火炬松成熟合子胚离体培养过程中诱导不定芽的影响因素研究

火世松（Pinus taed L）界南方松中最重要的针叶树种之一,在环境保护,园林绿化和林业生产中有重要应用价值。有关火炬松未成熟胚的体细胞胚胎发生和器官发生的研究报道不多,其成熟合子胚的愈伤组织器官发生未见报道。本文以取自湖南省邵阳市林场的火炬松成熟种胚为外植体,在诱导其愈伤组织器官发生的基础上,系统地研究了BA浓度,基本培养基（TE）浓度和不同碳源等对愈伤组织上不定芽的发生和发育的影响,优化了火炬松离体再生的培养条件,为火炬松的无性繁殖技术应用于实验生产奠定了基础。研究结果表明：不同的浓度条件下,4mg/LBA培养基上的不定芽诱导频率和每个胚上的芽平均数最高,分别是76．3％和3．4。火炬松器官发生愈伤组织（Fig.1)上的不定芽形成于愈伤组织表面（Fig.2)。不定芽的发生常不同步（Fig.3)。不定芽在低浓度BA(1-2mg/L）条件下发育较好(Fig.4),在高浓度BA（8－16mg/L）条件下发育减慢（Fig.5),在1mg/LBA条件下伸长生长较快（Fig.6);不同浓度基本培养基的实验结果表明,当基本培养基浓度为1．25TE时,不定芽诱导频率（73．5％）;不同浓度基本培养基的实验结果表明。池基本培养基浓度为0．5或0．75TE时,不定芽基部易形成愈伤组织（Fig.7)。在1．5TE培养基上,不定芽瘦弱且发育缓慢（Fig.8);不同碳源的实验结果表明,以2％的葡萄为碳源时,不定芽的诱导频率和每个胚上的芽平均数均最高,分别是83．7％和5．8。由此可见,4mg/LBA,1.25TE基本培养基和2％葡萄糖可能是构成火炬松成熟合子胚离体高效无性快速繁殖体系的决定性和关键因素。

Oxygen consumption in the foraging honeybee depends on the reward rate at the food source

Oxygen consumption of the honeybee Apis mellifera ligustica was measured as a function of the flow rate supply of sucrose solution at an automatic feeder located inside a respirometric chamber. Trained bees freely entered the respirometric chamber and collected the sucrose solution supplied. The mean value of the O₂ consumption rate per visit increased with the sucrose flow rate, and for a given flow rate, with increasing locomotor activity. However, when no locomotor activity was displayed, O₂ consumption also increased with increasing nectar flow rate. Crop load attained at the end of the visit showed a positive relationship with the nectar flow rate; however, for a given flow rate, O₂ consumption showed either no correlation or a negative one with the final crop load attained. It is concluded that the energy expenditure of the foraging bee is controlled by a motivational drive whose intensity depends on the reward rate at the food source. Accepted: 30 July 1996     

Effect of carbohydrate on age-related feeding behaviors and longevity in adult black cutworm,Agrotis ipsilon (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae)

Age-related consumption and longevity were monitored in the laboratory for adultA. ipsilon fed either a 1M sucrose solution or water. An additional group was completely starved. Adults consumed sucrose solution and water just after eclosion; the percentage feeding daily and the mean daily consumption for females and males fed sucrose solution declined with time, whereas the percentage feeding daily and the mean daily consumption of those fed water increased with time. Total consumption was significantly higher for those fed sucrose solution (P<0.01) because they lived longer, but consumption per day averaged over the entire adult stage was not significantly different between those fed sucrose solution and those fed water (P>0.05). Mean longevity was significantly extended for females and males fed sucrose solution over those fed water or starved (P<0.01). Moreover, consumption of either fluid was significantly correlated with extended longevity in all groups (P<0.05). These data on fluid consumption by adultA. ipsilon are discussed relative to posteclosion migratory activities.     

肉苁蓉和寄主梭梭体内可溶性糖分积累与蔗糖代谢相关酶活性研究

通过测定不同发育时期肉苁蓉和寄主梭梭体内主要糖类物质含量和蔗糖代谢相关酶活性,以研究寄生植物与寄主植物的糖代谢及其关系。结果表明:未寄生肉苁蓉的梭梭以积累葡萄糖为主,而寄生肉苁蓉的梭梭在夏季休眠期以积累葡萄糖为主,进入秋季旺盛生长期时以积累蔗糖为主。肉苁蓉的糖分积累与梭梭不同,己糖含量约占可溶性总糖的62.45%,而蔗糖仅为可溶性总糖的4.98%,故肉苁蓉为己糖积累型。寄主梭梭同化枝内蔗糖磷酸合成酶活性较转化酶活性和蔗糖合成酶活性低,其中寄生肉苁蓉的梭梭的分解酶类活性高于未寄生肉苁蓉的梭梭。肉苁蓉体内转化酶活性较低,而蔗糖合成酶和蔗糖磷酸合成酶活性较高,且蔗糖合成酶活性高于蔗糖磷酸合成酶活性,表现为肉苁蓉中的分解酶类活性高于合成酶类活性,较高的分解酶类活性促进了蔗糖的分解,从而促进了糖分由寄主梭梭向肉苁蓉的不断转移。总体来看,肉苁蓉和寄主梭梭体内糖分的代谢主要以蔗糖合成酶为主,其它2种酶为辅协同参与调控。     

