不同品种、不同花期的依兰花精油成分研究

为探讨依兰花精油的香气质量,我们对云南省西双版纳产依兰花精油以及引种栽培于西双版纳的泰国种、老挝种的依兰花精油的化学成分在Finnigan-4510 GC/MS/DS上用毛细管柱进行了定性和定量分析,鉴定了44个化学成分。分析结果表明,依兰油的香气与品种及精油中的酯类、醇类和酚醚的含量有关。倍半萜烯类和倍半萜醇类的含量越高,其香气质量越差。就西双版纳产依兰油的香气而言,依兰花由青转黄时得到的精油远较绿花和花蕾油为好。     

Effects of ATP on Phosphatidylinositol-Phospholipase C and Inositol 1-Phosphate Accumulation in Rat Brain Synaptosomes

Incubation of rat brain synaptosomes prelabeled with [2-3H]inositol resulted in a time-dependent release of labeled inositol 1-phosphate. This process was Ca2+ dependent, and ATP (1 mM) enhanced the inositol 1-phosphate formation three- to fivefold. Using [1-14C]arachidonoyl-phosphatidylinositol which was introduced into saponin-permeabilized synaptosomes, ATP (1 mM) and free Ca2+ (approximately 20 microM) enhanced the phospholipase C hydrolysis of this substrate to form labeled diacylglycerol. When the same permeabilized synaptosomal preparation was incubated with [2-3H]inositol-phosphatidylinositol, ATP not only enhanced the formation of labeled inositol 1-phosphate, but also inhibited the conversion of inositol 1-phosphate to inositol. Furthermore, ATP appeared to reduce the Ca2+ requirement of the phosphatidylinositol-phospholipase C. Inhibition of the conversion of inositol 1-phosphate to inositol could not be overcome by increasing the Mg2+ concentration in the incubation medium. Although the ATP effect is not viewed as a receptor-mediated event, it is possible that such an event may occur in synaptosomes under conditions in which intrasynaptic Ca2+ concentration becomes elevated.     

Ethylene production by sunflower cell suspensions : effects of plant growth retardants

From a variety of undifferentiated plant cell suspensions, 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid-dependent cells of sunflower (Helianthus annuus L. Spanners Allzweck) produced large quantities of ethylene. The maximum rate was about 1 nanomole × gram fresh weight⁻¹ × hour⁻¹ during the exponential growth phase. The action of various compounds known to interfere with ethylene formation in plant tissue was studied in sunflower cell suspensions. The influence on ethylene, 1-aminocyclopropanecarboxylic acid (ACC), and N-malonyl-ACC (MACC) levels suggested that the final steps in ethylene synthesis resemble those of other plant systems. This makes sunflower cells suitable for analyzing the effects of biologically active compounds on cellular ethylene biosynthesis. In particular, plant growth retardants of the norbornenodiazetine and triazole type inhibited ethylene production of sunflower cells. On the other hand, the ACC level was considerably elevated while that of MACC did not change significantly. It is assumed that the conversion of ACC to ethylene catalyzed by the ethylene-forming enzyme was influenced.     

镉对雄性小鼠生精细胞的影响

为了研究镉对小鼠生殖力和生精细胞的作用,本文对氯化镉处理后的雄性小鼠进行了交配实验,以观察其对怀孕率、每窝产仔数及子代性比的影响。测定比较了注射镉后,小鼠成熟精子的总LDH酶和LDH-X酶的活性;还用双向电泳方法分析了成熟精子的蛋白质变化。结果表明,处理组在怀孕率、每窝产仔数及子代性比方面无统计学意义的差异。成熟精子的总LDH活性经镉处理后未发现明显变化,但镉能显著地抑制与精子运动的能量有关的LDH-X酶的活性。双向电泳图谱表示,镉处理后,精子中含量较少的三组蛋白质或消失不见,或发生明显变化。     

Electron Microscopic Studies of Spruce Needles in Connection with the Occurrence of Novel Forest Decline

Needles of four spruce trees showing different degrees of novel kinds of forest decline were investigated by electron microscopy. Green needles appearing at least superficially still intact were selected for the present investigation. Most of the mesophyll appeared to be undamaged. However, groups of atypical mesophyll cells were found close to the endodermis or the hypodermis. The chloroplasts of the apparently damaged cells were particularly affected. Changes in the matrix of the chloroplasts, i.e,. increased affinity to osmium, occurrence of extensive nests of plastoglobuli, as well as damage to the membranes, i.e. lesions in the envelope and abnormal thylakoid membranes, were observed. Signs of decomposition of other cellular structures including mitochondria were also detectable. There appeared to be a close correlation between the degree of damage at the whole tree level and the degree of damage occurring at the cellular level. It is concluded that particularly the lipids and the proteinsof, the membranes are affected by anthropogenic air pollutants and natural stressors. The altered membrane structure may for instance cause abnormal osmotic conditions for the cellular compartments and may impair transport processes and thus lead to lossof function not only of the cells but also of the whole needle.     

