千里光配子体发育、配子形成与双受精的细胞学特征

千里光（Senecio scandens Buch.-Ham.ex D.Don）是具有良好开发前景的传统抗菌中草药。为了探讨该物种有性生殖的细胞学机制,实现在物种的遗传育种过程中的指导作用,本研究从细胞学角度观察了千里光配子体发育、配子形成和双受精作用。结果表明,在生殖核分裂为精细胞的过程中,其位置和形态呈现差异,表现为"二态"精细胞;此外,雌配子体的形成符合孢子发育模式,成熟胚囊的形态结构为卵形或梨形,成熟的卵细胞和极核位于珠孔端。根据上述结果可推断,合子在随后二分裂时表现为"基细胞-顶细胞"极性,可能与"二态"精细胞导致的合子细胞质不均一有关。此外,从植物分类学角度,千里光的"二态"精细胞,胚囊极性和合子极性可成为菊科近缘植物分类的细胞学依据。

Metabolomic analysis reveals the potential metabolites and pathogenesis involved in mulberry yellow dwarf disease

To analyse the molecular mechanisms of phytoplasma pathogenicity, the comprehensive metabolomic changes of mulberry leaf and phloem sap in response to phytoplasma infection were examined using gas chromatography‐mass spectrometry. The metabolic profiles obtained revealed that the metabolite compositions of leaf and phloem sap were different, and phytoplasma infection has a greater impact on the metabolome of phloem sap than of leaf. Phytoplasma infection brought about the content changes in various metabolites, such as carbohydrates, amino acids, organic acids, etc. Meanwhile, the results of biochemical analysis showed that the degradation of starch was repressed, and the starch content was increased in the infected leaves. In addition, we found that phytoplasma infection changed the levels of abscisic acid and cytokinin and break phytohormone balance. Interestingly, our data showed that the contents of H₂O₂ and superoxide were increased in the infected leaves, but not in the phloem saps. Based on the results, the expression levels of the genes involved in the metabolism of some changed metabolites were examined, and the potential molecular mechanisms of these changes were discussed. It can be concluded that both the leaf and phloem saps have a complicated metabolic response to phytoplasma infection, but their response mechanisms were different.     

Phylogenetic and taxonomic relationships of the Polypedates leucomystax complex (Amphibia)

Kuraishi, N., Matsui, M., Hamidy, A., Belabut, D. M., Ahmad, N., Panha, S., Sudin, A., Yong, H. S., Jiang, J.‐P., Ota, H., Thong, H. T. & Nishikawa, K. (2012). Phylogenetic and taxonomic relationships of the Polypedates leucomystax complex (Amphibia). —Zoologica Scripta, 42, 54–70. We investigated the phylogenetic and taxonomic relationships and estimated the history of species diversification and biogeography in the Asian rhacophorid genus Polypedates, focusing on the Polypedates leucomystax complex, whose members are notoriously difficult to classify. We first estimated phylogenetic relationships within the complex using 2005‐bp sequences of the mitochondrial 12S rRNA, tRNA^val and 16S rRNA genes with maximum parsimony, maximum likelihood (ML) and Bayesian methods of inference. Polypedates exhibits well‐supported monophyly, with distinct clades for P. otilophus, P. colletti, P. maculatus and the P. leucomystax complex, consisting of P. macrotis, and the Malay (Polypedates sp. from Malay Peninsula), North China (P. braueri), South China (Polypedates cf. mutus 1), Indochina (P. megacephalus), Sunda (P. leucomystax) and Laos (Polypedates cf. mutus 2) clades. In a subsequent phylogenetic analysis of 4696‐bp sequences of the nuclear brain‐derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF), sodium/calcium exchanger 1 (NCX), POMC, Rag‐1, Rhod and Tyr genes using Bayesian methods of inference, all of these clades were recovered. Some clades of the P. leucomystax complex occur sympatrically and show high genetic diversity or morphological and acoustic differences. Similar tendencies were observed between some allopatric clades. Therefore, we consider each of these groups to be distinct specifically. We also estimated absolute divergence times within the genus using Bayesian methods. Divergence in Polypedates began with the divergence of a primarily South Asian Clade from the common ancestor of secondarily South‐East Asia P. maculatus and South‐East Asian members. The divergence between the latter occurred much later. The P. leucomystax complex diverged in the Pliocene, much later than other congeners, and seems to have been greatly affected by human‐related dispersal after the Pleistocene.

中国鲎胚胎血细胞生成的初步电镜观察

人工孵育的鲎胚,以光镜和电镜观察其血细胞发生过程。血细胞包括变形细胞和蓝细胞二系列,均可分为原始、幼稚和成熟三阶段。血细胞生成开始于胚胎的附肢原基形成阶段,变形细胞最早见于胚区,蓝细胞先出现于胚外部分。鲎胚中未发现具备组织结构的造血器官,造血系在结缔组织和血腔中进行。