Effects of sucrose concentrations and fly age on feeding responses and survival of female and male western cherry fruit flies, Rhagoletis indifferens

Abstract. The effects of single meals of different sucrose concentrations on feeding responses and survival of 8–24-h-old, 1–2-, 10–12- and 31–36-day-old female and male western cherry fruit flies, Rhagoletis indifferens Curran, were determined. Feeding time and food consumption response patterns in both sexes within age groups were curvilinear. Feeding times increased as sucrose concentrations increased, and were longest when the sucrose concentration was 100% (dry). Consumption of dilute wet sucrose was low, whereas consumption of concentrated wet sucrose was high. However, consumption of dry, 100% sucrose was also low. One to 2-day-old flies of both sexes that had not previously fed consumed more sucrose foods than unfed 8–24-h-old flies and 10–12- and 31–36-day-old flies that had been starved for 16–24 h. Females consumed more than males, but they consumed the same amount as males per mg bodyweight. When fed single 20% and 60% sucrose meals, 1–2-day-old flies survived longer compared to flies in all other age groups, with 31–36-day-old flies surviving shortest. Despite age-related differences in survival, in general, no sex differences in survival were seen in flies fed sucrose within any age groups, or in flies fed sucrose-yeast, cherry juice and honeydew foods. The results suggest that sugar-feeding behaviours and the energy invested in sugar 'seeking' by both sexes of R. indifferens should be the same throughout life.     

New insights into bioprotective effectiveness of disaccharides: an FTIR study of human haemoglobin aqueous solutions exposed to static magnetic fields

The aim of this study was the investigation of static magnetic field effects on haemoglobin secondary structure and the bioprotective effectiveness of two disaccharides, sucrose and trehalose. Samples of haemoglobin aqueous solutions, in the absence and in the presence of sucrose and trehalose, were exposed to a uniform magnetic field at 200 mT, which is the exposure limit established by the ICNIRP recommendation for occupational exposure. Spectral analysis by FTIR spectroscopy after 3 and 7 h of exposure revealed a decrease in the amide A vibration band for haemoglobin in bi-distilled water solution. Analogue exposures did not produce any appreciable change of amide A for haemoglobin in sucrose and trehalose solutions. Otherwise, no relative increase of \upbeta \upbeta -sheet contents in amide I and II regions was detected for haemoglobin aqueous solutions, leading us to exclude the hypothesis that static magnetic fields can induce the formation of aggregates in the protein. In addition, a decrease in CH₃ stretching linkages occurred for haemoglobin in bi-distilled water solution after exposure, which was not observed for haemoglobin in sucrose and trehalose aqueous solutions, providing further evidence of a bioprotective compensatory mechanism of such disaccharides.     

Specific changes in the sodium chloride intake and activity of the taste receptor apparatus of rats administered the peptide litorin and its albumin conjugate

The role of bombesin-like peptide litorin in control of salt consumption was studied in rats. The influence of exogenous injection and binding of the endogenous litorin in the organism on the consumption of sodium chloride and sucrose solutions was analyzed in deprived rats in the process of 15-min. testing. It was found that intraperitoneal injection of 10(-6) - 10(-5) M of litorin led to an increase, and rats immunization by peptide conjugate with ox serum albumin--to a decrease of the consumption of salt solution, without changing the consumption of sucrose solution. Titres of antibodies to litorin in the plasma of rats immunized with the conjugate were higher than in the control. Intraperitoneal, subcutaneous or intranasal injections of 10(-5) M of litorin led to selective increase of gustatory responses (recorded from the chorda tympani) to tongue stimulation by salt and acid solutions not influencing the responses to quinine and sucrose in anesthetized rats. The study shows, that the peptide litorin selectively participates in the control of sodium chloride consumption. In the process of such control the increase of taste apparatus sensitivity to the sodium chloride is probably involved.     

Influence of experimental context on the development of anhedonia in male mice exposed to chronic social stress

Consumption of 1% sucrose solution supplemented with 0.2% vanillin was studied in two experimental contexts in male mice living under chronic social stress induced by daily experience of defeats in agonistic interactions and leading to development of depression. In the first experiment, vanillin sucrose solution was made available as an option along with water during 10 days for mice living in group home cages. Then the mice were subjected to repeated social defeat stress and during exposure to stress they were provided with both vanillin sucrose solution and water using a free two-bottle choice paradigm. In the other experiment, vanillin sucrose solution was first offered to mice after 8 days of exposure to social defeat stress. Males familiar with vanillin sucrose solution showed vanillin sucrose preference while experiencing defeat stress: consumption of vanillin sucrose solution was about 70% of total liquid consumption. However, the consumption of vanillin sucrose solution per gram of body weight in mice exposed to social stress during 20 days was significantly lower than in control males. In the second experiment, males after 8 days of social defeat stress were found to consume significantly less vanillin sucrose solution as compared to control males. On average, during two weeks of measurements, vanillin sucrose solution intake was less than 20% of total liquid consumption in males. Consumption per gram of body weight also appeared to be significantly lower than in control group. The influence of experimental context on the development of anhedonia measured as a reduction of sucrose solution intake by chronically stressed male mice is discussed.     

