初花期和盛花期的桂花比较转录组分析

桂花开放期间色泽和香味均发生明显变化,目前对于其内在的分子机制尚不清楚。本研究以四季桂"金玉台阁"为实验材料,对初花期和盛花期桂花花朵进行转录组测序。去除低质量数据后,初花期桂花文库得到6 342万条Clean reads,盛花期桂花文库得到4 941万条Clean reads,经de novo组装后共得到113 292条Unigenes,平均长度为775 bp。在设定阈值下(|log2 Ratio|≥1且FDR≤0.05),有1 381个Unigenes上调表达,464个Unigenes下调表达。Gene Ontology (GO)分析显示有47个GO类别被显著富集;KEGG分析显示有24代谢通路显著富集,涉及植物激素与信号传导、类胡萝卜素生物合成、萜类生物合成、苯丙氨酸代谢、淀粉与蔗糖代谢等代谢过程。此外,还在转录组数据中鉴定到9个类胡萝卜素合成基因和3个香味形成基因,大部分基因在盛花期的表达量要高于初花期。本研究有助于桂花花色和香味形成关键基因的挖掘,且对今后桂花遗传改良育种有一定的指导意义。

冷箭竹生殖特性研究

１９８１－１９９０年对冷箭竹（Ｂａｓｈａｎｉａｆａｎｇｅｎｉａ）开花、结实、种子萌发、幼苗更新复壮等生殖特性进行了观察。冷箭竹开花周期为４５－５５年,开花持续期约１０年,１９８３年盛花期测定茎秆上着生花序的长度平均为１７０．８ｃｍ,每１茎秆上的小花数为１２８０．３枚,每朵小花从开放至萎蔫的持续期约６天,花药持续开裂时间为０．７７天,花粉生活力达９６．７％,柱头承受花粉时间为２．３天,雌蕊子房发育为果实平均为３５８６粒／ｍ￣２,未受粉的瘪粒为１３９９４粒／ｍ￣２。种子生活力为２７．６％,种子发芽率为１５％－２０％,当年生幼苗成活率为７６％－９３％。     

桂花开花进程中花瓣色素、可溶性糖和蛋白质含量的变化

以软叶丹桂(O smanthus fragrans‘Ruanye Dangu i’)、柳叶银桂(O.fragrans‘Liuye Y ingu i’)和四季桂(O.fra-grans‘Sijigu i’)3个桂花品种为试材,研究了桂花不同品种开花和衰老过程中的花瓣色素、可溶性糖和蛋白质等的变化。结果表明:(1)从初花期到盛花期再到衰老期,类胡萝卜素和花青素的含量先升高再下降,与花瓣颜色深浅变化一致,表明不同时期花色的变化主要由色素的含量变化所引起。(2)3个桂花品种花瓣的含水量、可溶性糖和可溶性蛋白质的含量均呈下降趋势,而花期较长的软叶丹桂比柳叶银桂和四季桂降幅要低,而柳叶银桂和四季桂之间差异不显著。     

不同生长阶段遮荫对番茄光合作用、干物质分配与叶N、P、K的影响

对番茄植株做了两种不同程度的遮荫处理,观测了夏季午间遮荫对光合速率,干物质积累量及其在根,茎,叶之间的分配,和叶N,P,K的含量以及经济产量的影响,发现不同时期遮荫影响不同。（1）遮荫增加三个阶段（开花早期,盛花期和开花后期）的气孔导度和胞间CO2浓度,显著降低开花早期中午的净化合速率,但盛花期中度遮荫（40%遮荫）使净光合速率随着时间的增加逐渐上升,在开花后期表现更加明显,平均净光合速率比对照高20%以上,蒸腾速率也增加较多。（2）开花早期和盛花期重度遮荫（如本实验中的75%遮荫）显著降低根,茎的干重,而开花后期中度遮荫的根,茎干重高于对照,但遮荫对叶干重的影响不明显。（3）开花早期和盛花期遮荫不明显影响叶片中N,P,K的含量,但开花后期中度遮荫使N,P,K含量增加,（4）开花早期两种遮荫对果实产量影响较小,但盛花期重度遮荫使产量降低,全部产量中无效部分所占的比例上升,开花后期中度遮荫的总产量和有效产量增加,单果重也增加,这些结果表明,在某些时期中度遮荫可以克服夏天辐射过强,气温过高对番茄的不良影响,对番茄生长,干物质积累和提高产量等有利,在生产上有意义。

对七叶树的开花物候期、花部特征、单花开放动态、花粉活力、柱头可授性、花粉-胚珠比(P/O)和杂交指数(OCI)等有关生殖生物学特性进行了研究。结果表明:(1)在西安地区七叶树4月22日进入初花期,5月5日至13日为盛花期,5月14日进入终花期,整个群花期持续30d左右,单花花期持续5～8d。(2)七叶树的花有雄花和两性花两种形态,其在形态大小和生理上有显著差异,雄花小于两性花,其子房退化,雄花的花粉活力远远大于两性花的花粉活力,雄花开花当天花粉活力最强,达到75.69%,是七叶树授粉的最佳时间;两性花雌雄蕊发育正常,其柱头可授期持续8～9d,开花后3d柱头可授性达到最强。(3)P/O和OCI检测结果均表明,七叶树繁育系统为异交,需要传粉者,属于雄全同株植物。     

川南城市园林中紫薇开花物候变化特征及其影响因素

为了明确城市园林中紫薇(Lagerstroemia indica)开花物候的变化特征,探讨花期影响因素和指导开花植物配置,对川南城市园林栽培的紫薇植株进行定期观测,记录了紫薇的2011—2014年开花物候,分析个体、群体水平上物候事件的差异以及植株大小和气候因子的影响。结果表明:紫薇个体在6月初至9月中旬进入花期,末花期多在10月,花期持续8~137 d,具有60~90 d花期的植株比例最高;不同年份开花植株比例和物候特征存在一定差异,种群水平花期持续时间最短为2014年的106 d,最长为2012年的130 d;但开花植株数量的时间格局总体相似,始花期与花期持续时间之间相关性显著;基径显著影响紫薇的开花物候特征,较大的植株往往开花较早,并且具有更长的花期;紫薇的盛花期多集中在7—9月;开花植株数量与前一个月的平均气温呈显著正相关,与同期温度、降雨量相关性不显著;紫薇开花物候在气候因子影响下年际间存在明显差异,也表现出一定规律性格局;园林中多样化的个体物候有利于维持群体水平上花期的观赏性,选择大植株可获得较稳定的观赏效果。

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.
