Cell-wall synthesis in Chlorella vulgaris, an autospore-forming alga, was observed using the cell wall-specific fluorescent dye Fluostain I. The observation suggested two clearly distinguishable stages in cell-wall synthesis: moderate synthesis during the cell-growth process and rapid synthesis at the cell-division stage. We used electron microscopy to examine the structural changes that occurred with growth in the premature daughter cell wall during the cell-growth and cell-division phases. The cell began to synthesize a new daughter cell wall shortly after its release from the autosporangium. A very thin daughter cell wall, with a thickness of about 2 nm, was formed inside the mother cell wall and completely enveloped the outer surface of the plasma membrane of the cell. The daughter cell wall gradually increased in thickness from 2 to 3.8 nm. During the protoplast-division phase in the cell-division stage, the daughter cell wall expanded on the surface of the invaginating plasma membrane of the cleavage furrow, accompanied by active synthesis of the cell wall, which increased in thickness from 3.8 to 6.1 nm. The daughter cell matured into an autospore while completely enclosed by its own thickening (from 6.1 to 17 nm) wall. Finally, the released daughter cell was enclosed by its own cell wall after the mother cell wall burst. The daughter cell with mature wall thickness (17–21 nm) emerged as a small, but complete, autospore. 相似文献

Activity patterns of Japanese monkeys (Macaca fuscata) were observed for 240 hr from August to December 1976 on the western slope of Mt. Kuniwari, Yakushima Island, Japan. Activity
patterns and the time budget of a habituated wild troop which consisted of 47 animals in August 1976, were studied quantitatively
by using the scan-sampling method at 15-min intervals. Six thousand seven hundred and six animals were recorded in 959 scans
during the study period and the mean number of animals seen per scan was 7.0. The time budget established for different categories
of activity was as follows: inactive—20.9%; moving—22.8%; feeding—23.5%; social grooming—27.9%; self-grooming—1.2%; and other
activities—3.7%. Adult males spent less time in feeding and more time in resting or being inactive than females or juveniles.
The daily activity patterns were highly variable with respect to time. Intraspecific variations were examined between troops
in several regions of Japan and it was noted that the percentages of time devoted to feeding were similar in all areas.
Inter-species variations in the activity budgets of several species of primates were also examined. The percentage of time
spent in social grooming by Japanese monkeys is exceptionally high compared to that recorded in other species. 相似文献

The aim of the present study was to develop and evaluate a buccal adhesive tablet containing ondansetron hydrochloride (OH).
Special punches and dies were fabricated and used while preparing buccal adhesive tablets. The tablets were prepared using
carbopol (CP 934), sodium alginate, sodium carboxymethylcellulose low viscosity (SCMC LV), and hydroxypropylmethylcellulose
(HPMC 15cps) as mucoadhsive polymers to impart mucoadhesion and ethyl cellulose to act as an impermeable backing layer. The
formulations were prepared by direct compression and characterized by different parameters such as weight uniformity, content
uniformity, thickness, hardness, swelling index, in vitro drug release studies, mucoadhesive strength, and ex vivo permeation study. As compared with the optimized formulation composed of OH—5 mg, CP 934—30 mg, SCMC LV—165 mg, PEG 6000—40 mg,
lactose—5 mg, magnesium stearate—1.5 mg, and aspartame—2 mg, which gave the maximum release (88.15%), non-bitter (OH) that
form namely ondansetron base and complexed ondansetron was used in order to make the selected formulation acceptable to human.
The result of the in vitro release studies and permeation studies through bovine buccal mucosa revealed that complexed ondansetron gave the maximum
release and permeation. The stability of drug in the optimized adhesive tablet was tested for 6 h in natural human saliva;
both the drug and device were found to be stable in natural human saliva. Thus, buccal adhesive tablet of ondansetron could
be an alternative route to bypass the hepatic first-pass metabolism and to improve the bioavailability of (OH). 相似文献

Megagametogenesis of soybean, Glycine max (L.) Merr., cultivars Clark and Clark k2, and F1 hybrid of Clark (female parent) crossed with Clark k2 (male parent) were studied using stereo light microscopy and confocal scanning laser microscopy. Reproductive development
in Clark and Clark k2 plants was compared to F1 hybrid plants. In mature pods, 6.4% of the ovules of Clark, 8.1% of the ovules of Clark k2, and 41.4% of the ovules of F1 hybrid plants were aborted. This female partial sterility was due to incomplete megagametophyte
development: undeveloped polar nuclei—or developed but not in a position for fertilization; increased megagametophyte wall
thickness; abnormal shape and/or premature degeneration of synergids and intact synergids throughout the life of the ovule;
egg cell not well-developed or absent; and megagametophyte remaining uninucleate. Each of these abnormalities contributed
to either lack of double fertilization or early megagametophyte abortion.

