Xizangia bartschioides (Hand.-Mazz.) D. Y. Hong——玄参科一新组合

虽然玄参科的马松蒿Xizangia serrata D．Y．Hong与齿叶翅茎草Petrygiella artschioides Hand．-Mazz．系同物异名,但齿叶翅茎草与翅茎草属其余4种植物在习性、叶、花萼等外部形态上有显著差异,在种皮方面的差异尤为突出。马松蒿属Xizangia 作为属的地位是合适的。因此,本文作了一个新组合,即XI-zangia bartschioides(Hand．-Mazz．)D．Y．Hong,而把Ptertrygiella bartschioides Hand．-Mazz．和Xizangia serrata D．Y. Hong均作异名处理。     

中国一些植物名称的修正

本文认为黄花长蕊草Changruicaoia flaviflora Z.Y.Zhu应是尖齿异野芝麻Helerolamium debile(Hemsl.)C.Y.Wuvar.tochauese(Kudo)C.Y.Wu的异名,Xizangia bartschioides(Hand,-Mazz.)D.Y.Hong为一晚出同名应予废弃,川八角莲的正确名称应是Dysosma delavayi(Fanch.)Hu。     

孔药花属(鸭跖草科)的核型研究

本文首次对鸭跖草科孔药花属Porandra Hong进行染色体研究。孔药花P．ramosa Hong和攀缘孔药花P．scandens Hong在染色体的大小、数目和形态上都十分相似,核型公式为2n＝36＝4m+26sm+6st(2sat),核型类型属于3B。染色体证据支持孔药花属与穿鞘花属Amischotolype和Coleotrype属相近的观点。     

鄂尔多斯草地退化过程中植被地上生物量空间分布的异质性

应用地统计学方法分析研究了鄂尔多斯草地荒漠化过程中植被地上生物量空间分布的异质性。发现从本氏针茅(Stipa bungeana)、本氏针茅 油蒿(Artemisia ordosicn)、油蒿、油蒿 牛心朴子(cynanchum komarovii)、牛心朴子群落的5个退化系列群落中,植被地上生物量空间格局异质化程度及其相关范围变化非常明显。变异函数的基台值(C0 C)在5个退化群落中的变化表明,在本氏针茅群落中,植被地上生物量空间分布异质性较低(0．48),本氏针茅 油蒿群落增强(19．47),油蒿群落显著增强(1522),油蒿 牛心朴子群落减弱(171．6),牛心朴子群落显著减弱(4．164)。变异函数的相关范围(A0)表明,在本氏针茅群落空间相关范围较小(53．9cm),本氏针茅 油蒿群落增加(77．8cm),油蒿群落减小(51．7cm),油蒿 牛心朴子群落增加(62．9cm),牛心朴子群落增加(94．6cm)。空间变异比分析表明,由空间自相关因素引起的空间异质性占主要部分(74．2％～80．7％)。空间分布格局图(Kriging map)分析进一步显示,退化群落中植被地上生物量格局变化显著。从本氏针茅群落退化到油蒿群落的中度荒漠化过程中,植被地上生物量空间分布的异质性的增强。由油蒿群落退化到牛心朴子群落的严重荒漠化过程中,植被地上生物量空间分布的异质性减弱。

滇西北马先蒿属传粉生物学的初步研究

对云南西北部的中甸和德钦高山地区４种马先蒿属（ＰｅｄｉｃｕｌａｒｉｓＬ．）植物的传粉生物学进行了观察。晚夏开花的马先蒿与传粉熊蜂（ＢｏｍｂｕｓＬａｔｒ．）的出现在物候上有一定的相关性。其中短管、无喙、无蜜腺的肉根马先蒿（Ｐ．ｒｏｙｌｅｉＭａｘｉｍ．）和茨口马先蒿（Ｐ．ｔｓｅｋｏｕｅｎｓｉｓＢｏｎａｔｉ）是由熊蜂工蜂震动花粉、背触式传粉,这与其花冠类型的较原始性有关;长管、具喙、无蜜腺的斑唇马先蒿（Ｐ．ｌｏｎｇｉｆｌｏｒａｖａｒ．ｔｕｂｉｆｏｒｍｉｓ（Ｋｌｏｔｚ．）Ｔｓｏｏｎｇ）和云南长管马先蒿（Ｐ．ｓｉｐｈｏｎａｎｔｈａＤｏｎ．ｖａｒ．ｄｅｌａｖａｙｉ（Ｆｒａｎｃｈ．）Ｔｓｏｏｎｇ）通过熊蜂工蜂震动花粉、腹触式传粉。长管类马先蒿在植株相对矮小的情况下,通过较长的花冠管具喙向外伸出以实现授粉,这可能是与其传粉熊蜂协同进化的结果。

陕北撂荒地上优势蒿类叶片解剖结构及其生态适应性

对陕北丘陵区撂荒地上处于自然恢复演替不同时期的3种优势种蒿类铁杆蒿（Artemisia gmelinii Web．）、茭蒿（Artemisia giraldii Pamp．）、猪毛蒿（Artemisia scoparia）的叶片解剖结构进行了观察研究的结果表明,随着演替序列的发展,3种蒿类的栅栏组织随演替时间的推移呈现出全栅型-环栅型-过渡型的趋势,叶片解剖结构说明越靠近演替前期的蒿类对干旱的适应性越强。此外,3种蒿类的栅栏组织排列都很紧密,表皮细胞排列不规则,且具有表皮毛和腺毛等旱生适应结构;在猪毛蒿和茭蒿中还发现了特化的气腔结构。这些特征均能说明这些蒿类植物具有很好的抗旱适应性,作为环境改造的先锋物种,它们在当地的自然植被恢复演替中起着积极的正向推动作用。     

辽宁沙参属两个种的补记及染色体数目

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.     

A Unique Protease Cleavage Site Predicted in the Spike Protein of the Novel Pneumonia Coronavirus (2019-nCoV) Potentially Related to Viral Transmissibility

正Dear Editor,In December 2019, a novel human coronavirus caused an epidemic of severe pneumonia(Coronavirus Disease 2019,COVID-19) in Wuhan, Hubei, China(Wu et al. 2020; Zhu et al. 2020). 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.     

鸡传染性法氏囊病病毒研究进展

传染性法氏囊病(Infection bursal disease, IBD)是由鸡传染性法氏囊病毒(Infectious bursal disease virus, IBDV)引起的鸡和火鸡的一种高度接触性传染病,给世界各国的禽养殖业带来了巨大损失.自IBDV发现至今新的变异株不断出现,分子结构的改变导致病毒致病力的改变及宿主对疫苗应答的改变,使得传统的疫苗已不能控制其流行,因此各国学者对其基因组结构和功能进行了广泛深入的研究,并积极研制新型有效的疫苗以达到防治的目的.     

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).
