Soya Bean Seed Growth and Maturation In vitro without Pods

Immature Glycine max (L.) Merrill seeds, initially between 50and 450 mg f. wt, were grown and matured successfully in vitro.Excised seeds were floated in a liquid medium containing 5 percent sucrose, minerals and glutamine in flasks incubated at25 °C under 300 to 350 µE m^–2 s^–1 fluorescentlight. During 16 to 21 d in culture, seeds grew to a matured. wt of 100 to 600 mg per seed at an average rate of 5 to 25mg d. wt per seed d^–1 depending on initial size. Growthrates were maximal during the first 8 to 10 d in vitro but declinedwith loss of green colour in the cotyledons. Seed coats rupturedwith rapid cotyledon expansion during the first 2 d in culture.Embryos were tolerant to desiccation and 80 to 90 per cent germinatedif removed from culture before complete loss of green colour.The growth of excised seeds in vitro exceeded the growth ofseeds in detached pods, but when windows were cut in pods topermit direct exposure of seeds to the medium, seed growth wascomparable.

红细胞血影介导7sRNA对大鼠肝癌细胞(CBRH-7919)DNA复制、转录和甲胎蛋白合成的影响

本文总结了用红细胞血影介导正常肝7sRNA进入肝癌细胞的定位及其对细胞DNA复制、转录和蛋白合成的影响。装载~(125)I-78RNA的血影与肝癌细胞融合后,放射自显影标本显示7sRNA在细胞内的分布,主要定位于细胞质,也有见于细胞核内。7sRNA进入细胞后对细胞的DNA复制、转录和蛋白合成有抑制作用。免疫荧光和免疫沉淀法检测肝癌细胞甲胎蛋白合成的结果表明,7sRNA导入晚G_1期同步细胞后继续培养4小时,甲胎蛋白合成减少。由于细胞DNA复制和转录被抑制,在一定程度上影响了甲胎蛋白基因的表达。     

印度雕蚀菌对三带喙库蚊幼虫生活力的影响

三带喙库蚊幼虫为印度雕蚀菌的寄生宿主,自然界中2—4龄幼虫均可感染印度雕蚀菌,感染后幼虫体肿胀,活动缓慢,对外界抵抗力降低,各龄幼虫虽可蜕皮,但在蜕皮过程中即行死亡。幼虫存活时间各为:2龄的5天;3龄的4—11天;4龄的4—9天,死亡率达100%。印度雕蚀菌的初生孢子囊和休眠孢子囊不同,可充满于幼虫的血腔,二型孢子囊的数量以前者为多,死亡虫体中多为成熟孢子囊,囊内可见有成熟而极为活跃的,带有鞭毛的游动孢子。经1—2小时,成熟游动孢子破囊而出,游动于水体中。 病态蚊幼主要滋生于有机物质丰富,水质清澈的秧稻田中。连续3年观察,其滋生地多为固定而局限,未发现与三带喙库蚊滋生同一地的中华按蚊和它种蚊虫的感染。     

Psychosocial Homeostasis and Jen: Conceptual Tools for Advancing Psychological Anthropology

Personality is a Western concept rooted in individualism. The basic importance accorded it in psychological anthropology has obscured our understanding of how Western man lives in Western society and culture, or how any man lives in any society and culture. What is missing is the central ingredient in the human mode of existence: man's relationship with his fellow men. The concepts of psychosocial homeostasis and jen are designed to extricate our subdiscipline from this intellectual prison. The first describes the process whereby every human individual tends to seek certain kinds of affective involvement with some of his fellow humans. The second refers to the internal and external limits of the individual's affective involvement. With the aid of five major hypotheses based on these concepts, a review is made in a new light of familiar facts drawn from China, the United States, and Japan.
