Ionotropic Receptor-dependent cool cells control the transition of temperature preference in Drosophila larvae

Temperature sensation guides animals to avoid temperature extremes and to seek their optimal temperatures. The larval stage of Drosophila development has a dramatic effect on temperature preference. While early-stage Drosophila larvae pursue a warm temperature, late-stage larvae seek a significantly lower temperature. Previous studies suggest that this transition depends on multiple rhodopsins at the late larval stage. Here, we show that early-stage larvae, in which dorsal organ cool cells (DOCCs) are functionally blocked, exhibit similar cool preference to that of wild type late-stage larvae. The molecular thermoreceptors in DOCCs are formed by three members of the Ionotropic Receptor (IR) family, IR21a, IR93a, and IR25a. Early-stage larvae of each Ir mutant pursue a cool temperature, similar to that of wild type late-stage larvae. At the late larval stage, DOCCs express decreased IR proteins and exhibit reduced cool responses. Importantly, late-stage larvae that overexpress IR21a, IR93a, and IR25a in DOCCs exhibit similar warm preference to that of wild type early-stage larvae. These data suggest that IR21a, IR93a, and IR25a in DOCCs navigate early-stage larvae to avoid cool temperatures and the reduction of these IR proteins in DOCCs results in animals remaining in cool regions during the late larval stage. Together with previous studies, we conclude that multiple temperature-sensing systems are regulated for the transition of temperature preference in fruit fly larvae.     

云贵高原抚仙湖近13300年的花粉/炭屑记录*

抚仙湖是云贵高原著名的断陷深水湖,其沉积物蕴藏着流域地质历史时期丰富的环境信息。对钻取自该湖的900cm 湖泊沉积物岩芯进行花粉/炭屑分析及花粉数据的主成分分析表明,抚仙湖流域的植被、气候与火灾在过去的13 300年经历了5个阶段的变化：(1)13 300—10 400cal．a BP,植被以松林为主,伴有山地暗针叶林和常绿阔叶林,表明该时期气候较为冷湿,森林火灾多发,在后期随着温度和湿度的降低,森林火灾愈加频繁。(2)10 400—5 700cal．a BP,松林收缩,常绿阔叶林扩张,出现一定数量的落叶阔叶林,显示该时期气候偏暖偏干;此阶段早期随着气候变暖变干森林火灾的发生延续上阶段高发的状态,直到9 500cal．a BP后随着湿度的增加森林火灾明显减少。(3)5 700—1 800cal．a BP,松林变化较小,常绿/落叶阔叶林比重增大,首次出现了暖热性的枫香林,显示该时期暖湿的气候特征,火灾发生频率低。(4)1 800—500cal．a BP,松林扩张,阔叶林收缩,本阶段后期草本植被比重开始增加,显示该时期气候相对冷干,森林火灾发生频率较高。(5)500cal．a BP至今,松林收缩,落叶阔叶树种增多,草本植物花粉明显增多,显示该时期气候温凉偏干,森林火灾发生频率降低。

Development ofPotamogeton pectinatus in heated water of the Patnowskie Lake

The rate of individual development and biomass of two subpopulations ofPotamogeton pectinatus were measured in the heated and cool zones of the Patnowskie Lake in central Poland.P. pectinatus from the heated zone terminated its vegetation six days earlier than individuals from the cool zone. The rate of plant development and individual plant size from both stands were compared during their whole seasonal life cycle. At the final stage of development, the individuals from the heated zone were smaller than those from the cool zone. The data obtained from the measurements were treated by statistical analysis using the MANOVATEST.     

NUCLEOLAR AGING IN TETRAHYMENA DURING THE CULTURAL GROWTH CYCLE

Nucelolar morphology was studied by electron microscopy in control and actinomycin D-treated populations of Tetrahymena pyriformis (W) during the cultural growth cycle. Nucleoli exhibit an "aging" cycle concomitant with the cultural growth cycle, but independent of the individual cell cycle. Four different stages in the course of this aging process have been defined. Stage 1 occurs upon inoculation (low number of cells per milliliter) and lasts through lag and accelerating growth phases. In this stage, many small nucleoli are found at the nuclear periphery. In stages 2 and 3, nucleolar fusion begins. Stage 2 dominates the first half of logarithmic growth, and stage 3 dominates the second half. In late decelerating growth phase, the nucleoli enter stage 4. In this stage, only a few large nucleoli are present and these are apparently inactive in ribosome production. In stationary phase, where total RNA remains constant, only stage 4 nucleoli are present. The relative preponderance of granular vs. fibrous components in the nucleoli changes during this cycle, the granular component dominating stage 1 nucleoli and the fibrillar, stage 4 nucleoli. There is a shortening of the intermediate nucleolar stages in the treated cultures; fusion occurs early and is now pronounced. Not enough ribosomes accumulate to carry the treated cultures through the number of generations equivalent to those of the control, which produces a premature stationary phase.     

