The composition of the essential oil from the wormwood sage (Artemisia frigida Willd., Asteraceae) of populations growing in the Altai Territory, the Altai Republic, the Khakass Republic, the Tuva Republic,
and the East-Kazakhstan region of the Republic of Kazakhstan and the representative species of the silver-leaved wormwood
Artemisia argyrophylla Ledeb. growing in the Republic Altai has been studied by chromato-mass spectrometry. An analysis of 15 samples of the essential
oil from A. frigida obtained over a period from 1999 to 2007 indicates that samples from different populations have similar sets of the main
components: α-pinene (0.2–7.8%), camphene (1.9–5.8%), 1,8-cineole (8.9–33.8%), camphor (6.7–40.0%), borneol (3.9–12.3%), terpine-4-ol
(1.5–6.5%), bornyl acetate (1.4–22.0%), and germacrene D (1.4–14.6%). Some samples contain substantial amounts of α- and β-thujones
(in total up to 19.1%), which are completely absent in other samples. Some samples contain santolina alcohol (up to 13.8%)
and its acetate (up to 4.8%). As differentiated from A. frigida, the essential oil of A. argyrophylla contains yomogi alcohol (1.2%), artemisia ketone (12.9%), artemisia alcohol (3.1%), artemisia alcohol acetate (3.9%), and
small amounts of camphor (3.2%), borneol (0.3%), and bornyl acetate (0.2%). 相似文献

Abstrac The composition of essential oil of Artemisia lerchiana Web. plants growing in Volgograd oblast was studied. Sampling was performed from plots contrasting in climatic and soil characteristics.
Essential oil was obtained by hydrodistillation. The content of essential oil in shoot biomass increased gradually during
shoot formation, flower bud formation, and flowering beginning and then decreased. The highest content of essential oil varied
from 1.1 to 1.5% of plant dry weight at the stage of flower bud formation. More than thirty compounds were identified by gas
chromatography-mass spectrometry. The following major components were found: camphor, borneol, bornylacetate, camphene, and
1,8-cineole. Some of compounds (sesquiterpenes and sesquiterpenoids) were identified for the first time. The time-course of
accumulation of essential oil components strongly depended on habitat edaphic factors and climatic conditions during the year
of sampling. The results permit a conclusion that A. lerchiana is a valuable producer of essential oils.

In vivo modulation of HMG-CoA reductase (HMGR) activity and its impact on artemisinin biosynthesis as well as accumulation
were studied through exogenous supply of labeled HMG-CoA (substrate), labeled MVA (the product), and mevinolin (the competitive
inhibitor) using twigs of Artemisia annua L. plants collected at the pre-flowering stage. By increasing the concentration (2–16 μM) of HMG-CoA (3-14C), incorporation of labeled carbon into artemisinin was enhanced from 7.5 to 17.3 nmol (up to 130%). The incorporation of
label (14C) into MVA and artemisinin was inhibited up to 87.5 and 82.9%, respectively, in the presence of 200 μM mevinolin in incubation
medium containing 12 μM HMG-CoA (3-14C). Interestingly, by increasing the concentration of MVA (2-14C) from 2 to 18 μM, incorporation of label (14C) into artemisinin was enhanced from 10.5 to 35 nmol (up to 233%). When HMG-CoA (3-14C) concentration was increased from 12 to 28 μM in the presence of 150 μM mevinolin, the inhibitions in the incorporation
of label (14C) into MVA and artemisinin were, however, reversed and the labels were found to approach their values in twigs fed with 12 μM
HMG-CoA (3-14C) without mevinolin. In another experiment, 14.2% inhibition in artemisinin accumulation was observed in twigs in the presence
of 175 μM fosmidomycin, the competitive inhibitor of 1-deoxy-d-xylulose 5-phosphate reductase (DXR). HMG-CoA reductase activity and artemisinin accumulation were also increased by 18.6
to 24.5% and 30.7 to 38.4%, respectively, after 12 h of treatment, when growth hormones IAA (100 ppm), GA3 (100 ppm) and IAA + GA3 (50 + 50 ppm) were sprayed on A. annua plants at the pre-flowering stage. The results obtained in this study, hence, demonstrate that the mevalonate pathway is
the major contributor of carbon supply to artemisinin biosynthesis and HMGR limits artemisinin synthesis and its accumulation
in A. annua plants. 相似文献

The eukaryotic transposon Mos1 is a class-II transposable element that moves using a “cut-and-paste” mechanism in which the transposase is the only protein
factor required. The formation of the excision complex is well documented, but the integration step has so far received less
investigation. Like all mariner-like elements, Mos1 was thought to integrate into a TA dinucleotide without displaying any other target selection preferences. We set out to
synthesize what is currently known about Mos1 insertion sites, and to define the characteristics of Mos1 insertion sequences in vitro and in vivo. Statistical analysis can be used to identify the TA dinucleotides that are non-randomly
targeted for transposon integration. In vitro, no specific feature determining target choice other than the requirement for
a TA dinucleotide has been identified. In vivo, data were obtained from two previously reported integration hotspots: the
bacterial cat gene and the Caenorhabditis elegans rDNA locus. Analysis of these insertion sites revealed a preference for TA dinucleotides that are included in TATA or TA × TA
motifs, or located within AT-rich regions. Analysis of the physical properties of sequences obtained in vitro and in vivo
do not help to explain Mos1 integration preferences, suggesting that other characteristics must be involved in Mos1 target choice. 相似文献

