动态及对气候变化响应的模拟分析

水分条件不仅影响半干旱区群落的组成, 而且在一定程度上决定了群落的功能。处于不同水分条件生境下群落的优势物种在水分利用和同化物利用效率方面的功能特征会存在差异, 这些差异将导致群落对于气候变化产生不同的响应, 进而影响到景观和区域尺度上对于全球变化下碳动态和格局的分析。该文选取了锡林河流域典型草原区沿水分梯度的4个代表群落, 在野外实验测定并结合长期定位研究成果基础上, 利用BIOME-BGC模型对代表群落的长期净初级生产力(Net primary productivity,NPP)动态进行了模拟和模型验证。 通过分析该地区1953～2005年气候变化趋势, 推测了未来可能的气候变化情景, 进而模拟了气候变化下4个群落长期NPP动态的响应。结果表明,当前气候条件下, 羊草(Leymus chinensis)群落NPP平均值为197.76 gC·m^-2 (SE=7.11), 大针茅(Stipa grandis)群落NPP平均值为198.95 gC·m^-2 (SE=6.41), 贝加尔针茅(Stipa baicalensis)群落NPP平均值为210.41 gC·m^-2(SE=7.87), 克氏针茅(Stipa krylovii)群落NPP平均值为144.92 gC·m^{- 2} (SE=4.64), 4个群落NPP平均值为188.01 gC·m^-2 (SE=3.72); 气候变化情景下, 温度增加下(P0T1),NPP平均下降14.2%,降水增加下(P1T0), NPP平均增加13.2%,温度与降水都增加情景下(P1T1), NPP平均下降2 .7%, 但由于生境水分条件差别和优势物种功能特征差异, 4个群落表现出了增减幅度不同的趋势。对气候因子的敏感性分析及回归分析表明, 降水是该地区NPP最主要的决定因子, 而温度决定作用相对较小,主要通过影响植物的呼吸和水分蒸散等过程影响NPP。在最有可能代表未来气候 变化的温度增加的两种情景下(P0T1、P1T1), NPP均呈下降趋势。群落NPP对气候变化的响应趋势与水分胁迫系数(Water stress index, WSI)、碳胁迫系数(Carbon stress index, CSI)变化密切相关。克氏针茅群落由于所处生境水分条件差,WSI高,对降水的依赖程度最大;贝加尔针茅群落一方面处于较好的水分生境,具有较小的WSI,另一方面,由于具有高碳氮比,维持呼吸消耗的光合产物比例低,CSI远低于其它3个群落, 未来气候变化下, NPP较其它3个群落仍较高。

在塔克拉玛干沙漠南缘策勒绿洲,对人工控制地下水埋深条件下的骆驼刺幼苗地上和地下部分的生长特性进行了一个生长季的调查。结果表明：1)幼苗的株高、分枝数、冠幅与不同地下水埋深之间存在较好的相关性,不同地下水埋深下幼苗叶片数的波动较大;2)生长在距地下水埋深为2.5和2.0 m及1.5和1.0 m条件下的骆驼刺幼苗的基径变化没有显著差异(P>0.05);3)地下水埋深对骆驼刺幼苗根系的垂直根长的影响显著(P<0.01）;4)不同土壤深度的根生物量、根质量密度、比根长、根表面积对地下水埋深变化的响应也有显著差异(P<0.05)。     

遮荫对虎耳草光合生理特性的影响

以盆栽1年的虎耳草为材料,研究遮荫条件下虎耳草叶片抗氧化酶体系活力、叶绿素含量、光合速率以及叶绿素荧光参数的变化,为虎耳草规模化栽培提供理论基础。结果表明：透光率50%条件下,叶绿素含量较高;虎耳草抗氧化酶活力最高;光饱和点（LSP）最大,最大光合速率（A_max）最高,光合速率日变化平均值最高,无“午休”;光系统Ⅱ的实际量子产量(Φ_PSⅡ)、PSⅡ最大量子产量(F_v/F_m)和光化学猝灭系数(qP)最高,非光化学猝灭系数(qN)最低。这表明,虎耳草在怀化地区的最适光照条件是50%左右的透光率。     

