珍珠颜色和贝壳珍珠层颜色研究进展

颜色及其色度均一性是衡量珍珠价值的重要指标之一。珍珠颜色及贝壳珍珠层颜色的研究涉及多个学科领域,研究表明,珍珠的颜色与制片蚌外套膜对应的珍珠层颜色相一致,而蚌的珍珠层颜色主要由遗传因素决定。现有的研究资料对珍珠层颜色形成的机理虽然还不能给出一个系统、合理的诠释,但金属元素、卟啉、类胡萝卜素和物理结构等因素可能和珍珠层颜色形成密切相关,珍珠层中含有少量以蛋白质为主的有机基质,这些蛋白调控珍珠层的结构和颜色的形成,可能是解释珍珠层颜色形成机理的关键。本文对珍珠颜色和贝壳珍珠层颜色研究进展进行系统综述,探讨珍珠颜色的影响因素及相互关联,旨在为进一步研究珍珠和贝壳珍珠层颜色提供借鉴与思路。     

硫酸铜对三角帆蚌的珍珠质量及外套膜与珍珠囊细胞的影响

不同浓度的硫酸铜采用不同时间处理三角帆蚌,发现硫酸铜对珍珠的光泽影响很大,使骨珠的百分率上升,其上升幅度与硫酸鲷折浓度大小４及处理时间的长短有相关性。外套膜与珍珠囊细胞也受到损伤,并显示出一定的浓度梯度差异,硫酸铜处理３５ｄ,珍珠囊表皮细胞萎缩、高度参差不齐、甚至溃烂;外套膜内表皮细胞形态破坏较外表皮严重,其大颗粒细胞数目以及酸性粘多糖减少;外表皮细胞的中性粘多糖减少,而酸性粘多糖的比例有所上升;     

淡水育珠蚌体外培养外套膜细胞分泌的珍珠质的性质研究

对淡水育珠蚌分泌珍珠质的外表皮进行组织培养,取培养不同时间的培养基,用氨基酸分析仪对其氨基酸测定的结果与空白培养基作比较,其中珍珠所含的各种氨基酸均增加,尤其是珍珠中含量最高的丙氨酸,甘氨酸和谷氨酸增加最多,珍珠药用有效成分之一的牛磺酸,随组织培养时间的延长而逐渐增加,用等离子光谱测定培养组织匀浆液与未培养比较,钙的含量也大为增加,结果表明,离体组织培养分泌的珍珠质的化学成分和性质与活体基本相同。     

“珍珠之乡”——中国珍珠养殖业介绍

我国自古以来便是珍珠养殖大国,早在大约1000年前就有养殖珍珠的记录。宋代的庞元英曾在《文昌杂录》（1082年）中记载：“礼部侍郎谢景温云：有一养珠法,以今所作假珠,择光莹圆润者,取稍大蚌蛤,以清水浸之,伺其开口,急以珠投之,频换清水,夜置月中,蚌蛤采玩月华,此经两秋即成珠矣”。可见当时的中国人已经对珍珠养殖技术有了最初步的认识,并且一直领先于世界。     

水体Ca2+对三角帆蚌珍珠质沉积的影响

为研究不同水体Ca2+浓度(10-80 mg/L)下三角帆蚌生长和珍珠质沉积量和晶体结构的变化, 采用鱼蚌混养的养殖模式养殖10周。结果表明, 1龄幼蚌生长的适宜Ca2+浓度为40 mg/L, 2龄未植片三角帆蚌生长的适宜Ca2+浓度为40-70 mg/L, 2龄植片三角帆蚌珍珠沉积的适宜Ca2+浓度为40 mg/L。拉曼光谱分析和珍珠层小片的扫描电镜观察结果表明, 适宜Ca2+浓度影响三角帆蚌珍珠质沉积可能是通过促进外套膜组织有机基质分泌从而调节CaCO3晶体形成和生长实现的。研究结果提示, 在三角帆蚌生长快速季节, 养殖水体中添加一定的钙源如生石灰等将有利于蚌体和珍珠的生长。同时研究结果也为加快珍珠培育, 提高珍珠品质提供理论依据和实践操纵手段。     

