The nitrogen balance of Raphanus sativus X raphanistrum plants. I. Daily nitrogen use under high nitrate supply

Abstract Growth-chamber cultivated Raphanus plants accumulate nitrate during their vegetative growth. After 25 days of growth at a constant supply to the roots of 1 mol m^?3 (NO^?₃) in a balanced nutrient solution, the oldest leaves (eight-leaf stage) accumulated 2.5% NO^?₃-nitrogen (NO₃-N) in their lamina, and almost 5% NO₃-N in their petioles on a dry weight basis. This is equivalent to approximately 190 and 400 mol^?3 m^?3 concentration of NO^?₃ in the lamina and the petiole, respectively, as calculated on a total tissue water content basis. Measurements were made of root NO^?₃ uptake, NO^?₃ fluxes in the xylem, nitrate uptake by the mesophyll cells, and nitrate reduction as measured by an in vivo test. NO^?₃ uptake by roots and mesophyll cells was greater in the light than in the dark. The NO^?₃ concentration in the xylem fluid was constant with leaf age, but showed a distinct daily variation as a result of the independent fluxes of root uptake, transpiration and mesophyll uptake. NO^?₃ was reduced in the leaf at a higher rate in the light than in the dark. The reduction was inhibited at the high concentrations calculated to exist in the mesophyll vacuoles, but reduction continued at a low rate, even when there was no supply from the incubation medium. Sixty-four per cent of the NO^?₃ influx was turned into organic nitrogen, with the remaining NO^?₃ accumulating in both the light and the dark.

蟾蜍红细胞与网织红细胞染色质蛋白的比较研究Ⅲ·HMG蛋白质

从亚洲蟾蜍(Bufo bufo asiaticus)与鸡红细胞核内分离纯化了HMG蛋白(Highmobility group proteins),经聚丙烯酰胺凝胶电泳鉴定,证明两者的电泳图谱不完全相同,在蟾蜍的红细胞内也能观察到与鸡HMG_(17)相对应位置上的蛋白质区带,但在鸡HMG_(14)相对应的位置上,却能观察到两条显著的蛋白质区带(A及B带)。此外,我们已把蟾蜍成熟红细胞与苯肼诱发后的网织红细胞内的HMG蛋白进行比较,证明两者有显著的差异。网织红细胞内HMG_A和HMG_B蛋白在含量上起了变化,却与成熟的红细胞相反。另外还出现了二条新的蛋白区带(C与D带)。初步的结果暗示了,HMG蛋白类似于非组蛋白、染色质蛋白,在量上的变化将会引起功能上的变化。

Population structure and dynamics of Pinus massoniana Lamb. on mount Jinyun,Sichuan, China

Masson Pine (Pinus massoniana Lamb.) is a pioneer in forest succession in the subtropics of East Asia. However, the species persits, though with decreasing abundance, throughout the various successional phases. Agestructure, spatial pattern, density, population biomass, and their dynamics are described for a population in Sichuan, China, on the basis of a census of all individuals in the population while substituting space with time. In the course of succession, the population density increases and its rate of growth decreases until self-thinning starts; during the phase of self-thinning density decrease and continues to decrease even afterwards, but the rate of growth increase markedly after self-thinning has stopped. The development of population biomass (Bp) during the early succession from shrub-grassland to the early stages of mixed pine and broad-leaved forest can be described by a logistic equation. Later, Bp decrease rapidly. These changes are governed partly by inherent biological features of P. massoniana and partly by the invasion, establishment and development of shade-tolerant evergreen broad-leaved trees. Both self- and alien-thinning occur. Soil conditions affect the rates of these processes.     

冬虫夏草的寄主昆虫是虫草蝙蝠蛾

冬虫夏草原名夏草冬虫,简称虫草,是我国一味名贵药材。李时珍(1578)的本草纲目中未有记载。据考据此种药材在清朝雍正或乾隆年间才应用(中国药学大辞典,1958)。赵学敏(1756)的本草拾遗和吴遵程(177)的本草从新才把它记载为药材。四川通志、黔囊、文房肆考、柑园小识等书中早已提到,足见在民间府用已久。1723 年曾有法国人把标     

竹红菌甲素敏化嘌呤和嘧啶碱的光氧化作用及其影响因素

本工作利用光吸收和高效液相色谱(HPLC)技术研究了甲素对DNA分子中四种碱基A、G、C和T光氧化的敏化作用,发现在反应体系的pH为9.0、甲素浓度为3×10~(-5)mol/L、光照40分钟时,G和T紫外吸收明显降低;HPLC分析发现甲素敏化的G光氧化体系比对照体系多出现一组分峰(滞留时间0.927分钟),该峰用475nm波长检测比260nm波长检测灵敏。根据反应机制推测是G环破裂产物。在反应条件固定时,甲素敏化G的光氧化作用受pH、光照时间及甲素浓度影响极大。单线态氧淬灭剂——叠氮钠浓度在40—110mmol/L可部分抑制甲素敏化G的光氧化作用,>110mmol/L时反应完全被阻断,提示甲素对G光氧化的敏化作用主要通过单线态氧(~1O_2)即Ⅱ型机制起作用。本文还讨论了G光氧化的可能途径。

Increased shikonin production inLithospermum erythrorhizon suspension cultures within situ extraction and fungal cell treatment (elicitor)

Summary The effect ofin situ extraction and elicitor treatment on shikonin production was studied with the suspension cultures ofLithospermum erythrorhizon. Shikonin concentration of 60 mg/L was achieved by the use of both techniques which was 24 times higher than that of control culture, and 65 times higher in terms of shikonin productivity. The host-pathogen effect of elicitor treatment andin situ extraction for product removal were effective for shikonin production.
