多胺对水稻CMS系及其保持系幼穗蛋白质,核酸和活性氧代谢的影响

用Ｄ－Ａｒｇ＋ＭＧＢＧ处理保持系,降低花粉可育度,并使其幼穗中蛋白质、ＤＮＡ和ＲＮＡ含量以及蛋白酶、ＲＮＡ酶和ＤＮＡ酶活性下降,使Ｏ２生成速率和ＭＤＡ含量上升。Ｐｕｔ＋Ｓｐｄ＋Ｓｐｍ有除或部分消除Ｄ－Ａｒｇ＋ＭＧＢＧ的上述效应（对酶活性的除外）。Ｄ－Ａｒｇ＋ＭＧＢＧ也使ＰＯＤ、ＳＯＤ和ＣＡＴ活性上升,但是,用Ｐｏｔ＋Ｓｐｄ＋Ｓｐｍ处理不育系,使花粉可育度轻度提高,并使其幼穗蛋白质、ＤＮＡ和ＲＮＡ含     

精胺和甲基乙二醛—双（脒基腙）及D—精氨酸对不分胁迫下小麦细？…

土壤自然干旱条件下叶面喷施精胺（Ｓｐｍ）、Ｄ－精氨酸（Ｄ－Ａｒｇ）、甲基乙二醛－双（脒基腙）（ＭＧＢＧ）不改变小麦幼苗内源多胺含量变化趋势,只是不同程度地影响内源多胺水平。Ｓｐｍ处理提高内源腐胺（Ｐｕｔ）和亚精胺（Ｓｐｄ）水平;Ｄ－Ａｒｇ处理的内涵Ｐｕｔ和Ｓｐｄ水平也略有提高;ＭＧＢＧ提高内源Ｐｕｔ水平,且ＭＧＢＧ作用前期降低Ｓｐｄ水平,后期则导致Ｓｐｄ水平增高。

水稻细胞质雄性不育系幼穗发育过程中多胺与乙烯的关系初探(英文 )

利用ＨＰＬＣ和ＧＣ分别测定了水稻细胞质雄性不育系及其保持系幼穗多胺（ 腐胺,亚精胺和精胺） 含量和乙烯释放速率,并研究了外施多胺合成抑制剂ＭＧＢＧ 和乙烯前体ＡＣＣ生成抑制剂ＡＶＧ 对两系幼穗多胺含量和乙烯释放速率以及花粉育性的影响。结果表明, 不育系幼穗乙烯释放速率显著高于其保持系幼穗, 外施ＡＶＧ 引起两系幼穗乙烯释放速率下降,并使不育系花粉育性得以部分恢复; 不育系幼穗多胺含量显著低于保持系幼穗, 外施ＭＧＢＧ 使两系幼穗Ｓｐｄ 和Ｓｐｍ 含量下降, 并使保持系花粉育性降低。外施ＡＶＧ 抑制乙烯释放,促进多胺合成;而外施ＭＧＢＧ 抑制Ｓｐｄ和Ｓｐｍ 合成, 却促进乙烯的释放; 而且,乙烯释放速率与多胺（精胺和亚精胺） 含量呈显著负相关。提示在水稻ＣＭＳ 系及其保持系幼穗发育过程中乙烯与多胺（ 精胺和亚精胺） 的生物合成竞争ＳＡＭ。     

臭氧胁迫下春小麦叶片胁迫乙烯产生与多胺含量的变化与调控

应用开顶式熏气装置,研究了０．７９６ ｍ ｇ／ｍ ３ Ｏ３ 浓度下,四叶期春小麦（Ｔｒｉｔｉｃｕｍ ａｅｓｔｉｖｕｍＬ．）叶片内胁迫乙烯产生和多胺含量的变化及其调控。结果表明：Ｏ３ 使胁迫乙烯的产生呈现先升后降的变化。ＣｏＣｌ２ 能强烈抑制胁迫乙烯产生。胁迫初期,精氨酸脱羧酶（ＡＤＣ）活性增强,当叶片伤害加重后,ＡＤＣ活性下降。对氯汞苯甲酸（ＰＣＭＢ）能抑制ＡＤＣ活性,并使腐胺（Ｐｕｔ）含量减少,而亚精胺（Ｓｐｄ）和精胺（Ｓｐｍ ）含量稍有增加。ＣｏＣｌ２ 对叶片ＡＤＣ活性影响不大,未见Ｐｕｔ的积累,Ｓｐｄ 和Ｓｐｍ 含量急剧增加,且一直保持较高水平,叶片所表现的伤害也较轻。较高浓度的Ｓｐｄ 和Ｓｐｍ 能抑制Ｏ３ 对植株的伤害,Ｓｐｄ 和Ｓｐｍ 的抑制作用大于Ｐｕｔ。由此认为,多胺含量变化是植物体对Ｏ３ 胁迫适应的调节机制之一

