甘蓝型油菜钙依赖蛋白激酶6(BnaCPK6)的定位与互作蛋白分析

为了探究甘蓝型油菜中钙依赖蛋白激酶(calcium dependent protein kinase, CPK)在植物对逆境响应中的作用和机制,同时为油菜品质的升级改良发掘新的基因资源,开展了对于BnaCPK6研究的分子生物学试验。首先,通过在本氏烟草中瞬时表达BnaCPK6与GFP融合蛋白来检测它的亚细胞定位情况;其次,利用双分子荧光互补(Bimolecular fluorescence complementation)试验来检测BnaCPK6与ABA信号通路中转录因子BanABF1/3/4、BnaABI5、BnaAREB3的相互作用情况。结果显示BnaCPK6具有典型的钙依赖蛋白激酶特征,N端具有潜在的棕榈酰化和豆蔻酰化位点,并且与AtCPK6在进化上有着很高的同源性。亚细胞定位的结果发现BnaCPK6主要分布于细胞膜和细胞核中。同时,双分子荧光互补试验还发现BnaCPK6与调控ABA信号转导的关键转录因子BnaABF3/4、BnaABI5以及BnaAREB3之间存在相互作用。本研究为进一步研究BnaCPK6在ABA信号通路中的作用提供了依据。     

唐家河自然保护区小哺乳动物空间生态位初步研究

1989年4～11月,采用去除取样法,对四川省唐家河自然保护区内小哺乳动物的空间生态位宽度和重叠度进行了研究。共安置ll000铗日,捕获小哺乳动物14种846只。根据香农一威纳多样性指数公式以及Cowell和Futuyma公式分别计算了各小哺乳动物种群的空间生态位宽度和空间生态位重叠指数。在14种小哺乳动物中,社鼠的空间生态位宽度指数最大（1．00）,大足鼠、川I西长尾朐、川朐和灰麝朐的最小,均为0。14种小哺乳动物空间生态位重叠指数最大为1,最小为0,其中大足鼠与川西长尾朐及灰麝朐、针毛鼠与川朐的空间生态位彼此完全重叠;藏鼠兔与针毛鼠、大足鼠、洮洲绒鼠、川西长尾朐、川朐以及灰麝朐的空间生态位完全分离。空间生态位完全重叠的种类,是通过选择不同的食物以及不同的微生境来避免过度竞争。回归分析显示,小哺乳动物种群的空间生态位宽度指数与它们利用空间资源的平均值呈显著的正相关（r=0．8285,P〈0．05）。空间生态位宽度指数的季节变化表明,社鼠种群分布没有明显的季节差异,中华姬鼠和安氏白腹鼠每年可能有一个数量高峰期,高山姬鼠一年则可能有两个数量高峰。     

Fine mapping of <Emphasis Type="Italic">Pa-6</Emphasis> gene for purple apiculus in rice

Purple apiculus is one of the important agronomic traits of rice. Single-segment substitution line (SSSL) W23-07-6-02-14 in the genetic background of an elite rice variety Huajingxian74 (HJX74) with the substituted interval of RM225-RM217-RM253 on the chromosome 6 was found to have purple apiculus (Pa). To map the gene governing Pa, W23-07-6-02-14 was crossed with the recipient HJX74 to develop an F₂ secondary segregation population. The ratio of purple apiculus to green apiculus showed a good fit to 3:1 ratio, indicating that Pa was controlled by a major dominant gene. The gene locus for Pa was tentatively designated as Pa-6. Using 430 individuals from the F₂ segregation population, the Pa-6 locus was mapped between two SSR markers RM19556 and RM19561 with genetic distances of 0.2 and 0.3 cM, respectively. For fine mapping of the Pa-6 gene, a large F_2:3 segregation population of 3890 individuals was developed from F₂ heterzygous plants in the RM19556-RM19561 region. Recombinant analyses further mapped the Pa-6 gene locus to an interval of 41.7-kb bounded L02 and RM19561. Sequence analysis of this 41.7-kb region revealed that it contains eleven open reading frames (ORFs), of which, ORF5 is classified as the one that is associated with the C (chromogen for anthocyanin) gene, it was presumed to be the candidate gene for Pa. This result provided a foundation of map-based cloning and function analysis of the Pa-6 gene.     

