肾上腺皮质激素对心房钠尿肽基因表达的促进作用

给完整的及切除肾上腺的雌性 Wistar 大鼠分別注射地塞米松、去氧皮质酮或地塞米松加去氧皮质酮;冷酚法提取心房总 RNA,用α-~(32P)标记的大鼠心房肽 cDNA 探针与之杂交。完整大鼠接受地塞米松和切除肾上腺后接受地塞米松加去氧皮质酮的大鼠,心房肽基因转录产物增加2倍,其余组无显著变化。结果提示糖皮质激素可促进心房肽基因表达,但此作用依赖于盐皮质激素的同时存在,单纯盐皮质激素不能增强该基因的表达。     

消炎痛及PGF_(2α)对在体培养人子宫内膜出血的影响

利用甾体激素撤退方法造成移植在地鼠颊囊内人子宫内膜出血的动物模型,研究消炎痛和PGF_(2a)对内膜出血的作用。结果表明,注射三种不同剂量消炎痛并不能完全抑制内膜出血,但对内膜出血时间有延缓作用。用两种不同剂量的PGF_(2a)采取缓慢释放给药方法,虽然地鼠在给药后外周血液中PGF_(2a)水平比给药前显著增高,但内膜出血并不出现在撤退甾体激素之前。结果提示,PGF_(2a)对内膜血管破裂无直接作用,而纤溶活性变化可能是触子宫内膜出血更直接的原因。     

Quantal Response of Seed Germination in Brachiaria humidicola, Echinochloa turnerana, Eragrostis tef and Panicum maximum to Photon Dose for the Low Energy Reaction and the High Irradiance Reaction

Various daily photon doses (daily net number of photons perunit area), provided by varying both photon flux density andphotoperiod, were applied to dormant seed populations of fourgraminaceous species tested for germination in alternating-temperatureregimes on filter papers moistened with either water or a solutionof potassium nitrate. In all four species germination was dependentupon daily photon dose, the product of photon flux density andduration, and quantified by linear relations between the probitof percentage germination and the logarithm of the daily photondose determined by probit analysis. Photon flux density andphotoperiod only influenced germination indirectly as factorsof daily photon dose, except in Echinochloa turnerana (Domin)J.M. Black at high daily photon doses where lower germinationwas observed in continuous light than in 8 h d^–1 photoperiod.The low energy reaction, in which increasing dose promotes seedgermination, was observed in Echlnochloa turnerana and Eragrostistef(Zucc.) Trotter but not in the populations of Brachiariahumidicola (Rendle) Schwcickerdt and Panicum maximum Jacq. usedin this study. The high irradiance reaction, in which increasingthe photon dose reduces germination, was, however, observedin all four species. In Eragrostis tef potassium nitrate influencedthe response of seed germination to light, but in the remainingspecies its influence on this relationship was either additive(Panicum maximum) or nil (Brachiaria humidicola and Echinochloaturnerana) in the alternating-temperature regimes used in thisstudy. The implications of the quantal response to photon dosefor devising optimal light regimes to be applied in laboratorytests intended to maximize seed germination are discussed.

食蟹猴疟原虫晚期卵囊、成孢子细胞与子孢子扫描电镜观察

本研究对实验感染食蟹猴疟原虫后9、10和14天的斯氏按蚊阳性蚊胃,进行扫描电镜观察。晚期(分化的)卵囊表面呈现凹凸不平皱褶。成孢子细胞体常呈圆球形或椭圆形,表面光滑,子孢子芽从其表面长出。子孢子体细长,稍弯曲,体表光滑;虫体前部较细,顶端稍平,后部稍粗,末端钝圆。本文对成孢子细胞不同发育阶段的形态予以较详细描述,对子孢子出囊方式做了初步讨论。     

油桐尺蠖的生物学和防治

油桐尺蠖主要为害茶叶和油桐。1979年,湖南网岭数百亩茶园被该虫毁灭。近年来,有人从该虫尸体上分离出核型多角体病毒(以上简称NPV)。但是,有关它的生物学特性和用NPV防治它的报道甚少。作者从1979年起进行了这方面的一些研究。现将结果整理如下。 一、生物学特性     

