中国部分野生百合自交和组内及组间杂交亲和性研究

以百合属(Lilium)4个组13种野生百合为试验材料,配置80个杂交组合,分析中国野生百合自交、组内及组间杂交的亲和性.采用延迟授粉和切割柱头两种授粉方式和胚拯救技术,以克服受精前、后的障碍,提高育种效率.结果显示:百合自交亲和性存在一定差异,大花卷丹(L.leichtlinii)和兰州百合(L.davidi‘ unicdor cotton')自交不亲和;卷瓣组组内杂交在所配置的杂交组合中,仅有3个组合[垂花百合(L.c ernuum)×细叶百合(L.pumilum)、兰州百合×垂花百合以及兰州百合×大花卷丹]通过延迟授粉获得杂交胚,并通过组培获得杂交苗;卷瓣组与钟花组组间杂交亲和性较好.研究表明,对于大多数的杂交组合,延迟授粉比切割柱头对克服受精前障碍有效;而对于绝大多数的自交和杂交组合,组培能有效克服受精后障碍,并获得子一代苗.     

21种野生百合亲缘关系的ISSR分析

该研究选用7条ISSR标记引物对百合属21种野生百合的亲缘关系进行分析,使用POPGEN1.32和MEGA5.1数据处理软件分析数据。结果表明：7条引物扩增出149条条带,其中136条为多态性条带,多态性条带比率为91.06％,平均有效等位点数为1.7624,平均Nei’ s基因多样度为0.4214,平均Shanon信息指数0.6085。遗传距离变化范围为0.3075~0.8873,紫脊百合和尖被百合的遗传距离最大,均值为0.8873,表明21份材料中二者亲缘关系最远;紫脊百合和宜昌百合遗传距离最小,均值为0.3075,表明二者亲缘关系最近。聚类结果与形态学分类大致吻合,21个供试材料可被分成5个类群,大理百合、宝兴百合、卷丹百合、紫斑百合、乳头百合、川百合、兰州百合、山丹百合、绿花百合和毛百合为第Ⅰ类群;紫脊百合、宜昌百合、岷江百合、通江百合和淡黄花百合为第Ⅱ类群;野百合和百合为第Ⅲ类群;青岛百合为第Ⅳ类群;第Ⅴ类群包括玫红百合、有斑百合和尖被百合。毛百合与卷瓣组百合亲缘关系较近,钟花组百合与卷瓣组百合存在基因交流,说明不能仅仅依靠形态学对野生百合进行分类。聚类分析结果中野百合与百合单独聚为一类,这说明是否具叶柄对野生百合的分类是一个重要的形态学特性。 ISSR分子标记适合用于百合属植物的亲缘关系分析。     

光照和温度对百合属6种植物种子萌发的影响

对不同光照和温度条件对条叶百合（Lilium callosum Sieb.et Zucc.)、大花卷丹[L. leichtlinii Hook.f var.maximowicaii(Regel)Baker]、有斑百合[L.concolor Salisb.var.pulchellum(Fisch.)Regel]、川百合[L.davidii Duchartre)、毛百合（L. dauricum Ker-Gawl.)和东北百合（L.distichum Nakai)种子萌发的影响进行了研究。结果表明：光照对有斑百合、川百合和毛百合种子萌发有明显促进作用,可缩短种子萌发时间,提高种子萌发率。24h光照下种子萌发完全所需天数比12h光照少,种子萌发率以24h光照最佳。避光条件下温度对大花卷丹、有斑百合、毛百合、川百合及东北百合种子萌发率和萌发速度有影响,对条叶百合种子影响最大,其种子萌发最适温度为20℃,5～6d开始萌动,2～3周萌发完全,随着温度的升高或降低其种子萌发率下降。光照条件下,变温对种子萌发影响不明显。子叶留土类型的毛百合种子有二次休眼现象,9000lx光照能代替低温解除二次休眼。经不同前处理的百合种子萌发率和萌发速度不同。

中国野生百合叶表皮特征及系统学意义

利用光学显微镜和扫描电镜对20个野生百合种或变种的叶表皮进行了系统观察和比较分析,结果表明:(1)20种野生百合气孔器均分布于叶片远轴面,气孔器的长轴与远轴面细胞长轴方向一致,均位于远轴面细胞的端点处。气孔器形状从长椭圆形到近圆形不等;保卫细胞均为肾形,无副卫细胞,保卫细胞表面角质层均具条纹;表皮细胞角质层近于光滑或具条纹,均具蜡质,蜡质纹饰呈膜片状晶体或颗粒状;气孔密度、气孔器大小、近轴面远轴面细胞、垂周壁样式差异较大。(2)聚类分析表明,兰州百合、川百合、卷丹百合、紫斑百合、乳头百合、宝兴百合、山丹百合、大理百合、绿花百合、毛百合和有斑百合聚为类群Ⅰ;淡黄花百合、岷江百合和玫红百合3个野生种聚为类群Ⅱ;青岛百合单独为类群Ⅲ;宜昌百合、紫脊百合、通江百合、百合和野百合聚为类群Ⅳ,聚类结果总体上支持形态学分类的结果。(3)叶表皮形态对于区分野生百合不同种具有重要的分类学价值。     

