卫星影象目视解译方法在湖区植被制图中的应用——以湖南洞庭湖区水域、洲滩植被图为例

植被(包括天然植被、人工植被)作为一种可更新资源始终是遥感应用专家们热心研究的课题。植被分类是植被研究的重要方面之一。利用卫星影象进行植被分类,国内外学者都进行了许多有意义的探索。本文以洞庭湖水域、洲滩植被为对象,试用卫星影象进行植被分类。本文从植被与环境相互依赖关系及在影象上的综合反映出发,提出了影象的景观生态学分析方法;即把影象上色调、形态特征与群落生态学规律结合起来分析,并以此作为植被目视解译的方法。在此基础上,将洞庭湖水域、洲滩划分成五个景观生态模型,17个基本植被类型。     

二氧化硫熏气对小麦叶片中1-氨基环丙烷-1-羧酸、1-(丙二酰氨基)环丙烷-1-羧酸含量的影响及与乙烯产生的关系

在SO_2熏气9h过程中,小麦叶片中乙烯先上升,约6h达高峰,后下降;ACC含量则随熏气时间的延长而上升。停止熏气,乙烯继续下降,ACC含量也明显降低。MACC含量从熏气3h后不断上升,脱离接触后仍继续增加。6-BA预处理对SO_2引起的乙烯和ACC上升有促进作用,但对MACC含量无明显影响。SO_2熏气提高了乙烯形成酶活性。6-BA预处理对SO_2伤害有保护作用。对逆境乙烯的产生与调节作用进行了讨论。     

B淋巴细胞在多向造血祖细胞生长中的地位

小鼠骨髓细胞在体外培养中,加入用流式自由电泳法分离所得的高纯度正常B淋巴细胞,可使多向祖细胞(CFU-mix)集落增加至5倍;加入小鼠B淋巴瘤细胞株的条件培基(M_(12.4.1)-CM)时,CFU-mix数也可增加至4倍。单集落形态学分析结果表明M_(12.4.1)-CM可加强CFU-GEMm及p-BFU-E等早期造血祖细胞的增殖与分化。小鼠高纯度B细胞样品在体外培养中加入1000 rad照射的骨髓细胞可出现CFU-mix集落,如果再加入适量的小鼠肺条件培基,则CFU-mix数量比对照大15倍,其集落性质为CFU-GEMm,GMm及p-BFU-E。在此培养中加不同稀释度抗小鼠IgM血清,结果CFU-mix的产率与抗IgM血清的浓度成直线反比关系,当加入1:10抗小鼠IgM血清时,CFU-mix为0。作者假设在一定培养条件下,IgM阳性的部分B细胞可返祖转化为CFU-mix。     

Novel approach to the study of the antigenicities and receptor functions of carbohydrate chains of glycoproteins

This report describes the construction of neoglycolipids as a novel approach to determining the antigenicities and receptor functions of minute amounts of oligosaccharides derived from glycoproteins. Reduced oligosaccharides are converted into oligosaccharide alditols by controlled selective periodate oxidation and conjugated to phosphatidyl ethanolamine dipalmitoyl by reductive amination. The resulting neoglycolipids can be rendered multivalent by binding to polyvinylchloride or silica plates or they can be incorporated into liposomes and their antigenicities and receptor activities determined in low concentrations by direct binding or inhibition of binding assays. This approach, which has been successfully used with two monoclonal antibodies and a plant lectin, should be widely applicable to the direct analysis of O- and N-glycosidically linked carbohydrate chains of glycoproteins and proteoglycans both as antigens and recognition structures of diverse receptor systems.     

Synthesis of a nonacosapeptide (beta-fragment) corresponding to the N-terminal sequence 1-29 of human liver metallothionein II and its heavy metal-binding properties

A nonacosapeptide (beta-fragment) corresponding to the N-terminal sequence 1-29 of human liver metallothionein II was synthesized by the fragment condensation method. The Cd-binding ability of the beta-fragment was much stronger than that of cysteine as thionein and synthetic alpha-fragment corresponding to the C-terminal sequence 30-61 of human liver metallothionein II. Both the alpha- and beta-fragments bound preferentially to Cu ions rather than Cd ions.     

Proteoglycans from bovine nasal and articular cartilages. Fractionation of the link proteins by wheat germ agglutinin affinity chromatography

