禾谷镰刀菌粗毒素对不同抗性小麦品种成熟胚脱分化与再分化的影响

以5个赤霉病抗性水平不同的小麦品种为材料,研究了禾谷镰刀菌粗毒素对小麦成熟胚脱分化与再分化的影响.结果表明,小麦成熟胚愈伤组织的诱导率和分化率在品种间、毒素浓度间、毒素浓度×品种间差异极显著.低浓度（5 g/L）禾谷镰刀菌粗毒素能够促进抗性较强品种的出愈速度,高浓度禾谷镰刀菌粗毒素（10 g/L和15 g/L）对成熟胚愈伤组织的出愈速度起到抑制作用,随着浓度提高,抑制作用增强.成熟胚愈伤组织的诱导率和分化率随着禾谷镰刀菌粗毒素浓度升高而下降,品种的抗性越差下降幅度越大.10 g/L毒素浓度,5个品种成熟胚愈伤组织的SOD活性均比对照（0 g/L）增加;20 g/L毒素浓度,5个品种成熟胚愈伤组织的SOD活性均有所下降,抗性品种苏麦3号和郑9023的SOD活性仍高于对照,其它3个感性品种低于对照,SOD活性与小麦品种的赤霉病抗性水平存在一定关系.研究结果为小麦赤霉病抗性育种提供了一定的技术支撑.     

籼型杂交稻亲本成熟胚愈伤组织再生体系的建立

本文给出了6个籼型杂交稻亲本成熟胚愈伤组织再生体系建立优化措施。采用6个有重要育种价值的杂交籼稻亲本成熟胚盾片诱导愈伤组织作为分化再生的外植体,通过调节2,4-D浓度、培养基成分、接种方式、激素组合和愈伤组织分化途径,建立适合籼稻遗传转化的再生体系。结果表明,MB培养基是较为合适的愈伤组织诱导培养基类型,6个品种在MB培养基上的愈伤组织诱导率均在60％-80％之间。半粒米的接种方式能够明显提高愈伤组织诱导率,提高幅度达到28．2％。通过调节2,4-D浓度和激素组合,愈伤组织诱导率最高可达到97．9％,两步分化法和适当干燥处理能够提高愈伤组织的分化效率,6品种愈伤组织分化率均在50％-90％之间。初步建立了6个杂交籼稻亲本品种成熟胚愈伤组织的再生体系,为以后遗传转化奠定基础。     

影响小麦成熟胚再生频率因素的研究(简报)

以小麦成熟胚为外植体,研究了基本培养基、预处理类型、接种方式、植物激素的浓度和不同组合以及分化培养基中是否添加抗生素对愈伤组织诱导和分化的影响．在此基础上建立了一套高效的小麦成熟胚植株再生系统。经过试验,我们选择在MS培养基上接种经无菌水预处理的纵切成熟胚作为起始的试验条件。在含2mg／L2,4-D的MS培养基上．初级愈伤组织的诱导频率可达80％以上．在继代培养基中添加0．5mg／L6-BA和0．2mg／LNAA可以显著提高胚性愈伤组织的产生。而在再生培养基中加入适当浓度的头孢霉素可以有效提高胚性愈伤组织再生出小植株的比例。利用该再生系统,我们从5个小麦优良主栽品种的成熟胚再生出了可育的植株,再生频率达15．3％-34．5％。     

大麦成熟胚愈伤组织的诱导和植株再生的研究

以10个大麦优良品种为实验材料,成熟胚为外植体,研究基因型、种子的不同切割方式、培养基、激素等对大麦成熟胚愈伤组织的诱导及植株再生的影响.结果表明,种子纵切后接种出愈率显著高于横切;改良MS培养基能提高出愈率;在愈伤组织诱导过程中,不同品种对激素2,4-D与Dicamba的反应表现不同;初代愈伤组织经过3次继代培养后会转变为两种类型的胚性愈伤组织;不同品种的植株再生在不同浓度有机添加物的分化培养基上表现不同;长时间的继代培养,一些品种在植株再生过程中出现一定数量的白化苗.供试材料均能进行愈伤组织诱导,但是只有部分品种能再生植株.本实验筛选出愈伤组织诱导频率和绿苗分化率均较高,适合于遗传转化的受体材料,如87-3175、87-0053、97-4010、97-6004及208813-509.     

