凝固剂对水稻花药培养愈伤组织诱导的影响

本文初步研究了不同类型的凝固剂对水稻花药培养愈伤组织形成的影响。结果发现,用Gelrite、马铃薯淀粉、甘薯淀粉、可溶性淀粉代替琼脂可明显促进水稻花药培养愈伤组织的产生而尤以5.0%马铃薯淀粉为最佳。出愈率比琼脂增加5.2倍,达液体培养水平。以8个不同基因型,为材料研究发现,5.0%马铃薯淀粉作凝固剂,有7个材料出愈率高于对照,最高的BC 163比对照增加7.75倍,平均增加1.15倍。另外,以5.0%马铃薯淀粉作凝固剂代替0.8%琼脂可降低成本30%。因此,用马铃薯淀粉作凝固剂在水稻花药培养中可能具有潜在的应用价值。     

黑节草未成熟种子的形态发育及其在离体培养时的表现

黑节草(Dendrobium candidum Wall ex Lind.)2—6个月种龄的胚均处于球形胚阶段,不同种龄的胚在体积大小、胚细胞数目、胚细胞内的淀粉粒含量和超微结构上有差异。在离体培养条件下黑节草种子萌发率可达95％,种子萌发后形成原球茎,原球茎可以直接发育形成幼苗,又可以由原球茎产生大量愈伤组织,由愈伤组织再分化发育成幼苗。种子萌发过程中,胚顶端分生组织细胞的淀粉逐渐消耗,淀粉的变化与分生组织和子叶的形成有明显的相关性。     

A MICROSCOPICAL STUDY OF THE STATOCYTE SYSTEM IN STEMS OF ETIOLATED PHASEOLUS SEEDLINGS

In etiolated bean seedlings there is a starch sheath around the vascular stem tissue. This cell layer shows a gradient of amyloplast number and cell dimensions. We demonstrated a maximum relative amyloplast pressure in the stem hook. Cytological as well as physiological arguments indicate that the stem hook may play an important role in graviperception through this starch sheath.

饲料不同水平淀粉对全养殖周期异育银鲫“中科3号”生长和糖代谢的影响

研究探讨了饲料淀粉对全养殖周期异育银鲫(Carassius auratus gibelio)生长性能和糖代谢的影响。实验以玉米淀粉为主要糖源,分别设计淀粉水平为3%(S3)、13%(S13)、23%(S23)、33%(S33)和43%(S43)的5种等氮等脂饲料,在长江故道江面网箱中饲养初始体重为(12.0±0.1) g的异育银鲫幼鱼340d,期间根据鱼体养成阶段共取样5次,生长阶段分为63d(D63,幼鱼期)、110d(D110,养成前期)、223d(D223,越冬期)、275d(D275,越冬后)和340d(D340,养成中后期)。研究结果表明,幼鱼期D63异育银鲫后肠淀粉酶活力较低且对饲料淀粉水平变化不敏感,自养成前期D110之后鱼体后肠淀粉酶活力增强且随饲料淀粉水平的变化产生波动。幼鱼期D63异育银鲫glut2 mRNA相对表达量无显著差异,其他阶段异育银鲫glut2 mRNA相对表达量水平随饲料淀粉水平升高而升高。各个生长阶段异育银鲫糖酵解的敏感度高于糖异生代谢,幼鱼期D63与养成前期D110异育银鲫糖脂转化能力较强。幼鱼期D63异育银鲫适宜饲料淀粉水平为23%;养成前期D1...     

METABOLIC ASPECTS OF THERMOGENESIS IN MALE CONES OF FIVE CYCAD SPECIES

High starch concentrations in the sporophylls of male cones of five species of cycad and their depletion during their heat-producing phase of development suggest that starch is a major fuel source for thermogenesis in these plants. Carbon-13/carbon-12 ratio analyses of respired CO₂, starch, and lipids in a male cone of one of these species, Macrozamia moorei F. Muell., indicate that although starch is a major contributor to respiration, lipids are also an important respiratory substrate.     

