诱导玉米无融合生殖体的研究

为诱导玉米无融合生殖,用一种物理方法对陕单911F0玉米种子进行了特殊处理,在M2代发现一株显性突变体,其第三雌穗自主结实242粒。M3代播种后得到6株,其中2株仍是第三雌穗自主结实,而其余4株则是第一雌穗自主结实,其自主结实率分别为5．0％、66．6％、87．1％和50．0％。这些自主结实植株的种子饱满,胚和胚乳发育正常,但其种子根和气生根的发育受到不同的影响。由于这4株具有第一雌穗自主结实,并具有短苞叶、黄花丝、细穗轴、紫花药及根系发育差等这些与亲本完全不同的特性,因而表明它们是由突变产生的无融合生殖体。     

超低能离子束注入后番茄的生物学效应

Characterization of<Emphasis Type="Italic">Candida albicans</Emphasis> colony morphological mutants and their hybrids by means of RAPD-PCR,isoenzyme analysis and pathogenicity analysis

A wild-type strain of Candida albicans (S1, ATCC 10261) was used to obtain stable auxotrophic colony morphological mutants (mutant M5 producing only true hyphae and mutant M2 containing 90 % blastospores and 10 % pseudohyphae) by induced mutagenesis. A hybrid was produced by somatic hybridization between these 2 mutants. Out of the isolated 10 clones, 2 stable hybrid clones were chosen and characterized: clone VI. 1M produced rough colonies containing a new, extended cell type (never observed in natural isolates), exhibited unipolar budding, did not form a germ tube, and possessed 12 chromosomal bands. All other features (antifungal and stress sensitivity, adhesion ability, pathogenicity, and isoenzyme and RAPD patterns) were similar to those of mycelial mutant M5. In contrast, the characteristics of clone VI.9S were similar to those of morphological mutant M2.     

A synecological investigation of Matteuccia struthiopteris — dominanted stands in Western Norway

This investigation is based on phytosociological and ecological analyses of stands dominated by M. struthiopteris within its main distributional area in Western Norway. The distribution and floristical composition of such stands are related to different environmental parameters such as regional climate, soil and topography. The data are analysed by numerical methods, of which two-way indicator species analysis (TWINSPAN), canonical correspondence analysis (CCA), and simple discriminant functions (DISCRIM) are the most useful. Few stands occur in areas where the mean July temperature is below 12.0 °C, and where the mean January temperature is higher than 0 °C. The soil is rich in metal cations, with a base saturation mostly higher than 50% in the B-layer. Based on a TWINSPAN classification of the 230 investigated stands, 9 different groups (types) are distinguished. Many stands have a tree layer of Alnus incana, while stands with a canopy of Betula pubescens, Fraxinus excelsior and Ulmus glabra are considered to be marginal sites for M. struthiopteris. The types described are interpreted as belonging to the Pruno padi-Alnetum incanae, Alno incanae-Fraxinetum excelsioris and Alno incanae-Ulmetum glabrae associations within the Alno-Ulmion alliance. The floristic composition of the quadrats is highly correlated with the altitude/temperature gradient. The other important factor is interpreted to be soil moisture. Soil richness is poorly correlated with the floristic composition of the different stands. Several stands represent a regeneration stage after cessation in cultivation, while others appear to have been very little influenced by human activity.

