大棚黄瓜霜霉病气候生态防治方法研究再报——高温控制与病情和产量关系及其防治指标

本文采用田间温度控制试验资料,用数理统计的方法分析高温控制范围、控制时间和控制频率与大棚黄瓜霜霉病的发生期、流行期、发生程度以及产量的关系,并建立了统计相关模式,确定了高温控制生态防治方法的技术指标。最高温度、高温控制时间和控制频率这3个主要指标与病情和黄瓜产量的关系非常密切,最高气温每升高1℃,发病期和流行期将推迟3—5天,病叶率降低13—15％,黄瓜产量可增长10％左右。在一定范围内,控制时间越长,频率越高,则发病期和流行期越晚,病情越轻,产量越高。研究证明,高温控制方法是一个有效的生态防治方法,具有明确的气候生态学依据。     

Direct competitive chemiluminescence immunoassays based on gold‐coated magnetic particles for detection of chloramphenicol

Direct competitive chemiluminescence immunoassays (CLIA) based on gold‐coated magnetic nanospheres (Au‐MNPs) were developed for rapid analysis of chloramphenicol (CAP). The Au‐MNPs were modified with carboxyl groups and amino groups by 11‐mercaptoundecanoic acid (MUA) and cysteamine respectively, and then were respectively conjugated with CAP base and CAP succinate via an activating reaction using 1‐ethyl‐3‐(3‐dimethylaminopropyl)carbodiimide hydrochloride (EDC) and N‐hydroxysuccinimide (NHS). NSP‐DMAE‐NHS, a new and effective luminescence reagent, was employed to label anti‐CAP antibody (mAb) as a tracer in direct CLIA for CAP detection using a ‘homemade’ luminescent measurement system that was set up with a photomultiplier tube (PMT) and a photon counting unit linked to a computer. The sensitivities and limits of detection (LODs) of the two methods were obtained and compared according to the inhibition curves. The 50% inhibition concentration (IC₅₀) values of the two methods were about 0.044 ng/mL and 0.072 ng/mL respectively and LODs were approximately 0.001 ng/mL and 0.006 ng/mL respectively. To our knowledge, they were much more sensitive than any traditional enzyme‐linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) ever reported. Moreover, the new luminescence reagent NSP‐DMAE‐NHS is much more sensitive and stable than luminol and its derivatives, contributing to the sensitivity enhancement.

棕色棉F3'H-羟化酶基因的克隆与生物信息学分析

根据葡萄的类黄酮3′-羟化酶(F3'H)基因全长cDNA序列Blast所得棉花的EST序列设计引物,以开花后16 d(DPA16)的新彩棉5号(xC-5)纤维为材料,利用RACE和RT-PCR技术分离得到了2个类黄酮3′-羟化酶基因cDNA序列,此2个序列编码区完全相同,仅在3'UTR区存在片段长短的差异,推测可能是基因转录后加工方式不同所造成.克隆所获得的棉花F3'H基因编码区全长1 533 bp,编码510个氨基酸,氨基酸序列分析预测表明,该基因所编码蛋白含有一个跨膜结构域,是一种分泌蛋白,定位于内质网上,并含有一段与细胞色素P450功能区相匹配的保守功能域;序列比对结果表明,棉花F3'H基因与其他多个物种的F3'H基因在氨基酸序列上有较高的同源性;聚类分析结果表明,棉花F3'H蛋白与双子叶植物大豆的F3'H亲缘关系较为接近,而与单子叶植物高梁等作物则较远.     

Pattern recognition analysis to the variation of nasal-pharynx cancer patients' trace element levels in samples of hair,whole blood,and tissue

Pattern recognition has been used in this paper to analyze trace element levels in patients diagnosed with nasal-pharynx cancer (NPC) and in healthy control subjects. Trace elements such as Zn, Cu, Fe, Mn, and Mg have been tested in samples of hair and whole blood. Through Mahalanobis Distance Decision analysis, we have achieved good classification effects in whole blood samples: Efficiency for distinguishing patients is 96% and that of healthy controls is 90%. Classification hair samples is inferior to whole blood: Decision accuracy for patients is 58% and healthy controls is 90%. These results are also shown in a nonlinear mapping figure. At the same time, we have also determined 5 trace element levels in 16 other cancer patients' nonneoplastic and cancerous tissue, with no significant difference between them: Decision accuracy of cancerous tissue is 63%, and in nonneoplastic tissue is 50%, hence, we cannot identify them. It can be inferred that there is no idiosyncratic change of trace elements in cancer patients' neoplastic tissue, the change of a cancerous person may occur in the whole body.     

