    Notes: SYNOPSIS. Some aspects of the physiology of encystment of the soil amoeba Hartmannella castellanii in a replacement encystment medium consisting of 5 × 10-2 M MgCl2 have been investigated. It is suggested that measurement of the cellulose produced during encystment in the synthesis of the cyst wall is a more reliable measure of the process than other methods tried.The degree of encystment was dependent on the physiologic state of the amoebae and the composition of the growth medium, but the initial pH of the encystment medium (C. 4.0-8.5) had little effect on the process. The requirement for Mg during encystment was probably not due to its deficiency during growth. Encystment was inhibited to varying extents by inhibitors of protein synthesis, tetracycline and chloramphenicol and also by arsenate, arsenite and iodoacetate; sodium fluoride, malonate and 2, 4-dinitrophenol were without marked effect.Addition of glucose and α-ketoglutarate to the replacement medium led to improvement in the encystment response. The presence of glutamate and histidine during encystment led to cell death. Other carbon and nitrogen sources had no effect.During encystment there was an increase in the metabolic activity of the amoebae, as measured by their oxygen consumption. This was accompanied by a decrease of about 40% in cellular dry weight and protein content. Of the other chemical components, there were marked initial increases in the levels of total carbohydrates and pentose which were followed by their depletion during cellulose synthesis.Encystment was completed after about 64 hr when the synthesis of cellulose was complete and the oxygen uptake of the amoebae fell to an immeasurable level.

    Notes: SYNOPSIS. The behavior of the amoeba H. castellanii was investigated in various carbon and nitrogen deficient media with a view to developing a satisfactory replacement medium for the study of encystment and excystment. Media which had been devised for other soil amoebae did not cause H. castellanii to encyst. In these media there was an efflux of material from the cells which was independent of osmolarity but which was minimized by the addition of magnesium. Maximal encystment occurred in a medium containing magnesium chloride alone.The cysts produced in the magnesium chloride replacement medium are viable and readily excyst when resuspended in the growth medium. The cysts contain cellulose, which is not present in the vegetative amoebae, and differ from the amoebae in their greater resistance to induced lysis and mechanical injury.

    Notes: Swards based on a mixture of SI 70 tall fescue and S215 meadow fescue were very early in spring, gave high yields for conservation in mid-season and, rested from mid-August, gave good grazing in November-December. Under this treatment, the tall fescue assumed dominance, and the swards were persistent and remained productive. The digestibility of the tall fescue swards was always higher than that of swards based on cocksfoot with which they were compared. During spring and autumn the former sward was better grazed by stock, but the position was reversed in mid-summer. Cattle grazing tall-fescue-dominant swards made better liveweight gains than those grazing cocksfoot swards during November-December.

    Notes: Stage of growth, leafiness and the accumulation of dead material were evaluated as factors causing differences in digestibility between varieties of perennial ryegrass, cocksfoot and timothy. In first growth these factors only partly accounted for the variation in digestibility between species but almost entirely accounted for the variation between varieties within each species. In the regrowths, heading behavior and leafiness were not closely associated with digestibility, which indicated that the variation between grasses following first growth may be a result of inherent differences.

    Notes: The distribution of natural and cultivated grasslands in relation to climate and the use of various indices and diagrams in studies of crops and climate are discussed. Attempts to establish simple linear relationships between yield and weather components have been disappointing. Studies involving light, theoretical considerations of productivity, adaptation of herbage plants in relation to climatic origin, etc. have proved more useful. Problems involved in extending the work conducted under controlled conditions to the field, are stressed. Particularly important is a better characterization of the environment prevailing in and immediately above swards of different types. The importance of winter survival in Britain is discussed.

    Notes: The botanical changes in a wet (Molinia) and a drier (Nardtts) upland pasture that followed a single defoliation by a forage harvester are briefly described. Without fertilizer the bare and litter-covered areas were soon recolonized by the original dominants; with lime and fertilizer the recolonization was mainly by Agrostis spp., even when Agrostis was a minor element in the original sward. These changes were markedly accelerated by the forage-harvester treatment. The results of surface seeding after the forage-harvester treatment are compared with those obtained after rotary cultivation. Contrasting moisture regimes and competitive thresholds led to considerable differences in sward balance and in establishment of sown species, and seeding was successful only on the wetter site. Too rapid regeneration of undesirable remnants was prevalent, but this and other hazards are related to the uneven deposit of litter left by the forage harvester; thick, slowly-rotting accumulations inhibited the redevelopment of rapidly-growing species and germination on seeded areas.

    Notes: Two silages of contrasting protein content were compared in a 16-week winter-feeding experiment with 12 Ayrshire cows. One silage contained 8.2% DCP in its DM and the other 15.9% DCP. The silages were fed ad lib. with a supplement of either barley or barley plus groundnut cake. The DM digestibilities of the low and high protein silages were 74 and 67%, respectively, and the calculated S.E.s 56 and 47. Silage and total DM intakes were highest in the treatments containing low protein silage and in those containing groundnut. The mean daily milk yields for the treatments with and without groundnut were 35.4 and 32.s5 Ib (16.1 and 14.8 kg), respectively, with the high-protein silage, and 38.1 and 35.0 Ib (17.3 and 15.9 kg) with the low-protein silage. The S.N.F. contents of the milk were low and averaged 8.26 and 8.34% on the high- and low-protein silage treatments, respectively, and were not affected significantly by the supplements. It is concluded that the low-protein silage was superior to the high-protein silage as a feed for cows, and that the digestibility of the silage DM was a truer indication of quality than protein content.

    Notes: As a preliminary step in the development of improved bred varieties an examination has been made of the factors which contribute to the success or failure of white clover (Trifolium repens) in hill land reseeding. Severe restrictions are placed on clover performance and N fixation in many hill areas in Britain by the poor climate, the low pH and exchangeable base status of the soils and the low frequency of effective indigenous Rhizobium strains.Agronomic solutions to some of these problems exist, but experience in mid-Wales suggests the need for new bred varieties with improved adaptation to the prevailing conditions, particular attention being directed to the limitation of N fixation by low soil temperature.

    Notes: Measurements were made of phosphorus uptake by intact tomato plants from solutions labelled with 32P. The plants were exposed to low water potentials by the addition of mannitol to culture solutions. The amounts of labelled phosphorus in the roots and in the shoots wore determined after a one- or two-hour period. Down to -5.4 atmospheres, the amount of labelled phosphorus in the roots remained constant, hut the amount transported to the shoots was reduced. However, potentials of -10.4 atm reduced the amount of labelled phosphorus in both the root and the shoot. Similar results were obtained when plants were tested immediately after water stress was imposed and when tested after water potentials had been lowered gradually.Plants were treated for one hour at low water potentials and then returned to control solutions (−0.4 atm). For a considerable time, these plants had a much lower phosphorus uptake than plants which had remained continuously at −0.4 atm. These data support the idea that a disturbance in mineral nutrition is partly responsible for reduced growth in plants which experience a moderate water deficit.
