中国西南六种广义拂子茅属( 禾本科) 植物的染色体数目

广义拂子茅属( Calamagrostis) 是一个世界温带广布的大属, 有些作者又分为拂子茅属和野青茅属, 但近期的研究表明处理为一个属较为合适。中国共有37 种广义拂子茅属植物, 但至今没有任何染色体的研究。本文报道了其中产于中国西南6 种野青茅的染色体数目, 其中Deyeuxia petelotii 4 个居群, D1 diffusa, D1 moupinensis, D1 nivicola 和D1f lavens 各一个居群都是四倍体( 2n= 4x= 28) , D1 neglecta 为六倍体( 2n= 6x= 42) 。根据广义拂子茅属植物染色体倍性特征, 该属植物中至今未发现二倍体, 四倍体是该属中倍性最低和最普遍的, 广义拂子茅属的演化很可能是在四倍体的水平上进行的。由于以上几个四倍体种均是狭域分布的类群, 所以可能是由四倍体的祖先隔离分化形成的。

植物化感作用与生物多样性

本文简要地阐释了化感作用的含义、基本特征以及作用机制,并结合生物多样性理论,综述了化感作用研究中化感物种的多样性、化感物质的多样性及其释放途径的多样性,具体讨论了化感作用对物种多样性、遗传多样性及生态系统多样性中的种群生态、协同进化、土壤生境、生态系统功能和生物入侵等方面的可能影响。文中提出了化感作用的利用、管理应与生物多样性保护相统一的看法,并指出对化感作用与生物多样性的关系以及相互影响机制进行本质的探索,特别是对植物化感作用的生态服务功能与价值评估与探讨,可为保护生物学和系统生态学提供理论基础,这也是今后工作开展的一个重要方向。     

葡萄糖和木糖双底物生物转化生产2,3-丁二醇和氢气的代谢计量分析

以Klebsiella pneumoniae利用葡萄糖和木糖双底物生物转化生产2,3-丁二醇和氢气过程为研究对象,对其进行代谢计量分析。分析结果显示:2,3-丁二醇和氢气相对于底物葡萄糖和木糖的质量收率依赖于还原能力NADH2氧化磷酸化的分率(δ)。当δ=27时,即在总还原能力NADH2中有27mol NADH2被氧化磷酸化,剩余部分用来产生氢气,呼吸商为14时,2,3-丁二醇和氢气的最优质量收率分别为50%和0.8%;而当δ=1,即还原能力NADH2全部被氧化磷酸化、不产生氢气,呼吸商为4时,2,3-丁二醇的质量收率为37.5%;2,3-丁二醇和氢气的质量收率与底物中葡萄糖和木糖的比值无关。而氢气的摩尔收率与底物中葡萄糖和木糖的比值相关,当底物全部是葡萄糖或木糖时,其最优摩尔收率分别为71%和60%。该分析结果为葡萄糖和木糖双底物生物转化生产2,3-丁二醇过程的实验研究奠定了理论基础。     

Toxicological and biochemical characterizations of malathion sensitivity in two field populations of Oxya chinensis （Orthoptera： Acridoidea）

We evaluate comparative toxicity of malathion in the two populations of the grasshopper Oxya chinensis, collected from Daixian and Fanshi of Shanxi province, China. General esterases and acetylcholinesterase （ACHE） from the two populations were characterized and compared. LD50 of the Daixian population （7.58 μg/g body weight） was 2.02-fold higher than that of the Fanshi population （3.75μg/g body weight）. General esterase-specific activities in the Daixian population were 1.91,130 and 1.85-fold higher than those in the Fanshi population, when α-NA, α-NB and β-NA were used as a substrate, respectively. Kinetic studies of general esterase showed that Vmax values of general esterases hydrolyzing α-NA,α-NB and β-NA in the Daixian population were 2.15-, 1.12-, and 1.47-fold, respectively, higher than those in the Fanshi population. The AChE activity of the Fanshi population was 1.54-fold higher than that of the Daixian population. Kinetic analysis of AChE showed that significant differences were presented between the two populations in the Km values; and the Vmax value in the Fanshi population was higher than that in the Daixian population. Inhibition studies of AChE indicated that AChE from the Daixian population was 2.56-, 2.80-, and 2.29-fold less sensitive to inhibition by paraoxon, chlorpyrifos-oxon, and demeton-S-methyl, respectively, than that from the Fanshi population. These biochemical characterizations of general esterases and AChE were consistent with malathion bioassay in the two populations. It is inferred that the reduced sensitivity of altered AChE and increased general esterase activities play an important role in the differences of insusceptibility of Oxya chinensis to malathion between the two populations.     

