重症急性呼吸系统综合症的研究现状与展望

重症急性呼吸系统综合症(SARS)的突然出现和在全世界的迅速传播,促使全球科学家正以前所未有的方式团结起来,舍力破解SARS病原并寻求预防和治疗SARS的方法。综述了SARS出现以来的最新研究并展望相关研究前沿。     

TYROSINASE AND PLANT RESPIRATION

The evidence presented in this paper supports the conclusion that at least 85 per cent of the oxygen uptake of the respiring tissue of potato tuber enters the chemistry of the cell by way of a tyrosinase-catalyzed oxidation. The qualitative aspects of this conclusion are in agreement with the claim made by Boswell and Whiting. However, the evidence offered by them in support of this conclusion is shown to be inadequate.     

杂交水稻幼芽呼吸和抗氰呼吸强度的研究

本文研究了13个水稻杂交组合幼芽总呼吸强度和抗氰呼吸强度,发现杂交水稻幼芽总呼吸和抗氰呼吸强度多表现为负优势。杂种幼芽总呼吸强度及抗氰呼吸强度与其亲本均值均呈极显著正相关,回归关系亦极显著。杂种幼芽抗氰呼吸和其中亲值的差值与其父母本之差值呈显著正相关,而杂种幼芽呼吸强度其中亲值的差值与其父母本之差值呈不显著负相关。认为杂种幼芽的抗氰呼吸强度和总呼吸强度均可由其双亲均值预测,抗氰呼吸强度作为杂种优势预测生理指标的潜力更大一些。     

A METHOD OF STUDYING RESPIRATION

An apparatus is described which makes it possible to measure rapidly and accurately small amounts of CO₂ given off by organisms of all kinds. The apparatus can also be used to measure photosynthesis.
