β-发卡抗菌肽的全新设计及其生物学活性

通过缬氨酸和精氨酸的交替连接形成β-发卡结构的两条侧链,D-脯氨酸和甘氨酸形成β-转角单元以及侧链末端的两个半胱氨酸连接形成一个二硫键,来设计得到全新的由16残基构成的β-发卡抗菌肽VR。对设计得到的抗菌肽VR的生物学活性进行了检测,主要测定了新型β-发卡抗菌肽VR的最小杀菌浓度、对红细胞的溶血活性、杀菌动力学和盐敏感性。结果发现,VR和蜂毒素具有相似的杀菌活性,而溶血活性远低于蜂毒素,这表明VR比蜂毒素具有更高的细胞选择性。在NaCl的浓度低于100 mmol/L时,VR的杀菌活性没有受到影响;在NaCl的浓度为100 mmol/L时,VR具有50%的杀菌活性。综上可见,VR具有较优异的生物学活性,拥有成为抗生素替代物的发展潜力。     

山东强筋和中筋小麦品质形成的气象条件及区划

1999—2003年选用4个强筋小麦品种和12个中筋小麦品种在山东省的31个县进行试验,以各试验点当地气象站观测的小麦开花至成熟期的气象资料为依据,采用逐步回归和一元非线性回归模型进行分析.结果表明:平均气温分别为20.0℃和20.5℃时,有利于强筋和中筋小麦面团稳定时间的延长;气温日较差分别为12.7℃和11.7℃时,有利于强筋和中筋小麦籽粒蛋白质含量的提高;降水量分别为48.6mm和52.1mm,日照时数分别为297h和299h时,有利于强筋和中筋小麦沉降值的提高;降水量分别为53.5mm和53.9mm,日照时数分别为295h和298h时,有利于强筋和中筋小麦面团稳定时间的延长.单一气象因子对小麦籽粒蛋白质含量、沉降值和面团稳定时间的影响不完全同步.依据对各地气象条件进行综合评价的结果,将山东省划分为胶东与鲁中强筋、中筋小麦适宜区,鲁西北和鲁西南强筋、中筋小麦次适宜区,鲁南强筋小麦次适宜、中筋小麦适宜区.     

A preliminary X-ray study of a refolded PTS EIIBfruc protein from Escherichia coli

The phosphoenolpyruvate-carbohydrate phosphotransferase system (PTS) catalyzes the phosphorylation and transportation of its sugar substrates. A sugar-specific enzyme II complex involved in the PTS finally functions to translocate substrates across the membrane. A PTS EIIB(fruc) protein, a fructose specific EIIB subunit, from Escherichia coli has been cloned, expressed, refolded, purified, and crystallized. The synchrotron data were collected to 2.6 A from the crystal of a selenomethionine substitute PTS EIIB(fruc) protein. The crystal belongs to the primitive trigonal space group P3(1)21, with unit-cell parameters of a = 33.4 A, b = 33.4 A, c = 154.0 A, and beta = 120.0 degrees . A full structure determination is under way to provide insights into the structure-function relationships of this protein.     

Kosteletzkya virginica, a halophytic species with potential for agroecotechnology in Jiangsu Province, China

Kosteletzkya virginica (L.) Presl. is a perennial dicot halophytic species, that grows in brackish portions of coastal tidal marshes of the mid-Atlantic and southeastern United States. New saline mudflats have been increasing every year in Northern Jiangsu, China. In 1993, we introduced K. virginica (L.) into China from the Halophyte Biotechnology Center (University of Delaware, USA) as a potential species to improve the soil and develop ecologically sound saline agriculture. Our nearly 10 years of experimental research, both in a test garden and in the field, indicated that K. virginica adapts excellently to the heavy saline soils of Jiangsu Province, China. The average seed yield of K. virginica in 2001 at Yancheng was 638 kg/ha from 1-year old seedlings. There were significant variations among individuals from the unselected population of K. virginica on growth, quality, and seed yield traits. There is great potential to increase the seed yield if superior clones are selected. The seed yield of 35 selected individuals was six times greater than that of the average. Four growth traits of K. virginica were found to have a significant correlation with seed yield. However, there was no strong positive or negative correlation among seed quality traits. The mean seed weight and the germination ratio of the 35 selected individuals of K. virginica were 16.36±0.32 g and 76.11±1.82%, respectively. The percentage content of oil and crude protein in the seeds was 11.28±0.67 and 8.17±0.19%, respectively. The percentage of seed vigor of the selected individuals was 99%, as determined by soft X-ray radiography.     

条斑紫菜抗高温和快速生长细胞株系HB的建立及栽培

本文主要应用单细胞培养技术培育紫菜新品系,以建立紫菜细胞工程快速育苗系统。通过酶解技术分离出紫菜叶状体细胞,并进行多克隆,从中获得4个细胞纯系植株(HA,HB,HC,HD)。对该4个细胞株系进行了纯系培养,并对其细胞苗和丝状体的生长速度和抗高温(19℃,21℃,23℃,25℃)性进行了测定。结果显示,船株系具有较高的抗高温性和最快生长速度。在1998年到2000年间,在江苏省启东县海丰海区对HB株系进行了海上栽培实验,结果显示,实验组的产量高于当地对照组产量,证明了条斑紫菜船株系不仅具有较高的抗高温性,而且也有较快生长速度。本实验说明应用细胞工程进行条斑紫菜育种是一条很好的快速育种途径。

Invasive alien plant species in China: regional distribution patterns

Plant invasions have been attracting increasing attention from ecologists because of their worldwide environmental impacts and huge economic costs. Research on the characteristics of the recipient regions is essential for understanding the process of plant invasion. However, few previous studies on invasibility of habitats include social factors, although human activities are critical in the process of plant invasion. China is a vast country with high plant species diversity and a long history of introduction of exotic plant species and is particularly vulnerable to invasive plant species. Alien plant species are widespread in the country. Therefore, the study of invasive plants in China is urgent in practice and theoretically important for developing invasion ecology. For the present study, 126 species were selected to represent the major invasive plant species in China. We then collected data on their species richness in 31 provincial administrative units of China and performed Spearman rank correlations between species richness and possible natural and socio‐economic factors. We found that socio‐economic factors, such as human density and GDP, correlated positively with the species richness of invasive plants in China. In conjunction with the natural and socio‐economic correlations in the study of regional distribution pattern of the major invasive plants, we discussed the factors influencing the regional distribution pattern of the major invasive plants in China. We suggest that native plant species richness was mainly determined by the natural conditions of the regions, while invasive species richness was influenced by natural conditions and human disturbance together.
