烟草未授粉子房胚状体诱导的研究

对烟草（Ｎｉｃｏｔｉａｎａ ｔａｂａｃｕｍ Ｌ．）未授粉子房胚状体的诱导进行了研究,结果发现,胚状体是单细胞起源,起源于大孢子或卵细胞,接种发育早期的子房,胚状体起源于大孢子;接种发育晚期的子房,胚状体起源于卵细胞;接种发育中期的子种,胚状多起源于大孢子,少数起源于卵细胞,不同的基因型,蔗糖浓度及光照强度等对胚状体诱导率的影响亦有不同。     

枸杞悬浮培养条件下的胚状体发生

在MS培养基上诱导宁夏枸杞下胚轴切段形成愈伤组织,并进行细胞悬浮培养。观察了悬浮培养条件下胚状体的发生过程。<1>观察发现,细胞经悬浮培养几天以后,先形成胚性细胞团,再有胚性细胞团块形成一个或几个胚状体。较大的胚状体也可以形成新的次生胚状体。<1>影响胚状体形成的关键因素是激素的种类及其含量。实验采用的基本培养基为MS,比较适宜胚状体发生的激素是0.2mg/L 2,4-D。同样浓度的2,4-D,会抑制胚状体的进一步发育,用0.2mg/L6-BA代替2,4-D, 则胚状体可以进一步发育并形成小植株。     

大麦未授粉子房培养的胚胎学观察

金花茶子叶在离体培养中胚状体的发生和小植株的形成

研究了金花茶(Camellia chrysantha(Hu)Tuyama)子叶在离体培养中体细胞胚状体发生的条件。在MS基本培养基中附加苄基嘌呤(BA)或苄基嘌呤与萘乙酸(NAA)组合,诱导了胚状体发生。组织学观察表明,胚状体起源于子叶的表皮细胞。在增添细胞分裂素和生长素的MS或改良B_5液体培养基里振荡培养,明显地促进了胚状体根的生长和茎的发育。胚状体在继代培养中能保持旺盛的再生能力。已得到两个繁殖率较高的胚状体无性系。在合适的条件下,胚状体能长成正常的小植株。     

辣椒花药培养胚状体发生的组织学和细胞学研究

采用荧光显微镜、扫描电镜和透射电镜技术．系统研究了辣椒花药培养胚状体发生的组织学和细胞学变化特征。辣椒单个花药中花粉发育具有强烈的不同步性。随着培养时期的变化．不同时期花粉的百分率也发生变化。处于单核靠边期的小孢子培养以后按两种发育途径之一进行发育。在多数情况下,孢子体不对称分裂,产生典型双核花粉。胚性花粉粒是由营养核的重复分裂形成的。当小孢子从四分体中释放出来．特殊类型的外壁已经形成。在随后的花粉发育过程中．小孢子体积增大,外壁继续加厚。培养24h后,小孢子体积增大。胚性发生的小孢子表现出两种不同的形态变化。当胚状体发育到心形胚时．胚状体的表皮细胞排列规则。用光学和电子显微镜分析了小孢子胚状体形态形成过程．及胚状体诱导后细胞组织发生的一系列结构变化的时序性特征,这些变化主要影响质体、液泡室、细胞壁和细胞核,进一步分化的程序模拟合子胚的发育。     

黑穗醋栗(Ribes nigrum L.)未受精胚珠培养诱导体细胞胚状体和植株再生的研究

本文报告了黑穗醋栗(Ribes nigrum L.)三个栽培品种中的薄皮黑豆未受精胚珠(花粉发育到单核晚期)在MS基本培养基附加植物激素BA,2.4-D和GA_3中形成了体细胞胚状体。长度约为0.5—1.0cm大小的胚状体在生根培养基中可以形成完整的再生植株。经过筛选得到了体细胞胚性愈伤组织无性系,继代培养二年多仍能保持胚状体形成能力。试验结果表明:诱导体细胞胚胎发生受品种和接种时期的影响,适宜的接种时期为花粉发育到单核晚期。培养基中的BA为诱导胚胎发生和保持胚性愈伤组织无性系所必需。     

离体培养下大豆体细胞胚胎发生的组织学研究

大豆胚状体可以直接从未成熟的子叶表皮及表皮下面1—3层细胞发生。这些细胞经过脱分化后,首先形成细胞质浓厚、核大的胚的发生细胞,胚发生细胞再分裂形成胚性细胞团,胚性细胞团再继续分裂形成胚状体。胚状体的发育过程和合子胚一样,经过球形、心形,鱼雷期和子叶期等诸阶段发育成小植株。此外,在诱导胚状体发生过程中,还观察到另一值得注意的现象:在未成熟胚的子叶表皮下面1至较深处的数层细胞,也转变成分生状细胞团,这些分生状细胞团呈不规则状,从其起源看,可称它们为内生“胚状体”,这些内生“胚状体”培养至20天,即停止生长发育。

桉树愈伤组织胚状体的发生(简报)

植物组织培养已成为一种非常有用的研究手段,据1978年资料统计,在组织培养中具有胚状体分化能力的种子植物已达34科,75属,117种(朱澂 1978)。这说明胚状体发生的普遍性。在多年生的木本植物中,诱导出胚状体的材料也已不少。由于胚状体的结构完整,分化频率高,繁殖系数大,成苗速度快,有利于胚状体发生和发育规律的研究。桉树为世界木材产量最多的三个树种之一。为使桉苗快速繁育,国内外正开展桉树组培的研究工作,但现尚未见出现胚状体的报导。早在1965年,Sussex由赤桉实生苗外植体获得了愈伤组织。Aneja等(1969)由柠檬桉木质块茎的愈伤组织诱导出小植株。Kitahara