Intersex and interspecies differences in sucrose consumption by rats with various behavioral strategies]

Sucrose consumption by male and female rats during active avoidance acquisition was measured in two rat strains: KLA (Koltushi low avoidance) and KHA (Koltushi high avoidance) selected for divergent performance in a shuttlebox. Under resting condition, there were no interstrain difference in sucrose consumption by males, but KHA females consumed significantly less sucrose than KLA females. Active avoidance acquisition during five consecutive days decreased sucrose consumption in KLA males and did not change sucrose consumption in KHA males. Within a week after exposure to the stress, the sucrose consumption by KLA males returned to its normal values, and KHA males consumed significantly more sucrose. The active avoidance conditioning did not affect sucrose consumption in females of both strains. Substitution of 32% solution for 4% produced on the first day a sharp decrease in sucrose consumption in males of both strains, while females sharply increased consumption of the diluted solution over the next four days of observation. During this time, males returned to consumption of the same volume of the solution despite its decreased concentration. The findings suggest that the exposure to the escapable stress induces the negative affect only in KLA males.     

Brief Exposure to Novel or Enriched Environments Reduces Sucrose Cue-Reactivity and Consumption in Rats after 1 or 30 Days of Forced Abstinence from Self-Administration

Environmental enrichment (EE) reduces drug and sucrose cue-reactivity in rats. In a previous study we reported that 1 month of EE (large cage, toys, and social cohorts) significantly reduced sucrose cue-reactivity. In the present study, we examined whether overnight (22 h) EE would be as effective. We also examined whether social enrichment (SE), enrichment alone (SoloEE), or exposure to an alternative environment (AEnv) might account for the EE effect. Rats self-administered 10% sucrose (.2 mL/delivery) in 10 daily 2-h sessions. Sucrose delivery was accompanied by a tone+light cue. Rats were then exposed to enrichment or alternative environment conditions overnight (acute) or for 29 days (chronic). Sucrose cue-reactivity was measured after this period of forced abstinence in a session identical to training, but no sucrose was delivered with the cue. All acute conditions markedly reduced sucrose cue-reactivity after 1 day of forced abstinence compared to single-housed rats in standard vivarium housing (CON). Sucrose consumption was also significantly reduced in all groups but SoloEE in a next-day test. All acute conditions but SE significantly reduced sucrose cue-reactivity when administered just prior to Day 30 of forced abstinence; all reduced sucrose consumption in a next-day test. All chronic conditions except for SE and AEnv significantly reduced sucrose cue-reactivity on the Day 30 test and sucrose consumption in a next day test. For both acute and chronic comparisons, EE manipulations were the most effective at reducing sucrose cue-reactivity and consumption. SoloEE and EE were equally effective at reducing sucrose cue-reactivity and similarly effective at reducing sucrose consumption. This indicates that social interaction is not a necessary condition for reducing sucrose-motivated behaviors. These results may be useful in the development of anti-relapse strategies for drug and food addictions.     

Dietary nutrient levels regulate protein and carbohydrate intake,gluconeogenic/glycolytic flux and blood trehalose level in the insect<Emphasis Type="Italic"> Manduca sexta</Emphasis> L.

This study examined the effects of dietary casein and sucrose levels on nutrient intake, and distinguished the effects of carbohydrate and protein consumption on growth, fat content, pyruvate metabolism and blood trehalose level of 5th instar Manduca sexta larvae. Growth increased with increasing casein consumption but was unaffected by carbohydrate intake. Fat content also increased with carbohydrate consumption, but on carbohydrate-free diets fat content increased with increased protein consumption. Blood trehalose level and pyruvate metabolism were examined by nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy analysis of blood following administration of (3-(13)C)pyruvate. On diets containing sucrose, blood trehalose increased with increasing carbohydrate intake, and on most diets trehalose was synthesized entirely from dietary sucrose. Pyruvate cycling, indicated by the alanine C2/C3 (13)C enrichment ratio, increased with carbohydrate consumption reflecting increased glycolysis, and pyruvate decarboxylation exceeded carboxylation on all sucrose diets. Larvae that consumed <75 mg/day sucrose were gluconeogenic, based on the [2 (trehalose C6)(Glx C3/C2)]/alanine C2] (13)C enrichment ratio. On carbohydrate-free diets, blood trehalose levels were low and maintained entirely by gluconeogenesis. Blood trehalose level increased with increasing protein intake. Pyruvate cycling was very low, although many insects displayed higher levels of pyruvate decarboxylation than carboxylation. All gluconeogenic larvae displayed alanine (13)C enrichment ratios <0.35 and had blood trehalose levels <50 mM.
