Flavonoids of the Hydrangeaceae Dumortier

Fourteen species representing nine genera of the Hydrangeaceae Dumortier were surveyed for their flavonoid pigments. All taxa exhibited profiles based upon common flavonols. Myricetin was seen in two genera: Jamesia and Decumaria. Jamesia was further distinguished by the absence of kaempferol or its glycosides. A complex array of 3-O-mono-, 3-O-di- and 3-O-triglycosides was observed, although not all species had all levels of glycosylation. Decumaria barbara was unique within the species studied in its possession of 3,7-di- and 3,7-triglycosides. The overall pattern of flavonol glycosides observed for the Hydrangeaceae closely resembles that found in herbaceous genera of Saxifragaceae. The comparatively low frequency of myricetin contrasts with its high occurrence in herbaceous genera.     

New Taxa of Saxifragaceae and Rosaceae from the Hengduan Mountains

In the present paper, we new species and two new varieties of Saxifragaceae and Rosaceae are described from the Hengduan Mountains. They are Philadelphus lushui-ensis Ku et S. M. Hwang, Parnassia lanceolata Ku var. oblongipetala Ku, P. nubicola Wall.ex Royle var. nana Ku and Malus muliensis Ku.     

土壤镉污染对四种阔叶树苗木叶绿素荧光特性和生长的影响

采用盆栽方法研究了土壤镉污染对白牛槭、刺玫果、金银忍冬和东北山梅花叶绿素荧光参数及生物量的影响.设置0、50、100和200 mg·kg^-1风干土4种镉浓度处理,测定苗木在不同镉浓度土壤中生长70 d后的叶绿素荧光参数.结果表明,随着镉处理浓度的提高,4种树种的F_v/F_m、ΦPSⅡ和qP均逐渐降低,qN则逐渐上升.4种苗木在一个生长季中的生物量累积随着镉浓度的增大逐渐降低.树种间荧光参数和生物量的变化幅度不同,白牛槭的变幅最大.刺玫果最小;以叶绿素荧光参数和生物量评价4树种抗镉污染能力,刺玫果最强、白牛槭最弱.

Changes in Pollen Autofluorescence Induced by Ozone

The changes in the autofluorescence spectra of intact Philadelphus grandiflorus, Epiphyllum hybridum, and Plantago major pollen have been observed with microspectrofluorometric method after 100-h exposure to ozone (3 h per day for 5 d per week in total dose 5.0 cm³ m^-3). The fluorescence maximum at 530 - 550 nm disappeared in carotenoid-containing pollen of Philadelphus grandiflorus and Epiphyllum hybridum and new maximum at 475 - 480 nm arose that correlated with lipofuscin-like substances observed in the extracts from the pollen grains. The carotenoid-less pollen of Plantago major showed only the increase of the maximum at 470 nm, and no lipofuscin in the extracts. It is supposed that main indicator of the pollen damage by ozone in carotenoid-containing microspores are the lipofuscin-like compounds. This revised version was published online in July 2006 with corrections to the Cover Date.     

伊犁鲈微卫星位点的筛选及近缘物种通用性

为开发伊犁鲈(Perca schrenkii)分子标记用于鲈属鱼类种质资源保护,以伊犁鲈为材料,应用磁珠富集法进行了微卫星标记的筛选.从伊犁鲈尾鳍提取总DNA,进行酶切、接头连接、PCR扩增,再采用生物素标记(CA)15探针及生物素标记(TG)15探针对扩增产物进行杂交富集,经再次PCR扩增及T-A克隆,成功构建了伊犁鲈基因组微卫星富集文库.采用重复序列引物筛选获得阳性克隆,随机选取48个阳性克隆进行测序,测得序列46个,其中38个克隆含有微卫星序列,41个位点的微卫星重复数在8次以上.根据测得序列设计17对微卫星引物,均能在伊犁鲈群体中扩增获得目的条带.采用该17对引物对河鲈(P.fluviatilis)及黄金鲈(P.flavescens)群体样本进行扩增,10对引物具有通用性,其中6对在河鲈中具有高度多态性(PIC>0.5),5对在黄金鲈中具有高度多态性.
