龙胆属的系统发育分析

本文运用支序分类的原理和方法,对龙胆科龙胆属的属下等级进行了重新归类和系统发育分析。龙胆属是一个单系群,以3项近裔共性为归类依据。性状分析作了性状同源性分析和性状极性分析。性状极化主要以外类群比较、性状相关性及染色体资料为依据,其它方法,如生物重演律原则、地理递进原则以及孢粉形态等也被结合使用。分析结果,双蝴蝶属和蔓龙胆属被选择为外类群,71个性状被选择作为建立数据矩阵的基本资料。使用PAUP程序对矩阵进行了运算,得到4个最简约的谱系分支图,它们均具一致性系数0.637,支序长度为160步,f-比值范围为0.179～0.189,其中具最低f-比值的图被选作为类群归类和讨论亲缘关系的基础。在支序图上龙胆属归为15个组;其中5个组又划分为系,共包括23个系,其余组为单型组,故共有33个属下类群。一个严格的一致性谱系分支图总结了所有的一致点,从而支持了支序分析的结果。     

乌奴龙胆中五个新的环烯醚萜甙

秦艽体细胞胚不同发育阶段几种同工酶的特性

以秦艽（ＧｅｎｔｉａｎａｃｒａｓｓｉｃａｕｌｉｓＤｕｔｈｉｅｅｘＢｕｒｋｉｌｌ）无菌苗幼嫩茎叶为外植体,在ＭＳ培养基上诱导出胚性愈伤组织及体细胞胚。本文比较了秦荒体细胞胚发育过程中几种酶的活性及同工酶变化。过氧化物酶与细胞色素氧化酶均在球形胚阶段出现一活性高峰;酯酶同工酶在体细胞胚发育过程中伴有特征带Ｅ＿２、Ｅ＿６的出现;酸性磷酸酯酶的活性与体细胞胚发育程度呈正相关。所以认为只要综合运用这几种同工酶的实验数据,就可以灵敏检测体细胞胚的发育进程。     

滇龙胆GrHDR基因的克隆与表达分析

龙胆苦苷(gentiopicroside)是中药龙胆中的主要药效成分,属于萜类化合物的衍生物。1-羟基-2-甲基-2-(E)-丁烯基-4-二磷酸还原酶[1-hydroxy-2-methyl-2-(E)-butenyl-4-diphosphate reductase,HDR]是萜类物质合成途径中的关键酶。为探讨不同光照条件下滇龙胆HDR(GrHDR)基因的表达与龙胆苦苷含量之间的关系,该文以滇龙胆叶片cDNA为模板,采用PCR和TA克隆技术获得GrHDR基因序列,对该序列进行生物信息学分析和表达分析,并采用高效液相色谱法测定龙胆苦苷含量,对该基因表达与龙胆苦苷含量进行比较。结果表明:(1)GrHDR基因(GenBank登录号: KJ917165.1)全长1 398 bp,编码465个氨基酸,推定GrHDR蛋白是亲水且稳定的,相对分子质量是52 281.25 Da,理论等电点是5.32;(2)该蛋白属于LYTB蛋白家族,可能定位于叶绿体上,无信号肽,二级结构主要由α-螺旋(45.16%)、β-转角(6.24%)、无规卷曲(33.98%)、延伸链(14.62%)构成;(3)GrHDR蛋白序列与同属植物秦艽的HDR蛋白相似性最高(95.71%);(4)实时荧光定量PCR结果显示GrHDR基因在滇龙胆中的表达量为根 > 叶 > 茎,而在10%、30%、100%全光光照条件下各组织的表达量有很大差异;(5)高效液相色谱法结果显示,不同光照条件下龙胆苦苷含量一致,均为根 > 叶 > 茎,其中100%全光光照下,药用部位根中龙胆苦苷含量达到7.141%,约是30%、10%全光光照条件的两倍,但该结果与同一光照条件下GrHDR基因表达规律不完全一致。该研究为阐述HDR基因功能及其与龙胆苦苷含量的关系提供参考。     

Chemical and Morphological Inter‐ and Intrapopulation Variability in Natural Populations of Gentiana pneumonanthe L.

