3H-l-Phenylalanine is incorporated into a range of phenylpropanoid compounds when fed to tobacco cell cultures. A significant proportion of (3)H-trans-cinnamic acid formed from (3)H-l-phenylalanine did not equilibrate with exogenous trans-cinnamic acid and therefore may be rapidly channeled through the cinnamate 4-hydroxylase (C4H) reaction to 4-coumaric acid. Such compartmentalization of trans...

We extend our analysis of the three-dimensional response of a vertically polytropic disk to tidal forcing at Lindblad resonances by including the effects of a disk atmosphere. The atmosphere is modeled as an isothermal layer that joins smoothly on to an underlying polytropic layer. The launched wave progressively enters the atmosphere as it propagates away from the resonance. The wave never pro...
