高良姜等五味山姜属中药乙酸乙酯部位的HPLC指纹图谱

以95%乙醇作为提取的溶媒,将加热回流提取得到的提取液水浴挥干得到浸膏,并用甲醇配制成1 mg·m L~(-1)供试液。采用phenomenex-C18(250 mm×4.6 mm,5μm)色谱柱,流动相为乙腈-0.1%磷酸水溶液,梯度洗脱,流速为1.0 m L·min~(-1),柱温为30℃,检测波长为260 nm HPLC色谱法测定,采用国家药典委员会相似度评价软件进行分析。结果表明:建立了精密度、稳定性和重现性均较好的5味山姜属中药乙酸乙酯部位HPLC指纹图谱,确定了9个共有峰,6个强峰;其中高良姜、大高良姜含有5个共有峰,高良姜和草豆蔻含有3个共有峰,大高良姜和红豆蔻含有2个共有峰,高良姜和益智含有3个共有峰。对5味山姜属中药乙酸乙酯部位化学成分进行相似度分析,得出其相似度分别为0.955、0.805、0.371、0.794、0.345。所建立的5味山姜属中药乙酸乙酯部位的指纹图谱方法稳定、简便、可靠,其特征峰所代表的化学成分的相似性不尽相同,高良姜、大高良姜、草豆蔻的相似性较大,红豆蔻、益智的相似性较小,说明同基原中药之间的化学成分有一定的相关性。该研究结果为探讨山姜属中药亲缘关系与化学成分相关性提供了思路与基础。     

金针菇淀粉酶家族基因鉴定及其表达特性分析

本研究对金针菇淀粉酶家族基因进行了信息分析,并选用金针菇双核菌株H1123作为实验材料,分析了菌丝生长过程中淀粉酶活性和淀粉酶基因表达特性之间的关系。结果表明,金针菇淀粉酶家族包含6个α淀粉酶和1个γ淀粉酶。7个淀粉酶基因的表达量均在菌丝接种后第10天出现峰值,并与胞外淀粉酶活性呈同步变化,说明基质中淀粉的分解和利用是淀粉酶家族各成员之间相互协调的结果。其中α-Amy-1、α-Amy-4、α-Amy-5的上调幅度最大,为淀粉降解和代谢过程的主效基因。值得注意的是胞内淀粉酶基因α-Amy-1在第10天时达到约90倍的上调表达水平。我们推测：金针菇胞外淀粉酶将淀粉分解为小分子单糖的同时,其胞内淀粉酶也参与了这些糖类的吸收和运输过程。     

毛茛叶报春组一存疑种花粉形态的多样性研究

对分布于浙江西北部的毛茛叶报春组(sect. Ranunculoides)一存疑种5个居群共50个植株的花粉形态进行了研究观察。结果表明该存疑种的花粉形态特征在种下具高度多样化,根据萌发孔类型、数量及组成的不同,其花粉可划分为多沟型、沟多孔少型、孔多沟少型、散孔型和环沟型5种类型;而且居群间花粉的大小及花粉类型的组成也存在较大的差异;此外,同一个植株或同一个花粉囊的花粉也可能具有多种类型的花粉。本文进一步证明了花粉形态特征在种内可能存在多样化的现象。花粉形态特征支持该存疑种为一个独立的新物种,它很可能是由具多沟型和散孔型花粉的亲本杂交进化而来。     

Genotypes Analyses of Ten Genes Related to Eating Quality of Twenty-three Fragrant Rice Cultivars by Molecular Marker

Fragrance is a very important quality traits of rice, fragrant rice research has been an important research issue in rice research fields in nowadays. In our study, using the detection method of molecular markers, genotypes of the 10 genes (Wx, SSII 3, SBE3, AGPiso, SSIII 2, AGPlar, PUL, SSI, ISA, SSIV 2) associated rice eating quality were analyzed in the 23 fragrant rice cultivars. The result indicated that the “2845”rice cultivar possesses the best combination of genotypes related to the highest eating quality, and the next best rice cultivars were “Songxiangzaojing”, ”Suhuxiangjing”, “B1”, “Wuyun2645”, “Tongyunjing”, “Yinxiang28”, “Xiangjing49②”, “99983”, “Wxiang99075”, “07-08”, “Yunjingyou15”, “29185”, “Nanhai318”. Other 9 rice cultivars (“Dahuaxiangjing”, “Wuxiang14”, “Xiangjing”, “Della”, “Dalixiang”, “Taiguoxiangdao”, “Cxiang517”, “Xiangdao No1”, “Zhongxiang No1”) obtain some of bad genotypes which may have adverse effect on rice eating quality. This study was helpful to establish an overall understanding of the genotypes of these ten eating quality related genes in the 23 tested fragrant rice cultivars, and provides the important genotype information in selecting and cultivating new fragrant rice with good eating quality in future via molecular markers assisted selection method.     

Plants in Starter Culture for Brewing Traditional Liquor of Miao Ethnic Group in Leigongshan Mountain,Guizhou

For many years, traditional knowledge, techniques and know how have been applied in the process of fermentation of traditional liquor and also in the process of making its starter culture by Miao ethnic group who lives in Leigongshan Mountain, Southwest China. To protect liquor culture of Miao people, and in order to document and transmit it from generation to generation, we have conducted a series of surveys on the techniques and the process of brewing traditional liquor and making starter culture; and we have documented the plants which have been used for starter culture via ethnobotanical and taxonomical approaches, such as key informants interview, participatory rural appraisal, and ethnobotanical inventory. It has been demonstrated that the traditional liquor in Miao communities resembles other Xiaoqu alcoholic in terms of both the producing process and techniques. Thirty five species of plants used in starter culture, which belong to 19 families and 28 genera, were identified and inventoried. Piloselloides hirsuta (Asteraceae) and Indigofera bungeana (Fabaceae) are the most frequently employed ones among all of the plants. Fresh and tender stems, leaves, or shoots of the plants are parts of plants which are used to make distiller’s yeast; while the whole plant is barely used. The traditional knowledge associated with starter culture would fail to be handed down in a few decades, due to erosion of modernization and losses of young (female) labor and the ethnic language as well. More researche should be carried out as soon as possible to promote liquor culture of Miao people, e.g. census on plants in starter culture and valuation of its biological activities.
