In the light of the discovery of hydroxylated pulvinic acids in the gasteromycetePisolithus arhizus, a possible relationship with the boletoid fungi and their relatives is explored. Biogenetic inter-relationships are indicated, including the host range ofApiocrea chrysosperma, and the distribution of phenylpyruvate-derived pigments offered in schematic form. 相似文献

A cultured soybean cell line, SB-1 was used to evaluate the initial interaction between the soybean cells andRhizobium japonicum. Co-culturing ofR. japonicum with SB-1 cells in suspension resulted in strain-specific polar attachment. This attachment can be inhibited by galactose and antibodies raised against seed soybean agglutinin (SBA). A lectin was purified from SB-1 cells which shares properties with SBA in terms of immunological reactivity, sugar binding activity, polypeptide molecular weight and peptide maps. When the SB-1 cells were co-cultured withR. japonicum for three weeks in solid agar medium, histological staining revealed bacterial penetration into certain SB-1 cells. Furthermore, there were focal regions of cells with prominent nuclei representing actively proliferating regions. These observations are analogous to that ofin vivo nodule initiation in soybean roots. 相似文献

Adaptive photosynthetic strategies of the Mediterranean maquis species according to their origin 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
In consideration of their origin the adaptive strategies of the evergreen species of the Mediterranean maquis were analysed. Rosmarinus officinalis L., Erica arborea L., and Erica multiflora L. had the lowest net photosynthetic rate (PN) in the favourable period [7.8±0.6 mol(CO2) m–2s–1, mean value], the highest PN decrease (on an average 86 % of the maximum) but the highest recovery capacity (>70 % of the maximum) at the first rainfall in September. Cistus incanus L. and Arbutus unedo L. had the highest PN during the favourable period [15.5±5.2 mol(CO2) m–2s–1, mean value], 79 % decrease during drought, and a lower recovery capacity (on an average 54 %). Quercus ilex L., Phillyrea latifolia L., and Pistacia lentiscus L. had an intermediate PN in the favourable period [9.2±1.3 mol(CO2) m–2s–1, mean value], a lower reduction during drought (on an average 63 %), and a range from 62 % (Q. ilex and P. latifolia) to 39 % (P. lentiscus) of recovery capacity. The Mediterranean species had higher decrease in PN and stomatal conductance during drought and a higher recovery capacity than the pre-Mediterranean species. Among the pre-Mediterranean species, P. latifoliahad the best adaptation to long drought periods also by its higher leaf mass per area (LMA) which lowered leaf temperature thus decreasing transpiration rate during drought. Moreover, its leaf longevity determined a more stable leaf biomass during the year. Among the Mediteranean species, R. officinalis was the best adapted species to short drought periods by its ability to rapidly recover. Nevertheless, R. officinalis had the lowest tolerance to high temperatures by its PN dropping below half its maximum value when leaf temperature was over 33.6°C. R. officinalismay be used as a bioindicator species of global change.This revised version was published online in March 2005 with corrections to the page numbers. 相似文献

The fern gametophyte is a good model system for studying cell biological, physiological, and photobiological aspects of the
fundamental processes of plant development and physiological phenomena, because of its autotrophic characteristics and its
simple structure. The cells, moreover, are not surrounded by tissue, so observation and manipulation of the cells are very
easy. Here I summarize a part of my knowledge of fern systems, which I have studied for nearly 40 years.

Severe climatic events affect all species, but there is little quantitative knowledge of how sympatric species react to such
situations. We compared the reproductive seasonality of sea turtles that nest sympatrically with their vulnerability to tropical
cyclones (in this study, “tropical cyclone” refers to tropical storms and hurricanes), which are increasing in severity due
to changes in global climate. Storm surges significantly decreased reproductive output by lowering the number of nests that
hatched and the number of hatchlings that emerged from nests, but the severity of this effect varied by species. Leatherback
turtles (Dermochelys coriacea) began nesting earliest and most offspring hatched before the tropical cyclone season arrived, resulting in little negative
effect. Loggerhead turtles (Caretta caretta) nested intermediately, and only nests laid late in the season were inundated with seawater during storm surges. Green turtles
(Chelonia mydas) nested last, and their entire nesting season occurred during the tropical cyclone season; this resulted in a majority (79%)
of green turtle nests incubating in September, when tropical cyclones are most likely to occur. Since this timing overlaps
considerably with the tropical cyclone season, the developing eggs and nests are extremely vulnerable to storm surges. Increases
in the severity of tropical cyclones may cause green turtle nesting success to worsen in the future. However, published literature
suggests that loggerhead turtles are nesting earlier in the season and shortening their nesting seasons in response to increasing
sea surface temperatures caused by global climate change. This may cause loggerhead reproductive success to improve in the
future because more nests will hatch before the onset of tropical cyclones. Our data clearly indicate that sympatric species
using the same resources are affected differently by tropical cyclones due to slight variations in the seasonal timing of
nesting, a key life history process. 相似文献

This review compares the activity of the plant transposable elements Ac, Tam3, En/Spm and Mu in heterologous plant species and in their original host. Mutational analysis of the autonomous transposable elements and two-element systems have supplied data that revealed some fundamental properties of the transposition mechanism. Functional parts of Ac and En/Spm were detected by in vitro binding studies of purified transposase protein and have been tested for their importance in the function of these transposable elements in heterologous plant species. Experiments that have been carried out to regulate the activity of the Ac transposable element are in progress and preliminary results have been compiled. Perspectives for manipulated transposable elements in transposon tagging strategies within heterologous plant species are discussed. 相似文献

