白首乌光合日变化的研究

白首乌叶片光合日变化曲线呈明显双峰型,峰值分别出现在上午9：00～10：00时和下午3：00时左右。在高光强下中午有明显“午休”现象。叶绿素荧光参数Fv／Fm和φPSⅡ在晴天中午明显降低,说明田问白首乌叶片在晴天中午经常发生光抑制,高光强和高温是发生光抑制的主要原因。     

不同时期牛心朴子和甘草光合蒸腾日变化的研究

用CIRAS-1型光合作用测定系统对毛乌素沙漠边缘地带野生牛心朴子(Cynanchum komarorvii)和甘草(Glycyrrhiza uralensis)的不同时期的光合、蒸腾特征进行动态研究。结果表明：牛心朴子和甘草的光合、蒸腾日变化在土壤水分适宜的时期为双峰曲线,在高光照低土壤水分的情况下为单峰曲线,且土壤水分含量越低,午后光合速率下降越快。在不同时期,牛心朴子和甘草都能保持较稳定的水分利用效率,说明其光合、蒸腾对环境具有较强的适应性。     

草莓叶绿素荧光参数日变化的研究

以草莓（Fragaria ananassa Duch）为材料,研究其叶片叶绿素荧光参数的日变化。在自然光下,草莓叶片的最大荧光（Fm）、PSⅡ光化学效率（Fv／Fm）、PSⅡ光量子效率（Yield）和光化学猝灭系数（qP）从6：00-18：00均先下降后上升,其中在下午14：00最低;而非光化学猝灭系数（qN）先上升后下降,其中在下午14：00最高。表明在中午强光下,草莓叶片遭受了强烈的光抑制,而热耗散是其主要的光保护机制。     

胡杨、灰叶胡杨光合及叶绿素荧光特性的比较研究

比较研究了两年生胡杨和灰叶胡杨叶片的光合及叶绿素荧光特性.结果表明:胡杨和灰叶胡杨均表现出净光合速率(Pn)日变化呈单峰曲线,只是在12:00时胡杨的Pn略微降低;气孔导度日变化均呈单峰型曲线;胞间CO2浓度日变化呈近“V”字型曲线.相同的试验条件下,胡杨的净光合速率、气孔导度高于灰叶胡杨,净光合速率与气孔导度峰值出现在上午10:00时;胡杨胞间CO2浓度低于灰叶胡杨,胞间CO2浓度最低值均出现在中午14:00时.经充分暗适应后的叶片叶绿素荧光参数初始荧光、PSⅡ原初光能转换效率和PSⅡ潜在活性均为胡杨显著大于灰叶胡杨.以太阳光为光化学光,测定的叶绿素荧光参数日变化显示,胡杨PSⅡ实际的光化学反应量子效率、非循环电子传递速率、光化学猝灭系数均大于灰叶胡杨,而非光化学猝灭系数却较灰叶胡杨小.胡杨与灰叶胡杨在光合与叶绿素荧光特性上的差异,是胡杨更能适应干旱荒漠区高光、高温与低相对空气湿度环境,从而表现出高净光合速率的部分生理学原因之一.     

干旱沙区２种梨树光合特性的研究

通过对沙地栽培的苹果梨和锦丰梨２种梨树光合速率(Pn)日变化、季节变化的测度研究表明,苹果梨Ｐn日变化呈单峰曲线,峰值出现在上午９：００为１０．１５８μmol.m^-2.s^-1.。锦丰梨Ｐn变化呈双峰曲线,和一峰值在上午９：００,第二峰值在下午１３：００,第一峰值高于第二峰值Ｐn分别为１４．５６６μmol.m^-2.s^-1.和１０．９７２μmol.m^-2.s^-1.。并分析得出２种梨树Ｐn与其蒸腾速率（ＴＲＡＮ）、胞间ＣＯ２浓度（ＣＩＮＴ）、水平气压缺（ＶＰＤ）等影响因子之间存在着极显著相关关系和回归方程,以及２种梨树的水分利用效率（ＷＵＥ）。     