运输空间容量对断奶仔猪行为和生产性能的影响

为了解运输对断奶仔猪行为与生产性能的影响，针对北京至邯郸的实际仔猪运输，设计两种运输空间容量(0.09 m ²/头和0.15 m ²/头)，对运输过程断奶仔猪的躺卧、站立行为进行观察，并对运输前后仔猪体重和体表受损程度进行测定，其结果表明：(1)在试验运输条件下，运输温度与仔猪躺卧行为呈明显的负相关(Pearson Correlation Test，R＝-0.324，P<0.01)；(2)两种运输空间容量下，仔猪站立行为(Mann-Whitney U Test，P>0.05)及运输过程中仔猪的活动激烈程度无显著差异(Chi-square Test，P>0.05)，但仔猪的躺卧行为有显著差异(Mann-Whitney U Test，P<0.05)；(3)不同运输时间持续段上，仔猪的站立和躺卧行为所占比例(Friedman Test，P<0.001)和仔猪的活动激烈程度有显著差异(Chi-square Test，P<0.01)；(4)两种运输空间容量下，仔猪体表受损程度(Mann-Whitney U Test，P>0.05)和仔猪体重变化无显著差异(t Test，P>0.05)。这些结果提示，将运输空间容量降低到仔猪趴卧时所需的空间容量，对断奶仔猪的躺卧行为有一定的影响，但对仔猪的站立行为、体表受损及体重变化无显著影响。其原因可能是仔猪趴卧的面积并不是仔猪运输空间的最低阈值，这需要进一步研究证实。     

番茄醇酰基转移酶基因SlAAT1克隆、序列分析和原核表达

酯类物质是许多果实香气的主要成分。醇酰基转移酶(AATs)是酯类化合物合成的关键酶。本研究通过反转录PCR,从番茄的成熟果实中克隆了SlAAT1基因(GenBank登录号为JQ070977),其编码一个含有442个氨基酸残基的蛋白,含有醇酰转移酶BAHD家族的H-x-x-x-D和DFGWG保守基序。系统进化分析表明,SlAAT1与苹果MpAAT1,山字草的BEBT及烟草Hsr201等聚在同一分支,进化关系较近。SDS-PAGE电泳分析表明,转化SlAAT1基因的大肠杆菌BL21(DE3)在22℃、0.8 mmol·L^-1 IPTG条件下可获得大量的可溶性目标蛋白。同时,纯化的SlAAT1大肠杆菌重组蛋白的体外酶活性分析表明了SlAAT1重组蛋白具有醇酰基转移酶活性,可能参与了酯类挥发性成分的合成。     

自然种群唐鱼的耳石、日龄与生长

为了解唐鱼自然种群的年龄结构和生长特征,根据耳石结构于2005年6月—2006年4月每2个月1次对栖息于从化市鹿子田附近自然水体唐鱼的日龄组成进行了调查。2005年6月采集到的唐鱼日龄集中在40～70 d,8月和10月唐鱼种群既有较大个体,也有孵出不久的仔鱼,日龄分布在10～130 d。2005年12月和2006年2月大部分唐鱼日龄在50 d以上,2006年4月大部分唐鱼日龄则在50 d以下。与人工养殖的唐鱼相比,自然种群唐鱼耳石生长轮的清晰度和对比度高,但生长轮宽度规则性较低。自然种群唐鱼的耳石长径与体长呈显著的线性关系,与体质量呈显著的幂函数关系。自然种群唐鱼的生长符合幂函数方程,体长(L,mm)、体质量(M,mg)与日龄(D,d)的回归关系分别为L=1.4685D^0.5824(r=0.9081,P<0.001,n=266)和M=0.0048D^2.0122(r=0.8844,P<0.001,n=266)。该生长方程反映了自然种群唐鱼早期的生长。8—10月唐鱼种群年龄结构最为复杂,根据其年龄结构的季节变化可以推测自然条件下唐鱼的繁殖期为3—12月。     

