鹅观草与大麦属间杂种的形态和细胞遗传学研究

用活体/离体幼胚培养法成功地获得了鹅观草(Roegneria kamooji,2n=12,SSHHYY)与大麦(Hordeum vulgare,2n=14,11)间的属间杂种。杂交结实率为31.4％,胚培成苗率60.9％。杂种表现一年生,具有很强的生活力,形态上偏向鹅观草。F_1自交不孕,用大麦回交亦不结实。杂种具有预期的2n=28(SHYI)条染色体,花粉母细胞减数分裂中期Ⅰ平均形成26.38个单价体,0.67个棒状二价体,0.12个环状二价体和0.02个三价体。本文对双亲染色体组间的同源性以及在大麦育种中利用鹅观草种质的可能性进行了讨论。     

节节麦×硬粒小麦-簇毛麦双二倍体杂种F_1可孕配子形成途径的细胞学分析

对节节麦×硬粒小麦-簇毛麦双二倍体杂种F_1减数分裂的观察结果表明:该杂种F_1的可孕性是由于杂种F_1产生了大量的(近于)未减数配子的结果。在一些PMC中,单价体中期Ⅰ集结到赤道板上,后期Ⅰ染色单体均等分离产生二分体,二分体发育成有功能的花粉粒。由于染色(单)体的丢失或不分离可产生大量的不完整的重复、缺失未减数配子,完整未减数配子的频率很低。杂种F_1和普通小麦杂交一代及F_2代的细胞学分析结果和F_1配子形成途径分析结果一致。推测从大量的F_2代中可能筛选到自发八倍体(DDAABBVV)。     

凤眼莲根分泌物氨基酸组分对根际肠杆菌属F2细菌的趋化作用

凤眼莲(Eichhornia crassipes)的根分泌物中含有Met等多种氨基酸,其中Met、GABA、Gly、Ala、Asp、Ser、Val和Leu(10^-7～10^-2mol·L^-1)均对凤眼莲的根际肠杆菌属F₂(Enterobacter sp.F₂)细菌有强烈的正趋化作用;Glu、Thr和His(10^-7～10^-3mol·L^-1)也对该菌有一定的正趋化作用;而Lys、Cys、Arg、Tyr、Pro、Asn、Gln、Ile、Phe和Typ则对该菌表现出一定的负趋化作用.对细菌的正趋化作用存在一个趋化物的最适浓度范围.具有正趋化作用的氨基酸在凤眼莲根际的浓度都较高,而具有负趋化作用的浓度则较低,这正是凤眼莲与该根际细菌结合为根际微生态系统的原因之一.     

Occurrence of Regulated and Emerging Iodinated DBPs in the Shanghai Drinking Water

Drinking water chlorination plays a pivotal role in preventing pathogen contamination against water-borne disease. However, chemical disinfection leads to the formation of halogenated disinfection by products (DBPs). Many DBPs are highly toxic and are of health concern. In this study, we conducted a comprehensive measurements of DBPs, including iodoacetic acid (IAA), iodoform (IF), nine haloacetic acids and four trihalomethanes in drinking waters from 13 water plants in Shanghai, China. The results suggested that IAA and IF were found in all the water treatment plants, with maximum levels of 1.66 µg/L and 1.25 µg/L for IAA and IF, respectively. Owing to deterioration of water quality, the Huangpu River has higher IAA and IF than the Yangtze River. Our results also demonstrated that low pH, high natural organic matter, ammonia nitrogen, and iodide in source waters increased IAA and IF formation. Compared to chlorine, chloramines resulted in higher concentration of iodinated DBP, but reduced the levels of trihalomethanes. This is the first study to reveal the widespread occurrence of IAA and IF in drinking water in China. The data provide a better understanding on the formation of iodinated disinfection byproducts and the findings should be useful for treatment process improvement and disinfection byproducts controls.     

