    Notes: Plants of Poa pratensis cv. Holt initiate inflorescence primordia when exposed to short days (SD) and low temperature, but require a secondary induction by at least 4 long days (LD) for further inflorescence development and stem elongation. Single or double applications of 10 µg per plant of gibberellins A1, A3, A5 and 16,17-dihydro A5 (DHGA5) induced inflorescence development in a high proportion of plants in SD, but only if the plants were detillered to a single stem. Exposure to 2 LD cycles did not cause heading and flowering alone but enhanced the effect of exogenous gibberellins (GAs), bringing flowering to 100%. GA5 and DHGA5 were less effective than GA1 and GA3 in SD, especially with double applications, but were more effective than GA1 and GA3 when given together with 2 LD. The GAs had differential effects on vegetative growth and flowering, GA5 and DHGA5 causing much less leaf and stem growth than the other two GAs. Marginal induction, whether by LD or GA application, resulted in a high proportion of spikelets with viviparous proliferation. Thus, whereas GAs are inhibitory to the primary induction by SD, they can replace secondary induction by LD when vegetative growth is limited.

    Notes: Abstract We have integrated numercially the differential equtions for the Moon's rotation with respect to an inertial coordinate system, and the variational equations for (i) the six initial conditions of the rotation; (ii) the moment-of-inertia ratios β and γ; and (iii) the coefficients of the third-degree gravitational harmonics. When these integrations are used in conjunction with our current lunar-orbit and Earth-rotation models, and all of the relevant initial conditions and parameters are adjusted to fit five years of McDonald Observatory lunar laser ranging observations, the root-mean-square (rms) of the postfit range residuals is 28 cm. When we adjust the lunar-rotation initial conditions separately to fit the physical libration angles given by the numerical model of Williams (1975), we find an rms orientation difference over a six-year interval of ∼0.03 arcsecond, after removal of a constant bias. A similar comparison of our model with the semi-analytical model of Eckhardt (1981) yields an rms orientation difference of ∼0.2 arcsecond.

    Notes: Abstract Differential very-long-baseline interferometric observations of signals from Apollo Lunar Surface Experiment Package telemetry transmitters will yield the relative projected positions of the transmitters with uncertainty of only 1-3 m, set mainly by uncertainty of the lunar ephemeris. Noise and systematic instrumental errors which in the past affected similar observations have been reduced to the equivalent of a few centimeters on the lunar surface by the development of a new type of differential receiver. Continued observations should yield a determination of the motion of the Moon about its center of mass with uncertainty less than 1 s of selenocentric arc. Improvements (by other means) in our knowledge of the Moon's orbital motion would allow a further order-of-magnitude refinement in the libration and relative position results obtainable by differential VLBI.

    Notes: Abstract Arachis hypogaea L. is a tropical crop that is slow-growing at temperatures below 25°C. Unadapted CO2-assimilation rate (A) showed insufficient variation between 15 and 30°C in the short term (hours) to explain this marked reduction in growth. However, at longer periods (12 d), A was depressed as were growth rate and leafproduction rate. To examine the possible relationship between growth, A and sink demand plants were transferred from 30°C, which is near the optimum for growth, to a suboptimal temperature (19°C). In the first 2 d of cooling, A decreased by 50–70%, the stomata stayed open, and the intercellular CO2 concentration (ci) rose, i.e. the decrease in A of the cooled plants was the result of non-stomatal factors. Changes in dark respiration did not account for the decline in A. Clear evidence was obtained of sink control of A by independently manipulating the temperature of different leaves on the plant. Cooling (to 19°C) most of the plant (the sink) led to a 70% decline in A of the remaining leaves at 30°C after 3 d, whereas the converse treatments (30°C sink, 19°C source) resulted in small changes (17%). In plants at 19°C which were exposed to low CO2 concentration to prevent photosynthesis, A was not reduced when measured at normal CO2 concentrations, indicating that carbohydrate accumulation was responsible for the decline in A. Dry-matter build-up at suboptimal temperature was also consistent with end-product inhibition of photosynthesis.

