Effects of light, temperature and water stress on germination of Artemisia sphaerocephala

Artemisia sphaerocephala is widely used for vegetation rehabilitation, but its germination is very low after air seeding of achenes. We explored effects of light, temperature and water stress on germination. Results show that both final percent germination and germination rate were increased by temperature increment, with the highest values occurring at 15: 25°C (night: day) in dark and 20: 30°C under light. Light inhibited germination, especially at lower alternating temperatures (5: 15°C and 10: 20°C). The alternating temperature window for germination was slightly narrower under light than in dark, and germination was slower under light than in dark across the temperature range. Achenes incubated in the dark and at constant temperatures had over 80% germination at 10 to 25°C, with an optimum at 20°C. Under dark and 25μmol m^‐2 s^‐1 light flux density at 10: 20°C, final percent germination was over 94%, but if the light flux density was increased to 100 and 400 μmol m^‐2 s^‐1, final percent germination was significantly lower (64% and 38% respectively). However, achenes could keep their germination capacity for a long time (over 50 days) and germinate well after going back to the dark. Germination was also lower under water stress and few achenes germinated at ‐1.4 MPa. This was more pronounced at high and low temperatures. Given these findings and the prevailing climatic characteristics, the most suitable time for air seeding of achenes may be mid‐May.

向海退化盐沼湿地修复效果评估

向海自然保护区位于中国东北地区西部的半湿润半干旱气候区,是盐碱沼泽湿地集中分布区。近年来,受到气候变化和人类活动的影响,湿地退化严重,生物多样性下降。基于"压力-状态-响应"理论,利用层次分析方法构建湿地修复效果评估模型,构建了3个综合指标和19个评价因子在内的湿地评价指标体系,对退化湿地修复效果进行评估。结果表明,与2015年相比,2017年仙鹤岛修复示范区湿地植被盖度在原有基础上提高45.83%,水禽数量和种类分别提高40.41%和61.54%,水质综合污染指数下降了8.70%,土壤盐度指数下降了8.82%。与2015年的湿地评价值0.4481相比,2017年湿地评价值为0.5537,修复效果值提高了23.57%,向海湿地的退化状况得到明显改善,达到了湿地的修复效果,该研究对于湿地的恢复与管理具有一定意义。     

The interaction of laminin and its membrane receptor on mouse macrophage membrane studied by STM and FRAP

The variation of membrane surface and lateral diffusion of membrane protein was studied after the interaction of laminin with its membrane receptor in mouse macrophages. A pattern of membrane surface which showed smaller and bigger peaks was obtained by scanning tunneling microscope(STM), looking like the domains of lipid groups and proteins in the model of fluid mosaic biomembrane. Some even more higher and wider peaks projected out from the membrane surface in STM image after the interacting of laminin with membrane receptor were, probably, the complexes of laminin and membrane receptor. Furthermore, the decreased lateral diffusion coefficient value (D) was obtained by fluorescence recovery after photobleaching (FRAP) after the laminin was reacted with membrane receptor. This phenomenon provides an evidence that the complexes of laminin and its membrane receptor were located on the membrane of macrophages. So we could consider that the laminin is combined with membrane receptor leading to the variation in the properties of membrane surface.     

氚标记昆虫保幼激素类似物738在家蚕体内的吸收和排泄

用氘标记的昆虫保幼激素类似物738(代号³H-JHA-738)对5龄中期家蚕进行涂布蚕体和涂布桑叶添食,经测量查明:涂体处理后,放射性经蚕粪平均排泄速率,4小时为1.8%,48小时达到61.7%。试验终了为 67.2%;吸收率为 32.8%。涂叶添食处理后,放射性经蚕粪平均排泄速率4小时内达 48.5%,48小时内为90.8%,试验终了达到93.3%;吸收率仅为6.7%。³H-JHA-738及其代谢产物在蚕体内的半活性期,涂体者为48小时,添食者仅有4个多小时。血液里放射性在处理后前4小时迅速升高,之后则大幅度下降。两种处理,各组织器官里放射性物质的代谢率自48小时后都较缓慢且大体接近。它们在蚕体各组织器官里的绝对分布量涂体者大于添食者,但相对或平均分布率仍较接近。它们进入蚕体后主要分布在脂肪体、体壁、丝腺和消化管里。涂体者的放射性如以³H-JHA-738残留量计量,蚕蛹内平均为 0.027ppm,丝平均为0.0019ppm,卵为0.013ppm。添食者残留量,蚕蛹内平均为0.0057ppm。丝平均为0.001ppm,卵为0.0035ppm。 研究结果表明,³H-JHA-738在家蚕体内的吸收和排泄,运转和分布、积累和残留,受处理方式的影响,与蚕体性别无关。     

