激素对风信子花序外植体分化形成小鳞茎的影响

用已长出地面的风信子(Hyacinthus orientalis L.)花序为试验材料。将花序分切成不同的部分,分别接种在附加不同量的NAA及BA的MS琼脂培养基上。在无激素的培养基上,除花序轴切段能形成极小的鳞茎原基以外,其余各种外植体都不能分化形成鳞茎原基。培养基中只加NAA或BA也不易分化生成小鳞茎。培养基中同时加入NAA及BA时,如NAA的用量较BA高得较多时,虽能很快形成愈伤组织,但也不易分化生成小鳞茎。如NAA的量小于BA,则花序不同部分的外植体都可形成大小不等的小鳞茎;但花被、子房较花序轴切片及花柄需要较高的激素用量。多年来,在生产上,风信子(Hyacinthus orientalis L.)是用从鳞茎上生出的小鳞茎,或是将基盘挖掉使鳞片上长出小鳞茎的方法繁殖。近年来,有些人用组织培养的方法,用鳞片或花序切段为外值体研究风信子的繁殖〔1—3〕。因风信子多种植在土中,用鳞片进行组织培养,灭菌较困难:而用长出地面的花序为材料不仅灭菌较容易,此外,原鳞茎还可保存下来,有利于以后的工作。本工作就是研究激素对花序的不同部分的分化形成小鳞茎的影响。     

大蒜气生鳞茎形态发生及其碳水化合物和内源激素含量以及相关基因表达的变化特征

以大蒜品种‘二水早’(早熟)、‘麻江红蒜’(中晚熟)和‘徐州白’(晚熟)为材料,采用石蜡切片技术结合显微观察探讨气生鳞茎形成过程中植株茎尖和花序轴形态变化,并测定了‘麻江红蒜’气生鳞茎形成过程中可溶性糖、蔗糖、淀粉和内源激素含量及相关基因表达变化,明确不同熟期各品种大蒜气生鳞茎形成进程和形态解剖学特征,以及碳水化合物和内源激素与大蒜气生鳞茎形成的关系,以探讨大蒜气生鳞茎分化的生理机制。结果表明:(1)依据茎尖生长点和花序轴的形态解剖特征,将气生鳞茎形成进程划分为启动期、气生鳞茎原基分化期(包括保护叶原基、贮藏叶原基分化)、气生鳞茎膨大期和气生鳞茎成熟期等4个时期;3个品种气生鳞茎在相同发育时期的形态解剖学特征相同,但分化时间不同,其分化顺序与大蒜品种成熟期表现一致;当总苞叶叶尖露出叶鞘,花器官原基分化时,花序轴周围分生组织区域产生小突起,标志着气生鳞茎原基分化的开始;外层保护叶由白色转为紫色时气生鳞茎进入成熟期。(2)气生鳞茎开始膨大后,其可溶性糖和蔗糖含量均显著降低,淀粉含量显著升高;ZR含量在启动期显著升高;IAA和MeJA含量在气生鳞茎原基分化期维持在较高水平,但IAA含量随着气生鳞茎膨大显著降低,并在成熟期降至最低。(3)果聚糖代谢相关基因1-SST、1-FEH分别在膨大初期、膨大中期表达量显著升高;细胞壁转移酶基因CWI相对表达量在气生鳞茎原基分化期显著升高;蔗糖信号转导基因T6P和生长素信号转导的关键转录因子ARF1相对表达量均在气生鳞茎分化期显著升高;茉莉酸信号调控途径中的负调控因子JAZ相对表达量在大蒜气生鳞茎原基分化期和膨大初期均维持一个较低水平。研究认为,大量可溶性糖及ZR在茎尖积累,可以启动气生鳞茎原基分化,促进气生鳞茎形态发生;高浓度IAA和MeJA可促进气生鳞茎原基分化;气生鳞茎膨大消耗可溶性糖,且低浓度IAA有利于气生鳞茎膨大;成熟的气生鳞茎积累大量淀粉。     