甘蓝型油菜BnaCIPK15基因的表达分析与功能鉴定

CBL-CIPK是高等植物中广泛存在的一类解析Ca~(2+)信号的蛋白。该研究在前期工作基础上,对甘蓝型油菜(Brassica napus L.)的BnaCIPK15基因进行了亚细胞定位、双分子荧光互补(BiFC)、酵母双杂交和qRT-PCR检测等一系列分析,以探究BnaCIPK15蛋白在ABA激素响应中的作用。结果显示:(1)亚细胞定位发现,BnaCIPK15蛋白定位于细胞质和细胞核中; BiFC分析发现,BnaCIPK15蛋白与BnaCBL1/3/4/9蛋白之间的互作较强,与BnaCBL10仅有微弱互作。(2)qRT-PCR检测发现,BnaCIPK15基因受ABA和冷胁迫的诱导极显著上调表达,而对百草枯(Paraquat)、活性氧(H_2O_2)和热胁迫的诱导较弱,表明BnaCIPK15基因很可能参与ABA和冷胁迫的调控过程。(3)酵母滴定实验结果显示,BnaCIPK15蛋白与脱落酸(ABA)信号通路中的BnaHAB1蛋白(属于蛋白磷酸酶PP2C家族)存在明显的互作,而与BnaABFs/AREB3/ABI5转录因子无明显互作;BiFC验证显示,BnaCIPK15与BnaHAB1蛋白之间存在互作信号,而BnaCIPK15与BnaHAB2组合没有观察到信号,证明BnaCIPK15与BnaHAB1磷酸酶具有特异互作特征,推测BnaCIPK15可能参与调控ABA信号转导。研究认为,甘蓝型油菜中可能存在基于BnaCIPK15-BnaHAB1的互作模块,并参与ABA的信号转导和网络调控。     

Partially Reduced Holey Graphene Oxide as High Performance Anode for Sodium‐Ion Batteries

The current Na⁺ storage performance of carbon‐based materials is still hindered by the sluggish Na⁺ ion transfer kinetics and low capacity. Graphene and its derivatives have been widely investigated as electrode materials in energy storage and conversion systems. However, as anode materials for sodium‐ion batteries (SIBs), the severe π–π restacking of graphene sheets usually results in compact structure with a small interlayer distance and a long ion transfer distance, thus leading to low capacity and poor rate capability. Herein, partially reduced holey graphene oxide is prepared by simple H₂O₂ treatment and subsequent low temperature reduction of graphene oxide, leading to large interlayer distance (0.434 nm), fast ion transport, and larger Na⁺ storage space. The partially remaining oxygenous groups can also contribute to the capacity by redox reaction. As anode material for SIBs, the optimized electrode delivers high reversible capacity, high rate capability (365 and 131 mAh g^?1 at 0.1 and 10 A g^?1, respectively), and good cycling performance (163 mAh g^?1 after 3000 cycles at a current density of 2 A g^?1), which is among the best reported performances for carbon‐based SIB anodes.     

Improved emergy indices for the evaluation of industrial systems incorporating waste management

Emergy analysis is able to account for ecosystems’ contribution to industrial activity. Accordingly, it is an ecologically conscious tool useful for assessing the environmental impact and sustainability of industrial systems. The emergy-based approach requires proper system boundary definitions and uses several standard indices. In this article some perspectives on the deficiencies of three standard emergy indicators - environmental loading ratio (ELR), emergy yield ratio (EYR) and emergy index of sustainability (EIS) - when applied to industrial systems involving waste management are put forward and suggestions for overcoming them given. In addition, in order to account for the impact of waste emissions on the environment, a simple impact amplification factor is proposed for inclusion in the improved emergy indicators. To demonstrate their usefulness and highlight their superiority over standard indices, the improved emergy indicators are used to evaluate the interaction between a commercial polyethylene production process incorporating waste management and its surrounding environment.
