黄瓜花性别分化与内源多胺的关系

研究了黄瓜雌、雄花几个主要发育时期和性别逆转过程中内源多胺的变化。结果表明 ,雄花在不同发育时期 ,内源腐胺含量均高于雌花 ,腐胺含量的显著升高伴随着花粉粒的形成 ,高腐胺含量是雄花发育的特征。雌花在大孢子母细胞时期以后直到雌花发育成熟 ,其内源尸胺含量均高于雄花 ,高尸胺含量可能有利于雌花的发育。高水平的内源多胺、精胺和亚精胺可能有利于雌花大孢子母细胞的形成。亚精胺和腐胺含量随着大小孢子四分体形成和大孢子核的连续分裂而分别表现下降和上升。雌性系黄瓜经硝酸银诱导雄花处理后 ,茎尖内源亚精胺含量下降 ,腐胺含量上升 ,从而诱导雄花形成 ;雄性系黄瓜经乙烯利诱导雌花处理后 ,茎尖内源亚精胺含量上升 ,腐胺含量下降 ,从而诱导雌花形成     

玉米营养成分时空动态

研究了玉米营养成分时空动态变化．结果表明,随着玉米生育期的推进,玉米籽粒的总淀粉、粗蛋白和粗脂肪的含量逐渐升高;而茎、叶的粗蛋白、粗脂肪含量逐渐下降,中性洗涤纤维、酸性洗涤纤维和酸性洗涤木质素含量逐渐升高．茎、叶粗蛋白含量下降的幅度大于籽粒粗蛋白含量上升幅度．同时,玉米植抹上部叶片的粗蛋白含量高于下部叶片,而中性洗涤纤维、酸性洗涤纤维和酸性洗涤木质索含量低于下部叶片．茎上部粗蛋白含量高于下部,中性洗涤纤维、酸性洗涤纤维和酸性洗涤木质素含量低于下部．     

节瓜茎尖多胺含量和比值与花性别分化的关系

以4个不同基因型的节瓜为材料,通过两个发育时期（10、19片叶展平）茎尖取样,研究了多胺（PA）含量和比值与植株花性别分化的关系。结果表明,节瓜茎尖4种多胺含量差异显著,两个取样时期都是亚精胺（Spd）〉腐胺（Put）〉尸胺（Cad）〉精胺（Spm）。10片叶展平时期多胺含量与节瓜花性别分化之间没有明确的相关性;19片叶展平时期,节瓜茎尖Put、Spd和多胺总量与植株雌花分化比例呈极显著的正相关,而Cad则与雌花分化比例呈极显著的负相关。在两个取样时期,复合指标Spd/PA都与植株雌花分化比例呈显著的正相关,而（Put＋Cad）/（Spd＋Spm）均与之呈显著的负相关,可以较好地预测节瓜的花性别分化状况。     

胡杨、灰叶胡杨花空间分布及数量特征研究

研究了不同居群的胡杨、灰叶胡杨花空间分布及其数量特征。结果表明,无论是胡杨还是灰叶胡杨,其雄树的树高、最低花位、集花区下限、集花区上限、最高花位皆低于雌树,并且雌株与雄株的花序分布范围亦有着较大的重叠区域。在树体上,雄花序主要分布在树冠的中部,上部次之,下部最少;雌花序主要分布在树冠的上部,中部次之,下部最少。胡杨的单株花序量、花朵花药数、花药花粉量和花序花粉量均小于灰叶胡杨,而花序花朵数胡杨雄树的小于灰叶胡杨,雌树的大于灰叶胡杨。统计分析表明,不同居群胡杨的单株花序量、花序花朵数与花药花粉量是相对稳定的,而灰叶胡杨仅雄树的单株花序量是稳定的。     

转基因cry1Ab在高粱不同器官中的表达水平

用Cry1Ab/Cry1Ac板式试剂盒测定了Cry1Ab蛋白在转基因高粱不同器官中的表达水平。结果表明,不同组织器官的Cry1Ab蛋白含量有明显差异,其顺序为叶鞘>叶>颖壳>籽粒>根>茎髓,在花药中则检测不到;不同部位的叶片、叶鞘和茎髓的Cry1Ab蛋白含量也有较大差异,中部叶的Cry1Ab蛋白含量高于上部叶和基部叶,叶鞘中是中部>基部>上部,茎髓中则表现为基部最高。     

