内蒙古晚始新世土克木层发现之原雷兽

在内蒙古四子王旗额尔登敖包相当于晚始新世的土克木层中发现了原雷兽(Protitan)化石.这是在该层位中时隔60多年(1926-1991)之后发现的第四种动物.也是首次发现的大型哺乳动物.     

寡糖素对西洋参和人参愈伤组织培养的影响

红花、人参和黑节草寡糖素(简称CO、GO和DO)分别加入到培养基中,均能影响西洋参和人参愈伤组织生长和皂甙的合成。CO、GO和DO促进西洋参愈伤组织皂甙合成的最适浓度分别为5ppm、15ppm和10ppm,皂甙产率分别为14.89mg/flask、11.24mg/flask和14.53mg/flask,均明显高于对照(8.22mg/flash).CO、GO和DO促进人参愈伤组织皂甙合成的最适浓度分别为5ppm、20ppm和5ppm,皂甙产率分别为11.79mg/flask、11.20mg/flask和10.48mg/flask,均明显高于对照(6.65mg/flask),它们在适度浓度下对人参愈伤组织的生长均有促进作用。

甜橙叶片营养元素适宜含量的研究

本研究探讨闽南甜橙主栽品种(印子柑、改良橙、伏令夏橙)叶片营养元素含量的适宜范围。结果表明,各品种不同地点、年份的叶片元素含量存在明显差异,而三个甜橙品种间叶片元素含量未见稳定的差异,因此,作者认为,可建立三个甜橙品种通用的叶片营养元素含量适宜标准。统计分析表明:其叶片毛素含量的变异系数,大量元素以氮、磷较小,镁、钾、钙较大;微量元素多高于大量元素。本文初步提出甜橙于片元素的适宜含量:氮2.50％～3.30％,磷0.12％～0.18％,钾1.00％～2.00％,钙2.00％～3.50％,镁0.22％～0.40％,铜4.0～18.0ppm,锌25.0～70.0ppm,锰20.0～100.0ppm,铁90.0～160.0ppm,硼25.0～100.0ppm。大量元素含量的适宜比值为氮:磷:钾:钙:镁=1:0.05:0.5:2:0.95:0.11。上列指标可供甜橙营养诊断指导合理施肥之参考。     

An Accurate Model for the Expression of the Antisense RNA Block Gene:the Firefly Luciferase Gene-Xenopus Oocyte System

The plasmid p~(SV-Luc20)or the mRNA of luciferase gene transcribed from p~(SP64-Luc12)was introduced intothe nucleus or cytoplasm of Xenopus oocytes at stages 5-6 by microinjection.Then the injectedoocytes were incubated in MB medium at 18℃ for definite periods,and the crude enzyme ofluciferase was prepared.Results indicated that the luciferase gent and its mRNA could be transcribedand translated into the enzymatic protein of luciferase with high biological activity,and could alsocatalyze the substrates to emit light.If different ratios of firefly lucifcrasc gene and its antisense RNA were introduced together into thenucleus or cytoplasm of Xenopus oocytes,then the expression of firefly luciferase gone was severelyblocked.Since the lucifcrasc activity can be measured rapidly and quantitatively and the Xenopusoocytes obtained easily,the firefly luciferase gene-Xenopus oocyte system is an excellent model forrevealing quantitatively how the antisense RNA can block gene expression.     

北五味子的果实解剖研究

采用不同花期的子房与花谢后的果实解剖制片为材料,综合研究结果,明确北五味子的雌花,其离生心皮雌蕊群呈螺旋状着生在圆顶状的花托上。每一个单雌蕊均由鸡冠状柱头与下面膨大的子房构成。花柱缺如。子房有自背缝线上发生的假隔膜隔开,致将子房形成假二室;胚珠倒生乃至弯生,亚边缘胎座(submarginal placenta),受精后发育成旋生聚合浆果(spiral-baccacetum),内含种子1-3(2)枚。种子属双子叶有胚乳种子,胚甚小,约为种子的1/50。
