An approximately 15,000-year record of El Nino-driven alluviation in southwestern ecuador

Debris flows have deposited inorganic laminae in an alpine lake that is 75 kilometers east of the Pacific Ocean, in Ecuador. These storm-induced events were dated by radiocarbon, and the age of laminae that are less than 200 years old matches the historic record of El Nino events. From about 15,000 to about 7000 calendar years before the present, the periodicity of clastic deposition is greater than or equal to 15 years; thereafter, there is a progressive increase in frequency to periodicities of 2 to 8.5 years. This is the modern El Nino periodicity, which was established about 5000 calendar years before the present. This may reflect the onset of a steeper zonal sea surface temperature gradient, which was driven by enhanced trade winds.     

Effects of temperature and concentration of the accelerators ethoxylated alcohols,diethyl suberate and tributyl phosphate on the mobility of [14C]2,4‐dichlorophenoxy butyric acid in plant cuticles

Intrinsic activities of monodisperse ethoxylated dodecanols (MEDs), diethyl suberate (DESU) and tributyl phosphate (TBP) were investigated using Stephanotis floribunda leaf cuticular membranes (CMs) and [¹⁴C]2,4‐dichlorophenoxy butyric acid (2,4‐DB) as a model solute. When sorbed in cuticular membranes, MEDs, DESU and TBP increase solute mobility and are called accelerators for this reason. With MEDs, dose‐effect curves (log mobility vs accelerator concentration) were linear but, with DESU and TBP, curves convex to the x axes were obtained that approached a maximum at 90 and 150 g kg⁻¹, respectively. Accelerators increased the mobility of 2,4‐DB in the CMs by 9‐ to 48‐fold, and effects were larger at lower temperatures (range 15–30 °C). Activation energy for diffusion of 2,4‐DB was 105 kJ mol⁻¹, decreasing with increasing accelerator concentrations to 26 kJ mol⁻¹ with DESU at 90 g kg⁻¹ and 64 kJ mol⁻¹ with TBP at 150 g kg⁻¹. Thus, the intrinsic activity of DESU was much higher than that of TBP, which implies that, for a given effect, less DESU than TBP would be needed. MEDs were also very effective accelerators, lowering activation energies to 36 kJ mol⁻¹. Data are discussed in relation to increasing rates of foliar penetration of active ingredients at low temperatures. © 2001 Society of Chemical Industry     

Liquid chromatography/mass spectrometry and liquid chromatography/nuclear magnetic resonance as complementary analytical techniques for unambiguous identification of polymethoxylated flavones in residues from molecular distillation of orange peel oils (Citrus sinensis)

Liquid chromatography/mass spectrometry and liquid chromatography/nuclear magnetic resonance techniques with ultraviolet/diode array detection were used as complementary analytical tools for the reliable identification of polymethoxylated flavones in residues from molecular distillation of cold-pressed peel oils of Citrus sinensis. After development of a liquid chromatographic separation procedure, the presence of several polymethoxy flavones such as sinensetin, nobiletin, tangeretin, quercetogetin, heptamethoxyflavone, and other derivatives was unambiguously confirmed. In addition, proceranone, an acetylated tetranortriterpenoid with limonoid structure, was identified for the first time in citrus.     

Rates of foliar penetration of chelated Fe(III): role of light, stomata, species, and leaf age

Rates of foliar penetration of Fe(III) chelates of imidodisuccinic acid (IDHA), ligninsulfonic acid (Natrel), and citric acid (ammonium ferric citrate) were studied at 20 degrees C using a leaf disk method. After drying of the donor droplets, the humidity over the donor residues was maintained at 100% because Fe(III) chelates deliquesce only when humidity is higher than 90%. The wetting agent Glucopon 215 CSUP was added at a concentration of 0.2 g L(-1) to all donor solutions. With fully expanded stomatous broad bean leaves, penetration of Fe-IDHA followed first-order kinetics and rate constants of penetration were higher in light (0.073 h(-1)) than in the dark (0.042 h(-1)). Permeability of broad been leaves to CaCl2 was about 8 times higher than to Fe-IDHA. Doubling the Fe-IDHA concentration in the donor from 2.5 to 5 mmol L(-1) decreased rate constants of Fe-IDHA penetration by a factor of 2.2. Adding the silicon surfactant Break Thru S240 at 10 g L(-1) to the donor induced infiltration of open stomata and about 80% of the applied Fe-IDHA penetrated during droplet drying, while with Glucopon 215 CSUP stomatal infiltration was not observed. With broad bean leaves, penetration of Natrel and ammonium ferric citrate also followed first-order kinetics and rate constants were also higher in light than in the dark. Adaxial astomatous surfaces of fully expanded pear, apple, and grapevine leaves were practically impermeable to Fe-IDHA while stomatous abaxial leaf surfaces were permeable, but rate constants of penetration decreased with time and differed greatly among species. Astomatous surfaces of young unfurling grapevine and peach leaves were permeable to Fe-IDHA, but permeability of stomatous surfaces was much higher. The effect of light on permeability of stomatous leaf surfaces is attributed to the presence of aqueous pores in cuticles over guard cells, and it is suggested that permeability of these pores increases as stomata open. Consequences of these results for foliar applications of Fe chelates are discussed.
