TL;DR: The excrement of the caterpillars has been suggested to contain some substance or substances that preserve chlorophyll, but these green islands have been found to contain considerable quantities of cytokinin, although the rest of the leaf, and even green leaves of the same tree, are practically free of any of this group of hormones.
Abstract: IN autumn, yellow or brownish leaves frequently have green spots surrounding small mining caterpillars (Fig. 1). The excrement of the caterpillars has been suggested to contain some substance or substances that preserve chlorophyll1. Recently these green islands have been found to contain considerable quantities of cytokinin, although the rest of the leaf, and even green leaves of the same tree, are practically free of any of this group of hormones2.

TL;DR: In this article, the synthesis of pyrylium salts is classified into three groups according to the number of building blocks required to form the ring in a one-step process.
Abstract: Publisher Summary The pyrylium salts represent one of the fundamental heterocyclic systems and are the basis of important natural products such as the anthoeyanins. This chapter reviews the scope, nomenclature, formulation, and syntheses of pyrylium salts. The syntheses of pyrylium salts are classified into three groups, according to the number of building blocks required to form the ring in a one-step process. The three groups are: (1) one-component syntheses, (2) two-component syntheses, and (3) three-component syntheses. Pyrylium salts bearing aromatic or heterocyclic substituents, or possessing fused saturated rings and considered as monocyclic pyrylium salts are discussed. A number of reactions starting from pyrylium salts and involving substitution at the pyrylium ring, or modification of existing substituents are also described. Pyrylium salts are useful intermediates in the conversion of aliphatic starting materials into aromatic carbocyclic or heterocyclic compounds. Some practical applications of pyrylium salts emerged are: fluorescent dyes, photosensitizers for silver halides, or photographic emulsions.

TL;DR: In this paper, the Umsetzung von Tetraphenylbiphosphin with LiPR2 (R = C2H5; c-C6H11) and Li2PR′ (R′ = C6H5) fuhrt zunachst zu unsymmetrischen Biphosphinen R′2P-PR2 bzw. R′(Li)P-P(Li)-R′
Abstract: Es wird uber die Reaktionen von Bi- und Cyclopoly-phosphinen mit P-substituierten Lithiumphosphiden berichtet. Die Umsetzung von Tetraphenylbiphosphin mit LiPR2 (R = C2H5; c-C6H11) und Li2PR′ (R′ = C6H5) fuhrt zunachst zu unsymmetrischen Biphosphinen R′2P-PR2 bzw. R′(Li)P-PR′2, die mit weiterem LiPR2(Li2PR′) die symmetrischen Biphosphine R2P-PR2 bzw. R′(Li)P-P(Li)R′ bilden. Aus „Phenylphosphor” und Li2PC6H5 entstehen Verbindungen des Typs Li-(PC6H5)x-Li (x = 2, 3, 4). Versuche, Lithium-phosphide der Zusammensetzung Li-(PC6H5)x-P(C6H5)2 (x > 1) aus „Phenylphosphor” und Lithium-diphenylphosphid herzustellen, blieben ohne Erfolg. Es gelang nur, ihre Zerfalls- bzw. Abbauprodukte 1.4-Dilithium-1.2.3.4-tetraphenyl-tetraphosphin, Tetraphenylbiphosphin und 1-Lithium-1.2.2-triphenylbiphosphin zu isolieren.

TL;DR: Five spring barley varieties resistant to race 24 of Puccinia striiformis were crossed with each other and with three susceptible varieties in almost all possible combinations, suggesting that the three genes are inherited independently, close linkage can be excluded.
Abstract: Five spring barley varieties resistant to race 24 of Puccinia striiformis were crossed with each other and with three susceptible varieties (Table 1) in almost all possible combinations. The F 2 generations and in two cases also the F 3, were inoculated in the greenhouse with race 24. F 2 generations of some of the crosses were, in addition, tested with race 24 in the field. Dependable classification of resistance and, consequently, unambiguous interpretation of results was possible only for the experiments carried out in the greenhouse. Although the field tests confirmed these results, they would not have been conclusive by themselves.The resistance of all of the five varieties studied is due to single recessive genes (Table 2). Three of the varieties have alleles at the same locus, the other two varieties have other resistance genes (Tables 3 and 4): 'Bigo' - yr, 'Ab. 14' - yr, 'BBA 2890' - yr; 'Abed Binder 12' - yr2; 'I 5' - yr3. The results suggest that the three genes are inherited independently, close linkage can be excluded.