渗透胁迫条件下小麦成熟胚愈伤组织的诱导及植株再生的研究

用不同浓度的PEG6000及NaCl对5个小麦品种的成熟胚组织培养物进行处理,研究在渗透胁迫条件下基因型和激素对成熟胚愈伤组织的诱导及分化的影响。结果表明,小麦整株水平与细胞水平的抗性存在一定相关,不同基因型对干旱与盐胁迫的敏感程度不同,成熟胚愈伤组织的诱导率和植株再生率表现出明显的差异。初步得到了晋麦47、长武134、红芒麦的耐旱愈伤组织以及晋麦47、长武134的耐盐愈伤组织,并获得了晋麦47和长武134具有一定抗性的再生芽。     

小麦遗传转化受体系统建立的研究

选用‘小偃22’和‘宁春16’小麦品种的成熟胚和幼胚进行培养,研究不同种类的胚和培养因子对愈伤组织诱导和分化的影响。结果表明,幼胚和成熟胚的愈伤组织诱导率无明显差异,但较高浓度的2,4-D有利于成熟胚的诱导,而幼胚培养时2,4-D浓度的影响效果因品种而异;两种外植体分化率的高低与KT/IAA的配比均有密切关系,但高浓度的激素水平不利于成熟胚的分化;诱导培养基中低浓度的2,4-D有利于所诱导的愈伤组织的分化。同时,在诱导培养基中添加低浓度的KT能显著提高两品种成熟胚愈伤组织的分化率;各种培养基处理与品种间都存在显著的互作效应,‘小偃22’成熟胚培养的最佳培养基组合为MSD 3.0 mg/L 2,4-D和MSD 0.5 mg/LIAA 1.0 mg/L KT,幼胚培养为MSD 4.0 mg/L 2,4-D和MSD 0.5 mg/L IAA 1.0 mg/L KT;‘宁春16’成熟胚培养为MSD 4.0 mg/L 2,4-D和MSD 1.0 mg/L IAA 1.0 mg/L KT,幼胚培养时为MSD 1.0 mg/L 2,4-D和MSD 2.0 mg/L IAA 2.0 mg/L KT。     

几种影响籼稻成熟胚愈伤组织诱导及再生的因素

建立了适合5个籼稻品种成熟胚籼稻遗传转化的高效植株再生体系.N6基本培养基有利于籼稻愈伤组织的诱导和继代培养;N6大量元素和MS微量元素有利于愈伤组织的分化.降低分化培养基中蔗糖含量,加入适量山梨醇、Cu2 、Ag 和玉米素(2T)均可明显提高水稻愈伤组织的再生植株频率,5个品种分化频率均达到75%以上.     

小麦成熟胚愈伤组织诱导及分化研究

以2个小麦品种成熟胚为外植体进行离体培养,研究了不同预处理、不同2,4-D浓度及与KT组合、不同蔗糖浓度等因素对愈伤组织诱导及分化的影响。结果表明:4℃低温预处理可提高愈伤组织的出愈率及再生苗率,2个材料的出愈率及再生苗率均达到90%和30%以上;在不同预处理条件下,2,4-D浓度对出愈率及再生苗率的影响与基因型有关,2,4-D浓度为1~2 mg/L更有利于愈伤组织诱导及分化;附加KT能缓解高浓度2,4-D对再生苗率的抑制作用,而对于在1、2 mg/L 2,4-D的培养基中附加KT则不表现这种作用;蔗糖浓度则在30 g/L条件下更有利于愈伤组织诱导。因此通过4℃低温预处理,在MS基本培养基中附加1~2mg/L 2,4-D及30 g/L蔗糖亦可促进小麦成熟胚愈伤组织的诱导和分化。     

基因型和胚龄对小麦未成熟胚离体培养反应的影响

本文对34种基因型的小麦未成熟胚在离体培养中的反应进行了比较。结果表明,94％的供试基因型愈伤组织诱导率都可达到80％以上,若排除供体植株环境条件的不同和接种过程中的人为因素可能造成的影响,不同基因型的愈伤组织诱导率看来没有根本的差异。愈伤组织分化率因基因型的不同变动在0—60％之间,平均为32.7％。虽然同一基因型的盾片愈伤组织分化率在不同年份中有所不同,但是愈伤组织是否具有再生能力?看来是个稳定的遗传性状。因此小麦未成熟胚对愈伤组织诱导的反应和愈伤组织的再生能力可能具有不同的遗传基础。本文的结果还表明,虽然最适于培养的未成熟胚的大小为1毫米左右,伹小至0.3毫米的未成熱胚仍能以几乎100％的频率形成愈伤组织,60％左右的愈伤组织能分化出再生檀株,只是所需的时间比1毫米左右的胚较长。

