Somatic hybrid plantlets regeneration between Citrus and its wild relative, Murraya paniculata via protoplast electrofusion

Protoplasts isolated from `Page' tangelo (Minneola tangelo × clementine) cell suspension cultures were electrically fused with mesophyll protoplasts of orange jessamine [Murraya paniculata (L.) Jack]. Shoots were regenerated after 6 – 10 months of culture, but they were extremely recalcitrant to producing roots in root-induction medium. Complete plantlets were formed via micrografting. Chromosome counting of shoot tips revealed they were tetraploids (2n = 4x = 36). Glutamateoxaloacetate transaminase isozyme and randomly amplified polymorphic DNA analysis confirmed their hybridity. Orange jessamine is immune to citrus huanglongbin, a severe disease of citrus, but sexual incompatibility and limited graft compatibility exist between Citrus and orange jessamine. The cell fusion technique may make it possible to transfer the huanglongbin resistance trait from orange jessamine to Citrus.

双CSTR耦合系统中乙醇发酵过程中的分岔研究

本文首次运用现代分岔理论方法,研究了双CSTR耦合系统中乙醇发酵过程中的多定态和振荡现象．计算结果表明,当入口糖浓度大于某值时,多定态普遍存在．同时振荡受到底物浓度S_0、两耦合反应器的体积比V_(12)及稀释率D的影响.同单CSTR相比,双CSTR加强了反应深度,并通过适当改变V_(12),产率可大大提高.

Dominant Negative Alleles of SEC10 Reveal Distinct Domains Involved in Secretion and Morphogenesis in Yeast

The accurate targeting of secretory vesicles to distinct sites on the plasma membrane is necessary to achieve polarized growth and to establish specialized domains at the surface of eukaryotic cells. Members of a protein complex required for exocytosis, the exocyst, have been localized to regions of active secretion in the budding yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae where they may function to specify sites on the plasma membrane for vesicle docking and fusion. In this study we have addressed the function of one member of the exocyst complex, Sec10p. We have identified two functional domains of Sec10p that act in a dominant-negative manner to inhibit cell growth upon overexpression. Phenotypic and biochemical analysis of the dominant-negative mutants points to a bifunctional role for Sec10p. One domain, consisting of the amino-terminal two-thirds of Sec10p directly interacts with Sec15p, another exocyst component. Overexpression of this domain displaces the full-length Sec10 from the exocyst complex, resulting in a block in exocytosis and an accumulation of secretory vesicles. The carboxy-terminal domain of Sec10p does not interact with other members of the exocyst complex and expression of this domain does not cause a secretory defect. Rather, this mutant results in the formation of elongated cells, suggesting that the second domain of Sec10p is required for morphogenesis, perhaps regulating the reorientation of the secretory pathway from the tip of the emerging daughter cell toward the mother–daughter connection during cell cycle progression.     

Microhabitat differentiation in Chiuhuahuan Desert plant communities

The effects of microhabitat differentiation on small-scale plant community structure in the Chiuhuahuan Desert were studied using multivariate analysis. The results showed that microhabitats (i.e., kangaroo rat mounds, ant mounds, shrubs, half-shrubs, and open areas) played a critical role in structuring small-scale plant community structure and maintaining species diversity. Annual plants were much more sensitvive to the presence of differentiated microhabitats than perennials and winter annuals exhibited stronger microhabitat perferences than summer annuals. Species diversity was highest on ant mounds while open areas supported the lowest diversity during both winter and summer. Biomass was highest in the shrub habitats followed by kangaroo rat mounds, ant mounds, half-shrubs, and open areas. Much of the diversity of these plants could be explained by the individualistic responses of species to the biotic effect of other plants or to disturbance by animals, or individualistic responses of species to differences in microenvironments.     

Enhanced production of artemisinin by Artemisia annua L hairy root cultures in a modified inner-loop airlift bioreactor

Hairy root cultures of Artemisia annua L were cultured in a modified inner-loop airlift bioreactor for achieving maximum artemisinin production. The effects of initial pH, air flow rate, cycle of light irradiation and temperature on growth and artmisinin production in Artemisia annua L hairy root cultures were investigated. Under the optimum conditions, the maximum production of artemisinin reached to 577.5?mg/l after 20 days.     

人造血干/祖细胞多态性的研究:Ⅺ.人正常骨髓CD34~ 造血细胞周期动力学相关大分子DNA、RNA和PRO含量的分析

DNA、RNA和PRO的合成、积累及相互关系是调控细胞周期动力学最主要的三个参数。同时检测这些组成部分能够更精确细致地评判细胞的周期动力学特征。本文探索了人正常骨髓CD34~ 造血细胞周期动力学相关大分子DNA、RNA和PRO的含量,以便认识CD34~ 造血细胞周期动力学的特征。用新型CIMS-100免疫磁性分离系统高效富集人骨髓CD34~ 造血细胞,经FCM及APAAP鉴定,富集的CD34~ 造血细胞的纯度达90～95%。随之采用碘化丙啶(PI)、派若宁Y(PY)及异硫氰荧光素(FITC)分别进行标记DNA、RNA和PRO并在FCM上检测。结果表明,DNA、RNA和PRO在CD34~ 造血细胞中的含量明显低于单个核细胞,分别仅占后者的34±3%、48±21%及62±14%。结合我们以往的结果,我们认为CD34~ 造血细胞的确是一独特的体细胞群,不仅表现在重建造血与免疫学功能上,而且表现在细胞周期动力学上。据我们所知,这是目前国际上首次有关人CD34~ 造血细胞周期动力学相关大分子的系统分析报道,提供了大多数CD34~ 造血细胞处于静止期的直接证据。
