我国植胶区土壤和橡胶树叶片含锰量的研究

我国橡胶树叶片含锰量范围为31—2167ppm,平均390ppm,高于橡胶树正常植株叶片含锰量(150—300ppm)。因此,我国橡胶树目前锰素的营养状况是良好的。由于我国植胶区地区广,成土母质和土壤类型复杂,施肥管理水平不同,以及橡胶树在生长和产胶过程中锰素营养的不断消耗,土壤含锰量变幅很大。含锰最高值与最低值相差达140多倍,代换态锰、易还原态锰最高值与最低值相差高达200倍和1240倍。土壤中易还原态锰的贮备也显不足。因此,我国部分植胶区的橡胶树出现缺锰黄叶现象。本文提出了纠正缺锰黄叶症的施肥方法、施肥用量和施肥时期。     

西双版纳茶林及橡胶林区鸟类调查

1983年5—7月,作者对云南省西双版纳的勐海、勐养和勐腊三个地区的茶林和橡胶林区的鸟类区系组成情况进行了调查,其结果若与开发前（郑作新、郑宝赉,1961,1962;A.И.伊万诺夫,1961）的记录对照,在季节时间上有所不同,但该地区的热带雨林和季雨林被开垦种植为茶林、橡胶林及其它经济作物之后,反映出各林区现在的繁殖鸟种类减少很多,鸟类区系组成情况有显著的变化。     

Harnessing the catabolic versatility of Gordonia species for detoxifying pollutants

The genus Gordonia includes variedly pigmented aerobic, non-motile, non-sporulating Gram positive (sometimes variable) coccoid forms and rods. Different isolates display distinguishing physiological traits and biochemical properties that are significant in remediation applications. Strains inherently prevalent in soils, seawater, sediments and wastewaters can degrade hydrocarbons. Immobilized cells and microbial consortia containing Gordonia species have been used for in situ applications. Hydrocarbon uptake in this Actinomycete is mediated by attachment to large droplets or by pseudosolubilization of substrates. Hydrocarbons so internalized are degraded by relevant enzymes that are innately present in this microorganism. Wild-type and recombinant strains also mediate desulfurization of polyaromatic sulfur heterocyclic compounds. This organism is metabolically capable of bringing about detoxification of phthalate esters. Two species namely, Gordonia polyisoprenivorans and Gordonia westfalica mediate degradation of rubber and the metabolic pathways involved in the process have been well-understood. Some members are able to transform nitriles into commercially valuable products and others degrade the explosive hexahydro-1,3,5-trinitro-1,3,5-triazine. Cholesterol, pyridine derivatives, fuel oxygenates, thiodiglycol, bis-(3-pentafluorophenylpropyl)-sulfide and 6:2 fluorotelomersulfonate are also biotransformed or degraded by Gordonia species. Some members of this genus are significant in the treatment of wastewaters including those that are rich in steroids and lignin. There are also several patents highlighting the commercial relevance of this genus. On account of its diverse catabolic properties, this Actinomycete has become important in bioremediation of polluted environments.     

橡胶树内生沙雷氏菌脂肪酶基因SmLipase1的克隆和表达分析

脂肪酶在洗涤剂、食品、纸浆以及生物柴油等多个工业领域被广泛应用。不同的应用领域对脂肪酶的酶学特性有不同的要求,因此挖掘脂肪酶基因资源具有重要意义。本研究报道从橡胶树内生菌Serratiamarcescens ITBB5-1中克隆得到一个脂肪酶基因,命名为Sm Lipase1,编码662个氨基酸,pI 4.82,能分泌脂肪酶到培养基中。构建重组表达载体pET22b-Sm Lipase-1,转化大肠杆菌菌株BL21(DE3)。本研究表明该转基因菌株能高效表达脂肪酶,并在平板培养基上形成较大的透明圈,转基因菌株发酵培养所获得的培养液酶活性达到26 U/mL。此外,该酶还具有催化油脂与甲醇反应生产脂肪酸甲酯的活性,在生物柴油领域具有一定的开发价值。

