喜树叶、枝水溶性糖提取的研究

用正交实验结果作方差分析表明：溶剂用量对试验结果有较显著的影响（a=0.10)，提取温度对试验结果也有较大的影响，而提取时间对试验结果的影响不显著。喜树叶中水溶性糖的提取最优方案是A3C2B3，即溶剂用量为60ml，提取温度80℃，提取时间60min；喜树叶水溶性糖的提取最优方案是A2C2B1，即溶剂用量为40ml，提取温度80℃，提取时间20min。通过对喜树叶与枝的成对比较分析，叶与枝的水溶性糖含量无显著差异。     

产喜树碱内生真菌的筛选及鉴定

从喜树Camptotheca acuminate树皮和果实中分离得到27株内生真菌,发酵后经HPLC检测,筛选出一株菌丝产喜树碱的菌,产量达774μg/L。对其ITS序列进行系统发育分析,结合其培养特征和显微特征,鉴定为拟茎点霉属(Phomopsis sp.)。这是首次报道分离自喜树的该属真菌发酵产喜树碱。     

田间栽培喜树不同品系枝叶喜树碱产量动态分析

采用高效液相色谱法和生物量法,以四川种源的普通喜树为对照,对生长季内喜树新品系海喜1号不同冠层枝叶喜树碱产量进行了测定。结果表明：由于海喜1号枝叶喜树碱含量、生物量均高于普通喜树,其产量更加显著地高于普通喜树;虽然海喜1号幼嫩的上层枝叶喜树碱含量高于中层和下层,但由于生物量偏低,产量明显低于中下层枝叶;虽然基于喜树碱含量较高（即优质为目标时）,采收期应确定为6月份,但为了达到持续产量,在6月份可采收上层枝叶,7~10月以适度透光为方法连续采收中下部枝叶,11月份,即生长季末采收冠层下部全部1/3枝叶。     

Digestive α-amylase activity in Aelia acuminata L. (Hemiptera: Pentatomidae)

Activity of α-amylase was revealed in the midgut and salivary glands of the wheat and barley pentatomid pest, A. acuminata. The activity was determined in salivary gland more than those in midgut. Optimal activity of the enzyme occurred at 40°C. Optimal pH activity in salivary gland (pH = 6) was more than those in the midgut (pH = 4.5). pH stability analysis of the enzyme showed that the enzyme is more stable at slightly acidic pHs than those at acidic and alkaline pHs. However, α-amylase is more stable at acidic pH in long period of time. Temperature stability analysis determined the enzyme was remarkably active over a broad range of temperature (5–40°C). α-Amylase activity was decreased after addition of MgCl₂, Tris, Triton X-100, CuSO₄, SDS, urea and CaCl₂. The salts NaCl and KCl increased the enzyme activity from midgut and salivary glands. Zymogram analysis of midgut and salivary gland extract showed at least two bands of amylase activity in the midgut and salivary glands.     

Synthesis of 2-(4-Hydroxyphenyl)naphthalene-1,8-dicarboxylic Anhydride,a Phytoalexin Isolated from Unripe Banana (Musa acuminata)

2-(4-Hydroxyphenyl)naphthalene-1,8-dicarboxylic anhydride, a component of the phytoalexin that has been isolated from the peel of unripe banana (Musa acuminata), was synthesized from 3-bromoacenaphthene.     

Characteristics of the microbial community in rhizosphere of Camptotheca acuminata cultured with exotic invasive plant Eupatorium adenophorum

