Plant regeneration in Kentucky bluegrass (Poa pratensis L.) via coleoptile tissue cultures

Summary Plant regeneration in Kentucky bluegrass (Poa pratensis L. cv. Touchdown) via culture of seedling tissues was investigated. When coleoptile, leaf, and stem sections of dark-germinated seedlings were cultured on Murashige and Skoog (MS) medium, different types of callus were produced, depending on the expiant source and growth regulator combinations. Only compact-friable callus (type 3) and moderately compact, friable callus (type 2) produced shoots upon subculture. The nonstructured watery callus (type 4) produced roots without shoots. Shoot differentiation from callus tissues was highest when the culture medium contained 0.2 mgL^–1 picloram + 0.01 mgL^–1 -naphthaleneacetic acid (NAA). Calli grown from coleoptiles had higher shoot regeneration frequency (32%) than that obtained from either stem sections (12%) or young leaf tissues (2%) of the same seedlings. Some organogenic callus lines produced exclusively green plants, while others produced albino shoots or a mixture of green and albino shoots. The green plants were multiplied in a medium containing 0.1 mgL^–1 BAP plus either 0.2 mgL^–1 picloram or 0.1 mgL^–1 indole-3-acetic acid (IAA). Over 90% of the cultures in the shoot proliferation medium produced roots in 4 weeks. The rooted plants were successfully established in soil medium and grown in the greenhouse.Abbreviations BAP 6-benzylaminopurine - 2,4-D 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid - IAA indole-3-acetic acid - MS Murashige and Skoog (1962) medium - NAA -naphthaleneacetic acid - picloram 4-amino-3,5,6-trichloropicolinic acid - TDZ thidiazuron     

荜拔中的新酰胺成分

从荜拔地上部分乙醇提取物中分得５个化合物,经波谱分析确定其结构分别为：（α,β,α,β）－１,３－双（３,４－二甲基苯基）－２,４－双［１－（２－羰基－５,６－二氢吡啶）－甲酰基］－环丁烷（１）。     

草鱼出血病病毒多肽的免疫原性

采用中和试验比较了草鱼出血病病毒ＧＣＨＶ８７３的１１个多肽的免疫原性,确定了主要中和抗原。纯化的单个病毒多肽免疫家兔获得抗血清,多太ＶＰ１、ＶＰ５、ＶＰ６和ＶＰ９的抗血清具有中和效价,而ＶＰ２、ＶＰ３、ＶＰ４、ＶＰ８、ＶＰ１０和ＶＰ１１则不能诱生中和抗体。其中ＶＰ５的抗血清中和效价最高,因此,ＶＰ６极可能是病毒多肽中的主要中和抗原。     

人白介素6受体功能区片段在E．coli中的表达

通过ＤＮＡ体外重组技术,以ｐＥＴ－３ｂ为表达载体,构建了重组表达质粒ｐＥＴ－６Ｒ（Ｂ）和ＰＥＴ－６Ｒ（Ｂ）４,分别编码２８ｋＤ的ｈＩＬ－６Ｒ配基结合区片段及其５３ｋＤ的二联体蛋白,并为酶切分析和ＤＮＡ序列分析所证实。ＳＤＳ－ＰＡＧＥ分析表明,含有重组表达质粒的菌株可分别表达出２８ｋＤ的蛋白ｒＩＬ６Ｒ－２８和５３ｋＤ的ｒＩＬ６Ｒ－５３。重组蛋白分别占菌体总蛋白的４５％和２９％左右。重组蛋白主要以包涵体形式存在,Ｗｅｓｔｅｒｎ印迹表明重组蛋白具有ＩＬ－６Ｒ的抗原性。     

新疆地区小麦白粉病菌寄主范围的研究

用小麦白粉病菌11个生理小种的混合菌种,对新疆地区的小麦近缘植物的7个属22个种的47份材料进行接种,除6份免疫外,其余均接种成功.用其中6个属19个种的29份小麦近缘植物产生的白粉病菌,对小麦回接,参试的29份材料全部回接成功.小麦白粉病菌对小麦近缘植物的寄生像在小麦上一样,有明显的寄生专化性.感病的小麦近缘植物的78.0%对小麦白粉病菌的感病性,随生育期增长而急剧下降.文中并对小麦白粉病中间寄主的作用进行了讨论.     

Reaction mechanism of isomaltooligosaccharides synthesis by α-glucosidase fromAspergillus carbonarious

Summary An -glucosidase fromAspergillus carbonarious CCRC 30414 was employed for investigating the enzymatic synthesis of isomaltooligosaccharides from maltose. The enzyme transferred a glucose unit from the nonreducing end of maltose and other -linked glucosyl oligosaccharides to glucose and other glucosyl oligosaccharides which function as accepting co-substrates. The transfer of a glucose unit occurs most frequently to the 6-OH position of the nonreducing end of acceptor, but transfer to 4-OH position also occurs. Treatment of 30 % (w/v) maltose with the enzyme under optimum conditions afforded more than 50% isomaltooligosaccharides.     

Purification and characterization of α-glucosidase from Aspergillus carbonarious

Summary An -glucosidase was purified from Aspergillus carbonarious CCRC 30414 over 20 fold with 37 % recovery. Its molecular mass was estimated to be 328 kDa by gel filtration with an optimum pH from 4.2 to 5.0, and pI=5.0. The optimum temperature is at 60°C over 40 min. The enzyme was partially inhibited by 5 mM Ag⁺, Hg²⁺, Ba²⁺, Pb²⁺, and Aso₄ ⁺.
