Summary The dorsal tegument of the mature cercaria of Notocotylus attenuatus is a syncytial, cytoplasmic layer, containing two types of secretory granule which are identifiable ultrastructurally. The type 1 secretory bodies are electron lucid, whereas most type 2 granules have a banded appearance. The ventral tegument contains granules which are secreted from the type 3 cells; the type 3 granules are membrane bound, electron dense, and consist of both an amorphous and a finely striated zone. The type 4 cells mainly contain cigar-shaped granules consisting of an amorphous core surrounded by concentric striations. The granules exhibit structural variability in shape and content. The type 4 cells undergo a cellular migration to the tegument during encystment. The structure of the posterior-lateral glands and mode of secretion of the granules are described. Possible functions of microtubules are discussed for each cell type. Details of some secretory processes involved in the formation of the hemispherical cyst wall are described. The layers of the cyst wall may be related to the granular contents of the various parenchymal cells of the cercaria. The tegument of the metacercaria originates primarily from the cytoplasm of the type 1, type 2, type 3 and type 4 cells. 相似文献

Food utilization by larvae of the fall armyworm (Spodoptera frugiperda [J. E. Smith]) (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae), showed greater consumption of corn (Zea mays L.) than pinto bean diet, Tifton 10, or Coastal bermudagrass (Cynodon dactylon [L.] Pers.). Transfer of larvae from diet to susceptible grasses such as corn, Tifton 10 or Coastal produced differences in growth rates as a result of food consumption rates. Transfer of larvae from diet to resistant grasses such as common centipedegrass (Eremochola ophiuroides [Munro] Hack) Tifton 292 bermudagrass, and zoysiagrass (Zoysia sp.) reduced larval growth as a result of low consumption rates and/or greater metabolic expenditures. Larvae initially fed Tifton 10, Coastal, or centipedegrass before feeding on corn grew significantly faster than when they fed continuously on corn.
Résumé Des chenilles de S. frugiperda ont consommé plus de maïs (Zea mays), que d'un régime à base de Phaseolus vulgaris de la variété Pinto, ou de Tifton 10, ou de Cynodon dactylon de la variété Coastal. Des chenilles, transférées du régime artificiel sur des plantes sensibles comme le maïs, le Tifton 10 ou le Coastal, ont présenté des taux de croissance différents provenant de modifications de leur consommation. Le transfert du régime à des plantes résistantes, telles que Eremochola ophiuroides, Tifton 292, C. dactylon et Zoysia sp., a entraîné une diminution de la croissance larvaire par suite d'une plus faible consommation et/ou de dépenses métaboliques plus élevées. Des chenilles ayant consommé du Tifton 10, du Coastal ou de l'E. ophiuroides avant de consommer du maïs, se sont développées significativement plus vite que celles qui s'étaient alimentées continuellement sur maïs.相似文献

Electrolyte leakage was measured in hardened and nonhardened leaves of three potato species, Solanum tuberosum L., S. acaule Bitt. and S. commersonii Dun., and one interspecific cross, Alaska Frostless (S. acaule x S. tuberosum) when exposed to various subzero temperatures. The leaves were undercooled (no ice present) from 0°C to -12.5°C for 45 min and to-4°C for up to 10 d. Regardless of the degree of undercooling no injury was observed in any of the potatoes, hardened or nonhardened, for up to 12 h. After 5 d, however, electrolyte leakage was observed in hardened S. tuberosum, S. acaule and S. commersonii, and in nonhardened Alaska Frostless. After 10 d exposure all potatoes, hardened and nonhardened, showed a significant amount of electrolyte leakage as compared to their controls kept at 0°C for 10 d.Scientific Journal Series Paper No. 13842 of the Minnesota Agricultural Experiment Station, St. Paul, Minn 相似文献

Summary Two double heterozygous 0/0 thalassemic sibs of Mexican descent were studied. The father had a 0/0 genotype, while the mother, one sib and several maternal relatives were 0/0 heterozygotes. Parental consanguinity and an apparently low frequency of thalassemia among Mexicans suggested a possible common origin of both 0 and 0 genes. A hypothesis to explain such a possibility is proposed on the basis of a partial mispairing between 0 and genes followed by a crossing-over which would results in a 0 recombinant gene. This hypothesis could also be extended to explain the 22 gluala, 22 alaglu and 116 arghis Hb variants as recombinants from double crossing-over between and mispaired genes for which the name interstitial-Lepore is proposed. 相似文献

