Two new loci for hybrid sterility in cultivated rice (Oryza sativa L.)

Female gamete abortion in Indica-Japonica crosses of rice was earlier identified to be due to an allelic interaction at the S-5 locus on chromosome 6. Recently, in other crosses of rice, similar allelic interactions were found at loci designated as S-7 and S-8, located on chromosomes 7 and 6 respectively. All of them are independent of each other. At the S-5 locus, Indica and Japonica rice have S-5 ⁱ and S-5 ^j alleles respectively and Javanicas, such as Ketan Nangka, have a neutral allele S-5 ⁿ .The S-5 ⁱ /S-5 ^j genotype is semi-sterile due to partial abortion of female gametes carrying S-5 ^j , but both the S-5 ⁿ /S-5 ⁱ and S-5 ⁿ /S-5 ^j genotypes are fertile. The S-5 ⁿ allele is thus a wide-compatibility gene (WCG), and parents homozygous for this allele are called wide-compatible varieties (WCV). Such parents when crossed with Indica or Japonica varieties do not show F₁ hybrid sterility. Wide-compatible parents have been used to overcome sterility barriers in crosses between Indica and Japonica rice. However, a Javanica variety, Ketan Nangka (WCV), showed typical hybrid sterility when crossed to the Indian varieties N22 and Jaya. Further, Dular, another WCV from India, showed typical hybrid sterility when crossed to an IRRI line, IR2061-628-1-6-4-3(IR2061-628). By genetic analyses using isozyme markers, a new locus causing hybrid sterility in crosses between Ketan Nangka and the Indicas was located near isozyme loci Est-1 and Mal-1 on chromosome 4, and was designated as S-9. Another new locus for hybrid sterility in the crosses between Dular and the IR2061-628 was identified and was found linked to four isozyme loci, Sdh-1, Pox-2, Acp-1 and Acp-2, on chromosome 12. It was designated as S-15. On the basis of allelic interactions causing female-gamete abortion, two alleles were found at S-9, S-9 ^kn in Ketan Nangka and S-9 ⁱ in N22 and Jaya. In the heterozygote, S-9 ^kn /S-9 ⁱ , which was semisterile, female gametes carrying S-9 ^kn were aborted. The hybrid of Dular and IR2061-628, with a genetic constitution of S-15 ^Du /S-15 ⁱ , was semi-sterile and the female gametes carrying S-15 ^Du were aborted. A Japonica tester variety, Akihikari, and an Indica variety, IR36, were found to have neutral alleles, S-9 nand S-15 n, at these loci, in addition to S-7 nand at S-7. The accumulation of three neutral alleles into a breeding line should help solve the hybrid sterility problem in wide crosses of rice.     

中药903口服液长期毒性实验研究

中药９０３口服液经药效学研究,表明该制剂具有良好的扶植正常菌群,调整微生态平衡,提高机体免疫能力的作用。对中药９０３口服液进行长期毒性实验研究结果证实,三种不同剂量组大白鼠给药前后的体重,血常规,主要脏器重量,肝、肾功能均无显著性差异。对４０例大鼠１１种脏器病理检查均未见药物损伤性病变。     

棉铃虫致病菌BT—931菌株的应用研究

１９９２－１９９３年,作者从菏泽、聊城棉田采集的自然罹病死亡棉铃虫幼虫体内,分离到２个较高毒效的Ｂｔ菌株,编号为ＢＴ—９３１和ＢＴ—０２１,经室内毒力测定和田间药效试验表明,防效及保蕾效果接近或超过化学农药,菌药混剂３—５天平均防治效果达８７．０－９１．６％,增效作用显著。经１９９４年大田防治示范表明,利用ＢＴ—９３１菌剂。配合化学农药防治棉铃虫,具有成本低、保护天敌、持效期长、增产效益高等优点。本研究对菌剂的田间应用技术进行了试验示范。     

TNT在大鼠晶状体内的代谢及其对晶状体中抗氧化相关酶活性的影响

大鼠皮下注射ＴＮＴ,以ＨＰＬＣ分析其在晶状体内的代谢过程,并检测晶状体谷胱甘肽过氧化物酶、谷胱甘肽还原酶及超氧化物歧化酶的活性变化。发现在注射ＴＮＴ后２ｈ即可在晶状体内检测到为量极少的ＴＮＴ及其代谢产物,第１２ｈ一氨基二硝基甲苯含量达最高峰。鼠龄较小的大鼠晶状体内ＴＮＴ及其代谢产物高于鼠龄较大的大鼠．多剂量注射ＴＮＴ时大鼠晶状体内一氨基二硝基甲苯于第２天达到高峰,ＴＮＴ于第５天达饱和状态,第１８天一氨基二硝基甲苯含量与ＴＮＴ含量相近。谷胱甘肽过氧化物酶、谷胱甘肽还原酶及超氧化物歧化酶活性在注射ＴＮＴ的第２天均有不同程度的升高,在第５天和第１８天维持在低活性状态。实验表明ＴＮＴ在晶状体内是通过硝基还原而代谢的．ＴＮＴ进入晶状体后初期可诱发晶状体抗氧化相关酶活性的增高,后期则导致晶状体抗氧化相关酶活性的降低。     

外源酚对凤眼莲体内酚含量和与酚代谢有关酶的影响

凤眼莲能够吸收和在体内聚集外源苯酚,体内的酸含量随着环境中酚浓度的上升而上升。从生长于合酚培养液中的凤眼莲体内能够检测到酚糖苷,说明凤眼莲体内有酚精苷转移酶的存在。浓度小于５０ｍｇ／Ｌ的外源酚能提高凤眼莲体内的多酚氧化酶和过氧化物酶的活性。多酚氯化酶与过氧化物酶在线粒体和微粒体中均有不同程度的分布,而酚糖苷转移酶则不存在于这些细胞器中。     

Production of panose from maltose by intact cells of Aureobasidium pullulans

Panose, a major component of isomalto-oligosaccharides, was selectively produced from maltose using transglucosylation reaction catalyzed by intact cells of Aureobasidium pullulans. When 50 %(w/v) maltose was used as a substrate, the maximum concentration of panose accumulated in the final reaction mixture was about 50 %(w/w) after 120 hr reaction at 55 °C.     

Expression and secretion of human lipocortin-1 by promoter and signal sequence of STA1 from Saccharomyces diastaticus

Summary For the secretion of human lipocortin-1 (LC-1) in yeast, a expression and secretion vector was constructed by using the promoter and signal sequence of glucoamylase gene (STA1) of Saccharomyces diastaticus. After the cDNA of human LC-1 was ligated with the secretion vector, the resulting hybrid plasmid was transformed into S. diastaticus. When the recombinant S. diastaticus was cultivated in YPD medium, LC-1 was expressed and secreted into the extracellular medium, yielding LC-1 protein at a concentration of 2.5 g/mL.     

祁连山地区植被特征及其分布规律

分析和讨论了祁连山地区主要植被类型及其分布特征。祁连山地区随着青藏高原的强烈隆升表现为整体抬升,植被具有明显的生态地理边缘效应特征和高原地带性规律。该区植被虽然受到四周的较大影响,但各类高寒植被占有绝对优势,表现出与青藏高原植被整体明显的相似性和广泛的一致性。另一方面,本区植被也有其特殊性及与高原面存在一些差异。因此,建议把祁连山地区做为青藏高原植被区的次一级独立单元