STARCH IN FUNGI. II. INDUCTION OF AMYLOIDITY IN MEMBERS OF DIVERSE GENERA

Nonamyloid hyphae from fungal fruit bodies which normally produce amyloid structures can be induced to produce starch molecules when incubated in glucose-1-phosphate solution. Hyphae from fruit bodies without natural amyloid structures could not be induced to produce starch. The genes for the starch-synthesizing enzymes are apparently activated when fruit body formation is initiated.     

玉米灌浆期水分差异供应对籽粒淀粉积累及其酶活性的影响

利用普通玉米(Zay mays)‘掖单22’和高油玉米‘高油115’,研究了灌浆期水分差异供应对籽粒淀粉及其组分积累、相关酶活性动态变化的影响。结果表明,两种类型玉米淀粉积累和酶活性动态变化趋势基本一致,但对水分的反应有差异。缺水提高了‘掖单22’籽粒中淀粉、支链淀粉含量,而直链淀粉含量下降,‘高油115’则是籽粒中的淀粉含量、支链淀粉和直链淀粉含量提高;充分供水使淀粉及其组分产量提高;叶片中蔗糖合成酶(SS)、磷酸蔗糖合成酶(SPS)活性随水分供应水平而提高,尤其在授粉后10~30 d增幅更加明显。充分供水明显提高籽粒中腺苷二磷酸葡萄糖焦磷酸化酶(ADPG-PPase)、尿苷二磷酸葡萄糖焦磷酸化酶(UDPG-PPase)、可溶性淀粉合成酶(SSS)和淀粉粒结合淀粉合成酶(GBSS)活性,缺水使籽粒中酶活性下降较早且迅速;SPS、ADPG-PPase、SSS酶活性对缺水反应比较敏感。     

LOCALIZATION OF STARCH BIOSYNTHETIC AND DEGRADATIVE ENZYMES IN MAIZE LEAVES

The cellular distribution of the starch biosynthetic and degradative enzymes in protoplasts prepared from maize leaf mesophyll and bundle sheath cells was investigated. In conformity with the cellular distribution of starch, starch biosynthetic enzymes (soluble starch synthase, ADPglucose pyrophosphorylase, branching enzyme and starch Phosphorylase) were exclusively localized in the bundle sheath cells. In contrast, starch degradative enzymes (α-amylase, β-amylase and debranching enzyme) were present in both types of leaf cells. Isolated chloroplasts from bundle sheath cells were shown to contain 100% of the starch biosynthetic enzymes. However, approximately 60% of the activity of degradative enzymes and 67% of the activity of starch Phosphorylase was localized in bundle sheath chloroplasts.     

CHARACTERIZATION OF STARCH GRAINS IN THE NONARTICULATED LATICIFER OF EUPHORBIA PULCHERRIMA (POINSETTIA)

Starch grain morphology in laticifer amyloplasts of Euphorbia pulcherrima Willd. (poinsettia) was examined for evidence of starch metabolism in vegetative and flowering plants. Laticifer starch grains in vegetative plants were rod shaped with lengths ranging from 3 to 60 μm. Average grain size was significantly larger in stems than leaves, and in older than younger tissues. Starch grain length frequency was unimodal and approximated a normal probability distribution in stems, but was skewed positively toward smaller grains in leaves. Frequency distributions were shifted toward larger grains in older tissues. Under short-day photoperiod (flowering) conditions, round starch grains formed in latex of stems, and the average length of rod-shaped grains decreased in latex of stems and leaves. Round grains did not occur in laticifers of leaves or bracts. Round starch grains often occurred in aggregates of two or more subunits. Changes in size and shape of latex starch grains indicate that amyloplasts in fully differentiated laticifers metabolize starch. Identification of metabolically active amyloplasts in differentiated laticifers suggests that the function of these organelles may involve starch mobilization under certain physiological conditions.     

