Safe Concentration

Difference between adsorption of benzene by diatomite and nano-TiO2immobilized on diatomite was investigated. And effects of temperature, light intensity, relative humidity, and initial benzene concentration on adsorption and degradation of benzene by nano-TiO2immobilized on diatomite were also studied. The experimental results showed that when initial benzene concentration was2.2×10−3 mg L−1, it could be degraded to below safe concentration (1.1×10−4 mg L−1) after 50 h when temperature was 20°C, but it just needed 30 h at 35°C. When light intensity was 6750 Lx, it needed 30 h for benzene to be degraded to below safe concentration, but benzene could barely be degraded without light. When relative humidity was 50%, benzene could be degraded to1.0×10−4 mg L−1after 30 h, while its concentration could be reduced to7.0×10−5 mg L−1at the relative humidity of 80%.

Flower Bud Abortion

As a basis for breeding cvs adapted to flowering in winter light conditions, the growth of hybrid tea rose seedlings under controlled conditions was studied. Irradiance varied from 4-24 W/m2, day length was 8 h, temperature 21 deg C. Like cvs, the seedlings sometimes aborted the flower bud at low light intensity. With increasing irradiances, the following phenomena were observed: the juvenile period of the seedlings shortened; plants were longer at bud formation, at first flowering and at flower bud abortion; leaf area and the number of petals increased. Leaf number was constant at all irradiances. Flowering seedlings were smaller at bud formation, but taller at actual flowering than blind ones. Blind seedlings had fewer leaves with a smaller area.

Increased Sensitivity

Morphogenesis of Dollard red clover clones has provided indirect evidence that endogenous auxin level and, or, sensitivity of response of tissues to auxin vary according to light and temperature and as a function of genotype.The amount of growth and development was less in autotetraploid than in diploid plants.Root formation on propagules was influenced by relatively short-term different daylength pretreatments of intact plants; also, by the daylength and light intensity imposed during rooting.Under reduced light intensity extension growth already initiated was increased and this was related to increased "sensitivity" of growth response of stems and petioles to applied auxin.Morphogenetic effects relatively similar to those caused, respectively, by shortening the daylength and by lengthening the daylength resulted from antiauxin (TIBA) as compared with auxin (IAA) treatments.Concentrations of IAA that were primarily stimulatory to growth under shorter daylengths were inhibitory under continuous light. The primary stimulatory effect of IAA was on bud formation under SD but on stem elongation under LD.The relatively similar and additive effects of photoperiod, applied auxin, and cold pretreatment are discussed. It is postulated that in red clover a greater endogenous diffusible auxin level is required for optimum formation of stems and inflorescences than for buds and roots.Manipulation of light and temperature and the use of growth regulators provide added precision in the control of growth and development in red clover.

Effects Of Temperature

1. The effects of temperature and humidity on the duration of each instar of the life cycle of Calandra granaria Linn. have been examined. The insects were reared at temperatures ranging from 15 to 30° C. and at atmospheric humidities ranging from 40 to 80% R.H. 2. A method is described for assessing the effect of temperature as an independent factor. 3. The temperatures employed fall within the ‘vital zone’. Extrapolation indicates the threshold temperature to be approximately 11° C. for the egg and larval instars though somewhat lower for the pupa. 30° C. is below the optimum temperature. 4. The durations of the egg and pupal stages are not affected by atmospheric humidity. 5. The duration of all larval instars is affected by moisture. It is suggested that this is largely due to atmospheric humidity and that food water is of little significance. 6. Shortage of moisture acts as an obstacle to development. Evidence is presented which indicates that drier atmospheres tend to desiccate the insect and that desiccation is responsible for retarded growth and development. 7. Since much earlier work on temperature and moisture has been done on fasting insects and, therefore, on insects deficient in one of the most important environmental factors, we suggest that our results, incomplete as they are, indicate the need for new approaches to be made. More complete data on feeding insects under controlled conditions of food, temperature and moisture are required, from which can be drawn up more complete balance sheets of development involving measurements of food utilization and respiratory rates.