TL;DR: Under conditions of limiting orthophosphate concentration in cells of Euglena gracilis, Z strain, there is an increase in phosphatase activity with an optimum at pH 6.4 indicating that the increased activity is related to enzyme synthesis.
Abstract: Under conditions of limiting orthophosphate concentration in cells of Euglena gracilis, Z strain, there is an increase in phosphatase activity with an optimum at pH 6.4. Derepression begins when phosphate concentration is below 0.5 mM. Maximal values of activity are reached after 75 hours of culture. The increase in phosphatase activity is prevented by hadacidin, cycloheximide and p-fluorophenylalanin indicating that the increased activity is related to enzyme synthesis. The derepressed phosphatase of Euglena is stimulated by EDTA and inhibited by orthophosphate; Ki= 5 × 10−5 M. In contrast to alkaline phosphatase of Escherichia coli the derepressed phosphatase of Euglena is extremely thermolabile. When, after a period of phosphate starvation, phosphate is replenished in a derepressed culture, phosphatase activity drops rapidly to the level of activity characteristic of repressed cells. The disappearance of activity after phosphate addition cannot be attributed exclusively to a repressive mechanism. The rate of decline in the specific activity of phosphatase is much more rapid than can be accounted for by dilution through new protein synthesis. If the synthesis of phosphatase is interrupted by cycloheximide or by p-fluorophenylalanine the level of activity remains constant for at least 48 hours. This rules out the possibility that the phosphatase is an enzyme which undergoes rapid metabolic turnover and that the observed disappearance of activity is merely the expression of general instability of this enzyme following the repression of its synthesis. The disappearance is due to an inactivation process promoted by addition of phosphate. This inactivation process was found to be partly prevented by cycloheximide and is reversibly interrupted by chilling the cells to 20. p-Fluorophenylalanine is without any effect on the rate of inactivation. Prevention of inactivation by cycloheximide is not due to inhibition of phosphate uptake. Inactivation of phosphatase is an irreversible process and new increase of phosphatase activity in inactivated cells is dependent on de novo protein synthesis rather than on a reactivation of the inactivated enzyme molecule.

