ALEPPO PINE [PINUS HALEPENSIS MILLER) The three phosphatases purified from roots of Finns halepensis showed very low specificity and low activity against phosphorylated sugars (fructose 6-phosphate, glucose 1-phosphate, glucose 6-phosphate, fructose 1,6-diphosphate). The phenyl-phtaleine phosphates are readily hydrolysed by the phosphatase la, but much less by the phosphatases 3a and 3b. Phosphorus deficiency enhanced the utilization of tripolyphosphate and pyrophosphate, mainly by the phosphatases la and 3a from phosphorus-deficient roots. The phosphatase la hydrolysed phos-phoserine, phosphoethanolamine, phospho-...

Essential oils from Pinus halepensis, Pinus brutia, Pinus pinaster, Pinus pinea, and Cedrus atlantica were tested for molluscicidal activity against Bulinus truncatus. The oil from C. atlantica was found the most active (LC 50 = 0.47 ppm). Among their main constituents, a-pinene, fi pinene.

D-Pinitol (lD-3-O-methyl-cA/ro-inositol) is the most widely distributed inositol ether. It has been found in six gymnosperm families and 13 angiosperm families (137). In gymnosperms, it is a component of the resin of Pinus lamber-tiana (see 137) the bark of Picea abies, Pinus nigra (71), Pinus halepensis, and Schinus molle (72) (where its content has been determined as a function of season) the cambial sap of Pinus silvestris, Picea abies, and Abies alba (114) and the wood of Pinus spp. (see 6, 137) and Sequoia sempervirens (153). It also occurs in various plant parts, including latex and wood Acacia mollissima), of angio-sperms (see 137).

The significance of the A -containing lipids in Norway spruce is of especial interest especially as needles of this species can survive extremely low winter temperatures (-35°C or lower). Less hardy conifers appear to contain lesser amounts of A -containing fatty acids and those that contain hardy any (e.g. Pinus halepensis) show winter injury at temperatures around -10°C. After summer O3 exposures, amounts of A -containing fatty acids are much lower in Norway spruce.

Finally, the already mentioned investigations on the Mediterranean pine Pinus halepensis shall be cited again in which commercial cellulose as a model compound for studies of forest fuel pyrolysis, pine needles, pine needle lignin and extractives were analyzed with and without two ammonium salts as fire retardants [46]. Both salts provoked a lowered pyrolysis temperature of cellulose and a significant increase in char formation for cellulose (up to 2.4 times) and intact needles (up to 1.7 times), but they had negligible effects on lignin and extractives.
