三种壁虎染色体核仁组织者的银染色观察与蹼壁虎的核型

本文以骨髓细胞为材料, 采用常规制片法和一步银染色技术,首次报道了无蹼壁虎、铅山壁虎和多疣壁虑的NORs,并用α-巯基乙醇短期培养无蹼壁虎的骨髓细胞,分析其核型。结果表明,3种壁虎都仅显示一对NORs,也未见有融合现象。其中无蹼壁虎的NORs位于第18对染色体的次缢痕区,而铅山壁虎和多疣壁虎分别位于第19对和第14对上。另外,我们从C带分析中发现,铅山壁虎和多疣壁虎的NORs位点均为结构异染色质区。经α-巯基乙醇培养的无蹼壁虎的染色体明显“拉长”。具次缢痕的染色体可从以往报道的第 19 对调整为第18对,其次缢痕区也比直接制作的标本大而清晰。     

一个Hunter综合征家系粘多糖电泳分析

CT所见肝脏肿大占据左右上腹,纠正了既往把肝左叶当做脾大的结论;B超发现前所没有报道的二尖瓣赘生物将给患者终生致残;标准品DS行双向电泳,首次发现其分离为DS1与GS2两个斑点;杂合子、患者尿GAG均出现DS1斑点,而正常人则不出现。实验显示,DS1的出现在杂合子检出和患者确诊上有重要意义。     

线粒体DNA缺失与神经肌肉性疾病的研究

应用PCR技术对13例神经肌肉疾病患者的线粒体DNA缺失进行了研究。结果表明,其中二例肢带型肌营养不良症患者骨骼肌组织和一例帕金森氏病患者的血细胞线粒体DNA中存在至少526bp的缺失。提示线粒体突变在一些神经肌肉性疾病的发生中起一定的作用。 Abstract: Using PCR technique,we analysed the skeletal muscle and blood of 13 patients with neuromuscular disaeases.The results show that a mutant mitochondrial DNA with at least 526bp deletion exits in the skeletal muscles of 2 patients with Erb muscular dystrophy and in the blood of a patients with Parkinson’s disease.From our results,mitochondrial DNA mutations could be an important contributory factor to neuromuscular diseases.     

小麦提型不育系和杂交种种子生活力遗传改良初探

本试验共选用了4个提型不育系(A系)及其保持系(B系)、4个恢复系(R系)及其川7B/R4份F~1|代材料,用不同遗传背景的B、R系及川7B/R材料与A系杂交,种子成熟时收获干燥考种,度过休眠期后进行发芽试验。结果表明,父本对F~0|种子千粒重存在胚乳直感现象;川3A、川4A与其它B系杂交,其F~0|种子的千粒重、饱满度、发芽率和发芽势均有不同程度的提高;川4A×R和川6A×R的杂种种子千粒重多分别比川4A×川7B/R和川6A×川7B/R的高,但前种组合(A×R)的种子发芽和发芽率远不如后一种组合(A×川7B /R)的种子,且前种组合的穗发芽率也较高。作者认为,利用A系与农艺性状相近、但遗传背景各异的B系杂交,或在R系中输入抗提型细胞质负影响的高种子生活力基因, 是提高A系和杂交种种子生活力的值得注意的途径。 Abstract:The objective of this paper is trying to grope for ways of improving sced viability of A-line and hybrid in wheat with T.timopheevi cytoplasm.Four A lines and their B lines,4 restorers (R line) and 4 crosses of Chuan 7B/R were used.The combinations of A×B,A×R and A×Chuan 7B/R were madc,and 1 000-grain weight (GW),rate of pre-harvest sprouting(RPHS),germinating energy(GE) and germination percentage (GP) of their F0 seeds were investigated.The results showed that the GW,full weight,GE and GP of the seeds of Chuan 3A and 4A×other B lines were higher than those of Chuan 3A×3B and chuan 4A×4B;although the GW of Chuan 4A and 6A×R were heavier than those of Chuan 4A and 6A×Chuan 7B/R,the GE and GP of the latter crosses increased largely and their RPHScs were less.Therefore,it was considered as effective ways for improvement on seed viability,that A lines cross with other B lines having different genetic background but similar agronomic characters and that the gene(s) concerning high seed viability were transferred into restorers.     

陆地棉的核型模式

陆地棉的核型公式为2n=4x=52=30m+20sm(4SAT)+2st(2SAT); 染色体绝对长度平均3.40μm; 臂比值最大与最小的分别是4.02和1.14,平均1.77;随体3对,分别位于第12、19和26对同源染色体的短臂上;最长与最短染色体的比值为2.36;其核型属于Stebbin的2B类型。 Abstract:Karyotype formula of Gossypium hirsutum L.was 2n=4s=52=30m+20m (4SAT)+2st (2SAT); and its absolute lengths of chromosomes averaged 3.40μm; arm ratio differed from 1.24 to 4.02,with the mean value of 1.77; three pairs of satellite chromosomes; the ratio of the longest to the shortest chromosomes was 2.36; and the karyotype belonged to 2B in Stebbin’s classification.     

Haloarcula marismortui (Volcani) sp. nov., nom. rev., an extremely halophilic bacterium from the Dead Sea

An extremely halophilic red archaebacterium isolated from the Dead Sea (Ginzburg et al., J. Gen. Physiol. 55: 187-207, 1970) belongs to the genus Haloarcula and differs sufficiently from the previously described species of the genus to be designated a new species; we propose the name Haloarcula marismortui (Volcani) sp. nov., nom. rev. because of the close resemblance of this organism to "Halobacterium marismortui," which was first described by Volcani in 1940. The type strain is strain ATCC 43049.     

Statures in Han populations of China

<正>Dear Editor,Shortly after initiating the"Physical Anthropological Research on Han Chinese"research project,we applied uniform sampling methods as well as methods and instruments of measurement to obtain a complete set of measurements of physical anthropological indicators among Han populations across China.Among these measurements,body stature was a key indicator.Currently,there should be reliable
