根瘤菌在大麦和水稻根上形成拟瘤的细胞结构

用3种方法使紫云英根瘤菌(Rhizobium astragali Huikui)、田菁根瘤菌(R.sesbania sp.)分别入侵大麦(hordeum vulgare L.)和水稻(Oryza sativa L.),形成拟瘤状组织。一是用一定磁场强度处理根瘤菌和植物,并接种培养。二是用含有水稻幼苗根提取物的培养基培养根瘤菌,接种水稻。三是重复别人用2,4-D外源激素处理植物,接种根瘤菌。镜检观察,用紫云英根瘤菌接种形成的大麦根拟瘤细胞结构非常精细,保持各种细胞器。有侵入线结构和根瘤菌从侵入线释放。根瘤菌被宿主细胞来源的膜包围,成为拟菌体。这些形态结构与豆科根瘤细胞相似,有共生状态特征,但拟菌体有泡状化现象。田菁根瘤菌入侵水稻根形成的拟瘤,在细胞间隙和细胞内都有细菌分布。受侵染的细胞结构粗糙,根瘤菌裸露,无胞膜包围。用2,4-D处理接种根瘤菌的拟瘤细胞结构也如此,但在维管系统内有大量密集的细菌存在。这种结构完全不同于豆科根瘤细胞结构,细菌与植物细胞的形态学相互关系是一种非共生联合作用。     

绿色荧光蛋白标记下镰刀菌侵染地黄的组织学观察

为分析对地黄有较强致病性的尖孢镰刀菌的侵染机制,本研究采用携带有潮霉素抗性标记的强组成型表达载体pCT74,经PEG-CaCl₂介导的原生质体转化法导入镰刀菌,获得荧光信号强烈的sGFP标记菌株,并采用喷施接种和根部灌根接种。研究发现镰刀菌首先在地黄外部聚集繁殖,并通过伤口或气孔等通道侵入地黄维管组织,后逐渐导致周围海绵组织破裂,进而致使地下根茎逐渐变黑腐烂;由于地黄叶部气孔发达,使得镰刀菌由叶部侵入速度要快于根部灌根接种;不同孢子浓度接种实验表明镰刀菌对寄主的致害程度与其在叶部与根部的接种浓度并不呈相关性。进一步在接种处理后采集地黄叶部、茎部和根部组织提取真菌DNA后进行PCR扩增发现：在根部接种60h后即能检测到镰刀菌的侵入,经84h后侵入到地黄茎部组织,经96h后侵入到地黄叶部组织。该标记菌株可为今后探索地黄连作栽培中真菌病害大规模爆发的根际生物学过程提供研究材料。

福廷瓶头霉与马尾松的共生特征

深色有隔内生真菌（dark septate endophyte,DSE）广泛定殖于植物根系,对促进植物生长、提高植物抗逆能力具重要作用。本研究从马尾松Pinus massoniana根系分离到一株DSE,于无菌条件下研究了此菌与马尾松的共生特征,研究结果表明：基于形态学和分子生物学分析,此菌被鉴定为福廷瓶头霉Phialocephala fortinii,在PDA培养基25℃培养条件下,此菌不产孢,菌丝深色、具隔,最适培养基为PDA。此菌与马尾松根系共生体的形成过程可划分为3个时期,即侵入前期：接种后2d,新生菌丝向马尾松根系定向生长并开始接触根系,但未侵入根系内部;侵入期：接种后4d,菌丝与马尾松根系接触侵入根内并在根系皮层细胞间扩展延伸;形成期：接种后6d,菌丝继续在马尾松根系内扩展并形成富含脂类物质的微菌核。接种福廷瓶头霉显著增加了马尾松生物量的积累（P<0.05）,并影响了其根系发育。接种后,马尾松主根生长受限,侧根生长显著提高（P<0.05）,侧根长度较未接种处理增加了112.87%。被侵染根系的根毛数量减少,并由大量根外菌丝包裹。以上结果对进一步揭示DSE与宿主的共生机理有一定指导意义。     

巴西固氮螺菌Yu62由水稻和烟草根部向茎、叶的迁移运动(英文)

巴西固氮螺菌(Azospirillum brasilence)是重要的植物促生内生菌之一。用gfp基因标记固氮螺菌后接种无菌的水稻和烟草幼苗的根部,限菌培养一定时间后,用共聚焦激光显微镜观察,结果表明:除了根内部有发荧光的螺菌定殖外,螺菌还分布在茎、叶的表皮细胞,皮层细胞和维管系统组织的细胞和细胞间隙。从根、茎、叶器官分离固氮螺菌,都存在有较高的螺菌群体密度。这一结果证明螺菌在植物内存在着从根部向茎、叶顶端的迁移现象。这一发现为研究巴西固氮螺菌在宿主植物体内的迁移运动的机制、与植物细胞间的分子相互作用及其对植物的促生作用奠定了生态学和细胞形态学的基础,也为实际应用提供了进一步的科学依据,具有重要的科学和实践意义。     

粪产碱菌（Alcaligenes faecalis）对稻根氧化还原特性及水稻多元酚和内根际激素水平的影响

联合固氮粪产碱菌结合于水稻根表时能增强水稻根部还原力和稻根超氧化物歧化酶（ＳＯＤ）活性。实验室和田间试验证明粪产碱菌能提高水稻幼苗对高、低温不良环境的抗逆性。经浸种处理的水稻幼苗植株内多元酚含量增加了１２．５％。粪产以菌对接种水稻多元酚抽提物有强烈的趋化性,而该抽提物对粪产碱菌的固氮活性有明显的刺激作用。多元酚抽提物经双向纸层析和薄层层析表明接种诱导了至少一个特征组分含量提高。采用粪产减菌野生型Ａ１５０１（ｎｉｆ＋）和固氮缺陷型Ａ１５０６（Ｎｉｆ－）浸种能改变宿主水稻内源激素水平,提高内根际的ＩＡＡ和Ｚ的含量,促进植株及根系的生长发育,使其侧根和根毛数目明显增多。在根际联合体系形成过程中,多元酚或激素可能充当植物与细菌间相互作用的一类特异信号分子。

濒危药用植物桃儿七根的显微结构及其菌根真菌分布研究

本文研究了桃儿七Sinopodophyllum hexandrum根的显微结构及其真菌分布。结果表明,桃儿七的根为根状茎,节状,不定根形成的须根系发达。根的结构主要由表皮、皮层、维管柱三部分构成,其中,皮层所占比例最大,超过80%。根的木质部有四原型和五原型两种类型,五原型较为常见;四原型的根和五原型的根在皮层细胞形态上存在一定差异。在桃儿七的不定根和其上的侧根观察到真菌菌丝分布,其数量和种类与根的直径有关,在不定根较细(先端)的部位真菌以暗色有隔内生真菌(DSE真菌)为主,侵染率为77.9%;而较粗根中真菌菌丝为无隔菌丝为主,分布很少且仅存在于皮层细胞的一至二层,不侵染皮层深部和维管柱。不定根侧根中真菌以丛枝菌根真菌为主,丛枝菌根常常占据大部分的皮层细胞,侵染率高达90%以上。桃儿七根中没有发现根毛存在,因此,侧根中共生的丛枝菌根真菌可能是桃儿七养分和水分吸收的主要途径。

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.