Inter‐ and intrapopulation variability in six natural populations of the rare species Gentiana pneumonanthe was examined based on morphological and chemical data. Population size and linear morphometric parameters differed significantly among populations, but without a clear connection to habitat conditions, i. e. water supply and light availability. Leaf shape varied from ovate to lanceolate in all populations, and one population was distinctive in having the largest number of leaves of transitional shape. HPLC analyses of six secondary metabolites were performed separately for belowground parts, and aboveground vegetative and reproductive parts of individual plants (6 populations ×7 individuals ×3 plant parts, n=126) in order to examine differences at the population and individual levels. Three secoiridoids (swertiamarin (SWM), sweroside (SWZ), and gentiopicrin (GP)), one xanthone (mangiferin (MGF)), and two flavones (isoorientin (IO) and isovitexin (IV)) were detected and quantified in the analyzed samples: sweroside dominated in the aboveground reproductive part, mangiferin in the aboveground vegetative part, and gentiopicrin in the belowground part. At the population level, differences in contents of the analyzed chemicals among populations were significant only for a few metabolites. At the individual level, a pronounced organ‐dependent distribution of secondary metabolites was revealed. The results of this study contribute to a better understanding of natural variability within populations of the rare and threatened G. pneumonanthe, and provide data on the contents and within‐plant distribution of secondary metabolites, which are important as pharmacologically active compounds and may be useful for further biotechnological procedures regarding this species.     

麻花艽和管花秦艽( 龙胆科) 之间自然杂交类型的分子验证

野外考察发现麻花艽( Gentiana straminea Maxim. ) 和管花秦艽( G. siphonantha Maxim . ex Kusn. ) 同域分布时存在大量形态位于二者之间的个体。经形态变异研究后发现它们可能是这两个物种之间的杂交后代。对两个亲本种以及假设杂交群体共55 个个体的核糖体ITS 序列和叶绿体trnS-G 序列的分析结果表明:中间形态个体是麻花艽和管花秦艽的自然杂交后代。此外分析了两个亲本种以及杂交群内个体间trnS-G和ITS 序列的变异状况以及分子标记结果与形态鉴定不一致的可能原因; 指出可能是杂交诱导的叶绿体基因组重组以及早期物种分化中的谱系筛选不彻底等原因造成了亲本种群体内序列变异的多样化。     

云雾龙胆内生菌的分离鉴定及抗菌活性分析

从云雾龙胆(Gentiana nubigena)中分离到一株具有抗菌活性的内生细菌LD5,该菌株的发酵上清液对金黄色葡萄球菌和大肠杆菌的生长有显著的抑制作用。通过形态学、生理生化和16SrDNA系统进化分析,鉴定LD5为解淀粉芽孢杆菌(Bacillus amyloliquefaciens)。菌株LD5能合成黄酮类化合物、龙胆苦苷,以及一种与云雾龙胆醇提取物相似的代谢产物。     

Effect of imitated global warming on Δ<Superscript>13</Superscript>C values in seven plant species growing in tibet alpine meadows

Open-top chambers were used to estimate the possible effects of global warming on δ¹³C of seven plant species grown in alpine meadow ecosystem. The δ¹³C values of plant species were lower after long-term growth in open-top chambers. In the course of experiment, temperature significantly increased inside the chambers by 4°C. Plant species grown at a lower elevation above sea level had higher δ¹³C values as compared to those grown at a higher elevation. This was in accordance with the effect of open-top chamber on δ¹³C values in plants. Greater availability of CO₂ and lower water vapor pressure at higher temperature inside the chambers, as indicated by an increase in discrimination against ¹³CO₂, probably result in more negative δ¹³C values of plants because higher stomatal conductance increases availability of CO₂ and causes greater discrimination against ¹³CO₂. The plant species studied could be the indicator species for testing global warming by the change in carbon isotope ratios at the two growth temperatures.

滇龙胆与青叶胆环烯醚萜类物质计量特征分析?

龙胆科龙胆属滇龙胆( Gentiana rigescens)与獐牙菜属青叶胆( Swertia mileensis)为我国特有种。采用高效液相色谱法测定其中马钱苷酸、獐牙菜苦苷、龙胆苦苷和当药苷含量,结合多变量分析研究环烯醚萜类成分含量及其构成比例在龙胆科植物种内和种间的差异。研究结果显示,4种环烯醚萜类成分的计量特征呈现种间差异,依据环烯醚萜类成分含量及其构成比例,所有滇龙胆样品可分为4类。马钱苷酸含量与纬度呈极显著负相关( R＝－0?348, P<0?05),与海拔呈极显著正相关( R＝0?307, P<0?01);獐牙菜苦苷含量与经度呈极显著负相关( R＝－0?592, P<0?01),高海拔有利于植株中当药苷构成比例的增加( R＝0?245, P<0?05);地理因子对植株中龙胆苦苷含量变化影响不显著( P>0?05)。
