钙离子浓度对暗适应时的中华绒螯蟹光感受器超微结构的影响

用透射电镜研究了暗适应时中华绒螯蟹的光感受器超微结构与外界钙离子浓度的关系,结果显示出与培育在生理溶液中的光感受器相比,细胞外钙离子浓度升高,使得感杆束的直径急剧缩小,感杆束周围胞质增厚,胞饮泡增加,膜下猪泡囊极度减小。胞质中多囊体的数量和直径减小,而板模体和溶酶体的数量增加,同时细胞内的色素颗粒增多。分布在小网膜细胞的远端。细胞的结构表现为类似光适应状态,与之相反,细胞外钙离子浓度降低时小眼的感     

不同钙离子浓度对日本沼虾感光器细胞超微结构的影响

为了进一步研究细胞外钙离子浓度变化对甲壳动物感光细胞超微结构的影响,应用透射电子显微镜显示了日本沼虾感光细胞,在暗适应时高钙离子浓度中温育的感光器细胞的感杆束直径下降,微绒毛排列零乱;多囊体、板膜体数量增加;色素颗粒散布在细胞质中,呈现出光适应的结构特征。而温育在低钙离子溶液和生理溶液中的感光器细胞结构相同,呈现出暗适应的结构特征。另外,细胞器中储存的钙离子也受细胞外钙离子浓度的影响,在高钙离子溶液中温育后细胞器储存的钙离子量增加,膜下储泡囊、多囊体、线粒体、色素颗粒等细胞器中的焦锑酸钙结晶颗粒比温育在低钙溶液中的细胞明显增多。结果显示,细胞外钙离子浓度变化引起细胞内钙离子浓度变化,从而影响感光器细胞的结构而影响其生理功能。     

纤毛虫念珠异列虫射出胞器的超微结构观察

应用扫描电镜术和透射电镜术显示,纤毛虫念珠异列虫(Anteholosticha monilata)的射出胞器早期发生在细胞质深处,附近有不同类型的囊泡结构。成熟后射出胞器向表膜迁移,结构由不同电子密度片层的体部、结晶状的中心轴杆部和多层膜的帽部组成。受外界刺激时胞器冲破皮层射出,形态呈"蘑菇"状。据上述观察结果推测:该射出胞器具有防御作用,它可能起源于高尔基体活动产生的小泡;在亲缘关系较近的纤毛虫中,其射出胞器可能具有相似的分化特征。     

不同光质下生长的满江红叶绿体和共生者满江红鱼腥藻的吸收光谱和荧光光谱的研究

测定了不同光质下培养的满江红的叶绿体和满江红鱼腥藻的吸收光谱和荧光光谱。吸收光谱表明:对于前者叶绿体,红光和蓝光比白光和绿光更有利于Chl a的形成。对于后者光对其色素的影响比叶绿体更为敏感。在白光下其胆藻素含量最高,在红光下P_(330)含量最高,依次为蓝光、白光、绿光;而类胡萝卜素相对稳定。荧光发射光谱表明:红光下培养的满江红的叶绿体PS Ⅱ荧光发射最强,蓝光、白光、绿光依次减弱。这与我们在电镜下观察到叶绿体膜垛叠的结果是一致的。而在满江红鱼腥藻中,不同光质下的差异与叶绿体不同。从荧光光谱和类囊体膜垛叠的分析表明,我们从另一方面支持了Arntzen等(1977)关于系统Ⅱ颗粒主要分布在基粒膜上的观点。     

不同波长光照对罗汉果光合及生长影响

罗汉果试管苗在不同波长的LED(半导体)蓝(475±5nm)、黄(585±5nm)、红(660±5nm)及普通日光灯下培养,25d后观测发现,其外观的优劣依次为:蓝光>白光>红光>黄光;植株重量:蓝光>红光>黄光>白光;蓝光和白光下的植株叶大、色绿,植株矮壮,侧芽多;红光和黄光下的植株叶小、色黄绿,植株高、细、弯曲、节间长。测定罗汉果成熟叶片的吸收光谱,发现在波长380~500nm及660~680nm处有较强吸收。不同的光质下测定成熟叶片光合速率,大小依次为:红光>蓝光>白光>黄光。上述的各项试验表明,蓝光对罗汉果幼苗生长发育最好;红光和蓝光为成熟叶片光合作用的最佳光源。     