广东鼎湖山自然保护区原始林与次生林植物虫害研究

广东鼎湖山自然保护区的亚热带季风常绿阔叶林,是我国季风亚热带具典型地带性植被类型。目前,除了保持它的原始林外,还有部分植被因人为活动而受破坏,代之以次生林。原始林内植被的覆盖造成的微环境是一个趋于平衡的生态系统。植物类型与植被环境的变化,改变了植物与昆虫已建立的固定关系,使昆虫栖息环境、食物数量和适食性都发生了变化。对两种林地植物受虫害的研究,有助于阐明植被改变后的生态后果。     

Isolation and identification of the principal siderophore of the plant pathogenic fungusBotrytis cinerea

Summary The plant pathogenic hyphomyceteBotrytis cinerea has been shown to produce several trihydroxamate siderophores under conditions of low-iron stress. The total siderophores amounted to approximately 30 mg/l culture filtrate after 5 days of incubation in an asparagine/salt/glucose medium. Thin-layer chromatography (TLC) and high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) on a reversed phase indicated that ferrirhodin is the predominant siderophore of this fungus. Chemical characterization of the principal siderophore by fast-atom-bombardment (FAB) mass spectrometry, nuclear magnetic resonance (¹H-NMR,¹³C-NMR) and comparison with a reference revealed the identity with ferrirhodin. NMR studies performed on desferrirhodin (desferrirhodin) in dimethylsulfoxide and water revealed the existence of two conformers in D₂O resulting from acis-trans isomerization of the hydroxamic acid groups. Comparative iron-uptake studies showed the following order of uptake inB. cinerea: ferrichrysin (100%), ferrirubin (57%), ferrirhodin (45%), hexahydroferrirhodin (45%), coprogen 6%. Concentration-dependent uptake of ferrirhodin resulted in saturation kinetics only in the low concentration range of 0–30 M (K _m = 2.5 M,V _max = 80 pmol min^–1 mg(^–1). A non-saturable, linear uptake was observed in the high concentration range of 30–80 M. The low concentration range appears to be the physiologically significant range, where siderophore-mediated iron transport inB. cinerea occurs.

利用单克隆抗体(McAb)进行病毒病的治疗是人们所关心的一个重大课题。 流行性乙型脑炎(乙脑)是一种严重威胁人民健康的急性传染病,病死率高,后遗症严重。国内外目前尚无特效疗法。陈伯权等用乙脑病毒皮下或腹腔感染3周龄小白鼠24、48小时及5天后,分别用乙脑病毒51-8McAb进行治疗,平均治愈率分别为78％、73％及22％。     

青海锡铁山矿区铅、锌的植物地球化学特征及其与矿的关系

 通过青海锡铁山铅、锌矿区植物群落和植物中铅,锌含量特征的调查研究表明：该区植被为荒漠植被类型。矿带上的植物群落与非矿带上的相比较,群落中种属数目更少,覆盖度更低,植物生长更低矮。植物灰分中的锌含量(平均)为125.9—1144ppm。膜果麻黄(Ephedra przewalskii)含量最高,变化范围最大,为86.11—5871.88ppm。植物中的铅含量为31.32—1129.6ppm。黑柴(Sympegma regelii)含量较高,变化最大,平均为746ppm,极值为14.3—5561.70ppm。在矿带上含量最高,非矿带对照区含量最低。植物及其生长的土壤中金属元素含量之间的关系,无论是铅还是锌含量都有很好的线性关系。膜果麻黄、黑柴、优若藜(Eurotia ceratoides)和中亚紫菀木(Asterothamnus centrali-asiaticus)等植物相关系数均达显著相关水平(α≤0.05)。 这在植物地球化学勘探上是非常有用的。例如中亚紫菀木和琵琶柴(Reaumuria soongorica)中铅的植物地球化学异常,准确地圈出了铅、锌矿的位置,衬度高,异常范围与矿化区基本吻合。