TL;DR: In this paper, a Ubersicht uber the regionale and standortliche Differenzierung der mitteldeutschen Segetalvegetation erarbeitet.
Abstract: Unter Zugrundelegung eines Materials von uber 6300 Vegetationsaufnahmen wurde eine Ubersicht uber die regionale und standortliche Differenzierung der mitteldeutschen Segetalvegetation erarbeitet. Es wurden dabei 8 Segetalassoziationen unterschieden, die nach dem Prinzip der charakteristischen Artengruppenkombination gegliedert sind. Den gegebenen regionalen, d. h. klimatisch bedingten Unterschieden entsprechend ergibt sich eine Differenzierung der Gesellschaften in Rassen und geographische Ausbildungsformen. Den unterschiedlichen edaphischen Verhaltnissen entspricht daneben eine (vor allem von Bodenart und Basensattigung abhangige) trophiebedingte Gliederung in Subassoziationsgruppen und Subassoziationen sowie eine durch die Feuchtigkeitsverhaltnisse der Krume und des Unterbodens bedingte Feindifferenzierung in Varianten und Subvarianten. Dabei ist zu bemerken, das die hoheren systematischen Einheiten durch die konstanteren Standortsmerkmale gepragt werden, wahrend die variableren Merkmale die niedrigeren systematischen Einheiten bestimmen. Die menschlichen Kulturmasnahmen wie Fruchtfolgen, Herbizideinwirkung und Bearbeitungsmasnahmen wurden jeweils durch die verschiedenen Auspragungen einer Segetalgrundgesellschaft erfast. Jahreszeitlich bedingter Wechsel im Artenbestand ausert sich in den verschiedenen Aspekten. Die von Hilbig, Mahn, Schubert & Wiedenroth 1962 vorgenommene Zusammenfassung der in Mitteldeutschland vorkommenden Ackerunkrauter zu okologischsoziologischen Artengruppen konnte ubernommen werden.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors compared the results obtained with those obtained with Zeum analysis of the tomato and showed that the conversion activity (paramutagenicity) of an allele is expressed by the percentage of green-yellow variegated plants among the heterozygotes.
Abstract: 1. Several lines of Lycopersicon esculentum, which are heterozygous for a mutant sulfurea (sulf) allele vary greatly in the percentage of variegated plants among the heterozygotes. This variegation is caused by somatic conversion (paramutation). The different frequency of conversion is due to the presence of different sulf alleles. Within the sulfurea (pura) (sulf (pura) ) and sulfurea (variegata) (sulf (vag) ) groups there are different alleles, which - though indistinguishable in homozygous condition - can be distinguished by their different conversion activity (paramutagenicity) in heterozygotes with sulf (+). 2. The conversion activity (paramutagenicity) of an allele is expressed by the percentage of green-yellow variegated plants among the heterozygotes (e. g. sulf (pura-90%) means: 90 plants out of 100, which are heterozygous for this particular sulf (pura) allele, are variegated, and 10 are entirely green). 3. The conversion activity (paramutagenicity) of a particular sulf allele can be changed by mutations; it can be either increased or decreased. 4. Crosses have been made between sulf homozygotes (Lycopersicon esculentum, variety Lukullus) and different taxa of the subgenus Eulycopersicon (L. esculentum: marker stocks, German tomato varieties, distantly related varieties from South and Central America; L. pimpinellifolium). Within the subgenus Eulycopersicon the frequency of somatic conversion (paramutation) is - within the range of random and modificative fluctuations - determined only by the conversion activity (paramutagenicity) of the special sulf allele present. Effects of the genetic background could not be demonstrated. Conversion-stable (non-paramutable) sulf (+) isoalleles have not been found in this subgenus. 5. The sulf (pura) group consists of alleles with all possible degrees of conversion activity (paramutagenicity) between 0% and 100% for particular years and average conversion values between 3,6% and 92,9% for several years. The sulf (vag) alleles have a lower conversion activity; its maximum is about 12%. No sulf alleles have been found which have entirely lost their conversion activity. 6. After crossing sulf heterozygotes (L. esculentum) with the distantly related species Lycopersicon hirsutum (subgenus Eriopersicon) and Solanum pennellii significant deviations from the expected 3∶1 segregation for sulf have been found in F 1 and F 3; there is a distinct deficit of sulf sulf seedlings. In F 1 species hybrids somatic conversion (paramutation) occurred very seldom (less than 2%). However in F 2 of both crosses some progenies had frequencies of conversion up to 9,3% (L. esc. x L. hirs.) and 8,5% (L. esc. x Sol. pen.). In F 3 some progenies had frequencies which were slightly higher than those in F 2. In F 4 a progeny has had a frequency of conversion of 61,7%. 7. In F 1, F 2, F 3and F 4 of these species hybrids the sulf (+) allele is from L. hirsutum or S. pennellii and the sulf allele is from L. esculentum; i.e. the system sulf (+) - sulf is always the same. Therefore the differences in the conversion frequency between F 1 and F 2, F 3and F 4 respectively indicate an influence of the genetic background. The genetic background of the subgenus Eulycopersicon allows the full expression of the conversion system sulf (+) - sulf. Genes of L. hirsutum or S. pennellii, however, intensely inhibit the occurrence of somatic conversion in F 1. Genetic recombination in the species hybrids leads to the occurrence of genotypes in F 2, F 3and F 4 which allow conversion to take place more frequently. 8. In the discussion the results obtained with the sulf system of the tomato are compared with those of the analysis of the paramutation systems at the R and B locus in Zea mays, at the cruciata locus in Oenothera and in the rogue heterozygotes of Pisum sativum.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors show that bis-π-cyclopentadienyl-titanium-dichloride and -zirkonium-dibromide react with pyrrole, indole, phthalimide-potassium and carbazole-lithium by preserving the valence state 4 to the corresponding bis-pyrrolates, bis-indolates and bis-phthalimides.
Abstract: Bis-π-cyclopentadienyl-titan-dichlorid und -zirkonium-dibromid reagieren mit Pyrrol-, Indol-, Phthalimid-Kalium sowie Carbazollithium unter Bildung der entsprechenden Bispyrrolate, Bis-indolate, Bis-carbazolate bzw. Bis-phthalimide. Wahrend in einer analogen Substitutionsreaktion zwischen KN(C6H5)2 · 3 Dioxan und (π-C5H5)2ZrBr2 das Bis-π-cyclopentadienyl-zirkonium(IV)-bis-diphenylamid entsteht, erfolgt mit (π-C5H5)2TiCl2 lediglich Reduktion zu Bis-π-cyclopentadienyl-titan(III)-chlorid. Diese Oxydoreduktion wird auch durch Einsatz von LiN(CH3)2, LiN(C2H5)2 und KN{Si(CH3)3}2 · 2 Dioxan beobachtet, wobei mit (π-C5H5)2TiCl2 eindeutig [(π-C5H5)2TiCl]2 und im Falle des Zirkoniums nicht definierbare Reaktionsprodukte resultieren. Bis-π-cyclopentadienyl-titanium-dichloride and -zirkonium-dibromide react with pyrrole, indole-, phthalimide-potassium and carbazole-lithium by preserving the valence state 4 to the corresponding bis-pyrrolates, bis-indolates, bis-carbazolates and bis-phthalimides. (π-C5H5)2ZrBr2 yields with KN(C6H5)2 · 3dioxane (π-C5H5)2Zr{N(C6H5)2}2; (π-C5H5)2TiCl2, however, is reduced to bis-π-cyclopentadienyl-titanium-chloride. LiN(CH3)2, LiN(C2H5)2 and KN{Si(CH3)3}2 form by oxydo-reduction [(π-C5H5)2TiCl]2 too. In the case of the zirkonium-compound defined substances cannot been received.