新型光源LED辐射的不同光质配比光对菊花组培苗生长的影响

采用新型光源LED辐射的红光[R,(658±20)nm]、远红光[Fr.(715±20)nm]和蓝光[B,(460±20)nm],观测不同红光/远红光(R/Fr)和红光/蓝光(R/B)配比光对菊花组培苗生长的影响.试验结果表明:红光处理的植株最高,根较长.远红光和蓝光处理的植株矮小,根短细.类胡萝卜素含量与R/Fr比率呈负相关,叶绿素a、叶绿素b、叶绿素(a b)、类胡萝卜素含量与R/B比率也呈负相关.叶绿素a/b比值与R/Fr和R/B比率呈正相关.红光有利于可溶性糖和淀粉的积累,降低色素含量.而蓝光能够逆转此效应,可促进色素和可溶性蛋白的合成.红光和蓝光组合处理的叶中可溶性糖和淀粉含量以及根系活力均高于白光处理的,尤以高R/B配比光处理的组培苗生长健壮,移栽成活率最高.

运用激光扫描共聚焦显微技术研究大草履虫口胞器与消化胞器

本文利用激光扫描共聚焦显微技术(Laserscanningconfocalmicroscopy,LSCM)对大草履虫(Parameciumcaudatum)口胞器及消化胞器进行了再观察,通过连续断层扫描和三维重建技术,清晰地显示出草履虫口胞器中前庭、口腔、内口膜、四分膜、背咽膜、腹咽膜等结构,它们的位置和形态与前人的工作结果基本一致,并给出口胞器结构的三维立体构象。观察了虫体内的食物泡及其形成过程。看到胞咽在摄食并形成食物泡时其直径变大的现象,表明Allen(1974)有关消化后期食物泡产生的微小泡回到胞咽处与胞咽膜融合的时间应该是在胞咽直径扩大时,此时微小泡参与到胞咽膜上,进而再参与到新食物泡膜的形成过程中,由此完成膜的循环再利用。在样品制备中采用KMnO4替代了免疫荧光技术中传统的固定剂,固定效果很好,清楚地显示了胞咽膜、纤毛以及食物泡膜的结构

利用发光二极管(LED)作为光源,以冷百荧光灯光作为对照,研究不同光质[红光637 nm、绿光529 nm、蓝光453 nm、白光(400—700)nm]对念珠藻葛仙米生长和生理生化特性的影响。结果表明:在培养前期,红光促进藻蓝蛋白合成,而藻红蛋白合成受抑制;蓝光和绿光则促进藻蓝蛋白合成。在培养后期,红光处理有利于叶绿素a和类胡萝卜素积累,其含量分别达到干重的1.33%和0.24%;绿光、白光和冷白荧光培养物的相应色素的含量均约占1.0%和0.16%;蓝光培养物的相应色素含量分别仅为0.45%和0.11%。红光培养物的氨基酸含量达干重的23.1%,是对照的1.58倍。除蓝光外其他光质对还原糖的含量影响无显著差异。在培养过程中LED白光和冷白荧光培养物的平均相对生长速率分别约为其他色光培养物的1.3和1.5倍。     

Adaptive Mechanisms in the compound eye of Squilla mantis (Crustacea,Stomatopoda)

Summary Light and dark adaptations were studied in the eye of Squilla mantis. Light adaptation is characterized by (1) a proximal shift of the distal pigment sheath (DPS) surrounding the proximal portion of the crystalline cone above its zone of contact with the rhabdom; (2) flattening of the distal pigment sheath; (3) lengthening of the crystalline cone correlated with shortening of the rhabdom; (4) a migration of screening pigment granules in retinula cells in the protoplasmic bridges crossing the perirhabdomal space. In animals kept in constant darkness, longitudinal displacements of the distal pigment sheath were found to be subject to a circadian rhythm characterized by a maximal light adaptation state at about 5 p.m. and a minimal one at 5 a.m. Screening pigment granule translocation in retinula cells does not show such rhythmic activity.Abbreviations a, b maximal incidence angles in L.A., and D.A., respectively - Cc crystalline cone - Dps distal pigment sheath - I extreme incident light beam - Prs perirhabdomal space - Rh rhabdom - Rp reflecting pigment This research has been supported by grant 3.012-76 of the Swiss National Science Foundation     

