角类肥蛛体躯不同部位酯酶同工酶的比较分析

运用聚丙烯酰胺凝胶电泳的方法对角类肥蛛(Lariniodes cornuta)头胸部和腹部的酯酶同工酶酶谱进行了比较分析。结果表明,角类肥蛛的酯酶是单体酶,头胸部和腹部的酯酶酶谱差异显著。腹部的酯酶呈现4个位点:Est-1、Est-2、Est-3、Est-4。Est-1和Est-4位点为纯合基因型,Est-2和Est-3位点为杂合基因型。头胸部的酯酶仅表现出2个位点:Est-2和Est-3,且这2个位点是纯合基因型。不同个体之间头胸部的酯酶没有明显差异,Est-2b和Est-3a可以作为鉴别角类肥蛛的特征酶带;腹部的酯酶则存在明显的个体差异,在Est-2和Est-3位点的基因杂合度为h2=h3=0·4779。由此可见,酯酶同工酶可以作为角类肥蛛遗传变异的分子标记,是研究个体间遗传差异、居群的遗传结构以及种间进化关系的基础。

五唇兰对PEG模拟的干旱胁迫响应研究

为了解干旱对五唇兰(Phalaenopsis pulcherrima)生长的影响,以聚乙二醇(PEG)溶液模拟干旱胁迫,对其叶片的光合色素、渗透调节物质和非结构碳水化合物(NSC)含量变化进行研究。结果表明,随着PEG浓度增加,五唇兰植株含水量和鲜质量逐渐下降,以PEG为13.75%～14.84%时最显著。PEG处理显著降低叶片的叶绿素a和b含量。随着植株含水量的降低,叶片可溶性蛋白、淀粉(St)含量均呈下降趋势,可溶性糖(SS)含量、NSC和SS/St均呈先升后降的趋势。因此,干旱胁迫会影响五唇兰植株的含水量和光合产物的积累;在较低程度干旱胁迫下,可溶性糖在抗旱响应中发挥主要作用;随着干旱胁迫程度加深,五唇兰的生理代谢受到严重影响。

五唇兰未受精胚珠离体培养及雌配子体发育的研究

五唇兰(DoritispulcherrimaLindl.)的胚珠属于倒生型,具薄珠心,两层珠被。胚囊发育类型为双孢子葱型,授粉后约45d形成七细胞八核的成熟胚囊。五唇兰未受精胚珠在离体培养初期对外源激素的依赖性很小,在没有外源激素的培养基上,大孢子母细胞也能经过减数分裂发育为二核胚囊。在培养后期,外源激素对胚囊发育的影响很大。在培养基无外源激素或仅含生长素或细胞分裂素时,雌配子体的发生过程不能顺利完成;在改良VW培养基上添加0.5mg/LBA和0.1mg/LNAA时,形成成熟胚囊。     

海南霸王岭五唇兰两种生态型生态位特征

东亚特有种五唇兰自然状态下存在叶背红色和绿色两种生态型。对海南岛霸王岭地区的五唇兰群落中草本层生态位特征进行测定和分析,探讨两种生态型五唇兰在群落中的地位和作用以及彼此间的竞争关系。结果表明: 狭穗草、叶背红色型五唇兰和毛俭草在该层占据较大的重要值。叶背红色型五唇兰较叶背绿色型具有更广的生态位宽度; 拟金草和叶背红色型五唇兰以相似的生态位宽度值居该层物种生态位宽度的首位。两种生态型五唇兰均与该层其他大部分物种具有较大生态位重叠值,两者间的生态位重叠亦很大。这说明五唇兰对其生境有很好的适应性,两种生态型间可能存在较大的竞争。

Esterase isozyme polymorphism, specific and nonspecific esterase, syngenic lines development and natural occurrence of a thermostable esterase in the tropical silkworm Bombyx mori L