TL;DR: There are relations in the form and the development of leaves between Echinops and Carlina and the authors give no finally decision whether the heads of these genera are simple or compound inflorescences.
Abstract: Die Blattfolge von Echinops wird am Beispiel von E. sphaerocephalus ausfuhrlich dargestellt. Bei den Laubblattern wird besonders auf die getarnte Fiederung sowie die Fiederbildung an Blattstiel und Blattgrund hingewiesen. Die den Blutenstand und die einzelnen Bluten umgebenden Hullorgane werden nach Stellung und Entwicklung als Blatter (Hochblatter) angesprochen. Ihre borstlichen Formen sind den Pappusborsten der Compositen sehr ahnlich. Es bestehen deutliche Entsprechungen in der Blattbildung der Infloreszenzen von Echinops und Carlina. Es kann aber nicht endgultig entschieden werden, ob die Kopfchen dieser Gattungen als Infloreszenzen oder als Synfloreszenzen beurteilt werden mussen. On the example of Echinops sphaerocephalus the succession of leaves is represented. Especially is referred to the hid pinnation of the foliage leaves. Also the production of segments at the petiole and at the leaf base is examined. In regard to their position and their juvenile development the bracts surrounding both the inflorescences and the single flowers are true leaves (hypsophylls). The bristly forms of these bracts are similar to the pappus bristles. There are relations in the form and the development of leaves between Echinops and Carlina. But the authors give no finally decision whether the heads of these genera are simple or compound inflorescences.

TL;DR: In this paper, the photocurrent in CdS single crystals can be used for detecting the existence of wavefields in crystals as well as a method for proving the X-ray intensity distribution in the regions of the individual atoms.
Abstract: It is shown that the photocurrent in CdS single crystals can be used for detecting the existence of wavefields in crystals as well as a method for proving the X-ray-intensity distribution in the regions of the individual atoms. The investigation was carried out by means of a double-crystal spectrometer in (2, −2) position under the application of MoKα and CuKα radiation. Agreement between theoretical calculation and experimental results has been found. Es wird gezeigt, das der Photostrom in CdS-Einkristallen dazu benutzt werden kann, um sowohl die Existenz von Wellenfeldern im Kristall nachzuweisen als auch deren Intensitatsverteilung am Ort der Atome zu bestimmen. Die Untersuchungen wurden mit einem Doppelkristallspektrometer in (2, −2)-Stellung unter Verwendung von CuKα- und MoKα-Strahlung durchgefuhrt. Eine gute Ubereinstimmung zwischen theoretisch berechneten und experimentell gewonnenen Kurven wurde erhalten.