朵朵香种子的萌发及激素对根茎分化的影响

进行了四种培养基对朵朵香[Cymbidium goeringii(Rchb.f.)Rchb.f.]种子萌发生长影响的试验。其结果是在MS培养基上,根茎较粗壮。进行了不同成熟度种子的萌发试验,结果表明授粉后九个多月的种子已达到生理成熟。研究了激素对根茎分化出芽的影响,NAA与BA配合使用时,NAA用量高于BA,则根茎继续生长不分化出芽;NAA低于BA时,根茎分化出芽。但将芽再转入无激素或NAA高于BA的培养基时,并不能促进芽生根,而是芽停止生长,芽的基部又长出根茎。

香蕉通过胚状体途径的快速繁殖研究

采用吸芽顶端分生组织培养的方法快速繁殖香蕉已广泛应用于生产。近年来,我们通过胚状体途径的快速繁殖已取得成功。取香蕉花序顶端3—5厘米,分别将雄花、花苞片和花序轴剪碎作外植体。基本培养基为MS。诱导胚状体培养基为 MS 2,4-D2mg/L(单位以下同) BA0.5 NAA0.5,胚状体发育和分化培养基为 MS BA3.0 NAA0.2;加速再生植株生长培养基为 MS KT0.2 NAA0.     

毛舞花姜花器官的发生与发育

通过扫描电镜观察了毛舞花姜(Globba barthei Gagne p.)的花序及花器官的发生与发育。3枚萼片原基首先于花顶连续发生,随后花顶的中心凹陷形成环状原基,环状原基进一步分化形成三枚花瓣—雄蕊共同原基,并在花顶的中心形成花杯。共同原基分化形成花瓣和三枚内轮雄蕊,紧接着外轮雄蕊在花杯的顶点发生。远轴的两枚内轮雄蕊延伸生长并相互融合形成了唇瓣,近轴的一枚形成了可育雄蕊;近轴的两枚外轮雄蕊发育形成了成熟花结构中的侧生退化雄蕊,而远轴的一枚缺失。近轴的两枚外轮雄蕊原基起始的同时,3枚心皮原基也在中心花杯的内侧发生而后与外轮雄蕊相间排列。对毛舞花姜花序的发生和发育的观察发现,在花序轴的头几片初级苞片中产生的是珠芽原基而非蝎尾状小花序原基,其形态特征类似于早期的蝎尾状小花序原基,由此推测珠芽很可能是蝎尾状小花序的变异。     

Studies on the biochemistry of Penicillium charlesii. Influence of various dicarboxylic acids on galactocarolose synthesis

1. It has been shown that Penicillium charlesii continues to synthesize galactocarolose when l-malic acid, malonic acid, succinic acid, fumaric acid, maleic acid or oxaloglycollic acid is substituted for dl-tartaric acid in the Raulin-Thom nutrient medium. 2. The quantity of galactocarolose synthesized per g. of mycelia was markedly decreased by substitution of l-malic acid, malonic acid, succinic acid, fumaric acid or maleic acid for dl-tartaric acid. Substitution of oxaloglycollic acid for dl-tartaric acid did not depress the galactocarolose synthesized/g. of mycelia; however, the quantity of fungal mass formed was decreased approximately fivefold. 3. Based upon (14)C incorporation into galactocarolose, succinic acid, fumaric acid or malonic acid did not serve as direct precursors of galactose as did tartaric acid. Oxaloglycollic acid, l-malic acid and maleic acid were not tested. 4. The relative quantity of galactocarolose synthesized per g. of mycelia decreased as the concentration of diammonium dicarboxylate added to the growth medium was increased. Tartaric acid, oxaloglycollic acid, fumaric acid and malonic acid were tested. 5. The quantity of mycelia formed and the quantity of galactocarolose synthesized per g. of mycelia were greater when the growth medium contained l-tartrate than when it contained d-tartrate.     

