以木本植物巨尾桉幼苗为材料 ,研究低温胁迫对巨尾桉膜脂过氧化及保护酶的影响 ,测定了幼苗叶片的O 2(超氧阴离子 )产生速率、H2 O2 、(过氧化氢 )、MDA(丙二醛 )含量、相对电导率和SOD(超氧化物歧化酶 )、POD(过氧化物酶 )、CAT(过氧化氢酶 )、APX(抗坏血酸过氧化物酶 )活性。结果表明 :低温胁迫使叶片O 2 产生速率、H2 O2 、MDA含量和相对电导率增加 ,但抗寒锻炼植株的增幅远小于对照 ;抗寒锻炼植株的SOD、POD、CAT和APX活性均低于对照。     

夜间低温胁迫对两种生长光强下藤黄幼苗叶片荧光特征和活性氧代谢的影响

对两种不同生长光强下（自然光的8％和50％）西双版纳热带雨林木本植物藤黄（Garcinia han-buryi）幼苗经夜间低温（4℃）处理后荧光特性和活性氧代谢的研究结果表明,低温使藤黄叶片光合机构PSⅡ原初光能转化效率（Fv/Fm）、PSⅡ非环式电子传递的量子效率（ФPSⅡ）、非光化学猝灭系数（NPQ）下降,原初荧光（F0）上升。低温胁迫消除后,生长在50％光强下藤黄叶片的Fv/Fm和F0在3d后仍不能完全恢复,而生长在8％光强下藤黄叶片的Fv/Fm和F0基本恢复,说明低温使生长在8％光强下藤黄的光合机构PSⅡ反应中心受到可逆失活,而生长在50％光强下藤黄的光合机构受到氧化伤害。随着低温胁迫时间的延长,两种生长光强藤黄叶片活性氧保护酶（SOD,CAT,APX）的活性虽升高,但O2^-的生成速率、H2O2和MDA含量积累增加。而在恢复阶段,生长在8％光强比生长在50％光强下藤黄叶片的活性氧含量下降得快,进一步说明生长在高光强的植物比生长在低光强的植物受低温伤害大。     

水杨酸对水分胁迫黄瓜幼苗叶片生理过程的影响

研究了外源水杨酸(salicylic acid,SA)对水分胁迫下黄瓜幼苗叶片主要生理过程的影响。1mmol／L的SA处理黄瓜幼苗24h后,叶片中POD活性剧增,SOD活性增加不明显,H2O2清除酶CAT和APX活性受抑制,H2O2含量上升引起膜脂过氧化产物MDA含量上升,造成轻度氧化胁迫;在随后水分胁迫过程中,经SA预处理积累的H2O2诱导APX和CAT活性上升并清除产生的H2O2;SA预处理后,叶片中Rubisco含量及其基因转录水平明显高于对照,光合作用受影响较小。这表明SA使黄瓜幼苗生理活性有较大改善,增强了植株对水分胁迫的抗性。

草酸诱导黄瓜幼苗对霜霉病的抗性与H2O2的关系

以长春密刺黄瓜幼苗为材料,对经草酸处理或霜霉菌接种后黄瓜叶片的过氧化物酶(POD)、超氧化物歧化酶(SOD)和过氧化氢酶(CAT)活性及H2O2含量的变化进行了研究.结果表明:草酸处理或霜霉菌接种均可诱导黄瓜幼苗叶片H2O2含量显著增加,且草酸预处理后接种的叶片比相应对照叶片能更快地积累H2O2;草酸处理后叶片SOD和POD活性均升高,而CAT活性却受到一定程度的抑制.研究发现,H2O2参与了幼苗对霜霉病的抗性诱导;叶片H2O2含量的增加与其SOD、POD活性升高、CAT活性下降有关;通过调节黄瓜叶片H2O2的含量来调控有关黄瓜霜霉病抗性的防御基因表达是草酸诱导抗性的机制之一.     

盐胁迫对红麻幼苗生长及抗氧化酶活性的影响

为研究不同盐胁迫时间和不同盐浓度胁迫对红麻（Hibiscus cannabinusL.）幼苗的生长及抗氧化酶活性的影响,探寻红麻耐盐的生理机制,为盐碱地种植红麻提供科学依据,本研究对红麻幼苗进行了两种不同条件的盐胁迫处理。一种将红麻幼苗在0（对照组）、140 mmol/L NaCl的半强度Hoagland营养液下分别处理3、6、9 d,另一种是在0（对照组）、70、140、200 mmol/L NaCl的1/2 Hoagland营养液下处理6 d,分别测定两种盐胁迫条件下植株的鲜重、根长、茎长、叶片H2O2、丙二醛（MDA）含量、超氧化物歧化酶（SOD）、过氧化物酶（POD）、过氧化氢酶（CAT）和谷胱甘肽还原酶（GR）活性。结果显示：（1）在第一种处理条件下,随着盐胁迫时间的延长,处理组红麻幼苗的鲜重相对于对照分别减轻了19.63%、19.35%和39.03%,株高则分别降低了25.59%、19.17%和18.48%,处理组的SOD活性先增后减,POD活性先减后增,MDA和H2O2的含量、CAT和GR活性基本随胁迫时间的增长而增高。（2）在第二种处理条件下,随着胁迫盐浓度的增加,处理组鲜重相对于对照分别减轻了16.79%、19.35%和44.73%,株高则分别降低了11.21%、19.17%和23.62%,处理组SOD活性都稍高于对照,但三者无显著差异,POD活性先减后增,MDA和H2O2的含量、CAT和GR活性基本上随着盐浓度增加而增加。实验表明,在两种不同条件的盐胁迫下,红麻幼苗受盐害的程度基本上随胁迫时间和盐浓度的增加而加重。处理组植株的SOD和POD活性较对照组增加不明显,甚至有所降低,而CAT和GR活性则相对较高,CAT和GR可能在红麻幼苗抵御盐害时起较重要作用。     