Although it is an anatomical folivore, the diet of the Milne-Edwards’ sifaka (Propithecus diadema edwardsiA. Grandidier, 1871) in Ranomafana National Park contained 35% seeds, 30% whole fruit, and 28% leaves. Plant species used as seed sources
differed from those used as whole fruit sources in terms of temporal variation in consumption, taxonomic affiliation, morphology,
and phenology. Although seeds were destroyed in both exploitation styles used by the sifakas—seed and whole fruit-eating—the
gross morphology of species used as seed sources conformed to the complex of traits typical for fruits experiencing seed predation,
while species used as whole fruit sources conformed to traits typical for fruits that do not experience predispersal predation.
Many of the 19 plant species from which the seed was extracted and eaten contained a single seed with moderate testa thickness,
and fruits containing this type of seed were medium-sized with dry or fibrous flesh, moderate skin thickness, and a dull color.
In contrast, brightly colored, juicy fruits with minimally protected seeds were characteristic of the 38 plant species from
which both pericarp and seed were eaten. Compared to transectwide measures of fruit availability or patterns restricted to
whole fruit sources, fewer species of seed sources produced fruit per month and fruiting activity was more seasonal. 相似文献

Structural cell wall proteins and their immobilisation through formation of covalent cross-links belong to important defense
response mechanisms. In this work, the D. applanata — induced increase of wall-bound proline and hydroxyproline contents were associated with red raspberry resistance. The effect
did not depend on the developmental stage and lignification degree of infected primocanes. Pathogen-induced accumulation of
hydroxyproline noted in susceptible plants suggested the post-translational hydroxylation of proline-rich proteins and/or
may be of other wall proteins. Moreover, the developmentally related increase of hydroxyproline content was associated with
the resistance acquirement noted at the end of the summer period. The increase of cell wall structural protein levels was
accompanied by free proline accumulation in the cytosol fraction. 相似文献

I investigated the activity budget and diet of Yakushima macaques (Macaca fuscata yakui,)in warm temperate broad- leaved forest of Yakushima, Japan. Both time spent feeding and time spent moving varied considerably
between half- months. However, total time spent in active behaviors— feeding time plus moving time— was stable. The composition
of the diet also showed considerable variation between half- months. The macaques fed mainly on fruits, seeds,mature leaves, fallen seeds, flowers, and young leaves, each of which accounted for more than 30% of feeding time in at least
1 half- month. They also ate insects and fungi, but each of them comprised ≤ 25 and ≤ 8% of feeding time in any half- month,
respectively. Time spent feeding on mature leaves, young leaves, flowers, or fallen seeds is positively correlated with total
time feeding and is negatively correlated with time moving. In contrast, time feeding on fruits, seeds, insects or fungi is
negatively correlated with time feeding and is positively correlated with time moving. Foraging on foods that have a low energy
content, a high density, and a relatively even distribution— mature leaves— or that need much manipulation to be processed—
flowers and fallen seeds— increased feeding time, while foraging on foods for which monkeys must search intensively in the
forest— fruits, seeds, insects, and fungi— led to increased moving time. I examined foraging strategies of Yakushima macaques
in terms of moving costs and the quality of food items. Regarding time feeding on fruits, which have more energy and may need
less manipulation than other foods, as a benefit, and moving time as a cost, they seemed to employ a strategy that balanced
the costs and benefits of foraging. 相似文献