Annual nitrogen and phosphorus budgets for the whole North Sea taking into account the most recent data available were established. The area considered has a total surface of approximately 700,000km2 and corresponds to the definition by OSPARCOM (Oslo and Paris Commission) with the exclusion of the Skagerrak and Kattegat areas. Input and output fluxes were determined at the marine, atmospheric, sediment and continental boundaries, and riverine inputs based on river flows and nutrient concentrations at the river–estuary interface were corrected for possible estuarine retention. The results showed that the North Sea is an extremely complex system subjected to large inter-annual variability of marine water circulation and freshwater land run-off. Consequently, resulting total N (TN) and P (TP) fluxes are extremely variable from 1 year to another and this has an important influence on the budget of these elements. Total inputs to the North Sea are 8870±4860kTNyear–1 and 494±279kTPyear–1. Denitrification is responsible for the loss of 23±7% of the TN inputs while sediment burial is responsible for the retention of only of 2±2% of the TP input. For TN, due to the large variability on marine and estuarine fluxes, and to the uncertainty related to the denitrification rate, it was concluded that the North Sea could either be a source (1930kTNyear–1) or a sink (1700kTNyear–1) for the waters of the North Atlantic Ocean. For TP it was concluded that the North Sea is mostly a source (–4 to 52kTPyear–1) for the waters of the North Atlantic Ocean. 相似文献

Summary The total pigment and astaxanthin content ofPhaffia rhodozyma increased with increasing concentrations -pinene up to 500 l -pinene/l. Above this concentration the total pigment and astaxanthin content as well as the biomass production decreased. The addition of 500 l -pinene/l increased the total pigment content from 1652 g/g to 2201 g/g and the astaxanthin content from 1554 g/g to 1883 g/g. A sharp decrease in maximum specific growth rate occurred above 150 l -pinene/l. 相似文献

Mild cerebral anoxic/ischemic/stress insults promote tolerance and thereby protect the brain from subsequent lethal anoxic/ischemic insults. We examined whether specific activation of PKC , , , or isoforms is associated with ischemic preconditioning (IPC) in rat brain. IPC was produced by a 2-minute global cerebral ischemia. Membrane and cytosolic fractions of the hippocampi were immunoblotted using specific antibodies for PKC, , , and . PKC showed a significant translocation to the membrane fraction from 30 min to 4 h and PKC at 4 h following IPC. In contrast, the membrane/cytosol ratio of PKC showed a tendency to decrease at 30 min and 8 h, and the membrane/cytosol ratio of PKC was significantly decreased from 30 min to 24 h following IPC. These findings indicate PKC isoform-specific membrane translocations in the hippocampus after brief global brain ischemia and suggest that activation of PKC and PKC may be associated with IPC-induced tolerance in the rat hippocampus. 相似文献

The mechanism of uptake of water-insoluble -sitosterol by a newly isolated strain of Arthrobacter
simplex SS-7 was studied. The production of an extracellular sterol-pseudosolubilizing protein during growth of A. simplex on -sitosterol was demonstrated by isolating the factor from the cell-free supernatant and its subsequent purification by Sephadex G-150 column chromatography. The M
r of the purified sterol-pseudosolubilizing protein determined by SDS–PAGE was 19kDa. The rate of sterol pseudosolubilization (5.2×10–3g l–1h–1) could not adequately account for the rate of sterol uptake (72×10–3g l–1h–1) and the specific growth rate (56×10–3 h–1). However in the unfavourable growth condition, when the cells were treated with sodium azide at the level of 30–60% of MIC, the sterol pseudosolubilization accounted for nearly 74% of the total growth containing 96% free cells. Cellular adherence to substrate particles was found to play an active role in the normal growth of the strain on -sitosterol. Unlike sodium acetate-grown cells, whose surface activity was negligible (60mNm–1), the sterol-grown cells had strong surface activity (40mNm–1). The high lipid content and long chain fatty acids in the cell-wall of -sitosterol-grown cells probably contribute to the high sterol adherence activity of the cells. 相似文献

