以甘蓝型油菜(Brassica napus L.)豫油2号和6257的子叶和下胚轴为材料,在不同激素配比的MS培养基上诱导出了愈伤组织。将经过继代的部分愈伤转入分化培养基,分化结果表明:除基因型、外植体和分化培养基的激素配比对分化率有影响外,诱导愈伤培养基的激素配比对分化率也至关重要。豫油2号的子叶和下胚轴在最适诱导培养基(ZT 1+NAA0.5+2,4-D 0.2 mg/L)和最适分化培养基(ZT4+IAA 0.2 mg/L)组合中的愈伤分化率分别为12.5%和75%;6257的子叶和下胚轴在其最适诱导培养基(KT 2+NAA1+2,4-D 0.2 mg/L)和最适分化培养基(6-BA 4+IAA 0.02 mg/L)组合中的愈伤分化率分别为50%和37.5%。将其最适诱导培养基中的愈伤组织继代达8个月以上,建立了不同继代愈伤的再生植株无性系。     

高浓度臭氧胁迫两种园林观赏草的逆境生理特征比较

以两种常见园林观赏草：白穗狼尾草（Pennisetum alopecuroides ‘White’）和拂子茅（Calamagrostis epigeios）作为试验材料,利用开顶箱（OTCs）模拟法,研究了不同高浓度臭氧（O₃,EO）：80 nmol/mol（EO-80）、120 nmol/mol（EO-120）和160 nmol/mol（EO-160）下两种观赏草叶片逆境生理特征的变化规律。结果表明：（1）短期（7 d）内随O₃浓度增加,白穗狼尾草叶绿素和类胡萝卜素含量较对照呈下降趋势,拂子茅较对照无显著变化。（2）在EO-120、EO-160下处理7 d时,两种观赏草叶片的净光合速率（P_n）和气孔导度（g_s）较对照显著下降,且白穗狼尾草下降的幅度均大于拂子茅。（3）不同高浓度O₃胁迫下,两种观赏草叶片丙二醛（MDA）含量较对照均有所升高,其中在EO-160下处理21 d时白穗狼尾草和拂子茅叶片MDA含量分别增加30.2%（P<0.05）和13.5%（P>0.05）,表明在EO-160浓度胁迫下白穗狼尾草受到的膜脂过氧化伤害大于拂子茅。（4）在EO-120和EO-160下处理21 d时,白穗狼尾草叶片可溶性蛋白含量较对照分别显著下降24.2%和43.1%,而拂子茅较对照分别下降19.0%和22.9%（P<0.05）。（5）与对照组相比,高浓度O₃下两种观赏草叶片的过氧化物酶（POD）活性随胁迫时间延长呈下降趋势,超氧化物歧化酶（SOD）活性呈先升后降。（6）综合以上生理特征比较及主成成分分析表明,佛子茅比白穗狼尾草更耐O₃,前者在O₃高污染地区可能会有更高的应用价值。     

Dynamics of Random Boolean Networks under Fully Asynchronous Stochastic Update Based on Linear Representation

A novel algebraic approach is proposed to study dynamics of asynchronous random Boolean networks where a random number of nodes can be updated at each time step (ARBNs). In this article, the logical equations of ARBNs are converted into the discrete-time linear representation and dynamical behaviors of systems are investigated. We provide a general formula of network transition matrices of ARBNs as well as a necessary and sufficient algebraic criterion to determine whether a group of given states compose an attractor of length in ARBNs. Consequently, algorithms are achieved to find all of the attractors and basins in ARBNs. Examples are showed to demonstrate the feasibility of the proposed scheme.     

Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi-enhanced resistance against Phytophthora sojae infection on soybean leaves is mediated by a network involving hydrogen peroxide, jasmonic acid, and the metabolism of carbon and nitrogen

The arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) enhance the resistance to pathogen infection in host plant. However, it is unclear how the AMF are involved in the systemic acquired resistance of host plant against pathogen. Here, an experiment was carried out to clarify the role of the AMF in soybean’s defense against the infection from pathogen Phytophthora sojae. It was found that the AMF contributed to the resistance of soybean against Phytophthora sojae by the release of hydrogen peroxide and by the accumulation of jasmonic acid in response to pathogenic invasion. Furthermore, the trade of nitrogen (N) from the fungus for carbon from the host was accelerated in the AM symbiosis in the defense reaction, which was indicated by the increased soluble sugar level, NO content and enzyme activities involved in N metabolism in the AM symbiosis.     