Summary The genome structure of the temperateRhizobium meliloti phage and the attachment site of this phage on the host chromosome were examined by genetic means. The heat-sensitive mutants
used in 2 and 3 point crosses gave a linear chromosome map. There was no evidence for map circularity. The immunity region
has a distal position on the phage chromosome. The functional grouping of the used 23 phage mutants was made byin vivo andin vitro complementation tests and 20 cistrons were obtained. The cistrons, near to the immunity region, were identified as early
genes, the remaining ones as morphogenetic cistrons. The latter inin vitro complementation tests gave two complementing groups, presumably as head and tail donors. The attachment site of the prophage
on the host chromosome was localized by pulse mutagen treatments in synchronously replicating cultures. The sequence of markers

Summary A combination of the PAP- and ABC-techniques was developed to enhance the intensity of the immunocytochemical staining with
monoclonal antibodies at light and electron microscopical levels. This amplification technique could be performed in 4 (single
PAP + ABC) or 6 (double PAP + ABC) sequential steps depending on the quality of the primary antibodies used and the processing
of the tissue before the immunocytochemical reaction:
First step — Incubation of the tissue sections with the monoclonal primary antibodies; Second step — biotinylated anti-rat or anti-mouse IgG; Third step — monoclonal PAP complex; Fourth step — ABC complex which binds to the biotinylated secondary antibody. If stronger enhancement of the immunostaining has required
the steps 2 and 3 could be repeated followed by the 6th step — the ABC complex.
Choline acetyltransferase-like immunoreactivity of the rat hypoglossal nucleus and desmin- and vimentin-like immunoreactivity
of human testis were studied. After the 4-and more pronounced the 6-step reaction a significant increase of the staining intensity
was observed for all the reactions under study. ChAT-like immunoreactivity was observed to longer distances of the nerve cell
dendrites after their emerging from the perikarya and within a greater number of structures in the neuropil as compared to
the standard techniques. At electron microscopical level the technique permits longer fixation of the tissue which is important
for the better preservation of the ultrastructure as well as for the easier recognition of the reaction product even in the
smallest dendrite branches and the axons of the nerve cells. Stronger staining intensity was obtained for desmin-like immunoreactivity
(LI) (within myofibroblasts of the lamina propria and muscle cells of the blood vessels)-and vimentin-LI (within Sertoli cells,
myofibroblasts of the lamina propria and fibroblasts of the interstitium) of the human testis. The full combination (6 step-reaction)
permits the detection of smallest quantities of an antigen in sections of different tissues using highly diluted primary antibodies.
The technique represents a further alternative among the immunocytochemical amplification methods. 相似文献

A peculiar inward growth, named a “cell wall sac”, formed in mulberry (Morus alba) idioblasts, is a subcellular site for production of calcium carbonate crystals. On the basis of ultrastructural observations,
a fully expanded cell wall sac could be divided into two parts—an amorphous complex consisting of multi-layered compartments
with multiple fibers originating from the innermost cell wall layer, and a peripheral plain matrix with fiber aggregates.
Immunofluorescent localization showed that low and highly esterified pectin epitopes were detected at the early stages of
development of the cell wall sac, followed by complete disappearance from the both parts of fully enlarged mature sac. In
contrast, the xyloglucan epitope remained in the compartment complex; this was supported by the observation that the xyloglucan
epitope labeled with immuno-gold particles is found on fibers in the complex part. 相似文献

Rice BRITTLE CULM 3 (BC3) encodes a classical dynamin OsDRP2B essential for proper secondary cell wall synthesis 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1

“Brittle culm” mutants found in Gramineae crops are suitable materials to study the mechanism of secondary cell wall formation.
Through positional cloning, we have identified a gene responsible for the brittle culm phenotype in rice, brittle culm 3 (bc3). BC3 encodes a member of the classical dynamin protein family, a family known to function widely in membrane dynamics. The bc3 mutation resulted in reductions of 28–36% in cellulose contents in culms, leaves, and roots, while other cell wall components
remained unaffected. Reductions of cell wall thickness and birefringence were observed in both fiber (sclerenchyma) and parenchymal
cells, together with blurring of the wall’s layered structures. From promoter-GUS analyses, it was suggested that BC3 expression is directly correlated with active secondary cell wall synthesis. These results suggest that BC3 is tightly involved
in the synthesis of cellulose and is essential for proper secondary cell wall construction. 相似文献

