甜菜树属——我国云南产山柚子科一原始新属及其植物地理学意义

报道了产于我国云南红河流域山柚子科的一个原始新属——甜菜树属,该属具大型圆锥花序,两性,是Lepionurus, Melientha和Champereia 3个单型属的祖型,无疑起源于康滇古陆即今之云南高原,其发现对研究山柚子科的起源与分化具重要意义。     

小剂量^16O^8＋离子预辐射减轻大剂量辐射所致小鼠睾丸组织损伤

The testes of the B6C3F1 hybrid strain mice were irradiated with 0.05 Gy of 16O8+ ion as the pre-exposure dose (D1), and were then irradiated with 2 Gy of 16O8+ ion as challenging radiation dose (D2) at 4 h after per-exposure. Testicular morphology was observed by light microscope at 35th day after radiation. The results showed that irradiation of mouse testes with 2 Gy of 16O8+ ion significantly impaired, mainly reduction of tubule diameter and decrease or loss of germ cells in various developing stages, especially spermatogenic elements. Pre-exposure to a low-dose (0.05 Gy) of 16O8+ ion significantly alleviated above mentioned damage on testicular morphology induced by subsequent a high-dose (2 Gy) radiation.     

Tropomyosin is localized in the nuclear matrix and chromosome scaffold of physarum polycephalum

The nuclei and chromosomes were isolated from plasmodia of Physarum polycephalum.The nuclear matrix and chromosome scaffold were obtained after the DNA and most of the proteins were extracted with DNase I and 2 M NaCl.SD-PAGE analyses revealed that the nuclear matrix and chromosome scaffold contained a 37 kD polypeptide which is equivalent to tropomyosin in molecular weight.Immunofluorescence observations upon slide preparations labeled with anti-tropomyosin antibody showed that the nuclear matrix and chromosome scaffold emanated bright fluorescence,suggesting the presence of the antigen in them.Immunodotting results confirmed the presence of tropomyosin in the nuclear matrix and chromosome scaffold.Immunoelectron microscopic observations further demonstrated that tropomyosin was dispersively distributed in the interphase nuclei and metaphase chromosomes.     

Comparative investigation on spindle behavior and MPF activity changes during oocyte maturation between gynogenetic and amphimictic crucian carp

The spindle behavior and MPF activity changes in the progression of oocyte maturation were investigated and compared with cytological observation and kinase assay between gynogenetic silver crucian carp and amphimictic colored crucian carp.MPF activity was measured by using histone H1 as phosphorylation substrate.There were two similar oscillatory MPF kinase activity changes during oocyte maturation in two kinds of fishes with different reproductive modes,but there existed some subtle difference between them.The subtle difference was that the first peak of MPF kinase activity was kept to a longerlasting time in the gynogenetic silver crucian carp than in the amphimictic colored crucian carp.It was suggested that the difference may be related to the spindle behavior changes,such as tripolar spindle formation and spindle rearrangement in the gynogenetic crucian carp.     

Foliar modifications induced by inhibition of polar transport of auxin

The effects of auxin polar transport inhibitors,9-hydroxy-fluorene-9-carboxylic acid (HFCA);2,3,5-triiodobenzoic acid(TIBA) and trans-cinnamic acid (CA) on leaf pattern formation were investigated with shoots formed from cultured leaf explants of tobacco and cultured pedicel explants of Orychophragmus violaceus,and the seedlings of tobacco and Brassica chinensis,Although the effective concentration varies with the inhibitors used,all of the inhibitors induced the formation of trumpet-shaped and/or fused leaves.The frequency of trumpet-shaped leaf formation was related to the concentration of inhibitors in the medium.Histological observation of tobacco seedlings showed that there was only one main vascular bundle and several minor vascular bundles in normal leaves of the control,but there were several vascular bundles of more or less the same size in the trumpet-shaped leaves of treated ones.These results indicated that auxin polar transport played an important role on bilateral symmetry of leaf growth.     

小麦族植物DNA重复序列研究

近些年来从小麦族植物中分离到了许多DNA重复序列,并对其组织结构特点,物种分布特异性和在染色体上的分布特征做了广泛的研究,其中一些重复序列已被成功地用于检测遐入小麦的外源染色质和小麦族有关种属的进化研究,本文就以上诸方面进行了简要介绍。     

影响K型杂交小麦粒重潜在因素的遗传分析

1996-1997年采用5×7不完全双列杂交,对影响K型杂交小麦粒重的潜在因素进行分析。结果表明,K型杂交小麦粒重与胚乳细胞数和鲜籽烂一最大体积呈极显正相关。鲜籽粒最大体积对粒重贡献较大;胚乳细胞数的杂种优势较弱,鲜籽粒最大体积的杂种优势十分明显;这两个性状均符合加性-显性遗传模型。以加快效应为主,存在明显的母体效应。     

热水溶胡卢巴胶的流变性研究

主要对胡卢巴胶（热水溶部分）的流变性进行了研究。结果表明：浓度,剪切力,加热时间,pH,冻融等变化与胡卢巴胶的粘度有较大的关系。胡卢巴胶具有较高的粘度,当浓度达到1%时,其粘度为920mpa·s^-1,胡卢巴胶溶液为非牛屯流体;小于1h加热,可使其粘度增高。胡卢巴胶溶液在酸性和酸性溶液中较为稳定。冻融处理可使胡卢巴胶溶液粘度有较大幅度的提高,胡卢巴胶与卡拉胶有一定协效性,但其协效性较低。
