Item Open Access Der Stickstoffhaushalt immergrüner mediterraner Hartlaubblätter(1988) Diamantoglou, Stergos; Kull, UlrichThe seasonal variations of major nitrogenous components (total N, protein N) in sclerophyllous leaves of four mediterranean species - Ceratonia siliqua, Olea europaea var. sylvestris, Pistacia lentiscus and Quercus coccifera - were investigated throughout the whole lifetime of the leaves. The leaf-longevity of the first two species mentioned is about two yars, that of the latter two species is somewhat longer than one year. As reference values the raw fibre content and the total chlorophyll content of the leaves were also measured. The raw fibre content increase during leaf-growth, there-after it remains constant. In the leaves having a lifetime of two years, in the spring of the second year an additional increase, although weak, is observed. The chlorophyll content rises during the leaf growth, then remains unchanged for some time, but begins to decrease early. In the leaves of Ceratonia and Olea the shrinkage is recognized already in the spring of the second year. During the period of senescence, the decrease of chlorophyll a is more distinct than that of chlorophyll b. The total N content in all cases decreases during leaf-growth and then remains constant. In Ceratonia leaves it is reasonably high considering that it is an evergreen species. Rather early the N-content begins to decrease; which is intensified during the last months of the lifetime the leaves. This is due to the well-known export of N-compounds from senescent tissues. In Ceratonia leaves the N-content increases during the first winter; obviously they serve as N-storage organs. The content of protein-N in all species shows essentially the same variations as that of total N. Results of tests carried out in the months of January and August revealed that the proline content in the leaves of all species is higher during the drought period than during the cold period. Using the different reference-values, the variations of N-content during leaf longevity of the four species are discussed in connection with reflections on maintenance costs.Item Open Access Osmotische Verhältnisse und Zuckergehalte im Jahresgang bei Bäumen Ost-Afghanistans. 2, Cercii griffithii und Pistacia cabulica(1972) Kull, Ulrich; Breckle, Siegmar-WalterIn der Kohe Daman-Ebene nördlich von Kabul gibt es einige weitbekannte Standorte von Cercis griffithii. Die Standorte, meist im Geröll oder auf Fels, scheinen in den meisten Fällen nicht grundwasserfern zu sein. Südwestlich von Kabul finden sich an trockenem Felsstandort alte Pistazien mit dicken Stämmen. Diese Relikte können sowohl als Zeiger eines früher wesentlich dichteren Vorkommens und weiterreichender Verbreitung angesehen werden. Die Jahresgänge der osmotischen Verhältnisse wie auch der Brechungsindices des Zellsaftes zeigen in den Blättern dieser beiden sommergrünen Arten Maxima im Spätsommer. Die Speicherkohlenhydrate zeigen in Rinden von Cercis vor allem Saccharose, Glucose und Stärke eine ausgeprägte Jahresperiodik, welche derjenigen von Quercus baloot und der mitteleuropäischer Arten ähnlich ist. Das winterliche Zuckermaximum ist mit einem Auftreten geringer Mengen von Raffinose verknüpft. In den Blättern von Cercis erfolgt mit zunehmendem Blattalter eine Abnahme der Zucker- und Stärkegehalte. Pistacia cabulica weist kein winterliches Maximum des Gesamtzuckergehaltes auf und führt weder Galaktoside noch Fructoside. Rinden und Blätter besitzen Maximalwerte des Zuckergehalts während der sommerlichen Trockenperiode. Die Berechnung des prozentualen Anteils des Gesamtzuckergehaltes am potentiellen osmotischen Druck läßt erkennen, daß die letztgenannte Größe vom Zuckerhaushalt je nach Art mehr oder weniger unabhängig ist.Item Open Access Über den Nachweis von Aminosäuren in Kalksteinen des Weißen Jura der Schwäbischen Alb(1967) Hiller, Karl; Kull, UlrichEs wird über einen erstmaligen, papierchromatographischen Nachweis von Aminosäuren in Kalksteinen des Weißen Jura der Schwäbischen Alb berichtet. In den Kalksteinen der Algen-Schwamm-Riffe treten unterschiedliche Gehalte an Aminosäuren in der vorwiegend anorganisch entstandenen Grundmasse einerseits und in den eng benachbarten, organischen Komponenten (Schwammumien, Kalkkrusten, Stromatolithen) andererseits auf.Item Open Access Effects of abscisic acid on photosynthesis of protoplasts from Petunia hybrida(1974) Hoffmann, Franz; Kull, UlrichProtoplasts from plants are suitable experimental objects for investigations in which substances are taken up by cells, since chemicals can reach the cell surface directly. Therefore, it is convenient to use them for experiments concerned with effects of phytohormones on metabolism. So far, some work on the application of auxins 1-3 has been described, and recently we have made some investigations on the influence of zeatin on photosynthesis and respiration