    Notes: The photosynthetic contribution of a fruit to its carbon requirement throughout ontogeny and under different growing conditions was quantified in cucumber (Cucumis sativus L. cv. Corona). In addition, the effects of shading on fruit dry matter accumulation and the diurnal course of the elongation rate were studied. Fruit darkening had no photomorphogenic effect on fruit growth, while the cumulative photosynthetic contribution of a fruit to its own carbon requirement ranged from 1 to 5%. During the day there was always a net CO2 efflux. The photosynthetic rate per fruit, calculated as the difference between rates of CO2 exchange in light and dark, increased during fruit ontogeny, while the photosynthetic rate per unit fruit surface area declined. The latter was not dependent on fruit size. The photosynthetic activity per unit surface area of fruits was estimated to be about 20–30% as efficient as that of leaves. The rate of calculated photosynthesis was reduced by 60–65% when the photosynthetically active radiation incident on the fruit decreased from 200 to 50 μmol m−2 s−1. Temperature (20–30°C) had no pronounced effect on the rate of calculated fruit photosynthesis when fruits of the same developmental stage (temperature sum) were compared. However, the relative photosynthetic contribution of a fruit to its carbon requirement increased when temperature decreased. Moreover, this contribution increased when irradiance increased or fruit growth was reduced by competing fruits. During fruit ontogeny the daily photosynthetic contribution was highest (up to 15%) in young and old fruits, with a small growth rate.

    Notes: The rates of dry weight increase and respiration of fruits were measured throughout fruit ontogeny at 20, 25 and 30°C in cucumber (Cucumis sativus L. cv. Corona). By maintaining one or five fruits per plant, which strongly affected fruit dry weight but not ontogeny, the effects of fruit size and ontogeny on respiration could be studied separately. The respiration rate per fruit followed a sigmoid curve during fruit ontogeny, while the specific respiration rate (respiration rate per unit dry weight) declined with time after anthesis. The specific respiration rate was almost linearly related to the relative growth rate. The specific respiratory costs for both growth and maintenance were highest in young fruits, but were not affected by fruit size. The average specific respiratory costs for growth and maintenance at 25°C were 3.3–3.9 mmol CO2 g−1 and 4.0 nmol CO2 g−1 s−1, respectively. An increase in temperature had no effect on the specific respiratory costs for growth, while the costs for maintenance increased with a Q10 of about 2. The costs for growth agreed reasonably well with theoretical estimates based on the chemical composition of the fruits but not with estimates based on only the carbon and ash content. The respiratory losses as a fraction of the total carbon requirement of a fruit changed during fruit ontogeny, but were independent of temperature and were similar for slow- and fast-growing fruits. The cumulative respiratory losses accounted for 13–15% of the total carbon requirement.

    Notes: Abstract Radish (Raphanus sativus L.) plants were grown at five soil salinity levels (1, 2, 4, 9 and 13 dS m-1) to analyse the effects on growth, dry matter partitioning, leaf expansion and water and nutrient use. Salinity was varied by proportionally changing the concentration of all macro nutrients. When the electrical conductivity (EC) of the soil solution increased from 1 to 13 dS m-1, the influx concentration of the nutrients absorbed by the plants (the ratio between the uptakes of nutrients and water) increased only from 1.6 to 3.5 dS m-1. The total nutrient uptake showed an optimum at an EC of the soil solution of about 4 dS m-1. The data suggest that at low salinity level (≤ 2 dS m-1) the nutrient uptake was limited by availability while at high salinity (〉4 dS m-1) it was limited by the growth of the plant. Total water use by the plants decreased and water use efficiency increased at high salinity. Plant growth was optimal at 2–4 dS m-1. At salinities higher than 4 dS m-1 total plant dry weight decreased 2.8% per dS m-1. About 80% of the growth reduction at high salinity could be attributed to reduction of leaf area expansion and hence to reduction of light interception. The remaining 20% of the salinity effect on growth was most likely explained by a decrease in stomatal conductance. The small leaf area at high salinity was related to a reduced specific leaf area and increased tuber/shoot weight ratio. The latter could be attributed to tuber formation starting at a smaller plant size at high salinity.

    Notes: New ammonium amphiphiles having a N,N-dimethyl-N-hydroxyethylammonium headgroup and various azobenzene mesogenic units connected by a decyl or dodecyl spacer have been synthesized. The azobenzene unit is functionalized at the 4-position with a cyano, methoxy or fluoro substituent. For the cyano-substituted amphotropes and the fluoro compound with a dodecyl spacer a smectic phase is formed as was observed by differential scanning calorimetry and polarization microscopy. Complexation with sodium dodecyl sulfate, SDS, in a 1:1 molar ratio induces the formation of a smectic phase for the compounds with a decyl spacer. The compounds with a dodecyl spacer showed rather complex behavior attributed to different crystal morphologies. The ammonium amphotropes form aggregates in water when heated above their Krafft temperature. However, these aggregates are not stable and crystallize upon cooling. The ion pair amphiphiles with SDS as second component form vesicles in water as observed by optical and electron microscopy. The observed blue shift in the UV absorption maximum of the amphotropes upon addition of SDS indicates π-π stacking between mesogenic units resulting from aggregation.