褶纹冠蚌珍珠囊发育的研究

以褶纹冠蚌(Cristaria plicata Leach)为实验对象,应用光学显微技术和扫描电子显微技术研究珍珠囊的发育,结果表明在水温16℃左右时约需30d形成具有单层上皮细胞的珍珠囊,6个月后稳定分泌珍珠质。构成珍珠囊的上皮细胞从高柱状逐渐变成扁平状或立方形,细胞的碳酸酐酶污性也日益增强。大部分移植细胞小片的结缔组织与母蚌的结缔组织共同成层排列在珍珠囊腔外围。游走细胞在珍珠囊的早期发育阶段十分活跃。本文还阐明了珍珠囊液是存在于上皮细胞与珍珠表面之间的一薄层流体状物质。碳酸钙结晶的核化(nucleation)和初期生长都发生在珍珠囊液中。     

背角无齿蚌珍珠囊形成过程的组织学和酶组织化学研究

本文采用Ｈ．Ｅ染色法和酶组织化学方法,对背角无齿蚌珍珠囊形成过程的组织学和酶组织化学的变化情况进行了研究,证实了“初生珍珠囊”的形成和溶解及“次生珍珠囊”的形成,并推没“次生珍珠囊”表皮细胞是由育珠蚌结缔组织转化而来的;观察了育珠手术后九种酶在珍珠囊形成的各个阶段和在珍珠囊和育珠蚌不同部位的变化情况,说明了珍珠囊珙成过程是与复杂的能量代谢,物质代谢及物质转运等有关的生理生化过程。     

三角帆蚌贝壳珍珠层颜色遗传规律的初步研究

为了探明三角帆蚌(Hyriopsis cumingii)贝壳珍珠层颜色的遗传规律,为珍珠层颜色的选择育种提供理论指导,利用三角帆蚌紫色和白色选育品系进行自交和正反杂交,建立了白色♂×白色♀、白色♂×紫色♀、紫色♂×白色♀和紫色♂×紫色♀4个交配组合,统计分析了每个交配组合子代的珍珠层颜色分离情况.结果显示,白色自交组合的子代贝壳珍珠层颜色全部表现为白色,没有发生颜色分离;杂交组合的子代珍珠层颜色出现两种情况,一是全部表现为紫色,二是颜色发生分离,且紫色和白色个体比例符合1∶1的比例关系;紫色自交组合的子代珍珠层颜色也出现两种情况,一是全部表现为紫色,二是颜色分离出紫色和白色,且比例符合3∶1的比例关系.结果表明,三角帆蚌贝壳珍珠层颜色受遗传基因控制,可以稳定遗传,属质量性状.珍珠层紫色性状对白色性状为显性,两种颜色性状均不存在母性遗传.白色个体为隐性纯合体,选育纯化较为容易,而紫色个体既有显性纯合体又有杂合体,选育纯化相对较困难.     

褶纹冠蚌光珠与骨珠珍珠囊差异的研究

运用多种组织化学方法和电镜技术研究了褶纹冠蚌光珠和骨珠珍珠囊表皮细胞的形态结构、分泌物性质和功能等方面的差异。结果表明：骨珠珍珠囊表皮细胞合成和分泌珍珠前体物质的能力较光珠的强,故骨珠的形成速度比光珠快;光珠和骨珠珍珠囊表皮细胞合成和分泌的蛋白质的差异决定了光珠和骨珠的形成;光珠和骨珠珍珠囊表皮细胞的形态结构特征差异可作为检验和预测人工培育珍珠质量的细胞学标准。

Molecular cloning and characterization of perlucin from the freshwater pearl mussel, Hyriopsis cumingii

Perlucin is an important functional protein that regulates shell and pearl formation. In this study, we cloned the perlucin gene from the freshwater pearl mussel Hyriopsis cumingii, designated as Hcperlucin. The full-length cDNA transcribed from the Hcperlucin gene was 1460 bp long, encoding a putative signal peptide of 20 amino acids and a mature protein of 141 amino acids. The mature Hcperlucin peptide contained six conserved cysteine residues and a carbohydrate recognition domain, similar to other members of the C-type lectin families. In addition, a “QPS” and an invariant “WND” motif near the C-terminal region were also found, which are extremely important for polysaccharide recognition and calcium binding of lectins. The mRNA of Hcperlucin was constitutively expressed in all tested H. cumingii tissues, with the highest expression levels observed in the mantle, adductor, gill and hemocytes. In situ hybridization was used to detect the presence of Hcperlucin mRNA in the mantle, and the result showed that the mRNA was specifically expressed in the epithelial cells of the dorsal mantle pallial, an area known to express genes involved in the biosynthesis of the nacreous layer of the shell. The significant Hcperlucin mRNA expression was detected on day 14 post shell damage and implantation, suggesting that the Hcperlucin might be an important gene in shell nacreous layer and pearl formation. The change of perlucin expression in pearl sac also confirmed that the mantle transplantation results in a new expression pattern of perlucin genes in pearl sac cells that are required for pearl biomineralization. These findings could help better understanding the function of perlucin in the shell and pearl formation.     

