Relationship of occurrence of Fruhstorferiola tonkinensis Will. and plant communities on riversides in northern Guangdong Province, China

Plant communities on riversides in northern Guangdong Province were investigated with all-survey method, where a kind of native grasshopper Fruhstorferiola tonkinensis Will. broke out severely. 108 plant species belonging to 43 families were identified, and some plant indexes in those plant communities including their name, average height, congregation index, total coverage rate, phenological phase and biod were noted. In addition, plant comparability, plant abundance, quantity character and attribute symbol of dominant species in plant communities on riversides were studied. The results showed that the arrangement and distribution of vegetations on riversides offered a favorable habitat for F. tonkinensis. Moreover, the density of first instar nymphs of F. tonkinensis in plant communities was calculated. The results of partial correlation analysis (PCA) about the relationship between plant communities and occurrence of F. tonkinensis showed that Pterocarya stenoptera C. DC. was the most palatable plant to F. tonkinensis, presenting a very significantly positive correlation between coverage rate of P. stenoptera and occurrence of F. tonkinensis. The partial correlation coefficient (PCC) was 0.856072 (F=32.92012, P=0.0001). Bambusa flexuosa was a non-preferable plant of F. tonkinensis, presenting a significantly negative correlation between them, and the partial correlation coefficient was ?0.607920 (F=0.16173, P=0.0211). Those results would help us to propose some approaches for the ecology control of F. tonkinensis on riversides in northern Guangdong Province.

Determination of quinolizidine alkaloids in Sophora tonkinensis by HPCE

A simple, rapid and reliable high-performance capillary electrophoresis method has been developed to determine quantitatively the alkaloid content of Sophora tonkinensis, a Chinese herb commonly known as shan-dou-gen. A total of seven quinolizidine alkaloids (cytisine, sophocarpine, matrine, lehmannine, sophoranol, oxymatrine and oxysophocarpine) could be readily separated within 15 min. The running buffer was 50 mM phosphate buffer (pH 2.5) containing 1% hydroxypropyl-beta-cyclodextrin and 3.3% isopropanol in water. The applied voltage was 25 kV, the capillary temperature was 25 degrees C, the detection wavelength was 200 nm and scopolamine butylbromide was used as internal standard. The method was used to analyse the chemical constituents of two commercial alternatives to shan-dou-gen. The alkaloid constituents of authentic shan-dou-gen gave a specific HPCE electropherogram that could be used to distinguish the drug from potential substitutes. Furthermore, the content of oxymatrine and the total content of the seven quinolizidine alkaloids could be used as quantitative markers in order to assess the quality of S. tonkinensis.     

西双版纳的河岸东京枫杨林

东京枫杨林群落结构简单,分层及季相变化明显,具有典型的热带季雨林特征,是一种典型的在具有明显干、湿季变化的热带季风气候条件下,沿一些中、小型河流河岸的冲积或洪积台地上分布的单化群落。这种群落随着河岸冲积或洪积台地的消失与再现亦相应地消失与出现,它在河流的河岸上是处于一轮回更替的发展之中,是一种相对稳定的河岸落叶季雨林。     

越北腹露蝗若虫空间格局的地学统计学分析

应用地学统计学研究广东北部桑田中越北腹露蝗(Fruhstorferiola tonkinensis Will)1～5龄若虫的空间格局动态.结果表明：越北腹露蝗1～5龄若虫种群变异曲线函数均为球状模型,表现为聚集分布,但各龄若虫的空间依赖范围分别为1.973、1.968、2.169、2.302和4.307 m.利用Kriging插值法由地学统计学软件Surfer 8.0产生的各龄若虫等值线图清晰地反映了各龄若虫的空间位置, 表明越北腹露蝗有别于其它一些蝗虫,其低龄若虫呈聚居型,高龄若虫呈散居型分布.     

A Study on the Original Plants of the Chinese Drug Guangdougen (Shandougen)

Guangdougen is generally known as Shandougen. It is a traditional Chinese drug. It can be used as antipyretic, antidote, anodyne or antiinflammation agent. In recent years, some compounds (alkaloids, flavones and a new glycoside) such as cytisine, matrine, oxymatrine, pterocarpin and isoprenyl chalcone, have been isolated from roots of Guangdougen for medicinal purposes. They give effects of antiarrhythmia, anticancer or antiulcer. A recent investigation reveals that the Guangdougen comes from Sophora tonkinensis Gagnep. (syn. Sophora subprostrata Chun et T. Chen) and Sophora tonkinensis Gagnep. var. polyphylla S. Z. Huang et Z. C. Zhou, var. nov. Gnangdougen is geographically restricted to SE. and NW. Guangxi and SE. Guizhou and Yunnan (103-109°E, 22-26°N). They have an ecological preference for limestone regions, very commonly growing in mountains of 500-800 m alt.
