浙江丽水白云山红豆树人工林的径级结构和空间分布格局

采用固定样地调查的方法,在浙江丽水白云山林场的红豆树人工林中共建立两个20 m×40 m的监测样地(1号样地和2号样地),并进行群落调查。结果表明:(1)共记录到乔木和灌木物种13种,优势种主要为红豆树、深山含笑(Michelia maudiae)和刨花楠(Machilus pauhoi)等。两个样地的径级结构均成倒"J"分布。(2)从空间分布看,两个样地的红豆树均基本呈现随机分布。在较小空间尺度上,1号样地和2号样地的其他树种与红豆树之间均呈负相关,特别是1号样地。(3)通过分析环境因子对红豆树胸径生长的影响,发现样地内除土壤厚度外,其他因子如全氮、全磷含量、p H值及凋落物等对红豆树的生长影响不大。研究认为:(1)白云山的红豆树人工林尚具有较大的生长潜力。(2)红豆树的种内竞争可较小,而红豆树和其他树种之间则可能存在较强的种间竞争。(3)后期管理过程中,该类林分可以适当伐除其他树种,并对大红豆树进行修枝,即有利于干形也可促进小红豆树的生长,同时加强对土壤厚度的管理。通过对40年生红豆树成熟人工林的径级结构和空间分布格局的研究,可以更好地了解林分结构特征和物种更新过程。

水稻半矮化多分蘖突变体f2-132的表型分析和基因定位

半矮化多分蘖突变体f2-132由60Co-γ辐射诱变粳稻品种F2-285A获得。遗传分析表明该性状受1对隐性基因控制,已将突变基因定位在第4染色体长臂上2个Indel标记C4-Z3和C4-Z4之间,物理距离为46 kb。该区间内包含一个已报道的多分蘖基因D17/HTD1,对f2-132中的D17基因测序发现编码区第395位的碱基由T突变为C,导致第132位的氨基酸由苯丙氨酸变成丝氨酸。D17/HTD1编码类胡萝卜素裂解双加氧酶7(CCD7,carotenoid cleavage dioxygenase 7),是植物激素独脚金内酯(SLs,strigolactones)合成途径中的重要酶之一。利用SLs的人工合成类似物GR24处理f2-132,其多分蘖表型受到抑制。

Litterfall Production Along Successional and Altitudinal Gradients of Subtropical Monsoon Evergreen Broadleaved Forests in Guangdong, China

Evaluation of litterfall production is important for understanding nutrient cycling, forest growth, successional pathways, and interactions with environmental variables in forest ecosystems. Litterfall was intensively studied during the period of 1982–2001 in two subtropical monsoon vegetation gradients in the Dinghushan Biosphere Reserve, Guangdong Province, China. The two gradients include: (1) a successional gradient composed of pine forest (PF), mixed pine and broadleaved forest (MF) and monsoon evergreen broadleaved forest (BF), and (2) an altitudinal gradient composed of Baiyunci ravine rain forest (BRF), Qingyunci ravine rain forest (QRF), BF and mountainous evergreen broadleaved forest (MMF). Mean annual litterfall production was 356, 861 and 849 g m⁻² for PF, MF and BF of the successional gradient, and 1016, 1061, 849 and 489 g m⁻² for BRF, QRF, BF and MMF of the altitudinal gradient, respectively. As expected, mean annual litterfall of the pioneer forest PF was the lowest, but rapidly increased over the observation period while those in other forests were relatively stable, confirming that forest litterfall production is closely related to successional stages and growth patterns. Leaf proportions of total litterfall in PF, MF, BF, BRF, QRF and MMF were 76.4%, 68.4%, 56.8%, 55.7%, 57.6% and 69.2%, respectively, which were consistent with the results from studies in other evergreen broadleaved forests. Our analysis on litterfall monthly distributions indicated that litterfall production was much higher during the period of April to September compared to other months for all studied forest types. Although there were significant impacts of some climate variables (maximum and effective temperatures) on litterfall production in some of the studied forests, the mechanisms of how climate factors (temperature and rainfall) interactively affect litterfall await further study.     

