机械刺激诱导的烟草悬浮细胞一氧化氮产生途径及其与C矿和钙调素的关系

通过提高摇床转速对烟草细胞施加机械刺激（Ms）可诱导其胞内一氧化氮（No）的快速产生和一氧化氮合酶（Nos）活性的提高,这种MS诱导的NO产生可被N0清除剂cPTIO和NOS抑制剂L-NMMA显著抑制。此外,Ca2＋螯合剂EGTA、质膜Ca＋通道阻断剂La3＋、胞内Ca2＋通道拮抗剂钌红,以及钙调素抑制剂CPZ和TFP预处理均不同程度地抑制了机械刺激诱导的烟草细胞NO的产生,而机械刺激过程中钙调素活性显著上升并与NOS活性和NO含量的变化相一致。这些结果暗示着（类）Nos酶催化的精氨酸依赖途径可能是机械刺激诱发烟草细胞NO产生的主要途径,Ca2＋／CAM可能通过调节（类）NOS活性来调控No的产生。     

外源NO对缺镁胁迫下玉米幼苗生长和离子平衡的影响

研究了在缺镁胁迫下,外源NO对缺镁玉米幼苗生长、根系活力和离子含量的影响。结果表明,缺镁胁迫使玉米幼苗株高、根长和干鲜重下降,根系活力降低,N元素在地上部和根部分配失调,新叶和老叶中Mg2＋、Cu2＋、Fe3＋、Mn2＋等离子含量下降,Ca2＋、K＋、Zn2＋等离子含量上升。根中Mg2＋离子含量下降,Ca2＋、K＋、Zn2＋、Cu2＋、Fe3＋、Mn2＋等离子含量上升。用100μmol·L-1一氧化氮供体硝普钠（SNP）处理后,玉米幼苗株高、根长、干重和鲜重均提高,根系活力增强,改善了N代谢,新叶中Ca2＋、K＋和Zn2＋等离子含量下降,Mg2＋、Cu2＋、Fe3＋和Mn2＋等离子含量提高,老叶中Mg2＋、Ca2＋、K＋和Zn2＋等离子含量下降,Cu2＋、Fe3＋和Mn2＋等离子含量提高,根中Mg2＋、Ca2＋、K＋、Cu2＋、Zn2＋、Fe3＋和Mn2＋离子含量均下降。实验结果表明,NO保护玉米幼苗免受缺镁胁迫的影响。     

等渗Ca(NO3)2和NaCl胁迫对黄瓜幼苗生长及渗透调节物质含量的影响

采用营养液培养方法,以耐盐性较弱的‘津春2号’黄瓜品种为试材,研究了等渗Ca(NO3)2和NaCl胁迫对黄瓜幼苗生长、根系电解质渗透率、根系活力、Na+和K+含量及渗透调节物质含量的影响。结果显示:(1)在84mmol.L-1 NaCl和56mmol.L-1 Ca(NO3)2等渗胁迫下,黄瓜幼苗鲜重和干重均显著下降,且NaCl处理下降的幅度大于等渗Ca(NO3)2处理。(2)NaCl主要通过对黄瓜根系的伤害来抑制植株生长,表现为根系活力下降、根系质膜透性增大、Na+大量积累、K+含量显著下降、Na+/K+明显上升,最终导致根冠比下降;而Ca(NO3)2处理对根系质膜透性、K+含量、Na+/K+的影响均小于NaCl胁迫,且根系活力和根冠比上升,但Ca(NO3)2胁迫后叶片含水量和渗透调节能力均小于NaCl胁迫。(3)NaCl胁迫条件下,黄瓜幼苗内渗透调节物质以可溶性糖为主,而Ca(NO3)2胁迫以可溶性蛋白为主。研究表明,NaCl胁迫对黄瓜幼苗的伤害大于等渗Ca(NO3)2,NaCl主要通过破坏根系质膜结构影响植株生长,而Ca(NO3)2主要通过引起地上部生理干旱来影响植株生长。     

外源亚精胺对硝酸钙胁迫下小白菜生长与光合作用及其品质的影响

以小白菜品种‘寒笑’为实验材料,采用营养液栽培法,研究了80 mmol/L硝酸钙胁迫下,叶面喷施0.5mmol/L亚精胺(Spd)对小白菜生长、光合作用及其品质的影响。结果表明,(1)Ca(NO3)2胁迫显著抑制了小白菜幼苗生长,使植株的株高、根长、叶面积、根体积、干鲜重显著降低,而叶面喷施Spd可有效缓解胁迫对生长的抑制。(2)Ca(NO3)2胁迫处理植株叶绿素含量比正常营养液培养处理(对照)显著下降了54.72%,而叶面喷施Spd可以有效缓解Ca(NO3)2胁迫对光合色素含量的抑制,并且使植株类胡萝卜素含量比Ca(NO3)2胁迫处理显著提高53.33%。(3)Ca(NO3)2胁迫显著降低了小白菜幼苗光合作用效率,使植株净光合速率(Pn)比对照显著下降34.45%,而叶面喷施Spd可以有效缓解Ca(NO3)2胁迫对Pn的抑制,使植株Pn比Ca(NO3)2胁迫处理显著提高28.11%。(4)Ca(NO3)2胁迫显著降低了小白菜幼苗品质,其植株维生素C、可溶性糖、可溶性蛋白含量比对照显著降低,同期有机酸、硝酸盐含量却比对照显著升高,而叶面喷施Spd可以显著改善上述小白菜营养指标。研究认为,外源亚精胺可有效缓解Ca(NO3)2胁迫对小白菜生长和光合作用的抑制,提高Ca(NO3)2胁迫环境条件下小白菜的品质。     