The role of the sexual stage in the over-summering of Erysiphe graminis DC. f.sp. hordei Marchal under semi-arid conditions

The sexual stage of E. graminis f.sp. hordei was found to be functional in Israel, and adapted to the climate of the region. Cleistothecia serve as the principal, and perhaps the only means for persistence of the pathogen in the host-less, hot and rainless summer, and induce initial infection on wild and cultivated barleys in late autumn. The cool and rainy weather, which induces germination of seeds of the host in the field, also permits ascospore differentiation and ejection. Details are given of the conditions favouring or delaying cleistothccial maturation during and after the growing season.     

Geographic variation in embryonic development time and stage of diapause in a grasshopper

Embryonic development times and the stage at which embryonic diapause occurs varied dramatically among 23 populations of the Melanoplus sanguinipes/ devastator species complex in California, USA. Grasshoppers were collected from a wide range of latitudes (32°57N to 41°20N) and altitudes (10m to 3031 m), spanning much of the variation in climatic conditions experienced by these insects in California. When reared in a common garden in the laboratory, total embryonic development times were positively correlated to the mean annual temperature of the habitat from which the grasshoppers were collected (varying from about 19 days to 32 days when reared at 27°C). These grasshoppers overwinter as diapausing eggs and the proportion of embryonic development completed prior to diapause was significantly higher in populations collected from cool habitats (>70%) than in populations collected from warm environments (<26%). The length of pre-diapause development time is determined by the stage of embryonic development at which diapause occurs, and varies considerably among populations of these grasshoppers; grasshoppers from warmer environments tend to diapause at very early stages of embryogenesis, while grasshoppers from cooler environments diapause at very late stages. The combined effect of variation in embryonic development times and variation in the stage at which diapause occurs results in a dramatic reduction in the time needed to hatch in the spring; populations from warm environments required up to 20 days (at 27°C) to hatch while populations from cool environments required as few as 5 days to complete embryonic development prior to hatching. Egg size also varied significantly among populations, but tended to be larger in populations with shorter embryonic development times. Significant family effects were observed for development time and stage of diapause, suggesting significant heritabilities for these traits, although maternal effects may also contribute to family level variation. We interpret these findings to support the hypothesis that embryonic development time and the stage of embryonic diapause have evolved as adaptations to prevailing season lengths in the study populations.     

The Distribution of BrdU- and TUNEL-positive Cells During Odontogenesis in Mouse Lower First Molars

This study investigated the minute distribution of both proliferating and non-proliferating cells, and cell death in the developing mouse lower first molars using 5-bromo-2-deoxyuridine (BrdU) incorporation and the terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase-mediated deoxyuridine-5-triphosphate (dUTP)-biotin nick end labeling (TUNEL) double-staining technique. The distribution pattern of the TUNEL-positive cells was more notable than that of the BrdU-positive cells. TUNEL-positive cells were localized in the following six sites: (1) in the most superficial layer of the dental epithelium during the initiation stage, (2) in the dental lamina throughout the period during which tooth germs grow after bud formation, (3) in the dental epithelium in the most anterior part of the antero-posterior axis of the tooth germ after bud formation, (4) in the primary enamel knot from the late bud stage to the late cap stage, (5) in the secondary enamel knots from the late cap stage to the late bell stage, and (6) in the stellate reticulum around the tips of the prospective cusps after the early bell stage. These peculiar distributions of TUNEL-positive cells seemed to have some effect on either the determination of the exact position of the tooth germ in the mandible or on the complicated morphogenesis of the cusps. The distribution of BrdU-negative cells was closely associated with TUNEL-positive cells, which thus suggested cell arrest and the cell death to be essential for the tooth morphogenesis.     

中国北方晚更新世哺乳动物群与深海沉积物的对比

<正> 前言第四纪以来,全球性冰川的进退、气候的波动、海岸线的变迁,已由许多方面的证据所阐明。晚更新世的大理冰期(即相当欧洲的玉木冰期;北美的威斯康辛冰期)在中国北方地区得到明显的反映。大理冰期持续的时间,一般认为是从75,000年前开始,至10,000年前结束,但在全世界范围内各洲先后也有不同。据研究,这次冰期在其发展的过程中,曾经出现了两个高峰阶段和一个小峰阶段。第一次高峰出现在大约距今60,000年前;第二次高峰出现在距今15,000年至12,000年前;一个小峰约在35,000年前。当冰期处于高峰阶段的时候,气温显著下降,沿海和部分大陆架暴露,海面降低;在亚间冰期和间冰期,气候骤然迴升,海面升高,华北东部地区发生海浸。国内外许多单位通过对海底沉积物所作的古温度测定和对古生物生态学的研究并结合陆相地层中孢子花粉的资料,认为冰期的高峰阶段,地球表面的气温至少比今降低6—8℃;而小峰阶段的气温