毛百合繁殖生物学研究——Ⅰ 毛百合的自然生长与繁殖

本文对产于东北地区的毛百合进行了自然状况下的生长与繁殖研究。结果发现在不同的生境下毛百合的生长发育有三种类型,即生长旺盛类型;可完成生活史,但生长受到一定限制类型;不能完成生活史,只能营养生长类型。 在毛百合完成其生活史的转化中光是一个重要限制因子。在全光的46.6％的生境中毛百合尚能大部向成株转化,并开花结果完成生活史,而在相对光照为15.6％的林下,毛百合转化为成株的概率很少。 由于长期适应环境的结果,毛百合具有两种繁殖对策,一是在全光下或不低于相对光照的46％的生境下,有性与无性繁殖同时进行;而在低于相对光照的15％以下时,除个别光强处外,毛百合主要以鳞茎繁殖和生长,一旦林地受干扰后,则马上开花结实,营有性繁殖。

三倍体观赏百合与二倍体食用龙牙百合的杂交分析

为探讨异源三倍体百合与龙牙百合(BB)的杂交亲和性,实现观赏百合与食用百合的种质融合与创新,该研究以三倍体百合Triumphator(LLO)作母本,龙牙百合为父本,采用常规授粉与切柱头授粉,利用基因组荧光原位杂交(GISH)技术分析母本及子代的基因组成。结果显示:(1)通过常规授粉和切柱头授粉共获得17个发育良好的果实,通过胚抢救共获得了40株幼苗,且常规授粉的出苗率明显比切柱头授粉的高。(2)对随机选取的8个子代进行GISH分析,所鉴定的后代均为非整倍体,染色体数目为26～32条,其中东方百合基因组(O)染色体数目为2～8条,铁炮百合(L)与龙牙百合(B)基因组染色体始终为24条。(3)通过GISH技术无法区分铁炮百合与龙牙百合的染色体,亲本与子代均无重组现象。研究表明,龙牙百合与铁炮百合亲缘关系较近,龙牙百合作父本与三倍体百合Triumphator杂交可获得非整倍体,实现了观赏百合与食用百合的种质融合,为培育赏食兼用百合奠定了基础。     

小报春与岩生报春种间杂交亲和性研究

以报春花属报春花组的小报春(Primula forbesii)和指叶报春组的岩生报春(Primula saxatilis)为亲本,对种间杂交的结实性及花粉管行为进行了观察。结果表明:小报春与岩生报春种间杂交表现为不亲和,正反交组合正常结实率为0,但正交、反交组合花粉在柱头表面的萌发和花粉管伸长过程有明显差异,小报春花粉授粉4h后可以在岩生报春柱头表面萌发,但花粉管伸长的速度明显比对照组[岩生报春(P)×岩生报春(T)、岩生报春(T)×岩生报春(P)]慢,并且花粉管生长弯曲,授粉192h后花粉管仍未到达子房;岩生报春的花粉可以在小报春柱头上正常萌发,授粉48h后花粉管到达子房;4个对照授粉组合均分别于24h(短花柱为母本)、48h(长花柱为母本)时完成受精过程。研究表明,岩生报春×小报春杂交存在受精前障碍,小报春×岩生报春杂交亲和性较好,并可通过幼胚拯救的方法获得组间杂种后代;花柱长度可能是影响种间杂交结实能力的因素之一。     

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.     

The structure, reproduction and taxonomy of Vidalia and Osmundaria (Rhodophyta, Rhodomelaceae)

Comprises species occurring mostly in subtidal habitats in tropical, subtropical and warm-temperate areas of the world. An analysis of the type species, V. spiralis (Sonder) Lamouroux ex J. Agardh, a species from Australia, establishes basic characters for distinguishing species in the genus. These characters are (1) branching patterns of thalli, (2) flat blades that may be spiralled on their axis, (3) width of the blade, (4) primary or secondary derivation of sterile and fertile branchlets and (5) position of sterile and fertile branchlets on the thalli. Application of the latter two characters provides an important basic method for separation of species into three major groups. Osmundaria , a genus known only in southern Australia, was studied in relation to Vidalia , and its separation from the Vidalia assemblage is not accepted. Species of Vidalia therefore are transferred to the older genus name, Osmundaria. Two new species, Osmundaria papenfussii and Osmundaria oliveae are described from Natal. Confusion in the usage of the epithet, Vidalia fimbriala Brown ex Turner has been clarified, and Vidalia gregaria Falkenberg, described as an epiphyte on Osmundaria pro/ifera Lamouroux, is revealed to be young branches of the host, Osmundaria prolifera.     

New or rare chromosome counts in Artemisia L. (Asteraceae, Anthemideae) and related genera from Kazakhstan

Fifteen chromosome counts of six Artemisia taxa and one species of each of the genera Brachanthemum, Hippolytia, Kaschgaria, Lepidolopsis and Turaniphytum are reported from Kazakhstan. Three of them are new reports, two are not consistent with previous counts and the remainder are confirmations of very scarce (one to four) earlier records. All the populations studied have the same basic chromosome number, x = 9, with ploidy levels ranging from 2x to 6x. Some correlations between ploidy level, morphological characters and distribution are noted.
