甘肃马唧山地区榆中贝母(Fritillaria yuzhongensis)的生态学特性及种子发芽规律的初步研究

榆中贝母(Fritillaria yuzhongensis)生长于马啣山的高山地带,全生育期约100 d左右,是一种生育期较短的类短命植物。在果实成熟时,种子的胚发育不全,具有后熟作用的特点,包括形态后熟和生理后热两个阶段;因此,需要一定时期的低温处理,才能完成后熟过程,以解除休眠,促使种子发芽。本试验表明:榆中贝母完成形态后熟过程的最佳温度是7℃左右,经过100d以上的低温处理才能使原胚发育成熟,继续在7℃低温下处理70d以上,才能完成生理后熟过程。榆中贝母种子休眠时间长,需要经过170d以上的低温处理,种子才能萌发。本试验结果为榆中贝母种子的萌发提出了适宜的温度范围和低温处理时间,为提高种子的出苗率和缩短栽培年限提供了科学依据。     

Diversity in the immune system: “Preconceived ideas” or ideas preconceived?

Two concepts of the evolution and regulation of expression of the combining site repertoire of the immune system, are compared. One view is based on the Associative Recognition Theory as formulated by the author and the other is based on the Idiotype Network Idea as conceived by Jerne. The two concepts are analyzed from the point of view of their logic, internal consistency and factual support.

似鳡属的系统地位及种的分化(鲤形目:鲤科)

似鳡属(Luciocyprinus Vaillant)是鲤科鱼类中属于鲃系(陈湘粦等,1984)的一个属,下咽齿3行,臀鳍无硬刺,具分枝鳍条5根。过去只记载一个种,外形很像鳡鱼,是由于摄食习性相同而导致的趋同现象(林人端,1981),故称似鳡,在广西俗称墨线鳡,云南俗称杆条鱼。分布于西江水系,包括云南中南部的湖泊,与鳡鱼分布于同一水系,但各占一定的水域,互不重叠。 关于似鳡的拉丁名称,惯用Fustis vivus Lin,是林书颜1932年定的新属新种,     

Nemerteans of the Great Barrier Reef 6. Enopla Hoplonemertea (Polystilifera: Reptantia)

Two new genera and species of reptantic polystiliferous hoplonemerteans from the Great Barrier Reef province of Australia are described and illustrated. Urichonemertes pilorhynchus gen. et sp. nov. and Xenonemertes rhamphocephalus gen. et sp. nov. are both placed in the family Drepanophoridae (Polystilifera: Eureptantia: Aequifurcata).     

Biosynthesis and transport of envelope proteins of Escherichia coli

Bacterial protein synthesis takes place in the cytoplasm, thus periplasmic and outer membrane proteins pass through the cytoplasmic membrane during their dispatch to the cell envelope. The exported proteins are synthesized as precursor that contains an extra amino-terminal sequence of amino-acids. This sequence, termed "signal sequence", is essential for transport of the envelope proteins through the inner membrane and is cleaved during the exportation process. Various hypotheses for the mechanism have been presented, and it is likely that no signal model will be suitable to the export of all cell envelope proteins. This review is focused on the relationship between the cytoplasmic membrane and the precursor form. The physiological state of the membrane - fluidity, membrane potential for instance - is the strategic requirement of exportation process. Precursors can be accumulated in whole cells with various treatments which alter the cytoplasmic membrane. This inhibition of processing is obtained by modification of unsaturated to saturated fatty acids ratio or with phenylethyl alcohol which perturbs the membrane fluidity, with uncoupler agents such as carbonyl cyanide m-chlorophenyl hydrazone which dissipate the proton motive force, or with hybrid proteins which get jamming in the membrane. However, little is known about the early steps of translocation process across the cytoplasmic membrane ; for instance, it is not clear yet whether energy is required for either or both of the first interaction membrane-precursor and the crossing through the membrane. Several studies have recently shown the presence of exportation sites and of proteins which might play a prominent role in the export process, but the mechanism of discrimination between outer membrane proteins and periplasmic proteins is unknown. Considerable work has been done by genetic or biochemical methods and we have now the first lights of the expert mechanism.     

Autoradiographic Localization of Angiotensin II Receptor Binding Sites on Noradrenergic Neurons of the Locus Coeruleus of the Rat

The locus coeruleus (LC) of the rat was lesioned by microinjection of selective neurotoxins into the brainstem. 6-Hydroxydopamine (6-OHDA), 3 micrograms/microliter, given unilaterally at two sites 0.6 mm apart on the rostro-caudal axis of the LC, was used to lesion catecholamine-containing neuronal elements. Ibotenic acid, 2.5 micrograms/0.5 microliters, administered similarly was used to lesion nerve cell bodies. Two weeks after administration of the neurotoxin, lesion efficacy was determined based on the norepinephrine content of the cerebral cortex ipsi- and contralateral to the lesion. 6-OHDA lesions of the LC caused a 46% reduction in ipsilateral cortical norepinephrine and a 60% reduction in specific 125I-[Sar1, Ile8]-angiotensin II (125I-SIAII) binding in the LC. Ibotenic acid lesions of the LC caused a 73% reduction in ipsilateral cortical norepinephrine and a 81% reduction in specific 125I-SIAII binding in the LC. These results indicate that AII receptor binding sites in the LC are localized on noradrenergic nerve cell bodies or their dendritic and axonal ramifications within the LC.

Genetically stable cell lines of cucumber for the large-scale production of diploid somatic embryos

For the initiation of embryogenic cucumber ( Cucumis sativus L.) cell lines, from excised radicles, directly in liquid medium, the culture regime, explant density and type and concentration of hormones were adjusted so that pro-embryogenic masses (PEMs) were formed within about 8 weeks. The established cucumber cell lines were maintained tor several years without loss of embryogenic and genetic stability. The ploidy level of somatic embryos from different cucumber eell lines was either diploid or tetraploid and depended on the ploidy level of Ihe cell line. Cucumber cell lines that produced only diploid embryos were obtained by selecting completely diploid explant material and growing it in the dark during the initiation phase. Mixoploid explains could lead to tetraploid or mixoploid ceil lines. Isolation and additional selection and subculturing of single PEMs resulted in either completely diploid or tetraploid cell lines, indicating that all cells of individual PEMs are either diploid or tetraploid. The ernbryogenic cucumber cell Imes, differing only in ploidy level, were indistinguishable in growth rate and embryogetiic potential and were genetically stable over several years.
