红豆杉(Taxus chinensis (Pilger) Rehd.)化学成分研究(简报)

自七十年代发现了紫杉醇（taxol）独特的抗癌机制一促进微管蛋白聚合、抑制微管蛋白解聚后,紫杉醇及其类似物紫杉烷类二该化合物的资源调查和化学研究倍受重视。紫杉醇主要存在于红豆杉科的大多数植物中,红豆杉科（Taxaceae）红豆杉属（TaxuS）植物全球大约有11种,我国有4种和1个变种。我们从采自湖北神农架的红豆杉（Tchinens周树皮中分离得到8个结晶性物质,本文报道其中已鉴定的3个成分,即taxinineJ（l）,ldiydroxybaccatinl（2）和taxol（3）。据文献报道,已经从红豆杉分离得到二十多种紫杉烷类化合物l'l,而我们分离得到的1和2…     

Syntheses of (±)-Epoformin (Desoxyepoxydon) and (±)-Epiepoformin (Desoxyepiepoxydon)

Boron is an essential nutrient for plants, but it is toxic in excess. Transgenic rice plants expressing an Arabidopsis thaliana borate efflux transporter gene, AtBOR4, at a low level exhibited increased tolerance to excess boron. Those lines with high levels of expression exhibited reduced growth. These findings suggest a potential of the borate transporter BOR4 for the generation of high-boron tolerant rice.

恐龙遗址旅游指南(1)北美篇(上)

北美大陆一直是恐龙研究的科研重镇,其恐龙品种在全球名列前茅,相关研究也常令人惊喜。美国、加拿大的恐龙研究比中国早起步五十年,所以暂居研究上的领先地位。目前,北美的古生物学家不仅孜孜不倦的抠挖、描述着自己土地下的骨骼化石,还致力于世界各地的古生物研究．多支远征队,多个合作课题在持续进行着,不断揭露出恐龙世界的点滴。在该北美篇,我们将到达世界上最宏伟的恐龙遗址参观,感受龙界风云。

乐昌含笑(木兰科)的核型研究(英文)

首次报道了乐昌含笑(Michelia chapensis)的染色体数目和核型。核型公式为2n=38=28m+6sm+4st(2SAT)。与前人认为整个含笑属都为单一的2A型不同,乐昌含笑的核型属于Stebbins的2B型,具有2对近端着丝粒染色体。而且发现在第9对染色体上有小随体的存在。这些表明在含笑属内含有不同的核型。乐昌含笑在细胞学意义上可能是属内比较进化的类群。对染色体结构的细微改变在木兰科植物的种属进化上的作用进行了简要讨论。     

Investigation of the mechanism of temperature sensitivity of the electroreceptors of ampullae of lorenzini

In experiments on Black Sea skates (Raja clavata), the potential of the receptor epithelium of the ampullae of Lorenzini and spike activity of single nerve fibers connected to them were investigated during electrical and temperature stimulation. Usually the potential within the canal was between 0 and –2 mV, and the input resistance of the ampulla 250–400 k. Heating of the region of the receptor epithelium was accompanied by a negative wave of potential, an increase in input resistance, and inhibition of spike activity. With worsening of the animal's condition the transepithelial potential became positive (up to +10 mV) but the input resistance of the ampulla during stimulation with a positive current was nonlinear in some cases: a regenerative spike of positive polarity appeared in the channel. During heating, the spike response was sometimes reversed in sign. It is suggested that fluctuations of the transepithelial potential and spike responses to temperature stimulation reflect changes in the potential difference on the basal membrane of the receptor cells, which is described by a relationship of the Nernst's or Goldman's equation type.I.

Determination of stoichiometry of radioiodination of proteins

A sensitive method for the detection of small quantities of hydrophobic antioxidant free radical scavengers such as butylatedhydroxytoluene (BHT) and butylatedhydroxyanisole (BHA) in aqueous samples is described. The procedure involves extraction of the hydrophobic free radical scavenger into an organic solvent phase, followed by the subsequent reaction of an aliquot of this extract with the stable cation radical tris(p-bromophenyl)amminium hexachloroantimonate (TBACA). In experiments with BHT and BHA, the loss of TBACA absorbance at 730 nm was found to be linearly proportional to the amount of antioxidant added, with quantities of BHT as small as 200 pmol being easily detectable. In aqueous suspensions of dimyristoylphosphatidylcholine vesicles, assays of the aqueous BHT concentration showed that BHT partitioned strongly into the membrane phase, achieving very high BHT/phospholipid ratios. For a given concentration of BHT, partitioning into the membrane phase was greater in large, multilamellar liposomes than in either small, single-walled vesicles or in purified rat brain synaptic vesicle membranes. Direct assay of BHT and BHA in phospholipid membranes, however, was complicated by a nonspecific interaction between TBACA and the phospholipid.