Pseudocercospora griseola is the causal agent of angular leaf spot of common bean (ALS). It has undergone parallel coevolution with its host and two
major groups have been defined, “Andean” (P. griseola f. griseola) and “Mesoamerican” (P. griseola f. mesoamericana). The aim of this study was to analyze the nature and the level of the dark pigment synthesized by the representatives of
each group. After 21 days of incubation on potato dextrose agar medium, P. griseola f. griseola isolate S3b developed colonies with diameters of 17.5 ± 1.3 mm and concentric rings of pigmentation. Isolate T4 of P. griseola f. mesoamericana presented smaller colonies (9.9 ± 0.3 mm) with a uniform dark-gray color. Both isolates, S3b and T4, produced the same pigment,
a 1,8-dihydroxynaphthalene-melanin, although different in quantity and structural features as suggested by the IR spectrum.
The P. griseola f. griseola isolate S3b had a higher growth rate and melanin content as well as smaller sensitivity to melanin synthesis inhibitors compared
to the isolate T4 of P. griseola f. mesoamericana. These results suggest a possible link between melanin and growth in P. griseola. 相似文献

In vitro regeneration of black nightshade (Solanum nigrum L.) plants was achieved through callus-mediated shoot organogenesis followed by 30 d indoor ex vitro adaptation to nutritional stress under environmental ambience and thereafter 6-d outdoor acclimatization in pots prior to
field establishment. Relevant physiological parameters including pigment content, chlorophyll a fluorescence, net photosynthetic rate (P
N), transpiration rate (E), and stomatal conductance (g
s) of in vitro-regenerated plants were investigated during the course of ex vitro adaptation. During the first 4 d of indoor transplantation to potting substrate, there was a marginal reduction in the leaf
chlorophyll and carotenoid contents but P
N and E were strongly reduced. The stomatal conductance and E/P
N ratio were significantly higher in plants up to 20 d of indoor adaptation than those of comparable age grown naturally from
seeds. The shape of the OJIP fluorescence transient varied significantly with acclimatization, and the maximum change was
observed at 2.0 ms. The 2.0 ms variable fluorescence (V
j), 30 ms relative fluorescence (M
0), photon trapping probability (TR0/Abs), and photosystem II (PSII) trapping rate (TR0/RC) showed initial disturbance and subsequent stabilization during 30 d of indoor acclimatization. Energy dissipation (DI0/RC) and electron transport probability (ET0/TR0) showed an initial phase of increase during the 4 d after plants were transplanted outdoors. During the 6-d outdoor acclimatization
after transfer of plants to soil, no significant change in total chlorophylls and carotenoids, E, and g
s were observed, but P
N improved after reduction on the first d. The OJIP-derived parameters experienced change on the first d but were stabilized
quickly thereafter. There was no significant difference between outdoor acclimatized plants and those of the seed-grown plants
of comparable age with respect to photosynthetic and fluorescence parameters. Direct transfer of plants without indoor acclimatization,
however, showed a completely different trend with respect to P
N, E, and OJIP fluorescence transients. The bearing of this study on optimizing micropropagation is discussed. 相似文献

There are three most important bacterial causative agents of serious infections that could be misused for warfare purposes:
Bacillus anthracis (the causative agent of anthrax) is the most frequently mentioned one; however, Fracisella tularensis (causing tularemia) and Yersinia pestis (the causative agent of plague) are further bacterial agents enlisted by Centers for Disease Control and Prevention into the category A of potential biological weapons. This review intends to summarize basic information about these bacterial
agents. Military aspects of their pathogenesis and the detection techniques suitable for field use are discussed. 相似文献

Background
Repetitive DNA is a major fraction of eukaryotic genomes and occurs particularly often in plants. Currently, the sequencing of the sugar beet (Beta vulgaris) genome is under way and knowledge of repetitive DNA sequences is critical for the genome annotation. We generated a c 0 t-1 library, representing highly to moderately repetitive sequences, for the characterization of the major B. vulgaris repeat families. While highly abundant satellites are well-described, minisatellites are only poorly investigated in plants. Therefore, we focused on the identification and characterization of these tandemly repeated sequences. 相似文献10.