菲菊头蝠的下丘神经元基本声反应特性

自由声场刺激条件下，采用单单位胞外微电极记录方法，研究了一种未被研究过的恒频/调频(CF/FM)蝙蝠——菲菊头蝠(Rhinolophus pusillus)的下丘神经元基本声反应特性，其结果发现，在所得的110个下丘神经元中，发放类型包括相位型(54.5%)、紧张型(25.5%)、持续型(7.3%)、梳齿型(7.3%)和暂停型(5.4%)等5种类型。记录深度在208～1 855(829.0±328.1)μm之间，最佳频率在16.7～75.6(38.9±15.7)kHz之间，最小阈值在5～74(34.7±13.6)dB SPL之间，阈上10 dB SPL潜伏期在5.0～27.5(15.2±3.9)ms之间。最佳频率随记录深度的增加而增大(r=0.957 8，P<0.001)；记录的54个频率调谐曲线(FTCs)均为开放型，其中52个为单峰型，2个为双峰型。52个单峰型FTC的Q_10-dB值介于1.56～31.61之间，并且大部分是狭窄型(Q _10-dB值>5)，占69.2%(36/52)，少部分为宽阔型(Q _10-dB值<5)，占30.8%(16/52)。2个双峰型神经元FTC在低频处为宽阔型，高频处为狭窄型，Q _10-dB值分别为1.95、8和2.89、6.51。共获得34个神经元的强度－发放率函数(RIFs)，可分为单调型、非单调型和饱和型。结合先前所研究的FM蝙蝠——普通伏翼蝠(Pipistrellus abramus)下丘神经元的基本声反应特性，比较分析了CF/FM蝙蝠与FM蝙蝠下丘神经元的声反应差异及其行为学意义。     

外源NO对盐胁迫下黑麦草幼苗活性氧代谢、多胺含量和光合作用的影响

采用溶液培养法研究了外源一氧化氮(nitric oxide,NO)供体硝普钠(sodium nitroprusside,SNP)对100 mmol·L^-1 NaCl胁迫下黑麦草幼苗生长、活性氧代谢、多胺含量和光合作用的影响。结果表明,50 μmol·L^-1 SNP显著提高盐胁迫下黑麦草幼苗叶片的超氧化物歧化酶(SOD)、过氧化物酶(POD)和抗坏血酸过氧化物酶(APX)活性及谷胱甘肽(GSH)、精胺(Spm)、亚精胺(Spd)含量和(Spm+Spd)/Put比值,降低了腐胺(Put)、超氧阴离子(O^—·₂)、H₂O₂和丙二醛(MDA)含量,使幼苗叶片叶绿素和类胡萝卜素含量、净光合速率(P_n)和气孔导度(G_s)升高,胞间CO₂浓度(C_i)下降,相对生长量增加。叶绿素荧光动力学资料显示,SNP处理降低盐胁迫下黑麦草叶片的初始荧光(F₀),表明它对光合膜系统具有保护效应。SNP处理不仅提高了盐胁迫下叶片的最大荧光(F_m)、PSⅡ潜在光化学效率(F_v/F₀)和PSⅡ最大光化学效率(F_v/F_m),而且提高了PSⅡ实际光化学效率(Φ_PSⅡ)、光化学荧光猝灭系数(q_P)、表观光合电子传递速率(ETR)和光化学速率(PCR),降低了非光化学荧光猝灭系数(NPQ)和天线热耗散(D),而1 mmol·L^-1 NO清除剂PTIO和0.5 μmol·L^-1 NaNO₂处理(对照)则无此效应。由此表明,外源NO可能通过提高植株的抗氧化能力及光能的捕获与转换而增强盐胁迫下黑麦草叶片的光合能力,从而缓解盐胁迫对幼苗生长的抑制作用。     

C的海拔响应及其机理

以分布于祁连山北麓中段的两种优势乔木祁连圆柏(Sabina przewalskii)和青海云杉(Picea crassifolia)为研究对象, 分析了高山乔木叶片δ¹³C值对海拔(2 600–3 600 m)、土壤含水量和叶片含水量、叶片碳氮含量的响应及其机理。结果表明, 这两种乔木叶片δ¹³C值均随海拔升高呈增重趋势, 与海拔呈显著正相关关系(p < 0.000 1)。海拔2 600–3 600 m阳坡树种祁连圆柏叶片的δ¹³C值显著高于同海拔梯度阴坡树种青海云杉。祁连圆柏和青海云杉叶片的δ¹³C值均与年平均气温呈显著负相关关系(p < 0.000 1), 与年平均降水量呈显著正相关关系(p < 0.000 1)。祁连圆柏叶片δ¹³C值与土壤含水量(p < 0.000 1)、叶片含水量(p = 0.01)和叶片碳氮比(C/N) (p < 0.000 1)呈显著正相关关系, 与叶片全氮呈显著负相关关系(p < 0.000 1)。而青海云杉叶片δ¹³C值与土壤含水量、叶片全氮、叶片碳氮比和叶片含水量不相关。说明海拔变化引起的水热条件的改变, 尤其是温度变化对高山乔木叶片碳同位素分馏起主要作用, 但各个因子综合对高山植物叶片碳同位素分馏的作用机制可能比较复杂, 需进一步深入研究。

