荔枝胚胎败育与酚类抑制物质的关系

在荔枝 (LitchichinensisSonn .)胚胎败育发生期 ,以系统溶剂法从正常或败育胚珠中初步提取酚类抑制物质 ,通过TLC分离与纯化 ,用GC MS联用仪进一步分离鉴定 ,并以标准品核对。试验首次从荔枝胚珠中分离鉴定出酚类抑制物质对羟基苯甲酸 (p_HBA)。生物活性测定表明 ,p_HBA是一种很强的生长抑制物质。在败育胚珠中其含量及IAA氧化酶活性均显著高于正常胚珠 ,IAA水平则明显低于正常胚珠 (P <0 .0 1)。因此认为 ,p_HBA参与了荔枝胚胎发育的调节 ,高含量的p_HBA是通过促进IAA侧链的氧化并影响促进和抑制生长的物质之间的平衡而导致荔枝胚胎的败育     

一串红胚胎发育过程中多胺含量的变化

选取发育正常和败育一串红(Saliva splendens)5个不同时期的胚胎,分别提取、测定多胺(精胺、亚精胺、腐胺与尸胺)的含量变化.通过比较一串红胚胎发育不同阶段多胺物质的变化规律,探讨多胺在一串红胚胎发育中的生理作用.结果表明,一串红的胚胎败育和胚珠中较低的多胺含量及其在发育进程中较大的降幅有关;在盛花期,胚胎发育的关键时期,正常胚珠中哑精胺的含量有一个明显的峰值,而败育的胚珠中则无,这表明亚精胺含量变化在胚胎发育中起关键调节作用.     

荔枝胚珠中多胺含量变化与胚胎发育的关系

荔枝胚胎发育与胚珠中３种多胺（ＰＡｓ）含量及其比例变化关系密切。试验结果表明：正常发育的胚珠中腐胺（Ｐｕｔ）、亚精胺（Ｓｐｄ）和精胺（Ｓｐｍ）的含量在胚胎发育的各个阶段均高于败育胚珠,并在花后７ｄ即达到最高值,其中Ｐｕｔ的含量最高,随后都呈下降趋势。但正常胚珠中Ｓｐｍ含量在花后２２至３１ｄ（球形胚至心形胚发育阶段）均有所回升,而败育胚珠无此现象。败育胚珠中的Ｓｐｄ和Ｓｐｍ在胚胎败育期的下降速度显著     

葡萄胚胎发育与败育过程中胚珠的多胺含量变化

花后40~60d期间,种子败育型无核葡萄胚珠的3种多胺含量明显低于有核葡萄,据此认为无核葡萄胚珠中多胺含量急剧下降和较低的多胺水平可能是导致葡萄胚胎败育的重要原因。(Spd Spm)/Put和Spm/PAs比值变化与葡萄胚胎发育密切相关,较低的比值不利于胚胎的正常分化。     

小叶杨与美杨种间杂交的胚胎发育和杂种胚珠的离体培养

1.观察了小叶杨(Populus simonii Carr.)和美杨(Populus pyramidalis Borkh.)人工杂交后从花粉粒萌发至胚分化完成的发育过程:1.大多数美杨花粉粒可以在小叶杨的柱头上萌发长出花粉管,花粉管在花柱中正常地生长并通过珠孔进入胚囊,于授粉后4—7天发生双受精作用,形成初生胚乳核和合子。胚乳的发育正常或不正常,后者表现为在游离核阶段的败育或胚乳细胞发育不良。胚在各个发育阶段尤其是球形胚和心形胚阶段,都可能败育,也可以正常发育成为分化完全的有效胚。2.将授粉后19天、22天、26天和29天含有不同发育阶段(心形期、鱼雷期、子叶伸长期)未成熟的杂种胚珠接种于人工培养基上,结果表明:1.M110培养基(1/2 MS+IAA 0.01毫克/升+BA 0.1毫克/升+蔗糖2%)是选用培养基中效果最好的;2.不同发育阶段杂种胚的胚珠可以离体培养成生长正常的小植株。     

醮核荔枝胚胎发育相关蛋白质的分离及初步鉴定

通过二维聚丙烯酰胺凝胶电泳以及计算机辅助的图像分析技术,对荔枝开花后40d的正常与败育胚蛋白质图谱进行初步分析。结果表明,100个蛋白质点在表达丰度上有明显差异;选择仅在正常发育胚胎胶上表达的蛋白点15个和仅在败育胚胎胶上表达的蛋白点50个,进行基质辅助激光解吸附电离飞行时间质谱（MALDI—TOFMASS）分析,鉴定出9个与胚发育相关的蛋白,这些蛋白可能参与了胚败育的调节和控制。     

