柱前衍生反相高效液相色谱法测定马尾松(Pinus massoniana )针叶中γ-氨基丁酸和17种游离氨基酸

建立了自动在线柱前衍生反相高效液相色谱法同时测定γ-氨基丁酸(GABA)和17种游离氨基酸含量的方法.以邻苯二甲醛-9-芴基甲基氯甲酸酯(OPA-FMOC)为衍生试剂进行衍生,Agilent Hypersil AA-ODS-C18色谱柱分离,梯度洗脱,二极管阵列检测器检测,在19min内分离测定了马尾松苗木针叶中GABA 和17种游离氨基酸的含量.该方法测定氨基酸的回收率高于90.1%,精密度和重现性均较好(相对标准偏差为0.21%～2.81%),经测定,发现马尾松被马尾松毛虫取食后,所测18种氨基酸总量明显降低,从418.3μg · g-1降低到310.4μg · g-1鲜重.     

转换寄主对马尾松毛虫生长发育与繁殖的影响

在室内条件下,分别用马尾松针叶(Pinus massoniana Lamb.)、湿地松针叶(Pinus elliottii Engelm)、以及在不同的幼虫龄期从用马尾松针叶转移到用湿地松针叶饲养马尾松毛虫Dendrolimus punctatus Walker,观察转换寄主对马尾松毛虫生长发育与繁殖的影响。结果表明:(1)从用马尾松针叶饲养转换到用湿地松针叶饲养,可显著影响马尾松毛虫生长发育和繁殖参数;而且当在马尾松毛虫幼虫老龄期进行转换寄主饲养比低龄期转换寄主饲养,可显著缩短马尾松毛虫幼虫的发育历期,降低死亡率,同时,可显著增加幼虫体重、蛹重和化蛹率;对食物的营养效应也越强。(2)取食马尾松的松毛虫较取食湿地松的马尾松毛虫发育历期短,死亡率低,幼虫及蛹重增加,产卵量高。结果说明,马尾松毛虫从马尾松转换移到湿地松上取食对其生长发育与繁殖是不利的。     

不同抗性马尾松针叶中营养物质含量与对松突圆蚧抗性关系的判别分析

为了探讨马尾松Pinus massoniana针叶营养物质含量与其对松突圆蚧Hemiberlesia pitysophila Takagi抗性的关系, 选择了不同抗性的10个马尾松家系, 分别测定未受松突圆蚧危害植株与受害植株针叶中可溶性糖、 总糖、 可溶性蛋白、 全N、 游离氨基酸、 粗脂肪等营养物质的含量和总糖/全N等7个指标, 并采用判别分析法分析这7个指标与马尾松家系对松突圆蚧抗性的关系。结果表明：马尾松家系不论是否受松突圆蚧的危害,能明显区别抗性组别的指标都是可溶性蛋白（X₃）、全N（X₄）和游离氨基酸总量（X₇）,随抗性的降低, 它们的含量呈上升趋势, 受害植株中上述3个指标的含量低于未受害植株; 受害后, 各指标变化量中能明显区别抗性组别的是全N（X₄）, 随着植株抗性的降低, 针叶中的可溶性蛋白（X₃）、全N（X₄）和游离氨基酸总量（X₇）的含量变化量减小。据此得出：（1）可溶性蛋白（X₃）、全N（X₄）和游离氨基酸总量（X₇）是与抗性关系最密切的指标, 含量与抗性呈负相关关系,变化量与抗性呈正相关关系;（2）受到危害后, 无论含量或变化量, 7个指标都发生了重要变化, 都表现出与抗性的相关性, 构成了有效判别函数的组成变量;（3）因判别分析方法可以分析各指标的综合作用, 应用该方法分析各营养成分与马尾松对松突圆蚧抗性的关系, 比用方差分析和多重比较方法更有优越性。上述研究结果为抗松突圆蚧马尾松家系的选育及其抗性机理的深入研究, 提供了重要的科学参考价值。     

马尾松毛虫对马尾松和湿地松的选择与适应研究

用马尾松老叶、新叶,湿地松老叶、新叶,当年生马尾松新叶、湿地松新叶和当年生以20％和40％β-蒎烯处理过的马尾松新叶作食料饲养马尾松毛虫。结果表明：马尾松毛虫幼虫在第1代发生期取食马尾松老叶、马尾松新叶、湿地松老叶和湿地松新叶等4种不同质量的食料后,因其食料中10种必需氨基酸含量和挥发性物质β-蒎烯含量的不同,导致幼虫的存活率差异显著。其中,取食马尾松老叶的幼虫成活率最高（44％）,依次为马尾松新叶（32.7％）、湿地松老叶（4％）,而取食湿地松新叶的幼虫全部死亡。通过马尾松针叶增加外援β-蒎烯喂养马尾松毛虫实验,表明增加了外源β-蒎烯的松针饲养的马尾松毛虫幼虫与用同样松针未增加外源β-蒎烯饲养的幼虫相比,死亡率明显提高;松树中β-蒎烯含量的增加与幼虫成活率呈显著负相关。由此,我们阐明了马尾松与湿地松对马尾松毛虫的抗虫机制。     