等渗盐胁迫对番茄抗氧化酶和ATP酶及焦磷酸酶活性的影响

用Ca(NO3)2 80 mmol/L和NaCl 120 mmol/L等渗溶液处理番茄幼苗后,细胞质和叶绿体中超氧化物歧化酶(SOD)、过氧化氢酶(CAT)、抗坏血酸过氧化物酶(APX)的活性升高,并且NaCl胁迫的作用明显高于Ca(NO3)2胁迫.Ca(NO3)2处理提高了线粒体中SOD、CAT、APX的活性,而NaCl处理降低了它们的活性.根系质膜H -ATPase、液泡膜H -ATPase、焦磷酸酶(H -PPase)的活性和叶片丙二醛(MDA)及脯氨酸含量在两种盐胁迫后明显增加.NaCl处理对植株生长的抑制程度明显高于Ca(NO3)2处理.     

铵态和硝态氮对苹果植株SOD和POD活性的影响（简报）

田间耕作条件下追施铵态氮肥（NH4）2SO4与硝态氮肥Ca（NO3）2,可不同程度地提高苹果植株的超氧化物歧化酶（SOD）和过氧化物酶（POD）活性,NO3－N高于NH4＋-N处理株。随着NO3-N使用量的增加,两种酶活性均相应提高,而POD活性在高铵水平下呈下降趋势。     

不同BR施用方式诱导黄瓜幼苗对Ca(NO_3)_2胁迫抗性的研究

为探讨外源油菜素内酯(brassinosteroid,BR)诱导黄瓜幼苗对Ca(NO3)2胁迫抗性的效果,研究了3种外源BR施用方法(0.01mg·L-1 BR浸种、0.1mg·L-1 BR喷叶及其二者结合施用)对Ca(NO3)2胁迫(60mmol·L-1)下黄瓜幼苗生长、生理活动以及光合作用的影响。结果表明:(1)3种外源BR方法处理后,Ca(NO3)2胁迫下的黄瓜幼苗株高、茎粗、展开叶片数、叶面积、干重含水量均显著提高,同时其叶片游离脯氨酸和可溶性糖含量上升,过氧化物酶活性提高,而其丙二醛(MDA)含量趋于无Ca(NO3)2胁迫对照的水平;(2)外源BR处理还提高了Ca(NO3)2胁迫下黄瓜幼苗的净光合速率、蒸腾速率和气孔导度,却抑制了Ca(NO3)2胁迫下胞间CO2浓度的升高。研究认为,适宜浓度的外源BR浸种和喷叶处理均可有效增强黄瓜幼苗渗透调节能力,降低细胞膜质过氧化伤害程度,提高抗氧化酶活性和光合效率,从而表现出对Ca(NO3)2胁迫的抗性,并以操作简便、用量极低的0.01mg·L-1 BR浸种方法效果最佳。     

半根和全根干旱对嘎拉苹果组培苗渗透调节物质积累的影响

以1年生苹果组培苗为试验材料,用改良的Hoagland营养液加20％聚乙二醇6000进行半根渗透胁迫（HRS）处理,与全根渗透胁迫（WRS）和只加营养液的对照（CK）进行比较,研究了根系不均匀供水条件下植株的叶片水势、脯氨酸、游离氨基酸、町溶性糖、淀粉等几种有机溶质,以及Na^-、K^-、Mg^2＋、Ca^2＋、Cl^-、SO4^2-、NO3^-等无机离子的含量变化特点。结果表明,HRS与CK之问叶片的日出前水势不存在显著差异,但显著高于WRS。叶片的日出前水势与叶片中脯氨酸和可溶性糖含量之间呈负相关关系,与淀粉含量之问呈正相关关系,与Na^-、K^-、Mg^2＋、Ca^2＋、Cl^-、SO4^2-、NO3^-之间没有相关关系。表明干旱胁迫后苹果幼苗叶片中脯氨酸等有机溶质参与渗透调节作用,无机离子的作用较小。HRS叶片中有机溶质没有大量积累,表明HRS植株整体的水分供应状况良好。     

