Recent advances in plant cell cultures in bioreactors

Two key issues in the application of plant-cell-culture technology to the production of valuable secondary metabolites are reviewed: the selection of cell lines with suitable genetic, biochemical and physiological characteristics; and the optimization of bioreactor environments. Although great progress has been made in recent years in the design, selection and optimization of bioreactor hardware, optimization of environmental factors such as medium components, light irradiation and O₂ supply needs detailed investigations for each case. With a better understanding of plant cell metabolism and physiology, further developments in cultivation processes, such as process integration and on-line monitoring and control, can be expected in the near future.J.-J.

Keep all the pieces: Systematics 2000 and world conservation

Conserving biological diversity requires a major effort in conducting survey and inventories, establishing priorities, selecting protected areas, managing resources and monitoring the effects of management. Systematics has an important contribution to make to each of these five major activities. Further, the new Convention on Biological Diversity requires systematics information to support action under virtually all of its substantive conservation and sustainable use articles. It seems apparent that large reference collections contribute directly to development, and development assistance agencies should recognize that investing in maintaining these collections is a legitimate form of development assistance.     

松辽盆地南部梨树断陷登楼库组孢粉组合

本文系统地研究了松辽盆地南部梨树断陷登楼库组孢子花粉化石,计３９属６０种,描述１０属１６种,根据孢粉组合特征及对包括被子植物花粉在内的主要孢粉类型地质地理分布的分析,认为登楼库组时代应为早白垩世Ａｌｂｉａｎ期,这一孢粉组合的研究,对于登楼库组地质时代的地一步确定及我国东北地区白垩纪孢粉组合序列的建立、完善与地层划分对比有较重要意义。     

甾体激素受体超家族的基因调控机制

甾体激素受体超家族是一类基因反式作用因子,对RNA聚合酶Ⅱ转录的某些蛋白质基因和RNA聚合酶Ⅰ转录的核糖体RNA基因均有正或负的转录调节作用.超家族对RNA polⅡ转录的基因调控的机理包括受体激活,相关蛋白解离,磷酸化,同源/异源二聚化,核转位,与正/负激素应答元件及相应转录蛋白作用,最终激活或抑制特异靶基因的转录.甾体激素对RNA polⅠ转录的基因的调节作用以及超家族中的经典受体和孤儿受体非配合的激活机制是目前研究的热点.     

陕南地区油橄榄生长发育与生态条件关系的研究

根据定位观测和实地调查资料研究了油橄榄在陕南地区的生长发育和环境条件的关系,油橄榄树的枝条日高生长量为昼夜生长类型。夜间生长高于昼间的１２１％－１６０％;６、７、８、９月的生长量占全年生长量的７６％。油橄榄树的年生长量和产量状况与土壤含水量和土壤质地性质有密切关系;油橄榄树为阳性树种,在增加光照的环境条件下生长和结实良好,反之较差。     

人脑神经元特异性烯醇化酶的纯化方法

采用改良的Grace层析方法,经一次DEAE-Sephadex A50柱层析即从人脑中纯化了神经元特异性烯醇化酶,比活力为92.1U/mg,纯化倍数为59.4.该酶纯化后,经SDS-聚丙烯酰胺凝胶电泳鉴定为单一蛋白质谱带.此外,还测定了其部分理化性质,其亚单位分子量为45000,等电点pI为4.7,氨基酸组成分析表明其为一种酸性蛋白质;对2-磷酸甘油酸的K_m值为5.6×10^-4mol/L.     

猕猴桃种质资源保存及育种研究

收集保存猕猴桃属植物３５种或变种、变型,并将它们分为抗寒?喜凉、喜温３种类型。从保存的中华猕猴桃优株中系统选育出“武植２号”、“武植３号”２个优良品种。以中华猕猴桃为母本,毛花猕猴桃为父本进行种间杂交,从杂种Ｆ１代中培养出“江山娇”、“满天星”、“重瓣”３个具有园艺观赏价值的优良株系。这些研究工作为猕猴桃种质资源的保存及新品种的培育奠定了工作基础。
