景观生态学中的格局分析：现状、困境与未来

作为景观格局分析的重要手段,景观格局指数的提出与发展极大地推动了景观生态学的发展,但是由于众多景观格局指数在指示生态学过程方面的不足,近年来景观格局分析已经走入困境。在总结近年来国内外相关研究的基础上,对景观格局分析的现状、困境及未来发展方向进行了综述。景观格局分析仍然是景观生态学的重要方面,景观格局指数仍然是景观格局分析的主要手段。但是如何建立具有生态学意义的景观格局指数和分析方法,如何将景观格局与生态过程联系起来,以及如何将＂基质—斑块—廊道＂的景观生态学理论应用到实际中是目前景观格局分析面临的主要困境。基于对景观格局分析现状及困境的认识,提出了景观格局分析未来的5个发展方向：（1）景观格局分析应该从目前的静态格局描述发展到对动态格局的刻画,只有找到刻画动态格局的方法,才能将格局和过程有机地联系在一起;（2）通过对多种景观格局指数的联合应用,发掘景观格局指数集合体对生态过程的解释能力;（3）发展基于生态过程的景观格局指数和分析方法;（4）通过多维景观格局分析,定量研究景观格局演变与生态过程之间的关系;（5）多尺度景观格局分析,将为解决格局与过程的关系提出有效手段。  

A protein kinase, interacting with two calcineurin B-like proteins, regulates K+ transporter AKT1 in Arabidopsis

Potassium is an essential mineral element for plant growth and development. Although it is known that plants absorb and transport K+ through membrane transporters, it remains unclear how these transporters are regulated. Here we show that the protein kinase CIPK23, encoded by the LKS1 gene, regulates K+ uptake under low-K+ conditions. Lesion of LKS1 significantly reduced K+ uptake and caused leaf chlorosis and growth inhibition, whereas overexpression of LKS1 significantly enhanced K+ uptake and tolerance to low K+. We demonstrate that CIPK23 directly phosphorylates the K+ transporter AKT1 and further find that CIPK23 is activated by the binding of two calcineurin B-like proteins, CBL1 and CBL9. We propose a model in which the CBL1/9-CIPK23 pathway ensures activation of AKT1 and enhanced K+ uptake under low-K+ conditions.  

中国急性弛缓性麻痹(AFP)病例中脊髓灰质炎病毒疫苗株VP1区基因变异的研究

为研究中国急性弛缓性麻痹(AFP)病例中脊髓灰质炎(简称脊灰)病毒分离株的分子特征,为中国继续维持"无脊灰野毒状态"提供理论依据,对2002年所有省级疾病预防控制中心送检的脊灰分离株,用PCR-RFLP法及ELISA法进行型内鉴定.用PCR-RFLP法筛查出与疫苗株相比有异常酶切图谱的毒株共24株,其中Ⅰ型毒株1株,Ⅱ型毒株21株,Ⅲ型毒株2株;用ELISA法筛查出与疫苗株相比有不同的抗原抗体反应的毒株共22株,其中Ⅰ型毒株7株,Ⅱ型毒株4株,Ⅲ型毒株11株,在7株Ⅰ型毒株中有3株为非疫苗类似株(NSL),其余为双反应毒株(DRV).随后对这46株毒株进行了全VP1区的基因序列分析.结果表明:2002年脊灰分离株都是疫苗株或疫苗衍生株,没有发现野毒株,中国继续保持着"无脊灰野毒状态";口服减毒活疫苗(OPV)株与其它野毒株在稳定性性质方面是类似的,即通常是不稳定的,在人体肠道内有很强的选择性;在人体肠道内,病毒复制产生的基因变异导致毒力升高,是引起疫苗相关麻痹病例(VAPP)的重要原因,但宿主本身的因素也有很大的作用;在局部地区有疫苗株的循环或脊灰疫苗衍生株(VDPV)的存在;最终消除疫苗株引起的AFP病例可能还需要脊灰灭活疫苗(IPV)的介入.

苗期水稻根部性状的QTL定位

耐旱是水稻抗逆研究中最重要的性状之一。利用水稻籼粳品种窄叶青8号（ZYQ8）和京系17（JX17）及其通过杂交F1代花药培养获得的127个单株组成的双单倍体分离群体（double haploid,DH)为材料，在营养液中培养10天后，对影响抗旱能力的根部几个主要性状进行了分析，发现最大根长（Maximum root Length,MRL)、根干重（Dry Root Weight,DRW)和根茎干重比（Root/Shoot Ratio of Dry Weight,RSR)3个性状在群体中变异较大，利用该群体建立的水稻分子遗传图谱，对上述3个水稻性状进行数量性状座位（Quantitative Trait Locus,QTL)的分析定位，结果表明，2／1／2个QTLs的亲本JX17等位基因分别控制着最大根长、根干重和茎士重比的表达，对表型变异的解释率分别为16．4％、17．0％、16．4％、10．4％和19．9％；2／1个QTLs的亲本ZYQ8等位基因分别控制着最大根长和根茎干重比的增加，表表型变异的解释率分别为19．6％、13．0％和13．2％。检测到的8个QTLs分别位地水稻的染色体2、3、4、5、6、9和10上。与其他已发表的定位结果比较表现，在3个性状的总共8个QTLs中，各有1个性状的1个QTL（控制最大根长的L169－CT106A，控制根干重的G45－G1314A和控制根茎干重比的G62－G144）与早先报道的结果相吻合。  

A model for studying the effect of shear stress on interactions between vascular endothelial cells and smooth muscle cells

Vascular endothelial cells (ECs) are constantly subjected to blood flow-induced shear stress and the influences of neighboring smooth muscle cells (SMCs). In the present study, a coculture flow system was developed to study the effect of shear stress on EC-SMC interactions. ECs and SMCs were separated by a porous membrane with only the EC side subjected to the flow condition. When ECs were exposed to a shear stress of 12 dynes/cm2 for 24 h, the cocultured SMCs tended to orient perpendicularly to the flow direction. This perpendicular orientation of the cocultured SMCs to flow direction was not observed when ECs were exposed to a shear stress of 2 dynes/cm2. Under the static condition, long and parallel actin bundles were observed in the central regions of the cocultured SMCs, whereas the actin filaments localized mainly at the periphery of the cocultured ECs. After 24 h of flow application, the cocultured ECs displayed very long, well-organized, parallel actin stress fibers aligned with the flow direction in the central regions of the cells. Immunostaining of platelet endothelial cell adhesion molecule-1 confirmed the elongation and alignment of the cocultured ECs with the flow direction. Coculture with SMCs under static condition induced EC gene expressions of growth-related oncogene-alpha and monocyte chemotactic protein-1, and shear stress was found to abolish these SMC-induced gene expressions. Our results suggest that shear stress may serve as a down-regulator for the pathophysiologically relevant gene expression in ECs cocultured with SMCs.