The traditional culture-dependent plate counting and culture-independent small-subunit-ribosomal RNA gene-targeted molecular techniques, Single-Strand Conformation Polymorphism (SSCP) and ter-minal Restriction Fragment Length Polymorphism (tRFLP) combined with 16S rDNA clone library were adopted to investigate the impacts of secretion from Camptotheca acuminata (abbreviated to Ca) roots on the quantities and structure of eukaryotic microbes and bacteria in the rhizosphere, and the possi-bility that Ca controls exotic invasive plant Eupatorium adenophorum (Ea). The counting results indi-cated that the number of bacteria increased in turn in rhizospheres of Ea, Ca-Ea mixed culture and Ca, while that of eukaryotic microbes decreased. PCR-SSCP profiles showed eukaryotic microbial bands (corresponding to biodiversity) in rhizosphere of Ea were more complex than those of Ca and CE. Meristolohmannia sp., Termitomyces sp. and Rhodophyllus sp. were the dominant populations in the rhizosphere of Ca. Bacterial terminal restriction fragments (TRFs) profiles showed no difference among three kinds of rhizospheres, and the sequences of the 16S rDNA clone library from Ca rhizospheres were distributed in 10 known phyla, in which phylum Proteobacteria were the absolute dominant group and accounted for 24.71% of the cloned sequences (δ-Proteobacteria accounted for up to 17.65%), and phyla Acidobacteria and Bacteroidetes accounted for 16.47% and 10.59% of the cloned sequences, respectively. In addition, high performance liquid chromatography detected a trace amount of camp-tothecin and hydroxycamptothecin in the rhizospheric soil of Ca and CE, but examined neither camp-tothecin nor hydroxycamptothecin in rhizospheric soil of Ea. Therefore, invasion and diffusion of Ea evidently depended on distinguishing the eukaryotic community structure, but not on that of the bac-terial pattern. Ca was able to alter the eukaryotic community structure of invasive Ea by secreting camptothecin and hydroxycamptothecin into rhizospheres, and may benefit the control of overspread of Ea. This study provided theoretical evidence for rhizospheric microbial aspects on substituting Ca for Ea.     

Flavonoid data and populational observations in support of hybrid status for Populus acuminata

Flavonoid distribution and populational composition at the collection sites of several samples of Populus acuminata strongly suggest that this taxon is an inter-sectional hybrid between P. angustifolia, sect. Tacamahaca and any one of two or three different species of the section Aigeiros, when the entire range is considered. In the vicinity of the type locality, the Aigeiros parent is P. sargentii. Within any population, foliage of trees of P. acuminata is characterized by morphological intermediacy and an essentially additive flavonoid profile, as compared to the two parental taxa present. In habit the trees resemble those of P. sargentii, and habitats at the collection sites were found to be somewhat intermediate. Fifteen flavonoid compounds were consistently present in samples of the putative hybrid. Twelve of these had diagnostic value because they were absent in one of the parental species. One compound, apigenin 7-O-diglucoside, was found only in P. acuminata. In part, our identifications correspond to compounds reported by Crawford in a morphological and chemical study of P. acuminiata.

水杨酸提高香蕉幼苗的抗冷性与H2O2代谢有关

探讨了水杨酸(salicylic acid, SA)提高香蕉幼苗抗冷性的可能机理.在常温下(30/22 ℃)用不同浓度(0～3.5 mmol/L)的SA水溶液喷洒叶片1 d,置于7 ℃低温下冷胁迫3 d,随后于常温下恢复2 d后测定电解质泄漏率,结果表明:SA 0.3～0.9 mmol/L能显著提高香蕉幼苗的抗冷性,以0.5 mmol/L效果最佳.若把冷胁迫温度降到5 ℃,SA 0.5 mmol/L 预处理可显著减少幼苗叶片的萎蔫面积.但当SA浓度高于1.5 mmol/L时,恢复期间的电解质泄漏甚至高于对照(蒸馏水处理),表明它们加剧了冷害.SA提高香蕉幼苗的抗冷性可能需要H2O2的参与:1)SA 0.5 mmol/L常温处理诱导了H2O2的积累和活性氧造成的膜脂过氧化--三氯乙酸反应物质(TBARS)的增加,这可能与H2O2的清除酶--过氧化氢酶(CAT)和抗坏血酸过氧化物酶(APX)活性的受抑和H2O2的产生酶-超氧化物歧化酶(SOD)活性几乎不受影响有关;2)外源H2O2(1.5～2.5 mmol/L)也能显著降低低温胁迫期间的电解质泄漏,表明也能提高抗冷性;3)而用H2O2的捕捉剂--二甲基硫脲(DMTU)可明显抑制SA诱导的抗冷性;4)在低温胁迫与恢复期间,SA预处理明显提高了CAT和APX的活性,抑制了H2O2与TBARS的快速上升.