General diffusion pores and specific porin channels from outer membranes of gram-negative bacteria were reconstituted into
lipid bilayer membranes. The current noise of the channels was investigated for the different porins in the open state and
in the ligand-induced closed state using fast Fourier transformation. The open channel noise exhibited 1/f-noise for frequencies up to 200 Hz. The 1/f-noise was investigated using the Hooge formula (Hooge, Phys. Lett.
29A: 139–140 (1969)), and the Hooge parameter α was calculated for all bacterial porins used in this study. The 1/f-noise was in part caused by slow inactivation and activation of porin channels. However, when care was taken that during
the noise measurement no opening or closing of porin channels occurred, the Hooge Parameter α was a meaningful number for a given channel. A linear relationship was observed between α and the single-channel
conductance, g, of the different porins. This linear relation between single-channel conductance and the Hooge parameter α could be qualitatively explained by assuming that the passing of an ion through a bacterial porin channel is—to
a certain extent—influenced by nonlinear effects between channel wall and passing ion.

AFM Investigations of Cellulose Fibers in Bintje Potato (Solanum tuberosum L.) Cell Wall Fragments 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Atomic force microscopy (AFM) has been used to image the cellulose networks in moist fragments of the cell walls of Bintje potato (Solanum tuberosum L.). The interfiber spacing in hydrated native cell wall fragments was found to be 26.2 nm. This value is consistent with published estimates of the contour length of xyloglucan cross-links determined by transmission electron microscopy (TEM) studies of cell walls. Sequential extraction of the pectin using CDTA and Na2CO3 led to shrinkage of the cell wall fragment and a reduction in interfiber spacing to 20.2 nm. Partial extraction of xyloglucan using 1 M KOH caused a small decrease in interfiber spacing to 19.5 nm. Finally, the almost complete removal of xyloglucan with 4 M KOH substantially reduced the interfiber spacing to 11 nm. The results are consistent with a model for the cell wall in which the cellulose–xyloglucan network is immersed in a swollen, hydrated pectin network. 相似文献

The olfactory epithelium of two closely related species of snowtrout—Schizothoraichthys progastus McClelland andSchizothorax richardsonii Gray (Subfamily: Schizothoracinae. family-Cyprinidae, Teleostei), from a perennial glacier-fed river Mandakini of Garhwal
hills was studied by employing transmission electron microscopic method The olfactory lamella comprises two epithelia—anterior
and posterior, with a stroma sandwiched in between. Both are strartified. The anterior one is thicker than posterior. InSchizothoraichithys progastus, the sensory part of epithelium has two types of receptor cells—ciliated receptor cells and rod cells whilst inSchizothorax richardsonii, there arc three types of receptor cells—ciliated receptor cells, microvillous receptor cells and rod cells in addition to
sustentacular cells, basal cells and mucous cells. While inhabiting similar hillstream habitat, the differential ecological
niches, feeding habits etc., account for the presence of different receptor cell types in these species, It implies the possible
diversification at cellular and physiological levels so as to minimize the competition by using varied olfactory cues. 相似文献

An ultrastructural comparison of the cell envelopes of selected strains of Nocardia asteroides and Nocardia brasiliensis 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
Growth curves were determined for three strains each ofNocardia asteroides andNocardia brasiliensis. Two strains ofN. brasiliensis and one strain ofN. asteroides had longer lag periods of growth than the remaining three strains. All strains had generation times of approximately 5.5 hours.The ultrastructure of the cell envelope of eachNocardia strain in early stationary phase growth was also examined. All the strains had typical trilaminar cell walls and cell membranes. The thickness of the cell wall layers, especially the inner peptidoglycan layer, varied from strain to strain. The inner layer of two strains ofN. brasiliensis and one strain ofN. asteroides was 12 nm or more in thickness, while that of the remaining three strains was 7 nm thick. These observed differences in growth patterns and/or thickness of the cell wall layers could be correlated to the varying degress of virulence as well as the divergent pathologies exhibited by these organisms. 相似文献