焦核与大核龙眼雌配子体发育、授粉受精及早期胚胎发育的比较研究

利用人工授粉,采用压片法对大核龙眼‘九月乌’和焦核龙眼‘闽焦64-1’、‘闽焦64-2’、‘白核’等的自交与杂交后花粉管的生长特性进行研究,同时应用常规石蜡切片技术对大核与焦核龙眼的雌配子体以及合子胚早期发育进行观察。结果表明,龙眼胚珠在单核胚囊形成前就开始败育,且焦核品种(系)的败育率显著高于大核品种。不同亲本组合的授粉率存在差异,所有授粉组合在授粉36～48 h后均能观察到1个花粉管生长并进入胚囊受精。焦核品种(系)的胚胎在谢花后10 d开始败育,且败育率明显高于大核品种。受精是龙眼子房发育的首要条件,胚珠败育的雌蕊在谢花后10 d不膨大,不能发育形成焦核果实。谢花后10～30 d的早期胚胎败育是形成焦核龙眼的主要原因。焦核品种‘白核’胚乳具有成胚能力。约有24%的‘闽焦64-1’胚珠在胚胎发育过程中,其助细胞、合点端细胞及胚乳发生异常,这可能与早期胚胎败育有关。     

通过对胚珠的培养来培育无籽葡萄

葡萄(如Thompson Seedless(TS)葡萄品种)的无籽特征是由于少精子型种子发育引起的——在发育早期抑制胚胎生长造成败育。这种葡萄品种很难进行杂交,因为它们仅可用作雄性亲本,必须与有种子的品种杂交。这样杂交产生的无籽葡萄的比率很低。 1983年,D.W.Cain曾报道了一种可营救无籽葡萄的胚胎而使杂交直接进行的胚珠培养方法。然而,用这种方法得到的胚胎存活率和植株发育频率也很低。     

两种互逆资源梯度影响下刺叶锦鸡儿的种子选择性败育格局

种子的选择性败育在被子植物中普遍存在,开展结籽格局及其影响因素的研究有助于深入了解种子的形成机制及多样化的生殖对策。以刺叶锦鸡儿Caragana acanthophylla为材料,通过传粉过程、胚珠发育动态和资源分配状况的研究,以探讨种子的选择性败育格局及相关影响因素。结果显示：(1)刺叶锦鸡儿具高度自交不亲和性,为泛化的传粉系统,蜂类是主要的传粉者。自然状态的结实率为(86.00±4.96)%,不存在传粉限制,但受精具明显的时间效应。(2)刺叶锦鸡儿单花期4—5d,每朵花有(14.00±0.14)粒胚珠。胚珠的发育从荚果顶部开始,其中,开花后第3天荚果顶部胚珠开始膨大;第11天绝大多数胚珠出现了膨大,此时,在荚果基部的胚珠开始败育,随后荚果顶端受精后的胚珠也出现败育,最终仅荚果中部形成2—3粒种子。其结籽格局为成熟荚果中部胚珠,而败育荚果顶部和基部胚珠的选择性败育类型。(3)受微地形影响,居群内开花植株具斑块分布,对较少开花植株通过添加水肥进行资源调控后,结籽率显著提高,说明在种子形成过程中存在资源限制。综上所述,受精顺序和资源限制两个互逆的资源梯度决定了刺叶锦鸡儿的结籽格局。其中,...     

棉花胚珠纤维发育的研究

将未受精的棉花胚珠漂浮培养在加有不同植物激素的BT培养基上,培养48小时或96小时后,用扫描电镜观察纤维发育情况,以及测定胚珠内IAA氧化酶活性变化及内源ABA的含量变化,并和同一时期的大田生长的胚珠进行比较。结果表明:IAA+GA_3是最佳激素组合。在这种激素组合的培养基中培养的未受精胚珠,在纤维发育、酶活性变化等方面,均与大田生长的胚珠相似。这一激素组合还能抑制离体胚珠内源ABA的增长,但同一时期的大田生长的胚珠,其内源ABA含量却相对要高。     

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.     

肝癌中HBV和HCV基因和抗原的分布及意义

采用原位分子杂交方法检测HCV RNA及HBV X基因;采用免疫组织化学方法研究HCV核心抗原,非结构区C33c抗原及HBxAg在肝细胞肝癌中的定位及分布.结果表明(1)HCV RNA、HBV X基因在肝细胞肝癌组织检出率分别为40%(55/136)和82%(112/136).HCV RNA定位于癌细胞的胞浆内,阳性细胞呈散在、灶状及弥漫分布三种形式;HBV X基因在肝癌细胞中的分布呈胞浆型、核型及核浆型,阳性细胞也呈上述三种分布形式;(2)HCV C33c抗原、核心抗原在肝细胞肝癌中的阳性率为81%(133/164)及86%(141/164).C33c抗原定位于癌细胞及肝细胞的胞浆内;核心抗原既定位于癌细胞核中,又可定位于胞浆中.C33c抗原阳性细胞以灶状分布为主;而核心抗原阳性细     

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.