Interaction of Bdellovibrio bacteriovorus 100NCJB with bacteria Campylobacter jejuni (strains 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5) and Helicobacter pylori, strain TX30a, was confirmed. The results indicate that lytic activity of bdellovibrios both in liquid media and cells attached
to a surface was observed. The potential use of the antimicrobial activity of predatory bacteria for environmental bioprotection
and public health is discussed. 相似文献

We present data on the habitat, density, and spatial distribution of Rivulus giarettai, and discuss some biotic and abiotic variables related to its abundance in Free Flowing Waters (FFW) and Dam Reservoirs (DR)
in palm grove (Mauritia flexuosa) marshes (Veredas) in Uberlandia, Minas Gerais, southeastern Brazil. The mean density (individuals/plot) of R. giarettai was about 13 times higher in FFW than in DR. In FFW, the density of R. giarettai was highest at intermediate amounts of substrate (plant mass) and it was positively rank-correlated with the depth, and the
number of arthropods. Individuals occurred in an aggregated distribution. The aggregated pattern could be related to a concentration
of individuals in microhabitats neither too much exposed nor completely saturated by plants. R. giarettai was relatively abundant and tolerant to slight man-made habitat modifications. Damming appeared to be especially problematic
by negatively affecting its density. 相似文献

Based on population analysis of the DRB1, DQA1, DQB1 and TNFA allele frequency distribution patterns, regional features of immunogenetic structure of the population of West Siberia were
investigated. Statistically significant linkage disequilibrium within the HLA class II region, as well as between the TNFA and DRB1, DQA1, and DQB1 was demonstrated. Population frequency distribution patterns of two- and multilocus haplotypes were examined. 相似文献

Callus cultures derived from leaf segments of chrysanthemum cultivar ‘Snow Ball’ which was susceptible to Septoria obesa were successfully used for in vitro selection for resistance to this pathogenic fungus. Resistant cell lines were selected by culturing callus on growth medium
containing various concentrations of S. obesa filtrate. Resistant calluses obtained after two cycles (30 d each cycle) of selection were used for plant regeneration. About
30% of the plants regenerated from the resistant calluses and 70–80% of the plants raised from cuttings had acquired considerable
resistance against the pathogen in the field. No phenotypic variation was observed in the selected regenerates. 相似文献

Boletus kermesinus, a new species of Boletus section Luridi, is fully described and illustrated based on the materials collected in subalpine coniferous forests of central Honshu, Japan.
It has distinctive features of dark-red basidiomata having distinct viscidity in the pileus surface, usually unchanging flesh,
discolorous red pores, and an entirely reticulate stipe becoming coarsely lacerate-rimose with age. 相似文献

To overexpress the chitosanase gene (csn) in F. solani, a vector based on pCAMBIA 1300 was constructed. The csn gene, which is under control of the Aspergillus nidulans
gpdA promoter and A. nidulans trpC terminator, was introduced back into the F. solani genome by Agrobacterium tumefaciens-mediated transformation, and the herbicide-resistance gene bar from Streptomyces hygroscopicus was used as the selection marker. Transformants which showed a significant increase in chitosanase production (~2.1-fold
than control) were obtained. Southern blot analysis indicated that most transformants had a single-copy T-DNA integration. 相似文献

Phengaris (=Maculinea) arion is an endangered social parasite of Myrmica ants, and for a very long time was considered as specific to Myrmica sabuleti. Previous studies carried out in Poland suggested some discrepancies within this assumption, and therefore a much more intensive
survey was undertaken. The host ant use of P. arion was studied at five sites in different types of biotopes in Poland, i.e. xerothermal grasslands where Thymus pulegioides was used as a larval food plant by the butterfly, and more or less sandy biotopes with Thymus serpyllum. Altogether nine Myrmica species were recorded, and considerable variation in species composition and density of nests was recorded. At four localities
M. sabuleti proved to be the most common ant. A total of 529 Myrmica nests were examined, and only 20 of them contained larvae and pupae of P. arion. Host ants belonged to five different species, i.e. M. sabuleti, Myrmica scabrinodis, Myrmica schencki, Myrmica lobicornis and Myrmica hellenica. Only at one site (NE Poland) was a significant heterogeneity in parasitation rates among Myrmica species detected. M. lobicornis was the most often infested ant there, which may suggest local specialisation of the butterfly. Overall low parasitism rates
may explain the vulnerability of P. arion in Central Europe but further studies are also necessary. 相似文献

Pineapple is one of the most important tropical fruits, but the availability of planting material is insufficient to agricultural
demands. Therefore, several pineapple micropropagation protocols have been developed. However, acclimatization of in vitro plants continues to take a prolonged period. Biofertilizers have been found as safe alternatives to improve the agricultural
performances of many crops. This study highlights some of the effects of the application of Azotobacter chroococcum (INIFAT5 strain) on in vitro pineapple plants during acclimatization. The bacteria were sprayed immediately after transplanting to the ex vitro environment; the plants were then sprayed every 4 wk. A control group of plants was established. Subsequently, after 5 mo,
the evaluated variables included fresh and dry plant weight, plant height (cm), and root length (cm). The anatomy of middle-aged
leaves and roots was also studied: transversal thickness and width of cuticle, epidermis, hypodermis, aquiferous parenchyma,
and photosynthetic parenchyma. Thickness of root exoderm, external cortex, internal cortex, and stele were also evaluated.
In general, the INIFAT5 strain improved the plant development. Results showed that the bacteria significantly provoked changes
in the plant fresh weight, the thickness of the leaf abaxial and adaxial cuticles, and the root exoderm width. Contrastingly,
A. chroococcum did not affect the thickness of the leaf photosynthetic parenchyma. 相似文献
