CO2浓度升高对茴香植株生长、精油含量和组分的影响

 采用每日定时向密封人工气候室补充CO₂的方法,研究了3种CO₂浓度（平均浓度分 别为287.11、532.88和780.46 μmol·mol^-1）对茴香 (Foeniculum vulgare)生长、精油含量和组分的影响。结果表明：随着CO₂浓度的升高,茴香的株高、花序数、花序鲜重、花序干重、全株干重 和植株的干物率均有所上升;植株可溶性糖和全碳含量不断升高,而全氮和蛋白氮含量不断减少;叶色素含量呈下降趋势,叶绿素a/b比的差异 不显著;植株精油含量（分别为1.26、1.45和1.57 ml·(100 g) ^-1 DW）和单株精油产量（分别为0.019、 0.023和0.033 ml）均随之升高。从茴 香植株的精油中鉴定出22种成分,用不同浓度的CO₂处理,精油的成分种类没有差异,成分相对含量却有差别,差异达到极显著水平的有：醎蒎 烯、鈅蒎烯、月桂烯、对聚伞花素、反式葑醇乙酸酯和顺式茴香脑;含量差异达到显著水平的有：香桧烯、水芹烯、罗勒烯、鉥萜品烯、3,4- 二甲基-2,4,6_三烯、爱草脑、葑醇乙酸酯、古巴烯、 金合欢烯和吉玛烯。茴香精油的主要成分反式茴香脑的含量（分别为55.94%、57.20%和 59.5 5%）随着CO₂浓度的升高而升高,而柠檬烯含量（29.60%、30.24%和26.12%）表现出相反的趋势,二者在不同的CO₂浓度处理之间差异均不 显著。

Differential permeability of murine visceral yolk sac to thymidine and to hydroxyurea.

Mouse embryos at the 10–12-somite stage of development were excised from the uterus either with or without the encapsulating visceral yolk sac and were incubated in vitro in 3 × 10^?7M thymidine (methyl-T, 5 μCi/ml) for 30 min or in 4 × 10^?3M hydroxyurea for 45 min with [³H]thymidine present for the last 30 min. Radioautograms of nuclei of neural epithelium enabled an estimate of the effectiveness of the barrier imposed by the visceral yolk sac membrane to the passage of thymidine and hydroxyurea.Labeling of nuclei in the neural epithelium showed that the visceral yolk sac caused a 44% decrease in frequency and a 51% decrease in intensity of label. Hydroxyurea inhibited labeling by 15% in frequency and 37% in intensity irrespective of the presence or absence of visceral yolk sac. These results show that hydroxyurea and the presence of visceral yolk sac independently interfered with labeling of the neural epithelium by thymidine and that visceral yolk sac caused a proportionally greater retardation of label than did hydroxyurea.Nuclei of the endodermal epithelium of the intervening yolk sac, following exposure to hydroxyurea, showed a labeling decrease of 44% in frequency and 77% in intensity. The inhibitory effect of hydroxyurea on yolk sac labeling, however, did not alter yolk sac permeability to hydroxyurea. The results indicate that the visceral yolk sac, by offering no detectable barrier to hydroxyurea, permits prompt teratogenic action of hydroxyurea directly upon the embryo and suggest that the visceral yolk sac is a likely candidate to account for reports that the 8.5-day mouse embryo in situ fails to label with radioisotopic thymidine.     

The ontogeny of agonistic behaviour in the blue gourami, Trichogaster trichopterus (Pisces,Anabantoidei)

The development of agonistic behaviour in the blue gourami, Trichogaster trichopterus, was studied from hatching to four months of age. Larval motor patterns appear first as simple, uncoordinated, and irregular movements and gradually become regular and well coordinated, forming integrated complex patterns, such as swimming, surfacing, and feeding. Most motor patterns used in agonistic interactions are first exhibited in non-social contexts. Initial interactions between young fish consist of Approach and investigation in a feeding context, in some cases followed by nibbling, Biting, and Chasing by one fish. Later, initial Approaches are separated from Biting and Chasing by Lateral Displays, circling, Tail Beating, and Fin Tugging, and by Appeasement behaviour that inhibits Chasing and Biting by the opponent.Agonistic behaviour of socially isolated fish, when paired in dyadic encounters as adults, indicates that the role of social experience as an integrator and regulator of social behaviour may change progressively during development and become more important as ontogeny proceeds.     

