ISOLATION AND CHARACTERIZATION OF PHASE-SPECIFIC COMPLEMENTARY DNAs FROM SPOROPHYTES AND GAMETOPHYTES OF PORPHYRA PURPUREA (RHODOPHYTA) USING SUBTRACTED COMPLEMENTARY DNA LIBRARIES1

The red alga Porphyra purpurea (Roth) C. Agardh has a life cycle that alternates between shell-boring, filamentous sporophytes and free-living, foliose gametophytes. The significant morphological differences between these two phases suggest that many genes should be developmentally regulated and expressed in a phase-specific manner. In this study, we prepared and screened subtracted complementary DNA (cDNA) libraries specific for the sporophyte and gametophyte of P. purpurea. This involved the construction of cDNA libraries from each phase, followed by the removal of common clones through subtractive hybridization. Sampling of the subtracted libraries indicated that 8–10% of the recombinant colonies in each library were specific for the appropriate phase. Of 20 putative phase-specific cDNAs selected from each subtracted library, eight unique clones were obtained for the sporophyte and seven for the gametophyte. After confirming their phase-specificities by hybridization to gametophyte and sporophyte messenger RNA, these 15 phase-specific cDNAs were sequenced, and the deduced amino acid sequences were used to search protein databanks. Two proteins encoded by the sporophyte-specific cDNAs and two by the gametophyte-specific cDNAs were identified by their similarity to databank entries.

铅锌矿尾矿场植被重建的生态学研究Ⅰ.尾矿对种子萌发的影响

在实验条件下,供试的林木、农作物及牧草种子均能在铅锌矿尾矿中萌发,其中萌发率与非污染土壤中的相近,多数种子的萌发速率低于对照组。供试植物幼苗出土30天内没有死苗现象,但与对照相比,株高下降28.4%,复叶数减少34.1%,生物量下降52.6%.     

笼养间蜂猴的繁殖

1989年至今,对15只（10,5）成年间蜂猴在人工饲养条件下的繁殖进行观察,结果为：1．间蜂猴的繁殖有明显的季节性;2．发情周期为49．67d(SD=1.25),在此期间,雌性外生殖器红肿,变大;雄性阴囊胀大;3．交配以背腹相贴为主;4．怀孕期为188d;5．哺乳期为108d(SD=4.12);6．均为一胎二仔。     

崖椒茎的化学成分

从崖椒（Zanthoxglum schinifolutm Sieb.et Zucc.)茎的石油醚、二氯甲烷提取物中分离得到8个化合物。经物理常数测定及光谱（UV,IR,MS,NMR)分析鉴定其为（1）白鲜碱（dictamning),（2）茵芋碱（skimmianine),(3)滨蒿内酯（scoparone),(4)崖椒内酯（schinifolin),(5)莨菪亭（scopoletin),（6）7-羟基-8-甲氧基香豆素（7-hydroxy-8-methoxycoumarin),（7）N-甲基弗林辛（N-methylflindersine),（8）β-谷甾醇（β-sitosterol),其中化合物（5）、（6）和（7）为首次从该植物中分离。     

大鼠胰腺γ-氨基丁酸免疫组织化学定位

本文用ABC—GDN免疫组织化学方法,研究了γ-氨基丁酸(Gamma—Aminobutyric Acid,GABA)在大鼠胰腺的定位和分布,并用相邻切片法,观察它与胰岛素的共存关系。结果发现GABA免疫反应阳性细胞主要分布于胰腺内分泌部(胰岛)。在外分泌部亦有少许分布。大部分胰岛细胞呈GABA免疫反应阳性,集中位于胰岛的中央部。相邻连续切片免疫染色证实GABA与胰岛素共存于胰岛B细胞中。外分泌部胰腺GABA免疫反应阳性细胞,呈零散分布于腺泡和导管上皮间。本文为进一步探讨GABA在胰腺的生理作用提供了形态学依据。     

-cyano-substituted analogoues of decarboxylated S-adenosylmethionine as enzyme activated, irreversible inhibitors of S-adenosylmethionine decarboxylase

A pair of -cyano analogues of decarboxylated S-adenosylmethionine (2a and 2b) were synthesized as potential enzyme activated, irreversible inhibitors of the[pyruvoyl enzyme S-adenosylmethionine decarboxylase (AdoMet-DC). Each of these analogues acts as an irreversible inactivator for ADoMet-DC from Escherichia coli (IC₅₀ values of 9 and 50 μM, respectively). These analogues also inactivate human AdoMet-DC, with K_I values of 246.6 and 7.2 μM, and k_inact values of 0.29 and 0.03 min⁻¹, respectively.     

气候变化导致青藏高原马鹿种群适应性分布退缩：以类乌齐马鹿国家级自然保护区为例

近50年青藏高原的气候变化速率是全球平均值的2倍,对高原有蹄类的种群分布和多样性维持带来严重影响。本研究以西藏类乌齐马鹿国家级自然保护区的马鹿种群为例,通过2013年和2021年对马鹿和牦牛种群数量、分布的调查,并整合了物种分布模型和种群动态模型,评估了当前和未来气候变化及人类活动(放牧、道路、居民点等)对马鹿种群适应性分布的影响。研究表明,马鹿种群在2013—2021年由890头增加到1 400头,根据种群增长模型预计在2050年马鹿种群数量将达到1 735头,但其适宜栖息地在2050年代下降43.4%,2070年代下降5.1%,表明马鹿种群增长与适宜栖息地缩小之间的冲突将不利于马鹿种群的可持续发展。同时,当前马鹿与牦牛栖息地重合率为19%,2050年代为60%,2070年代为37%,且牦牛与马鹿存在食物竞争,这在一定程度上减少了马鹿原有的适宜栖息地。为保护马鹿,建议减少牦牛的饲养量1 000～1 500头。本研究将种群增长模型、种间竞争关系与物种分布模型整合,把气候变化对物种的影响延伸到种群层面,对其他物种的保护具有借鉴意义。
