湿地松粉蚧夏季数量凋落的原因分析

利用生命表技术及其相应的控制指数分析方法,对新侵入害虫湿地松粉蚧Ｏｒａｏｅｌｌａａ－ｃｕｔａ（Ｌｏｂｄｅｌｌ）夏季数量凋落的某些因子进行了量化分析。结果表明：在广东南部的新侵入区,夏季高温引起的松梢迅速老化,上代为害以后引起的营养质量的变化、拥挤以及煤污病的严重发生等,均对湿地松粉蚧夏季种群数量的凋落有着明显的影响,其总的排除作用控制指数ＥＩＰＣ为４６．８９,如果排除这几个因子的作用,下代种群的数量将为当代的４６．８９倍。     

16S ribosomal DNA sequence identities of beta-proteobacterial endosymbionts in three Crithidia species.

The 16S ribosomal DNA sequences of endosymbionts from the trypanosomatid protozoa (Crithidia spp.) are most homologous to that of Bordetella spp. This finding extends the polyphyletic origin of endosymbionts for the first time to the beta Proteobacteria. Biased base transitions and compensatory mutations of the symbionts' sequences that may contribute to their identity in the three Crithidia spp. are noted.     

Protection of transforming growth factor β activity by heparin and fucoidan

The transforming growth factor-β (TGF-β) family of proteins exert diverse and potent effects on proliferation, differentiation, and extracellular matrix synthesis. However, relatively little is known about the stability or processing of endogenous TGF-β activity in vitro or in vivo. Our previous work indicated that (1) TGF-β1 has strong heparin-binding properties that were not previously recognized because of neutralization by iodination, and (2) heparin, and certain other polyanions, could block the binding of TGF-β1 to α₂-macroglobulin (α₂-M). The present studies investigated the influence of heparin-like molecules on the stability of the TGF-β1 signal in the pericellular environment. The results indicate that heparin and fucoidan, a naturally occurring sulfated L-fucose polymer, suppress the formation of an initial non-covalent interaction between ₁₂₅I-TGF-β1 and activated α₂-M. Electrophoresis of ₁₂₅I-TGF-β1 showed that fucoidan protects TGF-β1 from proteolytic degradation by plasmin and trypsin. While plasmin caused little, if any, activation of latent TGF-β derived from vascular smooth muscle cells (SMC), plasmin degraded acid-activated TGF-β, and purified TGF-β1, and this degradation was inhibited by fucoidan. In vitro, heparin and fucoidan tripled the half-life of ₁₂₅I-TGF-β1 and doubled the amount of cell-associated ₁₂₅I-TGF-β1. Consistent with this protective effect, heparin- and fucoidan-treated SMC demonstrated elevated levels of active, but not latent, TGF-β activity. © 1994 wiley-Liss, Inc.     

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

Effect of plant genotype on the transformation of cultivated alfalfa (Medicago sativa) by Agrobacterium tumefaciens

The trait for somatic embryogenesis is being introduced sexually into alfalfa (Medicago sativa) breeding populations to facilitate genetic transformation of this crop. Cocultivation experiments were conducted with an agronomically-improved embryogenic clone from one such population as well as with two other embryogenic clones, one of which was the source of the embryogenic trait in the breeding populations. Transgenic plants were produced from the agronomically-improved clone whereas none were produced from the other two clones. Among the 16 transgenic plants analyzed there was a range in both copy number and number of integration sites for the NPT-II gene; those plants regenerated after a prolonged selection phase in vitro generally had the highest numbers in both respects. There was no evidence of sectoral chimerism of the transgene in a subsample of transgenic plants analyzed by PCR.     

Homology models of two isozymes of manganese peroxidase: Prediction of a Mn(II) binding site

The three-dimensional structures of two isozymes of manganese peroxidase (MnP) have been predicted from homology modeling using lignin peroxidase as a template. Although highly homologous, MnP differs from LiP by the requirement of Mn(II) as an intermediate in its oxidation of substrates. The Mn(II) site is absent in LiP and unique to the MnP family of peroxidases. The model structures were used to identify the unique Mn(II) binding sites, to determine to what extent they were conserved in the two isozymes, and to provide insight into why this site is absent in LiP. For each isozyme of MnP, three candidate Mn(II) binding sites were identified. Energy optimizations of the three possible Mn(II) enzyme complexes allowed the selection of the most favorable Mn(II) binding site as one with the most anionic oxygen moieties best configured to act as ligands for the Mn(II). At the preferred site, the Mn(II) is coordinated to the carboxyl oxygens of Glu-35, Glu-39, and Asp-179, and a propionate group of the heme. The predicted Mn(II) binding site is conserved in both isozymes. Comparison between the residues at this site in MnP and the corresponding residues in LiP shows that two of the three anionic residues in MnP are replaced by neutral residues in LiP, explaining why LiP does not bind Mn(II). © 1994 Wiley-Liss, Inc.     

西藏高原植物元素背景值的初步研究

根据西藏植物样品中化学元素的测定结果,提出了西藏高原植物中３６种元素的背景值并与全球平均值作了比较。初步研究了西藏高原植物化学元素的特点,认为本区植物有营养元素亏缺现象,营养水平较低;Ａｌ,Ｔｉ,Ｃｒ,Ｂａ的含量偏高;大多数元素含量高低与其生长地的土壤环境有关;植物地上部分元素含量较根系丰富,不同种之间的差异主要表现在营养元素上。
