控制常绿针叶树叶量对树干生长的促进作用

一、前言近几年,在研究不同树种的修枝过程中,偶然发现,一些常绿针叶树的人工去叶能加快树干材积的生长,这引起了人们新的研究兴趣:控制常绿针叶树的叶量是否能促进树木生长?这一措施有多少可能的前途或弊端?多年来,人类为寻求促进林木生长的有效经营措施,利用各种手段进行了大量实验研究工作,获得了很有意义的成果,抚育间伐是其中的一项重要途径。由于世界各国的日益重视,60年代以来,很多学     

毛喉鞘蕊花的化学成分研究

本文报导了,从产于滇东北的毛喉鞘蕊花(Coleus forskohlii Brig)的根茎中分离到四个二萜化合物,经光谱分析鉴定,其结构分别为1α,6β,7α-triacetyl-coleonol—B(1),I-acetyl—forskolin(2),coleonol-B(3),和deacetyl-forskolin(4)。化合物(1)和(2)是首次从该植物中分离到。     

应用纯化的重组Epstein-Barr病毒早期抗原建立检测鼻咽癌病人血清IgA/EA抗体的ELISA方法

利用凝胶和离子交换柱(Mono Q)两次层析,将大肠杆菌表达的EB病毒早期抗原P138片段多肽纯化。以此P138为抗原,增加鼠抗人IgA单克隆抗体以扩大IgA的反应,建立了三步ELISA法。用本法检查了100例鼻咽癌病人和63例正常人血清中抗EB病毒IgA/EA抗体,病人血清的阳性检出率为86％,正常人有3例阳性(4.7％)。此结果表明,三步ELISA法较常用的间接ELISA法(阳性检出率为71％)敏感。

Stabilization of a HemA-LacZ hybrid protein against proteolysis during carbon starvation in atp mutants of Salmonella typhimurium.

Transposon insertions that stabilize the beta-galactosidase activity of a HemA-LacZ hybrid protein following carbon starvation were mapped to the atp operon of Salmonella typhimurium. This effect is similar to that seen with nuo mutants defective in the energy-conserving type I NADH dehydrogenase. Insertions in several other genes, including such highly pleiotropic mutants as rpoS, polA, and hfq, were isolated with the same phenotypic screen, but they do not affect the beta-galactosidase activity of HemA-LacZ. All of these mutants act indirectly to alter the colony color of many different fusion strains on indicator plates.     

Effect of density on age-specific mortality in Drosophila: a density supplementation experiment

Age-specific mortality rates were studied at two adult density levels in four inbred lines of Drosophila melanogaster. In experimental populations, adult densities were maintained at constant levels throughout the experiment by replacing dead flies with live, marked mutants. In control populations, densities declined naturally as the cohorts aged. For all experimental populations the best mortality model is the two-stage Gompertz model, with slower mortality acceleration at older ages. Flies in the experimental populations generally lived longer than flies in control populations, regardless of sex, genotype, or initial density level. The data demonstrate that deceleration of age-specific mortality rates at older ages is not caused by declining cohort densities. Mortality deceleration is a real phenomenon that raises serious questions about the evolution of senescence.     

A Bacillus subtilis malate dehydrogenase gene.

A Bacillus subtilis gene for malate dehydrogenase (citH) was found downstream of genes for citrate synthase and isocitrate dehydrogenase. Disruption of citH caused partial auxotrophy for aspartate and a requirement for aspartate during sporulation. In the absence of aspartate, citH mutant cells were blocked at a late stage of spore formation.
