桤木叶中三萜成分的研究

桤木(Alnus hirsuta Turcz.)是桦木科赤杨属植物,为落叶乔木。据植保人员观察,种植在猕猴桃果园四周的桤木对危害猕猴桃的害虫有诱集作用,当猕猴桃果园四周种上桤木时,象鼻虫和金龟子等害虫倾向于聚集在这种树上。为阐明其内在原因,我们首次对该植物叶的化学成分进行了初步研究。元素分析用1106型元素分析仪;质谱用7070-HF型色-质联用仪(EI);红外光谱用Nieolet FT-IR型红外光谱仪(KBr压片);氢谱、碳谱及DEPT谱用XL-200型核磁共振谱仪     

果园功能植物的筛选、配置及应用

功能植物在农田景观中发挥着重要的生态服务功能,可为果园提供蜜粉源、作为天敌避难所、作为栖境植物、驱避害虫、提高土壤肥力等多种服务。近年来,功能植物种植已成为果园病虫害生态调控的手段之一,并被国内外众多科学家所验证。但大多数都仅仅针对一两种植物进行研究,而对于果园功能植物的应用、筛选及配置等分析较少。本文基于国内外果园功能植物研究进展,结合作者3年来在胶东半岛果园内外功能植物的调查,提出了果园功能植物的筛选及配置原则,并以此用于指导烟台苹果园害虫生态调控的实践中,由此进一步展望了未来果园功能植物的发展方向,旨在为果园利用功能植物开展害虫生态调控提供参考。     

黄土高原苹果园植物多样性及其对昆虫群落的影响

对陕西黄土高原洛川县和黄陵县优质苹果产区不同类型的苹果园植物多样性及其昆虫群落多样性进行调查,确定不同苹果园内果树林下的植物优势种,并利用昆虫多样性指数和均匀度指数分析不同植物优势种群对果园昆虫多样性的影响,以探讨植物群落多样性与其昆虫群落的关系.结果显示:(1)果园野生植物种类丰富,共有24科53属62种,其中17科41属51种存在于果园树下,11种存在于果园内的生境岛屿,且菊科植物种类最多,达14种;(2)抱茎苦荬菜、狗尾草、丝毛飞廉、灰绿藜、刺儿菜、田旋花为该地区果园植物优势种,其重要值依次为0.36、0.22、0.22、0.18、0.17、0.14;(3)反枝苋为优势种的果园昆虫种类、数量最多;(4)刺儿菜和田旋花为优势种的果园益虫和害虫的多样性指数分别为1.073 5、0.755 0和0.879 9、0.360 2.研究表明,在果园保留刺儿菜和田旋花有助于提高果园天敌昆虫群落的多样性,有益于果园害虫的生态控制.     

17种桤木属植物的亲缘关系研究及模糊种鉴定

利用AFLP分子标记结合形态学指标,采用UPGMA法进行聚类分析,对桤木属17个种57份材料进行了亲缘关系研究及一个模糊种鉴定。结果表明：7对引物扩增出369条带,其中346个多态位点,多态位点百分率为93.77%;根据AFLP标记位点聚类分析,在相似系数为0.782时,17种桤木属植物可分为4类,第一类为日本桤木(Alnus japonica);第二类为绿桤木(A.viridis)、意大利桤木(A.cordata)、欧洲桤木(A.glutinosa)、模糊种、四川桤木(A.cremastogyne)、江南桤木(A.trabeculosa)、斑点桤木(A.incana ssp.rugosa)、东北亚灰桤木(A.hirsuta)、台湾桤木(A.formosana)、日本特有桤木(A.firma)和裂叶桤木(A.sinuata);第三类为灰桤木(A.incana)、红桤木(A.rubra)及薄叶桤木(A.tenifolia);第四类喜马拉雅灰桤(A.nitida)和尼泊尔桤木(A.nepalensis)。根据形态学聚类分析,在距离为1.4时可分为三类,意大利桤木(A.cordata)单独为一类;日本桤木(A.japonica)、台湾桤木(A.formosana)、喜马拉雅灰桤木(A.nitida)、江南桤木(A.trabeculosa)和东北亚灰桤木(A.hirsuta);第三类包括模糊种、灰桤木(A.incana)、斑点桤木(A.incana ssp.rugosa)、裂叶桤木(A.sinuata)、红桤木(A.rubra)、欧洲桤木(A.glutinosa)、绿桤木(A.viridis)、四川桤木(A.cremastogyne)、薄叶桤木(A.tenuifolia)和尼泊尔桤木(A.nepalensis)。经形态特征和AFLP分析鉴定模糊种为欧洲桤木。形态学聚类与AFLP聚类结果基本一致,但仍存在一定的差异,说明桤木属植物遗传背景丰富,种的分子分类地位和形态学分类地位具有一定的差异。     

