The Way

Elatostema rugosum A. Cunn. and Elatostema sessile J.R. Forst. & G. Forst. have dorsiventral shoots in which the leaves are arranged in anisophyllous pairs forming four ranks: two on the dorsal and two on the ventral side of the shoot. The ventral leaves have expanded asymmetrical leaf blades with lamina rotation, i.e., the lamina develops in the bud facing towards the upper side of the shoot rather than towards the shoot apex. Each ventral leaf has an asymmetrical intrapetiolar stipule. Lamina rotation occurs by asymmetrical development at the base of the leaf blade above the attachment of the stipule. The dorsal leaves are small, scale-like, approximately symmetrical exstipulate structures. The development of the ventral leaf is generally similar to that found in previous studies of related anisophyllous cases, but the dorsal leaf is reduced to a scale and is simpler than in related cases. Seedlings of E. sessile have been examined to investigate the way in which the combination of unusual features of shoot structure is produced, and also to cast light on the homology of the dorsal leaf. Anisophylly and asymmetry appear in the first pair of leaves formed above the cotyledons in seedlings and become accentuated in subsequent pairs. Events in seedlings suggest the dorsal leaf is derived by reduction from an initial state with blade, stipule, and basal region to the basal region alone. The rapid establishment of lamina rotation and asymmetry in the seedling shoot differs from most other cases described and adds to previous arguments that lamina rotation has arisen independently in a number of taxonomic groups.

Bud Initiation

In the course of a general developmental study of Arctostaphylos uva-ursi (L.) Spreng. (bearberry), observations were made on the pattern of lateral bud initiation and development. Three types of foliar organs (foliage leaves, transitional leaves, and bud scales) are initiated by a vegetative shoot apex each year in a predictable sequence. A robust bud, initiated as a detached meristem and delimited by a shell zone, developed in the axil of each foliage leaf. Smaller, poorly developed buds, sometimes arising from tissues of the leaf base, developed in transitional-leaf axils, but they rarely persisted. Although scale axils seldom contained buds, there was evidence to suggest that buds may have started to form but soon became arrested. In the development of an inflorescence, small bracts were initiated by the terminal apex instead of foliage leaves or cataphylls. Flower buds were then initiated in the axils of the bracts and the terminal apex became inactive. The relative roles of shoot apex and subtending leaf primorida in regulating the development of buds are discussed.

Abstract The stereotype of people with autism as unresponsive or uninterested in other people was prominent in the 1980s. However, this view of autism has steadily given way to recognition of important individual differences in the social-emotional development of affected people and a more precise understanding of the possible role social motivation has in their early development.

Abstract Autistic individuals can be socially motivated. We disagree with the idea that self-report is sufficient to understand their social drive. Instead, we underscore evidence for typical non-verbal signatures of social reward during the early development of autistic individuals. Instead of focusing on whether or not social motivation is typical, research should investigate the factors that modulate social drives.

Microscopic Studies

This study represents the first in a series of investigations carried out to elucidate the mechanism(s) of early hepatocellular damage induced by drugs and other related compounds. During screening tests of CNS-active compounds in rats, it has been found that daily oral administration of one of these compounds at a dose level of 40 mg. per kg. of body weight induced diffuse massive hepatic necrosis within 7 weeks in Charles River Sprague Dawley rats of both sexes. Partial hepatectomy enhanced the development of this peculiar type of necrosis (3 weeks instead of 7) while treatment with phenobarbital prior to the administration of the drug delayed the appearance of necrosis but did not reduce its severity.Electron microscopic studies revealed that early development of this liver injury (2 days after the administration of the drug) appeared in the form of small dark osmiophilic vesicles located around the bile canaliculi of all hepatocytes (Fig. 1). These structures differed from the regular microbodies or the pericanalicular multivesicular bodies. They first appeared regularly rounded with electron dense matrix bound with a single membrane. After one week on the drug, these vesicles appeared vacuolated and resembled autophagosomes which soon developed whorls of concentric lamellae or cisterns characteristic of lysosomes (Fig. 2). These lysosomes were found, later on, scattered all over the hepatocytes.

Standard Procedures

The antennal rudiments in lepidopterous insects are present as disks during the larval stage. The tubular double-walled antennal disk is present beneath the larval antenna, and its inner layer gives rise to the adult antenna during the pupal stage. The sensilla develop from a cluster of cells that are derived from one stem cell, which gives rise to both sensory and enveloping cells. During the morphogenesis of the sensillum these cells undergo major transformations, including cell death. In the moth Agrotis segetum the pupal stage lasts about 14 days (temperature, 25°C). The antennae, clearly seen from the exterior, were dissected and fixed according to standard procedures (3 % glutaraldehyde in 0.15 M cacaodylate buffer, followed by 1 % osmiumtetroxide in the same buffer). Pupae from day 1 to day 8, of both sexes were studied.

Fluorescent Studies

Embryonic development is a dynamic event and is best studied in live animals in real time. Much of our knowledge of the early events of embryogenesis, however, comes from immunofluourescent analysis of fixed embryos. While these studies provide an enormous amount of information about the organization of different structures during development, they can give only a static glimpse of a very dynamic event. More recently real-time fluorescent studies of living embryos have become much more routine and have given new insights to how different structures and organelles (chromosomes, centrosomes, cytoskeleton, etc.) are coordinately regulated. This is in large part due to the development of commercially available fluorescent probes, GFP technology, and newly developed sensitive fluorescent microscopes. For example, live confocal fluorescent analysis proved essential in determining the primary defect in mutations that disrupt early nuclear divisions in Drosophila melanogaster. For organisms in which GPF transgenics is not available, fluorescent probes that label DNA, microtubules, and actin are available for microinjection.

Abstract. In this article, we reflect on 50 years of the journal Social Psychology. We interviewed colleagues who have witnessed the history of the journal. Based on these interviews, we identified three crucial periods in Social Psychology’s history, that are (a) the early development and further professionalization of the journal, (b) the reunification of East and West Germany, and (c) the internationalization of the journal and its transformation from the Zeitschrift für Sozialpsychologie to Social Psychology. We end our reflection with a discussion of changes that occurred during these periods and their implication for the future of our field.