应用酵母双杂交系统筛选橡胶延长因子REF的互作蛋白

利用酵母双杂交系统,以橡胶树(Hevea brasiliensis)橡胶延长因子基因REF的开放阅读框(ORF)构建无自激活性的诱饵表达载体pBD-GAL4-REF,并筛选以pAD-GAL4-2.1载体构建的橡胶树胶乳cDNA文库,对阳性克隆的cDNA插入片段进行测序及生物学功能分析。通过酵母双杂交筛选,共获得5种可能与REF互作的候选蛋白质,它们分别为与诱饵蛋白REF高度同源的REF家族成员、小橡胶粒子蛋白(SRPP)、翻译控制肿瘤蛋白(TCTP)、激发子响应蛋白和泛素耦联酶E2,这表明橡胶延长因子REF除了与自身高度同源蛋白质可能存在相互作用之外,还可能与TCTP和激发子响应蛋白等其它蛋白质发生相互作用。这些结果有助于揭示橡胶粒子的生物学功能。     

云南西双版纳地区森林转型特征(英文)

森林转型是指森林覆盖率由净减少到净增加的过程。中国森林早在20世纪80年代就进入了转型期,然而,中国热带地区的总森林覆盖率虽呈增长趋势,但依旧存在着天然林大量被毁的现象。鉴于天然林对森林生态系统功能的重要作用,本研究通过加入森林类型分类的内容,以西双版纳为例探讨其森林转型的真实特征。结果表明:森林转型理论单纯以"总森林"覆盖率为研究对象,忽视了其他森林类型的动态变化,甚至掩盖了"天然林"的真实动态变化。西双版纳的森林转型主要是人工种植林的扩张所致,只是树木数量统计上的转型。事实上,自1988年以来,西双版纳的天然林一直在锐减。所以建议未来关于森林转型的研究应将"森林"区分成不同的森林类型加以研究。     

Molecular Cloning of a HMG-CoA Reductase Gene from Eucommia ulmoides Oliver

The 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl-CoA reductase (HMGR) catalyzes the conversion of HMG-CoA to mevalonate, which is the first committed step in the pathway for isoprenoid biosynthesis in plants. A full-length cDNA encoding HMGR (designated as EuHMGR, GenBank Accession No. AY796343) was isolated from Eucommia ulmoides by rapid amplification of cDNA ends (RACE). The full-length cDNA of EuHMGR comprises 2281 bp with a 1770-bp open reading frame (ORF) encoding a 590-amino-acid polypeptide with two trans-membrane domains revealed by bioinformatic analysis. Molecular modeling showed that EuHMGR is a new HMGR with a spatial structure similar to other plant HMGRs. The deduced protein has an isoelectric point (pI) of 6.89 and a calculated molecular weight of about 63 kDa. Sequence comparison analysis showed that EuHMGR had highest homology to HMGR from Hevea brasiliensis. As expected, phylogenetic tree analysis indicated that EuHMGR belongs to plant HMGR group. Tissue expression pattern analysis showed that EuHMGR is strongly expressed in the leaves and stems whereas it is only poorly expressed in the roots, which implies that EuHMGR may be a constitutively expressing gene. Functional complementation of EuHMGR in HMGR-deficient mutant yeast JRY2394 demonstrated that EuHMGR mediates the mevalonate biosynthesis in yeast.     

Estimates of general combining ability in Hevea breeding at the Rubber Research Institute of Malaysia

Summary Estimates of general combining ability of parents for yield and girth obtained separately from seedlings and their corresponding clonal families in Phases II and IIIA of the RRIM breeding programme are compared. A highly significant positive correlation (r = 0.71***) is found between GCA estimates from seedling and clonal families for yield in Phase IIIA, but not in Phase II (r = –0.03^NS) nor for girth (r= –0.27^NS) in Phase IIIA. The correlations for Phase II yield and Phase IIIA girth, however, improve when the GCA estimates based on small sample size or reversed rankings are excluded.When the best selections (based on present clonal and seedling information) are compared, all five of the parents top-ranking for yield are common in Phase IIIA but only two parents are common for yield and girth in Phases II and IIIA respectively. However, only one parent for yield in Phase II and two parents for girth in Phase IIIA would, if selected on clonal performance, have been omitted from the top ranking selections made by previous workers using seedling information.These findings, therefore, justify the choice of parents based on GCA estimates for yield obtained from seedling performance. Similar justification cannot be offered for girth, for which analysis is confounded by uninterpretable site and seasonal effects.
