茌梨的花药以造孢组织越冬。第二年春,花芽萌动时形成小孢子母细胞。小孢子的发生为同时型。成熟花粉粒为2细胞型。4月初,珠心顶端第三层细胞中的造孢细胞发育为大孢子母细胞,属厚珠心型。胚囊发育属蓼型。胚发育始于4月下旬,受精卵进行横分裂,后经棒状原胚、球形原胚、心形胚和鱼雷形胚,至7月中旬幼胚逐渐成熟。胚的发育属藜型。胚乳发生为核型。茌梨大小孢子的发生和雌雄配子体的形成与花芽、花外形标志之间,有较稳定的相关性。胚和胚乳的发育与果实的生长有一定的相关性。     

辣椒花药培养胚状体发生的组织学和细胞学研究

采用荧光显微镜、扫描电镜和透射电镜技术．系统研究了辣椒花药培养胚状体发生的组织学和细胞学变化特征。辣椒单个花药中花粉发育具有强烈的不同步性。随着培养时期的变化．不同时期花粉的百分率也发生变化。处于单核靠边期的小孢子培养以后按两种发育途径之一进行发育。在多数情况下,孢子体不对称分裂,产生典型双核花粉。胚性花粉粒是由营养核的重复分裂形成的。当小孢子从四分体中释放出来．特殊类型的外壁已经形成。在随后的花粉发育过程中．小孢子体积增大,外壁继续加厚。培养24h后,小孢子体积增大。胚性发生的小孢子表现出两种不同的形态变化。当胚状体发育到心形胚时．胚状体的表皮细胞排列规则。用光学和电子显微镜分析了小孢子胚状体形态形成过程．及胚状体诱导后细胞组织发生的一系列结构变化的时序性特征,这些变化主要影响质体、液泡室、细胞壁和细胞核,进一步分化的程序模拟合子胚的发育。     

茴香组织培养中体细胞胚胎发生的组织细胞学研究

将茴香幼茎或叶柄的愈伤组织转入附加6-BA和低浓度2,4-D的MS培养基以后,愈伤组织逐步由松软状转变成为颗粒状的胚性愈伤组织,胚状体起源于胚性愈伤组织中的单个细胞或胚性细胞团。在含NAA和6-BA的培养基中,胚状体发育成熟,并再生小植株。茴香的胚状体主要以单细胞内起源方式发生。首先由胚状体单个原始细胞分裂形成2-细胞原胚,2-细胞原胚以三种方式进行分裂:1.T- 形分裂;2.直线形分裂;3.田字形分裂。不同的分裂方式决定了胚柄的有无。茴香胚状体的发育过程与合子胚基本相同。由原胚发育成为球形胚,依次经过心形胚和鱼雷胚阶段,形成成熟的子叶胚。在胚状体发育的每一个阶段,都有其分生组织的活动中心。球形胚期,两团分生组织位于胚体中部对应的两点;心形胚期,位于两侧和中部;鱼雷胚期,分生组织的分布在子叶形成区域呈倒“U”形,在下胚轴部位呈中空的梭形。到子叶期,分生组织从两片子叶伸向胚根,呈“Y”形分布。两子叶间产生茎生长点,由生长点分化出叶原基。胚状体最终发育成为完整植株。     

白杄体细胞胚胎发生的细胞组织学和淀粉积累动态的研究

以白木千（ＰｉｃｅａｍｅｙｅｒｉＲｅｈｄ．ｅｔＷｉｌｓ．）的成熟种胚为外植体,诱导体细胞胚胎发生。整体染色封片和组织切片的观察结果表明,白木千体细胞胚起源于胚性愈伤组织的单个细胞。胚性细胞经过一次不均等分裂产生两个细胞,即胚细胞和胚柄细胞。然后依次经过胚性胚柄团、球形胚、心形胚及鱼雷形胚阶段,最后发育成具有子叶的成熟胚。通过ＰＡＳ反应研究后发现,在体细胞胚发育过程中,淀粉粒在胚性胚柄团时期开始积累,至心形胚时期达到积累高峰,且淀粉粒的分布主要集中于胚柄细胞、分裂旺盛的胚细胞、器官原基及其附近细胞。据此结果推测淀粉的消长与体细胞胚发生的能量供应有关。

初始培养条件对定兴芥小孢子胚胎发生的影响

本文探索了油菜花药培养中小孢子胚早期发育的适宜条件。花药分步悬浮法第一培养基的简化实验表明,小孢子胚在仅含有20%蔗糖的空白培养基上的诱导率(212%)与对照的(202%)无显著差异。这样,第一培养基便从原Keller培养基简化为不含大量、微量和有机元素而仅含有20%蔗糖的水溶液,并且,花药第一阶段的培养时间从原来的3—5天减少到1.5—2天。此外,研究了花药在蔗糖水溶液上的滞留时间对小孢子胚胎早期发育的影响。滞留36～48小时,小孢子胚的诱导率(135%)最佳。考察小孢子胚胎早期发育的状况与不同滞留时间的关系则发现,36—48小时内每100个活细胞里,膨大细胞约占70%。这表明,早期培养时,花粉只要膨大而不需分裂即可转入第二阶段培养,便可获得较高产率的胚状体。     

问题解答

问:“原胚”是指植物胚胎发育过程中的哪个时期? 答:在植物胚胎发育过程中,合子先横裂一次形成顶端细胞和基细胞。一般基细胞发育成胚柄,在胚胎发育成熟时已经退化消失;由顶端细胞发育成胚的本体。顶端细胞经多次分裂形成一团细胞,随后由于平周分裂有了表皮原和基本分生组织的分化,此时胚体呈圆球形,称为球形胚时期。后来由于胚体上半部两侧的细胞分裂较快,形成两个小突起,为子叶原基,使胚体呈心脏形,称为心形胚时期(指双子叶植物)。随着胚器官发育的完成,形成成熟的胚。在子叶原基出现以前,从顶端细胞分裂到球形胚时期都可称为胚胎发育的“原胚”阶段。     

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.

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).