Esterase isozyme polymorphism was documented for digestive juice and haemolymph of the tropical multivoltine silkworm, Bombyx mori L., breed CB5 (GP) and its syngenic lines (CB5Lm^e-1, CB5Lm-2 and CB5Lm-5) using - and β-naphthylacetate separately as nonspecific substrates (Ogita, Z., Kasai, T., 1965. Genetico-biochemical analysis of specific esterases in Musca domestica. Jpn. J. Genet. 40, 173–184). Polymorphism existed in the isozyme pattern of -esterase with two or three bands in digestive juice and three to five bands in haemolymph. No polymorphism was observed in β-esterase isozyme pattern having four bands in digestive juice and two bands in haemolymph. During the course of esterase isozyme studies, the presence of some specific -esterase bands (Est-1, 4 and 5) in haemolymph and β-esterase bands (Est-1, 2 and 3) in digestive juice were observed. But both - and β-esterase bands Est-3 and 4 in digestive juice and Est-2 and 3 in haemolymph were found to be nonspecific. Nonspecific β-esterase band (Est-3) in haemolymph of CB5 (GP) and its syngenic lines withstood a temperature up to 80±1°C for 10 min. No thermostable band was observed in the isozyme zymogram of -esterase in digestive juice and haemolymph or β-esterase in digestive juice. Overall, this study discusses the presence of esterase heterogeneity in the CB5 (GP) genepool, syngenic lines development, occurrence of specific - and β-esterase bands in digestive juice and haemolymph and thermostable β-esterase band Est-3 in haemolymph in tropical silkworm Bombyx mori L.

Genetico-biochemical analysis of specific esterases in Musca domestica. Jpn. J. Genet. 40, 173–184).

The B chromosome system of Scilla autumnalis (Liliaceae): effects at the isozyme level

Supernumerary (B) chromosomes have been studied in a Spanish population of Scilla autumnalis L. (Liliaceae). Out of the 140 individuals analysed, seven had 2n=14+1B, one 2n=14+2B, one 2n=14+3B and one 2n=14+9B. An analysis of esterase isozyme patterns shows that all 130 individuals with a standard karyotype (2n=14) have two esterase loci, Est-2 and Est-3, whereas all 10 individuals with Bs have three, Est-1, Est-2 and Est-3, irrespective of the precise number of Bs present. The role that the Bs may have played in the appearance of this new locus (Est-1) is discussed in relation to their possible origin.     

Lactate dehydrogenase isozymes in the preimplantation rabbit embryo

The rabbit zygote on day 1 of development contains predominantly A-type subunits of lactate dehydrogenase. During cleavage, the isozyme pattern shows a considerable increase in the amount of B subunits present. These findings indicate that the synthesis and metabolism of lactate dehydrogenase in the rabbit embryo are markedly different from those of the mouse embryo.This research was supported by the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development Grant 03071.     

Interspecific hybridization and genetic variability of Phlebotomus sandflies

The first successful hybridization is reported between Phlebotomus papatasi and P. duboscqi, two important Old World sandfly vectors of leishmaniasis and other diseases. Laboratory strains of P. papatasi and P. duboscqi were separable by six diagnostic enzyme loci: Est-3, Idh-1, Mdh-2, Mpi, Tre-1 and Tre-3. Hybrids between the two species were verified by the recovery of heterozygous isozyme patterns for the diagnostic loci. No F2 or backcross progeny were obtained. P. papatasi was separated from P. bergeroti by three diagnostic enzyme loci: Est-3, Mpi and Pgd. The isozyme patterns of P. bergeroti contain elements of both P. duboscqi and P. papatasi, although seven diagnostic loci (Est-3, Idh-1, Me, Mpi, Pgd, Tre-1 and Tre-3) separated P. bergeroti from P. duboscqi. Genetic variability profiles of the three species were established for 20 enzyme loci. Three geographically distant strains of P. papatasi from Calcutta, Maharashtra and Israel had isozyme genetic distances of < 0.05. The recently established Calcutta strain showed an unexpectedly low genetic variability with only one (Idh-2) of 20 loci being polymorphic (average heterozygosity of 1.9%) in contrast to 5-8 polymorphic loci (10-12% heterozygosity) in the Maharashtra and Israel strains. Mass and single pair crosses between the three P. papatasi strains were fertile with normal progeny numbers. Thus we found no signs of speciation in P. papatasi.     

Electrophoretic study of genetic variation in British Myzus persicae (Sulz.) (hemiptera,aphididae)

Thirty-five clones of the green peach aphid, Myzus persicae Sulz., representing a wide range of host plants and geographical origins, were examined electrophoretically. Only 11 of 26 enzymes were active enough for subsequent work. Since genetic crosses are very difficult to make in the parthenogenetic M. persicae, assigning bands to loci and alleles is necessarily arbitrary. Thirty-two isozyme bands were detected. Only two of these (Est-1 and Est-3) migrated to different distances in some clones. This is a very low level of interclone variation, considering the known properties and origins of the clones. The peculiar feeding habits of aphids may perhaps partly explain the inactivity of so many enzymes in M. persicae (which are active in other insects). The scarcity of interclone variation in isozyme migration distance in M. persicae clones may be the result of its fast parthenogenetic reproduction and high migration ability of alates, combined with the effects of natural and artificial selection (e.g., by insecticides). Surviving genotypes may be rather few, each represented by numerous individuals. The only type of widespread electrophoretic variation is in the intensity of two esterase bands (Est-1 and Est-2). Five hypotheses are presented to explain this variation and discussed in view of evidence from other organisms.     

