枣品种耐盐性与叶片生物膜结合态多胺水平和H~＋-ATP酶活性的关系

120mmol·L^-1NaCl胁迫30d,耐盐性强的‘金丝小枣’叶片细胞质膜、液泡膜共价结合态腐胺（Put）、亚精胺（Spd）、精胺（Spm）含量及多胺（PAs）总水平与对照无显著性差异,但耐盐性弱的‘冬枣’叶片质膜共价结合态Put、Spd、Spm含量和PAs总水平及液泡膜Spd含量均显著降低;‘金丝小枣’叶片类囊体膜共价结合态Put含量、PAs总水平较对照显著降低,‘冬枣’则是Put、Spd、Spm含量及PAs总水平均显著降低。盐胁迫下,‘金丝小枣’叶片细胞质膜、液泡膜、类囊体膜非共价结合态Put、Spd、Spm含量及PAs总水平下降,但其中仅类囊体膜Spd含量显著低于对照,而‘冬枣’的3种膜上非共价结合态的这些多胺及其总水平均显著低于对照。与对照相比,盐胁迫下耐盐性不同的2个枣品种,叶片细胞质膜、液泡膜和类囊体膜H＋-ATP酶活性均降低,但降低幅度因枣品种和生物膜种类不同而异,且H＋-ATP酶活性与相应膜结合态多胺水平存在极紧密的正相关关系。结果表明,膜结合态多胺参与枣品种耐盐性的表达,调节盐胁迫下枣叶细胞中溶质的跨膜运输。     

抗坏血酸对植物生长发育的作用及其缺失突变体的研究进展

抗坏血酸（ascorbic acid,AsA）是植物组织内广泛存在的高丰度小分子物质。近年的研究表明它可能通过复杂的信号转导网络来调节植物生长、诱导开花以及延缓衰老。本文介绍了AsA对植物生长发育的作用及其缺失突变体的研究进展,为深入利用AsA缺失突变体来发掘AsA新的生物学功能提供参考。     

ABA抑制花生侧根发生

本实验研究了ABA对花生侧根发生的影响。结果表明：用10umol·L-1 ABA浸泡处理花生种子1h或在含ABA的培养基上培养,均抑制侧根的发生,侧根发生率降低,数目减少,长度降低,发生的时间推迟1-2d;用ABA合成抑制剂25umol·L-1 NAPR浸泡后的种子,无论在1／2MS还是在含NAA培养基上培养,侧根发生率、侧根的数目和长度均增加。用NAA的极性运输抑制剂10umol·L-1 TIBA浸泡处理种子后,再在含ABA培养基上培养,侧根不发生,说明ABA抑制花生侧根的发生与种子内源ABA和IAA的水平相关。     

MBD4/MED1的结构与功能

含甲基化CpG结合域蛋白质4(methyl-CpG-binding domain protein 4,MBD4)是MBD核蛋白家族中的一员,它包含一个能特异结合甲基化CpG的MBD结构域和一个具有糖苷酶活性的DNA糖苷酶结构域。该蛋白质能特异地结合甲基化CpG岛,并且在DNA错配修复、抑制转录和调节凋亡等过程中发挥重要功能,并与微卫星不稳定性密切相关。MBD4是一个重要的DNA损伤修复蛋白,多方面的报道表明其许多功能都牵涉到细胞衰老。本文就其结构与功能的研究进展作一综述。     

Relationship between five GLUT1 gene single nucleotide polymorphisms and diabetic nephropathy: a systematic review and meta-analysis

So far, case-control studies on the association between glucose transporter 1 (GLUT1) gene single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) and diabetic nephropathy (DN) have generated considerable controversy. To clarify the linkage of GLUT1 SNPs on the risk of DN, a systematic review and meta-analysis was performed. A comprehensive literature search of electronic databases was conducted to obtain relative studies. Nine case-control studies were included. Significant differences were found between XbaI SNP (rs841853) and increased risk of DN in all genetic models. Subgroup analyses for Caucasians population and DN from both type 1 and type 2 diabetes also revealed positive results. For Enh2-1 SNP (rs841847), Enh2-2 SNP (rs841848) and HaeIII SNP (rs1385129), obvious linkages were demonstrated in recessive model. However, analysis for the association between HpyCH4V SNP (rs710218) and the susceptibility of DN showed no significance. Likewise, negative outcome was also found in the assessment for the influence of XbaI or Enh2-2 SNP on the pathogenesis progress of DN. The evidence currently available shows that XbaI, Enh2 and HaeIII SNPs, but not HpyCH4V SNP, in GLUT1 gene may be genetic susceptibility to DN. However, data does not support the association between either XbaI or Enh2-2 SNP and the severity of DN.     

Spatiotemporal Characteristics,Determinants and Scenario Analysis of CO2 Emissions in China Using Provincial Panel Data

This paper empirically investigated the spatiotemporal variations, influencing factors and future emission trends of China’s CO₂ emissions based on a provincial panel data set. A series of panel econometric models were used taking the period 1995–2011 into consideration. The results indicated that CO₂ emissions in China increased over time, and were characterized by noticeable regional discrepancies; in addition, CO₂ emissions also exhibited properties of spatial dependence and convergence. Factors such as population scale, economic level and urbanization level exerted a positive influence on CO₂ emissions. Conversely, energy intensity was identified as having a negative influence on CO₂ emissions. In addition, the significance of the relationship between CO₂ emissions and the four variables varied across the provinces based on their scale of economic development. Scenario simulations further showed that the scenario of middle economic growth, middle population increase, low urbanization growth, and high technology improvement (here referred to as Scenario BTU), constitutes the best development model for China to realize the future sustainable development. Based on these empirical findings, we also provide a number of policy recommendations with respect to the future mitigation of CO₂ emissions.     

鸟类和蚂蚁对桃金娘种子传播的初步研究
