花序开放程度、栽培温度和贮藏条件对菊花品种‘钟山金阳’花粉萌发的影响

采用离体培养法和杂交实验法,以菊花品种‘钟山金阳’(Chrysanthemum morifolium‘Zhongshanjinyang’)为实验材料,比较了不同的花序开放程度(花序开放天数和散粉阶段)、栽培温度和贮藏条件对其花粉萌发的影响。离体培养结果表明:在花序开放的第2至第7天花粉萌发率为22.6%~17.3%,第9天为7.7%,第11天仅为2.8%;在散粉的第1阶段(第1和第2轮管状花散粉)和第2阶段(第3和第4轮管状花散粉)花粉萌发率分别为19.5%和17.8%,第3阶段(全部管状花散粉)花粉萌发率仅为9.4%,表明随花序的开放和散粉阶段的延续,花粉萌发率均呈逐渐降低的趋势。在昼/夜温度5℃/0℃、10℃/5℃、15℃/10℃、20℃/15℃、25℃/20℃和30℃/25℃条件下栽培一定时间,其花粉萌发率和花粉管长度均有明显差异;其中,10℃/5℃栽培组培养4.0 h的花粉萌发率最高(23.0%),而30℃/25℃栽培组培养0.5 h的花粉萌发率最低(1.2%);15℃/10℃和20℃/15℃栽培组培养4.0 h的花粉管长度较长(分别为144.4和146.1μm),而30℃/25℃栽培组培养0.5 h的花粉管长度最短(38.3μm)。在不同贮藏温度下[4℃、-20℃和室温(约25℃)],新鲜和干燥花粉的萌发率均随贮藏时间的延长逐渐下降,但降幅存在明显差异;其中,新鲜花粉贮藏12 d后花粉萌发率从21.4%降至5.0%以下,干燥花粉贮藏26 d后花粉萌发率降至5.0%以下;总体上看,干燥花粉的萌发率和贮藏时间均高于新鲜花粉,以-20℃条件下贮藏的干燥花粉萌发率最高且可贮藏至50 d以内。杂交实验结果显示:用不同栽培温度下的品种‘钟山金阳’的花粉对品种‘钟山粉碟’(‘Zhongshanfendie’)进行人工授粉,在柱头上花粉萌发数差异明显;其中,10℃/5℃栽培组的花粉萌发数最多(55.5),30℃/25℃栽培组的花粉萌发数最少(8.8),且二者间差异显著(P0.05)。综合分析结果表明:花序开放天数、散粉阶段、栽培温度及贮藏条件对菊花品种‘钟山金阳’的花粉萌发率均有明显影响。根据研究结果,建议菊花品种‘钟山金阳’花粉的最佳采集时期为花序开放的7 d内且为第1至第4轮管状花散粉阶段,栽培温度应维持在10℃左右,而且采集的花粉应置于-20℃干燥条件下贮藏。     

Ectogenesis and the case against the right to the death of the foetus

Ectogenesis, or the use of an artificial womb to allow a foetus to develop, will likely become a reality within a few decades, and could significantly affect the abortion debate. We first examine the implications for Judith Jarvis Thomson’s violinist analogy, which argues for a woman’s right to withdraw life support from the foetus and so terminate her pregnancy, even if the foetus is granted full moral status. We show that on Thomson’s reasoning, there is no right to the death of the foetus, and abortion is not permissible if ectogenesis is available, provided it is safe and inexpensive. This raises the question of whether there are persuasive reasons for the right to the death of the foetus that could be exercised in the context of ectogenesis. Eric Mathison and Jeremy Davis have examined several arguments for this right, doubting that it exists, while Joona Räsänen has recently criticized their reasoning. We respond to Räsänen’s analysis, concluding that his arguments are unsuccessful, and that there is no right to the death of the foetus in these circumstances.     

On the diversity of the Cladocera in the tropics

The mythical concept of an impoverished tropical cladoceran fauna is refuted. On a planetary scale, around half of the cladoceran species presently known occur exclusively in the tropics-subtropics, often with considerable restriction to particular geographical subzones. On a regional (political) scale, the situation is often unclear because of the continued fragmentary nature of studies, and because political units are not a good basis for biogeographical comparisons. At the finest level of resolution (lake-perlake comparisons), there appears to be an upper limit of c. 50 cladoceran species per individual lake. No significant difference between lakes in the temperate zone and in the tropics could be established here. Daphnia is largely absent from the tropics, but is replaced by more Sidids, Moinids, and Bosminids, such that the average cladoceran community in the limnetic zone of a tropical lake is not characterized by less species but rather by lower population densities. This, in turn, is considered a consequence of higher prevalent predation levels in the tropics.     

