低分子肝素的绿色荧光蛋白荧光标记及其活性检测

增强型绿色荧光蛋白（EGFP）是生物领域常用的标记物. 本实验首先利用高碘酸法活化低分子肝素（LMWH）,与EGFP连接得到LMWH EGFP.然后用Sephacryl S-200 HR对其进行初步分离,再用Sephadex G-10 HR进行脱盐纯化. 采用Sephacryl S 200 HR检测LMWH EGFP的纯度,为单一对称峰. 经检测,LMWH-EGFP具有良好的热稳定性和耐碱性. 通过荧光分光检测器检测LMWH-EGFP的λEx为488 nm,λEm为509 nm. 通过抗凝实验发现LMWH EGFP仍具有抗凝活性. 本实验建立了LWMH荧光标记的方法,为多糖的荧光标记提供了新的选择.     

中国产桫椤类配子体在不同基质胁迫下的形态畸变多样性研究

为了明确土壤污染对中国产桫椤科植物的生殖影响,以探讨中国桫椤类乃至其他濒危蕨类濒危的内在原因。该研究以中国产9种桫椤植物为材料,采用各植物原产地地表土壤培养孢子至配子体成熟,全程比较观察配子体畸变类型,统计畸变率;并分别取3个属的代表种笔筒树、大叶黑桫椤和中华桫椤的孢子,以MS培养基为对照,分别用5mg·kg^-1Pb^2+和1mg·kg^-1Cd^2+单因素胁迫培养配子体,比较观察各组的配子体形态畸变类型,统计畸变率。结果表明:(1)中国产桫椤类9种植物配子体培养过程中共出现17种形态畸变类型,其中4种为分化畸变,7种为假根畸变,4种为细胞畸变,2种为性器畸变。(2)不同培养基——对照组(MS培养基)、原产地土壤、Cd^2+胁迫、Pb^2+胁迫对中国产桫椤科9种植物配子体的平均畸变比例分别是2.28%、12.61%、31.58%和33.58%。(3)9种桫椤的配子体畸变类型及其畸变率均与培养基的胁迫程度呈正相关关系,其配子体发育都受到了产地土壤污染的严重伤害。(4)3种桫椤属植物配子体对土壤环境胁迫的耐受力强弱为黑桫椤属>白桫椤属>桫椤属。(5)桫椤科配子体的形态畸变多样性与胁迫条件之间具有稳定的对应关系。

Interactive effects of elevated C02 and temperature on the anatomical characteristics of leaves in eleven species

The anatomical features of leaves in 11 species of plants grown in a temperature gradient and a temperature + CO2 gradient were studied.The palisade parenchyma thickness,the spongy parenchyma thickness and the total leaf thickness were measured and analyzed to investigate the effects of elevated temperature and CO2 on the anatomical characteristics of the leaves.Our results show that with the increase of temperature,the leaf thickness of C4 species increased while the leaf thickness of C3 species showed no constant changes.With increased CO2,seven out of nine C3 species exhibited increased total leaf thickness.In C4 species,leaf thickness decreased.As for the trend on the multi-grades,the plants exhibited linear or non-linear changes.With the increase of temperature or both temperature and CO2 for the 11 species investigated,leaf thickness varied greatly in different plants (species) and even in different branches on the same plant.These results demonstrated that the effect of increasing CO2 and temperature on the anatomical features of the leaves were species-specific.Since plant structures are correlated with plant functions,the changes in leaf anatomical characteristics in elevated temperature and CO2 may lead to functional differences.     

Fluorescence intensity studies of Triassic acritarchs from the Yanchang Formation in Ordos basin,northwestern China

Fluorescence properties of Early Cambrian acritarchs were investigated using Leica das Mikroskop (DM)microscopy with a mercury lamp.Well-preserved autoflurescence properties show a correlation between acritarchs morphology and the intensity of emitted fluorescence.In accordance with the fluorescence intensity of organic cell walls,two groups ofmicrofossils were distinguished.Results of observation in this study,which are consistent with those of the previous foreign studies,are in good agreement with regular difference in autofluorescence intensity among palynomorphs reported by McPhilemy (1998).Spores and algae,including Botryococcus,have very bright fluorescence while acritarchs often show less intense fluorescence.Dark brown microfossils have been reworked,and have little or no fluorescence.     

球孢白僵菌转录因子BbMSN2与其结合基序变体的结合特性分析

球孢白僵菌是一种广谱性杀虫真菌,为了探索其转录因子BbMSN2识别启动子核心序列的能力,本研究外源表达并纯化了BbMSN2蛋白,合成了3个含有不同数量核心序列(AGGGG/ CCCCT)的核酸探针和6个核心序列点突变的核酸探针,将BbMSN2蛋白和核酸探针体外结合,通过凝胶迁移实验检测核酸探针及结合蛋白的迁移情况。研究发现,目的蛋白与含有核心序列的核酸探针结合时,核酸探针发生了凝胶迁移现象,其中核心序列数量对凝胶迁移的协同效益不显著。但目的蛋白与核心序列点突变核酸探针结合时,凝胶迁移现象明显减弱。上述结果表明,转录因子BbMSN2可以和含有核心序列核酸探针结合并发生相互作用,且对识别序列具有很强的特异性。本研究为深入探索BbMSN2转录调控机制奠定了试验基础。