Residual toxicities of registered and selected experimental pesticides used on citrus against Agistemus industani Gonzalez (Acari: Stigmaeidae) were compared. Pesticides considered highly toxic to A. industani were: abamectin 0.15 EC at 731ml/ha+FC 435-66 petroleum oil at 46.8l/ha, pyridaben 75WP at 469g/ha, ethion 4EC at 7.01l/ha+FC 435-66 petroleum oil at 46.8l/ha, propargite 6.55 EC at 3.51l/ha, chlorfenapyr 2SC at 1.46l/ha applied alone or in combination with FC 435-66 petroleum oil at 46.8l/ha, sulphur 80DF at 16.81kg/ha, dicofol 4EC at 7.01l/ha, fenbutatin oxide 50WP at 2.24kg/ha, benomyl 50WP at 2.24kg/ha, benomyl 50WP at 1.68kg/ha+ferbam 76 GF at 5.60kg/ha, ferbam 76GF at 11.21kg/ha, neem oil 90EC at 46.8l/ha, and copper hydroxide DF (40% metallic copper) at 4.48kg metallic copper/ha+FC 435-66 petroleum oil at 46.8l/ha. Pesticides that were moderately to slightly toxic included: copper sulphate 98% at 4.48kg metallic copper/ha+FC 435-66 petroleum oil at 46.8l/ha, fenbuconazole 2F at 280ml/ha+FC 435-66 petroleum oil at 46.8l/ha, FC 435-66 petroleum oil applied alone at 46.8l/ha or 23.4l/ha, and diflubenzuron 25WP at 1.40kg/ha. Pesticides that were non-toxic included: fenbuconazole 2F at 585ml/ha, malathion 57EC at 5.85l/ha, FC 435-66 petroleum oil at 46.8l/ha, carbaryl 80S at 3.36kg/ha, chlorpyrifos 4EC at 4.68l/ha, and formetanate 92SP at 1.12kg/ha. Understanding the toxic effects of field weathered pesticides against key predacious mite species is important for effective IPM. The results of this study provide a comparison of direct and indirect toxic effects of various pesticides to A. industani under field conditions. 相似文献

Benzyladenine (BAP) uptake and metabolism were characterized during the key stages of shoot organogenesis in leaf explants of Petunia MD1. Using leaf explant transfer experiments, it was shown that exposure to 2.2 M BAP for 6, 8 or 10 days induced shoot formation on 27, 80 and 100% of the explants respectively, with a concomitant increase in the number of shoots per explant. BAP uptake and metabolism were characterized in leaf explants after 1, 3, 6 or 10 days exposure to [3H]BAP or 10 days exposure plus an additional 2 days on basal medium (10+2). BAP and 9--D-ribofuranosyl-BAP ([9R]BAP) were detected at days 1 and 3 only. Therefore, the BAP free base was not detectable during the shoot induction period between days 6 and 10, as defined by leaf transfer experiments. The BAP ribotide pool was largest on day 1 and decreased to day 10+2. It is possible that the BAP ribotide pool provided either the active cytokinin itself or acted as a short-term storage form for the active cytokinin in petunia shoot organogenesis. Other metabolites detected in petunia leaf tissue included 7--D-glucopyranosyl-BAP ([7G]BAP), 9--D-glucopyranosyl-BAP ([9G]BAP) and an unidentified metabolite C.Abbreviations BAP

Summary A procedure is described for the isolation of large numbers of viable aleurone protoplasts. After treatment with Onozuka cellulase protoplasts were obtained which were surrounded by a thin, Onozuka-resistant wall. These cells were termed spheroplasts. Treatment of spheroplasts with Glusulase digested away the residual wall, yielding naked protoplasts. Measurements of respiration using a Clarke-type oxygen electrode indicated that aleurone cells isolated by this procedure were viable.Work supported by National Science Foundation grant GB-27468. 相似文献

T-cell clones expressing the T-cell receptor (Tcr) were generated from peripheral blood lymphocytes (PBLs) and from a thymus sample. In the panel of ten thymus-derived clones, four Tcr phenotypes [as defined by the reaction of monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) directed against known V and V regions] were identified. All the clones lacked expression of the V3 V region, while seven clones were V1+ . V1 was found in combination with V9 or with undefined VVregions. In addition, two other Tcr phenotypes were identified on these clones: V9+ V1– V3– and V9– V1– V3– One of the clones expressed CD4 and another was CD8positive. The remaining clones were CD4– CD8–. In the panel of 76 PBL-derived, Tcr-bearing clones, five Tcr phenotypes could be identified. In contrast to the thymus-derived clones, 30% of the clones were V3+ whereas V1 was expressed by a minority of the clones only. One clone was CD4-positive and approximately 30% of the clones were CD8-positive. Four of the five mAb-defined Tcr phenotypes could be identified on both thymus and PBL-derived T-cell clones. However, biochemical analysis of the Tcrs demonstrates differences in the usage of Ct- and C2-encoded y chains by T cells derived from the thymus and PBLs. The results therefore indicate that, at the clonal level, similarities and differences exist between the Tcr repertoires expressed in the thymus and by PBLs. Furthermore, they indicate that combinatorial Tcr heterogeneity is larger than has so far been described. The receptor diversity, combined with the potential of Tcr+ cells to express CD4 or CD8, indicates that these cells are a heterogeneous population that might mediate a number of immune functions. 相似文献