KPC1 expression and essential role after acute spinal cord injury in adult rat

KPC1 (Kip1 ubiquitylation-promoting complex 1) is the catalytic subunit of the ubiquitin ligase KPC, which regulates the degradation of the cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitor p27^kip1 at the G1 phase of the cell cycle. To elucidate the expression and role of KPC1 in nervous system lesion and repair, we performed an acute spinal cord contusion injury (SCI) model in adult rats. Western blot analysis showed a significant up-regulation of KPC1 and a concomitant down-regulation of p27^kip1 following spinal injury. Immunohistochemistry and immunofluorescence revealed wide expression of KPC1 in the spinal cord, including expression in neurons and astrocytes. After injury, KPC1 expression was increased predominantly in astrocytes, which highly expressed PCNA, a marker for proliferating cells. Co-immunoprecipitation demonstrated increased interactions between p27^kip1 and KPC1 4 days after injury. To understand whether KPC1 plays a role in astrocyte proliferation, we applied LPS to induce astrocyte proliferation in vitro. Western blot analysis demonstrated that p27^kip1 expression was negatively correlated with KPC1 expression following LPS stimulation. Immunofluorescence analysis showed subcellular localizations of p27^kip1 and KPC1 were also changed following the stimulation of astrocytes with LPS. These results suggest that KPC1 is related to the down-regulation of p27^kip1; this event may be involved in the proliferation of astrocytes after SCI.

Marine actinobacteria associated with marine organisms and their potentials in producing pharmaceutical natural products

Actinobacteria are ubiquitous in the marine environment, playing an important ecological role in the recycling of refractory biomaterials and producing novel natural products with pharmic applications. Actinobacteria have been detected or isolated from the marine creatures such as sponges, corals, mollusks, ascidians, seaweeds, and seagrass. Marine organism-associated actinobacterial 16S rRNA gene sequences, i.e., 3,003 sequences, deposited in the NCBI database clearly revealed enormous numbers of actinobacteria associated with marine organisms. For example, RDP classification of these sequences showed that 112 and 62 actinobacterial genera were associated with the sponges and corals, respectively. In most cases, it is expected that these actinobacteria protect the host against pathogens by producing bioactive compounds. Natural products investigation and functional gene screening of the actinobacteria associated with the marine organisms revealed that they can synthesize numerous natural products including polyketides, isoprenoids, phenazines, peptides, indolocarbazoles, sterols, and others. These compounds showed anticancer, antimicrobial, antiparasitic, neurological, antioxidant, and anti-HIV activities. Therefore, marine organism-associated actinobacteria represent an important resource for marine drugs. It is an upcoming field of research to search for novel actinobacteria and pharmaceutical natural products from actinobacteria associated with the marine organisms. In this review, we attempt to summarize the present knowledge on the diversity and natural products production of actinobacteria associated with the marine organisms, based on the publications from 1991 to 2013.     

雄性麋鹿的吼叫行为、序位等级与成功繁殖

为探讨雄性麋鹿（Elaphurus davidianus）的吼叫行为与序位等级的关系,以及这种关系在成功繁殖中的作用。2000年7－8月,在北京麋鹿苑选定12头成体雄鹿,用目标取样法观察记录每头鹿的吼叫、圈群和交配行为的发生频次。用有效比值[被雌鹿接受的频次／雄鹿圈群（或交配）的总频次]来衡量雄鹿圈群行为（或交配行为）的有效性。依据雄鹿在发情期的表现状态,把雄鹿归为3类：占有雌鹿群的“群主”（4头）、未占有雌鹿群而挑战“群主”的“挑战者”（5头）和远离繁殖群的“单身汉”（3头）。不同序位等级雄鹿的吼叫频次、圈群（或交配）行为频次、圈群行为（或交配行为）的有效值存在显著差异（P＜0.05）。对吼叫行为的分析表明：“群主”吼叫频次最高,“单身汉”吼叫频次最低。“群主”的有效值最高,“单身汉”的有效值最低。据此认为雄性麋鹿的吼叫行为与其序位等级密切相关,而序位等级又决定了雄鹿参与繁殖的机会。此外,还记录到占群雄鹿的警戒吼叫,这是对Wemmer et al.(1983)警戒吼叫行为仅见于雌鹿的观察结果的补充。