Observations on the Neocytoplasm and Proteid Vacuoles During the Fertilization of Keteleeria evelyniana

Distributions and dynamics of the neocytoplasm and proteid vacuoles during the fertilization of Keteleeria evelyniana were studied by histochemical methods. Before fertilization cytoplasmic sheath surrounding the male and female gametes was indistinct. After fertilization, the dense neocytoplasm appeared around the zygote. Part of the neocytoplasm is invaded by mitochondria of maternal origin which had collected in large numbers in the perinuclear zone. The mitochondria contain electron compact little body which looks like a nucleus in the cytoplasm, but not observed in the rosette tier cell of proembryo and jacket cells. Hence, it was showed that the neocytoplasm participated in the development of embryo by all these observations. By using Feulgen reaction, the staining reaction of neocytoplasm was positive, the egg nucleus or zygote nucleus was weaker in positive reaction, while the proteid vacuoles were negative. When the proembryo developed, there were a few starch grains accumulated in the other three tiers except the upper tier. The Feulgen reaction was in- creased in intensity in the suspensor tier and embryonal cell tier nuclei. When the young embryo developed, Feulgen reaction became normal in the nuclei of the embryo initials. The embryo initials and Suspensor cells showed very weak Feulgen positive reaetion in the proembryo and young embryo. The development of the large proteid vacuoles was from plastid. During the early stage of egg nucleus, contents of large proteid vacuoles were less. When the zygote was formed, they reached the highest. However, after the zygote produced, the proteid vacuoles and egg cytoplasm were getting disintegrated following the course of fission of free nuclei. After the proembryo formed, the proteid vacuoles were wholly disintegrated.     

Genetic control and linkage relations of additional isozyme markers in chick-pea

Summary Allozyme polymorphisms of nine enzymes — aspartate aminotransferase (AAT), diaphorase (DIA), esterase (EST), formate dehydrogenase (FDH), -galactosidase (GAL), -glucosidase (GLU), malate dehydrogenase (MDH), malic enzyme (ME), and peroxidase (PRX) — were described in chick-pea (Cicer L.). Thirteen isozyme loci, Aat-c, Dia-4, Est-2, Est-4, Est-10, Fdh, Gal-2, Gal-3, Gal-4, Glu-3, Mdh-2, Me-2, and Prx-2, were genetically defined. Alleles of each of these isozyme loci expressed codominantly in heterozygotes and exhibited a codominant, single-locus segregation ratio in F₂. The loci Est-2, Mdh-2, and Me-1 were expressed only in flower. Linkage relations were determined for these 13 and several previously defined isozyme loci. The following new genetic linkages were identified: Pgm-p (locus for plastid phosphoglucomutase) — Est-10; Ald-p1 (one of the duplicate loci for plastid aldolase) — Glu-3 — Gal-2 — Est-2,3; Gal-3 — Aco-m (locus for mitochondrial aconitase) — Prx-2,3; Gpi-c (locus for cytosolic glucosephosphate isomerase) — Fdh; and Est-4 — Me-1. This study provides further confirmation on the existence of several conserved linkage groups among Cicer, Pisum, and Lens.     

Isozyme Variability in Plants Regenerated from Calli of Cereus peruvianus (Cactaceae)

Morphological and isozyme variation was observed among plants regenerated from callus cultures of Cereus peruvianus. Different morphological types of shoots (68%) were observed in 4-year-old regenerated plants, while no distinct morphological variants were observed in plants grown from germinated seeds. Isozyme patterns of 633 plants regenerated from calli and of 261 plants grown from germinated seeds showed no variation in isocitrate dehydrogenase isozyme, and the differential sorbitol dehydrogenase, alcohol dehydrogenase, malate dehydrogenase, acid phosphatase, and peroxidase isozyme patterns observed in regenerated plants were attributed to nonallelic variation. Allelic variation was detected at three isoesterase loci. The proportion of polymorphic loci for both populations was 13.6% and the deviation from Hardy–Weinberg equilibrium for the Est-1 and Est-7 loci observed in somaclones was attributed to the manner in which the regenerant population was established. The high values for genetic identity among regenerant and seed-grown plant populations are in accordance with the low levels of interpopulation genetic divergence. In somaclones of C. peruvianus, morphological divergence was achieved within a short time but was not associated with any isozyme changes and also was not accompanied by biochemical genetic divergence.