Two forms of link protein, 46 and 51 kDa, are present in proteoglycan aggregates from both bovine nasal and bovine articular cartilages. Studies reported here show that the link proteins bind to concanavalin A, Lens culinaris agglutinin, Ricinus communis agglutinin, soybean agglutinin, and wheat germ agglutinin lectins. When the link proteins are eluted from these lectins with appropriate competing sugars, the 46- and the 51-kDa link proteins elute together and no separation is achieved. However, when the link proteins bound to wheat germ agglutinin are eluted with a 0 to 4 M guanidine hydrochloride linear gradient, a good separation of the 46- and 51-kDa link proteins is achieved. Wheat germ agglutinin affinity chromatography has been used on a preparative scale to isolate the 51-kDa link protein from mature bovine articular cartilage to homogeneity, in amounts sufficient to examine its effect on proteoglycan aggregate size and stability in sedimentation velocity studies. Proteoglycan aggregates were reassembled from proteoglycan monomers and hyaluronate in the absence of link protein, in the presence of both 46- and 51-kDa link proteins, and in the presence of the individual 51-kDa link protein. The sizes of the aggregates were compared in terms of sedimentation coefficients (s(0)20). The stability of the aggregates was compared in terms of the per cent aggregate present at pH 7 and 5. At pH 7, the sedimentation coefficients (s(0)20) of link-free aggregates, aggregates formed with both link proteins, and aggregates formed with 51-kDa link protein were 72, 93, and 112 S, respectively. Thus, the 51-kDa link protein has a pronounced effect on aggregate size. The link-free aggregate was grossly unstable, and only 36% aggregate was present at pH 5. The aggregate formed with both link proteins was effectively stabilized against dissociation and 79% aggregate was present at pH 5. The aggregate formed with 51-kDa link protein was not effectively stabilized against dissociation, and only 60% aggregate was present at pH 5. Thus, despite its pronounced effect on aggregate size, the 51-kDa link protein does not effectively stabilize the proteoglycan aggregate against dissociation. These results suggest that the 51-kDa link protein may selectively increase aggregate size, while the 46-kDa link protein may be required to effectively stabilize the proteoglycan aggregate against dissociation.     

Stimulation of proliferation ofTetrahymena pyriformis by trace rare earths

Using two Chinese strains ofTetrahymena pyriformis, S1 and BJ4, as the biological models, the effects of lighter rare earths (lanthanum, cerium, praseodymium, neodymium, samarium, and europium), representatives of heavier rare earths (yttrium and thulium), and mixed rare earths were studied. The stimulation of population growth ofTetrahymena in peptone-glucose media containing trace amounts of these elements have been observed. The mechanisms for the beneficial effects of rare earth elements in low concentrations remains to be discovered.     

Metabolic relationship between arachidonate activation and its transfer to lysophospholipids by brain microsomes

Evidence is presented to indicate a metabolic relationship between arachidonic acid activation and its transfer to lysophospholipds by brain microsomes. Thus, in the presence of 1-acylglycerophosphocholines or 1-acyl-glycerophosphoinositols, the activation of labeled arachidonate to its acyl-CoA was enhanced, and the acyl-CoA formed was, in turn, transferred to the lysophospholipids to form the respective diacyl-glycerophospholipids. The coupling effect seems to pertain mainly to the lysophospholipids which are good substrates of the acyltransferase. Other lyso-compounds were either not effective or inhibitory to the arachidonate activation process. The activation-transfer activity mediated by the fatty acid ligase and acyltransferase could be dissociated by Triton X-100, which apparently stimulated the acyl-CoA ligase activity but inhibited the acyltransferase. These results suggest that fatty acid ligase and acyltransferase are located in close proximity within the membrane domain. The existence of a close metabolic relationship between these two enzymic reactions is important for maintaining a dynamic equilibrium between the free fatty acids and the membrane phospholipids. The mechanism is also useful in regulating the cellular acyl-CoA and lysophospholipid metabolism, because both compounds have membrane perturbing properties when present in excessive quantity.     

植物磷酸烯醇式丙酮酸羧化酶的可逆胍变性

纯化的高梁叶片磷酸烯醇式丙酮酸羧化酶(PEP羧化酶)经不同浓度的盐酸胍处理变性失活后,在试验的蛋白浓度范围内,它的失活时间进程的动力学分析表明为一级反应。0.4 M盐酸胍处理25分钟后(O℃),酶的催化活性完全丧失,酶蛋白的远紫外圆二色性光谱、内源荧光光谱及免疫特异性等测定均表明酶的结构发生了深刻变化。甘油及PEP羧化酶的变构效应剂G6P和甘氨酸对酶在盐酸胍溶液中的变性作用有一定的保护效果。变性酶用复性缓冲液稀释20倍后,在最佳条件下,再经30分钟保温,酶的催化活性能恢复70％以上。G6P和甘氨酸能促进变性酶的复性,甘油亦有明显效果。随着酶活性的恢复,它的远紫外圆二色性、内源荧光及免疫特异性也随之恢复,变性酶的复性速率在常温下(25℃)比在低温下(0℃)要快得多。     

水稻胚胎形成期间蛋白质和RNA合成活力的变化

用~3H-亮氨酸和~3H-尿苷标记不同发育时期的稻胚,发现蛋白质合成活力呈四阶段变化;各种RNA的合成与胚胎各发育阶段密切有关。α-鹅膏蕈碱(1.0μg/ml)对稻胚RNA合成的抑制作用在开花后7、15和18天较强,13天时很弱。在水稻胚胎形成期间,胚细胞蛋白质合成活力高峰先后出现于胚分化后期(开花后11天)和成熟中期(18天);mRNA的合成在分化初期(7天)和成熟中期(15～18天)较强;而rRNA和/或tRNA的合成高峰则出现在胚胎器官原基分化已经完成时(13天)。