    Notes: Abstract For dark-grown seedlings of Pharbitis nil capacity to flower in response to a single inductive dark period was established by 24 h white, far-red (FR) or ruby-red (BCJ) light and by a skeleton photoperiod of 10 min red (R)-24 h dark-10 min R. FR alone was ineffective without a brief terminal (R) irradiation, confirming that the form of phytochrome immediately prior to darkness is a crucial factor for flowering in Pharbitis. The magnitude of the flowering response was significantly greater after 24 h FR or white light (WL) (at 18° C and 27° C) than after two brief skeleton R irradiations, but the increased flowering response was not attributable to photosynthetic CO2 uptake because this could not be detected in seedlings exposed to 24 h WL at 18° C. Photophosphorylation could have contributed to the increased flowering response as photosystem I fluorescence was detectable in plants exposed to FR, BCJ, or WL, but there were large differences between flowering response and photosystem I capacity as indicated by fluorescence. We conclude that phytochrome plays a major role in photoresponses regulating flowering. There was no simple correlation between developmental changes, such as cotyledon expansion and chlorophyll formation during the 24-h irradiation period, and the capacity to flower in response to a following inductive dark period. Changes in plastid ultrastructure were considerable in light from fluorescent lamps and there was complete breakdown of the prolamellar body with or without lamellar stacking at 27 or 18° C, respectively, but plastid reorganization was minimal in FR-irradiated seedlings.

    Notes: Abstract Structural requirements for florigenic activity among gibberellins (GAs) and GA derivatives, including several new ones, applied once to leaves of Lolium temulentum, were examined. The compounds were applied to plants kept either in non-inductive short days (SD) or exposed to one inductive long day (LD). Inflorescence initiation and stem-elongation responses were assessed three weeks later. Among the GAs used, the range in effective dose for inflorescence initiation was more than 1000-fold, but substantially less for stem elongation. Some GAs promoted both stem elongation and inflorescence initiation, some promoted one without the other, and some affected neither. The structural features enhancing florigenic activity were often different from those enhancing stem elongation. Except in the case of 2,2-dimethyl GA4, a double bond in the A ring at either C-1,2 or C-2,3 was essential for high florigenic activity, though not for stem elongation. A free carboxy group was needed for both. Inflorescence initiation in Lolium was enhanced by hydroxylation at C-12, −13 and −15, whereas hydroxylation at C-3 reduced the effect on inflorescence initiation but increased that on stem elongation. A 12β-hydroxyl was more effective than the α epimer for inflorescence initiation whereas the reverse was true for stem elongation. Although such differential effectiveness of GAs for inflorescence initiation and for stem elongation could reflect differences in uptake, transport or metabolism, we suggest that it is indicative of specific structural requirements for inflorescence initiation.

    Notes: Abstract The low chlorophyll content of cotyledons of Pharbitis nil grown for 24 h in far-red light (FR) or at 18° C in white light from fluorescent lamps (WL) allows spectrophotometric measurement of phytochrome in these tissues. The Δ(ΔA) measurements utilize measuring beams at 730/802 nm and an actinic irradiation in excess of 90 s. The constancy of the relationship between phytochrome content and sample thickness confirms that, under these conditions of measurement, a true maximum phytochrome signal was obtained. These techniques have been used to follow changes in the form and amount of phytochrome during an inductive dark period for flowering. Following exposure to 24h WL at 18° C with a terminal 10 min red (R), Pfr was lost rapidly in darkness and approached zero in less than 1 h; during this period there was no change in the total phytochrome signal. Following exposure to 24 h FR with a terminal 10 min R, Pfr approached zero in 3 h, and the total phytochrome signal decreased by about half. The relevance of these changes to photoperiodic time measurement is discussed.

    Notes: Abstract During an inductive dark period for flowering, changes in phytochrome have been followed in cotyledons of Pharbitis nil seedlings using a spectrophotometric and a physiological technique. There was agreement between the two techniques, both indicating a rapid lowering of the levels of the far-red-absorbing form of the pigment (Pfr) during the first 30–90 min of darkness. Thus, Pfr could provide the cue which signals the beginning of darkness and the length of the critical dark period was, in some instances, correlated with the time of Pfr disappearance. However, there was no correlation with another indicator of photoperiodic time measurement, the time in darkness at which a brief night interruption becomes inhibitory to flowering. These results imply that the transition from light to darkness is not signalled by the disappearance of Pfr. However, the involvement of other photoreceptors seems unlikely. Thus, some mode of phytochrome action other than a simple Pfr-mediated response may be involved in the light/dark-sensing reactions of photoperiodism
