Contact Toxicity and Repellency of the Essential Oil from Mentha haplocalyx Briq. against Lasioderma serricorne

The chemical composition of the essential oil obtained by hydrodistillation from the aerial parts of Mentha haplocalyx was investigated by GC‐FID and GC/MS analyses. In sum, 23 components, representing 92.88% of the total oil composition, were identified, and the main compounds were found to be menthol (59.71%), menthyl acetate (7.83%), limonene (6.98%), and menthone (4.44%). By bioassay‐guided fractionation (contact toxicity), three compounds were obtained from the essential oil and identified as menthol, menthyl acetate, and limonene. The essential oil and the three isolated compounds exhibited potent contact toxicity against Lasioderma serricorne adults, with LD₅₀ values of 16.5, 7.91, 5.96, and 13.7 μg/adult, respectively. Moreover, the oil and its isolated compounds also exhibited strong repellency against L. serricorne adults. At the lower concentrations tested and at 2 h after exposure, menthol showed even significantly stronger repellency than the positive control DEET. The study revealed that the bioactivity properties of the essential oil can be attributed to the synergistic effects of its diverse major and minor components, which indicates that the M. haplocalyx oil and its isolated compounds have potential for the development as natural insecticides and/or repellents to control insects in stored grains and traditional Chinese medicinal materials.

不同前处理条件对薄荷种子萌发的影响

研究了不同质量浓度(10～250 mg·L~(-1))赤霉素(GA_3)以及清水浸种不同时间(6～36 h)、层积不同时间(5～20 d)和超声波处理不同时间(5～25 min)对薄荷(Mentha haplocalyx Briq. )种子萌发的影响. 结果表明, 用100～200 mg·L~(-1) GA_3处理6 h, 薄荷种子的发芽启动时间缩短且发芽率和发芽势均显著高于对照, 其中, 用150 mg·L~(-1)GA_3浸种,薄荷种子的发芽率最高(57.3%).用清水浸种6～36 h后,薄荷种子的发芽启动时间和发芽持续时间与对照无显著差异,但浸种12 h的薄荷种子发芽率极显著高于对照.于10 ℃层积5～15 d后,薄荷种子的发芽率和发芽势极显著高于对照,发芽启动时间也与对照差异显著,其中层积5～10 d的种子发芽率较高,达47.8%～52.4%.用功率50 W、频率40 kHz超声波处理5～20 min后,薄荷种子发芽率较对照有极显著提高,其中用超声波处理10 min的薄荷种子发芽率最高,达到68.3%.研究结果显示,使用功率50 W、频率40 kHz的超声波处理10 min是打破薄荷种子休眠的最佳方法,可显著提高薄荷种子的发芽率.     

栽培密度对薄荷生长策略和光合特性的影响

比较研究了不同栽培密度对薄荷生长策略及光合特性的影响。结果表明：（1）随着密度的升高,单株的株高、茎粗、分枝数、单叶面积、叶片厚度等下降;（2）提高栽培密度时,薄荷的光合色素含量、光合面积、净光合速率均降低,而PSII的最大光化学效率不变;（3）高密度下,单株的根、茎、叶及总生物量积累下降,而群体的生物量积累变化不明显,但地下部分的生物量分配比例均显著增加。进一步分析表明密植会通过降低薄荷单位面积的色素含量而导致光合速率下降：栽培密度提高时薄荷通过增加根生物量比来优先竞争矿质营养。

Agrobacterium tumefaciens-mediated transformation of Mentha spicata and Mentha arvensis

The stable integration of GUS and NPTII genes in Mentha arvensis and M. spicata has been achieved by Agrobacterium tumefaciens-mediated gene transfer. Transformation assays were performed by cocultivating plant leaf disks with either GV2260/GI or EHA105/MOG Agrobacterium strains. Transgenic plants were selected on medium containing 150 mg l⁻¹ kanamycin. Transgene presence and structure was studied by the use of PCR analysis and Southern blot hybridization. Transgene expression was evaluated by RT-PCR and transgene product activity by a histoenzymatic GUS assay. This revised version was published online in June 2006 with corrections to the Cover Date.     

Metabolic engineering of monoterpene biosynthesis: two-step production of (+)-trans-isopiperitenol by tobacco

Monoterpenoid biosynthesis in tobacco was modified by introducing two subsequent enzymatic activities targeted to different cell compartments. A limonene-3-hydroxylase (lim3h) cDNA was isolated from Mentha spicata L. 'Crispa'. This cDNA was used to re-transform a transgenic Nicotiana tabacum'Petit Havana' SR1 (tobacco) line expressing three Citrus limon L. Burm. f. (lemon) monoterpene synthases producing (+)-limonene, gamma-terpinene and (-)-beta-pinene as their main products. The targeting sequences of these synthases indicate that they are probably localized in the plastids, whereas the sequence information of the P450 hydroxylase indicates targeting to the endoplasmatic reticulum. Despite the different location of the enzymes, the introduced P450 hydroxylase proved to be functional in the transgenic plants as it hydroxylated (+)-limonene, resulting in the emission of (+)-trans-isopiperitenol. Some further modifications of the (+)-trans-isopiperitenol were also detected, resulting in the additional emission of 1,3,8-p-menthatriene, 1,5,8-p-menthatriene, p-cymene and isopiperitenone.
