蓝猪耳卵细胞和合子的分离

蓝猪耳(Torenia fournieri)胚囊部分裸露出胚珠,在光学显微镜下能清楚观察到卵细胞和助细胞的形态结构.用解剖和酶解-解剖两种方法都能分离出生活卵细胞.用前种方法机械分离出的卵细胞数量较少(5%),但避免了酶对配子识别研究的干扰.在后种方法中加入0.1%纤维素酶和0.1%果胶酶既能使分离更加容易操作,又对卵细胞没有致命伤害,能在短时间内分离出较多的卵细胞(18%).用酶解-解剖方法也可分离出授粉14 h后的合子细胞.

短柄五加开花后雌蕊的发育状态与受精作用的研究

短柄五加（ＥｌｅｕｔｈｅｒｏｃｏｃｕｓｂｒａｃｈｙｐｕｓＨａｒｍｓ．）开花当天,花药散粉,而雌配子体需经４～５ｄ才发育成熟。证实短柄五加为雄蕊先熟植物。开花第５天,成熟胚囊的比率为５７６９％,其余为退化和不育胚囊。开花第６天,胚囊开始受精。开花第１０天,受精胚囊占胚囊总数的５３５７％。柱头的可授期自开花后第４～５天开始,自花粉萌发至雌雄性核融合大约有２～３ｄ的间隔期。短柄五加受精过程与一般被子植物相同,其受精作用属于有丝分裂前配子融合类型。观察并统计了合子中雌性核仁的数目、存在状态,指出短柄五加合子中从雄性核仁出现到与雌雄性核仁融合为一个大核仁需经历３ｄ左右;如果以胚乳游离核数目为对照,大部分合子中雌雄性核仁的融合发生在３２～１２８个胚乳游离核时期。大多数合子是以雌雄性核仁融合为一个大核仁后进入合子分裂期;少数合子的雌雄性核仁不经融合也进入合子分裂期。观察到多精入胚囊、多精入卵以及成熟胚囊退化的现象。讨论了被子植物受精过程中有关受精终结的标志等问题。     

观察植物胚胎发育的简便方法

观察植物胚胎发育过程通常采用切片法、胚珠水解压片法、整体解剖法、酶分离法和整体透明等几种方法,其中切片法制作过程复杂;用胚珠水解压片法时,胚珠的其它细胞会覆盖在胚囊上难以观察;整体解剖法的操作要求精细难度较大;酶分离法不能保证所需要的胚珠或子房通过酶解得到其中的胚囊;相比之下整体透明是比较好的方法,但在相差和一般干涉显微镜下只能观察早期的胚囊,如用染色处理,由于子房和胚珠大小不均一,染色时间难以掌握,而且胚囊以外的组织也会着色,影响胚囊内部结构的清晰度,在此我们介绍一种用整体透明直接在微分干涉差显微镜下观察

武汉东湖沉积物和沉积物间隙水中氮和磷的含量及其分布

武汉东湖的沉积物中氮(N)的平均含量上层(0—10厘米)为14．2毫克／克(干重,下同),下层(10-40厘米)为12．0毫克／克。磷(P)的平均含量上层为0．87毫克／克,下层为0.62毫克／克。沉积物中氮和磷的含量均有明显的垂直和平面分布上的差异,上层高于下层,水果湖区高于其它湖区。沉积物间隙水中总溶解氮的浓度高,平均为儿．52毫克／升,主要以氨氮的形态存在,占总溶解氮的61．3％。总溶解磷的浓度较低,平均为0．113毫克／升,其中正磷酸盐占55.8％。间隙水中氮和磷的浓度均有明显的季节变动,夏季和秋季的浓度高,冬季和春季浓度低。除氨氮外,间隙水中氮和磷的浓度比底层湖水中氮和磷的浓度高,但一般不超过5倍,表明沉积物和湖水之间溶解的营养物质交换十分强烈。     

