锌富集对蛹虫草菌丝体内虫草素、腺苷含量的影响

为了解蛹虫草菌丝体对锌的富集特性,研究锌富集对蛹虫草菌丝体内虫草素、腺苷含量的影响,通过在液体培养基中添加不同质量浓度的锌离子(0~35 g/L),探讨其对蛹虫草菌丝生物量、菌丝体内锌积累量,以及锌的富集对菌丝体内虫草素、腺苷含量产生的影响。结果表明:在0~35 g/L锌离子的梯度范围内,蛹虫草菌丝生物量与锌质量浓度呈显著负相关,锌质量浓度35 g/L为蛹虫草菌丝生长极限浓度。锌质量浓度40.0 g/L及以上菌丝生长受到完全抑制。菌丝体内锌的积累量随锌质量浓度的增加而显著升高,锌质量浓度为35.0 g/L时锌积累量可达到193.87 mg/g(干重)。蛹虫草菌丝体内腺苷的含量随锌质量浓度的增加而降低,在锌质量浓度为5 g/L时降幅显著,腺苷含量仅为对照组的17.24%,之后腺苷含量变化趋势趋于水平。腺苷含量的降低可能是因为锌的富集干扰了蛹虫草菌丝体内初生代谢的正常进行。虫草素的含量随锌质量浓度的增加而显著降低,可能是由于其直接前体腺苷含量的降低,或是Zn离子的加入,使得某些被刺激的酶和基因通过转录因子影响了虫草素的合成。

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.     

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.

Selection with two alleles and complete dominance

For a plant selection model with frequency-independent viabilities, fertilities and selfing rates, it is shown that apart from global fixation, for certain parameter combinations a protected polymorphism and facultative fixation (either allele may become fixed according to initial frequencies) may both occur. Facultative fixation requires different selling rates for the dominant and recessive type. Protection of the polymorphism requires resource allocation for male and female function. In this connection the problem of purely genetically caused population extinction is discussed.
For general frequency dependence and regular segregation, the chances for establishment of a completely recessive gene are compared to those of a completely dominant gene. It is proven that the process of establishment of the recessive gene, despite a fitness advantage, may be considerably endangered by drift effects if random mating prevails. The recessive gene may reach the same effectivity in establishment as a dominant gene, only if the recessive homozygote mates exclusively with its own type during the period of establishment.