Some evidence of the existence of an ancient pharmacological theory—the Doctrine of Signatures—has been found in the folk
medicine of Israel. The research reported 14 plants with folk medicinal uses based on the Doctrine of Signatures categories
including: similarity of the plant or plant organ to the damaged human organ (Alhagi maurorum, camel thorn;Astragalus macrocarpus, milk-vetch; andCynoglossum creticum, blue hound’s tongue), similarity to animal shape or behavior (Heliotropium europaeum, European turnsole;Asteriscus spinosus, starwort; andBriza maxima, large quaking grass), similarity of plant color to the color of the disease’s symptoms or the medical phenomena (Rhamnus alaternus, Italian buckthorn;Citrullus colocynthis, bitter gourd; andEcballium elaterium, squirting cucumber), and similarity of plant habitat or characteristic to human features (Parietaria judaica, wall pellitory; andRuta chalepensis, African rue). 相似文献

Summary A tri-lamellar body has been observed either near or adjacent to the crosswalls in 16 out of 20 different isolates ofAnabaena examined in thin sections. These bodies appear to consist of three discoid lamellae approximately 0.3 m in diameter. The outer lamella (closest to the plasma membrane) is separated from the middle lamella by a 12 nm space and is about 8 nm in thickness. The middle and inner lamellae, spaced about 8 nm apart, are approximately 8 nm in thickness. Electron dense granules, interpreted to be -granules, are associated with the inner lamella. In different species, osmiophilic lines 3 nm wide were observed. The osmiophilic lines run at right angles to the lamellae, either between the outer and middle lamellae, between the middle and inner lamellae or between all three lamellae. In some species, osmiophilic lines are absent. Up to six tri-lamellar bodies have been observed in median longitudinal sections. Pores 20 nm in diameter and 60 nm apart were observed in layer 2 of the cell wall of all the species ofAnabaena examined. All species which had tri-lamellar bodies also had wall pores closely associated with the bodies. Wall pores were also observed in four species lacking tri-lamellar bodies. The possible role of these structures is discussed. 相似文献

The shallow soils of Pianosa—a small calcareous island in the Mediterranean Sea, facing Tuscany, central Italy—developed under
the same pedogenic factors with the exception of vegetation and, in the last two centuries, human impact. Originally, they
were covered by “macchia,” a tangled mix of bushy species, or, in a few more fertile sites, by Quercus ilex L. Currently there are six land uses on the island: (1) pristine macchia, (2) groves of Olea europaea L. totally reinvaded by macchia, (3) degraded residual thickets of Q. ilex, (4) cropland, (5) recently abandoned pastures, and (6) stands of Pinus halepensis Mill. The related soils were analysed by solid-state cross polarisation/magic angle spinning 13C-nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) to compare the spectroscopic properties of their organic pool. The prevalence of O-alkyl C over other C forms is evident in all cases, while there is large variability with respect to the alkyl C to aromatic
C ratio between both the different soils, and the horizons of a same soil. On the whole, the results show that on Pianosa
Island, human impact has profoundly altered not only the amount but also the quality of soil organic matter (SOM). The SOM
residual of the dichromate oxidation in the Walkley–Black method—a widely used method to measure soil organic C—was also analysed
by NMR. It comprised almost exclusively alkyl C and aromatic C, as a result of the removal of carbonyl and O-alkyl C. Most of the aromatic C seems to belong to charcoal. 相似文献

The structure of root-associated bacterial populations in the legume common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.), was studied in plants grown under nitrogen sufficiency and under conditions inducing nitrogen deficiency. Similar cell
numbers were obtained in the rhizosphere of nitrogen-amended plants as compared to nitrogen-deficient plants and between various
root parts—tip, elongation and branching zones—using DAPI staining. In contrast, a higher proportion of DAPI-stained cells
from the nitrogen-amended plants hybridized with a fluorescence-labeled EUB338 probe for theBacteria domain than cells originating from nitrogen-deficient plants. Shifts in the percentages of EUB338-reactive cells—as well
as in absolute cell number—hybridizing to fluorescent rRNA-directed probes specific for the α and γProteobacteria and for high GC content gram-positive bacteria in separated root segments were detected between the treatments. No such differences
were found using β and δProteobacteria or rRNA group I pseudomonad targeted probes. Denaturating gradient gel electrophoresis profiles of PCR products obtained
from the same samples and amplified withBacteria-domain targeted primers supported the results obtained with the whole cell hybridizations. The advantages and drawbacks of
the techniques applied are discussed. 相似文献
