Sugarcane leaf shows the classical arrangement of cells, which defines a C4 species. Vascular bundles consist of xylem, phloem and fibres, surrounded by an outer layer ofsclereids and an inner ring of stone cells associated with the phloem. Some sclereids located below and above the vascular bundles act as docking cells and connect the vascular bundle to the internal surfaces of upper and lower layers of the epidermis. A compact mass ofsclereids occupies the total internal volume of the leaf edge. Neither docking cells nor the internal mass of sclereids in the edge were markedly coloured by phloroglucinol, indicating the absence of lignin in their cell walls. However, such staining indicated that fibres of the vascular bundle and the external layer of sclereids were strongly lignified. Incubation of leaf discs with an virulence factors produced by the pathogen Sporisorium scitamineum increased the thickness of the lignified cell walls of sclereids as well as the mid and small xylem vessels, as a possible mechanical defence response to the potential entry of the pathogen. This mechanism was mainly revealed for the resistant cv. Mayari 55-14, whereas lignification decreased for the susceptible cv. B 42231.

Transforming growth factor beta 1 (TGF-β1) is a key regulator that modulates male reproductive function. Testicular TGF-β1 modulates the steroidogenesis of Leydig cells, the organization of peritubular myoid cells, testis development and spermatogenesis. Several studies have indicated that TGF-β1 is involved in the tight balance between proliferative and apoptotic responses in the Leydig cells. In the present review, we summarize the direct effects of this cytokine in Leydig cells under normal and pathological conditions. We analyze the effect of TGF-β1 inLeydig cells depending on the type of receptors involved in the signaling pathway of TGF-β1. Our group has been analyzing the canonical and non canonical intracellular signaling pathways of TGF-β1 that are involved in the expression of proliferative and apoptotic markers in Leydig cells. On the basis of our studies and from those of other authors we conclude that the balance between the expression of TGF-β1 receptors and co receptors is of relevance in Leydig cell physiology and pathophisiology.

Leaf discs of five cultivars of sugarcane exhibiting different degree of susceptibility to leaf scald were used to measure β-1,3 glucanase activity before and after experimental infection with Xanthomonas albilineans. Leaf discs were permeabilized with iso-propanol to facilitate the uptake of the enzyme substrate by intact tissues and to improve the enzyme assay. Bacterial infection significantly enhances β-1,3 glucanase activity of sensitive cultivars whereas significantly decreased that of the resistant one. Low concentrations of salicylate increase the hydrolase activity whereas jasmonic acid do not act as an elicitor of the enzyme and β-1,3 glucanase, such as laminarin, significantly inhibits the production of β-1,3 glucanase. Thus, the enzyme must be considered as a sensitivity factor induced by the pathogen.

The paper presents a polycrystalline GaN thin film with a hexagonal wurtzite structure under the optimized sputtering conditions of 40 W RF power, 5 mT working pressure, using pure nitrogen gas with a substrate temperature of 700°C. The study examines the effects of surface disorders and incorporates it in the thin films characteristics. A radio frequency (RF) Ultra High Vacuum (UHV) Magnetron Sputtering System has been used for the deposition of Gallium Nitride (GaN) on silicon, sapphire and glass substrates with different parameters. The power is varied from 40 W to 50 W, and the pressure from 4 mT to 15 mT. The effects of the RF sputtering powers and gas pressures on the structural properties are investigated experimentally. Sputtering at a lower RF power of 15 W does increase the N atomic percentage, however the deposition rate is substantially slower and the films are amorphous. GaN deposited on both silicon and sapphire wafer resulted in thin films close to stoichiometric once the N2 concentration is 60% or higher. It is also observed that the substrate cooling/heating effects improve the quality of the thin films with fewer defects present at the surface of the GaN epi-structure.