生理pH条件下精氨酸脱亚胺酶的分子改造研究

精氨酸脱亚胺酶（arginine deiminase,EC 3.5.3.6,ADI）因其可作为精氨酸营养缺陷型肿瘤细胞的靶向治疗药物而受到广泛关注. 目前,支原体来源的重组ADI处于肝癌和黑素瘤的三期临床研究阶段. 作为药用酶,当前报道的ADI在体内生理条件下普遍存在酶活低、半衰期短、底物亲和性弱等局限性.本研究结合随机突变及基于理性设计的定点突变两种方法,对研究室前期自主筛选得到的变形假单胞菌Pseudomonas plecoglossicida来源的ADI经一轮定向进化后所获优势突变株M314(A128T/H404R/I410L)进行分子改造.通过对随机突变法获得的1480个突变株进行96孔板高通量筛选,得到优良突变株M173(A128T/H404R/I410L/K272R);同时,基于同源序列比对及ADI蛋白三维结构同源建模,采用PyMOL软件理性预测和分析其活性中心及附近保守区域氨基酸位点对蛋白功能的影响,选择了6个位点D78E、L223I、P230I、S245D、A275N、R400M分别在M314的基础上进行定点突变,最终获得优势突变株M04(A128T/H404R/I410L/S245D). 通过对突变株的酶学性质以及动力学参数分析发现：生理pH值下,突变株M173的酶比活（12.32 U/mg）在M314（9.02 U/mg）的基础上提升3659%,Kcat/Km提高5236%;而突变株M04的最适pH由6.5升高至7.0,更接近体内生理pH,其比酶活（14.66 U/mg）较M314提升62.53 %,Kcat/Km提高了37.12%. 综上结果,本研究结合两种分子改造方法成功地对该ADI在生理pH条件下的酶活和酶学性质进行了改良,并为蛋白质的分子改造策略提供了理论基础和实验依据.     

Fruit Production in Mature and Recently Regenerated Forests of the Appalachians

ABSTRACT Fleshy fruit is a key food resource for both game and nongame wildlife, and it may be especially important for migratory birds during fall and for resident birds and mammals during winter. Land managers need to know how land uses affect the quantities and species of fruit produced in different forest types and how fruit production varies seasonally and as young stands mature. During June 1999-April 2004, we quantified fleshy fruit abundance monthly in 31 0.1-ha plots in 2 silvicultural treatments: 1) young 2-age stands with low basal area retention, created by shelterwood-with-reserves regeneration cuts (R; harvested 1998–1999); and 2) uncut mature closed-canopy stands (M) in 2 common southern Appalachian, USA, forest types (upland hardwood and cove hardwood [CH] forests). Over the 5-year study period, total dry pulp biomass production was low and relatively constant in both M forest types (x̄ = 0.5-2.0 kg/ha). In contrast, fruit production increased each year in R, and it was 5.0 to 19.6 times greater in R than in M stands beginning 3–5 years postharvest. Two disturbance-associated species, pokeweed (Phytolacca americana) and blackberry (Rubus allegheniensis), produced a large proportion of fruit in R but showed different patterns of establishment and decline. Huckleberry (Gaylussacia ursina) recovered rapidly after harvest and was a major producer in both silvicultural treatments and forest types each year. Several herbaceous species that are not associated with disturbance produced more fruit in CHR. Few species produced more fruit in M than in R. Fruit production by most tree species was similar between R and M, due to fruiting by stump sprouts in R within 1–3 years postharvest. Fruit availability was highest during summer and early fall. American holly (Ilex opaca), sumac (Rhus spp.), and greenbriar (Smilax spp.) retained fruit during winter months but were patchy in distribution. In the southern Appalachians, young recently regenerated stands provide abundant fruit compared to mature forest stands and represent an important source of food for wildlife for several years after harvest. Fruit availability differs temporally and spatially because of differences in species composition, fruiting phenology, and the dynamic process of colonization and recovery in recently harvested stands. Land managers could enhance fruit availability for many game and nongame species by creating or maintaining young stands within forests.     

大肠杆菌PGDH末端缺失突变体的构建及抗反馈抑制效应分析

为了获得具有抗反馈抑制性质的大肠杆菌磷酸甘油酸脱氢酶（PGDH, d-3-phosphoglycerate dehydrogenase, EC 1.1.1.95）,通过对其碱基序列和蛋白质结构分析,用PCR突变法构建突变酶M1（缺失第410位氨基酸）、M2（缺失407~410位氨基酸）、M3（缺失337~410位氨基酸）。M0(野生型)及各突变型基因与pET22b(+)载体连接后,表达融合蛋白。在非变性条件下,由NTA-Ni镍离子螯合亲和层析柱纯化野生型和突变体的酶蛋白。酶活性测定结果表明,M1、M2蛋白酶均保持了原有的野生型磷酸甘油酸脱氢酶活性,且部分解除了终产物L-丝氨酸的反馈抑制作用;M3蛋白酶完全解除了终产物的反馈抑制作用,但酶本身的催化活性略有降低（为野生型的83%）。M0、M1、M2菌株PGDH与L-丝氨酸结合的Ki值分别约为7 μmol/L、20 μmol/L、50 μmol/L,说明该酶C-末端1~4个氨基酸残基对L-丝氨酸和调控区的结合有重要影响。     

