Recent advances in plant cell cultures in bioreactors

Two key issues in the application of plant-cell-culture technology to the production of valuable secondary metabolites are reviewed: the selection of cell lines with suitable genetic, biochemical and physiological characteristics; and the optimization of bioreactor environments. Although great progress has been made in recent years in the design, selection and optimization of bioreactor hardware, optimization of environmental factors such as medium components, light irradiation and O₂ supply needs detailed investigations for each case. With a better understanding of plant cell metabolism and physiology, further developments in cultivation processes, such as process integration and on-line monitoring and control, can be expected in the near future.J.-J.

中国蚜科新纪录,4

在调查云南森林昆虫中发现下述种类为我国首次纪录。 大尾小长管蚜Macrosiphoniella grandicauda Takahashi et Kuwana, 1963,中国新纪录。采自云南丽江(林科所1980.V.23),各型孤雌蚜。寄主为艾蒿,盖满3—4寸嫩梢。活体叶绿色,体稍扁。不易从植物上坠落。国外分布于朝鲜、日本和印度。     

大熊猫臼齿釉质的超微结构和氨基酸组成

大熊猫臼齿釉质的超微结构特征主要是施氏明暗带的宽度一般由8—15条釉柱组成;釉柱的横切面一般呈六角形或四角形,由里向外,釉柱的直径逐渐增大。在靠近釉牙本质界处,釉柱数量逐渐减少,有时甚至完全缺失,形成无釉柱结构的釉质。大熊猫臼齿釉质的氨基酸组成主要以甘氨酸,丙氨酸,谷氨酸,天冬氨酸和亮氨酸的含量为最高,而蛋氨酸,胱氨酸和酪氨酸的含量为最低。另外,还含有少量的羟脯氨酸。这种组成模式一般与人类和其它哺乳动物牙齿釉质的氨基酸组成相类似。     

猕猴桃品种‘金桃’采收指标与果实软熟品质相关性研究

分别对河南省27个果园的中华猕猴桃（Actinidia chinensis Planch.）品种‘金桃’果实的5项采收生理指标及果实软熟时的8项品质性状进行测定,采用主成分分析法对果实软熟时的品质指标进行综合评分,并对果实的采收生理指标、果实软熟品质指标及综合分值间进行相关性分析。结果显示,采收时的生理指标（干物质、色度角、硬度和可溶性固形物）均与果实软熟品质综合分值间呈极显著相关,其中干物质相关系数最高,为0.437。干物质与体现果实软熟品质的关键指标（可溶性固形物、总糖和糖酸比）均呈极显著性相关。研究结果表明‘金桃’果实采收时,干物质含量是果实软熟时品质的重要评价指标,而可溶性固形物和色度角是评判采收期的辅助指标。     

蜀龙头骨及脑颅的解剖

本文对蜥脚类蜀龙(Shunosaurus)的脑颅分别从其头骨特征、脑垂体、耳区、视觉系统、脑神经等诸方面进行了较为详细的解剖研究,结果表明 Shunosaurus 内颈动脉不分叉;基蝶骨突强烈收缩;外淋巴囊出现在中耳及 IX、X、XI 孔与颈静脉孔内分外合等现象十分独特.因此,Shunosaurus 应视为一种特化的原始蜥脚类.     

甲壳动物的生殖量与环境关系：Ⅱ.桡足类

本文是《甲壳动物的生殖量与环境关系》系列论文的第二篇,专述桡足类。它和枝角类一样,是一类小型低等甲壳动物,也是浮游生物群落的一个重要组成部分。种类多、数量大、分布广是它的生态特点。由于生活习性不     

Determination of 3-(5-cyclopropyl-1,2,4-oxadiazol-3-yl)-5-(1-methylethyl)imidazo[1,5-a]quinoxalin-4(5H)-one in serum by high-performance liquid chromatography

A high-performance liquid chromatographic assay with solid-phase extraction (SPE) for the rapid and sensitive quantitation of 3-(5-cyclopropyl-1,2,4-oxadiazol-3-yl)-5-(1-methylethyl)imidazo[1,5-a]quinoxalin-4(5H)-one (I, U-78875) in serum is described. The validation results indicated that the present method had excellent intra- and inter-assay precision (≤ 9.5%, mean ± S.D. = 3.9±3.0%, n = 25) and accuracy (≤ 10.0%, mean ± S.D. = 3.0 ± 2.9%, n = 25), as well as improved sensitivity (2 ng/ml, using a 100-μl injection). Each chromatographic run is only 10 min and the organic solvent for the extraction of I and internal standard (U-82217) from serum was only 300 μl. The application results obtained from the SPE method were in good agreement with the advanced automated sample preparation method.