冷锻炼对低温胁迫下夏威夷椰子膜脂过氧化及保护酶活性的影响

在－5℃低温胁迫下,夏威夷椰子（Pritchardia gaudichaudii H.Wendl.)幼苗叶片的丙二醛（MDA）含量逐渐增加,表明膜脂过氧化作用逐渐增强;含水量不断下降;细胞保护酶中的超氧化物歧化酶（SOD）、过氧化物酶（POD) 过氧化氢酶（CAT）酶活性均先升高,然后下降。冷锻炼处理可以减缓夏威夷椰子膜脂过氧化作用的增强,促进SOD酶活性的提高,同时抑制POD和CAT酶活性的变化,因而使夏威夷椰子幼苗的抗寒性得以提高,在－5℃低温胁迫下的半致死时间从1.6d延长到2.2d。

Characteristics of the membranes of the pellicle of the ciliatePseudomicrothorax dubius

Summary The membranes of the pellicle of the ciliatePseudomicrothorax dubius are investigated using thin section electron microscopy and freeze-fracture replicas. The plasma membrane is covered by a surface coat and is connected to the outer alveolar membrane by short, sometimes branched, bridges. The inner alveolar membrane is coated on both sides. The epiplasm lies in intimate contact with the cytoplasmic surface of this membrane, and there is a corresponding deposit on the other surface. This deposit is regularly striated.The epiplasmic layer and the alveoli are interrupted at sites of cytotic activity,e.g., the attachment sites of trichocysts, the cytoproct, and the parasomal sacs. The striated deposit ends where the epiplasm ends, indicating a direct relationship between these two epimembranous layers.There is a deposit along the sides of the first part of the tip of the trichocysts, and in this region the trichocyst membrane is free of intramembranous particles.The membrane of the parasomal sacs has a coat on both surfaces. That on the extraplasmic surface is similar to the surface coat of the plasma membrane. The origin of the cytoplasmic coat is unknown. The cytotic activity of these sacs is indicated by their highly irregular profiles.     

The early development of the tail and the transformation of the shape of the nucleus of the spermatid of the domestic fowl,Gallus gallus

Summary The differentiation of the spermatid, especially in reference to the formation of the flagellum, and transformation of the shape of the nucleus was investigated in the domestic fowl.In the early stage of the spermatid, a prominent Golgi apparatus appears around the centrioles. The Golgi vesicles then surround the axial-filament complex which develops from the distal centriole. These vesicles fuse to form continuous membrane at the earliest stage of flagellar formation, and in the succeeding stage Golgi lamellae are attached to the plasma membrane of the developing flagellum. From these observations, it is assumed that Golgi apparatus may be a source of the membrane system of the flagellum.The microtubules distributed around the nucleus form the circular manchette. The anterior region of the nucleus with the manchette is cylindrical in shape and the posterior region without it remains irregular in shape. When the circular manchette has been completed, the whole nucleus acquires a slender cylindrical shape. The circular manchette then changes into the longitudinal manchette. The nuclei of spermatids without a longitudinal manchette are abnormal in shape. In view of these observations it is assumed that the nuclear shaping of the spermatid may be accomplished by circular manchette and the maintenance of shape of the elongated nucleus by longitudinal manchette.The authors wish to thank Mr. Takayuki Mori for his helpful suggestions and technical advices     

Characterization of the composition of the aqueous humor and the vitreous body of the eye of the frog Rana temporaria L

This study aimed to analyze the aqueous humor (AH) and the vitreous body (VB) of the eye of the adult frog Rana temporaria L. as a representative species of amphibians, which lead a semi-terrestrial life. The presence of collagen, albumin, uric acid and electron donors was shown in both media; however, there are slight differences in their concentrations. To determine collagen, a spectral-fluorescent probe, cyanine dye, was used. The presence of collagen in AH of the frog was found at the first time. The total content of electron donors (ascorbic and uric acids, tryptophan, and tyrosine) in VB and HA was roughly estimated at ~ 1.5 × 10^− 4 mol/L. Both VB and AH absorb light in similar UV regions. The total protein and albumin contents in AH were found to be somewhat higher than those in VB. The uric acid content was at an equally low level in both intraocular media. It is supposed that the similarity of VB and AH compositions shown in this work is due to some exchange between VB and AH contents in the course of accommodation. The role of intraocular fluids in physiological functions of the eye and in protecting the retina against UV light is discussed.