Abnormal urinary bile acids in a patient suffering from cerebrotendinous xanthomatosis during oral administration of ursodeoxycholic acid

The urinary bile acid profile, obtained by capillary gas chromatography, of a patient suffering from cerebrotendinous xanthomatosis and treated with ursodeoxycholic acid demonstrated, besides the occurrence of 23-norcholic acid and (23R)-hydroxycholic acid (as a consequence of this disease), six additional unknown bile acids and three known bile acids, viz. ursodeoxycholic acid, hyocholic acid and omega-muricholic acid. The structure of two of the unknown bile acids were elucidated and proven by organic syntheses. These were 23-norursodeoxycholic acid and 3 beta-ursodeoxycholic acid. The structures of three bile acids were tentatively elucidated as being 1 beta-hydroxyursodeoxycholic acid, 21-hydroxyursodeoxycholic acid and 22-hydroxyursodeoxycholic acid, and the possibility that the structure of the remaining bile acid is that of 5-hydroxyursodeoxycholic acid is discussed. Two of these bile acids (1 beta-hydroxyursodeoxycholic acid and 5-hydroxyursodeoxycholic acid) also occurred in urine of a healthy individual during oral ursodeoxycholic acid treatment, whereas 23-norcholic acid, 23-norursodeoxycholic acid, (23R)-hydroxycholic acid, 21-hydroxyursodeoxycholic acid and 22-hydroxyursodeoxycholic acid were only present in urine of the patient suffering from cerebrotendinous xanthomatosis. The metabolism of ursodeoxycholic acid, both in the normal state and in the cerebrotendinous xanthomatosis, is discussed.     

Degradation of coniferyl alcohol and other lignin-related aromatic compounds by Nocardia sp. DSM 1069

Nocardia sp. DSM 1069 was grown on mineral salt media with coniferyl alcohol, 4-methoxybenzoic acid, 3-methoxybenzoic acid or veratric acid as sole sources of carbon and energy. During incubation on coniferyl alcohol, the formation of coniferyl aldehyde, ferulic acid and quantitative accumulation of vanillic acid and proteocatechuic acid could be achieved with mutants. Washed cell suspensions of N. sp. grown on 4-methoxybenzoic acid, oxidized 4-hydroxybenzoic acid and protocatechuic acid. Cells grown on veratric acid, oxidized vanillic acid, isovanillic acid, and protocatechuic acid. Cell extracts were shown to cleave protocatechuic acid by ortho-fission.A mutant without protocatechuate 3,4-dioxygenase activity was not influenced in its growth on 3 methoxybenzoic acid. Cell free extracts of cells grown on 3-methoxybenzoic acid were shown to catalyze the oxidation of gentisic acid (2,5-dihydroxybenzoic acid). The resulting ring cleavage product was further metabolized by a glutathione dependent reaction.The specificity of the demethylation reactions has been investigated with a mutant unable to grow on vanillic acid. This mutant was not impaired in the degradation of isovanillic acid, 4-methoxy-, or 3-methoxybenzoic acid, whereas growth of this mutant on veratric acid (3,4-dimethoxybenzoic acid) was only half as much as that of the wild type. Concomitantly with growth on veratric acid this mutant accumulated vanillic acid with a yield of about 50%.A pathway for the catabolism of coniferyl alcohol, involving oxidation and shortening of the side chain, and of 4-methoxybenzoic acid and veratric acid with protocatechuic acid as intermediate is being proposed. A second one is proposed for the degradation of 3-methoxybenzoic acid with gentisic acid as intermediate.     

低磷胁迫下AM真菌对枳实生苗吸磷效应及根系分泌有机酸的影响

Two omega-amino acid transaminases from Bacillus cereus.

Bacillus cereus strain K-22 produced two distinct omega-amino acid transaminases, one catalyzing the transamination between beta-alanine and pyruvic acid and the other that between gamma-aminobutyric acid and alpha-ketoglutaric aic. The two enzymes were partially purified and separated from each other by various chromatographies. beta-Alanine:pyruvic acid transaminase and gamma-aminobutyric acid:alpha-ketoglutaric acid transaminase were induced by the addition of beta-alanine and gamma-aminobutyric acid, respectively, to the growth medium. beta-Alanine transaminase showed an optimum pH of 10.0 and optimum temperature of 35 degrees C, and its Km values for beta-alanine and pyruvic acid were both 1.1 mM. gamma-Aminobutyric acid, epsilon-aminocaproic acid, 2-aminoethylphosphonic acid, and propylamine showed about 30-40% of the activity of beta-alanine as amino donors, and oxalacetic acid was as good an amino acceptor as pyruvic acid. The optimum pH and temperature of gamma-aminobutyric acid transaminase were 9.0 and 50 degrees C, respectively, and its Km value for gamma-aminobutyric acid was 2.8 mM, while that for alpha-ketoglutaric acid was 2.3 mM. gamma-Aminobutyric acid and delta-aminovaleric acid were good amino donors but other omega-amino acids were virtually inactive with gamma-aminobutyric acid transaminase; alpha-ketoglutaric acid, and to a lesser extent glyoxylic acid, were active amino acceptors. Sulfhydryl reagents specifically activated gamma-aminobutyric acid transaminase.     

