枇杷冷藏过程中果肉木质化与细胞壁物质变化的关系

“大红袍”和“解放钟”枇杷果实在 1℃下贮藏时 ,细胞壁物质代谢异常 ,果肉硬度持续升高而出汁率逐渐降低 ,果胶酯酶 (PE)和多聚半乳糖醛酸酶 (PG)活性和水溶性果胶含量下降 ,原果胶含量、苯丙氨酸解氨酶(PAL)活性及木质素和纤维素含量不断增加。约经 3周贮藏后 ,果实出现果皮难剥、果肉质地变硬、粗糙少汁的异常劣变现象。在 12℃下贮藏的枇杷果实 ,细胞壁物质代谢正常 ,果肉硬度增加少 ,PE和PG活性及水溶性果胶含量较高 ,无原果胶增加现象 ,PAL活性呈下降趋势 ,木质素和纤维素含量变化不大 ,果实不出现木质化败坏。这些结果表明冷藏枇杷的木质化败坏可能是一种低温失调现象     

低氧气调包装对去壳雷笋褐变和木质化的影响

研究了在厚度为0.04 mm的聚乙烯(PE)袋内充气成分为2%O2、5%CO2和93%N2于10℃下贮藏时气调袋装去壳雷笋褐变和木质化进程.与对照相比,低氧气调包装(MAP)抑制了去壳雷笋贮藏前期丙二醛(MDA)的生成,显著抑制了过氧化物酶(POD)(P＜0.05)和苯丙氨酸解氨酶(PAL)活性(P＜0.01),最终显著抑制了笋肉的褐变(P＜0.01),显著抑制了木质素(P＜0.05)和纤维素的合成,从而延长了保鲜期.去壳雷笋的褐变可能由POD和PAL活性作用引起.POD和PAL活性的增加也可能诱导了木质素的合成.

低温对荔枝果肉膜脂过氧化和保护酶活性的影响

对‘白蜡’荔枝果肉在3℃和-1℃下的贮藏效果及果肉膜脂过氧化和保护酶活性进行了研究。结果表明,去果皮的荔枝果肉在3℃下贮藏40d,-1℃下保鲜50d,不表现冷害症状。低温下果肉的细胞膜透性、丙二醛(MDA)含量逐渐增加。冷藏30d,-1℃与3℃果肉之间的膜透性、MDA含量没有显著差异,但30d后,-1℃处理明显延缓了果肉膜透性和MDA含量的增加。在3℃下贮藏果肉的超氧化物歧化酶(SOD)和抗坏血酸过氧化物酶(ASA-POD)和过氧化氢酶(CAT)活性在20d、过氧化物酶(POD)活性在30d时分别到达高峰值。-1℃延缓了这些保护酶活性的升高并降低了峰值。

热激处理对冷藏枇杷果实冷害的生理作用

枇杷(Eriobotrya japonica Lindl.)果实采后经48～52℃、10 min的热激处理,然后2～5℃贮藏,通过对贮藏期间果实冷害级别、呼吸速率、过氧化物酶、过氧化氢酶、苯丙氨酸解氨酶活性和质膜相对透性变化的分析,研究贮前热激处理对冷藏枇杷果实冷害的生理作用.结果表明,2～5℃低温可诱导枇杷果实呼吸速率和苯丙氨酸解氨酶活性异常升高,果实冷害程度与苯丙氨酸解氨酶活性之间呈正相关,相关系数r=0.926.热激处理能降低冷藏条件下(2～5℃)枇杷果实呼吸速率的异常升高,减轻由于低温胁迫造成的果肉细胞膜损伤,提高枇杷果实的过氧化物酶和过氧化氢酶活性,降低苯丙氨酸解氨酶的活性.贮前热激处理有推迟和减轻枇杷果实冷害症状发生、降低果肉低温劣变的作用.贮前热激处理结合低温冷藏是延长枇杷果实贮藏寿命的有效措施之一.     

低温胁迫下枇杷幼果种子膜脂过氧化、保护酶活性及显微结构的变化

枇杷(Eriobotrya japonica)开花结果正值冬季低温期,易受低温影响,因此寒害成为抑制枇杷健康生长、发育的重要因素之一。种子作为产生多种内源激素的中心,其健康程度与枇杷果实正常发育息息相关。该研究以四川省成都市龙泉驿区柏合镇的‘早钟六号’枇杷幼果种子为材料,经不同低温(6、3、0、-3℃)胁迫不同时间(12、24、36、48 h)后,对其相对电导率、丙二醛(MDA)、超氧化物歧化酶(SOD)、过氧化氢酶(CAT)和过氧化物酶(POD)的变化进行测定以及细胞解剖结构分析,旨在探究枇杷幼果种子抗寒机制,为提高四川地区枇杷抗寒栽培新技术提供理论和实践依据。结果表明:低温胁迫下,枇杷幼果种子相对电导率及MDA含量随着处理温度的降低整体呈上升趋势;保护酶SOD、CAT活性在低温胁迫前期不同程度升高,至某个低温后呈下降趋势;而POD活性总体呈升-降-升趋势;相对电导率、MDA含量、SOD活性、CAT活性、POD活性的变化临界温度均为6℃,胁迫临界时间分别为12、24、48、36 h,而MDA含量变化临界温度为3℃,胁迫临界时间为36 h;显微结构表明枇杷幼果种子6℃低温开始受冻,最先受冻部位为种皮,其次为种胚真叶原始体或真叶,最后到细胞破裂,说明枇杷幼果种子随着处理温度降低,细胞结构受损越严重。综上,枇杷幼果种子受冻临界温度为6℃,受冻临界时间为12 h。     

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.

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).