Characteristics of the membranes of the pellicle of the ciliatePseudomicrothorax dubius

Summary The membranes of the pellicle of the ciliatePseudomicrothorax dubius are investigated using thin section electron microscopy and freeze-fracture replicas. The plasma membrane is covered by a surface coat and is connected to the outer alveolar membrane by short, sometimes branched, bridges. The inner alveolar membrane is coated on both sides. The epiplasm lies in intimate contact with the cytoplasmic surface of this membrane, and there is a corresponding deposit on the other surface. This deposit is regularly striated.The epiplasmic layer and the alveoli are interrupted at sites of cytotic activity,e.g., the attachment sites of trichocysts, the cytoproct, and the parasomal sacs. The striated deposit ends where the epiplasm ends, indicating a direct relationship between these two epimembranous layers.There is a deposit along the sides of the first part of the tip of the trichocysts, and in this region the trichocyst membrane is free of intramembranous particles.The membrane of the parasomal sacs has a coat on both surfaces. That on the extraplasmic surface is similar to the surface coat of the plasma membrane. The origin of the cytoplasmic coat is unknown. The cytotic activity of these sacs is indicated by their highly irregular profiles.     

The early development of the tail and the transformation of the shape of the nucleus of the spermatid of the domestic fowl,Gallus gallus

Summary The differentiation of the spermatid, especially in reference to the formation of the flagellum, and transformation of the shape of the nucleus was investigated in the domestic fowl.In the early stage of the spermatid, a prominent Golgi apparatus appears around the centrioles. The Golgi vesicles then surround the axial-filament complex which develops from the distal centriole. These vesicles fuse to form continuous membrane at the earliest stage of flagellar formation, and in the succeeding stage Golgi lamellae are attached to the plasma membrane of the developing flagellum. From these observations, it is assumed that Golgi apparatus may be a source of the membrane system of the flagellum.The microtubules distributed around the nucleus form the circular manchette. The anterior region of the nucleus with the manchette is cylindrical in shape and the posterior region without it remains irregular in shape. When the circular manchette has been completed, the whole nucleus acquires a slender cylindrical shape. The circular manchette then changes into the longitudinal manchette. The nuclei of spermatids without a longitudinal manchette are abnormal in shape. In view of these observations it is assumed that the nuclear shaping of the spermatid may be accomplished by circular manchette and the maintenance of shape of the elongated nucleus by longitudinal manchette.The authors wish to thank Mr. Takayuki Mori for his helpful suggestions and technical advices     

Characterization of the composition of the aqueous humor and the vitreous body of the eye of the frog Rana temporaria L

This study aimed to analyze the aqueous humor (AH) and the vitreous body (VB) of the eye of the adult frog Rana temporaria L. as a representative species of amphibians, which lead a semi-terrestrial life. The presence of collagen, albumin, uric acid and electron donors was shown in both media; however, there are slight differences in their concentrations. To determine collagen, a spectral-fluorescent probe, cyanine dye, was used. The presence of collagen in AH of the frog was found at the first time. The total content of electron donors (ascorbic and uric acids, tryptophan, and tyrosine) in VB and HA was roughly estimated at ~ 1.5 × 10^− 4 mol/L. Both VB and AH absorb light in similar UV regions. The total protein and albumin contents in AH were found to be somewhat higher than those in VB. The uric acid content was at an equally low level in both intraocular media. It is supposed that the similarity of VB and AH compositions shown in this work is due to some exchange between VB and AH contents in the course of accommodation. The role of intraocular fluids in physiological functions of the eye and in protecting the retina against UV light is discussed.     

Observations on the permeability of the choriocapillaris of the eye

Summary The choriocapillaris is a fenestrated capillary bed located posterior to the retinal pigment epithelium. It serves as the main source of supply to the photoreceptors, retinal pigment epithelium, and other cells of the outer retina. The permeability of these capillaries to intravenously injected ferritin (MW — approx. 480,000; mol. diam. 11 nm) was examined in the mouse, rabbit, and guinea pig, each of which is characterized by a different type of retinal vascularization. In all three species, the bulk of the ferritin remained in the capillary lumina, where it appeared to be blocked at the level of the diaphragmed fenestrae. Some ferritin was present in endothelial cell vacuoles. The results confirm previous work on the rat choriocapillaris and indicate that the barrier function of the choriocapillary endothelium is present even among species in which the retinal circulation differs significantly.Supported by NIH grant EY03418
