异叶苣苔属(苦苣苔科)的核型研究

本文首次报道了中国特有异叶苣苔属的染色体数目及核型。该属所研究种类的染色体数目均为 2n＝18,染色体长度在2.0µm以上,在尖舌苣苔族所报道的染色体中显示出较原始的性状。尖舌苣苔 族的染色体基数可能是x=9。异叶苣苔属的间期核均为复杂型;前期染色体呈渐变型。核型从对称型 向不对称型的演化主要表现在近中部着丝粒,尤其是近端部着丝粒染色体比例的增大。毕节异叶苣苔 W．bljieensis和峨眉异叶苣苔W．tsiangiana var．wilsonii的核型分别为2n=2m＋8m＋8sm(1sat)和 2n=2m＋8m(1sat)＋8sm(2sat),较为对称。紫红异叶苣苔W．purpurascens和白花异叶苣苔W. tsiangiana var. tsiangiana的核型分别为2n=4m＋6sm＋8st(1sat)和2n=4m＋8sm(2sat)＋6st,比较 特化。河口异叶苣苔W．hekouensis的核型是2n=4m+10sm(1sat)+4st,处于二者之间。峨眉异叶苣 苔和原变种白花异叶苣苔的核型差异较大,在外部形态方面二者之间的性状变异也间断较大。本文建 议将该变种从白花异叶苣苔W．tsiangiana中移出自成一种,并和毕节异叶苣苔近缘。

几种虫草属真菌的学名订正

本文合格发表虫草属两个变型的名称,即Cordyceps militaris f.albina(蛹虫草白化变型)和C.ophioglossoides f.alba(大团囊虫草白化变型),并提出新名称C.shimizui(清水虫草)以代替非法的晚出同名C.chichibuensis Kobayasi & Shimizu,同时也证实C.shanxiensis(山西虫草)的合格发表地位。Cordyceps purpureostramata f.recurvata是一个不合格名称,其模式标定可以从原白中提供的照片得到线索。虫草属下分类单元作者的准确引证和一些种或种下分类单元拉丁名加词的正确拼法也在此作了讨论。     

Reflections on a systematic nomenclature for antimicrobial peptides from the skins of frogs of the family Ranidae

Frogs belonging to the extensive family Ranidae represent a valuable source of antimicrobial peptides with therapeutic potential but there is currently no consistent system of nomenclature to describe these peptides. Terminology based solely on species name does not reflect the evolutionary relationships existing between peptides encoded by orthologous and paralogous genes. On the basis of limited structural similarity, at least 14 well-established peptide families have been identified (brevinin-1, brevinin-2, esculentin-1, esculentin-2, japonicin-1, japonicin-2, nigrocin-2, palustrin-1, palustrin-2, ranacyclin, ranalexin, ranatuerin-1, ranatuerin-2, temporin). It is proposed that terms that are synonymous with these names should no longer be used. Orthologous peptides from different species may be characterized by the initial letter of that species, set in upper case, with paralogs belonging to the same peptide family being assigned letters set in lower case, e.g. brevinin-1Pa, brevinin-1Pb, etc. When two species begin with the same initial letter, two letters may be used, e.g. P for pipiens and PL for palustris. Species names and assignments to genera may be obtained from Amphibian Species of the World Electronic Database, accessible at http://research.amnh.org/herpetology/amphibia/index.php.

Automatic extraction of gene/protein biological functions from biomedical text

MOTIVATION: With the rapid advancement of biomedical science and the development of high-throughput analysis methods, the extraction of various types of information from biomedical text has become critical. Since automatic functional annotations of genes are quite useful for interpreting large amounts of high-throughput data efficiently, the demand for automatic extraction of information related to gene functions from text has been increasing. RESULTS: We have developed a method for automatically extracting the biological process functions of genes/protein/families based on Gene Ontology (GO) from text using a shallow parser and sentence structure analysis techniques. When the gene/protein/family names and their functions are described in ACTOR (doer of action) and OBJECT (receiver of action) relationships, the corresponding GO-IDs are assigned to the genes/proteins/families. The gene/protein/family names are recognized using the gene/protein/family name dictionaries developed by our group. To achieve wide recognition of the gene/protein/family functions, we semi-automatically gather functional terms based on GO using co-occurrence, collocation similarities and rule-based techniques. A preliminary experiment demonstrated that our method has an estimated recall of 54-64% with a precision of 91-94% for actually described functions in abstracts. When applied to the PUBMED, it extracted over 190 000 gene-GO relationships and 150 000 family-GO relationships for major eukaryotes.     

