An investigation into the analysis of ecdysones and other steroid hormones
Thesis
Poole, C. F. (1975). An investigation into the analysis of ecdysones and other steroid hormones

As an aid to the analysis of ecdysones (arthropod moulting hormones), an investigation has been carried out to find an efficient and sensitive method for determining them by chromatography. A series of fluorocarbonsilanes were synthesized and tested... Read More about An investigation into the analysis of ecdysones and other steroid hormones.

Studies on the cuticle and epidermal secretory cells of lumbricid and enchytraeid oligochaetes
Thesis
Richards, K. S. (1975). Studies on the cuticle and epidermal secretory cells of lumbricid and enchytraeid oligochaetes

The histochemistry of the cuticle and epidermal secretory cells of seven lumbricids is recorded and three types of secretory cell delineated. The function of these secretions is discussed and a reassessment of the identity of the so-called albumen ce...

The variation of some leaf phenolics and isozymes in populations of British species of Limonium, and its relation to the breeding system
Thesis
Staines, L. R. (1975). The variation of some leaf phenolics and isozymes in populations of British species of Limonium, and its relation to the breeding system

The three species studied were L. vulgare Mill., L. humile Mill, and L. binervosum (G.E.Sm.) C.E. Salmon. They are self-incompatible, self-compatible and apomictic respectively. Using leaves sampled directly from natural populations of all three spec...
