内蒙古5个民族12对性状的基因频率

报道了内蒙古地区鄂温克、鄂伦春、达斡尔、蒙古族和汉族12对遗传性状的基因频率,并进行民族间基因频率的比较。结果显示：内眦褶性状的民族间差异较大,叠舌性状次之,利手和鼻梁侧面观性状的民族间差异较小。 Abstract:The gene frequency of 12 characters was reported in Ewenki,Oroqen,Daur,Mongol and Han nationalities in Inner Mongolia,and compared among these nationalities.The result indicated that the difference of Mongoloid fold among nationalities was significant,followed by the Folding tongue,while the difference of Handedness and Nasal profile was relatively insignificant.     

WHS3菌株产几丁质酶对棉铃虫HaSNPV的增效作用

WHS3 (Serratia marcescens)菌是一株几丁质酶的高产菌株,在诱导培养基中几丁质 酶的产量可达84.4μg/mL.通过对中国棉铃虫进行的生物测定表明WHS3菌所产的几丁质酶 (A3)能有效地提高HaSNPV的毒力20%～70%, LT50、LT90比对照组缩短天数最高可达1.1d、1.3d.

干旱胁迫对苜蓿脯氨酸累积的影响

用PEG-6000高渗溶液模拟干旱胁迫,研究了干旱胁迫对首蓿累积脯氨酸的影响,实验结果表明,四种苜蓿在不同浓度PEG溶液和一定时间范围内都有游离脯氨酸的累积,而且每种苜蓿在20%PEG溶液中48h游离脯氨酸的量最多,以中牧1号苜蓿累积量最高,累积脯氨酸是苜蓿幼苗对干旱环境的适应性表现。     

三种内寄生蜂寄生对小菜蛾幼虫精子发生的影响

内寄生蜂寄生可能会引起寄主的寄生性去势。对小菜蛾Plutella xylostella与菜蛾啮小蜂Oomyzus sokolowskii Kurdumov (膜翅目： 姬小蜂科)、半闭弯尾姬蜂Diadegma semiclausum Hellén (膜翅目： 姬蜂科)、菜蛾盘绒茧蜂Cotesia plutellae (Kurdj.) (膜翅目： 茧蜂科) 3个寄生体系,利用形态学方法和蛋白质技术,研究了寄生对小菜蛾幼虫精子发生的影响。结果表明：菜蛾啮小蜂寄生对寄主的精子发生过程没有影响。半闭弯尾姬蜂寄生造成寄主精母细胞的细胞核畸形,精细胞的染色质超浓缩并趋向核膜,但能形成少量的精子;半闭弯尾姬蜂寄生会导致寄主精巢总蛋白的含量显著下降。菜蛾盘绒茧蜂寄生对小菜蛾幼虫精子发生的抑制程度最强,被寄生寄主的精母细胞出现肿胀,核膜皱缩,胞质中的线粒体发生病变;精细胞的染色体也出现超浓缩并趋向核膜,大量的精子溶解,无正常的精子形成;其精巢总蛋白含量的下降程度比姬蜂寄生的更为明显,且导致分子量为63.4 kD的主蛋白缺失。     

母体遗传效应对绒山羊生产性状遗传参数估计的影响

利用非求导约束最大似然法(DF-REML), 比较了内蒙古白绒山羊在两种不同动物模型下估计遗传参数的差异, 两种模型的区别在于是否考虑母体遗传效应。对两种模型的差异用似然比进行检验。结果表明, 母体遗传效应对于体重和绒厚影响极显著(P<0.01), 对于抓绒量、毛长、绒长度以及绒细度影响不显著(P>0.05)。     

雌雄同体植物的性别干扰及其进化意义

雌雄同体植物在传粉和交配过程中两性功能存在潜在的冲突和妥协。除自交和近交衰退外,人们近年来更加强调导致配子浪费和适合度减少的繁殖代价——性别干扰。性别干扰潜在地存在于雌雄同体植物中,尤其是花粉和柱头空间位置接近而又同时成熟的两性花中。该文首先介绍了雌雄同体植物性别干扰的含义及其各种形式,进而用性别干扰理论来解释各种花部性状的适应意义,同时还回顾了植物中关于性别干扰的少数实验证据。该文强调,通常被解释为避免自交的花部机制实际上更大可能是为了避免性别干扰。从更广泛意义上,自交也可以看成是一种形式的性别干扰。     

Protective Effect of Dietary Xylitol on Influenza A Virus Infection

Xylitol has been used as a substitute for sugar to prevent cavity-causing bacteria, and most studies have focused on its benefits in dental care. Meanwhile, the constituents of red ginseng (RG) are known to be effective in ameliorating the symptoms of influenza virus infection when they are administered orally for 14 days. In this study, we investigated the effect of dietary xylitol on influenza A virus infection (H1N1). We designed regimens containing various fractions of RG (RGs: whole extract, water soluble fraction, saponin and polysaccharide) and xylitol, and combination of xylitol with the RG fractions. Mice received the various combinations orally for 5 days prior to lethal influenza A virus infection. Almost all the mice died post challenge when xylitol or RGs were administered separately. Survival was markedly enhanced when xylitol was administered along with RGs, pointing to a synergistic effect. The effect of xylitol plus RG fractions increased with increasing dose of xylitol. Moreover, dietary xylitol along with the RG water soluble fraction significantly reduced lung virus titers after infection. Therefore, we suggest that dietary xylitol is effective in ameliorating influenza-induced symptoms when it is administered with RG fractions, and this protective effect of xylitol should be considered in relation to other diseases.