一种新型淀粉酶的鉴定及其产酶菌株的筛选

对筛选到的菌株ZX99产生的一种新型淀粉酶（异麦芽低聚糖酶）进行了分析鉴定,ZX99菌株能产生一种胞外淀粉酶,该酶能催化淀粉的降解产生异麦芽低聚糖,对原产酶菌株ZX99多次进行紫外线照射诱变后,获得了优良,稳定的变异菌株RB3．232,其产酶水平为原株的160％,产物薄层层析证明,该酶能催化淀粉的降解,产生异麦芽糖,潘糖,异麦芽三糖和异麦芽四糖等低聚糖,但对普鲁兰基本不起作用,由此证明它是一种不同于新型普鲁兰酶（nepullulanase)和 传统淀粉酶（amylase)的一种新型淀粉酶。     

高CO_2浓度对大豆不同叶位叶片叶绿体淀粉粒积累的效应

对高CO_2浓度下生长的大豆(Glycine max(L.)Merr.)不同叶位的叶片进行了电镜观察,揭示出大豆不同叶位叶片的叶绿体对倍增的CO_2浓度反应不一。其显著的超微结构差异特征是:1.叶位居中的叶片叶绿体积累的淀粉粒不仅很大,而且最多,有的叶绿体中的淀粉粒可达20个,几乎充满着叶绿体的基质空间。2.下位叶叶绿体的淀粉粒积累较多,通常为2～5个;3.上位叶叶绿体所含淀粉粒既小又少,虽然有的叶绿体中也积累有3～4个淀粉粒,但大多数叶绿体中所含淀粉粒仅有1～2个。以上结果联系到大豆中位叶的光合作用速率较高及对籽粒产量起作用最大来讨论是很有意义的。     

ANALYSIS OF STARCH ACCUMULATION AND GERMINATION IN ONOCLEA SPORES

Previous studies have shown that low fluences of light accelerate starch accumulation and enhance germination of Onoclea spores. Fluence response curves for induction of starch accumulation were compared with fluence response curves for enhancement of germination in order to determine if the two photoresponses in Onoclea spores have a common photoreceptor. Fluence response curves indicate that both responses were proportional to the log of the fluence and that the relative fluence efficiencies of the four wavelength regions tested were similar for induction of both germination and starch accumulation. Red (600–720 nm) irradiation was the most efficient, while green (500–600 nm), blue (400–520 nm), and far-red (720–900 nm) irradiations showed a decreasing order of efficiency for induction of the responses. A correlation coefficient between the amount of starch accumulated as a result of red irradiation and the final percent germination was calculated to be 0.964. These results support the hypothesis that a common photoreceptor mediates both photoinduced germination and starch accumulation. 3-(3,4-dichlorophenyl)-1,1-dimethylurea (DCMU) inhibits photosynthesis by blocking the flow of electrons from Photosystem II to Photosystem I. At 0.1 mM DCMU failed to inhibit both photoinduced starch acumulation and germination. This result and the greater efficiency of red than blue light, the low fluence functional for induction, and the fluence dependency argue against the participation of photosynthesis in photoinduced starch accumulation. A similar conclusion has been previously drawn for photoenhancement of Onoclea spore germination. Additionally, the effects 0.01–1.0 mm cycloheximide and 100 μl/l ethylene on photoinduced starch accumulation were investigated. Neither agent inhibited starch accumulation, whereas both substances inhibited germination 70–90% when applied at a time coincidental with the period of rapid starch accumulation. These results indicate that the photoinduction of starch accumulation does not have an ethylene sensitive stage nor does it require protein synthesis as does photoenhancement of germination of Onoclea spores.     

