桃花粉离体萌发和花粉管生长特性研究

采用花粉离体萌发法研究不同培养基组分和培养条件对桃花粉萌发和花粉管生长的影响,同时对不同贮藏温度下的桃花粉寿命进行研究.结果表明:固体培养基与液体培养基对桃的花粉萌发率和花粉管长度影响差异不显著;10%蔗糖是大多数桃品种花粉的最适萌发条件;硼能提高桃花粉的萌发率,但对花粉管的生长没有促进作用;桃花粉在20℃～25℃的培养温度下萌发率最高,花粉管最长;桃花粉萌发率和花粉管长度在培养前3 h内上升最快,3～5 h上升趋势减弱,5 h后基本停止;随着贮藏温度的升高和贮藏时间的延长,花粉生活力呈降低的趋势.

采用离体培养法和杂交实验法,以菊花品种‘钟山金阳’(Chrysanthemum morifolium‘Zhongshanjinyang’)为实验材料,比较了不同的花序开放程度(花序开放天数和散粉阶段)、栽培温度和贮藏条件对其花粉萌发的影响。离体培养结果表明:在花序开放的第2至第7天花粉萌发率为22.6%~17.3%,第9天为7.7%,第11天仅为2.8%;在散粉的第1阶段(第1和第2轮管状花散粉)和第2阶段(第3和第4轮管状花散粉)花粉萌发率分别为19.5%和17.8%,第3阶段(全部管状花散粉)花粉萌发率仅为9.4%,表明随花序的开放和散粉阶段的延续,花粉萌发率均呈逐渐降低的趋势。在昼/夜温度5℃/0℃、10℃/5℃、15℃/10℃、20℃/15℃、25℃/20℃和30℃/25℃条件下栽培一定时间,其花粉萌发率和花粉管长度均有明显差异;其中,10℃/5℃栽培组培养4.0 h的花粉萌发率最高(23.0%),而30℃/25℃栽培组培养0.5 h的花粉萌发率最低(1.2%);15℃/10℃和20℃/15℃栽培组培养4.0 h的花粉管长度较长(分别为144.4和146.1μm),而30℃/25℃栽培组培养0.5 h的花粉管长度最短(38.3μm)。在不同贮藏温度下[4℃、-20℃和室温(约25℃)],新鲜和干燥花粉的萌发率均随贮藏时间的延长逐渐下降,但降幅存在明显差异;其中,新鲜花粉贮藏12 d后花粉萌发率从21.4%降至5.0%以下,干燥花粉贮藏26 d后花粉萌发率降至5.0%以下;总体上看,干燥花粉的萌发率和贮藏时间均高于新鲜花粉,以-20℃条件下贮藏的干燥花粉萌发率最高且可贮藏至50 d以内。杂交实验结果显示:用不同栽培温度下的品种‘钟山金阳’的花粉对品种‘钟山粉碟’(‘Zhongshanfendie’)进行人工授粉,在柱头上花粉萌发数差异明显;其中,10℃/5℃栽培组的花粉萌发数最多(55.5),30℃/25℃栽培组的花粉萌发数最少(8.8),且二者间差异显著(P0.05)。综合分析结果表明:花序开放天数、散粉阶段、栽培温度及贮藏条件对菊花品种‘钟山金阳’的花粉萌发率均有明显影响。根据研究结果,建议菊花品种‘钟山金阳’花粉的最佳采集时期为花序开放的7 d内且为第1至第4轮管状花散粉阶段,栽培温度应维持在10℃左右,而且采集的花粉应置于-20℃干燥条件下贮藏。

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.

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.     

Entwicklungsgeschichte und Ultrastruktur von Pollenkitt und Exine bei nahe verwandten entomophilen und anemophilen Angiospermensippen derAlismataceae,Liliaceae, Juncaceae,Cyperaceae, Poaceae undAraceae

Some closely related members of the monocotyledonous familiesAlismataceae, Liliaceae, Juncaceae, Cyperaceae, Poaceae andAraceae with variable modes of pollination (insect- and wind-pollination) were studied in relation to the ultrastructure of pollenkitt and exine (amount, consistency and distribution of pollenkitt on the surface of pollen grains). The character syndromes of pollen cementing in entomophilous, anemophilous and intermediate (ambophilous or amphiphilous) monocotyledons are the same in principal as in dicotyledons. Comparing present with former results one can summarize: 1) The pollenkitt is always produced in the same manner by the anther tapetum in all angiosperm sub-classes. 2) The variable stickiness of entomophilous and anemophilous pollen always depends on the particular distribution and consistency of the pollenkitt, but not its amount on the pollen surface. 3) The mostly dry and powdery pollen of anemophilous plants always contains a variable amount of inactive pollenkitt in its exine cavities. 4) A step-by step change of the pollen cementing syndrome can be observed from entomophily towards anemophily. 5) From the omnipresence of pollenkitt in all wind-pollinated angiosperms studied one can conclude that the ancestors of anemophilous angiosperms probably have been zoophilous (i.e. entomophilous) throughout.