LUDLOVIAN GRAPTOLITE FAUNAS OF THE YANGTZE GORGES DISTRICT AND THEIR STRATIGRAPHICAL SIGNIFICANCE

Ⅰ.INTRODUCTIONThe Silurian stratigraphy of the Yangtze Gorges district has been reportedby various authors since this century.Early in 1924 J.S.Lee and Y.T.Chao subdivided the Silurian of Sintandistrict into two parts—the lower Lungma shale and the upper Sintan forma-tion,thus laying down the fundation of the silurian stratigraphy of China.Inthe following year C.Y.Hsieh and Y.T.Chao went to Lojoping area of I-Chang district and again subdivided the Silurian of that area into three sub-     

钾营养对水稻光合器功能的效应与谷粒产量的影响

水稻广陆矮四号和威优35盆栽试验的结果表明,施钾使叶绿体内基粒增多,Hill反应及光合磷酸化活力增强。分蘖末期在叶绿体反应液中添加KCl也可提高非环式光合磷酸化活力。适量施钾降低量子需要量可能与上述效应有关。钾使叶片超微结构改善:乳突大而多;硅化程度明显增加,故叶片更直立。叶水势及净光合率提高,两者呈直线正相关。灌桨期剑叶净光合率与谷粒产量呈直线正相关。     

杂色曲霉在人胃液中体外培养产生杂色曲霉素的研究

本文用正交实验设计法探讨了杂色曲霉(Aspergillus versicolr)在加有两类不同性质营养物的人胃液中产生杂色曲霉素(Sterigmatocystin,简称ST)的条件。发现在26℃斜面静置培养12天后可产生ST。加入半合成物质的最佳配伍是:蔗糖1,000.0mg;蛋白胨50.0mg;KH_2PO_4 7.5mg;MgSO_4·7H_2O_2.5mg;人胃液10.0ml,称之为SPKM人胃液培养基。加入天然物质的最佳配伍是:玉米粉0.5g;豆腐粉0.25g,人胃液10.0ml,称之为CS人胃液培养基。还进一步研究了pH值和培养时间对杂色曲霉产毒菌株在SPKM和CS人胃液培养基中生长及产生ST的影响。根据临床胃酸缺乏程度分级标准,分为pH 1.0,3.0,6.5,8.0四个组。发现在两种人胃液培养基中,无论是杂色曲霉生长,还是产生ST,pH3.0到6.5是发生质变的范围。在两种人胃液培养基pH为6.5时,37℃静置培养8天有痕量ST产生,10天后就明显增加。所以杂色曲霉产生的ST可能是慢性萎缩性胃炎易癌变的原因之一。     

An Intermediate Category of Seed Storage Behaviour?: I. COFFEE

Seeds of four cultivars of arabica coffee (Coffea arabica L.)were tested for germination following hermetic storage for upto 12 months at several different combinations of temperaturesbetween –20 °C and 15 °C and moisture contentsbetween 5% and 10% (wet basis). Most of the seeds from one cultivarwithstood desiccation to between 5% and 6% moisture content,a seed water potential of approximately –250 MPa, butthose of the remaining three cultivars were much more sensitiveto desiccation damage. Moreover, in all four cultivars, seedlongevity at cool and sub-zero temperatures, and at low moisturecontents did not conform with orthodox seed storage behaviour:viability was lost more rapidly under these conditions thanat either warmer temperatures or higher moisture contents. Theresults confirm that coffee seeds fail to satisfy the definitionsof either typical orthodox or recalcitrant seed storage behaviour.These results, therefore, point to the possibility of a thirdcategory of storage behaviour intermediate between those oforthodox and recalcitrant seeds. One of the main features ofthis category is that dry seeds are injured by low temperatures. Key words: coffee, Coffea arabica L., seed storage, seed longevity, desiccation, temperature
