Photooxidation products of primaquine. Structure, antimalarial activity and hemolytic effects

Photooxidation of primaquine (1) and 5-hydroxyprimaquine (5) afforded a blue dye for which o-quinone structure 4 was elaborated. Similar oxidation of N-ethoxyacetylprimaquine (10) afforded o-quinone 11. Tissue schizontocidal activity of 4 and 11, and bisquinolylmethine 3 prepared earlier, showed that none of them had noteworthy antimalarial activity, but all three produced methemoglobin.     

The Influence of Auxin and Cytokinin on Proliferation and Morphology of Somatic Embryos of Picea abies (L.) Karst

Embryogenic cell-lines of Picea abies were initiated from maturezygotic embryos and cultured on medium containing 2,4-D andBA The cell-lines were categorized into two main groups (solar/polarand undeveloped embryos), based on the morphology of the somaticembryos and their ability to go through a maturation processwhen treated with ABA The cell-lines were transferred to mediacontaining (1) 2,4-D and BA, (2) only BA, (3) only 2,4-D or(4) no growth regulators When cultured on a medium containingboth 2,4-D and BA new somatic embryos were continually formedIn contrast, when they were cultured without one or both ofthe growth regulators no new somatic embryos were formed Solar/polarand undeveloped embryos responded in the same way On a mediumcontaining only BA the somatic embryos already present increasedin size and developed an extremely large embryonic region Ona medium containing only 2,4-D the embryos already present becamedisorganized into loose aggregates When transferred from a mediumcontaining both 2,4-D and BA to one containing ABA, mature somaticembryos developed from the solar/polar type but not from theundeveloped type The ability of the solar/polar somatic embryosto go through a maturation process decreased when they wereprecultured on a medium lacking auxin and was lost when theywere precultured on medium lacking cytokinin The cell-linescontaining undeveloped somatic embryos produced mature somaticembryos in one cell-line out of three that had been culturedon the medium containing only BA Auxin, cytokinin, embryogenic cultures, Norway spruce, somatic embryos, Picea abies (L.)

鼎湖山苗圃和主要森林土壤CO2排放和CH4吸收对模拟N沉降的短期响应

研究了鼎湖山生物圈保护区苗圃(幼苗)、马尾松、混交林和季风常绿阔叶林(季风林)土壤CO2排放和CH4吸收的一些特征及其对模拟N沉降增加的响应.结果表明,土壤CO2日(白天)平均排放量的大小顺序为(平均值±标准误)苗圃(258±62mg·m-2·h-1)＞季风林(177±42 mg·m-2·h-1)＞马尾松林(162±39 mg·m-2·h-1)＞混交林(126±30 mg·m-2·h-1).土壤CH4日(白天)平均吸收量的大小顺序为马尾松林(-0.15±0.02 mg·m-2·h-1)＞季风林(-0.08±0.01 mg·m-2·h-1)＞混交林(-0.07±0.01 mg·m-2·h-1)＞苗圃(-0.05±0.01 mg·m-2·h-1).低N(50 kg N·hm-2·a-1)和中N(100kg N·hm-2·a-1)处理对苗圃、马尾松林和混交林样地土壤CO2日平均排放量的影响均不明显,高N(150 kg N·hm-2·a-1)处理对苗圃土壤CO2的日平均排放量也无显著影响,但倍高N(300kg N·hm-2·a-1)处理显著促进苗圃样地土壤CO2的排放.然而,所有N(低N、中N和高N)处理均显著促进季风林土壤CO2日平均排放量,且这种促进作用随N处理水平的升高而增加.N处理显著促进季风林和马尾松林土壤对CH4吸收速率,但对混交林土壤CH4吸收则无明显的影响.在苗圃样地,除倍高N外,N处理对土壤CH4吸收速率也无显著作用,但倍高N处理使苗圃土壤发生功能转变,即从CH4汇转变为CH4源.     

RT—PCR法检测我国东南沿海凡纳滨对虾的桃拉综合征病毒

桃拉综合征病毒（Taura syndrome virus,TSV）引致养殖及野生对虾急性传染病,14d至40d的幼虾极易感。该病毒属微RNA病毒科（Picornaviridae）,近年来研究者认为应归类为类蟋蟀麻痹病毒属（Cricket paralysis—like viruses）,因其基因组特征更接近于前所未分类的昆虫单股RNA病毒,如丙型果蝇病毒。     

几种药用植物精油的抗真菌活性研究

研究了作用浓度为0：7-4．0μL/mL的南方药用植物香茅（Cymbopogon citratus）、广藿香（Pogostemon cablin（Blanco）Benth）、大叶桉（Eucalyptus robusta Smith）和蛇床（Cnidium monnier（L.）Cusson）的精油对6种植物病原真菌的抑制活性。结果表明,大叶桉、广藿香和香茅精油对串珠镰刀病菌（Fussarium moniliforme）、玉米弯孢霉菌（Curvjlaria lunata）对多种供试植物病原真菌的生长有明显抑制活性,其中,香茅精油在浓度为3．3μL/mL时,能完全抑制大部分供试真菌的生长。但不同精油对于各病原真菌的抑制率有一定差异。本研究为复合植物精油抗真菌农药的开发提供依据。     

Ad5F35重组腺病毒载体研究进展

在分子生物学领域,腺病毒载体是将外源基因导入动物细胞内经常使用的载体之一。由于其靶细胞种类多,转导效率高,对增殖期及静止期细胞均有很高的转导效率,不整合到宿主基因组中,不会引起插入突变,理化性质较稳定,易于分离纯化,可容纳较大的目的基因片段等优势,因而被广泛用于基因治疗、体外基因转染及基因疫苗制备等实验及临床研究中,其中Ad5F35型腺病毒载体为近年来研究热点之一,此文就其研究进展作一综述。1腺病毒的结构和特点腺病毒为无包膜的DNA病毒,直径为60~80nm,基因组DNA呈双螺旋线形,长约36kb,在基因组两端各有一个100~150bp的…     

A field facility to simulate climate warming and increased nutrient supply in shallow aquatic ecosystems

Global warming and excess nitrogen deposition can exert strong impacts on aquatic populations, communities, and ecosystems. However, experimental data to establish clear cause-and-effect relationships in naturally complex field conditions are scarce in aquatic environments. Here, we describe the design and performance of a unique outdoor enclosure facility used to simulate warming, increased nitrogen supply, and both factors combined in a littoral freshwater wetland dominated by common reed, Phragmites australis. The experimental system effectively simulated a 2.8 °C climate warming scenario over an extended period, capturing the natural temperature variations in the wetland at diel and seasonal scales with only small deviations. Excess nitrogen supply enhanced nitrate concentrations especially in winter when it was associated with increased concentration of ammonium and dissolved organic carbon. Nitrogen also reduced dissolved oxygen concentrations, particularly in the summer. Importantly, by stimulating biological activity, warming enhanced the nitrogen uptake capacity of the wetland during the winter, emphasizing the need for multifactorial global change experiments that examine both warming and nitrogen loading in concert. Establishing similar experiments across broad environmental gradients holds great potential to provide robust assessments of the impacts of climate change on shallow aquatic ecosystems.