狭基巢蕨叶表皮的结构和气孔器发育的观察

狭基巢蕨Ｎｅｏｔｏｐｔｅｒｉｓａｎｔｒｏｐｈｙｏｉｄｅｓ（Ｃｈｒｉｓｔ）Ｃｈｉｎｇ叶片的上表皮无气孔器,仅具表皮细胞,下表皮由表皮细胞和气孔器组成,气孔指数为２．５。上下表皮细胞和气孔器的细胞中均含有叶绿体。每个气孔器由２个肾形的保卫细胞和２～６个副卫细胞组成,其中以３个和４个副卫细胞的占绝大多数（３细胞的占４５．１％,４细胞的占４３．５％）。从发育上看,气孔器原始细胞进行２次分裂,产生２个保卫细胞和１个同源的副卫细胞。气孔器的发育过程大体可分为４个时期：（１）气孔器原始细胞的分化和分裂期;（２）保卫细胞母细胞成熟期;（３）保卫细胞母细胞分裂和气孔器幼期;（４）气孔器成熟期。狭基巢蕨的气孔器属于中周型     

Viability of spores after repeate freezing and thawing shocks

Survival of spores of the fungus Rhizopus nigricans after repeated freezing and thawing was investigated. The cooling rate was 10(4) degrees C/min. Dry spores were fully inactive after 32 repeated shocks. About one-half of spores were killed after 8 repetitions. The water content did not change the resistance, swollen spores reacted to shocks much like dry ones. The sensitivity of spores to freezing-thawing shocks increased considerably when the spores changed from the dormant to the active state. Already after a 30 min cultivation of spores in the nutrient medium two freezing and thawings were sufficient for inactivation of 60% spores. After a 90 min cultivation one freezing and one thawing were sufficient to inactivate practically all spores.     

Localization of the Cortex Lytic Enzyme CwlJ in Spores of Bacillus subtilis

The enzyme CwlJ is involved in the depolymerization of cortex peptidoglycan during germination of spores of Bacillus subtilis. CwlJ with a C-terminal His tag was functional and was extracted from spores by procedures that remove spore coat proteins. However, this CwlJ was not extracted from disrupted spores by dilute buffer, high salt concentrations, Triton X-100, Ca(2+)-dipicolinic acid, dithiothreitol, or peptidoglycan digestion, disappeared during spore germination, and was not present in cotE spores in which the spore coat is aberrant. These findings indicate the following: (i) the reason decoated and cotE spores germinate poorly with dipicolinic acid is the absence of CwlJ from these spores; and (ii) CwlJ is located in the spore coat, presumably tightly associated with one or more other coat proteins.     

Antisense-RNA-mediated decreased synthesis of small, acid-soluble spore proteins leads to decreased resistance of clostridium perfringens spores to moist heat and UV radiation

Previous work has suggested that a group of alpha/beta-type small, acid-soluble spore proteins (SASP) is involved in the resistance of Clostridium perfringens spores to moist heat. However, this suggestion is based on the analysis of C. perfringens spores lacking only one of the three genes encoding alpha/beta-type SASP in this organism. We have now used antisense RNA to decrease levels of alpha/beta-type SASP in C. perfringens spores by approximately 90%. These spores had significantly reduced resistance to both moist heat and UV radiation but not to dry heat. These results clearly demonstrate the important role of alpha/beta-type SASP in the resistance of C. perfringens spores.     

氮、硅限制对赤潮藻扁面角毛藻休眠孢子形成的影响

休眠孢子的形成对于赤潮藻种群的保存、延续以及分布扩散等均具有重要的意义。通过单因子营养限制研究氮、硅对赤潮藻扁面角毛藻（Chaetoceros compressus）休眠孢子形成的影响,结果表明：培养基中氮的初始浓度对休眠孢子的出现时间有一定影响。氮的初始浓度越低,休眠孢子出现的时间越早：反之,氮的初始浓度越高,休眠孢子出现的时间越晚。氮缺乏是硅藻形成休眠孢子的必需条件之一,当培养基中氮含量低于10μmol·L^-1时,扁面角毛藻可以形成休眠孢子。氮缺乏诱发的休眠孢子的形成需要大量的硅,当培养基中硅含量低于23μmol·L^-1时,即使氮缺乏,扁面角毛藻也几乎不再继续形成休眠孢子。这说明硅藻休眠孢子的形成不仅受氮浓度的影响,还与硅浓度有关。     