利用SSR标记分析云南、西藏和新疆小麦的遗传多样性

用185对SSR引物对52份中国西部特有小麦的遗传多样性进行了研究分析。在31份云南小麦材料中,共检测到488个等位变异,每一个SSR引物可检测到1至9个等位变异,平均为2.64个;平均PIC值为0.2764。在15份西藏小麦材料中,共检测到472个等位变异,每个引物可扩增出1到8个等位变异,平均为2.55个;平均PIC值为0.3082。在6份新疆小麦材料中,共检测到308个等位变异,每一个SSR引物可检测1到5个等位变异,平均为1.66个;平均PIC值为0.1944。185对SSR引物在云南、西藏和新疆小麦的21条染色体、7个部分同源群和3个染色体组上检测到的等位位点的多态性存在明显差异。云南、西藏和新疆小麦均以3B染色体较高,而1D染色体最低;在7个部分同源群中,均以第三部分同源群最高,第六部分同源群最低;在A、B和D染色体组上,均以B染色体组最高,D染色体组最低,A染色体组居中。利用185对SSR引物计算了云南、西藏和新疆小麦群体内及其群体间的遗传距离(GD)和平均遗传距离,结果显示,西藏小麦和云南小麦群体内的平均遗传距离要高于新疆小麦,而云南小麦和西藏小麦间的平均遗传距离低于两者与新疆小麦的平均遗传距离。聚类分析结果也表明,云南小麦和西藏小麦的亲缘关系较近,但两者与新疆小麦的亲缘关系相对较远。     

Potentiating effect of distant sites in non-phosphorylated cyclic peptide antagonists of the Grb2-SH2 domain

Without the presence of a phosphotyrosyl group, a phage library derived non-phosphorylated cyclic peptide ligand of Grb2-SH2 domain attributed its high affinity and specificity to well-defined and highly favored interactions of its structural elements with the binding pocket of the protein. We have disclosed a significant compensatory role of the Glu(2-) sidechain for the absence of the phosphate functionality on Tyr(0) in the peptide ligand, cyclo(CH(2)CO-Glu(2-)-Leu-Tyr(0)-Glu-Asn-Val-Gly-Met(5+)-Tyr-Cys)-amide (termed G1TE). In this study, we report the importance of hydrophobic residue at the Tyr+5 site in G1TE. Both acidic and basic amino acid substitutes are disfavored at this position, and replacement of Met with beta-tert-butyl-Ala was found to improve the antagonist properties. Besides, the polarity of the cyclization linkage was implicated as important in stabilizing the favored binding conformation. Oxidation of the thioether linkage into sulfoxide facilitated the binding to Grb2-SH2 markedly. Simultaneous modification of the three distant sites within G1TE provided the best agent with an IC(50) of 220 nM, which is among the most potent non-phosphorous- and non-phosphotyrosine-mimic containing Grb2-SH2 domain inhibitors yet reported. This potent peptidomimetic provides a novel template for the development of chemotherapeutic agents for the treatment of erbB2-related cancer. Biological assays on G1TE(Gla(2-)) in which the original residue of Glu(2-) was substituted by gamma-carboxyglutamic acid (Gla) indicated that it could inhibit the interaction between activated GF receptor and Grb2 protein in cell homogenates of MDA-MB-453 breast cancer cells at the 2 microM level. More significantly, both G1TE(Gla(2-)) alone and the conjugate of G1TE(Gla(2-)) with a peptide carrier can effectively inhibit intracellular association of erbB2 and Grb2 in the same cell lines with IC(50) of 50 and 2 microM, respectively.     

新疆三种独尾草的适宜分布及其对未来气候变化的响应

研究国内仅分布于新疆的3种短命植物阿尔泰独尾草（Eremurus altaicus）、粗柄独尾草（Eremurus inderiensis）和异翅独尾草（Eremurus anisopterus）的适宜分布及其对未来气候的可能响应,对新疆短命植物资源的分布、利用与科学保护具有重要意义。共收集了64个自然分布点,筛选了6个气候因子和2个地形因子数据,利用MaxEnt模型和地理信息系统ArcGIS软件模拟了当前气候情景下3种独尾草的生态适宜性,探讨影响3种植物分布的主导因子及其数值范围,预测3种独尾草的适宜分布对未来气候变化（2001-2040年、2041-2080年,基于温室气体中等排放情景：SSP2-4.5共享社会经济路径）的可能响应。结果表明：（1）基准气候下,3种独尾草在新疆的适宜分布存在较大差异：阿尔泰独尾草主要分布于伊犁河谷、天山北麓、阿尔泰山中段和准噶尔西部山地;两种沙生独尾草均分布于天山中段的绿洲-荒漠区过渡带,古尔班通古特沙漠西南部沙地;（2）最干月降水量（1-25mm）主要限制了阿尔泰独尾草的适宜分布;温度季节性变动指数（1150-1672）主要限制了两种沙生独尾草的适宜分布;（3）2001-2040年和2041-2080年,3种独尾草的适宜分布整体均呈缩减趋势：阿尔泰独尾草向天山北麓和准噶尔西部山地略微缩减;粗柄独尾草和异翅独尾草向古尔班通古特沙漠南缘略微缩减。