Photoinhibitory processes in the photosynthetic apparatus of the seedlings of Abies alba (Mill.), Picea abies (Karst.), and Pinus mugo (Turra) growing under strong shade (5 % of full solar irradiance) or full irradiance conditions were investigated in winter
and spring using chlorophyll a fluorescence techniques. The extent of photoinhibition in needles as indicated by a decrease in maximum quantum yield of
PS II photochemistry (Fv/Fm) depended on species, air temperature and acclimation to the light environment. Unexpectedly, shade-tolerant Abies alba was less affected by low-temperature photoinhibition compared to the other species. Fv/Fm recovered with increasing air temperature. During winter, the seedlings of Picea abies growing in shade showed higher Fv/Fm than those from full light. Non-photochemical quenching of fluorescence (NPQ) measured at the same levels of actinic light
was higher in needles acclimated to full light except for Abies alba in February. Photosynthetic performance in term of ETR (apparent electron transfer rate) was also higher in full light-acclimated
needles. In April, at ambient temperature, recovery of PS II efficiency from the stress induced by illumination with saturating
light was faster in the needles of Picea abies than in those of Abies alba. The shade-acclimated needles of Abies alba and Picea abies showed greater down-regulation of PS II induced by high light stress. 相似文献

Summary The relative susceptibility to predators of a cryptic generalist caterpillar (Spilosoma congrua: Arctiidae) and a non-cryptic specialist (Junonia coenia: Nymphalidae) using the same hostplant species (Plantago lanceolata) was examined. In a laboratory experiment using predatory stinkbugs (Podisus maculiventris), more Junonia caterpillars than Spilosoma caterpillars were killed (70% vs. 16%). This result was a consequence of the Spilosoma spending some time under cover, moving frequently, feeding on leaves while under or adjacent to them, and spending little time on the leaves. In a field experiment using predatory wasps (Polistes fuscatus), the wasps found 7 times as many of the Junonia as the Spilosoma, and overall 6 times as many Junonia were killed as Spilosoma. Initially, 71% of the Junonia caterpillars encountered by wasps were killed, but by the fourth day of the test, only 22% of the Junonia encountered by wasps were killed. Over three full days of observations, a constant 50% of the Spilosoma caterpillars encountered by the wasps per day were killed. For the Junonia, evasion of predators rested on passive chemical defense. For the Spilosoma, evasion depended on being unapparent, speedy movement between feeding and resting sites and, if found, on fleeing immediately and quickly. These results indicate that Spilosoma caterpillars, by way of cryptic and escape behaviors, can be less susceptible to insect predators than Junonia caterpillars. 相似文献

Dual inoculations onLeucaena esculenta plants of eitherGlomus versiforme andRhizobium loti NGR 8 orGlomus sp. andR. loti ENCB 31, gave higher growth and phosphorus accumulation compared with treatments with a single micro-symbiont. The above combinations could be used in a re-forestation programme withL. esculenta in the highlands of Oaxaca State, Mexico. The use of endomycorrhized plants is recommended to alleviate the planting shock-phase, particularly in arid zones, and also the risk of root colonization by possibly less-efficient indigenous fungi. 相似文献

The sialic acid analogue,N-acetyl-4-deoxy-neuraminic acid, is readily activated by CMP-sialic acid synthase from bovine brain. We also show that sialyl-transfer from CMP-N-acetyl-4-deoxy-neuraminic acid to asialo-
1-acid glycoprotein is achieved at a high rate using Gal1-4GlcNAc (2.6)-sialyltransferase from rat liver.In contrast toVibrio cholerae sialidase, fowl plague virus sialidase liberates boundN-acetyl-4-deoxy-neuraminic acid from the glycoprotein. Thus, as opposed to the general view, the action of neither synthase nor transferase depends on the presence of the hydroxy group at C-4 ofN-acetylneuraminic acid.Abbrevations BSA

TherbcL gene of 25 taxa was sequenced and analyzed cladistically in order to define more precisely the orderAsterales s.l. and to reconstruct the phylogeny ofGoodeniaceae. The cladistic analyses show that theAsterales comprise the familiesAbrophyllaceae, Alseuosmiaceae, Argophyllaceae, Asteraceae, Calyceraceae, Campanulaceae s.l.,Donatiaceae, Goodeniaceae (includingBrunoniaceae),Menyanthaceae, Pentaphragmataceae, andStylidiaceae. Abrophyllaceae, Alseuosmiaceae, Brunoniaceae, andDonatiaceae have previously not been studied in this respect. Within theGoodeniaceae, four groups supported by therbcL data can be distinguished: the genusLechenaultia, theAnthotium-Dampiera-group, the genusBrunonia, and a group formed by the remaining genera, theScaevola-Goodenia-group. 相似文献

Isolates of different Steinernema species (S. affine, S. bicornutum, S. feltiae and Steinernema C1) were used in mortality assays with third instar larvae of Delia radicum (L.) (Diptera: Anthomyiidae). The nematode isolates had been obtained by baiting soil regularly grown with cabbage. One isolate (S. feltiae) was the result of a natural infection of a D. radicum puparium. The highest mortality (77%) was obtained with an isolate of S. feltiae (DK1). The isolate DK1 was also used in tests with all larval stages of D. radicum. Mortality around 60% was observed for second and third instar larvae, while first instar larvae showed very low or no susceptibility. Maximum mortality of second and third instar larvae was reached applying only 25 nematodes per larva. Observations of larvae that pupated revealed that some of these puparia contained nematodes. Experiments with hatching puparia showed that a high proportion was infected by nematodes if the flies were prevented from leaving nematode-containing soil. In addition to mortality, the ability of the nematodes to successfully reproduce in the insects was studied. It was found that the species S. feltiae and S. bicornutum reproduced in D. radicum larvae and adults with S. feltiae being the most successful. 相似文献
