Influence of submergence on growth of seedlings of Scirpus lacustris and Phragmites australis

• 1 Seeds of Scirpus lacustris and Phragmites australis were germinated in early June, and twenty-four seedlings of each species were subsequently exposed to submerged conditions (eight seedlings at each of the water depths 0.2, 0.4 and 0.8m), in outdoor 500–1 tanks in southern Sweden. Weight and shoot length of the plants were measured in September.
• 2 The Phragmites seedlings did not show any significant growth when submerged. The Scirpus seedlings, however, developed submerged leaves and exhibited considerable submerged growth. One Scirpus plant, in shallow water (0.2m), had developed an aerial shoot by September. Shoot length of the remaining (submerged) Scirpus plants was positively related to plant weight within water depth treatments, and was higher, in relation to plant weight, in deeper water. Mean weight in September of the submerged Scirpus plants decreased with increased water depth.
• 3 In south Swedish lakes with a lowered water table, Scirpus often occupies large areas on the lakeward side of the reed belt, which is generally dominated by Phragmites. The differences between the two species, in performance of submerged seedlings, suggest that this zonation may be created through successful submerged seedling establishment of Scirpus on the lakeward side of Phragmites.

The inhibitory effect of transthyretin gene on growth of human hepatoma cells

Transthyretin(TTR) gene was highly expressed in normal liver and it has been found to be deleted in part of DNA samples from human hepatic cancer.Its mRNA expression was suppressed in most hepatoma samples.In order to study the biological effect of TTR gene on the growth of hepatoma cells,a recombinant vector containing TTR cDNA was constructed by pCMV,then it was transfected into hepatoma cell lines SMMC-7721 and Q3.It has been demonstrated that the inhibition of growth rate of TTR cDNA transfected hepatoma cells was about 50% in strength compared with that of the control.This inhibition was further enhanced when the transfected hepatoma cells were treated with all-trans retinoic acid.Hepatoma cells of cell lines PLC/PRF/5,SMMC-7721 and Q3 as well as hepatoma cells SMMC-7721 transfected with pCMV or pCMV-TTR were analyzed for TTR expression by Northern hybridization.The low level of TTR expression was found in both hepatoma cell lines and in SMMC-7721 cells transfected with pCMV alone.However,a remarkable TTR mRNA expression was observed in hepatoma SMMV-7721 cells transfected with pCMV-TTR.It seems possible that TTR gene might be a candidate of cancer suppressor gene for human hepatic cancer.     

在条锈菌侵染早期小麦初生叶内多聚核糖体水平与蛋白质合成能力的变化

小麦初生叶接种条锈菌毒性生理小种（ＣＹ２９）及其弱毒突变菌系（ＣＹ２９－ｍｕｔ３）后,呈不亲和反应的寄主叶片可溶性蛋白质合成能力在接种后２４ｈ显著高于未接种对照,但其后逐渐降低,直至接近对照;而呈亲和性反应的寄主叶片可溶性蛋白质合成在侵染早期与对照相近,但与膜结合蛋白质在９６ｈ时大大高于对照。对接种叶中核糖体的密度梯度分析证实：呈不亲和反应寄主叶片游离多聚核糖体及亲和反应的寄主内与膜结合多聚核糖体均有特异性增加。上述结果表明寄主的抗病和感病反应均与蛋白质合成能力的变化有关。     

小球藻RubisCO的纯化及其在异养向自养转变过程中的含量变化

嗜盐耐盐微生物抗盐胁迫相关离子转运蛋白研究进展

离子转运蛋白在维持细胞内pH稳态、离子动态平衡等方面发挥着重要作用。钠离子转运体和钾离子转运体在嗜盐耐盐微生物中广泛存在,其"保钾排钠"机制是微生物抗盐胁迫的两大策略之一。近年来,嗜盐耐盐微生物中许多新型钠、钾离子转运体被陆续发现,如RDD蛋白、UPF0118蛋白、DUF蛋白和KimA蛋白等;Fe³⁺、Mg²⁺等其他金属离子的转运蛋白也被证实可通过影响微生物胞内相容性溶质的合成起到渗透调节的作用。本文综述了嗜盐耐盐微生物中抗盐胁迫相关的各类离子转运蛋白,分析其分子结构和工作机理,并对这些蛋白在农业方面的应用进行了展望。继续发现新的离子转运蛋白,探究抗盐胁迫相关离子转运蛋白的结构和机理,解析各转运系统的协同作用及分子调控机制,将进一步加深对嗜盐耐盐微生物抗盐胁迫调控的认识,并为盐碱地农作物的改良等提供新的思路。

6个猕猴桃品种的果实贮藏与品质评价

为了选育耐贮藏且风味品质优异的猕猴桃(Actinidia)新品种,对美味猕猴桃(A.deliciosa)的3个野生品种‘kvf54’、‘kvf6’、‘鑫美’和3个栽培种‘秦美’、‘华美’、‘徐香’的品质和贮藏特性等进行比较分析。结果表明,常温和1℃贮藏下‘kvf54’和‘徐香’的硬度下降趋势相近,优于其他品种,且‘kvf54’的维生素C (V_C)含量最高。而在相同贮藏条件下,‘鑫美’可溶性固形物含量积累速度最快,淀粉和可滴定酸含量最少,贮藏性能不佳。‘kvf54’相比于其他品种的贮藏性更好,V_C、糖类物质等含量高,是可用于培育耐贮藏新品种的优质材料。     

不同密度格木幼林的土壤理化与林下植被特征

为探索适合格木(Erythrophleum fordii)人工林在幼龄阶段的种植密度,在不同林分密度(2 m×1 m、2 m×2 m、2 m×3 m、3 m×3 m)的6 a生格木人工林下设置标准样地,采用土壤质量评价和灰色关联度等方法,探究不同密度下格木幼林的土壤理化与林下植被特征。结果表明,密度2 m×3 m下的林木胸径、树高最优,较最低水平高16.7%、27.9%;土壤总孔隙度最大,全N、硝态N、铵态N含量最高,灌木草本多样性最高。相关性分析表明土壤化学性质对灌木草本的多样性影响最大。不同林分密度下格木幼林土壤理化性质及林下植物多样性有显著差异,因此,选择合适的林分密度对人工林土壤肥力的可持续利用及林分的经营培育至关重要。
