高温干旱对不同品种辣椒生长及呼吸作用的影响

研究了高温干旱胁迫对不同品种辣椒生长及呼吸作用的影响。结果表明,高温胁迫对正椒13号的生长无影响,对鸡爪×吉林的生长稍有抑制;干旱及高温干旱严重地抑制了辣椒的生长。干旱导致叶片相对电导率的增加高于高温,而高温加剧了干旱伤害程度,并且对鸡爪×吉林的伤害更大。高温处理引起了辣椒总呼吸、细胞色素呼吸和交替呼吸的增加。干旱胁迫抑制了细胞色素呼吸,但诱导了交替呼吸的增强;高温干旱共同胁迫加剧了总呼吸和细胞色素呼吸的下降,交替呼吸只在胁迫第一天被促进,随后立即下降。高温、干旱和高温干旱胁迫下正椒13号表现出了较鸡爪×吉林更强的交替呼吸和总呼吸。说明高温、干旱和高温干旱胁迫下辣椒保持较高的总呼吸和交替呼吸与其抗高温和/或干旱能力相关。

高温胁迫对华北地区冬小麦灌浆及产量的影响

冬小麦灌浆期高温是制约我国北方冬小麦产量的一个重要气候因素,随着全球气候变暖,日趋频繁的极端温度事件可能引起该地区冬小麦产量的大幅波动。为了明确冬小麦灌浆期异常高温对冬小麦产量的影响程度,在河北固城生态与农业气象试验站自然大田条件下,采用自由空气红外辐射增温技术,开展了冬小麦灌浆中后期短期高温处理模拟试验。结果表明,灌浆中后期短期高温胁迫致使冬小麦灌浆速率下降及灌浆持续时间缩短从而使粒重降低,在消除了影响粒重的其它因素的作用后,短期高温处理期间的午间平均冠层气温与粒重之间存在显著的负线性相关关系。高温对冬小麦产量的威胁程度由高温强度及其持续时间两个因素决定。结合了高温强度及其持续时间综合作用的高温有效度时被证明是一个能全面反映灌浆中后期高温胁迫影响的特征量。

高温对稻褐飞虱发育与生殖的影响

通过高温处理及交配产卵实验,探讨了高温对稻褐飞虱Nilaparvata lugens (Stal)发育与生殖的影响。研究了不同高温条件对褐飞虱若虫发育历期、产卵量、产卵前期、寿命等生物学特性的影响。34℃以上高温导致褐飞虱若虫发育历期延长。高温处理4龄若虫使羽化后的雌成虫产卵量减少。高温处理不同日龄雌成虫也致使其产卵量减少,其中以1日龄短翅型、3日龄长翅型的产卵量影响最大。高温处理后褐飞虱寿命缩短。高温恒温处理,对短翅型雌成虫的产卵前期影响不大,但能延长长翅型雌成虫的产卵前期;而高温变温处理致使短、长翅型雌成虫的产卵前期均延长。高温变温对褐飞虱生殖的影响程度大于高温恒温。高温处理组雌、雄成虫与对照组相应的成虫交配试验表明,高温对雌性的影响大于雄性。实验初步确定34℃为对褐飞虱发育与生殖产生影响的临界温度。     

高山植物圆锥南芥的光合系统耐热性及其修复机制(英文)

高温胁迫包括极端高温和中高温,严重影响了植物的一系列生理活动,尤其是光合作用,而植物应对极端高温和中高温胁迫具有不同的策略。高山植物因长期生长于相对寒冷的环境中,相比而言应缺少对高温胁迫的适应机制。本文以圆锥南芥作为一种高山模式植物来探索其在中高温下是否表现出耐热能力,如果具有耐热能力,那么在光合方面与拟南芥存在怎样的差异。研究发现,圆锥南芥在中高温处理后具有更高的光化学效率及快速可逆的恢复过程,表现出了较强的耐热能力。两物种的F0没有明显的差异,而圆锥南芥在热处理后及恢复过程中具有更高的Fm,促进其快速光合修复。在热处理后,非光化学能量耗散快速瞬时上升,及时保护光系统II免受光损伤和热伤害,另外,HSP101蛋白迅速诱导可能启动了光化学修复。最后,圆锥南芥在严重高温处理后具有更高的存活率再次验证了它在中高温下的耐热能力。结果表明,圆锥南芥具有更耐热的光合系统以及有效的光合修复机制来耐受中高温胁迫。

高山植物圆锥南芥的光合系统耐热性及其修复机制?

