低温锻炼对绵头雪莲花组织培养苗抗寒性及抗氧化酶活性的影响

高山植物绵头雪莲花(Saussurea laniceps HandMazz.)组织培养苗经2℃低温锻炼后抗寒性明显增强,SOD、CAT、POD活性明显提高,可溶性蛋白质、脯氨酸含量升高,而可溶性糖含量没有明显变化.脱锻炼期间可溶性蛋白质含量仍高于低温锻炼期间的水平,脱锻炼后抗氧化酶活性略有上升或保持稳定状态.这些变化是绵头雪莲花组织培养苗适应低温逆境的生理生化基础.     

不同发育时期樟子松（Pinus sylvestris L. var. mongolica Litv.）的电阻抗参数与抗寒性的关系

采用电阻抗图谱（EIS）法和电导（EL）法对不同发育时期的樟子松（Pinus sylvestris L. var. mongolica Litv.）茎和针叶进行了抗寒性测定,试图通过比较两种方法测定抗寒性结果的相关性,找到适合冷冻处理后樟子松抗寒性测定和不经冷冻处理估测抗寒性的EIS参数,完善EIS法测定抗寒性。以8年生樟子松苗为试材,在抗寒锻炼阶段（10月份）和脱锻炼阶段（3月份）分别取样进行EIS和EL测定。结果表明,EIS法胞外电阻率（re）与EL法测定的樟子松抗寒性相关性较高（R2=0.97）,但比EL法求出的抗寒性高。针叶的细胞膜时间恒量（τm）和茎的弛豫时间（τ1）随冷冻温度变化与re表现相似的S曲线,相关分析表明,re（茎和针叶）与τ1（茎）和τm（针叶）的变化有较好的相关性（R2=0.74～0.84）。经Logistic方程拟合,EIS的τm（针叶）和τ1（茎）法与EIS（re）法、EL法测定的樟子松抗寒性相关性也较高（R2=0.88～0.91）,说明针叶τm和茎τ1也可以作为计算抗寒性的参数。另外,8年生樟子松两个发育时期（10月和3月份）未经冷冻的针叶τm与茎的τ2随抗寒性的增强而显著增加,表明不经过冷冻处理样本用τ2（茎）和τm（针叶）估计樟子松抗寒性是很有前途的方法。     

水杨酸对大叶黄杨茎抗寒性和电阻抗图谱参数的影响

在抗寒锻炼前,对当年生大叶黄杨(Euonymus japonicus)扦插苗喷施不同浓度水杨酸,用电阻抗图谱(EIS)法和电导(EL)法估测茎的抗寒性,以探明抗寒锻炼期间水杨酸对大叶黄杨抗寒性和电阻抗图谱参数的影响,找到适合不经冷冻处理估测大叶黄杨茎抗寒性和经冷冻处理后测定其抗寒性的EIS参数。结果表明,水杨酸处理能够提高大叶黄杨茎的抗寒性,最适浓度为5.0mmol.L-1;不经冷冻处理茎的EIS参数电阻率r和r1、胞外电阻率re、胞内电阻率ri、弛豫时间τ、弛豫时间分布系数ψ与EL法测定的抗寒性有较高的相关性(r=0.70~0.87),说明不经冷冻处理样本用以上参数估测大叶黄杨茎抗寒性是可行的,r1为最佳参数;冷冻处理后茎的re、τ、ri求得的抗寒性与EL法测定的抗寒性有较高的相关性(r=0.85~0.94),说明冷冻处理后re、τ、ri可以作为测定大叶黄杨茎抗寒性的参数,re为最佳参数。     

低温锻炼对冰温贮藏牡丹切花抗冷性的影响

以牡丹品种‘玉面桃花’、‘清香白’和‘凤丹’切花为试验材料,测定室温对照(15~18℃保湿贮藏3d,RTS)、低温锻炼[(4±1)℃保湿贮藏3d,CAS]、冰温贮藏[(4±1)℃保湿贮藏3d,然后转入(-4±1)℃保湿贮藏3d,ITS]3种处理的牡丹切花花枝不同器官(花瓣、花药、子房、萼片、叶柄、叶片、茎杆)的过冷点(SCP)和冰点温度(FP),以及花瓣和叶片束缚水与渗透调节物质含量变化,明确低温锻炼对其切花抗冷能力的影响,为牡丹切花储运及销售过程中冰温贮藏温度控制提供参考依据。结果表明:经4℃低温锻炼3d的牡丹切花与室温对照相比,低温锻炼处理使3个牡丹切花不同组织的SCP和FP显著降低,但花瓣和叶片的束缚水、可溶性蛋白质、可溶性糖和脯氨酸含量均得到提高;冷锻炼后转入冰温贮藏处理进一步提高了牡丹切花花瓣和叶片的束缚水和可溶性蛋白质含量。研究发现,4℃低温锻炼显著提高了牡丹切花的抗冷性,使花枝能够更好地适应30~150d长期贮藏的-3~-4℃冰温环境。

甜杨6-磷酸葡萄糖脱氢酶在抗冻性低温诱导中的作用

对-20℃低温锻炼及脱锻炼过程中甜杨(Populus suaveolens)幼苗的G6PDH、SOD和POD活性、MDA含量和半致死温度(LT50)进行了测定和分析.结果发现,低温锻炼在一定程度上提高了幼苗6-磷酸葡萄糖脱氢酶(G6PDH)、SOD和POD活性,降低了MDA含量和幼苗半致死温度(LT50).另外,将幼苗放回常温(脱锻炼)2 d能引起幼苗的G6PDH、SOD和POD活性的显著下降,并使LT50和MDA含量的迅速回升.结果表明,低温锻炼中G6PDH活性的增加有助于SOD和POD活性的提高,进而对幼苗的LT50和MDA含量的降低有明显的促进作用,G6PDH可能参与了SOD和POD活性的调节和抗冻性的低温诱导.     

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.
