The percentage of barley seeds (Hordeum vulgare) with coleorhiza or roots emerged at various times after germination in different volumes of water was determined. Germination was followed in barley seeds sown on filter papers moistened with 6–25 ml of water for up to 24 h at 25 °C; 30 seeds were sown on each 15-cm diameter petri plate. The most rapid germination, judged on coleorhiza emergence, occurred on 20 and 25 ml of water at 6 h, but root emergence was better on 9 than on 20 ml of water. Conditions appropriate for coleorhiza emergence retard root emergence. Similarly, at 45 h, coleoptile growth was better on 9 and 12 ml than on 20 ml of water. The initial stimulation of germination by 20 ml of water, succeeded by an inhibition of root and coleoptile growth, suggests that the various organs of a barley embryo respond differentially to different volumes of ambient water.

In rat proximal convoluted tubule (PCT), activation of protein kinase C (PKC) by phorbol 12,13-dibutyrate (PDBu) was previously reported to inhibit Na(+)-K(+)-ATPase, a paradoxical finding in view of the known stimulatory effect of PKC on Na+ reabsorption. Because this inhibition occurs via phospholipase A2 activation, a pathway stimulated by hypoxia, we evaluated the influence of oxygen supply on PKC action on Na(+)-K(+)-ATPase. Results confirmed that PDBu inhibited PCT Na(+)-K(+)-ATPase activity under usual conditions. In contrast, when oxygen supply was increased, PDBu had no effect on Na(+)-K(+)-ATPase hydrolytic activity, but it dose-dependently stimulated ouabain-sensitive 86Rb+ uptake. This latter effect, which was abolished by PKC inhibitors, resulted from an increment of the Na+ sensitivity of Na(+)-K(+)-ATPase. Thus, in oxygenated rat PCTs, activation of PKC primarily stimulated Na(+)-K(+)-ATPase. This likely contributes to increase solute reabsorption. Inhibition of Na(+)-K(+)-ATPase was observed only under hypoxic conditions. It may represent an adaptation to protect PCTs against deleterious effects of hypoxia.

The mean total coronary flow of dog hearts, perfused via the aorta by a donor dog, was recorded. The amount of work performed by the recipient heart was varied within wide ranges. Its aortic pressure was also varied, thus determining changes in the coronary flow. When the frequency of stimulation of the heart and the aortic pressure are maintained constant, changes of the work performed do not result in changes of the coronary flow. When the working conditions of the heart are maintained constant, changes of the coronary flow do not cause any variations of the amount of work performed. The work performed does not affect the pressure-flow relationships. It is concluded that with adequate circulation there is a wide margin of safety in the oxygen supply to the ventricle. The heart can increase its work importantly without producing or requiring an increase of its coronary flow.

2,3-Dihydrobenzofur-2,3-yleneacetic acid, 1,2-dihydro-l,2-naphthyleneacetic acid, and cis- and trans-2,3-dihydrothionaphthen-2,3-yleneacetic acid have been shown to competitively inhibit auxin-induced growth of Avena coleoptile sections, and thus are antiauxins. trans-2-Phenylcyclopropanecarboxylic acid, 2,3dihydrothionaphthen-2,3-yleneacetic acid dioxide, and 1,2-3,4-tetrahydronaphth1,2-3,4-di(yleneacetic acid) were inactive towards coleoptile growth.
