Shoot development in pines is usually a two-stage process, with buds formed in the summer and elongation delayed until the next spring. Summer shoots have been described which originate by precocious elongation of a bud, a process which may or may not be followed by organization of a new dormant bud. However, in several of the pinyon pines, and perhaps in other soft pines as well, summer shoots are formed without having first been present as a bud. These summer shoots are composed partially of internodes associated with terminal bud scales of the previous year, but mainly of internodes initiated and elongated concurrently in the spring and summer. The major lateral branches of the complex shoot have their origin in the summer shoots, laterals of the spring shoot apparently being inhibited. Short shoots and long shoots of the summer shoot have developmental schedules that contrast with those of the spring shoot.

Terminal Buds

Cytohistology and the development and morphogenesis of sugar maple (Acersaccharum Marsh.) shoots were studied. Three types were recognized: short shoots, long shoots entirely preformed in the bud (Epf long), and long shoots partially preformed in the bud (heterophyllous). The three shoot types varied not only in the size and number of internodes and leaves but also in the development of terminal buds. Terminal bud formation was delayed in heterophyllous shoots but because of a shorter plastochron, which extended later into the growing season, the terminal apices of these shoots were able to annually produce more primordia than in other shoot types. The beginning of embryonic shoot formation, however, began about the same time (late July) for all shoot types.

Shepherdia Canadensis

In the context of an architectural analysis, the seasonal pattern of shoot development of Shepherdia canadensis and S. argentea (Elaeagnaceae) was examined. In both species floral bud burst was the first outward manifestation of seasonal activity. Vegetative shoots of S. canadensis expanded 3 – 5 pairs of preformed leaves during a period of 9 – 10 weeks. There was no pattern of internodal length that identified annual increments. In S. argentea, 6 – 18 pairs of leaves expanded during a period of 15 – 17 weeks, the variation being related to the extent of neoformation. There was a distinct pattern of internodal length, with a maximum in midseason, so that annual increments could be recognized subsequently. Lateral buds in S. canadensis expanded only proleptically as either short shoots or long shoots. Most had declining growth rates in the subsequent year and within 5 to 7 years had undergone abscission. In S. argentea. lateral buds expanded both sylleptically and proleptically as short shoots, long shoots, or thorns. The distribution pattern of these lateral types was related to the vigour of parent shoot growth. Some abscission of short shoots was noted. For each species a stochastic flow chart of shoot development was prepared and a computer program incorporating actual data was written that simulated shoot development for up to four generations of growth. Comparison of the two species indicates that S. argentea is more plastic in response to environmental conditions.

The main shoot apex of P. resinosa is found to comprise four groups of meristematic cells constituting four generative centers by which the parts of the winter terminal bud are laid down. These are the superficial initiating cells, the group or zone of subapical mother cells, the zone of pith mother cells, and the flanking cells.The superficial primordia of the terminal winter bud pass the winter as secondary lateral budlets on the flanks of the main bud axis. Those of the leaf-bearing short shoots do not normally differentiate leaves until the following spring. Neither do those which develop into lateral long shoots. The fertile budlets, on the contrary, produce cones in the late summer and autumn. The female cone enters the winter with no tissue differentiation of the cone body. This takes place very slowly but prominently in the course of the winter. The male inflorescence is well advanced in the autumn and winter progress is relatively slight.The natural control of morphogenesis at the shoot apex including the fitful seeding habit of P. resinosa is considered in the light of the growth timetable. To explain its mechanism, a working hypothesis involving production, consumption, and concentration of auxins is advanced as a preliminary to future work.

Ultrasound Assisted

In this study, ultrasound was used to accelerate two-stage (esterification–transesterification) catalytic synthesis of biodiesel from used cooking oil, which originally had a high acid value (4.35 mg KOH/g). In the first stage, acid-catalyzed esterification reaction conditions were developed with a 9:1 methanol/oil molar ratio, sulfuric acid dosage at 2 wt %, and a reaction temperature of 60 °C. Under ultrasound irradiation for 40 min, the acid value was effectively decreased from 4.35 to 1.67 mg KOH/g, which was decreased to a sufficient level (<2 mg KOH/g) to avoid the saponification problem for the subsequent transesterification reaction. In the following stage, base-catalyzed transesterification reactions were carried out with a 12:1 methanol/oil molar ratio, a sodium hydroxide dosage of 1 wt %, and a reaction temperature of 65 °C. Under ultrasound-assisted transesterification for 40 min, the conversion rate of biodiesel reached 97.05%, which met the requirement of EN 14214 standard, i.e., 96.5% minimum. In order to evaluate and explore the improvement of the ultrasound-assisted two-stage (esterification–transesterification) process in shortening the reaction time, additional two-stage biodiesel synthesis experiments using the traditional mechanical stirring method under the optimal conditions were further carried out in this study. It was found that, under the same optimal conditions, using the ultrasound-assisted two-stage process, the total reaction time was significantly reduced to only 80 min, which was much shorter than the total time required by the conventional method of 140 min. It is worth noting that compared with the traditional method without ultrasound, the intensification of the ultrasound-assisted two-stage process significantly shortened the total time from 140 min to 80 min, which is a reduction of 42.9%. It was concluded that the ultrasound-assisted two-stage (esterification–transesterification) catalytic process is an effective and time-saving method for synthesizing biodiesel from used cooking oil with a high acid value.