Recent advances in the study of Kaposi's sarcoma-associated herpesvirus replication and pathogenesis

It has now been over twenty years since a novel herpesviral genome was identified in Kaposi's sarcoma biopsies. Since then, the cumulative research effort by molecular biologists, virologists, clinicians, and epidemiologists alike has led to the extensive characterization of this tumor virus, Kaposi's sarcoma-associated herpesvirus(KSHV; also known as human herpesvirus 8(HHV-8)), and its associated diseases. Here we review the current knowledge of KSHV biology and pathogenesis, with a particular emphasis on new and exciting advances in the field of epigenetics. We also discuss the development and practicality of various cell culture and animal model systems to study KSHV replication and pathogenesis.     

A Unique Protease Cleavage Site Predicted in the Spike Protein of the Novel Pneumonia Coronavirus (2019-nCoV) Potentially Related to Viral Transmissibility

正Dear Editor,In December 2019, a novel human coronavirus caused an epidemic of severe pneumonia(Coronavirus Disease 2019,COVID-19) in Wuhan, Hubei, China(Wu et al. 2020; Zhu et al. 2020). So far, this virus has spread to all areas of China and even to other countries. The epidemic has caused 67,102 confirmed infections with 1526 fatal cases     

Curcuminoids as inhibitors of thioredoxin reductase: A receptor based pharmacophore study with distance mapping of the active site

Curcumin is the yellow pigment of turmeric that interacts irreversibly forming an adduct with thioredoxin reductase (TrxR), an enzyme responsible for redox control of cell and defence against oxidative stress. Docking at both the active sites of TrxR was performed to compare the potency of three naturally occurring curcuminoids, namely curcumin, demethoxy curcumin and bis-demethoxy curcumin. Results show that active sites of TrxR occur at the junction of E and F chains. Volume and area of both cavities is predicted. It has been concluded by distance mapping of the most active conformations that Se atom of catalytic residue SeCYS498, is at a distance of 3.56 from C13 of demethoxy curcumin at the E chain active site, whereas C13 carbon atom forms adduct with Se atom of SeCys 498. We report that at least one methoxy group in curcuminoids is necessary for interation with catalytic residues of thioredoxin. Pharmacophore of both active sites of the TrxR receptor for curcumin and demethoxy curcumin molecules has been drawn and proposed for design and synthesis of most probable potent antiproliferative synthetic drugs.     

Comparative morphology of the carpel in the Liliaceae: Hewardieae, Petrosavieae, and Tricyrteae

The young pistils in the melanthioid tribes, Hewardieae, Petrosavieae and Tricyrteae, are uniformly tricarpellate and syncarpous. They lack raphide idioblasts. All are multiovulate, with bitegmic ovules. The Petrosavieae are marked by the presence of septal glands and incomplete syncarpy. Tepals and stamens adhere to the ovary in the Hewardieae and the Petrosavieae but not in the Tricyrteae. Two vascular bundles occur in the stamens of the Hewartlieae and Tricyrtis latifolia. Ventral bundles in the upper part of the ovary of the Hewardieae are continuous with compound septal bundles and placental bundles in the lower part. Putative ventral bundles occur in the alternate position in the Tricyrteae and putative placental bundles in the opposite. position in the Petrosavieae. The dichtomously branched stigma in each carpel of the Tricyrteae is supplied by a bifurcated dorsal bundle.     

Synthesis and antimicrobial studies of hydrazone derivatives of 4-[3-(2,4-difluorophenyl)-4-formyl-1H-pyrazol-1-yl]benzoic acid and 4-[3-(3,4-difluorophenyl)-4-formyl-1H-pyrazol-1-yl]benzoic acid

Microbial resistance to antibiotics is an unresolved global concern, which needs urgent and coordinated action. One of the guidelines of the Centers for Disease Control and Preventions (CDC) to combat antibiotic resistance is the development of new antibiotics to treat drug-resistant bacteria. In our effort to find new antibiotics, we report the synthesis and antimicrobial studies of 30 new pyrazole derivatives. These novel molecules have been synthesized by using readily available starting materials and benign reaction conditions. Some of these molecules have shown activity with MIC values as low as 0.78?µg/mL against four bacterial strains; Staphylococcus aureus, methicillin-resistant S. aureus, Bacillus subtilis, and Acinetobacter baumannii. Furthermore, active molecules are non-toxic to mammalian cell line.

     

Novel compounds with potent CDK9 inhibitory activity for the treatment of myeloma

Cyclin-dependent kinases (CDKs) and Polo-like kinases (PLKs) play key role in the regulation of the cell cycle. The aim of our study was originally the further development of our recently discovered polo-like kinase 1 (PLK1) inhibitors. A series of new 2,4-disubstituted pyrimidine derivatives were synthesized around the original hit, but their PLK1 inhibitory activity was very poor. However the novel compounds showed nanomolar CDK9 inhibitory activity and very good antiproliferative effect on multiple myeloma cell lines (RPMI-8226).
