香之道：吸引与护佑

迷人的芳香，起源自生物生存繁衍的需要，飘散到人类生活的各个领域。它既能安神开窍，又可祛病疗疾；既能悠然于书斋琴房，又可缥缈于庙宇神坛。它被赋予了神性与美感。古往今来，香已经逐渐成为我们生活中不可或缺的味道。     

A Putative Calcium-Permeable Cyclic Nucleotide-Gated Channel, CNGC18, Regulates Polarized Pollen Tube Growth

A tip-focused Ca^2＋ gradient is tightly coupled to polarized pollen tube growth, and tip-localized influxes of extracellular Ca^2＋ are required for this process. However the molecular identity and regulation of the potential Ca^2＋ channels remains elusive. The present study has implicated CNGC18 （cyclic nucleotide-gated channel 18） in polarized pollen tube growth, because its overexpression induced wider and shorter pollen tubes. Moreover, CNGC18 overexpression induced depolarization of pollen tube growth was suppressed by lower extracellular calcium （[Ca^2＋]ex）. CNGC18-yellow fluorescence protein （YFP） was preferentially localized to the apparent post-Golgi vesicles and the plasma membrane （PM） in the apex of pollen tubes. The PM localization was affected by tip-localized ROP1 signaling. Expression of wild type ROP1 or an active form of ROP1 enhanced CNGC18-YFP localization to the apical region of the PM, whereas expression of RopGAP1 （a ROP1 deactivator） blocked the PM localization. These results support a role for PM-Iocalized CNGC18 in the regulation of polarized pollen tube growth through its potential function in the modulation of calcium influxes.

华夏植物群中的掌叶类化石

掌叶类(psygmophylloids)一词这里用来表示广义的掌叶属(Psygmophyllum s.1.)和一些与之类似的叶部化石。根据 O.A.Hoeg(1942,1967)的意见,这类化石可分别归于Psygmophyllum Schimper emend.Saporta,1878,Ginkgophytopsis Hoeg,1967和 Gink-gophyllum Saporta,1878。华夏植物群中经正式描述发表的掌叶类化石有:Psygmophyllum multipartitum Halle,(Halle,1927;冯少南等,1977;杨关秀等,1979;肖素珍等,1985;梅美棠等,1987);Psygmophyllum komalarjunii Asama(Asama,