黄瓜花性别分化和内源激素的关系

黄瓜雌花中GA3 和IAA含量均高于雄花 ;雌花在大孢子母细胞时期以后直到发育成熟 ,IAA含量持续增加 ,雄花中IAA含量则下降 ;ZT含量增加有利于大小孢子母细胞的形成而ABA含量增加则有利于四分体的形成。高水平的ZT/IAA和低水平的GA3 /ZT有利于大孢子母细胞和花粉粒的形成 ,大孢子四分体在高水平的GA3 /ZT和低水平的ZT/IAA下形成。雌性系黄瓜经硝酸银处理后茎尖中GA3 增加、IAA和ZT减少 ,有利于雄性分化 ;强雄性系黄瓜经乙烯利处理后 ,茎尖中GA3 下降 ,IAA和ZT增加 ,有利于雌性分化。据此认为内源IAA可能是黄瓜性别发育的关键性激素

黄瓜及瓠瓜的性别表现与激素控制

黄瓜(Cucumis sativus L.)及瓠瓜(Lagenaria leucantha Rusby)幼苗期间,用乙烯利(150ppm)喷洒处理,可以明显地增加雌花的发生,减少雄花的发生;而用赤霉素处理可以增加雄花的发生,而减少雌花的发生。 瓠瓜的主蔓很少着生雌花,而只生雄花。经乙烯利处理后,可以连续十余节都着生雌花,因而从根本上改变了瓠瓜的开花习性。但对于侧蔓上的雌雄性别的影响很少。 乙烯利处理,可以大大增加黄瓜及瓠瓜的雌花数,但对于产量的影响,因品种特性,及栽培技术而不同。其中以早期产量增加较明显,而总产量不一定增加。 当乙烯利与赤霉素混合处理时,对性别表现的效果,要看赤霉素的浓度来决定。高浓度(1500ppm)的赤霉素可以抵消乙烯利对性别表现的作用,低浓度(50ppm),不能抵消乙烯利的这种作用。 乙烯利促进黄瓜多生雌花的效果有一定的持续时期。在处理后8,12,24小时后,再喷高浓度赤霉素会增加雄花数及降低雌花数,但48小时以后则几乎没有什么作用。 黄瓜幼苗经乙烯利处理后,会增加其茎端组织的过氧化物酶的活性;而赤霉素处理,会抑制过氧化物酶的活性。     

银杏LEAFY同源基因的时空表达

以银杏雄株、雌株成年树和还未开过花的幼树的根、茎、叶,雌株幼果和不同时期的雄花芽、雌花芽为材料,利用同位素标记,制备Ginlfy和GinNdly两个特异探针,进行Northern分子杂交,研究银杏LFY同源基因Ginlfy、GinNdly在银杏不同器官,花芽不同生长发育时期的时空表达情况。结果显示,无论是幼树,还是成年的雌株、雄株,Ginlfy基因在各个器官,如根、茎、叶、雌花芽、雄花芽、幼果以及雌花芽、雄花芽的不同发育时期都有表达,属组成型表达,而GinNdly基因只在叶和不同时期的雄花芽、雌花芽中表达,其他器官都不表达,属特异性表达。银杏双拷贝LFY同源基因中的GinNdly基因可能与开花关系更为密切。 Abstract: Expressions of Ginlfy and GinNdly gene were studied by northern blotting in different organs and stages of Ginkgo Biloba. Ginlfy gene was expressed in different organs such as root, stem, leaf of juvenile tree, male tree and female tree, and in different stages of male flower bud and female flower bud. It was inferred that Ginlfy gene could be expressed constitutionally. GinNdly gene was only expressed in leaf of juvenile tree, male tree and female tree and in different stages of male flower bud and female flower bud, while GinNdly gene was not expressed in the other organs. Therefore it was thought that GinNdly gene could be expressed differentially and be a close relation to development of flower.     

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.     

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.
