温度对温敏核雄性不育水稻花粉育性与花药蛋白质的影响

温度对温敏不育水稻二九青Ｓ花粉育性的影响极为明显,在３０℃高温下,其花粉接近全不育;２０℃低温下花粉不育度亦高,但不及３０℃高温下显著。与原种二九青相比,高低温均使二九青Ｓ花药可溶性蛋白质含量明显增加,低温下更为显著;蛋白质ＳＤＳ－ＰＡＧＥ图谱表明经３０℃处理的二九青Ｓ花药蛋白质组分比原种二九青少了３条谱带。安农Ｓ－１在高温下花药中无花粉发育;而花药可溶性蛋白质含量高于适温（２５℃）下;ＳＤＳ－Ｐ     

四个普通小麦同核异质系的生化标记研究

以４上个普通小麦同核异质系－可育系Ｄ^2-CA8057(BC14),D^2型不育系msD^2－ＣＡ８０５７（ＢＣ１１）、ＹＡ型不育系msA-CA8057(BC12)、CA8057(核亲本）为材料,采用ＲＡＧＥ方法比较了４个系灌浆期种子胚乳和“花粉双核期”花药的过氧化物酶同工酶,采用梯度ＳＤＳ－ＰＡＧＥ方法比较了４个系不同发育时期（干种子胚乳、越冬前和越冬后苗期叶片、“花粉双核期”旗叶、“花粉双核期”花药）可溶性蛋白质的组份,发现可育系之间差异较小、不育系与可育系之间,D^2型不育系与ＹＡ型不育系之间的存在显著差异,表明细胞质（不育）基因的表达具有时空性和特异性,这些差异（表达）带作为细胞质（不育）基因对核基因的特异调控表达产物,可以作为４个系的生化标记,同时也表明msD^2-CA8057和msA-CA8057是２个不同的新不育类型。

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.     

A Unique Protease Cleavage Site Predicted in the Spike Protein of the Novel Pneumonia Coronavirus (2019-nCoV) Potentially Related to Viral Transmissibility

正Dear Editor,In December 2019, a novel human coronavirus caused an epidemic of severe pneumonia(Coronavirus Disease 2019,COVID-19) in Wuhan, Hubei, China(Wu et al. 2020; Zhu et al. 2020). So far, this virus has spread to all areas of China and even to other countries. The epidemic has caused 67,102 confirmed infections with 1526 fatal cases     

Curcuminoids as inhibitors of thioredoxin reductase: A receptor based pharmacophore study with distance mapping of the active site

Curcumin is the yellow pigment of turmeric that interacts irreversibly forming an adduct with thioredoxin reductase (TrxR), an enzyme responsible for redox control of cell and defence against oxidative stress. Docking at both the active sites of TrxR was performed to compare the potency of three naturally occurring curcuminoids, namely curcumin, demethoxy curcumin and bis-demethoxy curcumin. Results show that active sites of TrxR occur at the junction of E and F chains. Volume and area of both cavities is predicted. It has been concluded by distance mapping of the most active conformations that Se atom of catalytic residue SeCYS498, is at a distance of 3.56 from C13 of demethoxy curcumin at the E chain active site, whereas C13 carbon atom forms adduct with Se atom of SeCys 498. We report that at least one methoxy group in curcuminoids is necessary for interation with catalytic residues of thioredoxin. Pharmacophore of both active sites of the TrxR receptor for curcumin and demethoxy curcumin molecules has been drawn and proposed for design and synthesis of most probable potent antiproliferative synthetic drugs.     

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.
