从水稻根部悬浮培养细胞分离原生质体及植株再生

以长香稻(Oryza sativa L．)(糯稻)的幼嫩种子根为材料,在Ms和N6培养基上诱导产生结构松软而分散的愈伤组织,经过AA液体培养基振荡悬浮培养,悬浮培养细胞经酶解后得到了活性较高的原生质体,试验结果表明这是分离原生质体较理想的材料。在附加2,4-D lmg／L(以下单位同)、KT(激动素)0．2、各氨酰胺876、天门冬酰胺266的Ms琼脂糖培养基中,诱导出了大量愈伤组织,在含KT2、NAA(α-萘乙酸)0．2、zT(玉米素)0．2、cH(水解酪蛋白)1000和4％椰子汁的N6培养基中成功地诱导出了由原生质体再生的植株。当代原生质体再生植株能正常开花、结实、产生种子;染色体数均为二倍性(2n＝24),最显著的特点是结实率低,穗粒数减步、生育期延迟。     

黑龙江依兰早第三纪植物群的古气候分析

对黑龙江依兰煤矿煤层间的大量植物叶痕化石研究表明：依兰植物群有蕨类植物２ 种,裸子植物１０ 种,被子植物５８ 种,分属３４ 科４６属。植物群可分为两个植物组合：一个是下煤层上顶板的矿页岩层化石的组合,称Ａ 段组合,时代为早始新世。植物种类丰富,含有较多常绿阔叶成分,属北亚热带的常绿阔叶和落叶阔叶、针阔叶混生林。通过植物叶相特征分析,其全缘叶比例为３８％ 。用气候诺模图得出其古气候为年均温１３．２℃,年温差２０℃;另一个植物组合是煤系地层之上,即上煤层顶部的油页岩层中的Ｂ段化石组合,时代为早渐新世。植物以落叶成分为主,属暖温带落叶阔叶林和针阔叶混生林。全缘叶比例为３０％ 。古气候年均温为１１℃,年温差２５℃。表明植物区系组成完全不同,显示出气候随时代发生了演变,而使区系逐渐发展到今日的寒温带气候和植被     

芦苇耐盐变异植株及其细胞学鉴定

用甲基磺酸乙酯（ＥＭＳ）处理芦苇（Ｐｈｒａｇｍ ｉｔｅｓｃｏｍ ｍ ｕｎｉｓ Ｔｒｉｎ．）胚性愈伤组织。从处理后的愈伤组织诱导获得芦苇耐盐变异植株Ｒ５００２－１２。变异植株能在含有１％ ＮａＣｌ的ＭＳ培养基上生长。细胞学检查变异植株是混倍体,染色体数目变异范围在１００至３３ 之间。分蘖植株具有相似的形态学及染色体变异特性     

A simple procedure for the expression of genes in transgenic soybean callus tissue

Cotyledons from germinating seeds of the soybean cultivar Peking were inoculated with virulent Agrobacterium tumefaciens strain A281:pZA-7 which carries a wild type Ti plasmid pTiBo542 and a disarmed Ti plasmid (a binary vector)pZA-7 which contains the glucuronidase (uidA) and neomycin phosphotransferase (nptII) genes. Tumors were produced on all inoculated explants and 82% of these tumor lines were cotransformed by the nptII gene from the binary vector pZA-7 as shown by PCR analysis (18 of 22 lines tested). Eleven of these 18 lines were also resistant to kanamycin. Eleven lines expressed -glucuronidase activity (GUS), six of which were also kanamycin resistant. Since there is a high rate of coexpression of genes carried by the binary vector, this system provides a simple and rapid method for the expression of genes of interest in transformed soybean tissue which has been used successfully to test constructs designed for soybean transformation.     

Inhibition of microsporidian spore germination

Microsporidia are obligate intracellular parasites that are increasingly recognized as significant causes of disease in AIDS patients. Gordon Leitch, Govinda Visvesvara and Qing He here describe the deployment of the microsporidian spore infection apparatus, the polar filament, and show how this may be a useful site for chemotherapeutic interdiction of the infections caused by these parasites.     

A NEW EULOPHID PARASITIZING LITCHI GALL MIDGE FROM CHINA (HYMENOPTERA: CHALCIDOIDEA)

Abstract  Mangocharis litchii sp. nov. is described from south China as a parasitoid of Mayetiola sp. on leaf of litchi tree. The gall midge is a serious pest of the fruit tree in south China. The biology of the new chalcidoid is also dealt with. The genus Mangocharis is new to China.

重组人IL6／2融合蛋白对6.5Gy照射小鼠造血功能恢复的影响

观察了ｈＦＰＩＬ６／２对６．５Ｇｙγ线照射ＮＩＨ小鼠第１０天造血功能恢复的影响。结果表明：照射小鼠连续４ｄ给予ｈＦＰＩＬ６／２２５０μｇ·ｋｇ－１·ｄ－１,其脾重、ＣＦＵ－８、骨髓有核细胞数及ＣＭ－ＣＦＵ分别比对照组增加５９．０％、２７８．５％、５７．９％和１３８．２％,统计学处理均有显著差异;对此四项指标的改善也明显优于２５μｇ组。另外,２５０μｇ剂量组小鼠外周血象３０ｄ的动态观察结果表明,ｈＦＰＩＬ６／２不但能明显提高红细胞和血红蛋白的最低值,而且能使血小板的恢复提前。提示ｈＦＰＩＬ６／２在促进血小板生成和促进红系造血方面可能具有良好的应用前景。     

辐射增敏剂增敏活性的分子连接性研究

计算４２个辐射增敏剂的各阶分子连接性指数ｍＸｔ及△ｍＸｔ,并对其中３８个非对称性化合物的分子连接性指数与其增敏活性进行定量构效关系（ＱｕａｎｔｉｔａｔｉｒｅＳｔｒｕｃｔｕｒｅＡｃｔｉｖｉｔｙＲｅｌａｔｉｏｎｓｈｉｐ,ＱＳＡＲ）的研究,得到相关方程。并分析了影响增敏活性的１ｇＰ、ＥＳ及σ在一定程度上都可通过分子连接性指数表达出来。对这些增敏剂进行分子对称性的研究,发现对称性会降低分子的极性,进而降低其增敏活性。另外,还发现在这些增敏剂中存在亚类现象,并对各亚类的反应机理进行了探讨。