Tubular networks in the terminal endings of the visual receptor cells in the human,the monkey,the cat and the dog

Summary A tubular network was found in the terminal endings of the visual receptor cells in the human, the monkey (Macaca mulatta), the cat and the dog. These tubules are arranged in close groups in the vicinity of the synaptic lamellae and the invaginated dendrites. According to the form, diameter, density of the tubules and to the consistence of the network formed by them one can distinguish at these places an initial type (type I), a transitory (type II) and a vesicular one (type III). In the the type III branching, bizarre forms are frequent. The diameter of all the tubules reaches 500–600 Å, their density and walls being the same as in the synaptic vesicles.Similar networks also occur in the axons of the visual receptor cells of the monkey.

Zusammenfassung In den Endigungen der Photorezeptorzellen von Mensch, Affe (Macaca mulatta), Katze und Hund kommen aus Tubuli bestehende Komplexe vor. Organellenartig in geschlossenen Gruppen angeordnet, liegen sie in Nähe der synaptischen Lamellen und der invaginierten Dendriten. An diesen Stellen kann man nach Form, Durchmesser, Dichte und Konsistenz der von den Tubuli gebildeten Komplexe drei Typen unterscheiden: 1. einen initialen (Typus I), 2. einen Übergangstypus (Typus II) und 3. einen vesiculären Typus (Typus III). In letzterem kommen häufig verzweigte, bizarre Formen vor. Der Durchmesser sämtlicher Tubuli erreicht 500–600 Å. Ihre Dichte und ihre Wand gleicht denen der synaptischen Vesikel.Ähnliche Komplexe fanden wir auch in den Axonen der Photorezeptorzellen vom Affen.

     

Assessing the Physiological State of the Fucoids from the Barents Sea Littoral by the End of the Polar Night

Methods of amperometry and potentiometric titration were used to follow dark respiration (DR) and apparent photosynthesis (AP) in the fucoids Ascophyllum nodosum (L.) Le Jol, Fucus vesiculosus L., and F. serratus L. from the Barents Sea littoral by the end of the 40-day-long polar night. The macroalgae were shown to manifest species-specific low rates of photosynthesis and respiration. However, in spite of their low photosynthetic status due to the effects of subzero temperature and prolonged low or zero illumination, the macroalgae have been able to restore DR and AP to the initial level already by the day 9; the ability to restore AP depended on the level of illumination. The study of the changes in the carbonate–bicarbonate system in the light and darkness demonstrated that the macroalgae grown in darkness, in contrast to those grown in twilight, could absorb bicarbonate in darkness; however, they lost this capacity after two-day-long illumination at an irradiance of 7 mol/(m² s). Bicarbonate uptake in darkness and the capacity to restore the systems of photosynthesis and respiration in fucoid cells are discussed in the context of algal energy metabolism under the polar night conditions.     

Arranging the elements of the potassium channel: the T1 domain occludes the cytoplasmic face of the channel

The voltage-gated potassium channel is currently one of the few membrane proteins where functional roles have been mapped onto specific segments of sequence. Although high-resolution structures of the transmembrane portions of three bacterial potassium channels, the tetramerization domain and the cytoplasmic ball are available, their relative spatial arrangement in mammalian channels remains a matter of ongoing debate. Cryo-electron microscopic images of the six transmembrane voltage-gated Kv channel have been reconstructed at up to 18 Å resolution, revealing that the T1 domain tetramerizes and is suspended below the transmembrane segments. However, the resolution of these images is insufficient to reveal the location of the third piece of the puzzle, the inactivating ball domain. We have used the aberrant interactions observed in a series of chimæric channels to establish that an assembled T1 domain restricts access to the cytoplasmic face of the channel, suggesting that the N-terminal ball and chain may be confined in the space between the T1 domain and the transmembrane portion of the channel.     

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