Fibrillar amyloid beta-protein (A) is the major protein of amyloid plaques in the brains of patients with Alzheimer's disease (AD). The mechanism by which normally produced soluble A gets fibrillized in AD is not clear. We studied the effect of neutral, zwitterionic, and anionic lipids on the fibrillization of A 1-40. We report here that acidic phospholipids such as phosphatidic acid, phosphatidylserine, phosphatidylinositol (PI), PI 4-phosphate, PI 4,5-P2 and cardiolipin can increase the fibrillization of A, while the neutral lipids (diacylglycerol, cholesterol, cerebrosides), zwitterionic lipids (phosphatidylcholine, phosphatidylethanolamine, sphingomyelin) and anionic lipids lacking phosphate groups (sulfatides, gangliosides) do not affect A fibrillization. A was found to increase the fluorescence of 1-acyl-2-[12-[ (7-nitro-2-1, 3-benzoxadiazol-4-yl) amino] dodecanoyl]-sn-glycero-3-phosphate (NBD-PA) in a concentration-dependent manner, while no change was observed with 1-acyl-2-[12-[(7-nitro-2-1, 3-benzoxadiazol-4-yl) amino] dodecanoyl]-sn-glycero-3-phosphoethanolamine (NBD-PE). Under similar conditions, other proteins such as apolipoprotein E, gelsolin and polyglutamic acid did not interact with NBD-PA. The order of interaction of amyloid -peptides with NBD-PA was A 1-43 = A 1-42 = A 17-42 > A 1-40 = A 17-40. Other A peptides such as A 1-11, A 1-16, A 1-28, A 1-38, A 12-28, A 22-35, A 25-35, and A 31-35 did not increase the NBD-PA fluorescence. These results suggest that phosphate groups, fatty acids, and aliphatic amino acids at the C-terminus end of A 1-40/A 1-42 are essential for the interaction of A with anionic phospholipids, while hydrophilic A segment from 1-16 amino acids does not participate in this interaction. Since positively charged amino acids in A are necessary for the interaction with negatively charged phosphate groups of phospholipids, it is suggested that Lys28 of A may provide anchor for the phosphate groups of lipids, while aliphatic amino acids (Val-Val-Ile-Ala) at the C-terminus of A interact with fatty acids of phospholipids. 相似文献

Domain structures of class I and class II MHC products were analyzed from a viewpoint of amino acid and nucleotide sequence homologies. Alignment statistics revealed that class I (transplantation) antigen H chains consist of four mutually homologous domains, and that class II (HLA-DR) antigen and chains are both composed of three mutually homologous ones. The N-terminal three and two domains of class I and class II (both and ) gene products, respectively, all of which being 90 residues long, were concluded to be homologous to 2-microglobulin (2M). The membraneembedded C-terminal shorter domains of these MHC products were also found to be homologous to one another and to the third domain of class I H chains. Class I H chains were found to be more closely related to class II chains than to class II chains. Based on these findings, an exon duplication history from a common ancestral gene encoding a 2M-like primodial protein of one-domain-length up to the contemporary MHC products was proposed. 相似文献

