硝酸盐对球形棕囊藻生长和硝酸还原酶活性的影响

以我国南海海域分离的赤潮原因种——球形棕囊藻(Phaeocystis globosa)为材料, 研究了不同硝酸盐浓度下藻细胞生长及硝酸还原酶活性的变化。当培养基中不含硝酸盐时, 藻细胞内硝酸还原酶的活性保持在非常低的水平, 藻细胞的生长受到限制, 不能形成正常的生长曲线: 当培养基中硝酸盐浓度为3.62 mmol.L-1时, 藻细胞的硝酸还原酶活性和比生长速率达到最大。在含有硝酸盐的培养基中, 接种培养后第9天藻细胞硝酸还原酶活性达到最大值, 并且在4种不同硝酸盐浓度下, 藻细胞硝酸还原酶活性的差异性达到极显著水平(P<0.01)。在接种培养第16天藻细胞密度达到最大值, 并且4种不同硝酸盐浓度培养的藻细胞密度之间的差异性也达到极显著水平(P<0.01)。实验结果表明, 在培养基中添加不同浓度的硝酸盐, 对球形棕囊藻细胞硝酸还原酶的活性和藻细胞的生长有极显著的影响, 含有较高硝酸盐的富营养化海域有利于球形棕囊藻细胞的持续生长。

铝对玉米生长和硝酸还原酶活性的影响

测定了生长在Al2（SO4）100μmol／L氮素营养液中的两个玉米品种（SC704和VA35的根系和叶片）的NADH-硝酸还原酶（EC1．6．6．）和NAD（P）H-硝酸还原酶（EC1．6．6．2）活性。结果表明铝的存在阻碍了玉米根系和叶片的生长、降低了营养液的pH值,降低了叶片的NADH-及NAD（P）H-硝酸还原酶活性（酶活性降低的程度SC704低于VA35）,增加了根系的NADH-和NAD（P）H-硝酸还原酶活性（VA35根系的比活性除外）。铝胁迫下根系的NADH-和NAD（P）H-硝酸还原酶活性的增加SC704大于VA35。耐铝品种SC704的高NR活性以及在铝胁迫下能维持更高的NR活性的特点说明硝酸还原酶与植物组织的Al解毒机制有关。同时,在铝胁迫下的硝酸盐代谢中NAD（P）H-硝酸还原酶具有更重要的作用。     

小白菜光合性能与硝酸还原酶活性关系的研究

对营养液培养条件下的6个不同基因型小白菜幼苗在不同光照度和硝酸还原酶抑制剂Na_2WO_4处理下的光合参数、硝酸盐含量和硝酸还原酶活性(NRA)进行分析,以明确小白菜光合性能与NRA的关系.结果发现:随着光照强度的增强,小白菜NRA极显著增强,其硝酸盐含量则显著降低,并且基因型间有显著差异;Na_2WO_4处理能使小白菜的NRA和净光合速率显著降低,而对其叶绿素含量、气孔导度、胞间CO_2浓度和蒸腾速率无显著影响.研究表明,光照度是制约小白菜幼苗硝酸还原酶活性和硝酸盐含量的重要因素之一,小白菜幼苗的硝酸还原酶活性与其净光合速率有密切关系,但对其他光合参数无直接影响.     

植物中硝酸还原酶和亚硝酸还原酶的作用

植物通过硝酸盐同化途径以硝酸盐和氨的形式吸收氮元素。硝酸盐的同化是一个受到严格控制的过程,其中两个先后参加反应的酶——硝酸还原酶(NR)和亚硝酸还原酶(NiR)对初级氮的同化起主要调控。在高等植物中,NR和NiR基因的转录及转录后加工受到各种内在和外在因素的影响,翻译后调控是消除亚硝酸盐积累的重要机制。随着分子生物学技术的发展,可以更容易地通过突变体和转基因方式来研究NR和NiR基因的调控。     

不同硝酸盐含量菠菜品种的生理差异分析

采用营养液栽培方式,以4个硝酸盐含量有显著差异的菠菜品种为材料,测定其生长指标（株高、主根长、株幅、柄长、干鲜重和叶面积）、光合色素（叶绿素a、b及类胡萝卜素）含量、光合作用参数(实际光化学量子产率、表观光合电子传递率、光化学猝灭系数、非光化学猝灭系数)、硝酸根吸收速率和硝酸还原酶活性等,研究不同硝酸盐含量基因型品种的生理差异。结果显示：（1）不同基因型菠菜叶片的硝酸盐含量始终存在着巨大差异,且硝酸盐含量与生物量之间没有明显的相关关系,在同样的栽培条件下,生物量大的品种并不代表其硝酸盐含量低。（2）高硝酸盐含量基因型菠菜品种的光合色素含量较低,光合作用效率较差,硝酸吸收速率较高,硝酸还原酶活性较低;而低硝酸盐含量基因型菠菜品种的光合色素含量较高,光合作用较强,硝酸吸收速率较低,硝酸还原酶活性较高。（3）低硝酸盐含量基因型品种SL 06 13的综合评价最好,可以作为选育低硝酸含量菠菜品种的材料。研究表明,菠菜硝酸盐含量的基因型差异产生的原因可能是受硝酸盐吸收和转运的共同影响。     

硝酸盐和硫酸盐的同化过程

植物吸收硝酸盐后,要经过硝酸还原酶和亚硝酸还原酶的催化还原代氨。硝酸盐还原成的氨或直接从个外界吸收的铵盐的氨进一步同化成全内多种有机含氮化合物。植物吸收硫酸盐后,经过活化,还原,参与含硫氨基酸等的合成。     

曼陀罗培养细胞的硝酸还原酶突变株

经紫外诱变氯酸钾筛选,得到一个低硝酸还原酶(NADH:硝酸氧化还原酶.EC1.6.6.1.,以下简写为NR)活力的细胞株。其主要特征:NR活力低,约为正常型的1/5;对氯酸钾具有较强的抗性;不适合在单纯以硝酸盐为氮源的培养基上生长,能在以(NH_4)_2SO_4为唯一氮源的培养基上生长。蛋白电泳表明,此细胞株与正常型有不同的蛋白带。这些特征在没有选择压力的培养基上培养二年后,仍保持不变,说明此细胞株是一个遗传型的变异株。

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.

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.
