Acid Pathway

1. When leaves with the C4-dicarboxylic acid pathway of photosynthesis are exposed to 14CO2 the major labelled compounds formed, in order of labelling, are dicarboxylic acids, 3-phosphoglycerate, bexose phosphates and sucrose. During the present studies several quantitatively minor intermediates were identified and their labelling behaviour is described. 2. The pattern of labelling of dihydroxyacetone phosphate, fructose 1,6-diphosphate and ribulose di- and mono-phosphates during radiotracer pulse–chase experiments was consistent with their operation as intermediates in the pathway of carbon dioxide fixation. 3. Serine, glycine, alanine and glutamate had labelling patterns typical of products secondary to the main flow of carbon. 4. The mechanism of the transfer of label from C-4 of dicarboxylic acids to C-1 of 3-phosphoglycerate was also examined. Evidence consistent with pyruvate being derived from C-1, C-2 and C-3 of oxaloacetate, and for a relationship between ribulose 1,5-diphosphate and the acceptor for the C-4 carboxyl group, was obtained. 5. Evidence is provided that, under steady-state conditions, essentially all the label incorporated from 14CO2 into C-1 of 3 phosphoglycerate enters via C-4 of the dicarboxylic acids. These and other studies indicated that the route via dicarboxylic acids is essentially the sole route for entry of carbon into 3-phosphoglycerate.

1. Leaves were exposed to 14CO2 under steady-state conditions for photosynthesis. The kinetics of entry or loss of label in pools of CO2 and other compounds was examined during the period of the pulse and a ‘chase’ with 12CO2. 2. With maize the kinetics of labelling of the major CO2 pool and of depletion of label during a ‘chase’ was consistent with this pool being derived from the C-4 of malate and being the precursor of the C-1 of 3-phosphoglycerate. 3. Similar results were obtained for Amaranthus leaves except that the C-4 of aspartate rather than malate was apparently the primary source of CO2. 4. The size and turnover time of the CO2 and C4 acid pools was calculated. These results provided the basis for estimating the concentration of CO2 in the bundle-sheath cells or chloroplasts assuming the pool was largely restricted to one or other of these compartments. 5. These findings are considered in relation to current schemes for the C4-pathway and the operation of a CO2 concentrating mechanism to serve ribulose diphosphate carboxylase.

Laser Effect

While much is known regarding the effect of lasers on the retina, little study has been done on the effect of lasers on cornea, because of the limitation of the size of the material. Using a combination of electron microscope and several newly developed cytochemical methods, the effect of laser can now be studied on eye for the purpose of correlating functional and morphological damage. The present paper illustrates such study with CO2 laser on Rhesus monkey.

The advent of the scanning electron microscope (SCEM) has renewed interest in preparing specimens by avoiding the forces of surface tension. The present method of freeze drying by Boyde and Barger (1969) and Small and Marszalek (1969) does prevent surface tension but ice crystal formation and time required for pumping out the specimen to dryness has discouraged us. We believe an attractive alternative to freeze drying is the critical point method originated by Anderson (1951; for electron microscopy. He avoided surface tension effects during drying by first exchanging the specimen water with alcohol, amy L acetate and then with carbon dioxide. He then selected a specific temperature (36.5°C) and pressure (72 Atm.) at which carbon dioxide would pass from the liquid to the gaseous phase without the effect of surface tension This combination of temperature and, pressure is known as the "critical point" of the Liquid.