外源Ca(NO_3)_2对NaCl胁迫下番茄幼苗生理特征的影响

以番茄品种'农城906'和"毛粉802'幼苗为材料,利用Hoagland基础培养液,研究在150 mmol/L NaCl胁迫下外源10、20、30和40 mmol/L Ca(NO3)2对番茄植株盐胁迫的缓解作用.结果显示,(1) NaCl胁迫显著降低了2个品种幼苗地上和地下部分干重、叶片叶绿素含量和根系活力,增加了幼苗的可溶性糖含量、细胞膜透性和MDA含量,同时使其CAT、POD、SOD活性显著降低;(2)添加20 mmol/L Ca(NO3)2能够有效提高盐胁迫条件下幼苗的地上和地下部干重,缓解叶绿素的降解和根系活力的下降,增加幼苗体内可溶性糖含量,降低叶片质膜透性和MDA含量,增强幼苗体内POD、CAT等细胞保护酶活性,但随着Ca(NO3)2浓度的继续增加,这种缓解作用逐渐减小.研究表明,一定浓度的外源Ca(NO3)2能有效缓解NaCl对番茄幼苗的生长和生理伤害,在一定程度上增强番茄幼苗对盐胁迫的耐受力,并以20 mmol/L Ca(NO3)2对NaCl胁迫的缓解效果最佳.     

一氧化氮参与调节盐胁迫诱导的玉米幼苗脱落酸积累

以三叶一心期的玉米幼苗为实验材料,研究了盐胁迫下玉米幼苗根尖和叶片中一氧化氮（NO）和脱落酸（ABA）积累之间的关系。结果表明,盐胁迫下玉米幼苗NO和ABA的含量均增加,用NO供体硝普钠（Sodium nitroprusside,SNP）处理时,ABA含量亦增加,且累积的时间较盐胁迫下早。用NO合成的抑制剂L-NAME （Nω-nitro-L-arginine methyl ester hydrochloride）和NaN,处理时,可减弱盐胁迫诱导的ABA含量的增加,用NO清除剂cPTIO处理时,这种盐胁迫诱导的ABA增加减少。推测盐胁迫下产生的NO参与调节ABA的积累及逆境下植物的防御反应。     

Recent advances in the study of Kaposi's sarcoma-associated herpesvirus replication and pathogenesis

It has now been over twenty years since a novel herpesviral genome was identified in Kaposi's sarcoma biopsies. Since then, the cumulative research effort by molecular biologists, virologists, clinicians, and epidemiologists alike has led to the extensive characterization of this tumor virus, Kaposi's sarcoma-associated herpesvirus(KSHV; also known as human herpesvirus 8(HHV-8)), and its associated diseases. Here we review the current knowledge of KSHV biology and pathogenesis, with a particular emphasis on new and exciting advances in the field of epigenetics. We also discuss the development and practicality of various cell culture and animal model systems to study KSHV replication and pathogenesis.     

The structure, reproduction and taxonomy of Vidalia and Osmundaria (Rhodophyta, Rhodomelaceae)

Comprises species occurring mostly in subtidal habitats in tropical, subtropical and warm-temperate areas of the world. An analysis of the type species, V. spiralis (Sonder) Lamouroux ex J. Agardh, a species from Australia, establishes basic characters for distinguishing species in the genus. These characters are (1) branching patterns of thalli, (2) flat blades that may be spiralled on their axis, (3) width of the blade, (4) primary or secondary derivation of sterile and fertile branchlets and (5) position of sterile and fertile branchlets on the thalli. Application of the latter two characters provides an important basic method for separation of species into three major groups. Osmundaria , a genus known only in southern Australia, was studied in relation to Vidalia , and its separation from the Vidalia assemblage is not accepted. Species of Vidalia therefore are transferred to the older genus name, Osmundaria. Two new species, Osmundaria papenfussii and Osmundaria oliveae are described from Natal. Confusion in the usage of the epithet, Vidalia fimbriala Brown ex Turner has been clarified, and Vidalia gregaria Falkenberg, described as an epiphyte on Osmundaria pro/ifera Lamouroux, is revealed to be young branches of the host, Osmundaria prolifera.     

New or rare chromosome counts in Artemisia L. (Asteraceae, Anthemideae) and related genera from Kazakhstan

Fifteen chromosome counts of six Artemisia taxa and one species of each of the genera Brachanthemum, Hippolytia, Kaschgaria, Lepidolopsis and Turaniphytum are reported from Kazakhstan. Three of them are new reports, two are not consistent with previous counts and the remainder are confirmations of very scarce (one to four) earlier records. All the populations studied have the same basic chromosome number, x = 9, with ploidy levels ranging from 2x to 6x. Some correlations between ploidy level, morphological characters and distribution are noted.

Selection with two alleles and complete dominance

For a plant selection model with frequency-independent viabilities, fertilities and selfing rates, it is shown that apart from global fixation, for certain parameter combinations a protected polymorphism and facultative fixation (either allele may become fixed according to initial frequencies) may both occur. Facultative fixation requires different selling rates for the dominant and recessive type. Protection of the polymorphism requires resource allocation for male and female function. In this connection the problem of purely genetically caused population extinction is discussed.
For general frequency dependence and regular segregation, the chances for establishment of a completely recessive gene are compared to those of a completely dominant gene. It is proven that the process of establishment of the recessive gene, despite a fitness advantage, may be considerably endangered by drift effects if random mating prevails. The recessive gene may reach the same effectivity in establishment as a dominant gene, only if the recessive homozygote mates exclusively with its own type during the period of establishment.
