SUMMARYControlled-environment experiments showed that development of the coleoptile node tiller (T1) was suppressed much more than that of the tiller appearing in the axil of the first true leaf (T2) by high temperature (24/15 °C; 19/10 °C; 10/6 °C), by reduced photoperiod (16 h; 12·5 h) or by low light intensity (1100 ft-c; 1000 ft-c), but minimally in the newest variety, Deba Abed. Unlike previous field experiments, the T1 tiller appeared on more Spratt Archer than Maris Badger plants. Maris Badger plants produced more T1 tillers in a high-low temperature regime (19/10 °C; 10/6 °C) than in continuous low temperature (10/6 °C). In a field experiment T1 tiller number (and yield), but not the number of other major shoots, were severely reduced by late sowing of Spratt Archer, progressively reduced in Maris Badger, but minimally in Deba Abed. This seemed to be associated with higher temperatures at later sowings.

Temperature Regimes

A series of experiments investigating the interactive effects of light and temperature on vegetative growth, earliness, fruiting, yield and fibre properties in three cultivars of cotton, was undertaken in growth rooms. Two constant day/night temperature regimes with a difference of 4 °C (30/20 and 26/16·5 °C) were used throughout the growing season in combination with two light intensities (75 and 52·5 W m−2).The results showed that significant interactions occurred for most of the characters studied. Although the development of leaf area was mainly temperature-dependent, plants at harvest had a larger leaf area when high temperature was combined with low rather than with high light intensity. Leaf area was least in the low temperature–low light regime. However, the plants grown under the high temperature–low light combination weighed the least.Variations in the number of nodes and internode length were largely dependent on temperature rather than light. Light did, however, affect the numbers of branches, sympodia and monopodia. The first two of these were highest in the high light–high temperature regime and the third in the low light–low temperature regime.All other characters, except time to certain developmental stages and fibre length, were reduced at the lower light intensity. Variation in temperature modified the light effect and vice versa, in a character-dependent manner. More specifically, square and boll dry weights, as well as seed cotton yield per plant, were highest in high light combined with low temperature, where the most and heaviest bolls were produced. But flower production was favoured by high light and high temperature, suggesting increased boll retention at low temperature, especially when combined with low light. Low temperature and high light also maximized lint percentage.Fibres were shortest in the high temperature–high light regime, where fibre strength, micronaire index and maturity ratio were at a maximum. However, the finest and the most uniform fibres were produced when high light was combined with low temperature.Cultivar differences were significant mainly in leaf area and dry matter production at flowering.

Cotyledon Expansion

Low temperature or low light intensity following germination of Pinusresinosa seeds greatly suppressed subsequent seedling development, with cotyledon expansion inhibited more than root expansion. A strong influence of shoot environment early in ontogeny was demonstrated on initiation of all but a few early-formed primary needle primordia and on expansion of all primary needles, including those formed early. Low temperatures or low light intensities during the cotyledon stage of development prevented initiation of most of the normal complement of primary needles. However, when seedlings were placed in a favorable environment following prolonged exposure to low temperature or low light intensity, primordia of primary needles formed readily and subsequently expanded. Following seed germination, the young seedling is a system of competing carbohydrate sinks. Early development of the seedling is an integrated continuum with the source of growth requirements shifting during ontogeny, from megagametophytes to cotyledons, to primary needles, to secondary needles. The importance of cotyledons and primary needles to early seedling development is emphasized.

Before And After

Corn(Zea maysL.) in the two to three-leaf stage grown 18 to 21 days in a growth chamber under cold, wet conditions was injured by postemergence application of 2-chloro-4-(ethylamino)-6-(isopropylamino)-s-triazine (atrazine) plus emulsifiable phytobland oil. Injury was most severe when these plants were kept under cold, wet conditions for 48 hr after the herbicidal spray was applied, followed by exposure to high light intensity and high temperature. Under these growth chamber conditions, approximately 50% of the atrazine-treated plants died. Since wet foliage before and after application increased foliar penetration and low temperature decreased the rate of detoxication to peptide conjugates, atrazine accumulated under cold, wet conditions. This accumulation of foliarly-absorbed atrazine and the “weakened” conditions of the plants grown under the stress conditions is believed to be responsible for the injury to corn. Hydroxylation and the dihydroxybenzoxazin-3-one content in the roots were reduced at low temperature, but it is unlikely that this contributed to the death of the corn.

Experiments in controlled-environment chambers indicated that high temperature, 30 C, increased the phytotoxicity of bromoxynil (3,5-dibromo-4-hydroxybenzonitrile) to wild mustard (Sinapis arvensisL. # SINAR) and redroot pigweed (Amaranthus retroflexusL. # AMARE) compared to low temperature, 10 C, during and after treatment. Bromoxynil phytotoxicity generally was higher at relative humidities of 90 to 95% compared to 40 to 60%, but relative humidity had less influence on bromoxynil phytotoxicity than did temperature. A simulated rain immediately after bromoxynil treatment reduced control of both species, but the reduction was of no practical importance for wild mustard. The data indicate that wild mustard and redroot pigweed control would be reduced by bromoxynil application during a period of low temperatures or to plants in advanced growth stages.

