The evolution of Nyctereutes (Carnivora: Canidae) in the Nihewan Basin,Hebei, northern China

The occurrence of Nyctereutes during the Plio-Pleistocene has long been reported in northern China, with the highest abundance in the Nihewan Basin. However, due to site dispersal, the coexistence of different taxa, and lack of a precise stratigraphic constraint, the evolutionary process of this genus remains enigmatic. In this study, we re-examined the available Nyctereutes materials recovered from the Nihewan Basin housed in IVPP and Tianjin Natural History Museum, in addition to a newly recovered specimen from our latest excavation. Furthermore, we compared these materials with Nyctereutes fossils recovered from the Pleistocene Zhoukoudian sites near Beijing and the extant species N. procyonoides. Our analysis of the upper molar morphometry reveals the variations in size and dietary characteristics within different species of Nyctereutes during the late Plio-Pleistocene. The examination of molars indicates an increase in the size of Nyctereutes sinensis compared to early Pliocene N. tingi as well as changes in the molar teeth morphology. Subsequently, changes in diet or environmental factors possibly caused the decrease of body size in the late Pleistocene. We also estimate an age constraint for the fossils of N. sinensis from the Xiashagou section by relocating Licent's localities and referring of updated magnetostratigraphic data.

甲基苄基亚硝胺对与人、大鼠和鸡肝脏或食管上皮细胞混合培养的V_(79)细胞的致突变作用

用人,雄性Wistar大鼠和雄性莱亨鸡的肝细胞,或食管上皮细胞与V_(79)细胞混合培养,观察甲基苄基亚硝胺(MBN)经肝细胞或食管上皮细胞代谢后,能否产生活性代谢产物,从而诱导V_(79)细胞突变及其它有关的生物学反应。研究结果初步表明,大鼠和鸡肝细胞可以明显代谢MBN产生活性代谢产物,诱导混合培养的V_(79)细胞SCE和微核增高以及6-TG抗性突变。人胎儿肝细胞也可以代谢这种亚硝胺并诱导V_(79)细胞6-TG抗性突变,但对SCE和微核诱导明显偏低。说明这三种肝细胞代谢MBN在性质上是比较近似,可能在代谢激活程度上有一定差异。在食管上皮细胞和V_(79)细胞混合培养的实验中,大鼠食管上皮可以明显代谢MBN诱导V_(79)细胞SCE和微核的增高及6-TG抗性突变。鸡食管上皮细胞未见有明显的代谢MBN引起V_(79)细胞突变的作用。26只雄性莱亨鸡喂以MBN实验最长者达975天,总剂量为1674毫克,结果未见一例鸡发生食管癌。结果表明鸡的食管上皮可能对某些挥发性亚硝胺的致癌作用是不敏感的,目前没有证据支持在林县高发区中所发现的鸡咽食管癌是由于已找到的挥发性亚硝胺引起的。人食管上皮细胞具有一定的代谢MBN产生有致突变作用的代谢产物的能力,然而人与人之间有明显的个体差异。和大鼠相比,人食管代谢MBN诱导V_(79)细胞突变的能力明显较低,有关亚硝胺在高发区人食管癌发生中的作用还有待进一步深入研究。     

The Effects of Temperature on Blepharisma intermedium

SYNOPSIS. An initial rise in temperature increases the reproductive rate in Blepharisma intermedium; after it reaches the maximum, it gradually declines and finally fission is blocked. Cytochemical investigations made on Blepharisma acclimated to 28 C—the temperature at which the reproductive rate is maximum—show that conditions are optimum for cell division. Requisite quantities of glycogen, basic proteins, unsaturated lipids, enzymes alkaline and acid phosphatases are present. At 38 C the cell metabolism is altered, there is a decrease in the quantity of glycogen reserves, proteins and lipids, the enzyme activity diminishes, the free amino acid pattern changes and cell division is blocked. However, this block is transitory. Upon return to room temperature and when fresh culture medium is added, after a lag of 3 days, the cell metabolism becomes normal and the ciliates resume fission.     

钾营养对水稻光合器功能的效应与谷粒产量的影响

水稻广陆矮四号和威优35盆栽试验的结果表明,施钾使叶绿体内基粒增多,Hill反应及光合磷酸化活力增强。分蘖末期在叶绿体反应液中添加KCl也可提高非环式光合磷酸化活力。适量施钾降低量子需要量可能与上述效应有关。钾使叶片超微结构改善:乳突大而多;硅化程度明显增加,故叶片更直立。叶水势及净光合率提高,两者呈直线正相关。灌桨期剑叶净光合率与谷粒产量呈直线正相关。     

德巴利汉逊酵母的两个变种及其相关种的脉冲电泳核型比较分析

摘要:用CHEF(钳位均匀电场)脉冲电泳系统分析了德巴利汉逊酵母的两个变种及两个相关种的脉冲电泳核型。对每个分类群的染色体条数,染色体DNA的分子量大小范围及整个基因组大小作出了估算,结果如下:Debaryomyces hansenii(Zopf) Lodder et Kreger-van Rij var. hansenii具有6-7条染色体,分子量范围为1.2-2.6(个别3.5)Mb,整个基因组大小为I 0.6-14.9Mb;D. hansenii var. fabryi (Ota) Nakase et Suzuki具有7条染色体,分子量范围为0.7-2.4M b,整个基因组大小为12.0-12.7Mb;D. nepalensis Goto et Sugiyama具有6-8条染色体,分子量范围为(个别0.2)1.1-2.7Mb,整个基因组大小为10.6-11.0Mb;Candida saitoana Nakase et Suzuki具有10-11条染色体,分子量范围为0.6-3.6Mb,整个基因组大小为18.1-18.9Mb.本研究表明C. saitoana与上述德巴利酵母属的三个分类群在脉冲电泳核型上具有明显差异,而后三者之间在染色体DNA带型上却没有发现有价值的区别之处.

外源GUS基因在PEG介导的花椰菜原生质体中的瞬间表达

为了将外源基因导入花椰菜原生质体获得转基因植株,本文研究了ＰＥＧ介导的外源基因在花椰菜下胚轴原生质体中的瞬间表达。（１）２０％ＰＥＧ将质粒ｐＢＩ２２１导入原生质体后ＧＵＳ表达比１３％ＰＥＧ导入的高,但易造成原生质体损伤。（２）热激处理增强表达,但在随后的培养过程中易造成原生质体降解。（３）原生质体状况对表达有重要影响,５ｄ龄下胚轴原生质体比８ｄ龄的表达强。（４）不同质粒及启动子表达强度不同。质粒ｐＫＩＷＩ１０１比ｐＢＩ２２１表达强３倍左右。