Solanum L. section Solanum—a name change in S. villosum Miller

The discovery of an earlier epithet for the eglandular-haired subspecies of the Eurasian tetraploid Solarium villosum Miller has necessitated a name change and a new combination. The taxon previously called S. villosum Miller subsp. puniceum (Kirschl.) Edmonds now becomes S. villosum subsp. miniatum (Bernh. ex Willd.) Edmonds. Additional synonyms of this subspecies are given, together with the reasons for the selection of the epithet 'miniatum' rather than 'humile' which was published at the same time.

Applications of a thermal imaging technique in the study of the ascent of sap in woody species

We present applications of infrared thermograph to the direct observation of water transport in stems of woody species. Presently, the method gives only qualitative information on the path of sap movement along the stem, and therefore, does not replace any of the common quantitative methods of sap flow measurement. Nevertheless, the thermal imaging technique provides a novel approach to the study of the ascent of sap and could have a role in supporting more quantitative methods. Thermography permits visualization of the thermal variations of a fairly large area of the stem in real time, and hence, is well suited for spatial analysis of sap movement. Three experiments were carried out during the summers of 1991 and 1992, with the following objectives: to define the sap flow distribution in the active annual rings; to identify grain anomalies in the sap wood; and to study the consequences of induced embolism on the path of sap flow. Altogether, we tested more than 10 woody species (broad-leaves and conifers) either in natural conditions or in the nursery. We found considerable differences in the spatial distribution of sap flow not only between species and individuals but also within a single tree. Grain anomalies or embolized zones in the xylem, which are easily demonstrated, often further modify the path of sap flow. The irregularity of sapwood dimensions and of sap flow among tree rings requires careful evaluation of the positioning of the probes when using methods for quantitative measurements.     

Regulation of B cell tolerance by murine gangliosides

The potential role of gangliosides as modulators of the triggering of neonatal primary B lymphocytes at the single precursor cell level was evaluated. Tolerance was induced in splenic fragment cultures containing an excess of carrier-primed T cells. Gangliosides at low concentrations (20 ng/culture) abrogated the tolerogenic effect of haptens presented on carriers not recognized by environmental T cells. The permanent arrest of immature B-cell responsiveness resulting from tolerogen treatment was eliminated by the presence of gangliosides during tolerogen treatment. The active moiety in the glycolipid preparation which protected B cells during tolerogen treatment was separated by ion-exchange chromatography and demonstrated to be in the disialoganglioside fraction.

Effects of heat treatment and dehydration on bioactive polysaccharide acemannan and cell wall polymers from Aloe barbadensis Miller

Physico-chemical modifications promoted by heat treatment and dehydration at different temperatures (30–80 °C) on acemannan, a bioactive polysacharide from aloe vera (Aloe barbadensis Miller) parenchyma, were evaluated. Modification of acemannan, a storage polysaccharide, was particularly significant when dehydration was performed above 60 °C. Heating promoted marked changes in the average molecular weight (MW) of the bioactive polysaccharide, increasing from 45 kDa, in fresh aloe, to 75 and 81 kDa, for samples dehydrated at 70 and 80 °C, respectively. This could be attributed to structural modifications, such as deacetylation and losses of galactose-rich side-chains from the mannose backbone. These structural modifications were reflected by the significant changes occurring in the related functional properties, such as swelling, water retention capacity, and fat adsorption capacity, which exhibited a significant decrease as the temperature of dehydration increased. Further, dehydration also promoted significant modification of the main type of cell wall polysaccharides present within the aloe parenchyma tissues. Pectic polysaccharides from the cell wall matrix were affected by heating, probably due to either β-elimination processes or enzyme-catalysed degradation. The influence that these physico-chemical modifications might have on the bioactivity and properties of processed products from A. barbadensis Miller needs to be considered.