对中国植物名称引入世界语的商榷

<正> 笔者在《世界语词源结构略析》一文中,曾提到中国植物名称引入世界语的问题,将另作论述。本文就是笔者根据近年来对千余种植物名称,就英、日、俄、拉及世界语等语种,进行文献调研,挑选其中约二百个中国常见植物的名称反复考察,发现在大多数资源植物中,几乎有一半属于药用植物。而它们的名称,近年来随着我国科技成果的推广,已经按汉语拼音在世界各国广泛应用,另有部分植物名称早年已为国外引用,至今仍在使用的。尚有部分在学名中有中国或中国某地方名的音译。对于这些植物名称引入世界语的问题,笔者在此提出个人的一些见解。     

Index nominum familiarum plantarum vascularium

A list of 2510 vascular plant family names is provided, valid and not validly published as well as legitimate and not legitimate. Each entry has a full bibliographic reference, nomenclatural status, generic type (when based on a generic name), means of validation, original place of publication for pre-1789 works, isonyms, invalid names proposed prior to a name’s validation, first use of correct orthography (if not given in the original publication), first uses of other orthographic variations, divisional placements of typified names, indication of acceptance in the botanical literature after 1960, and a four-letter abbreviation for the legitimate family name. In addition, nomenclaturally correct, typified names are listed for the ranks of order, superorder, subclass, class, subdivision, division/phylum, and subkingdom (for a total of 753 names), with full bibliographic citations. A similar list of 1569 currently available extant vascular plant family names is also given, of which 960 are considered to be in “current use.” A starting date for all names is assumed to be 4 August 1789 (Jussieu,Generaplantarum). Current difficulties with family nomenclature, and potential changes to bibliographic citations as a result of recently proposed changes to theInternational Code of Botanical Nomenclature, are noted.     

A new milliped of the Genus Chonodesmus,with a proposed reclassification of the family Cryptodesmidae (Diplopoda,Polydesmida)

Chonodemus gervaisi, n. sp., is described from San Agustín, Colombia. The genus Chonodesmus in many ways provides a link between the three nominal families Cryptodesmidae, Pterodesmidae, and Peridontodesmidae, and it is proposed that the three be combined into a single taxon, Cryptodesmidae, with the other two names retained for subordinate groups. A provisional classification of the family is suggested, including generic synonymy, and the new tribes Lampodesmini, Ophrydes‐mini, Dyakryptini, and Trichopeltini are proposed. The family name Otodesmidae is reduced to subfamily rank, and the name Niponiellidae reduced to tribal status. A key is provided for four West African genera of the subfamily Pterodesminae.     

Parents Accidentally Substitute Similar Sounding Sibling Names More Often than Dissimilar Names

When parents select similar sounding names for their children, do they set themselves up for more speech errors in the future? Questionnaire data from 334 respondents suggest that they do. Respondents whose names shared initial or final sounds with a sibling’s reported that their parents accidentally called them by the sibling’s name more often than those without such name overlap. Having a sibling of the same gender, similar appearance, or similar age was also associated with more frequent name substitutions. Almost all other name substitutions by parents involved other family members and over 5% of respondents reported a parent substituting the name of a pet, which suggests a strong role for social and situational cues in retrieving personal names for direct address. To the extent that retrieval cues are shared with other people or animals, other names become available and may substitute for the intended name, particularly when names sound similar.     

与蝉花有关的虫草菌生物多样性的研究I：文献考证

蝉花是我国重要药用真菌,但长期以来其名称特别是学名的使用一直混乱。本文从古代医药典籍记载确认,“蝉花”是历史最久、使用最广的中名,对于其他中名具有优先权。其学名Isaria cicadae系Miquel（1838）根据巴西标本命名,但模式标本已失,原描述文字及插图均极其简单,与蝉花形态差异较大。其有性型迄今未发现,曾先后被认为是小蝉草Ophiocordyceps sobolifera和大蝉草Tolypocladium dujiaolongae (=Cordyceps cicadae Shing)。本文根据文献考证澄清了国内外关于小蝉草和大蝉草的误用,分析了长期以来大量日本文献中的命名混乱对我国认知蝉花的影响,并质疑I. cicadae在中国及其他地区的分布,提出它是一复合种,因此蝉花的分类地位及学名需要进一步研究。
