采后预处理控制甜橙褐斑病的效应

采后预处理使甜橙果皮含水量减少,改善理化性状,降低果实对低温的敏感性,从而控制了福斑病的发生,使发病率从61.7～66.0％降至4.7～6.7％。低温贮藏的呼吸强度和内源乙烯的生成也受到明显的抑制,但对果实的主要内含物和质量并无影响。控制褐斑病发生的适宜的预处理,是在10～15℃和85～90％相对湿度下处理7～10d,使果实重耗约2.5～4.0％。     

Clotrimazole对菠菜叶绿体光合磷酸化和电子传递的抑制作用

10μmol/的clotrimazole不仅抑制光合磷酸化活力,而且抑制各种类型的电子传递,是一个典型的电子传递抑制剂。经过它对叶绿体放氧,荧光和毫秒延迟发光影响的比较研究表明:clotri—mazole在光合电子传递链上的作用部位在Q与PQ之间,即与DGMU的作用部位相同或相近。     

从二溴百里香醌的抑制效应分析融合膜电子传递的途径

甲基紫精(MV)系统中,在对类囊体膜的光合磷酸化(PSP)活力近于完全抑制的二溴百里香醌(DBMIB)浓度下,由类囊体残缺膜与线粒体嵴膜组成的融合膜PSP活力不仅不被抑制,反而受到不同程度的促进。在铁氰化钾(FeCy)系统中,DBMIB对类囊体膜的PSP活力不能完全抑制,同样浓度的DBMIB对融合膜的PSP活力有抑制效应。检测了不同膜在不同系统中,光下耗氧、放氧、FeCy还原和融合效应的关系等,论证了融合膜中电子传递的途径。     

Mobilization of calcium from intracellular stores as one of the mechanisms underlying the antiopioid effect of cholecystokinin octapeptide.

In enzymatically dissociated brain cells prepared from neonatal rats, KCl produced a significant increase in [Ca2+]i and this increase could be prevented by verapamil or nifedipine, known to block voltage-sensitive calcium channels. The opioid receptor agonists ohmefentanyl (OMF, mu agonist), [D-Pen2,D-Pen5]enkephalin (DPDPE, delta agonist), and 66A-078 (kappa agonist) produced a marked suppression of the Ca2+ influx induced by high K+ depolarization. The suppressive effect of OMF, DPDPE, and 66A-078 on the high K(+)-induced increase in [Ca2+]i was markedly reversed by their respective antagonists beta-funaltrexamine (beta-FNA), ICI174864, and nor-binaltorphimine (nor-BNI). Cholecystokinin octapeptide (CCK-8), at concentrations of 0.3, 3.0, and 30 nM, dose-dependently mobilized Ca2+ from intracellular stores. While CCK-8 30 nM did not affect significantly the increase of [Ca2+]i following high K+, it did reverse the suppression of the high K(+)-induced increase in [Ca2+]i by the mu agonist OMF and the kappa agonist 66A-078, but not that by the delta agonist DPDPE. The results suggested that while opioid ligands suppress [Ca2+]i by blocking voltage-operated Ca2+ influx, the antiopioid effect of CCK-8 seems to be operated via mobilization of Ca2+ from intracellular stores.     

赤(瓜包)亚族植物叶片中脉的比较解剖

本文对赤(瓜包)属(Thladiantha Bunge)、白兼果属(Baijiana A.M.Lu et J.Q.Li)和苦瓜属(Momordica L.)共11种植物叶片中脉进行了比较解剖学研究。除苦瓜属一种外,其余10种的叶片中脉解剖学资料均为首次报道。分析结果表明:叶片中脉维管束的数目以及排列方式具有分类学意义,而种间和种内维管束数目的减少,在一定程度上反映出植物迁移和演化的方向。     

云杉核型的研究兼论云杉属的进化地位

本文分析了我国特产树种云杉Picea asperata的核型,K(2n)=24=20m+4sm,属2A类型,染色体相对长度组成为2n=24=2L+12M_2+SM_1+2S。云杉属植物(22种、变种)的核型全由臂比小于2的中部和近中着丝粒染色体构成,是较为原始的核型。根据松科各属核型的比较,作者讨论了云杉属的亲缘关系和进化地位,并得到形态学、解剖学、孢粉学、植化学、生化学及古植物学等的支持。     

Differentiation of the melanotrophic cells of rat pituitary primordium in organotypic culture in defined medium

Summary Organotypic cultures, in defined medium, of pituitary primordia obtained from 15-day-old rat fetuses were performed in order to study the in vitro differentiation of melanotrophic cells. The morphological and ultrastructural features of the transplants resembled those of the gland developing in vivo. In situ hybridization on semi-thin sections, using a ³⁵S-labelled oligonucleotide probe, revealed pro-opiomelanocortin-mRNA-containing cells on the first day of culture in the anterior lobe and after 2–3 days in the intermediate lobe. Immunoperoxidase labelling of adjacent sections showed that the same cells reacted with antibodies against -melanocyte-stimulating hormone (MSH), ₃ and adrenocorticotropic hormone in both lobes. The pro-opiomelanocortin-mRNA-containing cells formed progressively conspicuous areas in the intermediate lobe, which was almost uniformly labelled after 6 days. In the anterior lobe, these cells remained scattered in small cell groups, and colloidal gold immunolabelling showed the progressive disappearance of MSH labelling from the secretory vesicles in cells exhibiting morphological features of adult corticotrophic cells. Both the MSH content of the explants and MSH release into the culture medium increased with time. Treatment with the dopamine agonist bromocriptine induced a strong dose-dependent decrease in MSH secretion, which was significant after 3 days in culture, indicating that dopamine D₂ receptors are able to regulate hormonal release of melanotrophic cells at early stages. This system constitutes a suitable model for further studies of factors controlling cell differentiation and cellular interactions involved in histogenesis.