Studies on Spore Morphology of Some Chinese Sphagnum L

The spores of 5 species and 1 subspecies of Sphagnum in China were examined under LM and SEM, and one of them under TEM. All of the above spores are radial symmetrical, tetrahedral, rounded-triangular in polar view and 36.1-55.7 μm in diameter. Among them, the size of the spores of S. cuspidatum is the largest. Trilete is distinct, narrow and slightly curved, ca. 1/3-1/2 of the spore radius, margo very distinct under SEM, perine with gemmae and verrucae. The sporoderm of Sphagnum contains perine, exine and intine. On the basis of spore morphology, the point of view that Sphagnum is a primitive genus in mosses is supported. In sporo-pollen analysis the spores of Sphagnum are easily confused with some spores of ferns.     

Base-change mutations induced by various treatments of Bacillus subtilis spores with and without DNA protective small,acid-soluble spore proteins

Previous work has shown that spores of wild-type Bacillus subtilis are more resistant to killing by dry and wet heat, low vacuum lyophilization and hydrogen peroxide than are spores lacking the majority of their DNA protective alpha/beta-type small, acid-soluble spore proteins (SASP) (termed alpha(-)beta(-) spores). These four treatments kill alpha(-)beta(-) spores in large part by DNA damage with accompanying mutagenesis, but only dry heat kills wild-type spores by DNA damage and mutagenesis. DNA sequence analysis of nalidixic acid-resistant (nal(r)) mutants generated by these treatments has now shown that the nal(r) mutations are base changes in the gyrA gene that encodes one subunit of DNA gyrase. Analysis of the DNA sequence of the gyrA gene in a large number of nal(r) mutants also indicates that: (1) base changes induced by hydrogen peroxide and wet heat in alpha(-)beta(-) spores are similar to those in spontaneous nal(r) mutants with only a few notable differences; (2) base changes induced by dry heat in wild-type spores and low vacuum lyophilization of alpha(-)beta(-) spores are similar, and include a high level of a tandem base change seen previously only in spores treated with very high vacuum and (3) base changes induced by lyophilization and dry heat are very different from those in spontaneous mutants in wild-type and alpha(-)beta(-) spores, which exhibit only one significant difference. While the initial DNA damage generated in spores by dry heat, lyophilization or high vacuum is almost certainly different than that generated by hydrogen peroxide or wet heat, the precise nature of the DNA damage remains to be determined.     

Effect of a small, acid-soluble spore protein from Clostridium perfringens on the resistance properties of Bacillus subtilis spores

Alpha/beta-type small, acid-soluble spore proteins (SASP) are essential for the resistance of DNA in spores of Bacillus species to damage. An alpha/beta-type SASP, Ssp2, from Clostridium perfringens was expressed at significant levels in B. subtilis spores lacking one or both major alpha/beta-type SASP (alpha- and alpha- beta- strains, respectively). Ssp2 restored some of the resistance of alpha- beta- spores to UV and nitrous acid and of alpha- spores to dry heat. Ssp2 also restored much of the resistance of alpha- spores to nitrous acid and restored full resistance of alpha- spores to UV and moist heat. These results further indicate the interchangeability of alpha/beta-type SASP in DNA protection in spores.     

Trehalose metabolism in dormant and activated spores of Phycomyces blakesleeanus Burgeff

Evidence is obtained for the existence of two different localizations of trehalase (,-trehalose glucohydrolase, EC 3.2.1.28) in Phycomyces spores: one inside the cell, and one in the periplasmic region. The latter enzyme is sensitive to 0.1 mol l^-1 HCl treatment and its activity can be regulated by external pH changes. The periplasmic form of the enzyme is involved in the metabolism of added labelled trehalose. This sugar is hydrolyzed externally to glucose which is found mainly in the incubation medium and which is partly absorbed by the spores. During incubation trehalose leaks out from both dormant and activated spores and is subsequently hydrolyzed to glucose. The intracellular trehalase is probably involved in the breakdown of endogenous trehalose in spores. After heat activation the hydrolysis of endogenous trehalose is stimulated even without an important increase in activity of intracellular trehalase. Additional treatments which break dormancy of spores without a significant activation of trehalase are the following: heating of HCl-treated spores and treatment of spores with reducing substances (e.g. Na₂S₂O₄ and NaHSO₃).
