Tropomyosin is localized in the nuclear matrix and chromosome scaffold of physarum polycephalum

The nuclei and chromosomes were isolated from plasmodia of Physarum polycephalum.The nuclear matrix and chromosome scaffold were obtained after the DNA and most of the proteins were extracted with DNase I and 2 M NaCl.SD-PAGE analyses revealed that the nuclear matrix and chromosome scaffold contained a 37 kD polypeptide which is equivalent to tropomyosin in molecular weight.Immunofluorescence observations upon slide preparations labeled with anti-tropomyosin antibody showed that the nuclear matrix and chromosome scaffold emanated bright fluorescence,suggesting the presence of the antigen in them.Immunodotting results confirmed the presence of tropomyosin in the nuclear matrix and chromosome scaffold.Immunoelectron microscopic observations further demonstrated that tropomyosin was dispersively distributed in the interphase nuclei and metaphase chromosomes.     

台州玉环北部沿岸海域主要游泳动物生态位和种间联结性

基于2016年11月(秋季)和2017年4月(春季)在玉环北部沿岸海域渔业调查所获的数据资料,运用相对重要性指数(IRI)、生态位宽度、生态位重叠、方差比率法、X² 检验、联结系数(AC)、Jaccard指数(JI)、点相关系数(Φ)和Spearman秩相关系数等方法对主要游泳动物物种间的生态位和种间联结性进行研究.结果表明: 三疣梭子蟹的生态位宽度值最大,占绝对竞争优势;重要经济种类刀鲚与长蛸的生态位宽度值最小,处于弱势竞争地位.该海域主要游泳动物生态位重叠程度不均匀,可能是由于生活环境多样化所致.总体联结性分析表明,本海域物种之间呈不显著负关联. X²检验、AC、JI结果均与总体联结性的结果一致且物种之间趋于独立.Φ和Spearman秩相关系数的结果显示,正联结的种对多于负联结的种对,可能是由于所捕获的大个体海鳗对其他物种产生空间排斥,使得其余14个物种组成的种对间多呈现正联结所致.根据Spearman秩相关系数计算结果,采用聚类分析方法将15个物种分为5个生态种组:同一生态种组内,各物种对生境具有相似的生态适应性要求;不同生态种组的物种之间则具有不同的生活习性和不同的生态要求.     

云南沾益中度退化天坑草地植物群落水平空间分布特征

规模最为宏大的地表负地形——喀斯特天坑不仅是世界罕见的地质奇观,圈闭化地形而形成的独特生境更是探索植物物种多样性及其空间分布特征最为理想的地域。以云南沾益天坑群中的中度退化天坑——"巴家陷塘"坑底草地植物群落为研究对象,通过α多样性指数与β相似性系数的应用,对"巴家陷塘"中度退化天坑坑底草地植物群落物种多样性的水平空间分布特征展开探讨,并对其近邻退化漏斗和"大毛寺"原生天坑坑外草地植物群落的相似性进行对比分析,研究结果发现:(1)中度退化天坑坑底草地植物群落物种丰富度和多样性从中心到边缘呈现出"中心高边缘低"的"逆洼地效应"特征;(2)相较于土壤资源,喀斯特天坑植物群落的生长与空间分布对光照资源的响应更为明显,且四周坑壁高度差异造成的坑内光照资源的空间异质性,也使坑底草地植物物种多样性存在一定的"圈层效应";(3)喀斯特天坑独特的圈闭化地形对植物群落的"隔离"、庇护作用即使在退化天坑中也有明显体现,且对喜阴、耐湿的物种更具庇护性。因而在全球气候变化下,即使是退化天坑,也应成为区域小尺度生态避难所的重要保护对象。     

大鼠胸腺细胞糖皮质激素受体结合与糖皮质激素效应的定量关系

本文通过糖皮质激素拮抗剂 RU486阻断不同分数的糖皮质激素受体(GR)后,GR 结合与糖皮质激素(GC)效应的比较,研究于两者的量的关系。在地塞米松(Dex)10_(-9)—10_(-5)mol/L浓度范围内,Dex 和大鼠胸腺细胞 GR 的特异结合与 Dex 抑制细胞尿嘧啶核苷(Urd)参入效应呈正向平行趋势。用 RU486阻断5×10_(-8)mol/L 浓度的 Dex与 GR 结合的不同分数,比较 Dex 特异结合与抑制效应的关系,发现两者表现为线性正相关(P<0.01)。将 Dex 结合-效应直线外推,结果提示 GR 有约20%的占领阈但几乎没有备用受体。     

网叶马铃苣苔(苦苣苔科)的重新发现以及花的补充描述（英文）

花部形态是马铃苣苔属属下划分和种间界定的关键性状,缺乏花器官的描述直接导致了一些存疑物种的存在。网叶马铃苣苔(Oreocharis rhytidophylla C. Y. Wu ex H. W. Li)自1956年最后被采集到并于1983年发表,由于没有花的特征,在《中国植物志》《中国苦苣苔科植物》和Flora of China均存疑,但该种在随后的60余年间再无相关的采集记录。作者经过多年的跟踪调查,于2017年在其模式产地重新发现并采集了带花的凭证标本。该文作者根据已经采集到的具花标本,确定这个种是个自然种,并基于新收集到的材料,补充描述了花的形态特征。网叶马铃苣苔的重新发现,为探索其系统位置提供了重要的依据。

Somatic Embryogenesis and Its Hormonal Regulation in Tissue Cultures of Freesia refracta

Somatic embryogenesis can be induced in tissue cultures of Freesiarefracta either directly from the epidermal cells of explants,or indirectly via intervening callus. These two pathways ofsomatic embryogenesis can be controlled and regulated by varyingthe combinations and levels of exogenous hormones. When younginflorescence segments were cultured in vitro on modified N₄(MN₄) medium supplemented with 2 mg l^–1 indoleacetic acid(IAA) and 3 mg l^–1 6-benzylaminopurine (BAP), some ofthe epidermal cells began to exhibit the features of embryogeniccells. These cells produced embryoids and developed into newplants through direct somatic embryogenesis. If the same explantswere placed on Murashige and Skoog's (MS) medium containing2 mg l^–1 IAA, 05 mg l^–1 BAP and 05 mg l^–1naphthaleneacetic acid (NAA), pale-yellow translucent nodularcalluses appeared on the surface of the explants. When thiskind of callus was transferred to MN6 medium with 2 mg l^–1IAA and 3 mg l^–1 BAP, embryoids formed which further developedinto plantlets. The regenerated plants were morphologicallynormal and possessed the normal diploid chromosome number of2n = 22. A similar result has also been obtained with youngleaf explants of this plant. The early segmentations of embryogeniccells and the development of embryoids were studied using histologicaland scanning electron microscopic techniques, and the resultshave been discussed in association with the ontogeny and originof the embryoids.
