黑龙江西三江地区早白垩世孢粉组合

本文研究黑龙江东部西三江地区中生代煤系地层3个岩组中的孢粉组合。其中城子河组孢粉组合丰富,时代属欧特里期至巴列姆期,但目前材料尚不能对城子河组进行有意义的孢粉地层再分。穆棱组下部与城子河组的孢粉组合相似,反映植物群的渐变过程。东荣组的孢粉组合及其与邻区地层的对比关系亦有讨论,其时代有属凡兰吟期的可能。     

黑龙江省东部鸡西盆地城子河组下部早白垩世欧特里夫晚期海相沟鞭藻类

描述黑龙江省东部鸡西盆地典型的城子河组下部海相层(包括南部条带海相层,即原"石河北组”)的沟鞭藻类化石15属19种,含1新种和1新组合种.它们可分出两个沟鞭藻组合: Odontochitina operculata Muderongia tetracantha组合(下部)和Vesperopsis zhaodongensis组合(上部);讨论沟鞭藻组合的特征及其地质时代,并与国际上有关地层进行对比,认为典型的城子河组下部海相层的时代为Hauterivian晚期.据此,推测城子河组下部,即海相层及其下的地层时代属Valanginian晚期-Hauterivian晚期.     

黑龙江东部双鸭山、集贤煤田中生代含煤地层研究*

本文系统地讨论了黑龙江双鸭山、集贤两煤田的中生代含煤地层序列,综合各门类化石研究结果,认为海相的绥滨组和东荣组属晚侏罗世卡洛夫晚期至伏尔加期,非海相的城子河组和穆棱组属早白垩世尼坎期。文内提供11条详细的钻探剖面的生物地层资料。     

黑龙江林甸县白垩纪的植物化石和孢粉组合

黑龙江省林甸县泉头组所产植物化石,有古老的蕨类 Cladophlebis 和 Onychiopsis,其余是被子植物 Protophyllum undulatum sp.nov、Viburniphyllum serrulatum sp.nov.和 Plantno-phyllum sp.等。岩石中保存的孢粉有20种,19个属,绝大多数为蕨类孢子,类型多,数量大,其次是裸子植物,被子植物极少。植物化石孢粉组合特征,是以蕨类植物占绝对优势,裸子植物次之,被子植物极少。植物化石的种类多曾出现于早白垩世晚期,有原始叶属和形小而叶脉不规则的古老类型。多数孢粉化石曾出现于早白垩世,其中以早白垩世晚期的类型为数较多。这种组合,可以和美国东部的 Potomac 组的 Patapsco 层相比较,亦可与西伯利亚 Kolyma 盆地的早白垩世植物群对比。化石层的地质时代属早白垩世的 Aptian-Albian。当时气候暖热而潮湿。     

内蒙古乌兰盖盆地早白垩世孢粉组合

内蒙古乌兰盖盆地下白垩统大磨拐河组孢粉组合自上而下划分为两个组合:下部组合以Cyathidites-Cica-tricosisporites-Podocarpidites为代表,地质时代为早白垩世凡兰吟期-欧特里夫期(Valanginian-Hauterivian);上部组合以Cicatricosisporites-Appendicisporites-Pinuspollenites为代表,地质时代为早白垩世欧特里夫期-巴雷姆期(Hauterivian-Barremian)。在区域上可以与辽宁西部地区下白垩统九佛堂组、沙海组,内蒙古二连盆地下白垩统赛汉塔拉组,海拉尔盆地和大兴安岭地区的下白垩统大磨拐河组孢粉组合对比。     

黑龙江省东部鸡西盆地早白垩世穆棱组植物化石新材料

系统描述了最近采集的穆棱组植物化石22属23种,其中的两种被子植物叶化石均为具原始被子植物叶特征的小型叶,在该植物群中尚属首次发现。运用扫描电镜(SEM)等方法对其中的Tyrmia sp．,Nilssoniopteris sp．,Ginkgoites cf．．sibirica,．Sphenobaiern sp．,Elatocladus manchurica等化石的叶角质层进行了研究。据已有的资料统计,穆棱组迄今已知有化石植物31属38种。该植物群以真蕨类占据绝对优势,裸子植物也相当丰富,其中的大多数种类主要见于早白垩世,穆棱组的地质时代应属早白垩世巴列姆期或巴列姆-阿普梯早期。植物组合中以丰富的热带及亚热带型植物为主要特点,未发现针叶类型的植物,说明早白垩世穆棱组沉积时,该地区的气候温暖湿润;另一方面,落叶的银杏类和松柏类,以及裸子植物木化石中具有清楚的生长轮,又说明该地区的古气候存在着季节变化。该植物群属于早白垩世西伯利亚植物区或加拿大-西伯利亚植物区。     

吉林珲春晚白垩世植物群

本文记述了吉林珲春产的以元叶属为主的植物化石,介绍了元叶属的形态特征及其地质、地理分布。通过与有关植物群的对比,确定珲春植物群的时代为赛诺期。鉴于元叶属化石的环北太平洋的分布,可以认为北太平洋两岸在晚白垩世曾有过某种形式的陆地联系。文中记述了分属于8属的14种植物化石,其中有6个新种。     

迄今世界最早被子植物花序化石的首次发现

首次报道迄今已知世界最早的被子植物花序化石。该花序花石产于甸黑龙江鸡西早白垩世城子河组,花序由数十枚小花组成,其花粉具典型的被子植物特征,无明确的萌发口器,根据其所在层位下伏海相层化石佐证,以及与以色列等地早期被子植物花粉化石的对比等。该花序持质时代可能为早白垩世晚期,或Ｈａｕｔｅｒｉｖｉａｎ晚期至Ｂａｒｒｅｍｉａｎ早期。文中还讨论了此花序及其花粉化石的发现在研究全球被子植物起源早期演化等的重要意     