不同颜色光对野菊花色素溶液稳定性及类胡萝卜素含量的影响

在黑暗（对照）、红光、绿光、蓝光、黄光和白光条件下,对来源于野菊[Dendranthema indicum（Linn．）Des．Moul．]头状花序乙醚提取物的色素溶液中类胡萝卜素含量及色价和色差的变化进行了研究,并对色价和色差与贮藏时间的相关性进行了分析。结果表明：在不同颜色光照条件下,随贮藏时间（0—50d）的延长,溶液中类胡萝卜素含量及412、436和468nm特征波长下溶液的色价均呈逐渐下降的趋势,溶液的色彩参数（L＊、n＊和b＊）则呈现不同的变化规律。贮藏前后类胡萝卜素含量差异极显著（P〈0．01）且与贮藏时间呈显著负相关;在贮藏至50d时,在红光、蓝光、白光、黄光、绿光和黑暗条件下类胡萝卜素含量降幅依次为98．97％、98．33％、95．10％、92．30％、80．38％和17．02％。贮藏10—50d溶液色价均显著小于起始色价（P〈0．05）,其中,在黑暗条件下色价的变化均最小且显著高于其他处理组,而在红光照射下色价降幅最大。在黑暗条件下,溶液亮度增加、色彩变化不明显;而在其他颜色光照条件下,色素溶液均由绿转红、由黄向蓝转变,且与对照相比a＊值显著增大、b＊值显著降低（P〈0．05）,但溶液亮度总体上无显著差异（P〉O．05）。在0—50d的贮藏期内,溶液的色价和色差与储藏时间均呈线形关系,溶液的褪色规律均符合一次降解曲线。研究结果显示：野菊花所含的类胡萝卜素类色素对红光、绿光、蓝光、黄光和白光均较敏感,光照时间越长分解越激烈;在实际应用过程中这类色素应避光保存。     

Changes in volume of the rhabdom in the compound eye of Aedes aegypti L.

The volume of the rhabdom in compound eyes of mosquitoes decreases upon illumination. This decrease is probably mediated by a bleaching of the visual pigment, since blue light is most effective in producing the change and red light is least effective. The reduction in rhabdom volume appears to be a result of rhabdomal membrane loss to coated vesicles and multivesicular bodies. These organelles were seen most frequently in blue adapted eyes, markedly less frequently in red adapted eyes, and only rarely in dark adapted eyes.     

THE MICROSTRUCTURE OF THE COMPOUND EYES OF INSECTS

The apposition eyes of two diurnal insects, Sarcophaga bullata (Diptera) and Anax junius (Odonata), have been examined with the electron microscope. In the latter case only the rhabdom is described. The rhabdom of the fly consists of a central matrix and seven rhabdomeres, one for each retinula cell. The rhabdomeres show an ordered internal structure built up of transverse tubes, hexagonal in cross-section. These slender compartments running the width of the rhabdomere are 370 A in diameter. After fixation with osmium tetroxide the walls of the compartments are more electron dense than the interiors. The retinula cells contain mitochondria, and pigment granules smaller than those found in the pigment cells. These granules tend to cluster close behind the membranes which separate the retinula cells from their rhabdomeres. The rhabdom of the dragonfly is a single structure which appears to be composed of three fused "rhabdomeres," each similar to a rhabdomere of Sarcophaga. Reasons are given for believing that the rhabdom may be the site of photoreception, as well as the organ for analyzing plane-polarized light, as suggested by other workers.     