长白落叶松（Larix olgensis）工业人工林的模拟间伐

应用马尔柯夫过程理论,在获得林分直径转移概率的基础上,采用间伐最小径阶林木,最大径阶林木,中间径阶林木三种间伐方式,在保留不同密度情况下对长白落叶松工业人工林进行模拟间伐,提出了适宜的保留密度和相应的抚育间伐对象。结果表明：马尔柯夫过程确能反映长白落叶松工业人工林的直径转移过程,利用马尔可夫过程理论对长白落叶松工业人工林进行模拟间伐实现了依据培育时间来确定间伐方法和措施,提高了长白落叶松工业人工林经营管理的精准性;长白落叶松工业人工林成林后的间伐无论从培育森林方面,还是从取得木材、加大林分收益方面考虑,都应该以间伐小径阶的林木为主,注重培育I、II级木,间伐III, IV级木;20～25 a长白落叶松工业人工林间伐后的保留经营密度以0.7为宜。     

一份条斑和颖花异常水稻双突变体的形态特征和细胞学观察

在水稻遗传转化过程中发现一个不含外源基因的条斑和颖花异常的双突变体。该突变体的茎、叶、穗出现条斑。在分蘖盛期,一些叶片开始分岔或卷曲;花器官数目增多,表现为多内外稃,叶片状浆片,或浆片增大,雌雄蕊增多,颖花开裂。透射电镜对叶片白色组织细胞超微结构观察,发现细胞壁内陷,质体结构异常,不能发育出正常叶绿体所具有的片层和类囊体。叶绿素总含量和净光合速率明显低于野生型。突变体绿色组织部分中的细胞生长正常,但细胞较大。利用扫描电镜对花器官形态发生过程进行观察,雄蕊原基发育严重不同步,原基大小也不一样;心皮原基较小。     

大豆类受体蛋白激酶基因GmRLCK的克隆及初步分析

植物类受体蛋白激酶(receptor-likeproteinkinase,RLK)在高等植物生长发育和环境刺激的信号传导中起着重要的作用。本文报告了一个新的大豆类受体蛋白激酶基因的全长cDNA克隆及对其基因结构和功能的初步分析。研究表明该基因序列编码的蛋白包含一个跨膜域、一个具有丝氨酸/苏氨酸激酶活性的胞内域和一个缺少N-末端信号肽的胞外域。采用生物信息学方法分析表明,该基因与一些拟南芥菜类受体蛋白激酶基因具有很高的相似性,这些激酶N-末端都缺少信号序列,属于植物胞质类受体激酶(receptor-likecytoplasmickinase,RLCK)亚家族。因此命名该大豆基因为GmRLCK(GenBankAccessionNo.AY687390)。对GmRLCK激酶域中磷酸化可能性较高的位点进行了预测。RT-PCR的结果表明,GmRLCK在大豆子叶、根、花以及豆荚中都有较高的表达,而在胚根、茎和成熟叶片中的表达相对较弱。进化分析表明GmRLCK与一些衰老相关的植物类受体蛋白激酶具有较近的亲缘关系。     

Application of the accurate mass and time tag approach to the proteome analysis of sub-cellular fractions obtained from Rhodobacter sphaeroides 2.4.1. Aerobic and photosynthetic cell cultures

The high-throughput accurate mass and time (AMT) tag proteomic approach was utilized to characterize the proteomes for cytoplasm, cytoplasmic membrane, periplasm, and outer membrane fractions from aerobic and photosynthetic cultures of the gram-nagtive bacterium Rhodobacter sphaeroides 2.4.1. In addition, we analyzed the proteins within purified chromatophore fractions that house the photosynthetic apparatus from photosynthetically grown cells. In total, 8,300 peptides were identified with high confidence from at least one subcellular fraction from either cell culture. These peptides were derived from 1,514 genes or 35% percent of proteins predicted to be encoded by the genome. A significant number of these proteins were detected within a single subcellular fraction and their localization was compared to in silico predictions. However, the majority of proteins were observed in multiple subcellular fractions, and the most likely subcellular localization for these proteins was investigated using a Z-score analysis of estimated protein abundance along with clustering techniques. Good (81%) agreement was observed between the experimental results and in silico predictions. The AMT tag approach provides localization evidence for those proteins that have no predicted localization information, those annotated as putative proteins, and/or for those proteins annotated as hypothetical and conserved hypothetical.     

N-乙酰-L-半胱氨酸减轻大鼠胃缺血/再灌注损伤的机制

为研究N-乙酰-L-半胱氨酸(N-acetylcysteine,NAC)减轻大鼠胃缺血/再灌注(gastric ischemia/reperfusion,GI/R)损伤的机制,在大鼠股静脉注射NAC(150mg/kg),夹闭大鼠腹腔动脉30min,再灌注1h制备GI/R模型。取胃后计数胃黏膜损伤指数(gastric mucosal damage index,GMDI),用原位检测(TUNEL)法观察胃黏膜细胞的凋亡,用免疫印迹法测定胃黏膜组织中p-ERK,p-JNK和NF-κB的表达,用RT-PCR法检测TNF-α,Caspase-3的mRNA表达。结果显示,NAC可以减轻GI/R损伤大鼠胃黏膜细胞的凋亡;促进大鼠I/R损伤的胃黏膜组织中p-ERK蛋白的表达,抑制p-JNK和NF-κB的蛋白表达,同时也抑制TNF-α mRNA和Caspase-3 mRNA的表达。股静脉给予辣椒素受体(vanilloid receptor subtype1,VR1)拮抗剂(capsaizepin,CPZ)400mg/kg,能逆转NAC对大鼠GI/R损伤的保护作用。以上结果提示:NAC对大鼠GI/R损伤具有减轻作用,其保护机制可能是通过上调胃黏膜组织中p-ERK,下调p-JNK和NF-κB实现的,且这种保护作用可能与VR1有关。
