珙桐种子休眠解除和萌发过程中主要抗氧化酶活性和代谢产物含量的变化

珙桐(Davidia involucrata Baill.)种子在休眠解除和萌发过程中,主要的抗氧化酶和代谢产物在有效清除活性氧和保证种子活力方面具有重要作用。研究以马边自然保护区采集的珙桐种子为研究对象,对其从休眠解除进入萌发阶段过程中的主要抗氧化酶的活性和代谢产物含量进行测定和分析。结果显示:层积初期,过氧化物酶(POD)、过氧化氢酶(CAT)、超氧化歧化酶(SOD)和谷胱甘肽还原酶(GR)活性均上升,但总抗氧化能力(T-AOC)下降。可溶性蛋白质(Pr)下降而抗坏血酸(Vc)、游离氨基酸(FAA)含量增大;层积中期,SOD活性和T-AOC呈先升高后下降的变化趋势。尽管CAT和GR活性下降,但POD活性保持较高的水平;层积后期,SOD和CAT活性较低,POD、GR活性和T-AOC,FAA和Vc含量整体呈上升趋势;萌发阶段,各抗氧化酶活性均有显著增加(P0.05),Vc和FAA含量显著增加,Pr含量降低。研究结果表明,珙桐种子可以通过各抗氧化酶活性(POD,CAT,SOD和GR)和代谢产物(Pr,FAA和Vc)间的相互作用,在种子休眠解除和萌发过程中先后有效地消除活性氧对细胞结构完整性的影响,并促进珙桐种子的形态和生理后熟,从而保证种子顺利萌发。     

转反义trxs基因对小麦种子萌发过程中淀粉水解酶的影响

检测转反义trxs基因小麦种子萌发过程中胚乳内α-淀粉酶、β-淀粉酶和支链淀粉酶活性变化的结果表明,在种子萌发4d内,转基因小麦3种酶的活性态酶活性均低于野生型小麦,而3种酶的抑制态酶活性则均高于野生型小麦,转基因小麦淀粉酶的抑制程度高于野生型小麦,这可能是转基因小麦酶活性降低的原因之一。     

巴东木莲种子贮藏和萌发过程中同工酶分析

以贮藏和萌发过程中的巴东木莲种子为材料,采用非变性聚丙烯凝胶电泳技术分析其种子中淀粉酶(AMY)、酯酶(EST)、超氧化物歧化酶(SOD)、过氧化物酶(POD)同工酶酶谱,并测定其酸性磷酸酶(ACP)和POD的活性,以探讨巴东木莲种子休眠和萌发过程中的生理生化变化特征.结果表明:巴东木莲种子在贮藏和萌发过程中,EST和SOD同工酶在萌发过程中表达增强,并不断有新酶的合成;AMY同工酶在萌发初期表达强度高且酶带数较多,到后期表达水平较低,其可能启动并控制种子萌发快慢;POD同工酶在萌发后期酶的活性增强,且酶的种类也增加,与EST和AMY同工酶的变化相适应.巴东木莲种子ACP和POD活性在储藏条件下以干藏种子最低,在萌发过程中总体上随发育进程呈升高的趋势,与同工酶电泳的结果吻合.因此,EST、AMY、SOD和POD同工酶酶谱变化及表达强弱可作为巴东木莲种子萌发各阶段转变的重要标志.     

种子引发提高小麦抗渗透胁迫能力的效应

种子经渗透势-0.8 MPa或-1.2 MPa PEG—6000处理后,抗旱性不同小麦(Triticum aesttvum L．)“晋麦33”和“84G6”种子萌发率均有提高,种子电解质外渗率明显降低,种子萌发适应渗透胁迫能力提高,种子可溶蛋白质含量、PAL和POD活性显著增加,“晋麦33”种子CAT活性增加,两品种幼苗PAL、POD和CAT活性也均有提高,但“84G6”种子CAT活性下降。     

外磁场对小麦萌发期过氧化物酶合成的影响及其激活效应

外磁场处理小麦种子可以提高萌发期过氧化物酶(POD)的活性;电泳图谱中,磁场透发出两条(POD)同工酶新带。在萌发初期(12h),亚胺环己酮(CHM)对外磁场提高POD活性的作用影响很小,外磁场可使POD酶蛋白的比活力增长,表明在萌发初期,磁场对种胚内的POD可能具有活化作用。萌发1d后,CHM逐渐削弱外磁场对POD活性的提高作用,而放线菌素D(AMD)则无影响。     