D[3H]mannoheptulose was recently reported to be poorly taken up by tumoral pancreatic islet cells of the RINm5F and INS1 lines. We have now investigated the effects of Dmannoheptulose upon Dglucose metabolism in these two cell lines. Dmannoheptulose (1.0–10.0 mM) only caused a minor decrease of Dglucose metabolism in RINm5F cells, whether at low (1.1 mM) or higher (8.3 mM) Dglucose concentration. A comparable situation was found in INS1 cells examined after more than 20 passages. In both cases, however, the hexaacetate ester of Dmannoheptulose (5.0 mM) efficiently inhibited Dglucose metabolism. In the INS1 cells, the relative extent of the inhibitory action of Dmannoheptulose upon Dglucose metabolism increased from 12.4 ± 2.6 to 38.3 ± 3.8% as the number of passages was decreased from more than 20 to 13–15 passages, the latter percentage remaining lower, however, than that recorded in INS1 cells also examined after 13–15 passages but exposed to Dmannoheptulose hexaacetate (66.9 ± 2.2%). These findings when compared to our recent measurements of D[3H]mannoheptulose uptake, reinforce the view that the entry of the heptose into cells and, hence, its inhibitory action on Dglucose metabolism are dictated by expression of the GLUT2 gene. 相似文献

The rat pheochromocytoma PC12 cell line, which differentiates into sympathetic neurons under nerve growth factor (NGF) treatment, contains at least three phosphoinositidase C (PIC) isozymes, PIC , PIC , PIC . These isozymes have been previously shown to display a different subcellular localization. To determine whether or not NGF induces changes in the presence and/or distribution of PIC isozymes during PC12 neural differentiation, studies were carried out by means of in situ immunocytochemistry. After NGF administration the proliferative activity was progressively reduced to very low levels, as measured by bromodeoxyUridine incorporation, and a neuron-like morphology was displayed by almost all cells. In unstimulated PC12 cells, PIC was detected in the nucleus whereas PIC was only cytoplasmic; PIC was found in both cell compartments. In cells treated with NGF for 3 days, neural processes extended to twice the diameter of the cell body; the isoform was concentrated near the nucleus, while the immunoreactivity of the form remained constant and the form was increased. After 10 days of treatment with NGF, PIC was hardly detectable and PIC immunostaining was considerably decreased. On the contrary, PIC progressively increased and, after 14 days of NGF exposure, fully differentiated cells displayed an intense labelling of cell body and neurites. In the same cells, PIC and PIC were almost negative. These results suggest that NGF dependent neural differentiation is related to the selective down regulation of PIC and and the increase of PIC isozyme associated with the decrease of cell proliferation. 相似文献

Hawaii's dry forests are among the most endangered of all ecosystems in the archipelago. Invasion of alien plant species into these ecosystems is one of the most significant threats to on-going efforts to preserve and restore Hawaii's remaining dry forests. Comparing the physiological performance of alien and native species can offer causal explanations behind the relative success of alien plant invasions within Hawaiian dry forests and elsewhere. We compared maximum rates of net CO2 assimilation, water-use efficiency (WUE), daily carbon gain, and leaf morphology for three native and two alien shrubby species growing within 1-m2 plots under two natural light (sub-canopy shade relative to open full sunlight) treatments. Maximum rates of net CO2 assimilation were similar between alien and native species (8.15 vs. 7.12molm–2s–1, respectively), however, native plants exhibited lower stomatal conductance and higher instantaneous WUE than alien plants in all treatments (0.13molm–2s–1 and 72.36mol CO2mol H2O–1 against 0.23 and 58.78, respectively). Alien plants had approximately 65% more aboveground biomass than native plants. This result may reflect differential seed production and seed bank viability between native and alien species. We found an overall strong, positive correlation between species-specific physiological traits and final species aboveground biomass. Based on this type of information we can predict species-specific boundaries across light gradients, and focus restoration efforts accordingly. 相似文献

Summary Own investigations on in-vivo tumor metabolism of the malignant human colon tumor showed a significant uptake of branched chain amino acids by the tumor itself. To study the quantitative tumor protein metabolism (compartment tumor) the13C-leucine-tracer-technique was modified.Beside the common13C-leucine-breath-test we measured also the AV-differences of13C-leucine,13C-ketoisocaproate and13CO2. The Tumorblood flow was measured by venous-outflow-technique as well as the tumor mass.In this way it is possible to get quantitative results in substrate exchange of branched chain amino acids in malignant human colon tumors. 相似文献

Summary -Fructofuranosidase was immobilized by alginate gel at high efficiency (92 %). The extreme long-term continuous reaction (half-life, 275 days) was achieved by the immobilized enzyme using sucrose at high concentration (500 mg ml–1) to produce fructo-olicosaccharides, such as 1-kestose (Fru21Fru21aGlc) and nystose (Fru21Fru21Fru21aGlc). 相似文献