水稻在抽穗开花期对高温胁迫非常敏感,通过挖掘耐热资源,培育耐热水稻品种是应对高温热害最有效的方式。前期研究发现,地方稻资源D43在花期连续高温条件下能保持较高的结实率。本研究在大田和人工气候室不同高温处理下,分析了D43的开花时间与耐热性之间的相互关系。结果表明,高温能够使水稻的开花时间提前,D43表现出稳定的早花时特性,高温胁迫下的开花时间集中在8∶30~10∶00;在开花时间段恒定高温胁迫下,D43的结实率较低;但在大田高温和人工气候室模拟高温胁迫下,D43的开花时间避开了日高温段,从而表现出较高的结实率;花器官形态性状包括花药开裂率、柱头上的花粉附着数、花粉萌发数与结实率之间呈显著正相关,因此可用于评价水稻的花期耐热性。     

Selection of Cultured Tobacco Cell Strains Producing High Levels of Ubiquinone 10 by a Cell Cloning Technique

Strains producing high levels of ubiquinone 10 were isolated from tobacco cell suspension cultures by a cell cloning technique, and the UQ content of these cell strains was analyzed by high performance liquid chromatography. Three strains with high UQ yields in suspension culture were selected and used for investigations on the necessary cultural conditions for UQ production. Sucrose concentration, 2,4-D concentration and culture temperature did not have marked effects on UQ formation. These results differed from those of the original cell lines. Furthermore, the addition of yeast extract to the medium promoted cell growth in these strains remarkably but did not enhance UQ production in the cell strains. According to these investigations, UQ production was increased to 15mg/liter and the UQ level to 1890 μg/g dry wt. of cells after 11 days of incubation.     

Biomolecular sample considerations essential for optimal performance from cryogenic probes

For compounds dissolved in non-polar solvents, nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopic investigations have benefited greatly from the advent of cryogenically cooled probes. Unfortunately the allure of significant increases in sensitivity may not be realized for compounds such as metabolites that are dissolved in solvents with high ionic-strengths such as solutions typically utilized for metabolomic or biomolecular investigations. In some cases there is little benefit from a cryogenically cooled probe over a conventional room temperature probe. Various sample preparation methods have been developed to minimize the detrimental effects of salt; for large numbers of metabolomic samples these preparation methods tend to be onerous and impractical. An alternative to manipulating the sample, is to utilize a probe that is designed to have a higher tolerance for solutions with high ionic-strengths. In order to acquire high-quality optimal data and choose the appropriate probe configuration (especially important for comparative quantitative investigations) the effects of salts and buffers on cryogenic probe performance must be understood. Herein we detail sample considerations for two cryogenic probes, a standard 5 mm and a narrow diameter 1.7 mm, in an effort to identify via integrals, intensities and noise levels the optimal choice for biomolecular investigations.     

周期性重复高温对昆虫的生态学效应

在自然界,昆虫经常经历以几天为周期的重复高温。这种周期性重复高温对昆虫的影响主要有3种作用模式:周期性重复高温与对应恒温比较、昆虫的不同发育阶段经历不同的周期性重复高温和昆虫的一生经历不同的周期性重复高温。同恒温条件下的昆虫相比,重复高温作用后的昆虫生殖量降低、寿命延长。重复高温作用于昆虫不同生活史阶段导致的存活率不同,重复高温作用于昆虫的发育阶段越接近成虫,其生殖量越易受到影响。高温持续天数增多,昆虫存活率、生殖量降低;但一定范围内的高温天数有助于昆虫寿命的延长。重复高温对昆虫的影响程度还因植食性昆虫和天敌昆虫种类的不同而异。本文根据近年来的研究,结合相关的研究文献,从周期性重复高温的温度变化模式及这些温度模式对昆虫生态指标、内在机理等方面产生的影响进行了综述,并建议未来的研究将充分结合自然温度变化进行模拟,增强研究的实用性;扩大考察指标范围并建立考察指标间的联系,拓展研究对象。     