The older plant gets the sun: Age‐related changes in Miscanthus × giganteus phenology

Age‐related changes are usually overlooked in perennial grass research; when they are considered it is usually as a change in plant size (e.g., biomass). Whether other physiological or developmental aspects change as stands age, and how those aspects may impact long‐term stand dynamics, remains unclear. Conventional experimental designs study a single stand over multiple growing seasons and thereby confound age‐related changes with growing season conditions. Here we used a staggered‐start experimental design with three repeated planting years over two growing seasons to isolate growing season effects. We studied changes in Miscanthus × giganteus phenology during its yield‐building stage (first 3 years) and estimated age, growing season and nitrogen (N) effects on development using nonlinear regression parameters. Stand age clearly changed plant growth; faster developmental rates were usually seen in 1‐year‐old stands (young), but because 2‐ and 3‐year‐old stands (mature) emerged 3 months earlier than newly planted stands they produced 30% more stems with 30%–60% more leaves. Nitrogen fertilization modulated some age‐related phenological changes. Fertilized 2‐year‐old stands reached similar stem densities as unfertilized 3‐year‐old stands and had fewer number of senesced leaves like 1‐year‐old stands. In addition, N fertilization had no effect on young M. × giganteus, but extended mature stands’ growing season more than 2 weeks by hastening emergence and delaying senescence. It also delayed flowering regardless of stand age. Our results suggest that, along with changes in size, M. × giganteus stands showed shifts in developmental strategies: young stands emerged later and developed faster, while mature stands grew for longer but more slowly. In temperate regions, where hard frost events are likely to interrupt development in late autumn, rapid early development is critical to plant survival. Nonlinear regression parameter differences proved effective in identifying phenological shifts.     

Comparative evaluation of the Oxoid Salmonella Rapid Test with three other rapid salmonella methods

Stable auxotrophic mutants were isolated by N-methyl-N'-nitro-N-nitrosoguanidine treatment of Mycobacterium fortuitum NIHJ 1615, M. smegmatis NIHJ 1628 and M. vaccae NIHJ 1637. The number of stable mutants obtained were 0.17, 0.46 and 0.02% of the surviving mutagenized cells screened for the three species, respectively. Mutants differed from their parents in a single nutritional requirement except in the case of SM29, a mutant of M. fortuitum , and SM33, a mutant of M. smegmatis , which differed from their parents in two auxotrophic traits.     

Biosynthesis of Biotin-vitamers from Oleic Acid by Cryptococcus neoformans

Chitosanase (ChoA) from Mitsuaria chitosanitabida 3001 was successfully evolved with secretion efficiency and thermal stability. The inactive ChoA mutant (G151D) gene was used to mutate by an error-prone PCR technique and mutant genes that restored chitosanase activity were isolated. Two desirable mutants, designated M5S and M7T, were isolated. Two amino acids, Leu74 and Val75, in the signal peptide of ChoA were changed to Gln and Ile respectively in the M7T mutant, in addition to the G151D mutation. The L74Q/V75I double ChoA mutant was 1.5-fold higher in specific activity than wild-type ChoA due to efficient secretion of ChoA. One amino acid Asn222 was changed to Ser in the M5S mutant in addition to the G151D mutation. The N222S single ChoA mutant was 1.2-fold higher in specific activity and showed a 17% increase in thermal stability at 50 °C as compared with wild-type ChoA. This is the first study to achieve an evolutional increase in enzyme capability among chitosanses.