    Notes: -A novel, single-chained ammonium amphiphile that carries an o-hydroxyazobenzene unit at the terminus of its hydrophobic chain has been synthesized. This compound forms ordered thread-like aggregates upon dispersion in water. These aggregates exhibit a phase transition at 56 °C. The o-hydroxyazobenzene unit binds several transition-metal ions in a 2:1 stoichiometry. Binding of these metal ions results in a lowering of the critical aggregation concentration. From the changes in the UV absorption spectrum it is concluded that the Cu2+ complex forms more tightly packed aggregates in water than the Zn2+ and Ni2+ complexes.

    Notes: -The interaction of poly(maleic acid-co-alkyl vinyl ether)s and poly(sulfonylethyl maleic acid monoamide-co-alkyl vinyl ether)s with and without (cyanobiphenylyl)oxy chromophores with N-[ω-(substituted azobenzoxy)alkyl]-N,N-dimethyl-N-hydroxyethylammonium bromide surfactants has been studied by UV spectroscopy. The azobenzene unit is functionalized at the 4′-position with a cyano or fluoro substituent and is connected to the surfactant headgroup via a decyl or dodecyl spacer. Upon addition of surfactants to poly(maleic acid-co-butyl vinyl ether) the absorption maxima (λmax) of the azobenzene chromophores immediately show their maximum blue shift. This indicates cooperative binding of surfactant to this polymer, and the formation of micelle-like aggregates surrounded by polyelectrolyte is assumed. Upon addition of the surfactants to the other polyelectrolytes λmax values of the azobenzoxy chromophores gradually shift to lower values indicating a lower cooperativity of surfactant binding. This is attributed to the formation of microdomains by the polyelectrolytes themselves. For these systems the formation of mixed micelles is assumed. The compactness of the microdomains of the maleic acid copolymers is influenced by the pH and binding with surfactants is also influenced by pH. The sulfonylethyl maleic acid monoamide copolymers show no pH dependence in binding above neutral pH. For these polyelectrolytes the cooperativity also becomes less with a longer spacer between backbone and chromophore. Upon elongation of the surfactant spacer or changing the end group from a cyano to the more hydrophobic fluoro substituent a lower λmaxis observed for the chromophores upon initial binding to the polyelectrolytes indicating more cooperative binding. When surfactants and polyelectrolytes are both labelled with chromophores, binding proceeds noncooperatively and the formation of mixed micelles is assumed.

    Notes: Novel double-chained ammonium amphiphiles carrying one azobenzene moiety (I) have been synthesized. The bilayer-stabilizing effect of different azobenzenes (ABs) has been investigated by measuring the “gel-to-liquid crystalline” phase transition temperatures of the formed bilayers in water using differential scanning calorimetry. It is found that the stabilizing effect of the azobenzenes strongly depends on the substituents at the aromatic ring. The stabilizing effect increases in the sequence F 〈 H 〈 NO2 〈 CN 〈 OCH3 〈 N=N-Ph, which cannot be correlated with the electron-withdrawing or -donating properties of the substituents. It is concluded that dipole-dipole interactions between the ABs are of minor importance for the overall stabilization of the bilayer. Instead, other factors determine the strength of the van der Waals interactions between the ABs. In the bilayers the ABs form H-aggregates as is observed by the blue shift of the UV absorption maximum. This blue shift is not affected by the “gel-to-liquid crystalline” phase transition. Bilayers of I-N=N-Ph do not exchange monomers with vesicles of didodecyldimethylammonium bromide, whereas all other investigated bilayers do. Compound I-N=N-Ph forms monolayers at the water-air interface, which are much more stable than the monolayers of the other investigated compounds.

    Notes: A new series of rigid polymers was synthesized via radical copolymerization of N-phenylmaleimides, bearing pendant chromophores, with 4-vinylpyridine or styrene. Structural characterization was achieved by 1H NMR and 13C NMR spectroscopy, gel permeation chromatography (GPC), elemental analysis and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). The thermal properties as well as the morphology of the investigated polymers at the air-water interface appear to be related to their rigidity. In spite of the presence of excellent mesogenic units, the polymers do not exhibit liquid crystalline behaviour. The 4-vinylpyridine copolymers form stable monolayers at the air-water interface. The attached chromophores electronically behave as monomers, as shown with in situ UVVIS absorption spectroscopy. Brewster angle microscopy shows a spontaneous aggregation of these polymers into domains on a neutral subphase, whereas on an acidic subphase a more homogeneous monolayer is formed. The monolayers give Z-type transfer onto hydrophilic quartz. However, the chromophores seem to be oriented randomly at the substrate surface. The styrene copolymers do not form stable monolayers as a result of crystallization at the air-water interface.