Circular dichroism of prophenol oxidase in relation to the structural stability in Drosophila melanogaster

Circular dichroism (CD) of purified Drosophila melanogaster prophenol oxidase has been measured in the range of 195-245 nm. So far, few investigations about the interaction on higher-order structures have been performed. CD spectra of Drosophila prophenol oxidase with 2-propanol activator showed fluctuation of alpha-helices. At a high temperature of 80 degrees C, prophenol oxidase was partially denatured. However, it showed reversible recovery by renaturation after returning to low temperature at 30 degrees C. The conformational changes and reversible denaturation-renaturation interaction of the prophenol oxidase protein are discussed.

Preface: New challenges in anostracan research,a tribute to Graziella Mura

Although conjugating algae are considered to have a cosmopolitan freshwater distribution, numerous ecological and taxonomic investigations revealed that many desmid taxa (at the level of genus, species and variety) are capable of occupying specific geographic zones, characterized by particular climatic attributes. Earlier studies have dealt with influences of temperature and irradiation (photosynthetically active radiation and ultraviolet radiation) on the physiology and ultrastructure of desmids. Yet, recent investigations demonstrated a clear relationship between these climatic factors and the distributional potential of conjugating algae, taking into account their photosynthetic, physiological and ultrastructural adaptations which had been revealed during and after certain temperature and irradiation treatments. Despite the fact that desmids can be considered as high-light-adapted algae, various species- and strain-specific characteristics and adaptations appeared in accordance with the light intensities predominating at their source localities, as estimated by their photosynthetic performance (obtained from PAM fluorometry and oxygen evolution measurements), pigment composition and morpho-anatomical characteristics. Interestingly, the high-light adaptation of photosynthesis as well as the relatively high growth temperature optima for majority of the desmid species investigated may provide some support for Coesel’s hypothesis on the origin of desmids in the tropical zone.     

The Relationship between Flower Abortion and Endogenous Auxin Content of Rose Shoots

The amount of endogenous growth substances in stem, flowers and leaves of rose plants grown under different temperature and light conditions has been determined. It appeared to be two main growth promoting factors in the acidic fraction of the ether extract. One of them is assumed to be an auxin, probably indol-3yl-acetic acid (IAA); the other is not identified. The level of auxin was much higher in extracts from shoots grown at high temperature than in shoots grown at low temperature. Increasing light intensity also seemed to increase the auxin content of the shoots. Shoots which developed after a high cut back of the rose stem had a higher auxin content than shoots which developed after a low cut back. These findings are discussed in relation to the effect of temperature, light intensity and cut back practise on blind shoot formation in roses. The result of these investigations strongly indicate that abortion in roses is promoted by a low auxin level in the shoots.     

On Some Logical Uncertainties in Genetics and their Significance

Amylose azure can be used as a chromogenic substrate for α-amylase in studying the effects of temperature and pH on enzyme action. This is a model system which students can use to measure the energy of activation using the Arrhenius plot. The temperature coefficient can also be determined. Further laboratory investigations can be designed to measure optimum pH under varying conditions and the effects of activators on the system.

This paper reviews a-amylase action with respect to temperature and pH. Further investigations are suggested.     

Cryogenic solid state NMR studies of fibrils of the Alzheimer’s disease amyloid-β peptide: perspectives for DNP

Dynamic Nuclear Polarization solid-state NMR holds the potential to enable a dramatic increase in sensitivity by exploiting the large magnetic moment of the electron. However, applications to biological solids are hampered in uniformly isotopically enriched biomacromolecules due to line broadening which yields a limited spectral resolution at cryogenic temperatures. We show here that high magnetic fields allow to overcome the broadening of resonance lines often experienced at liquid nitrogen temperatures. For a fibril sample of the Alzheimer’s disease β-amyloid peptide, we find similar line widths at low temperature and at room temperature. The presented results open new perspectives for structural investigations in the solid-state.