两种不同生态型麻疯树夏季光合特性的比较

以来源于海南及贵州的两种不同生态型麻风树(Jatropha curcas L.)为试材,利用LI-6400便携式光合作用测量系统及PAM-2100调制叶绿素荧光仪,在夏季对其气体交换特性及叶绿素荧光参数等进行测定.光强-光合速率响应曲线显示两种不同生态型叶片最大净光合速率(Pmax)和光饱和点(LSP)分别为18.9μmol · m-2 · s-1、1600μmol · m-2 · s-1(贵州型)和20.4μmol · m-2 · s-1、1700μmol · m-2 · s-1(海南型),而CO2光合速率响应曲线则显示两者的差异不大.两者的净光合速率(Pn)的日变化曲线都呈双峰型,主峰出现在10:00,在14:00左右出现低谷,次峰出现在16:00左右,有明显的光合"午休"现象.海南麻风树的Pmax、LSP、光补偿点(LCP)、表观量子效率(AQY)和暗呼吸速率(Rd)均高于贵州麻风树.两种生态型麻风树PSⅡ最大原初光化学效率(Fv/Fm)日变化无显著差异, 而实际光化学效率(ΦPSⅡ)变化趋势与Pn相同.这表明麻风树是一种具有较高的光合速率和强光适应性的木本能源植物,不同生态型麻风树的气体交换特性及叶绿素荧光参数有一定的差异,海南麻风树对强光的适应能力强于贵州麻风树.     

水分胁迫对牛心朴子植株生长及渗透调节物质积累的影响

采用PVC管种植模拟土壤干旱的方法,研究了牛心朴子(Cymanchum komarovii)在水分胁迫下植株生长及渗透调节物质的积累情况。结果表明：牛心朴子植株地上部对土壤水分比较敏感,随水分胁迫程度的加强和胁迫时间的延长,植株生长显著变缓,直至停止生长,而根／冠比值则有所加大;可溶性糖是牛心朴子根系主要的渗透调节物质,随着土壤水分胁迫程度的加重,根系中的可溶性糖呈明显的增加趋势,叶中的可溶性糖则随胁迫的加重而呈下降趋势,说明在干旱胁迫下牛心朴子的同化产物大部分分配于根系之中;Pro在牛心朴子叶、茎、根的渗透调节中也起着重要作用,随土壤水分胁迫的加重,其在根、茎、叶中的积累明显增加;而无机离子在牛心朴子渗透调节过程中的作用很小。     

水分胁迫对牛心朴子光合生理特性影响的研究

采用PVC管种植模拟土壤干旱的方法,研究了牛心朴子(Cynanchum komarovii)在水分胁迫下光合速率(Pn)、气孔导度(Gs)、胞间CO2浓度(Ci)、叶绿素荧光的变化规律及不同生育期适应性表现。结果表明：土壤水分胁迫对牛心朴子叶片光合生理的影响与其胁迫时间及其胁迫程度都有关系,胁迫前中期Pn下降的原因主要是气孔限制,而到后期则以非气孔因素限制为主。中度土壤水分胁迫在短期内对牛心朴子叶片光合作用具有促进作用,而且有利于WUE的提高。而重度胁迫对牛心朴子Pn的影响较显著,而且非气孔因素的出现早于中度胁迫的处理。牛心朴子的光合生理对土壤水分胁迫具有一定的适应时期和适应范围。

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.     

Entwicklungsgeschichte und Ultrastruktur von Pollenkitt und Exine bei nahe verwandten entomophilen und anemophilen Angiospermensippen derAlismataceae,Liliaceae, Juncaceae,Cyperaceae, Poaceae undAraceae

Some closely related members of the monocotyledonous familiesAlismataceae, Liliaceae, Juncaceae, Cyperaceae, Poaceae andAraceae with variable modes of pollination (insect- and wind-pollination) were studied in relation to the ultrastructure of pollenkitt and exine (amount, consistency and distribution of pollenkitt on the surface of pollen grains). The character syndromes of pollen cementing in entomophilous, anemophilous and intermediate (ambophilous or amphiphilous) monocotyledons are the same in principal as in dicotyledons. Comparing present with former results one can summarize: 1) The pollenkitt is always produced in the same manner by the anther tapetum in all angiosperm sub-classes. 2) The variable stickiness of entomophilous and anemophilous pollen always depends on the particular distribution and consistency of the pollenkitt, but not its amount on the pollen surface. 3) The mostly dry and powdery pollen of anemophilous plants always contains a variable amount of inactive pollenkitt in its exine cavities. 4) A step-by step change of the pollen cementing syndrome can be observed from entomophily towards anemophily. 5) From the omnipresence of pollenkitt in all wind-pollinated angiosperms studied one can conclude that the ancestors of anemophilous angiosperms probably have been zoophilous (i.e. entomophilous) throughout.

     

Identification and Characterization of the First Equine Parainfluenza Virus 5

正Dear Editor,Parainfluenza virus 5 (PIV5), known as canine parainfluenza virus in the veterinary field, is a negative-sense,nonsegmented, single-stranded RNA virus belonging to the Paramyxoviridae family (Chen 2018). The virus was first reported in primary monkey kidney cells in 1954 (Hsiung1972), then it has been frequently discovered in various