不同林龄油茶人工林土壤酶化学计量及其影响因素

土壤酶化学计量比是揭示微生物生长代谢过程及评价土壤养分资源限制状况的重要指标。油茶是中国南方主要的木本油料作物,近年来愈来愈受关注,但鲜有从生态化学计量学的角度深入理解人工经济林的土壤微生物养分限制状况。本文以亚热带地区不同林龄油茶人工林土壤为研究对象,采用时空互代法在区域尺度上随机选取32个不同林龄油茶人工林并将其分为四个林龄组(9年幼龄林;9—20年近熟林;21—60年成熟林; 60年过熟林),通过测定土壤碳(C)、氮(N)、磷(P)转化酶活性(β-葡糖苷酶(BG)、α-纤维素酶(CBH)、β-乙酰葡糖胺糖苷酶(NAG)、亮氨酸氨基肽酶(LAP)、酸性磷酸酶(AP))及土壤理化因子,探讨不同林龄油茶人工林土壤C、N、P转化酶化学计量特征及其与土壤理化因子的关系。结果表明:五种C、N、P转化酶活性均有随林龄增大而增加的趋势,且AP活性显著高于其它四种酶活性。相关分析结果表明,五种土壤C、N、P转化酶活性均与土壤有机碳和总氮显著相关,与土壤总磷和速效磷含量不相关。土壤酶化学计量比ln(CBH+BG)∶ln(NAG+LAP)、ln(CBH+BG)∶ln(AP)和ln(NAG+LAP)∶ln(AP)均随林龄增大而一定程度增加。亚热带区油茶人工林土壤酶C∶N∶P化学计量比为1∶1∶1.5,这与全球生态系统土壤酶C∶N∶P化学计量比1∶1∶1相偏离,表明亚热带地区油茶人工林土壤微生物生长受磷素限制。冗余分析(RDA)进一步揭示土壤有机碳含量是影响土壤酶活性和酶化学计量比的主要因子。因此,在油茶人工林经营管理中应考虑磷和外源碳的投入,提高土壤微生物酶活性,缓解油茶人工林生态系统的磷限制。研究结果可为亚热带区油茶人工林土壤养分管理和可持续利用提供基础理论支撑。     

Elevated CO<Subscript>2</Subscript> ameliorated oxidative stress induced by elevated O<Subscript>3</Subscript> in <Emphasis Type="Italic">Quercus mongolica</Emphasis>

Using open top chambers, the effects of elevated O₃ (80 nmol mol⁻¹) and elevated CO₂ (700 μmol mol⁻¹), alone and in combination, were studied on young trees of Quercus mongolica. The results showed that elevated O₃ increased malondialdehyde content and decreased photosynthetic rate after 45 days of exposure, and prolonged exposure (105 days) induced significant increase in electrolyte leakage and reduction of chlorophyll content. All these changes were alleviated by elevated CO₂, indicating that oxidative stress on cell membrane and photosynthesis was ameliorated. After 45 days of exposure, elevated O₃ stimulated activities of superoxide dismutase (SOD, EC 1.15.1.1) and ascorbate peroxidase (APX, EC 1.11.1.11), but the stimulation was dampened under elevated CO₂ exposure. Furthermore, ascorbate (AsA) and total phenolics contents were not higher in the combined gas treatment than those in elevated O₃ treatment. It indicates that the protective effect of elevated CO₂ against O₃ stress was achieved hardly by enhancing ROS scavenging ability after 45 days of exposure. After 105 days of exposure, elevated O₃ significantly decreased activities of SOD, catalase (CAT, EC 1.11.1.6) and APX and AsA content. Elevated CO₂ suppressed the O₃-induced decrease, which could ameliorate the oxidative stress in some extent. In addition, elevated CO₂ increased total phenolics content in the leaves both under ambient O₃ and elevated O₃ exposure, which might contribute to the protection against O₃-induced oxidative stress as well.     