带内含子卡那霉素抗性基因双元载体构建及烟草转化

农杆菌介导法是植物基因转化的常用方法,然而由于筛选培养基中常用的抗生素头孢霉素和羧苄青霉素具有类植物激素活性,影响外植体的再生和转化频率。将一个植物的内含子插入卡那霉素抗性基因编码区的N端,合成了一个带内含子的卡那霉素抗性基因。构建带该基因的植物双元表达栽体pYP1202并转化烟草,受侵外植体在含卡那霉素50～200mg/L的选择培养基中抗性芽分化频率不受卡那霉素浓度影响,然而具有GUS活性的转化子占分化芽的比例却随着卡那霉素浓度的增加而升高。当培养基中加入500mg/L羧苄青霉素后受侵外植体产生的抗性芽频率比单一的卡那霉素筛选提高近1倍,高达91.4％,然而具GUS活性的转化子占抗性芽的比例仅有26.7％,在200m/L的卡那霉素筛选下,比例升至93.3％。用带内含子卡那霉素抗性基因构建的植物表达载体转化植物可以减少假抗性芽的产生。     

C4-dicarboxylates sensing mechanism revealed by the crystal structures of DctB sensor domain

C₄-dicarboxylates are the major carbon and energy sources during the symbiotic growth of rhizobia. Responses to C₄-dicarboxylates depend on typical two-component systems (TCS) consisting of a transmembrane sensor histidine kinase and a cytoplasmic response regulator. The DctB-DctD system is the first identified TCS for C₄-dicarboxylates sensing. Direct ligand binding to the sensor domain of DctB is believed to be the first step of the sensing events. In this report, the water-soluble periplasmic sensor domain of Sinorhizobium meliloti DctB (DctBp) was studied, and three crystal structures were solved: the apo protein, a complex with C₄ succinate, and a complex with C₃ malonate. Different from the two structurally known CitA family of carboxylate sensor proteins CitA and DcuS, the structure of DctBp consists of two tandem Per-Arnt-Sim (PAS) domains and one N-terminal helical region. Only the membrane-distal PAS domain was found to bind the ligands, whereas the proximal PAS domain was empty. Comparison of DctB, CitA, and DcuS suggests a detailed stereochemistry of C₄-dicarboxylates ligand perception. The structures of the different ligand binding states of DctBp also revealed a series of conformational changes initiated upon ligand binding and propagated to the N-terminal domain responsible for dimerization, providing insights into understanding the detailed mechanism of the signal transduction of TCS histidine kinases.     

云南石林公园不同生境蚂蚁多样性研究

2003年5月下旬(雨季初期)和9月下旬(雨季后期),选择云南石林公园地带性植被滇青冈(Cyclobalanopsisglaucoides)林(原始林)、次生林、灌丛、草地、云南松(Pinusyunnanensis)林5种生境,采用陷阱诱捕法采集蚂蚁,共获蚂蚁8775头,隶属4亚科16属26种。优势种为阿诗玛无刺蚁(Kartidrisashima)、布立毛蚁(Pseudolasiusbournica)和重庆弓背蚁(Campontuschongqingensis)。两个季节蚂蚁多样性指数均以原始林最低,灌丛和松林最高。各生境蚂蚁群落相似性低,相似性系数在0–0.2609之间。结果显示,蚂蚁的多样性受多种环境因子影响;与地带性植被相比,蚂蚁群落在人为干扰的各种生境中已发生较大的变化。     

两种烟草对烟夜蛾实验种群和自然种群增长的影响

烟夜蛾对黄花烟草的产卵趋性显著高于普通烟草,为明确亲代成虫的产卵选择行为对其后代种群增长的影响,分别在室内和自然条件下,应用生命表技术测定了两种烟草对烟夜蛾的生长发育和存活、食物的转化和利用以及种群增长的影响.结果表明:(1) 室内(26±1)℃、(75±5)% R.H和16L:8D光周期条件下,与普通烟草相比,黄花烟草上幼虫的发育历期显著延长,1～3龄各期幼虫的存活率及雌蛾产卵量显著降低,种群净增殖率(R0=16.1086)和内禀增长率(rm=0.0848)减小.(2) 6龄幼虫对两种烟草的相对取食量(RCR)和近似消化率(AD)无显著差异,但是对黄花烟草的利用率(ECI)、转化率(ECD)及其相对生长率(RGR)显著下降.(3) 第二代烟夜蛾在普通烟田的种群数量呈上升趋势(I=1.0325＞1),而在黄花烟田呈下降趋势(I=0.6577＜1),第三代烟夜蛾种群在两种烟田均呈下降趋势,但普通烟田的种群增长(I=0.4571)大于黄花烟田(I=0 3592).这些结果表明,黄花烟草较不适合烟夜蛾的繁殖和种群增长,其寄主适合性不如普通烟草.
