环境条件对黄瓜硅吸收分配和果面蜡粉形成的影响

为探明环境条件影响黄瓜果面蜡粉形成的机制,以‘山农5号’黄瓜为接穗,‘黄诚根2号’南瓜(去蜡粉能力强)和‘云南黒籽南瓜’(去蜡粉能力弱)为砧木进行嫁接,在日光温室不同栽培茬口(冬春茬和秋冬茬)下研究了硅吸收分配和果面蜡粉量差异,并在人工气候室内模拟不同季节环境条件[T₁:温度28 ℃/18 ℃(昼/夜),相对湿度55%/65%,光照强度600 μmol·m^-2·s^-1;T₂:温度22 ℃/12 ℃(昼/夜),相对湿度85%/95%,光照强度300 μmol·m^-2·s^-1],研究其对硅吸收分配和硅转运蛋白基因表达的影响。结果表明:日光温室栽培条件下,与秋冬茬相比,冬春茬黄瓜商品成熟果实表面蜡粉量显著增加,其中以‘云南黑籽南瓜’嫁接黄瓜受影响较大,自根黄瓜和‘黄诚根2号’嫁接黄瓜受影响较小;相同栽培季节,均以‘云南黑籽南瓜’嫁接黄瓜果面蜡粉量和器官硅含量最多,自根黄瓜次之,‘黄诚根2号’嫁接黄瓜最少。人工气候室内,T₁环境下黄瓜各器官硅含量、叶片和根系硅转运蛋白基因表达量均高于T₂;相同环境条件下,黄瓜各器官硅含量和叶片硅转运蛋白基因表达量均为‘云南黑籽南瓜’嫁接黄瓜＞自根黄瓜＞‘黄诚根2号’嫁接黄瓜。综上,环境条件改变了黄瓜植株对硅的吸收分配,进而影响果面蜡粉形成,适宜的环境条件有利于减少果面蜡粉量;高温、强光、低湿环境导致黄瓜果面蜡粉量增多,砧木对嫁接黄瓜硅吸收和果面蜡粉形成有显著影响。     

等渗Ca（NO3）2和NaCl胁迫对黄瓜砧用南瓜幼苗生长和活性氧代谢的影响

以黄瓜砧用黑籽南瓜和白籽南瓜幼苗为材料,通过营养液栽培研究了等渗Ca(NO3)2和NaCl胁迫对南瓜幼苗生长和活性氧代谢的影响。结果表明,不同盐胁迫下两砧木幼苗生长和抗氧化系统活性均受到不同程度抑制;与黑籽南瓜相比,白籽南瓜‘青砧1号’植株的生物量和SOD、POD和CAT活性均较高,而盐害指数、膜相对透性、MDA含量及O2.-产生速率则明显降低。等渗Ca(NO3)2和NaCl对两砧木南瓜幼苗的盐胁迫效应不同,Ca(NO3)2胁迫对砧木生长的抑制作用及盐害指数、膜相对透性、MDA含量、O2.-产生速率均小于等渗的NaCl处理,而其SOD、POD、CAT活性高于NaCl处理。可见,白籽南瓜‘青砧1号’具有较强的生长势和有效清除体内活性氧能力,有效降低膜质过氧化伤害程度,这是其耐盐性高于黑籽南瓜的重要原因;Ca(NO3)2处理使两砧木幼苗细胞受氧化损伤程度较轻,对植株生长的抑制程度明显低于等渗的NaCl。     

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.

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     

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.

Development of a Novel Reverse Transcription Loop-Mediated Isothermal Amplification Method for Rapid Detection of SARS-CoV-2

In conclusion, the novel visual RT-LAMP assay is a simple, rapid, and sensitive approach for detection of SARS-CoV-2, and it is ready for application in primary care and community hospitals or health care centers, and even patients' own houses in response to the current SARS-CoV-2 epidemic because the assay does not require sophisticated equipment and skilled personnel. Furthermore, it is also ready to be used in fields for screening samples from wild animals and environments to facilitate the identification of potential intermediate hosts that mediate the cross-species transmission of SARS-CoV-2 from bats to humans.     

Perinatal Vertical Transmission of Chikungunya Virus in Ruili,a Town on the Border between China and Myanmar

正Dear Editor,Chikungunya virus (CHIKV), an arbovirus in the family of Togaviridae, genus Alphavirus, is transmitted by the A.aegyptii or A. albopictus mosquito, and causes disease in humans characterized by fever, rash, and arthralgia (Silva and Dermody 2017; Suhrbier 2019). It was first reported in 1953 in Tanzania, and caused only a few outbreaks and sporadic cases in Africa and Asia in last century. However, in the epidemic in 2004, CHIKV acquired mutations that conferred enhanced transmission by the A. albopictus mosquito(Schuffenecker et al. 2006). Since then, it has successively caused outbreaks in Africa, the Indian Ocean, South East Asia, the South America, and Europe (Zeller et al. 2016).
