中水技术污水处理工艺去除病毒的效果

中水技术开发既可缓解水资源的紧缺,又能改善城市环境。本文报道用石英粉吸附/洗脱和浓缩棒脱水的二步浓集水病毒技术(回收率为25.4～37.3％),研究中水技术不同处理工艺去除病毒的效果。结果,二级处理可去除掺入病毒的98.9％,结合三级处理的混凝沉淀和过滤,可去除99.976％,再加活性炭吸附或加氯消毒,所得中水分别去除掺入病毒的99.986％和99.991％。经首都机场中水道试验厂水样检测表明,中水中未检测到病毒(<0.23PFU/L)。

Isolation and preliminary characterization of gas1-1, a mutation causing partial suppression of the phenotype conferred by the gibberellin-insensitive (gai) mutation in Arabidopsis thaliana (L.) Heyhn

The semi-dominant gai mutation of arabidopsis confers a dark-green dwarf phenotype resembling that of gibberellin (GA)-deficient mutants. In contrast to GA-deficient mutants, gai mutants do not respond to GA treatments and accumulate higher levels of bioactive GAs than are found in wild-type controls. The gai mutation thus alters the responses of plant cells to GA, indicating that the GAI (wild-type) gene product is involved in GA reception and/or signal transduction. Here we describe the isolation and preliminary characterization of a mutation, gas1-1, which is not linked to gai and which partially suppresses the effect of the gai mutation. Double mutant, gai gas1-1, homozygotes are less severely dwarfed and lighter green than gai GAS1 controls. However, comparisons of the effects of treatments with exogenous GA demonstrate that gas1-1 does not increase the GA responsiveness of the gai mutant. Thus the gas1-1 mutation appears to reduce the GA-dependency of plant growth, and identifies a gene (GAS1) whose product is a candidate GA signal-transduction component.Abbreviations GA gibberellin - GA₃ gibberellic acid We thank Maarten Koornneef (Wageningen Agricultural University, The Netherlands) for providing mutant seed stocks; Mark Aarts and Bernard Mulligan (University of Nottingham, UK) for performing the -irradiation.

Epidermal restriction confers robustness to organ shapes

The shape of comparable tissues and organs is consistent among individuals of a given species, but how this consistency or robustness is achieved remains an open question. The interaction between morphogenetic factors determines organ formation and subsequent shaping, which is ultimately a mechanical process. Using a computational approach, we show that the epidermal layer is essential for the robustness of organ geometry control. Specifically, proper epidermal restriction allows organ asymmetry maintenance, and the tensile epidermal layer is sufficient to suppress local variability in growth, leading to shape robustness. The model explains the enhanced organ shape variations in epidermal mutant plants. In addition, differences in the patterns of epidermal restriction may underlie the initial establishment of organ asymmetry. Our results show that epidermal restriction can answer the longstanding question of how cellular growth noise is averaged to produce precise organ shapes, and the findings also shed light on organ asymmetry establishment.

不同类型双色百合的花色形成分析

以3个花朵双色的亚洲百合品种(‘Black Eye’、‘Pieton’和‘Twosome’)为试验材料,通过对不同部位(花被片上部和下部)的花色表型、色素成分和含量进行综合分析,解析不同类型双色百合的形成机理。结果表明:(1)于紫色花被片下部检测到矢车菊素3-O-β-芸香糖苷一种花青苷,且在花被片下部深紫色的‘Black Eye’中含量最高,而白色、黄色和橙色的花被片上部均未检测到花青苷。(2)3个品种的双色百合花被片上部和下部共检测到15种类胡萝卜素成分,不同品种花被片上部和下部中类胡萝卜素含量差异明显;‘Pieton’花被片中的特征成分为花药黄质、紫黄质和β-胡萝卜素,‘Twosome’花被片中的特征成分为辣椒红素,‘Black Eye’花被片中未检测到特征类胡萝卜素成分。(3)主成分分析发现不同百合品种中类胡萝卜素成分和含量具有明显差异,而同一品种花被片上部和下部类胡萝卜素组成接近但含量差异显著。(4)回归分析发现,矢车菊素-3-O-β-芸香糖苷、辣椒红素、八氢番茄红素、玉米黄质和β-胡萝卜素是影响百合花色的主要色素成分。研究表明,花青苷和类胡萝卜素成分在花被片不同区域的差异积累是双色百合形成的主要原因。     

Targeting P2 receptors in purinergic signaling: a new strategy of active ingredients in traditional Chinese herbals for diseases treatment

Adenosine triphosphate (ATP) and its metabolites adenosine diphosphate, adenosine monophosphate, and adenosine in purinergic signaling pathway play important roles in many diseases. Activation of P2 receptors (P2R) channels and subsequent membrane depolarization can induce accumulation of extracellular ATP, and furtherly cause kinds of diseases, such as pain- and immune-related diseases, cardiac dysfunction, and tumorigenesis. Active ingredients of traditional Chinese herbals which exhibit superior pharmacological activities on diversified P2R channels have been considered as an alternative strategy of disease treatment. Experimental evidence of potential ingredients in Chinese herbs targeting P2R and their pharmacological activities were outlined in the study.
