Suaeda fruticosa (L.) Forssk plants grown in saline conditions (200 to 400 mol m!3 NaCl) had greater fresh and dry weights than those grown in non-saline controls, and 600 to 1000 mol m!3 NaCl inhibited growth. Gibberellic acid and kinetin both alleviated some of the inhibitory effects of salinity at 800 mol m!3 NaCl on shoot growth of S. fruticosa while root growth was promoted by kinetin. Tis...

Pial arterioles on the surface of the mouse brain were observed in vivo under a chamber with a glass window. When placed under the window, calcium ionophore, acetylcholine, and previously acidified sodium nitrite each dilated the arterioles. If the cyclooxygenase inhibitors indomethacin or acetylsalicylic acid were first placed in the chamber, subsequent dilation of the arterioles by calcium io...

In an earlier study connectin, an elastic protein of striated muscle, was found to be associated with "gap filaments" originating from the thick filaments in the myofibril, but it was not clear whether it extends to Z lines or not (Maruyama, K., H. Sawada, S. Kimura, K. Ohashi, H. Higuchi, and Y. Umazume, 1984, J. Cell Biol., 99:1391-1397). In the present immunoelectron microscopic study using ...