ELECTROPHORETIC AND MORPHOMETRIC CHARACTERS IN POPULATION DIFERENTIATION OF THE PEARL OYSTER, PINCTADA RADIATA (LEACH), FROM AROUND BAHRAIN

Variation at the leucine aminopeptidase (Lap), glucose phosphateisomerase (Gpi) and tetrazolium oxidase (To) loci was investigatedin samples of three populations, Al-Mayana (MAY), Shigita (SH)and Mina Salman (MS), of Pinctada radiata from pearl oysterbeds around Bahrain. The To locus was monomor-phic. SignificantLap and Gpi heterozygote deficiencies were evident and it issuggested that these were generated by selection. The MS population,to the East of Bahrain, differed significantly in Gpi allelefrequencies from both Northern populations (MAY, SH) and Nei'sgenetic identity indicates a close relationship between theNorthern populations. Measurements of shell morphometrics were used both as ratiosof one dimension to another, and as regressions of one dimensionon another to examine relatedness between populations. Boththese mor-phometric approaches gave different results from eachother and also differed from the electrophoretic data. It isconcluded that estimates of relatedness in pearl oysters basedon electrophoretic data will be more reliable than those basedon shell shape.

不同pH值对三角帆蚌珍珠质分泌的影响

运用多种组织化学方法和透射电镜技术,研究了５种ｐＨ水环境（ｐＨ５、６、７、８、９）对三角帆砷外套膜珍珠质分泌的影响机制,结果表明,在中性水环境中,贝体能积极地从外界水环境中吸收钙,并能旺盛地合成和分泌贝壳珍珠层及珍珠有机基质前体物质,持续的酸性水环境导致贝体的钙严重丢失,并引起珍珠质分泌细胞对有机基质前体物质的合成和分泌能力减弱,持续的碱性水环境虽能导致贝体对钙的积累,但珍珠质分泌细胞合成和分泌珍     

Molecular evolutionary characterization of an Activator (Ac)-like transposable element sequence from pearl millet (Pennisetum glaucum) (Poaceae)

We present data on the evolution of the Ac/Ds family of transposable elements in select grasses (Poaceae). A defective Ac-like element was cloned from a DNA library of the grass Pennisetum glaucum (pearl millet) and its entire 4531 bp sequence has been determined. When the pearl millet Ac-like sequence is aligned with the maize Ac sequence, it is found that there is approximately 70% DNA similarity in the central region spanning most of maize Ac exon II and all of exon III. In addition, there are two smaller regions of similarity at the Ac terminii. Besides these three major structural similarities, Pennisetum Ac has two large regions, one 5 and one 3, that show little similarity to Zea Ac. Furthermore, most of the sequences corresponding to intron II in maize Ac are absent in pearl millet Ac. Kimura's evolutionary distance between the central region of maize and pearl millet Ac sequences is estimated to be 0.429±0.020 nucleotide substitutions per site. This value is not significantly different from the average number of synonymous substitutions for coding regions of the Adh1 gene between maize and pearl millet, which is 0.395±0.051 nucleotide substitutions per site. If we assume Ac and Adh1 divergence times are equivalent between maize and pearl millet, then the above calculations suggest Ac-like sequences have probably not been strongly constrained by natural selection. Conserved DNA and amino acid sequence motifs are also examined. The level of DNA sequence divergence between maize and pearl millet Ac sequences, the estimated date when maize and pearl millet diverged (25–40 million years ago), coupled with their reproductive isolation/lack of current genetic exchange, all support the theory that Ac-like sequences have not been recently introduced into pearl millet from maize. Instead, Ac-like sequences were probably present in the progenitor of maize and pearl millet and have thus existed in the grasses for at least 25 million years.