霉菌毒素 Dihydroxyaflavinine 非竞争性抑制在爪蟾卵母细胞内表达的 GABA_A 受体通道

Dihydroxyaflavinine 是黄曲霉菌(Aspergillus flavus)的吲哚类代谢物。我们将鸡脑mRNA 注入爪蟾卵母细胞表达得到 GABA_A 受体通道,然后用电压箝记录方法定量研究了dihydroxyaflavinine 对 GABA 电流反应的作用。Dihydroxyaflavinine 非竞争性阻断GABA 电流反应(K_I=12μmol/L),撤药后反应迅速恢复。作为比较,青霉素对 GABA_A受体的抑制作用随 GABA 浓度的升高而增加。浓度高达1μmol/L 苯二氮(艹卓)位点配体 Ro 15-1788(KD=0.6—2nmol/L)不能阻断10μmol/L dihydroxyaflavinine 的作用,说明 dihy-droxyaflavinine 不作用于 GABA_A 受体的苯二氮(艹卓)位点。Dihydroxyaflavinine 类似印防已毒素,表观上加速 GABA_A 受体的脱敏过程,而青霉素和荷包牡丹碱与此相反。     

The Recovery of Sublethally Injured Escherichia coli from Frozen Meat

Sublethal injury to Escherichia coli , measured as the inability of surviving cells to grow on media containing bile salts, was monitored during frozen storage on meat at —5, —10 and —20° C. More rapid increases in injury occurred at the higher subzero temperatures and log phase cells were more susceptible than those in the stationary phase of growth. Repair of injury in non-selective liquid media took between 2 and 6 h at 25° and was often accompanied by an increase in total viable count. Incubation for a fixed period in broth was, therefore, unsuitable for the quantitative recovery of freeze-injured Esch. coli. Resuscitation on membrane filters avoided confusing repair of injury with multiplication of uninjured or repaired cells. The mean recovery of injured cells following incubation on membranes for 4 h at 35°C on tryptone soya agar, was 94%.     

Antisense EGFR sequence enhances apoptosis in a human hepatoma cell line BEL—7404

Effects of antisense epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) sequence on apoptotic cell death were examined in a human hepatoma cell line BEL-7404 cells.In the cells of JX-1,a sub clone of BEL-7404 stably transfected with antisense EGFR vector (Cell Research,3:75,1993),an enhanced rate(9.5%) of spontaneous apoptosis was detected by flow cytometry,whereas the rates of spontaneous apoptosis in JX-0 cells,a sub-clone of BEL-7404 transfected by control vector,and the parent BEL-7404 transfected by control vector,and the parent BEL-7404 transfected by control vector,and the parent BEL-7404 cells were almost equal and about 1.7%.Serum-starvation for 72h increased the rate of apoptosis of JX-lcells up to 33.7%,while JX-0 and BEL-7404 cells,under the same condition,produced less than 5% of apoptotic cells.Observation with electron microscope demonstrated that condensation and fragmentation of chromatin and formation of apoptotic bodies often occurred in JX-1 cells,especially during serumstarvation.These results,combined with the data of DNA fragmentation Elisa test,suggested that antisense EGFR sequence enhances apoptosis in the human hepatoma cells.Comparison of intracellular Ca^2 level and the responsiveness of JX-1 cells to the induced action of EGF and tharpsigargin (TG) treatment with that of control JX-0 cells indicated that antisense egfr might interrupt the EGF/EGFR sigaling pathway resulting in the decreass of intracellular Ca^2 pool content as well as the responsiveness of these cells to the extracellular signals.These findings suggest that antisense EGFR either directly or indirectly regulates Ca^2 storage in endoplasmic reticulum,thereby enhances apoptosis in the human hepatoma cells.