四川灌县地区桤木害虫调查及防治意见

桤术(Alnus cremastogync Burk.)生长迅速,喜生长于河岸、溪旁等比较潮湿的地方,是护岸固沙的良好树种,也是制作胶合板、矿柱以及拦洪水椿的良好用材。在四川的川西平原,不仅沿岷江两岸有天然或人工栽植的桤木林,而且在田边、溪旁、沟旁及住宅四周到处都有散生桤水。可是在桤木生长过程中,经常遭受到许多食叶害虫的为害,严重影响其生长。笔者于1958年5至9月在四川灌县作了调查,并对主要虫种的生活习性及防治方法进行过一些观察和试验。现兹将结果初步整理于后,供进一步研究和防治的参考。

滇东南岩溶山地3种人工林群落林下植物群落学特征比较

通过样地法比较了川滇桤木(Alnusferdinandi-coburgii)、墨西哥柏(Cupressuslusitanica)、银荆(Acaciadealbata)3个人工林群落林下植物和次生灌丛的群落学特征。结果发现,3个群落都以高位芽植物为主,其次为地面芽植物;在高位芽植物中又都以小高位芽植物比例较高;其叶型谱以中型叶为主。生活型谱和叶型谱都与滇中亚热带常绿阔叶林的群落相似。从3种人工林的群落学特征看,以川滇桤木林的水热条件最好;川滇桤木林的物种多样性最高,说明川滇桤木林林下植物种类成分复杂,生境优越,群落破坏后恢复能力最强,最有利于向顶极演替发展。     

传统农业生态系统中桤木改良土壤效应研究综述

桤木(Alnus nepalensis)是一种重要的非豆科固氮植物,广泛分布于喜马拉雅山脉东部地区。在东南亚地区的传统农业生态系统中,多用桤木作为休耕树种,或将其与农作物间作。桤木根瘤固氮量随季节和年龄而变化,在桤木-小豆蔻(Elettaria cardamomum)系统中15年达到高峰(155 kg·hm^-2);桤木通过共生固氮对系统产生的氮增加量在纯桤木林中7年达到高峰(117 kg·hm^-2)。桤木与农作物间作可显著提高农作物的产量,桤木-小豆蔻立地上小豆蔻的经济产量是在森林-小豆蔻立地上的2.2倍。桤木休闲地的休闲效果明显好于自然休闲地,其地上部分生物量在休闲6年后是自然休闲地的4倍,N蓄积量是自然休闲地的3倍,P、K蓄积量是自然休闲地的2倍。桤木根系特征似乎最适合混农林系统,其细根生物量(FRB)集中于土壤剖面上层10 cm范围内,在此范围内,FRB在“树+农作物”间作条件下比在“只有树”条件下高5%;在两种立地条件下,60%以上的细根都分布于树干周围0.5 m内,大部分木质根(直径>0.5 mm)都分布于土壤上层0~10 cm处,长度都不超过1 m。桤木可加速系统的养分循环。桤木凋落物降解速率比非固氮植物快,并且与其它植物凋落物混合后的降解速率与自身凋落物降解速率一样快。在传统刀耕火种系统中,用桤木替代自然林休闲在3~6年内即可恢复土壤肥力,改善土壤理化性质,显著缩短休闲周期。该文综述了近30年来桤木在传统农业生态系统中改良土壤效应的研究成果,以提高人们对桤木的生态作用的重视程度,使人们更好地将桤木利用到农业生态系统中,达到发展山区农业和保护生态环境双赢的目的。     

