有机盐对基因启动子的σ因子选择性的影响

用σ￣（７０）或σ￣（３８）和核心酶（Ｅ）组成的大肠杆菌ＲＮＡ聚合酶全酶（Ｅσ）对四种启动子进行了体外转录。结果表明：ｌａｃＵＶ５,ｒｐｌＪ主要被Ｅσ￣（７０）识别,ｋａｔＥ主要被Ｅσ￣（３８）识别,ｆｉｃ在低盐浓度时被Ｅσ￣（７０）识别,在高浓度盐时被Ｅσ￣（３８）识别;Ｅσ￣（３８）转录特异性启动子所需酶量大于Ｅσ￣（７０）转录特异性启动子的酶量;在含有分别对σ￣（７０）或σ￣（３８）亲和性大的混和启动子的体外转录中,启动子之间不存在干扰和竞争,转录水平与启动子浓度成正相关。     

Regulation of cellulase synthesis in mycelial fungi: Participation of ATP and cyclic AMP

Summary ATP and cAMP in 4 strains of mycelial fungi were determined by luciferin-luciferase system and HPLC respectively. Cellulase synthesis was subject to the dual control of ATP and cAMP. No matter what carbon sourse was used, cellulase synthesis was repressed if intracellular ATP concentration was over 10^-7mg/ml. Exogenous cAMP could increase cellulase synthesis under depression conditions.

Genetics of Soybean-Heterodera glycines Interactions

The soybean cyst nematode, Heterodera glycines, is one of the most economically important pathogens of soybean. Effective management of the nematode is often dependent on the planting of resistant soybean cultivars. During the past 40 years, more than 60 soybean genotypes and plant introductions (PI) have been reported as resistant to H. glycines. About 130 modern soybean cultivars registered in the United States are resistant to certain races of H. glycines. Several resistance genes have been identified and genetically mapped; however, resistance levels in many soybean cultivars are not durable. Some older cultivars are no longer resistant to certain H. glycines populations in many production areas, especially if a soybean monoculture has been practiced. Past soybean registration reports show that all resistant cultivars developed in public institutions from the mid-1960s to the present have been derived from five PIs. This narrow genetic background is fragile. To further complicate the issue, soybean-H. glycines genetic interactions are complex and poorly understood. Studies to identify soybean resistance genes sometimes have overlapped, and the same genes may have been reported several times and designated by different names. Nevertheless, many potential resistance genes in existing germplasm resources have not yet been characterized. Clearly, it is necessary to identify new resistance genes, develop more precise selection methods, and integrate these resistance genes into new cultivars. Rational deployment of resistant cultivars is critical to future sustained soybean production.     

Localization of the enzymes involved in H2 and formate metabolism inSyntrophospora bryantii

Cell-free extracts of crotonate-grown cells of the syntrophic butyrate-oxidizing bacteriumSyntrophospora bryantii contained high hydrogenase activities (8.5–75.8 µmol · min^–1 mg^–1 protein) and relatively low formate dehydrogenase activities (0.04–0.07 µmol · min^–1 mg^–1 protein). The K _M value and threshold value of the hydrogenase for H₂ were 0.21 mM and 18 µM, respectively, whereas the K _M value and threshold value of the formate dehydrogenase for formate were 0.22 mM and 10 µM, respectively. Hydrogenase, butyryl-CoA dehydrogenase and 3-OH-butyryl-CoA dehydrogenase were detected in the cytoplasmic fraction. Formate dehydrogenase and CO₂ reductase were membrane-bound, likely located at the outer aspect of the cytoplasmic membrane. Results suggest that during syntrophic butyrate oxidation H₂ is formed intracellularly while formate is formed at the outside of the cell.     

中国东亚飞蝗新类型蝗区──海南热带稀树草原蝗区的生态地理特征及其与大沙河蝗区比较

本文系统地对海南热带稀树草原螟区的生态地理结构特征进行了分析,说明本蝗区是Ｕｖａｒｏｖ（１９３６）提出的飞蝗两类蝗区理论中．由于森林破坏而形成的一类蝗区,作者将它定名为＂热带稀树草原蝗区＂。这类蝗区在我国过去尚缺乏研究。文中进而根据本蝗区的成因、生态特征以及对蝗区的生态控制对策,分别与我国大陆的东亚飞蝗大沙河类型蝗区进行了比较。