TURNOVER OF PHOSPHATIDYLCHOLINE IN MICROSOMES AND MYELIN IN BRAINS OF YOUNG AND ADULT RATS

We have tested the hypothesis that the turnover of phosphatidylcholine in subcellular fractions of rat brain is a function of the age at which this lipid is deposited. Rats, 60 days of age, were injected intracranially with [2-³H]glycerol and either [methyl-¹⁴C]choline (to label the base moiety) or [U-¹⁴C]glucose (to label acyl moieties). Littermates were killed up to 90 days after injection and brain microsomes and myelin isolated. Lipids were extracted and the phosphatidylcholine was isolated by 2-dimensional TLC and hydrolyzed to its constituent moieties. The ³H in the glycerol backbone and ¹⁴C in the choline or acyl residues was quantitated. The microsomal and myelin ³H/¹⁴C ratios decreased with time with either set of precursors, indicating that labeled choline and acyl moieties were reutilized more efficiently than the glycerol backbone. The various precursors exhibited first order decay curves with half-lives for the glycerol backbone of 6 and 11 days for the microsomal and myelin fractions respectively. These results contrast with those previously obtained with identical experimental procedures when 17-day-old animals were injected. In that study, although much of the phosphatidylcholine turned over rapidly as for the older animals, by 2 weeks after injection most of the remaining phosphatidylcholine was turning over more slowly with a half-life of 13 and 25 days for microsomes and myelin respectively (Miller et al., 1977). The base and acyl moieties also had a corresponding shorter half-life in older animals relative to the slow turnover phase in younger rats.     

VASCULAR SUPPLY AND STRUCTURE OF THE OVULE AND ARIL IN PEONY AND OF THE ARIL IN NUTMEG

Camp , Wendell H., and Mary M. Hubbard . (U. Connecticut, Storrs.) Vascular supply and structure of the ovule and aril in peony and of the aril in nutmeg. Amer. Jour. Bot. 50(2): 174–178. Illus. 1963.—Examination of the placental region in the carpel of Paeonia indicates a complexity and super-abundance of vascular supply beyond that usually found in angiosperms and certainly more than is necessary for adequate nutrition and water supply of the ovules. From this it is concluded that the ovules once were borne on a larger and more complex structure than the present carpel. Vascular strands leading to the aril and the hypostase are interpreted as being relictual. The large multifid aril of Myristica has a well-developed vascular system composed of several sizes of branched bundles.

DEVELOPMENTAL CHANGES IN LEVELS AND FORMS OF CHOLINESTERASES IN MUSCLES OF NORMAL AND DYSTROPHIC CHICKENS

Abstract— Acetylcholinesterase (AChE) and pseudocholinesterase (°ChE) were studied in vivo and during the first several months of development of pectoral and posterior latissimi dorsi (PLD) muscles in normal and dystrophic chickens. Muscle extracts were prepared in a high ionic strength-nonionic detergent medium in the presence of protease inhibitors, in order to obtain complete solubilization and to prevent degradation of intrinsic molecular forms of both enzymes. In both normal and dystrophic pectoral muscles levels of AChE and °ChE increase rapidly in vivo, °ChE accounting for 5–10% of total cholinesterase activity. In the normal pectoral muscle the concentration of both enzymes drops rapidly after hatching with increasing muscle mass; total AChE per muscle remains relatively constant for 30 days post-hatch. In the dystrophic pectoral muscle both AChE and °ChE accumulate after hatching, resulting in greatly elevated levels (approx 10–25-fold) of both enzymes throughout the period studied. Multiple molecular forms of AChE and °ChE are observed in the pectoral muscle by sucrose gradient centrifugation. Four principal forms are distinguished: two light (L₁, L₂), one medium (M), and one heavy (H₂). The °ChE forms are 0.5–1.0 S units lighter than the corresponding AChE forms. L₂ is the predominant light form of AChE, whereas L₁ is the major light °ChE form detected. The lighter forms of AChE predominate in normal and dystrophic embryonic pectoral muscle at day 14, being replaced by the H₂ form by day 19. H₂ is the major °ChE form detected at day 19. After hatching, H₂ AChE is the predominant form found in both of the normal muscles studied. In the dystrophic pectoral muscle, progressive accumulation of the L₂ form of AChE is detected as early as day 4 post-hatch; this form eventually becomes predominant, although the heavier forms are also elevated. In PLD muscle the same phenomenon occurs, but with a slower time course. In dystrophic pectoral muscle a similar rise in the L₁ form of °ChE is first observed by day 4, with heavier forms also elevated in the mature muscle. Thus the alteration in the control of these two enzymes in dystrophic fast-twitch muscles results in an accumulation of the light forms of AChE and °ChE.
