Using the swimbladder of the crusian carp (Carrasius auratus) as an inductor, the first appearance of mesodermal competence in the presumptive ectoderm of the newt (Triturus pyrrhogaster) blastula was investigated. The time course of embryonic development before the gastrula stage was determined by counting the number of surface cells on a 0.25 mm line at the animal pole. Pregastrula embryos with 2–3, 4–5, 6–7 and 7–8 cells roughly correspond to those at 14, 14–12, 8–6 and 4–0 hr before the beginning of gastrulation. Using presumptive ectoderm of the early gastrula stage, 15 min was found to be the minimum time of contact necessary for the realization of induction. The reactivity of the presumptive ectoderm from pregastrula embryos was tested by 30 min contact. Presumptive ectoderm up to the 4–5 cell stage did not react to the inductor. It may become competent within the next 4–8 hr, since the ectoderm from embryos in the 6–7 cell stage was reactive.
Spectrophotometric and e.s.r. analyses have been carried out on the mixed-chelate complex formation equilibrium [Cu(acac)where acac = acetylacetonate. The equilibrium constant in non-aqueous solution is found to decrease with increasing dielectric constant of the solvent. The results are analyzed in terms of an electrostatic model in which each complex molecule is assumed t o be in a cavity surrounded by uniform solvent .
Die Bildungskonstante für den Titelkomplex aus Bis‐[acetylacetonatol‐ und Bis‐[diethyldithiocarbamatol‐kupfer wurde in verschiedenen Lösungsmitteln (CCl4, C5116, Toluol, Chlorbenzol, CH2Cl2, o‐Dichlorbenzol, MezCO, MeOH, MeCN) spektrophotometrisch bestimmt.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