Changes in retinal fine structure induced in the crab Libinia by light and dark adaptation

Summary The cytological influence of light and dark adaptation (LA and DA) on the retinular cells of the spider crab Libinia emarginata has been studied by light and electron microscopy in four adaptive states: 17 hours darkness, 5 hours darkness, 5 hours diffuse light and 17 hours diffuse light. The rhabdom's fine structure is typical of decapods but its dual overall form and position mingle certain features of both apposition and superposition compound eye types. Distal and proximal retinal pigments both showed adaptive migration, but the distal pigment cells moved over a restricted range, and DA separated the retinular cell pigment granules into two groups, perinuclear and basilar.In the rhabdom no changes in its position, dimensions or microvillus fine structure were observed with LA or DA. But at the base of the rhabdom microvilli the rate of pinocytosis was strongly affected by the eye's adaptive state, being lowest after 17 hours DA and greatest after 17 hours LA; the wall of the 0.1 microvesicles so formed, looked like the membrane of the rhabdom microvillus and they were the same size as the vesicles in multivesicular bodies and in vesicular lamellar bodies.Three categories of complex cytoplasmic particles about 1 in diameter (multivesicular bodies, vesicular lamellar bodies and purely lamellar bodies) were all increased in number by decreased DA and by increased LA; similar quantitative effects occurred in the endoplasmic reticulum and in the ribosomes.The pinocytotic vesicles and the complex cytoplasmic bodies may represent part of an intracellular system to dispose of rhabdom metabolites whose production was initiated or increased by light absorption.Cytoplasmic and perirhabdomal vacuoles mainly distal in location, were also affected by light, but inversely; their maximal extent occurred after 17 hours DA; less DA or any LA significantly decreased their presence and aggregation.The data reported are of interest not only because they correlate retinal fine structure with the metabolism of vision but also because they provide a new and specific tool for distinguishing active from inactive neurosensory cells in the optic pathway.This research was initiated with the aid of U.S. Public Health Service Grant NB-03076 and has been continued with the support of U.S. Air Force Grant AFOSR-1064.

Adams for generously sharing their electron microscopic facilities; they are also grateful to Mrs. Mabelita Campbell for her collaboration on the light microscopy.     

龟纹瓢虫成虫的复眼形态及其显微结构

利用光镜、组织切片法观察了龟纹瓢虫Propylaea japonica(Thunberg)成虫的复眼形态及其显微结构。结果如下:(1)头正前方观,复眼外形似半球,且后方稍向内合拢。每个复眼约包括630个小眼。(2)每个小眼是由1套屈光器(1个角膜和1个晶锥)、6至8个小网膜细胞及其特化产生的视杆和基细胞等几部分组成。晶体周围及小网膜色素细胞内均含有丰富的色素颗粒。(3)小眼整体纵切显示,其上、下段色素颗粒分布相对较多,中段分布较少。(4)明、暗适应状态对小眼的色素颗粒分布有影响,性别对其分布无明显影响。明适应状态下,其色素颗粒较均匀地分布于视杆两侧上下,暗适应状态时色素颗粒则主要分布在视杆部位的上侧,显示其具有一定的重叠眼性质;而在相同的明、暗适应状态下其雌、雄成虫复眼的色素颗粒分布间无明显差异。     

A discussion of light scattering in the Squilla rhabdom

The fine structure of the Squilla ommatidium suggests that elastic scattering of light may occur in the rhabdom. A detailed study of this phenomenon allows us to interpret the movement of the pigment granules of the retinula cells and the corresponding change of the rhabdom shape in light — and dark — adaptation.     

Role de l'intensite lumineuse rouge (630–670 nm) dans le determinisme photoperiodique de la diapause nymphale de Pieris brassicae

In previous communications we have reported the role of red light on the determinism of the pupal diapause of Pieris brassicae (630 to 670 nm, wavelengths corresponding to the maximum of absorption of pterobilin, the blue bile pigment present in the integument and haemolymph).Red light suppresses the diapausing effect of the 9-hr/24-hr photophase of white light (identical energy in both and similar to the energy under natural conditions). The activity of red light in two experimental conditions: 9-hr white light followed by 15 hr of red lights of different intensities, and 9-hr red lights of different intensities followed by 15 hr darkness is examined. The photoperiodic determinism of pupal diapause is discussed.