Sugar Beets

During the summer of 1942 sugar beets growing in an experimental plot at the Harrow laboratory were destroyed by a root rot of a type that apparently has been reported only once previously on this host in North America. Wilting of the foliage first attracts attention to affected plants, the roots of which show, externally, grayish-brown discoloured areas and, internally, fairly sharply-delimited, grayish to coffee-coloured lesions, affected tissues being more or less spongy in consistency. The causal organism, found to be a wound parasite, has been identified as Rhizopus arrhizus Fischer. The effect of temperature on the growth in culture and on the pathogenicity of this fungus and of representatives of the species, R. oryzae and R. nigricans, has been studied. It has been found that R. arrhizus and R. oryzae are relatively high temperature organisms, showing optimum growth at about 34° to 36 °C., and each capable of infecting and destroying artificially injured sugar beets most rapidly between 30° and 40 °C. R. nigricans, also a wound parasite is, on the other hand, a relatively low temperature organism showing optimum growth in culture at about 24° and displaying highest infection capability at about 14° to 16 °C.

The influence of temperature on crater formation and ejecta composition in thick aluminum alloy targets were investigated for impact velocities ranging from approximately 1.5 to 3.5 km/s using a two-stage light-gas gun. The diameter and depth of the crater increased with increasing temperature. The ejecta size at low temperature was slightly smaller than that at high temperature and room temperature. Temperature did not affect the size ratio of ejecta. The scatter diameter of the ejecta at high temperature was slightly smaller than those at low and room temperatures.

AbstractPZT films were etched in an ECR microwave reactor with RF polarization.The etch rate was evaluated using various gas mixtures including combinations of two of the following: C12, NF3, SF6 and HBr. The etch rate was measured as a function of the percentage of one gas in the mixture. Other parameters investigated included gas pressure, bias voltage on the electrode and substrate temperature.Results of the effect of temperature show that etch rates are higher on high temperature substrates than on low temperature substrates. A mixture of C12 and SF2 provided a PZT etch rate of 750 Å / min on a substrate, at approximately 100 °C. We evaluated the resultant etch profile and surface roughness

Rice (Oryza sativa L.) is mainly grouped into indica and japonica varieties. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of temperature on cooked rice elongation, cooked rice expansion, and rice fragrance. This study was conducted in three growth temperature chambers with indica cultivar Basmati 385 (B385) and japonica cultivar Yunjingyou (YJY). Grains of B385 grown in low-temperature regimes had the highest cooked rice elongation and expansion, whereas the grains of YJY grown in high-temperature regimes had the highest cooked rice elongation and expansion. Starch granules of B385 grown in low-temperature regimes were more compact and bigger, compared to grains grown in medium- and high-temperature regimes. Conversely, the starch granules of YJY grown in high-temperature regimes were more compact and bigger, compared to those grown in medium- and low-temperature regimes. Metabolomic analyses showed that temperature affected the rice metabolome and revealed that cyclohexanol could be responsible for the differences observed in cooked rice elongation and expansion percentage. However, in both B385 and YJY, grains from low-temperature regimes had the highest 2-AP content and the lowest expression levels of the badh2 gene. The findings of this study will be useful to rice breeders and producers.

Shoot morphological characteristics are important determinants of turf quality in creeping bentgrass. The objectives of this research were to determine differences for tiller and stolon characteristics among creeping bentgrass cultivars and germplasms and compare these characteristics between seedlings and established turf. Two experiments involving 10 and 15 entries were grown in controlled environment chambers and harvested as seedlings at 21, 35 and 49 d and 21, 28 and 35 d, respectively. Nine and fifteen creeping bentgrass entries were grown in separate field experiments on sand-based golf greens and core samples were taken for subsequent measurements at 3 yr and 1 yr, respectively. Tiller and stolon measurements included seedling tillers plant−1 in the controlled environment; tillers m−2 on established turf; and leaf number, leaf width, plant height/stolon length, internode length, internode number, and stolon diameter in all experiments. The correlation coefficient for seedling tillers plant−1 at 35 d between the two controlled environment experiments was r = 0.835 and for tiller density between the two field experiments was r = 0.930. There were differences among the creeping bentgrass entries for tiller number (9 7 to 20.2) and internode length (20 to 54 mm) when measured at 35 d and for tiller density (67 to 227 × 103 m−2) in established turf. Correlation coefficients between seedling tillers plant−1 at 35 d and tiller number m−2 in established turf ranged from r = 0 701 to r = 0 826. There was also a high correlation for stolon internode length between seedling and established turf, with r values ranging from r = 0 725 to r = 0.948. These results document differences for tiller and stolon characteristics between creeping bentgrass cultivars and germplasms and indicate the potential for plant improvement of these characteristics in creeping bentgrass using 35-d-old seedlings in a controlled environment.
