Pre‐copulation intervals,copulation frequencies,and initial progeny sex ratios in two biotypes of whitefly,Bemisia tabaci

The whitefly Bemisia tabaci (Gennadius) (Homoptera: Aleyrodidae) is a species complex, and its systematic classification requires controlled crossing experiments among its genetic groups. Accurate information on pre‐copulation intervals, copulation frequencies, and initial frequency of egg fertilization of newly emerged adults is critical for designing procedures for collecting the virgin adults necessary for these experiments. In the literature, considerable variation is reported between B. tabaci populations, with respect to the length of the pre‐copulation interval and the initial frequency of egg fertilization. Here, we used a video‐recording method to observe continuously the copulation behaviour of the Mediterranean/Asia Minor/Africa (B biotype) and the Asia II (ZHJ1 biotype) groups of B. tabaci. We also recorded the initial frequency of egg fertilization, as determined by the sex of the progeny. When adults were caged in female–male pairs on leaves of cotton plants, the earliest copulation events occurred 2–6 h after emergence; at 12 h after emergence 56–84% of the females had copulated at least once, and nearly all (92–100%) had copulated at least once by 36 h after emergence. Both females and males copulated repeatedly. Approximately 80 and 20% of copulation events occurred during the photophase and scotophase, respectively. By 72 h post‐emergence, the females of the B and ZHJ1 biotypes had copulated on average 6.1 and 3.9 times, respectively. When adults were caged in groups on plants 1–13 h after emergence, 30–35% of the eggs deposited during this period were fertilized, and approximately 90% of females were fertilized by the end of the 13 h. Although timing of copulation differed in detail between the two genetic groups, the results demonstrate that B. tabaci adults can start to copulate as early as 2–6 h post‐emergence and the majority of females can become fertilized on the day that they emerge.

Genetic polymorphism of GPT and GLO-I in Galicia (northwest Spain): a comparative study

GPT and GLO-I phenotypes were determined by means of isoelectric focusing and starch gel electrophoresis, respectively, in a sample of the Galician population (Northwest Spain); GPT: n = 302, GLO-I: n = 500. The gene frequencies come to: GPT1 = 0.5099, GPT2 = 0.4901; GLO1 = 0.4930, GLO2 = 0.5070. No rare variants were found. The Galician gene frequencies are compared with those obtained on other populations from different parts of the world.     

N-Deacetylation of 2-acetamido-2-deoxy-hexosecontaining oligosaccharides and polysaccharides by calcium in liquid ammonia

N-Deacetylation of 2-acetamido-2-deoxy-hexose residues is accomplished in liquid ammonia containing calcium. Oligosaccharides, lacto-N-fucopentaose II and lacto-N-difucohexaose I, containing 3,4-disubstitutedN-acetylhexosamine residues are quantitativelyN-deacetylated. When applied to polysaccharides, however, only partialN-deacetylation was achieved.Author for correspondence. AXRD     

胆碱能神经对人餐后神经降压素释放的影响

本文比较了6名健康成人进食、餐前肌注阿托品以及单纯咀嚼食物后的血浆神经降压素样免疫活性物质(NTLI)水平的变化,以探讨胆碱能神经对神经降压素释放的影响。用放射免疫测定法分别测定NTLI和胰多肽(PP)的含量,以便同时比较两者释放的状态。6人的基础血浆NTLI和PP的水平平均分别为15.7±2.4和16.6±9 7pmol/L。进食后,血浆NTLI和PP水平均显著增高,并呈双相反应。第一个血浆NTLI高峰平均为60.7±13.2pmol/L,出现于餐后的20min。餐后90min,又出现另一个高峰,其平均水平为58.8±8.2pmol/L。在进食前肌注阿托品1mg,餐后的第一个血浆NTLI高峰消失,而第二个高峰仍存在。单纯咀嚼食物后,血浆PP水平明显增高,而对NTLI的释放无刺激作用。本文结果提示,餐后早期的神经降压素释放的调节是由非迷走胆碱能神经参与的,而后期的释放不受胆碱能神经的影响。     

激光照射胚泡对家兔和小鼠的抗早孕研究

本文在家兔、小鼠上探索了激光的抗旱孕效应,观察到血卟啉衍生物(HPD)和激光的光化效应能使早期胚泡完全坏死和吸收,无流血和晚期流产现象,通过PNQ_3荧光分光光度计测定HPD在胚胎组织中的荧光谱,证实HPD对胚胎组织有亲和力,其对滋养叶细胞比对宫壁组织的亲和力大4倍,借以解释激光光化效应抗早孕的可能机理。     

中国东方铃蟾(Bombina orientalis)皮肤中C_(-12-b)肽的分离与鉴定

东方铃蟾鲜皮的甲醇提取液,可引起大鼠离体平滑肌的收缩。此液经碱性氧化铝柱层析分离,其80%乙醇洗脱的 C 组分显示生物活性。C 组分再经葡聚糖凝胶 G-15柱分离,其活性较强的早期洗脱组分 C_(_12),可被糜蛋白酶水解灭活,但其活性并不被5-HT 拮抗剂赛庚啶[2×10~(-6)mol/L]完全拮抗。继用反相高效液相色谱(RP-HPLC)分析,见分离出的 C_(_12_h)峰与铃蟾肽~*(Bombesin,BBS)的出峰时间相同,且具相同的氨基酸组成。上述实验结果提示,C_(_12_h)肽可能就是铃蟾肽。