荔枝果园植物群落动态变化及其对昆虫多样性的影响

果园生态系统的植物多样性是害虫天敌多样性的基础。以广西横县境内莲州路荔枝果园为样本,调查其中草本植物的种类和数量,从群落物种的4个特征指数(丰富度指数、多样性指数、均匀度指数及优势集中性指数)来分析果园植被多样性状况及季节性变化规律;同时调查分析果园栖生昆虫的种类、数量和4个相关性指数,探讨果园植被多样性与昆虫多样性的相关关系。结果表明,4～9月间,果园植物多样性指数在0.842～1.370之间;物种均匀度指数在0.445～0.659之间;优势集中性指数在0.326～0.518之间。昆虫与植被多样性指数峰值出现的时间基本同步,都在5～6月间。植被多样性指数较小起伏可导致昆虫多样性指数较大波动,说明栖息地植被多样性变化对昆虫群落的结构和组成产生较大影响,昆虫多样性与栖息地植被多样性密切相关。     

Recent advances in the study of Kaposi's sarcoma-associated herpesvirus replication and pathogenesis

It has now been over twenty years since a novel herpesviral genome was identified in Kaposi's sarcoma biopsies. Since then, the cumulative research effort by molecular biologists, virologists, clinicians, and epidemiologists alike has led to the extensive characterization of this tumor virus, Kaposi's sarcoma-associated herpesvirus(KSHV; also known as human herpesvirus 8(HHV-8)), and its associated diseases. Here we review the current knowledge of KSHV biology and pathogenesis, with a particular emphasis on new and exciting advances in the field of epigenetics. We also discuss the development and practicality of various cell culture and animal model systems to study KSHV replication and pathogenesis.

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.     

Synthesis and antimicrobial studies of hydrazone derivatives of 4-[3-(2,4-difluorophenyl)-4-formyl-1H-pyrazol-1-yl]benzoic acid and 4-[3-(3,4-difluorophenyl)-4-formyl-1H-pyrazol-1-yl]benzoic acid

Microbial resistance to antibiotics is an unresolved global concern, which needs urgent and coordinated action. One of the guidelines of the Centers for Disease Control and Preventions (CDC) to combat antibiotic resistance is the development of new antibiotics to treat drug-resistant bacteria. In our effort to find new antibiotics, we report the synthesis and antimicrobial studies of 30 new pyrazole derivatives. These novel molecules have been synthesized by using readily available starting materials and benign reaction conditions. Some of these molecules have shown activity with MIC values as low as 0.78?µg/mL against four bacterial strains; Staphylococcus aureus, methicillin-resistant S. aureus, Bacillus subtilis, and Acinetobacter baumannii. Furthermore, active molecules are non-toxic to mammalian cell line.

     

Novel compounds with potent CDK9 inhibitory activity for the treatment of myeloma

Cyclin-dependent kinases (CDKs) and Polo-like kinases (PLKs) play key role in the regulation of the cell cycle. The aim of our study was originally the further development of our recently discovered polo-like kinase 1 (PLK1) inhibitors. A series of new 2,4-disubstituted pyrimidine derivatives were synthesized around the original hit, but their PLK1 inhibitory activity was very poor. However the novel compounds showed nanomolar CDK9 inhibitory activity and very good antiproliferative effect on multiple myeloma cell lines (RPMI-8226).
