野大豆(Glycine soja)叶绿体的光谱及其激子能量转移

野大豆叶绿体在低温(77K)时出现三条荧光发射谱带,它们来源于不同的色素蛋白复合体。 在纳秒脉冲激光激发下,捕光天线色素的相对荧光量子产额,随激光强度的增加有明显下降现象。用激子理论和动力学方程讨论和计算了激子扩散参量。指出激子转移是随机的,非相干的。     

Purification and characterization of RNA polymerase I from a higher plant.

RNA polymerase I was purified from chromatin isolated from auxin-treated soybean hypocotyl. Purification was achieved by using Agarose A-1.5m gel filtration, DEAE-cellulose, CM-sephadex, and phosphocellulose chromatography, and sucrose density gradient centrifugation. With denatured calf thymus DNA as template, the enzyme has a high specific activity (200-300 nmol/mg/30 min at 28 degrees C) which is comparable to other RNA polymerase I enzymes purified from animals and yeast. While the gel profiles indicate that purification to homogeneity (greater than 90%) may not have been achieved, the enzyme appears to be composed of possibly 7 subunits, several of which are similar to the subunits of yeast RNA polymerase I. The putative subunits and molar ratios are 183 000 (1), 136 000 (1), 50 000 (0.5), 46 000 (0.5), 40 000 (0.5), 33 000 (0.2), and 28 000 (2). The purified enzyme strongly prefers a completely denatured template such as poly(dC).     

Interaction between the Effects of Inside and Outside Na and K on Bullfrog Skin Potential

The composition of the solution bathing one border of the isolated frog skin affects the response of the potential across the skin to changes in the composition of the solution bathing the opposite border. Increasing the K concentration of the inside (corium) bathing solution decreased the sensitivity of the potential to a change in outside Na concentration. Decreasing the outside Na concentration decreased the sensitivity of the potential to a change in inside K concentration. Increasing the total ionic strength of the outside bathing solution or of both bathing solutions decreased the sensitivity of the potential to a change in outside Na concentration.     

Hormonal Regulation of Cell Elongation in the Hypocotyl of Rootless Soybean: An Evaluation of the Role of DNA Synthesis

A method was developed where soybean seedlings were grown without roots to study the influence of hormones of root origin on shoot growth. Excision of the root resulted in inhibition of apical section growth and DNA synthesis and inhibited elongating section growth. A synthetic cytokinin restored DNA synthesis in the apical section, but did not influence growth in either the apical or elongating sections. Low concentrations of gibberellin with the cytokinin restored growth in the apical section. Gibberellin alone was sufficient to restore growth in the elongating section.An inhibitor of DNA synthesis, 5-fluorodeoxyuridine, inhibited the increase in apical section DNA without inhibiting control or gibberellin-induced growth in the elongating section. Experiments with (14)C-thymidine resulted in no DNA labeling differences in the elongating section under conditions where gibberellin-induced elongation varied from 50% to 73% above controls. It was concluded that gibberellin-induced elongation in soybean hypocotyl occurred in the absence of DNA synthesis. Gibberellin does stimulate DNA synthesis in the apical tissue apart from its effect on cell elongation.Excised soybean hypocotyl elongated maximally at 10(-6)m auxin. At higher auxin concentrations, fresh weight and ethylene production increased, but elongation was reduced. Addition of GA to the higher auxin concentrations resulted in a 50% inhibition in auxin-induced ethylene production and resumption in maximal elongation. Added ethylene inhibited elongation 30% at 2 mul/l. Addition of up to 100 mul/l ethylene did not inhibit elongation with GA present in the incubation medium. Thus GA may counteract ehtylene inhibition of cell elongation in addition to inhibiting ethylene production in auxin-treated tissues.     

Temperature Dependence of Accommodation and Excitation in Space-Clamped Axons

Accommodation and excitation in space-clamped squid axons were studied with the double sucrose gap technique, using linear current ramps, short (50 µsec) square wave pulses, and rheobasic square wave pulses as stimuli. The temperature was varied from 5° to 35°C. Experimental results showed a Q₁₀ for accommodation which was 44% higher than that for excitation. Yet calculations on the basis of the Hodgkin-Huxley equations predict equal Q₁₀'s for excitation and accommodation. Although the Hodgkin-Huxley equations are spectacularly successful for so many nerve phenomena, the differences between calculations of accommodation and these experiments, which were designed to test the equations, show that the equations need modification in this area.     

牛胰多肽对急性胰腺炎大鼠胰组织中磷脂酶A和胰蛋白酶活性的影响

以0.25％牛磺胆酸钠-0.25％胰蛋白酶溶液注入大鼠胰导管制备急性(出血坏死性)胰腺炎模型。观察剂量为 3μg/kg的牛胰多肽(BPP)对胰腺炎大鼠胰组织磷脂酶 A(PA)活性、钙含量、胰蛋白酶活性以及血清α_1-抗胰蛋白酶抑制力(STIC)的影响。结果如下:1.在伴注BPP的胰腺炎组,PA 活性、钙含量、胰蛋白酶活性及STIC 分别降为胰腺炎组的51％(P<0.001),75％(P<0.001)、20％(P<0.001)以及24％(P<0.001);2.在伴注碳酰胆碱的胰腺炎组,上述四项指标的水平升高。但在伴注碳酰胆碱及BPP 两者的胰腺炎组却分别降至伴注碳酰胆碱的胰腺炎组的39％(P<0.005)、51％(P<0.001)、40％(P<0.001)以及 59％(P<0.001);3.在伴注Ca~(2 )的胰腺炎组,上述四项指标剧升,注射 BPP对其无影响。结果提示,BPP 能降低大鼠胰组织内磷脂酶A 和胰蛋白酶活性及胰内钙沉积量。机制可能与 BPP打断胰酶活化链有关,是否还影响腺泡细胞膜上M受体的功能,有待探讨。