胡杨种子萌发过程中几种相关酶的活性变化

在室温条件下,胡杨种子保留冠毛贮藏可适当延长其生命力;室温贮藏带冠毛的胡杨种子,前20 d萌发率降低幅度不大.随着种子贮藏时间的延长,过氧化物酶(POD)、过氧化氢酶(CAT)和超氧化物歧化酶(SOD)活性均先上升后下降,峰值出现时间与种子室温贮藏20 d相对应;脱氢酶活性先上升后下降再回升,峰值出现时间也与种子室温贮藏20 d相对应;酸性磷酸酯酶(ACP)活性与种子萌发率同步下降.室温贮藏40 d的带冠毛胡杨种子仍有22.3%的萌发率.

以‘周麦18’为试验材料,采用盆栽法设置盐胁迫、盐胁迫下接菌和对照3组处理,研究不同盐浓度胁迫下接种内生菌对小麦幼苗生长的影响.结果表明: 内生菌252、254分别与死亡谷芽孢杆菌和根癌土壤杆菌具有最高相似率.盐胁迫下接种内生细菌252,在14 d时小麦幼苗随盐浓度升高过氧化物酶(POD)活性先升高后下降,其中盐浓度为100 mmol·L^-1时POD活性最高(13370 U·g^-1·min^-1);21 d时小麦幼苗POD和过氧化氢酶(CAT)活性较对照明显升高;28 d时盐浓度为150、250 mmol·L^-1的POD和CAT活性最高.盐胁迫下接种内生细菌254,在14 d时盐浓度为250 mmol·L^-1的小麦幼苗CAT活性最高;21 d时盐浓度在100～250 mmol·L^-1的POD和CAT活性较高,其中150 mmol·L^-1时CAT活性最高;28 d时盐浓度为200 mmol·L^-1的CAT活性最高.在盐胁迫下,接种内生菌对小麦幼苗不同培养时期发挥最佳作用的盐浓度不同.内生菌252和254可提高盐胁迫下小麦植株POD、CAT活性,对小麦幼苗生长有一定修复作用.     

大豆萌发过程的活性氧代谢

本文研究了大豆萌发过程中活性氧的产生与清除,并探讨了光因子在活性氧代谢中的作用。大豆呼吸强度、O产生速率及H2O2水平都在吸水后第四天达到高峰,然后下降,三者的变化趋势同步。SOD、POD及APX的活性随萌发过程而逐渐增强,最后趋于平稳。SOD同工酶谱中分别于萌发的第二、第三天各出现一条新的酶带。CAT在萌发的初期猛增50倍左右,之后趋于稳定。在三种清除H2O2的酶（CAT、POD、APX）中,CAT清除H2O2的能力远远高于POD与APX,CAT可能是大豆萌发过程中最主要的H2O2清除酶。光萌发时呼吸强度低于暗中萌发,但O产生速率与H2O2水平高于暗萌发,光萌发时O的产生占总耗氧量的1．1—2．7％,而暗中萌发为0．9—1．3％。光条件下SOD、APX活性明显高于暗中萌发,而POD与CAT则在光和暗条件下相差不大。

Synthesis and turnover of cerebrosides and phosphatidylserine of myelin and microsomal fractions of adult and developing rat brain.

The synthesis and turnover of cerebrosides and phospholipids was followed in microsomal and myelin fractions of developing and adult rat brains after an intracerebral injection of [U-14C]serine. The kinetics of incorporation of radioactivity into microsomal and myelin cerebrosides indicate the possibility of a precursor-product relationship between cerebrosides of these membranes. The specific radioactivity of myelin cerebrosides was corrected for the deposition of newly formed cerebrosides in myelin. Multiphasic curves were obtained for the decline in specific radioactivity of myelin and microsomal cerebrosides, suggesting different cerebroside pools in these membranes. The half-life of the fast turning-over pool of cerebrosides of myelin was 7 and 22 days for the developing and adult rat brain respectively. The half-life of the slowly turning-over pool of myelin cerebrosides was about 145 days for both groups of animals. The half-life of the rapidly turning-over microsomal cerebrosides was calculated to be 20 and 40 h for the developing and adult animals respectively. The half-life of the intermediate and slowly turning-over microsomal cerebrosides was 11 and 60 days respectively, for both groups of animals. The amount of incorporation of radioactivity into microsomal cerebrosides from L-serine was greatly decreased in the adult animals, and greater amounts of the precursor were directed towards the synthesis of phosphatidylserine. In the developing animals, considerable amounts of cerebrosides were synthesized from L-serine, besides phosphatidylserine. The time-course of incorporation indicated that a precursor-product relationship exists between microsomal and myelin phosphatidylserine. The half-life of microsomal phosphatidylserine was calculated to be about 8 h for the fast turning-over pool in both groups of animals.     

