Plant growth and nutrient uptake characteristics of Fe-deficiency chlorosis susceptible and resistant subclovers

The objective of this study was to evaluate the growth and nutrient-uptake characteristics of Fe-deficiency resistant and susceptible subclover (Trifolium subterraneum L., T. yanninicum Katzn. and Morley, T. brachcalycinum Katzn. and Morley) cultivars on a calcareous soil. Ten subclover cultivars showing varying susceptibilities to Fe-deficiency chlorosis (Karridale, Nangeela, Geraldton, Mt. Barker, Woogenellup, Larisa, Trikkala, Rosedale, Koala and Clare) were grown on a low-Fe, calcareous soil (Petrocalcic Paleustoll) under moist (18% water content, 85% of water holding capacity) and water-saturated conditions using a Cone-tainer^® culture system. Chlorosis and its correlation with growth traits and mineral nutrition of the 10 cultivars were examined. The Fe-deficiency susceptibilities of the 10 cultivars decreased in the above order under the moist condition, but in slightly different order under the saturated condition. Shoot and root dry weights, total dry weight, and root-to-shoot ratio were each negatively correlated with chlorosis under both soil-moisture conditions, as was total shoot content of P, Ca, Fe, Mn and Zn. Shoot P and Fe concentrations were each positively correlated with chlorosis under the moist soil condition. Iron and Cu utilization efficiencies (biomass per unit weight of nutrient) in the shoot were each negatively correlated with chlorosis under the moist soil condition. These results suggest that there may be several characteristics of Fe-deficiency chlorosis resistance in subclovers, such as a more effective soil-Fe mobilizing mechanism(s), more balanced nutrition, lower required Fe concentration in the shoot, higher shoot-Fe utilization efficiency, and higher root/shoot ratio under Fe-deficiency stress conditions.

cDNA approaches to isolation of the mouse mutant weaver gene

The mouse autosomal recessive mutant gene weaver (wv) results in abnormalities in cerebellum, substantia nigra and testis. Although a subtracted cDNA library prepared by removing P31 (wv/wv) sequences from a P1 (wv/+) library should contain mainly nonrepetitive neonatal sequences, unfortunately, repetitive sequences still appear during screening. Two clones, one repetitive, the other not, are used to illustrate the problems encountered in attempting to isolate the weaver gene from a subtracted cDNA library.Special issue dedicated to Dr. Sidney Ochs.

边界层阻力在叶片气体交换过程中的作用

作者对现有的气体交换法的叶室作了改进。从实验上检验了作者根据电学类比分析和模拟检验得到的结论：在已有的气体交换测定装置中,空气流速不变,叶片的边界层导度也固定不变,所得到的结论用于边界层导度变化的情形时,会造成比较大的误差。现加一障碍物使得流过叶片的风速减小,从而改变叶片的边界层导度。通过测量在不同边界层导度下同一叶片的光强曲线可以考察不同边界层导度下的气孔导度、光合速率、蒸腾速率以及它们之间的相互关系。实验结果与作者以前的电学类比分析和模拟得到的结论是基本一致的     

Crystallization and preliminary crystallographic studies of the precursor and mature forms of a neutral lipase from the fungus Rhizopus delemar

A neutral lipase from the filamentous fungus Rhizopus delemar has been crystallized in both its proenzyme and mature forms. Although the latter crystallizes readily and produces a variety of crystal forms, only one was found to be suitable for X-ray studies. It is monoclinic (C2, a = 92.8 Å, b = 128.9 Å, c = 78.3 Å, β = 135.8) with two molecules in the asymmetric unit related by a noncrystallographic diad. The prolipase crystals are orthorhombic (P2₁2₁2₁, with a = 79.8 Å, b = 115.2 Å, c = 73.0 Å) and also contain a pair of molecules in the asymmetric unit. Initial results of molecular replacement calculations using the refined coordinates of the related lipase from Rhizomucor miehei identified the correct orientations and positions of the protein molecules in the unit cells of crystals of both proenzyme and the mature form. © 1994 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.     

几种CAM植物PEP羧化酶同工酶的比较研究

比较研究几种兼性和专一性ＣＡＭ植物材料的ＰＥＰＣ同工酶表明：经自然干旱诱导,兼性ＣＡＭ植物露花（Ｍｅｓｅｍｂｒｙａｎｔｈｅｍｕｍｃｏｒｄｉｆｏｌｉｕｍ）、长药景天（Ｓｕｄｕｍｓｐｅｃｔａｂｉｌｅ）有新的ＰＥＰＣ同工酶的出现,诱导前后各同工酶的天然分子量变化不大;而土三七（Ｓｅｄｕｍａｉｚｏｏｎ）则没有新的ＰＥＰＣ同工酶出现,但诱导后其同工酶的天然分子量有所增大。以上几种兼性ＣＡＭ植物的ＰＥＰＣ同工酶酶谱无明显昼夜变化。专一性ＣＡＭ植物的ＰＥＰＣ酶谱和天然分子量均较一致,亦无昼夜差异。