海拉尔盆地贝尔凹陷贝27井早白垩世孢粉组合及其地质意义

内蒙古自治区呼伦贝尔盟地区海拉尔盆地贝尔凹陷贝27井早白垩世孢粉植物群自下而上划分为3个孢粉组合:克鲁克孢(Klukisporites sp.)-原始松柏粉(Protoconiferus sp.)-双束松粉(Pinuspollenites sp.)组合,分布于南屯组二段;小桫椤孢(Cyathidites minor)-多云云杉粉(Piceaepollenites multigrumus)-单束松粉(Abietineaepollenites sp.)组合,分布于大磨拐河组一段;无突肋纹孢(Cicatricosisporites sp.)-卵形光面单缝孢(Laevigatosporites ovatus)\|破隙杉粉(Taxodiaceaepollenites hiatus)组合,分布于大磨拐河组二段。上述孢粉组合证明,贝27井南屯组地质时代为早白垩世Berriasian—Valanginian期;大磨拐河组地质时代应该为早中白垩世(Valanginian—Hauterivian)期,尽管未见到最原始的被子植物花粉(如Clavatipollenites和Asteropollis等),但具有一定百分含量的Triporoletes reticulatus(0-4.76%)出现,也不排除部分进入Barremian期的可能。贝27井南屯组二段沉积时期植被主要由针叶林构成,属于湿润的温带气候。大磨拐河组一段沉积时期植被主要由针叶林\|草丛构成,属于湿润的北亚热带气候。大磨拐河组二段沉积时期植被类型以针阔叶混交林\|草丛为主,属于湿润的北亚热带气候。     

新疆准噶尔盆地芳3井晚白垩世孢粉组合的发现及其地质意义

准噶尔盆地腹部芳3井紫泥泉子组所夹灰色泥岩中产丰富的盘星藻、葡萄藻等藻类、疑源类化石及一定数量的孢粉化石。孢粉化石计75属160种,并首次在新疆地区发现了可靠的鹰粉型化石Aquilapollenites以及在我国主要产于松辽盆地和广东三水盆地上白垩统的“大孢子”化石Balmeisporites,建立Schizaeoisporites grandus-Parcisporites parvisaccus-Liliacidites creticus(GPC)组合。通过对部分孢粉属种已知地质分布的分析以及与国内外部分地区晚白垩世孢粉组合的对比,将GPC组合的时代确定为晚白垩世坎潘期至马斯特里赫特期。根据紫泥泉子组的沉积特点及孢粉组合特征,认为晚白垩世准噶尔盆地应归属西北-东南孢粉植物区,局部层段沉积时期气候比较湿润,孢粉组合具有我国东北孢粉植物区与西北-东南孢粉植物区的过渡特点。     

A Unique Protease Cleavage Site Predicted in the Spike Protein of the Novel Pneumonia Coronavirus (2019-nCoV) Potentially Related to Viral Transmissibility

正Dear Editor,In December 2019, a novel human coronavirus caused an epidemic of severe pneumonia(Coronavirus Disease 2019,COVID-19) in Wuhan, Hubei, China(Wu et al. 2020; Zhu et al. 2020). So far, this virus has spread to all areas of China and even to other countries. The epidemic has caused 67,102 confirmed infections with 1526 fatal cases     

Curcuminoids as inhibitors of thioredoxin reductase: A receptor based pharmacophore study with distance mapping of the active site

Curcumin is the yellow pigment of turmeric that interacts irreversibly forming an adduct with thioredoxin reductase (TrxR), an enzyme responsible for redox control of cell and defence against oxidative stress. Docking at both the active sites of TrxR was performed to compare the potency of three naturally occurring curcuminoids, namely curcumin, demethoxy curcumin and bis-demethoxy curcumin. Results show that active sites of TrxR occur at the junction of E and F chains. Volume and area of both cavities is predicted. It has been concluded by distance mapping of the most active conformations that Se atom of catalytic residue SeCYS498, is at a distance of 3.56 from C13 of demethoxy curcumin at the E chain active site, whereas C13 carbon atom forms adduct with Se atom of SeCys 498. We report that at least one methoxy group in curcuminoids is necessary for interation with catalytic residues of thioredoxin. Pharmacophore of both active sites of the TrxR receptor for curcumin and demethoxy curcumin molecules has been drawn and proposed for design and synthesis of most probable potent antiproliferative synthetic drugs.     

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.     

Comparative morphology of the carpel in the Liliaceae: Hewardieae, Petrosavieae, and Tricyrteae

The young pistils in the melanthioid tribes, Hewardieae, Petrosavieae and Tricyrteae, are uniformly tricarpellate and syncarpous. They lack raphide idioblasts. All are multiovulate, with bitegmic ovules. The Petrosavieae are marked by the presence of septal glands and incomplete syncarpy. Tepals and stamens adhere to the ovary in the Hewardieae and the Petrosavieae but not in the Tricyrteae. Two vascular bundles occur in the stamens of the Hewartlieae and Tricyrtis latifolia. Ventral bundles in the upper part of the ovary of the Hewardieae are continuous with compound septal bundles and placental bundles in the lower part. Putative ventral bundles occur in the alternate position in the Tricyrteae and putative placental bundles in the opposite. position in the Petrosavieae. The dichtomously branched stigma in each carpel of the Tricyrteae is supplied by a bifurcated dorsal bundle.