Identification and composition of the tonsillar and anal enterococcal and streptococcal flora of dogs and cats

Enterococcus faecalis was the most frequently isolated enterococcal species from anal swabs and tonsils of dogs and cats, although in the anal samples from dogs Ent. hirae was found almost as often as Ent. faecalis. Most Ent.faecium strains from dog tonsils differed from those associated with humans and other animals in that they fermented sorbitol. Typical Ent. avium as well as atypical Ent. avium -like strains were seen in dogs, while the related species Ent. raffinosus was associated with cat tonsils. Enterococcus cecorum also occurred mainly in cats. Certain atypical strains, presumptively identified as Ent. cecorum , shared characteristics with Ent. columbae.
The most frequent streptococcal species in tonsils of cats and dogs were Streptococcus suis and Strep. canis. Streptococcus canis and Strep. bovis predominated in anal swabs. The canine Strep. suis differed from the common porcine strains in fermenting mannitol.
Forty-seven of the 288 isolates examined could not be identified or related to known species. The characteristics of two groups of these bacteria, provisionally called 'Ton 31 group' and 'O7 group' are described.     

Molecular characterisation of species and genotypes of Cryptosporidium and Giardia and assessment of zoonotic transmission

The molecular characterisation of species and genotypes of Cryptosporidium and Giardia is essential for accurately identifying organisms and assessing zoonotic transmission. Results of recent molecular epidemiological studies strongly suggest that zoonotic transmission plays an important role in cryptosporidiosis epidemiology. In such cases the most prevalent zoonotic species is Cryptosporidium parvum. Genotyping and subtyping data suggest that zoonotic transmission is not as prevalent in the epidemiology of giardiasis. Molecular characterisation of Cryptosporidium and Giardia is a relatively recent application that is evolving as new genes are found that increase the accuracy of identification while discovering a greater diversity of species and yet unnamed taxa within these two important genera. As molecular data accumulate, our understanding of the role of zoonotic transmission in epidemiology and clinical manifestations is becoming clearer.

Kinetics and thermodynamics of peroxidase- and laccase-catalyzed oxidation of N-substituted phenothiazines and phenoxazines

N -substituted phenothiazines (PTs) and phenoxazines (POs) catalyzed by fungal Coprinus cinereus peroxidase and Polyporus pinsitus laccase were investigated at pH 4–10. In the case of peroxidase, an apparent bimolecular rate constant (expressed as k _cat/K _m) varied from 1 ×10⁷M⁻¹s⁻¹to 2.6×10⁸M⁻¹s⁻¹ at pH 7.0. The constants for PO oxidation were higher in comparison to PT. pH dependence revealed two or three ionizable groups with pK _a values of 4.9–5.7 and 7.7–9.7 that significantly affected the activity of peroxidase. Single-turnover experiments showed that the limiting step of PT oxidation was reduction of compound II and second-order rate constants were obtained which were consistent with the constants at steady-state conditions. Laccase-catalyzed PT and PO oxidation rates were lower; apparent bimolecular rate constants varied from 1.8×10⁵M⁻¹s⁻¹ to 2.0×10⁷M⁻¹s⁻¹ at pH 5.3. PO constants were higher in comparison to PT, as was the case with peroxidase. The dependence of the apparent bimolecular constants of compound II or copper type 1 reduction, in the case of peroxidase or laccase, respectively, was analyzed in the framework of the Marcus outer-sphere electron-transfer theory. Peroxidase-catalyzed reactions with PT, as well as PO, fitted the same hyperbolic dependence with a maximal oxidation rate of 1.6×10⁸M⁻¹s⁻¹ and a reorganization energy of 0.30 eV. The respective parameters for laccase were 5.0×10⁷M⁻¹s⁻¹ and 0.29 eV. Received: 20 September 1999 / Accepted: 24 February 2000
