水稻籽粒成熟过程中淀粉合成及水解酶活力的变化

一.引言谷类作物在开花以后,籽粒中大量堆积淀粉,一个多月可以增加几十倍,占植物总干重三分之一以上。因为淀粉的经济价值大,以及累积速度高,这个变化一直受着研究工作者的注意。在这一个过程中,那些酶起着主要的作用,它们的活力如何在变化,成了一个重要的问题。ax 等(Bach,Oparin 和 Wihner 1927)及(1951)     

The Biological Mechanisms of Air Ion Action : II. Negative air ion effects on the concentration and metabolism of 5-hydroxytryptamine in the mammalian respiratory tract

Negative air ions are shown to decrease 5-hydroxytryptamine concentrations in extirpated strips of rabbit trachea and in the respiratory tracts of living mice. An initial exposure of guinea pigs to (-) air ions causes a transient rise in urinary 5-hydroxyindoleacetic acid excretion which is not observed upon subsequent exposures. These findings are compatible with the hypothesis advanced earlier that (-) air ion effects depend on the ability of (-) ions to accelerate enzymatic oxidation of 5-hydroxytryptamine.     

OXIDATIVE ASSIMILATION IN RELATION TO PHOTOSYNTHESIS IN CHLORELLA

1. An oxidative assimilation of acetic add and glucose in darkness has been demonstrated in the green alga, Chlorella pyrenoidosa. From manometric experiments it has been shown that 1 mol (CH₂O) per mol acetic add and 5 mols (CH₂O) per mol glucose are produced. 2. The time required for complete utilization of a limited amount of acetic acid or glucose is not affected by illumination in the absence of carbon dioxide. 3. The time required for complete utilization of a limited amount of glucose is not affected by the simultaneous occurrence of photosynthesis. It must therefore be concluded that the accumulating product of photosynthesis cannot be glucose but must be some slowly respirable (storage) material. 4. Possible interrelationships between oxidative assimilation and photosynthesis may be further studied by following, in darkness and in light, the time course of oxidative assimilation of substrates which are possible intermediates in the two processes.     

Notes on the relationship between the burrowing capacity, size and shoulder anatomy of some eastern Asiatic moles

Talpa micrura leucura and T. m. malayana make superficial burrows through tropical forest floor litter. They do not dig deeply into the soil or produce mole heaps as does Talpa europaea. Although some comparatively minor points of difference between the shoulder girdles of the eastern and European species are of sufficient interest to be described, it is suggested that it is the greater size and strength of Talpa europaea that enables it to perform the heavy manual labour of deep digging which T. m. leucura and T. m. malayana are not powerful enough to undertake.     

白垩纪双壳类Isodomella在藏北的发现及其意义

产于西藏北部改则县川巴和麻米附近的1个双壳类动物群,包括 Isodomella choinbaensis sp. nov. 和 Caestocorbula (Parmicorbula) perlonga sp. nov. 等9种,时代为早白垩世 Valanginian 至早 Aptian 期.从 Isodomella 揭示出的铰齿看,它应归入 Corbiculidae 科;所共生的种类反映 Isodomella 为与正常海有密切联系的半咸水生活的种类.Isodomella 被认为是日本特有的属,在日本以外尚属首次发现.这个属的动物从日本到藏北的迁移路线,很可能是经我国台湾、南海,绕中南半岛折向西北,又经我国滇西、藏东到达藏北的.这个动物群与东特提斯北部边缘的动物群联系密切,说明川巴和麻米所在的拉萨地块当时已是欧亚大陆的一部分.     

广西凤山、西林等地中三叠统上部双壳类分带研究*

讨论广西西部中三叠统上部的双壳类生物地层序列,建立5个化石带;并附述黔南和滇东南晚三叠世1个双壳类带.这些带自下而上为:(1) Daonella (Longidaonella) producta-D. americana 带,属晚安尼早中期;(2) D. moussoni 高峰带,属晚安尼晚期;(3) D. rieberi-D. indica 带,属早拉丁期;(4) D. kotoi-D. jilongensis 带,属晚拉丁早期;(5) Halobia subcomata-D. varifurcata带,属晚拉丁晚期;(6) H. rugosoides-H. bifurcata 带,属早卡尼期.文内简要描述了各带的主要标志化石23种.     

河南固始早石炭世杨山组植物群

系统描述了扬山组植物18属25种,其中以石松类及种子蕨和真蕨纲为主,仅少数属楔叶纲;石松类中发现不少叶座较小,叶痕相对较大的鳞木类植物,颇似华夏植物群中的鳞木类;首次报道了我国发现的古芦木孢囊穗.据对植物群综合分析,杨山组的时代为早石炭世中晚期.