of isolated mesophyll protoplasts from Petunia.Item Open Access Item Open Access Einige ökophysiologische Untersuchungen auf Tenerife (Kanarische Inseln)(1979) Höllwarth, Michael; Kull, UlrichDie Kanarischen Inseln sind ein klassisches Gebiet der Vegetationskunde. Während ihre Flora mittlerweile ziemlich gut bekannt ist, sind bisher nur wenige ökophysiologische Untersuchungen durchgeführt worden. Wir haben an typischen Standorten der charakteristischen Vegetationseinheiten Sukkulentenbusch, Lorbeerwald und Gebirgshalbwüste ("Gebirgssteppe") bei gleicher Großwetterlage (normale Schönwetterperiode am Ende der feuchteren Jahreszeit) die Tagesperiodik der üblichen meteorologischen Größen sowie der wichtigsten physiologischen Parameter von charakteristischen Arten gemessen und die bestehenden Korrelationen ermittelt. Es sollte dann geprüft werden, inwieweit Aussagen über die Konkurrenzfähigkeit von Arten möglich sind. Wobei dem Lorbeerwald besondere Aufmerksamkeit geschenkt wurde.Item Open Access A contribution to the floristics and vegetation of Zanskar (Kashmir)(1985) Seybold, Siegmund; Kull, UlrichSome observations on the vegetation and plant-ecology were made on a journey through Zanskar (part of Jammu and Kashmir state). Trees are growing near water-courses on about 3800m also in the dry southern part of Zanskar; the timberline on both sides of the highest ridge of the Himalayas seems to be situated at about 3800-3900m. Crop plants are grown in southern Zanskar on to about 4000m; they need irrigation. The overgrazing led to a vast extension of Artemisia and Astragalus-Acantholimon vegetation units. The 13 places of plant collection, reaching from 2600m to 4700m, are characterized, and a plant list of collected plants with precise locality data is given.Item Open Access Effects of kinetin on lipid labelling in cell organelles : [abstract](1982) Graf, Josef A.; Horsch, Axel; Kull, Ulrich-Item Open Access Osmotische Verhältnisse und Zuckergehalte im Jahresgang bei Bäumen Ost-Afghanistans. 1, Quercus balout Griffith(1971) Breckle, Siegmar-Walter; Kull, UlrichThe two investigated localities of Quercus balout Griffith located near the western Iimit of the distributional area in the Eastern part of Afghanistan, are characterized in their climate by the meteorological dates of Kabul and Karizimir. The locality near Charikar is located within irrigation land. The other locality at the Latahband-pass is one of the last natural localities of this oak near Kabul. The annual curves of the potential osmotical pressure and of the refractive index of cell sap show, very clearly their highest values during winter time. The contents of sucrose and glucose in leaves and bark show distinct seasonal variations, which are similar to those of middleeuropeans species. The minimum of starch-contents and the maximum of sugars during winter are correlated with the occurence of raffinose in leaves and bark. The relationships in the changes of sugar contents and the osmotical behaviour are discussed. Near the western limit of the distributional area the frost conditions during winter time seem to be the most important ecological factor, more important than drought during summer.Item Open Access Prosomes (proteasomes) of higher plants(1991) Schliephacke, Martin; Kremp, Anette; Schmid, Hans-Peter; Köhler, Kurt; Kull, UlrichFrom different plant tissues such as tobacco (Nicotiana rustica), potato (Solanum tuberosum), and mung bun (Phaseolus radiatus), ring- or cylinder-shaped particles called prosomes wrere isolated by either sucrose gradient centrifugation or fast protein liquid chromatography (FPLC). These particles have a diameter of 12 to 14 nm and a length of 16 to 18 nm. They migrate under conditions of nondenaturing gel electrophoresis as one distinct band. Sedimentation coefficient and buoyant density in Cs 2SO 4. of the plant prosomes were determined by analytical ultracentrifugation to be approximately 23S and 1.23g/cm 3, respectively. The total molecular mass was estimated by gel filtration to be 650 kDa. Plant prosomes are composed of 12 to 15 proteins with molecular masses in the range of 24 to 35 kDa with isoelectric points of pH 5 to 7 as revealed by twodimensional gel electrophoresis. The protein patterns or prosomes from the three different plant species are very similar. Polyclonal antisera against potato prosomes reacted in Western blots with prosomal proteins of all three plant species. They also bind to some prosomal proteins of animal species. Antisera against animal prosomes react with some proteins of plant prosomes. As shown by lectin blotting, plant prosomes .are glycosylated carrying glucosyl- or mannosyl, and N-acetylgalactosaminyl residues. Prosomal preparations contain non-stoichiometric amounts of small RNA of about 80 kDa. These results suggest that plant prosomes are structurally and functionally homologous to prosomes of other eukaryotic cells.
