环境因子对两种海洋双壳类幼体趋性行为中的调节作用

本文研究了温度、盐度和重金属等几种因子对缢蛏和长牡蛎幼体趋地性和趋光性行为的影响。结果表明:1)降低温度能增强缢蛏幼体的正趋地性,而长牡蛎幼体却由正趋地性转变为负趋地性,同时两种幼体的正趋光性受到抑制作用;升高温度对缢蛏幼体趋光性的影响不明显,但能加强牡蛎幼体的正趋光性。2)盐度提高时缢蛏幼体的正趋光性趋于增强,正趋地性趋于减弱。3)重金属Cu和Zn在各自的亚致死浓度下具有提高缢蛏幼体正趋地性和降低正趋光性的作用,而牡蛎幼体的正趋地性却趋于减弱,正趋光性趋于增强。本文据上述幼体的行为变化,还讨论了这几种因子对幼体垂直分布的调节作用。     

人体小卫星DNA探针的制备

根据人体小卫星DNA核心顺序,化学合成长23碱基寡核苷酸探针,筛选人体基因组文库,旨在获得能用作遗传分析探针的小卫星顺序。结果得到15个含小卫星的阳性重组子。随机取其一(C_(35.9))作探针,试做群体分析。所有个体均可检出多条杂交带。其中某些带具有多态性。在一定检测条件下,检出的DNA图谱在有限的个体内具有个体特异性。结果表明筛选文库得到的小卫星顺序可用于小卫星多态性的检测。其它小卫星探针的筛选和应用性研究正在进行。     

小麦—天兰偃麦草—黑麦三属杂种花粉植株诱导条件的研究

研究表明,三属杂种处于单核中晚期阶段的花粉最适于诱导形成愈伤组织。低温预处理对促进三属杂种花粉愈伤组织的诱导有一定的作用。利用以马铃薯提取物为基础物质的马铃薯-Ⅱ培养基作诱导培养基,其愈伤组织诱导与分化的频率比目前两个较好的合成培养基要高。同一个三属杂种F_1春、秋播种植株之间在形成愈伤组织的能力上有较大的差异,秋播材料形成愈伤组织的能力明显高于春播材料。F_(?)杂种植株诱导愈伤组织和分化植株的频率均比F_1杂种明显提高。     

维西香茶菜的二萜成分

维西香茶菜Rabdosia weisiensis C. Y. Wu产云南西北部海拔2600米沟谷中,其化学成分的研究未见报道。从该植物叶的乙醚提取物中,分得两个二萜成分,一为已知成分trichorabdal A(2),一为新成分,命名为维西香茶菜甲素weisiensin A(1)。 维西香茶菜甲素weisiensin A(1),C_(26)H_(36)O_9,mp 298—300℃,其~(13)C NMR谱显示存在三个CH_3,三个CH_2,八个CH,三个四取代碳,三个Ac,二个烯碳和一个羰基     

长江三角洲石荠苧属群体水平变异式样的研究

本文应用数量分类学方法对长江三角洲地区5种石荠苧属植物的群体进行了表征变异式样的分析,并参照繁育方式、生态适应和染色体数目等证据,来揭示种内群体间变异式样的差异及其与环境条件的关系,并探讨了这些种可能的种系发生关系。笔者认为石荠苧属Mosla在进化的早期就已经分化为两个大支,在分类上即表现为两个组——唇萼组和石荠苧组的分化。     

紫茎泽兰的化学成分初报

紫茎泽兰(Eupalorium adenophorum Spreng)原产中美墨西哥,现在滇南一带广泛分布,对林、牧业生产造成严重危害。其化学成分研究未见报道。 从紫茎泽兰的叶和花序中,分到九个单体,经详细的光谱解析和与标准品对照,其中五个成分的化学结构分别为:正三十二烷n-dotriacontane(1),β-谷甾醇β-sitosterol(2),豆甾醇stigmasterol(3),蒲公英醇棕榈酸酯taraxasteryl palmitate(4),蒲公英醇乙酸酯taraxastcryl acetate(5)。     

A detailed analysis of early events during in-vitro fertilization of bovine follicular oocytes

Bovine follicular oocytes collected at slaughter were matured and fertilized in vitro with in-vitro capacitated spermatozoa. Analysis of 621 penetrated ova fixed at various times after in-vitro insemination led to definition of 6 stages of early development. A time sequence for sperm penetration, sperm head decondensation, male pronucleus formation, the activation of second meiotic division, female chromosome decondensation and pronucleus development was established. First sperm penetration into the ooplasm was recorded 6 h after insemination; 1-2 h was required for the sperm head to decondense and another 4-6 h to develop into the opposing pronucleus stage. Synkaryosis and first cleavage occurred 28 h after fertilization. Examination of the early stages revealed four types of abnormalities, i.e. polyspermy, polygyny, asynchrony between male and female pronucleus development, and preactivation of cytokinesis.     

Characteristics of Five New Photoautotrophic Suspension Cultures Including Two Amaranthus Species and a Cotton Strain Growing on Ambient CO(2) Levels

Suspension cultures of cotton (Gossypium hirsutum), Amaranthus cruentus, A. powellii, Datura innoxia, and a Nicotiana tabacum-N. glutinosa fusion hybrid were adapted to grow photoautotrophically under continuous light. The cotton strain grew with an atmosphere of ambient CO₂ (about 0.06 to 0.07% in the culture room) while the other strains required elevated CO₂ levels (5%). Photoautotrophy was indicated by the requirement for CO₂ and for light for growth. The strains grew with doubling times near 14 days and had from 50 to 600 micrograms of chlorophyll per gram of fresh weight. The cells grew in small to moderate sized clumps with cell sizes from 40 to 70 micrometers (diameter). Like most photoautotrophic cultures described so far the ribulose 1,5-bisphosphate carboxylase (RuBPcase) activity levels were well below those of mature leaves. The phosphoenolpyruvate carboxylase levels were not elevated in the C₄Amaranthus species. The cells showed high dark respiration rates and had lower net CO₂ fixation under high O₂ conditions. Dark CO₂ fixation rates ranged from near 10 to 30% of that in light. Fluorescence emission spectra measurements show that the cell antenna pigments systems of the four strains examined are similar to that of chloroplasts of green plants. The cotton strain which was capable of growth under ambient CO₂ conditions showed the unique properties of a high RuBPcase activation level in ambient CO₂ and a stable ability to show net CO₂ fixation in 21% O₂ conditions.     

Applied anatomy of the anterolateral femoral flap

A study of the source of the blood supply to the anterolateral femoral flap was carried out on 42 lower limbs of adult cadavers (among them 35 cadavers with injection of red latex and 1 with india ink into the arteries and 6 vascular cast specimens), and the surface locations of the vascular pedicle were detected on 50 healthy adults. It was found that the descending branch of the lateral circumflex femoral vessel was an ideal axial vessel. There are constant perforating branches of the myocutaneous artery or cutaneous branches from the intermuscular space to the anterolateral femoral skin. The area extends about 12 x 30 cm. Within the flap, the anterior branch of the anterolateral cutaneous nerve of the high is located. This flap has been widely used for free transplantation in China since 1983 with satisfactory results.