TL;DR: In this paper, the Vorzeichen der Thermokraft bei Zimmertemperatur auf p-Leitung hin wachsender Temperatures ( − 190 bis + 400 °C) vergrosert sich die Leitfahigkeit und sinkt die Hallkonstante, bei Proben der Einwaage x = 0 bis 1, beien x = 2 bis 0,8 bis 2 ist dies genau umgekehrt.
Abstract: Im System In(2−x)SbxTe3 liesen sich Einkristalle nur mit der Zusammensetzung x = 2 bis 0,8 ziehen, sonst wurden polykristalline Proben verwendet. Bei allen polykristallinen Proben, auser der mit x = 1, weist das Vorzeichen der Thermokraft bei Zimmertemperatur auf p-Leitung hin. Die Probe mit x = 1 zeigt einen Umschlag von p- nach n-Leitung im zuletzt erstarrten Ende. Bei den gezogenen Kristallen ist nur bei der Probe mit x = 1 ein lokalisierter p-n-Ubergang festzustellen. Die anderen gezogenen Kristalle (Spaltebenen vorhanden, im Schliffbild aber inhomogen) von x = 0,8 bis x = 1,3 zeigen p- und n-Leitung verstreut uber Probenlange- und Umfang. Mit wachsender Temperatur ( − 190 bis + 400 °C) vergrosert sich die Leitfahigkeit und sinkt die Hallkonstante, bei Proben der Einwaage x = 0 bis 1, bei x = 1,8 bis 2 ist dies genau umgekehrt. Proben mit x = 1,2 bis 1,6 zeigen ein Ubergangsverhalten. Von x = 0 an steigt die Ladungstragerkonzentration. Die aus der Eigenleitungsgeraden ermittelte Breite der verbotenen Zone sinkt fur x = 0 bis 1,6. Fur x = 1,8 bis 2 wird der Abstand der Valenzbander zu etwa 0,08 eV berechnet.

TL;DR: Ohmura and Matsudaira as mentioned in this paper showed that plasmon emission during the scattering process diminishes the Compton scattering cross-section against its value within the Hartree-Fock approximation, which neglects the Coulomb interaction.
Abstract: The effect of Coulomb interaction on the Compton scattering cross-section (CSCS) of a free electron gas has been calculated theoretically by Ohmura and Matsudaira within the framework of the random phase approximation (RPA). These calculations have shown that plasmon emission during the scattering process diminishes the CSCS against its value within the Hartree-Fock approximation, which neglects the Coulomb interaction. A method is presented to measure relative values of the CSCS of metal valence electrons by separating the core electron part from the valence electron part of the Compton line profile. The relative values of the CSCS have been brought onto an absolute scale by means of a sum rule for the imaginary part of the dielectric constant given by Noziere and Pines. The measured values of the CSCS of Be valence electrons are in good agreement with the RPA calculations of Ohmura and Matsudaira. Von Ohmura und Matsudaira wurde theoretisch der Einflus der Coulomb-Wechselwirkung auf den Compton-Streuquerschnitt eines freien Elektronengases im Rahmen der „random phase approximation” (RPA) berechnet. Diese Rechnungen haben gezeigt, das die Emission von Plasmonen wahrend des Streuprozesses den Compton-Streuquerschnitt gegenuber seinem Wert in der Hartree-Fock-Naherung, welche die Coulomb-Wechselwirkung vernachlassigt, herabsetzt. Es wird eine Methode zur Messung relativer Werte des Compton-Streuquerschnittes von Valenzelektronen der Metalle angegeben, die auf einer Trennung des Rumpfelektronen-Anteils vom Valenzelektronen-Anteil des Compton-Linienprofiles beruht. Die relativen Werte des Compton-Streuquerschnittes wurden durch Verwendung einer Summenregel fur den Imaginarteil der Dielektrizitatskonstanten nach Noziere und Pines in absolute Werte umgeformt. Die gemessenen Werte des Compton-Streuquerschnittes von Be-Valenzelektronen stimmen gut mit den RPA-Berechnungen von Ohmura und Matsudaira uberein.