Causality, randomness, intelligibility, and the epistemology of the cell

Because the basic unit of biology is the cell, biological knowledge is rooted in the epistemology of the cell, and because life is the salient characteristic of the cell, its epistemology must be centered on its livingness, not its constituent components. The organization and regulation of these components in the pursuit of life constitute the fundamental nature of the cell. Thus, regulation sits at the heart of biological knowledge of the cell and the extraordinary complexity of this regulation conditions the kind of knowledge that can be obtained, in particular, the representation and intelligibility of that knowledge. This paper is essentially split into two parts. The first part discusses the inadequacy of everyday intelligibility and intuition in science and the consequent need for scientific theories to be expressed mathematically without appeal to commonsense categories of understanding, such as causality. Having set the backdrop, the second part addresses biological knowledge. It briefly reviews modern scientific epistemology from a general perspective and then turns to the epistemology of the cell. In analogy with a multi-faceted factory, the cell utilizes a highly parallel distributed control system to maintain its organization and regulate its dynamical operation in the face of both internal and external changes. Hence, scientific knowledge is constituted by the mathematics of stochastic dynamical systems, which model the overall relational structure of the cell and how these structures evolve over time, stochasticity being a consequence of the need to ignore a large number of factors while modeling relatively few in an extremely complex environment.     

Parallelism,parsimony, and the phytogeny of the lemuridae

In spite of the increasing popularity of cladistic methods in studies of primate systematics, few authors have investigated the effects of parallel evolution when such methods are applied to empirical data. To counter the effects of parallelism, cladistic techniques rely on the principle of evolutionary parsimony. When parsimony procedures are used to reconstruct the phylogeny of the Lemuridae, nine highly parsimonious phylogenies can be deduced. Further choice among these competing hypotheses of relationship is determined by the extent to which one embraces the parsimony principle. The phylogeny obtained by the most rigorous adherence to the parsimony principle is one which is wholly consistent with traditional evolutionary classifications of the Lemuridae. Moderate levels of parallelism can lead to the generation of several plausible, alternative phylogenetic hypotheses; less than 25% of the characters analyzed here need have evolved in parallel, yet they are largely responsible for the ambiguity of the nine different lemurid phylogenies. This suggests that phylogeny reconstructions based entirely on cladistic methods do not provide a suitable basis for the construction of classifications for groups such as the order Primates, where the degree of parallelism is likely to be quite high.     

Phylogenetic circumscription of Saccharomyces, Kluyveromyces and other members of the Saccharomycetaceae, and the proposal of the new genera Lachancea, Nakaseomyces, Naumovia, Vanderwaltozyma and Zygotorulaspora

Genera currently assigned to the Saccharomycetaceae have been defined from phenotype, but this classification does not fully correspond with species groupings determined from phylogenetic analysis of gene sequences. The multigene sequence analysis of Kurtzman and Robnett [FEMS Yeast Res. 3 (2003) 417-432] resolved the family Saccharomycetaceae into 11 well-supported clades. In the present study, the taxonomy of the Saccharomyctaceae is evaluated from the perspective of the multigene sequence analysis, which has resulted in reassignment of some species among currently accepted genera, and the proposal of the following five new genera: Lachancea, Nakaseomyces, Naumovia, Vanderwaltozyma and Zygotorulaspora.     

Content and Concentration of Taurine,Hypotaurine, and Zinc in the Retina,the Hippocampus,and the Dentate Gyrus of the Rat at Various Postnatal Days

Taurine and zinc possess neurotrophic and neuroprotective properties, and they have been demonstrated to interact in the central nervous system (CNS). The aim of this work was to determine taurine, hypotaurine, and zinc levels during postnatal development and any possible significant correlation between them in selective areas of the CNS with differential taurine level regulation and intrinsic capacity to proliferate. Taurine and hypotaurine content (nM/region) and concentration (nM/mg protein) and total zinc levels were determined in the retina, hippocampus, and dentate gyrus of the rat at postnatal days 5, 10, 15, 20, 30, and 50. Taurine and hypotaurine increased during development in the retina without significant correlation between them. In the hippocampus there was a progressive decrease, and in the dentate gyrus there was an initial increase and a posterior decrease of taurine and hypotaurine levels. Correlation between the two amino acids was observed at P10, P15, and P50 for the hippocampus and at P15, P30, and P50 for the dentate gyrus. The variations in total zinc levels followed a biphasic behavior, with an early decrease and later increase. Significant and positive correlation of zinc and taurine was only observed in the hippocampus at P30 and P50 and negative in the dentate gyrus at P30. No significant correlation was obtained for the retina. The maintenance of taurine levels in specific CNS areas does not seem to be related to the availability of the precursor, hypotaurine, which might have a role by itself. There are critical postnatal periods during which there is a preservation of taurine, hypotaurine, or zinc levels. It seems that these requirements could be related to zinc-taurine interactions.