ONTOGENY OF CHICKEN HEMOGLOBIN. I. ELECTROPHORETIC STUDY OF THE HETEROGENEITY OF HEMOGLOBIN IN DEVELOPMENT

Separation of different molecular species of hemoglobin from developing chickens by starch gel electrophoresis has revealed the appearance of early embryonic (embryonic), late embryonic (fetal) and adult hemoglobin (Hb) type during development. In 5-day embryos, there are 3 or 4 forms of embryonic Hb type. They begin to decrease in 6-day embryos and cannot be detected in embryos after 10 days of incubation. In 6-day embryos, two forms of adult Hb type appear, and one of them, which is a major form in adults, becomes t o be a major one in 7-day embryos. One or two forms of fetal Hb type first appear in 10-day embryos and are still present in 5-day posthatching chickens.
Ultracentrifugation of carbonmonoxyhemoglobins from embryos at early and at later stages (fetuses), from newly hatched and from adult chickens has shown that they have a single monodisperse peak. Some heterogeneity, however, has been detected after starch gel electrophoresis, probably owing to aggregation or polymerization.
Subunit analysis of embryonic, fetal and adult Hb type by starch gel electrophoresis in formate buffer at pH 1.9 has indicated that embryonic Hb type contains total 5 subunits, C, D, E, F and G; fetal Hb type, total 2, A and H; and adult Hb type, total 3, B, F and H.

NOTE—THE STA-1 MUTATION PREVENTS ASSEMBLY OF STARCH GRANULES IN NITROGEN-STARVED CELLS AND SERVES AS A USEFUL MORPHOLOGICAL MARKER DURING SEXUAL REPRODUCTION IN CHLAMYDOMONAS MONOICA (CHLOROPHYCEAE)

Iodine staining of clones of nitrogen-starved Chlamydomonas cells was used to screen for mutants with altered levels or altered composition of storage starch. Mutations leading to defects in quantity or morphology of starch granules not only can provide information on storage starch biosynthesis and granule assembly but can also be used as morphological markers in genetic and cell biological studies. A mutant of Chlamydomonas monoica Strehlow devoid of starch granules was obtained following ultraviolet mutagenesis. Nitrogen-starved cells of the sta-1 strain lacked pyrenoidal starch granules and granules normally associated with thylakoid membranes. The mutant phenotype was the consequence of a single Mendelian mutation that appeared to affect granule assembly rather than starch biosynthesis per se and that had no effect on vegetative growth, sexual reproduction, or zygospore viability.     

玉竹雄配子的发育——着重阐明质体在生殖细胞和营养细胞中的分布和变化

玉竹(Polygonatum simizui Kitag)小孢子在分裂前,质体极性分布导致分裂后形成的生殖细胞不含质体,而营养细胞包含了小孢子中全部的质体。生殖细胞发育至成熟花粉时期,及在花粉管中分裂形成的两个精细胞中始终不含质体。虽然生殖细胞和精细胞中都存在线粒体,但细胞质中无DNA类核。玉竹雄性质体的遗传为单亲母本型。在雄配子体发育过程中,营养细胞中的质体发生明显的变化。在早期的营养细胞质中,造粉质体增殖和活跃地合成淀粉。后期,脂体增加而造粉质体消失。接近成熟时花粉富含油滴。对百合科的不同属植物质体被排除的机理及花粉中贮藏的淀粉与脂体的转变进行了讨论。     

CHANGES IN STARCH DISTRIBUTION IN THE OVERWINTERING ORGANS OF TYPHA LATIFOLIA (TYPHACEAE)

Histochemical determinations for storage of carbohydrates in rhizomes, roots, and young shoots of Typha latifolia L. (Typhaceae) were conducted during the overwintering period from November to April. Early winter analysis showed that rhizomes and roots contained large amounts of starch (45.03% and 22.80% dry weight, respectively). The major storage tissue was parenchyma of the rhizome central core. From winter into spring a gradual decrease in storage starch in the rhizome and root occurred concurrently with starch accumulation near zones of rapid development in young shoots (buds), but the rhizome retained much starch (27.40% dry weight) into the start of its 2nd yr.