酚酸类物质的抑草效应分析

Assessment of toxicity of volatile fatty acids to Photobacterium phosphoreum

The toxicity of four volatile fatty acids (VFAs) as anaerobic digestion (AD) intermediates was investigated at pH 7. Photobacterium phosphoreum T3 was used as an indicator organism. Binary, ternary and mixtures of AD intermediates were designated by letters A (acetic acid + propionic acid), B (acetic acid + butyric acid), C (acetic acid + ethanol), D (propionic acid + butyric acid), E (propionic acid + ethanol), F (butyric acid + ethanol), G (acetic acid + propionic acid + butyric acid), H (acetic acid + propionic acid + ethanol), I (acetic acid + butyric acid+ ethanol), J (propionic acid + butyric acid + ethanol) and K (acetic acid + propionic acid + butyric acid + ethanol) to assess the toxicity through equitoxic mixing ratio method. The IC₅₀ values of acetic acid, propionic acid, butyric acid and ethanol were 9.812, 7.76, 6.717 and 17.33 g/L respectively, displaying toxicity order of: butyric acid > propionic acid > acetic acid > ethanol being additive in nature. The toxic effects of four VFAs could be designated as synergistic and one additive in nature.     

Inverse correlation between jasmonic acid and salicylic acid during early wound response in rice

This study presents a kinetic analysis of the response to wounding in rice plants. In particular, jasmonic acid, salicylic acid, and lipoxygenase activity were measured in leaves of wounded rice plants during the early tillering phase. The results show that endogenous jasmonic acid transiently increases to a maximum 30 min after wounding (jasmonic acid burst) and lipoxygenase activity increases after the jasmonic acid burst, but not after the second smaller peak of endogenous jasmonic acid 23 h after wounding. In contrast, endogenous salicylic acid decreases during the jasmonic acid burst, such that the kinetic profiles of jasmonic acid and salicylic acid are inversely correlated during the early response to wounding. It is proposed here that the increase in endogenous jasmonic acid and the decrease in endogenous salicylic acid may contribute for establishing the efficient negative cross-talk between jasmonic acid and salicylic acid signaling pathways during the early response to wounding in rice.     

The metabolism of n-decane by a Pseudomonas

The growth of a Pseudomonas on n-decane was found to produce stearic acid, oleic acid, palmitic acid, palmitoleic acid, decanoic acid, octanoic acid, beta-hydroxydecanoic acid, beta-hydroxyoctanoic acid, beta-hydroxyhexanoic acid and beta-hydroxyadipic acid. Small amounts of n-decanamide and n-valeramide were also isolated. The effects of nitrogen and oxygen limitation on the formation of these products in continuous fermentations is reported.     

Inhibition behaviours of some phenolic acids on rat kidney aldose reductase enzyme: an in vitro study

Aldose reductase (AR) inhibitors have vital importance in the treatment and prevention of diabetic complications. In this study, rat kidney AR was purified 19.34-fold with a yield of 3.49% and a specific activity of 0.88?U/mg using DE-52 Cellulose anion exchange chromatography, gel filtration chromatography and 2′5′ ADP Sepharose-4B affinity chromatography, respectively. After purification, the in vitro inhibition effects of some phenolic acids (tannic acid, chlorogenic acid, sinapic acid, protocatechuic acid, 4-hydroxybenzoic acid, p-coumaric acid, ferulic acid, vanillic acid, syringic acid, α-resorcylic acid, 3-hydroxybenzoic acid and gallic acid) were investigated on purified enzyme. We determined IC₅₀, K_i values and inhibition types of these phenolic acids. As a result, tannic and chlorogenic acid had a strong inhibition effect. On the other hand, gallic acid had a weak inhibition effect. In this study, all phenolic acids except for chlorogenic acid and p-coumaric acid showed non-competitive inhibition effects on rat kidney AR.