Tracing dietary origins of aphids and the predatory beetle Propylea japonica in agricultural systems using stable isotope analyses

Tracing dietary origins of the predatory beetle Propylea japonica (Thunberg) (Coleoptera: Coccinellidae) aids understanding their roles in the food web and provides information to develop strategies for effective conservation in agroecosystems comprised of wheat [Triticum aestivum L. (Poaceae)], cotton [Hirsutum spp. (Malvaceae)], and maize [Zea mays L. (Poaceae)]. Intrinsic markers of carbon and nitrogen stable isotope ratios (δ¹³C and δ¹⁵N) in P. japonica need to be developed to ascertain the source(s) of diet. Experiments were carried out to examine the changes of δ¹³C and δ¹⁵N among the three crops, pests (wheat, cotton, and maize aphids; all Hemiptera: Aphididae), and P. japonica fed on aphids of each of the three crops. Results indicated that δ¹³C values in P. japonica fed on wheat, cotton, and maize aphids were ?27.2 to ?26.5‰, ?24.2 to ?23.9‰, and ?11.0 to ?10.7‰, respectively, whereas their δ¹⁵N values were 1.1 to 2.9‰, 6.0 to 7.4‰, and ?0.6 to 0.1‰, respectively. δ¹³C and δ¹⁵N plots clearly identify the three crops, the dietary origins of the aphids, and the host origins of the aphid prey consumed by the ladybird beetles, as each pathway displays a non‐overlapping pattern. Based on the values of δ¹³C and δ¹⁵N of the three food webs, dietary origins can be traced in the predatory beetle P. japonica derived from wheat, cotton, and maize crops.     

桃小食心虫越冬幼虫过冷却能力及体内生化物质动态

为研究桃小食心虫Carposina niponensis Walsingham自然种群过冷却能力的变化动态,从生理生化水平上探讨桃小食心虫幼虫耐寒机制,测定了桃小食心虫幼虫在越冬前后不同月份的过冷却点、体内含水量、脂肪、蛋白和糖原的含量。结果表明:桃小食心虫越冬幼虫的过冷却点(super-cooling point, SCP)和结冰点(freezing point, FP)随越冬期温度降低而逐渐降低, 并在冬季过后随温度升高而逐渐升高,其中在3月份时最低,分别为-14.89℃和-9.95℃,显著低于其它月份。幼虫体内含水量、总蛋白含量、糖原含量在越冬前后变化趋势与SCP变化相似并且各自又有不同的特点,但在2月份时都达最低,分别为44.83%、32.44μg/mg、1.95μg/mg。幼虫体内的总脂肪含量由越冬初期(2008-10)的29.04％逐渐降低至越冬后期(2009-06)的15.56％。结果说明桃小食心虫幼虫越冬过程中体内水分、总蛋白、糖原等生化物质含量的变化与其抗寒能力存在一定的联系,显示了其对冬季温度变化的生态适应。     

Continuous preparation of (S)-3-hydroxy-3-phenylpropionate by asymmetric reduction of 3-oxo-3-phenylpropionic acid ethyl ester with <Emphasis Type="Italic">Saccharomyces cerevisiae</Emphasis> CGMCC No.2266 in a membrane reactor

In this study, (S)-3-hydroxy-3-phenylpropionate was prepared continuously by coupling microbial transformation and membrane separation. The effect of several factors on membrane flux, reactor capacity, and reaction conversion were investigated. A kinetic model of the continuous reduction process was also developed. The appropriate molecular weight cut-off of the ultrafiltration membrane was 30 kDa. The reactor capacity reached a maximum of 0.136/h at a biomass concentration and membrane flux of 86 g/L (dry weight/reaction volume) and 20 mL/h, respectively. The (S)-3-hydroxy-3-phenylpropionate yield was 3.68 mmol/L/day after continuous reduction over seven days. The enantiometric excess of (S)-3-hydroxy-3-phenylpropionate reached above 99.5%. The kinetic constants of continuous reduction were as follows: r _m = 3.00 × 10⁻³ mol/L/h, k _cat = 3.49 × 10⁻⁴ mol/L/h, k ₁ = 3.09 × 10⁻² mol/L, and k ₂ = 5.00 × 10⁻⁷ mol/L. The kinetic model was in good agreement with the experimental data obtained during continuous reduction. Compared with batch reduction, continuous reduction can significantly improve the catalytic efficiency of microbial cells and increase the reactor capacity.
