Effects of exposing rabbits to temperatures 37-50°C on body-core temperature and some blood constituents were investigated. 2. Heat stroke death occurred at or above a critical core-temperature of 43.0°C. 3. Plasma osmolality and levels of glucose, urea and lactate were significantly elevated in hyperthermia. 4. Widespread tissue damage was indicated by increases in plasma activities of glutamate oxaloacetate transaminase (GOT), glutamate pyruvate transaminase (GPT) and creatinine phosphokinase (CPK). 5. The most sensitive indicators of impending heat stroke in heat stressed rabbits were plasma levels of urea, lactate and CPK.

Nodal explants prepared from proliferating shoots of established axenic cultures of four potato cultivars viz Diamant, Alpha, Almera and Agria were used. Explants were incubated on agar solidified (0.8% g) Murashige and Skoog's (MS) medium containing 3% sucrose and supplemented with different concentrations of thiadizuron (TDZ) and benzylaminopurine (BA) alone or in combinations with a-naphthalene acetic acid (NAA).Cultivars studied showed wide variation in their response to the plant growth regulators, best results being obtained for the cultivar Almera. Nodal explants responses to BA and TDZ were cultivar-dependent for number of shoot per explant. The highest number (5.4 shoots/explant) of shoots per explant was obtained for Almera explant cultured on MS medium supplemented with 3.0 mg/l TDZ in combination with 0.1 mg/l NAA. Regene...