松墨天牛取食和人为损伤对马尾松针叶部分化学物质含量的影响

为探索松墨天牛Monochamus alternatus Hope与其寄主马尾松相互作用的关系,测定了松墨天牛取食和人为损伤1天、3天、6天、10天和15天后马尾松针叶营养物质和次生代谢物质含量的变化。结果表明： 松墨天牛取食和人为损伤均能引起马尾松针叶可溶性糖和粗多糖含量的下降,但虫害处理使新叶和老叶中可溶性糖降低更多。两种方式处理后10天马尾松新叶和老叶中蛋白质含量降到最低,然后逐渐回升; 相比较而言,虫害处理蛋白质含量降幅更大。松墨天牛取食和人为损伤均引起马尾松针叶单宁和黄酮类物质含量的增加,虫害处理的针叶中单宁和黄酮类物质的含量更高。结果提示马尾松对松墨天牛的取食为害具有特殊的应激反应机制。     

马尾松火力楠混交林凋落物动态及其对土壤养分的影响

55年生马尾松火力楠混交林年凋落物总量为6284kg。ha~1,比同龄马尾松纯林增加11.2％,其中叶凋落物量占69.5％.春季马尾松火力楠混交林凋落量占全年总量的32.4％,夏季为19.1％。灌木和草本的年凋落物量在混交林中占凋落总量的3.6％,而在纯林中占18％。和纯林相比,混交林林下土壤养分状况有所改善,土壤有机质含量提高了16.7％。     

昆虫取食和药剂熏蒸对马尾松针叶脱落酸和茉莉酸含量的影响

脱落酸(ABA)和茉莉酸(JA)在诱导植物产生抗逆性过程中具有重要作用.以马尾松为试验材料,用GC/MS检测了马尾松毛虫咬食、外源茉莉酸甲酯(MeJA)熏蒸和萜烯混合物熏蒸处理4 h后,马尾松损伤针叶、相邻姊妹针叶(处理同一轮未受损伤枝条)、系统上枝针叶(处理枝上一轮枝条)和系统下枝针叶(处理枝下一轮枝条)中ABA和JA含量的变化.结果表明,虫害4 h后,马尾松损伤针叶、相邻姊妹针叶、系统上枝针叶和系统下枝针叶的ABA和JA含量均明显升高.用10 μmol·L^-1 MeJA熏蒸和10 μmol·L^-1萜烯混合物熏蒸健康植株后,各部位枝条针叶中ABA和JA含量明显升高.说明ABA和JA是马尾松苗木伤反应信号传导途径中的重要信号分子,参与了马尾松苗木系统抗性的形成过程.     

湖南省冷水江市大嵊山大气污染与马尾松衰亡

 作者对湖南省冷水江市大嵊山大气污染与马尾松衰亡进行了研究,研究结果表明大气综合污染指数在3个研究点上分别为1.00(对照)、1.76和2.23。而以林分密度、林分非衰亡率、针叶长度、针叶干重、马尾松平均高、平均胸径等因子计算出的林分外貌综合得分从173.9下降到143.5和132.5。在一年四季,马尾松针叶中叶绿素含量也是清洁区显著高于污染区,而叶绿素a／b值则是污染区的高,峰值较正常的提前。马尾松在受到大气污染作用后,针叶中营养元素含量呈下降趋势,尤其是氮。根据树干解析发现大气污染对马尾松高生长和胸径生长都具有抑制作用,但并不表现出同步效应,对高生长的抑制有一个滞后现象,时间在2～3年。另外,大气污染对马尾松的结果影响很大,污染区的马尾松单株拥有球果数仅为清洁的25％,用灰色系统理论对马尾松材积与相关影响因子进行关联度分析发现,材积与综合污染指数的倒数有很好的关联性,关联度达到了0.773。     

马尾松诱导化学物质变化的时空动态

研究了受害程度不同的马尾松针叶内诱导化学物质在时间序列上的变化和局部受害后空间序列上的变化。结果发现：受害马尾松针叶内次生代谢物质（单宁、酚类物质）含量随时间的变化而不断上下波动,先增加,后逐渐降低,恢复到原来的水平;营养物质（可溶性糖）含量先降低,后逐渐恢复到原来水平。反映了马尾松受害后的应激反应是一种快速、间断、被调节的过程。危害程度的强调对马尾松诱导化学物质的变化有一定的影响。中度的危害（针叶损失50％）所诱导产生的次生物质最多,轻度（针叶损失25％）或重度（针叶损失75％）的危害所诱导产生的次生代谢物质较低。以7年生（共5个轮枝）的马尾松作为实验材料,对第3轮枝进行剪叶75％,在空间序列上,观察其余各轮枝松针内化学物质的变化。发现第3轮枝受害后马尾松其余各轮针叶内也产生诱导化学物质含量变化,并且因轮枝部位的不同,其诱导产生的变化也不相同。说明松针所产生的诱导化学物质含量的变化是全株性的、异质性的。     

五种提取马尾松基因组DNA方法的比较

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.

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.
