瓜蒌子的氨基酸分析

本文对栝楼、双边栝楼、王瓜、大子栝楼、湖北栝楼和糙点栝楼的种子进行了水解氨基酸的含量测定和分析比较。它们的氨基酸总量为9.7410～19.2203％,人体必需氨基酸含量为3.2092～5.8189％。含量较高的氨基酸依次是谷氨酸、精氨酸、门冬氨酸和亮氨酸。     

栝楼的组织培养与快速繁殖

栝楼（Trichosanthes kirilowii Maxim．）,也称瓜楼、药瓜、吊瓜等,为葫芦科栝楼属（Trichosanthes L．）多年生攀援植物。栝楼根、茎、叶、瓜皮及种子均具有一定的药用价值,其籽是炒货中的佳品。由于栝楼野生资源有限且遭严重破坏,尽管各地有少量引种栽培,但其产量却远不能满足市场需求,因此,对栝楼进行组织培养与快速繁殖具有重要意义。目前,仅有以栝楼腋芽为材料进行组织培养的研究报道。作者以栝楼的茎尖、茎切段和幼叶为外植体进行组织培养,通过对不同培养基的筛选和优化,初步建立了栝楼组织培养的快速繁殖体系,并获得了大量优良品种的无菌苗,为扩大生产提供了保障。

栝楼ISSR-PCR反应体系的建立和优化

用改良SDS法提取栝楼(Trichosanthes kirilowii Maxim)叶片DNA为模板,通过单因素试验研究模板、引物、Taq DNA聚合酶和dNTPs等4因素各7个水平对栝楼ISSR-PCR扩增结果的影响,并通过正交试验对各因子的浓度进行优化,首次建立了栝楼ISSR-PCR分析的最适反应体系:20 μL的反应体系中,1×buffer,模板含量为50 ng,引物的浓度为0.5 μmol/L,Taq DNA聚合酶的用量为0.8 U,dNTPs的浓度为200 μmol/L.随机选取10条引物验证体系稳定性,并对190条ISSR引物初筛,得到条带清晰、多态性好的引物126条.经验证,本实验所建立的栝楼ISSR-PCR反应体系具有稳定可靠、可重复性好、多态性较强等特点,能够较好的应用于栝楼的ISSR分子生物学分析.

栝楼属基于核糖体ITS序列的系统发育分析

栝楼属（Trichosanthes）是葫芦科(Cucurbitaceae)中一个种类较多、药用价值较大的属。本文基于ITS序列分析了栝楼属16个种的系统发育关系。聚类分析表明：在组的划分上,具有分类争议的截叶组(sect. Truncata)与大苞组(sect. Involucraria)形成一大支,处于一亚分枝位置,不支持独立成组。在属内分类地位上,在核酸水平不支持贵州栝楼(T.guizhouensis)为一独立种,结合形态特征建议并入双边栝楼(T.rosthornii)。大方油栝楼(T.dafangensis)与小苞组(sect. Trichosanthes)成为姊妹群,处于一个向叶苞组(sect. Foliobracteola)过渡位置,结合其形态特征,建议作为小苞组(sect. Trichosanthes)成员。     

雌雄栝楼的组织培养研究

对雌雄栝楼（Trlctmsanthes kirilowii Maxim）分别进行组织培养的研究结果表明：在雌雄栝楼组织培养过程中,愈伤组织的诱导和分化适宜的培养基均存在性别差异。愈伤组织诱导的适宜培养基分别是,雌性栝楼培养基为MS＋NAA0．5mg／L＋IBA0．5mg／L＋6-BA1．5mg／L;雄性栝楼培养基为MS＋NAA0．1mg/L＋IBA0．5mg／L＋6-BA0．5mg／L和MS＋NAA0．1mg／L＋IBA1．0mg／L＋6-BA1．0mg/L。愈伤组织分化的适宜培养基分别是,雌性栝楼培养基为MS＋NAA0．1mg／L＋IBA0．4mg／L＋6-BA1．2mg／L;雄性栝楼培养基为MS＋NAA0．3ms／L＋IBA0．2mg／L＋6-BA0．8mg／L;雌雄栝楼无根苗生根的适宜培养基均为MS＋NAA0．1mg／L。

栝楼雌雄植株的光合作用和蒸腾作用特性

对栝楼雌雄植株生长发育关键时期的光合作用和蒸腾作用进行研究.结果表明:在营养生长阶段,栝楼雄株的光合速率、蒸腾速率、气孔导度和水分利用效率均大于雌株;雄株比雌株提前22 d进入生殖生长阶段,当雄株进入生殖生长阶段后,其光合速率、蒸腾速率和气孔导度均大于雌株,但水分利用效率略小于雌株;当雌株进入生殖生长阶段后,其蒸腾速率和气孔导度大于雄株,而光合速率和水分利用效率显著小于雄株.气候因子对栝楼生长发育的影响主要是在营养生长和生殖生长初期,栝楼生长发育后期对气候因子的响应程度减弱.较高的温度和较低的湿度有利干栝楼的生长发育,光照可提高栝楼尤其是雄株的光合速率.进入生殖生长后,雄株的光合速率随光照的增强显著增加,而雌株的光合速率增加不显著;随气温的升高,雄株的蒸腾速率显著提高,雌株的光合速率极显著提高.     

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.
