寡糖对向日葵叶片细胞病程相关蛋白及细胞壁物质的诱导作用

用寡糖对向日葵叶片进行喷雾,研究了该寡糖对向日葵叶片细胞内几丁质酶和β-1,3-葡聚糖酶2种病程相关蛋白(PRs蛋白)以及木质素、富含羟脯氨酸蛋白(HRGP)2种细胞壁物质含量的影响.结果表明,经寡糖处理后,向日葵叶片中β-1,3-葡聚糖酶和几丁质酶的活性均升高,最高值分别比同期CK增加36.38%和6.35%;木质素及HRGP含量也诱导增加,最高值分别比同期CK显著增加39.15%和47.13%.在寡糖处理后接种病原菌的向日葵叶片中,β-1,3-葡聚糖酶及细胞壁物质被诱导合成,且合成量均较单独寡糖处理与单独接种锈菌处理要高.研究发现,诱导向日葵幼苗叶片的几丁质酶、β-1,3-葡聚糖酶活性增强和细胞壁木质素、HRGP含量增加,可能是寡糖预处理增强向日葵抗锈性的内在机制.

核黄素和接种番茄黄化曲叶病毒对番茄叶片防御酶活性的影响

AM真菌和胞囊线虫对大豆根内酶活性的影响*

将‘鲁豆4号’大豆接种丛枝菌根(AM)真菌聚生球囊霉Glomus fasiculatum和大豆胞囊线虫(SCN)Heterodera glycines 4号生理小种后, 定期测定大豆根系中AM真菌及线虫侵染速率、过氧化物酶(POD)、苯丙氨酸解氨酶(PAL)、β-1,3葡聚糖酶及几丁质酶活性的动态变化。结果表明, 接种AM真菌大豆根系中4种酶活性高于对照水平; 先接种AM真菌后接种SCN处理根系中POD、PAL及几丁质酶的活性高于只接种SCN的处理,并且酶活性峰值出现的时间均早于或相当于后者。另外,PAL及几丁质酶活性出现高峰时期也正是AM真菌侵染率迅速升高及线虫侵染速率快速下降期。因此,AM真菌先激活了大豆的防御反应,然后使其对SCN的侵染产生快速反应,PAL及几丁质酶在AM真菌诱导的抗、耐线虫病害机制中起重要作用。值得注意的是,先接种AM真菌后接种SCN处理大豆根系中,β-1,3葡聚糖酶活性低于只接种AM真菌的处理。作者认为本试验条件下,该酶在大豆抗SCN病害中的作用表现不明显。

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.

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.     

Entwicklungsgeschichte und Ultrastruktur von Pollenkitt und Exine bei nahe verwandten entomophilen und anemophilen Angiospermensippen derAlismataceae,Liliaceae, Juncaceae,Cyperaceae, Poaceae undAraceae

Some closely related members of the monocotyledonous familiesAlismataceae, Liliaceae, Juncaceae, Cyperaceae, Poaceae andAraceae with variable modes of pollination (insect- and wind-pollination) were studied in relation to the ultrastructure of pollenkitt and exine (amount, consistency and distribution of pollenkitt on the surface of pollen grains). The character syndromes of pollen cementing in entomophilous, anemophilous and intermediate (ambophilous or amphiphilous) monocotyledons are the same in principal as in dicotyledons. Comparing present with former results one can summarize: 1) The pollenkitt is always produced in the same manner by the anther tapetum in all angiosperm sub-classes. 2) The variable stickiness of entomophilous and anemophilous pollen always depends on the particular distribution and consistency of the pollenkitt, but not its amount on the pollen surface. 3) The mostly dry and powdery pollen of anemophilous plants always contains a variable amount of inactive pollenkitt in its exine cavities. 4) A step-by step change of the pollen cementing syndrome can be observed from entomophily towards anemophily. 5) From the omnipresence of pollenkitt in all wind-pollinated angiosperms studied one can conclude that the ancestors of anemophilous angiosperms probably have been zoophilous (i.e. entomophilous) throughout.
