咖啡多胚现象与多胚苗形态发育的研究

通过目测筛选出咖啡多胚豆(种子),对其进行离体胚培养获得幼小植株,观察分析了多胚及其幼苗的形态发育特征。结果表明,不同倍性咖啡种质均存在多胚现象,不同材料的双胚率不同(变幅在1.06‰ ~ 4.46‰）,其中四倍体材料普遍比二倍体的高。多胚豆中胚的形态和着生位置各异。多胚再生植株生长发育特点各不相同,一般大胚再生植株生长发育正常;小胚植株长势弱,出现畸形植株及生长过程中夭亡等现象。同一咖啡豆中远离正常胚位的额外胚可能是由胚囊外的体细胞发育而形成的不定胚。     

多胚水稻胚位与苗位的观察研究

多胚水稻是进行水稻无融合生殖研究的重要材料,通过对4个多胚水稻品系种子胚位及萌发后的苗位观察发现这些品系中存在着多种胚位及苗位类型,其中以双-13的类型最为丰富。认为不定胚在与合子胚共存的情况下难以萌发表达,而只有当合子胚败育时才有可能得以萌发,并且认为反向单苗,侧向单苗及倒序单苗可能起源于不定胚,因而可能成为进行水稻无融合生殖筛选的重要标志。

水稻双胚苗无融合生殖胚胎学研究初报

将子房整体染色透明观察后,通过筛选材料石蜡切片的方法,研究发现水稻双胚苗品系APⅣ中,存在低频率的无融合生殖。开花前珠心细胞特化并分裂发育形成不定胚。随着珠心组织的退化,不定胚长八胚囊腔中,以球形胚形式存在。开花后4天,球形胚开始分化。球形胚在胚囊中可以和合子胚并存,也可以单独存在。但双胚主要来自受精的助细胞或合子胚纵裂。开花后3—4天,在胚乳腔中着色深的球状结构是胚乳部份脱落形成的,不是不定胚。珠孔端反足细胞团不能形成胚。

Polyembryony and twin seedlings in Borassus flabellifer L. (Palmae)

Polyembryony and twin seedlings are noted in Borassus flabellifer L. Both seedlings arising from a seed have an independent hatistorium, cotyledonary sheath, scale leaf and root system. There are instances where twin seedlings are identical in structure and activity; independent plants develop in the same way as normal seedlings. The haustoria of these seedlings are equal in size and activity. Cases are also recorded with disparity in size and activity between twin seedlings. While the haustorium of the bigger seedling is normal, that of the smaller seedling is reduced.     

The Chemical Origin of Free Radicals in Coffee and Other Beverages

Sugars or carbohydrates are identified as the source of free radicals in coffees, ersatz coffees, a number of other food flavouring and colouring agents formed by processes involving heating, and in beers and stouts. The radicals are not derived from phenolic constituents, in contrast to those in wine, and are unlikely to be due solely to the occurrence of Maillard reactions.     

Polyembryony in Melastomataceae from Brazilian Cerrado: multiple embryos in a small world

Polyembryony has been commonly associated with apomixis in the angiosperms and seems to be more common than expected, even in biomes where sexual reproduction processes are predominant. Recent studies in Cerrado, the Neotropical savannas of Central Brazil, showed high frequencies of apomixis and polyembryony and indicated these processes as reproductive and evolutionary alternatives for plants in these areas. In this sense, we investigated the occurrence of polyembryony and its relationships with ecological (season and type of dispersal, ploidy, species distribution and breeding system) and taxonomic (tribe) factors in the Melastomataceae, a mostly tropical family already known for its high frequency of apomixis and very common in Cerrado. We collected seeds from 69 populations of 53 species, which were sown in germination chambers. After seed germination, the presence and number of seedlings per seed were evaluated as a method to estimate polyembryony. We encountered 18 species (33.96%) with polyembryony (more than one seedling, or gemellar seedlings, originated per seed) concentrated in species of the tribe Miconieae (64%) and Microlicieae (16.67%), but absent in Melastomeae. Monoembryony was present only in sexual species, while all apomictic species were polyembryonic. In Miconia, the polyembryony was correlated with polyploidy, and monoembryony with diploid species. Polyembryony was more common among species with wide distribution in the Cerrado region, which indicates that the presence of gemellar seedlings is important for establishment and survival of the group in the Cerrado biome.

Prospects of Coffee Leaf against SARS-CoV-2 Infection

In the current climate, many countries are in dire need of effective preventive methods to curb the Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus Type 2 (SARS-CoV-2) pandemic. The purpose of this research is to screen and explore natural plant extracts that have the potential to against SARS-CoV-2 and provide alternative options for SARS-CoV-2 prevention and hand sanitizer or spray-like disinfectants. We first used Spike-ACE2 ELISA and TMPRSS2 fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET) assays to screen extracts from agricultural by-products from Taiwan with the potential to impede SARS-CoV-2 infection. Next, the SARS-CoV-2 pseudo-particles (Vpp) infection assay was tested to validate the effectiveness. We identified an extract from coffee leaf (Coffea Arabica), a natural plant that effectively inhibited wild-type SARS-CoV-2, and five Variants of Concern (Alpha, Beta, Gamma, Delta, and Omicron strain) from entering host cells. In an attempt to apply coffee leaf extract for hand sanitizer or spray-like disinfectants, we designed a skin-like gelatin membrane experiment. We showed that the high concentration of coffee leaf extract on the skin surface could block SARS-CoV-2 into cells more potently than 75% Ethanol, a standard disinfectant to inactivate SARS-CoV-2. Finally, LC-HRMS analysis was used to identify compounds such as caffeine, chlorogenic acid (CGA), quinic acid, and mangiferin that are associated with an anti-SARS-CoV-2 activity. Our results demonstrated that coffee leaf extract, an agricultural by-product effectively inhibits SARS-CoV-2 Vpp infection through an ACE2-dependent mechanism and may be utilized to develop products against SARS-CoV-2 infection.
