UV—B辐射伤害是导致小麦光合效率降低的环境因素之一。于2007年5月2日-6月5日,在河南新乡地区,研究了叶面喷施芦荟蒽醌类物质对冬小麦灌浆期旗叶光合速率、光呼吸速率、叶绿素含量、丙二醛含量和产量等的影响,旨在探索预防UV辐射伤害的新途径。结果表明：在灌浆期用浓度为1和5mg·L^-1的芦荟蒽醌类物质喷施小麦,光合作用速率分别提高了38．03％和39．73％;叶绿素含量分别提高了3．53％和3．83％,丙二醛含量分别降低了11％和23％;蒽醌类物质能够吸收太阳中的紫外线,并将紫外线转换成能促进光合作用的蓝光或黄光;芦荟蒽醌类物质能促进小麦光合作用效率,减轻紫外线对小麦的损伤;喷施合适浓度的芦荟蒽醌类物质能够提高小麦产量。     

增强UV-B辐射对芦荟蒽醌类物质含量和超微结构的影响

以库拉索芦荟为试验材料,采用透射电子显微镜及HPLC技术,研究了增强UV-B辐射对芦荟的超微结构和蒽醌类物质的影响.结果显示：增强UV-B辐射20 d,每天处理6 h,芦荟叶中总蒽醌、芦荟素、芦荟大黄素的含量分别增加了31.8%、11.3%和22.0%;叶绿体被膜有轻微破损,其他细胞器结构没有明显变化.说明增强UV-B辐射能促进蒽醌类物质的积累,但对细胞超微结构影响不大.     

增强UV-B辐射对3种芦荟蒽醌类物质含量的影响

以中华芦荟、库拉索芦荟和木立芦荟为试验材料,采用HPLC技术,研究了增强UV-B辐射对3种芦荟叶片中主要药用成分总蒽醌、芦荟素和芦荟大黄素含量的影响。结果显示:增强UV-B辐射20 d,每天处理6 h,库拉索芦荟和木立芦荟叶中总蒽醌、芦荟素、芦荟大黄素的含量增加,叶提取物中出峰数量增多,总峰面积增大;而中华芦荟中蒽醌类物质含量显著降低,叶提取物中出峰数量减少,总峰面积减少。研究表明,增强UV-B辐射能刺激库拉索芦荟和木立芦荟叶片中蒽醌类物质的积累和新物质的合成,而不利于中华芦荟蒽醌类物质的积累。     

不同光照条件下外源水杨酸对浒苔响应紫外辐射胁迫的影响

为研究不同光照条件下,外源水杨酸(SA)和紫外辐射(UV)对海洋绿藻浒苔的复合效应,在两个光照强度(高光:160 μmol·m^-2·s^-1;低光:70 μmol·m^-2·s^-1)条件下,设置对照(CK)、SA、UV及UV+SA处理(UV=3.2 W·m^-2、SA=10 μg·mL^-1),处理3 d后测定浒苔生长、叶绿素荧光参数、光合放氧速率、超氧化物歧化酶活性、可溶性糖和可溶性蛋白含量等的变化,探讨光照强度、UV及SA的复合效应.结果表明: 低光无UV条件下,SA会促进浒苔生长,降低浒苔叶绿素a(Chl a)和可溶性蛋白含量;高光无UV条件下, SA会抑制其生长,但显著提高了Chl a含量、呼吸速率、光合放氧速率、可溶性糖和可溶性蛋白含量;高光和UV条件下, UV+SA显著促进浒苔生长,提高Chl a和可溶性糖含量;低光和UV条件下,与UV相比,UV+SA提高了浒苔最大光化学效率(F_v/F_m)和可溶性蛋白含量,涨幅分别为139.8%和32.2%.外源SA的加入在一定程度上缓解了UV对浒苔的胁迫作用,且在高光条件下的效果更为显著.

外源NO对UV-B胁迫下红豆杉抗氧化系统的影响

为探讨一氧化氮(nitric oxide,NO)对紫外线-B( UV-B)辐射胁迫下植物抗氧化系统的影响,以盆栽5年生南方红豆杉(Taxus chinensis var.mairei)幼苗为材料,硝普钠(sodium nitroprusside,SNP)为外源NO供体,设置CK(对照)、SNP(+0.1 mmol·L-1SNP)、UV-B(+4.22 kJ·m-2·d-1 UV-B)及UV-B+ SNP(+0.1 mmol·L-1 SNP+4.22 kJ·m-2·d-1UV-B)4个处理,研究外源NO对UV-B胁迫下南方红豆杉幼苗针叶过氧化氢(H2O2)含量、脂质过氧化程度及抗氧化物质含量的影响.结果表明:UV-B胁迫显著提高了南方红豆杉针叶H2O2及MDA含量(P＜0.05),施加外源NO降低UV-B胁迫下针叶H2O2及MDA含量,提高紫杉醇、类黄酮及类胡萝卜素等抗氧化物质含量(P＜0.05);各处理对抗氧化酶活性影响不同,SNP处理显著提高针叶中CAT和POD活性(P＜0.05),UV-B和SNP+UV-B处理均提高针叶中POD活性,降低CAT活性和APX活性(P＜0.05).本研究证实,外源NO可提高UV-B胁迫下植物抗氧化酶活性和抗氧化物质含量,降低其H2O2含量及脂质过氧化程度,从而在一定程度上缓解UV-B胁迫对植物的伤害.     

芦荟属植物叶内蒽醌类物质的分布与其化学防御的关系

芦荟属植物是一类生长在干旱或半干旱沙漠环境的肉质植物,木立芦荟和海藻芦荟的肉质叶的植物研究结果表明,叶内含高浓度的芦荟素,高那特芦荟素,芦荟苦素和芦荟宁等蒽醌类物质,其中,海莱芦荟整叶的蒽醌类物质总含量占其泌出物干重的44．89％。两种芦荟叶内蒽醌类物质的分布有共同的规律,即幼叶的含量高于老叶;叶上部的含量高于中,基部,叶缘则高于叶的中央。但由于木立芦荟和海莱芦荟的个体形态不同,蒽醌类物质的分布在种间还存在各自的特点,根据实验结果推测,蒽醌类物质在芦荟属植物体内的累积和分布与其化学防御机制有关。     

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.
