Seasonal differences in mineral content, distribution and leakage of sweet pepper seeds

Pepper seed quality is sensitive to variations in climatic conditions during seed development, which might be associated with accumulation, distribution and leakage of mineral elements from the seeds. This was examined in hybrid seeds of sweet pepper (Capsicum annuum L. cv.‘Hazera’ 1195) in two experiments during two growing seasons. The mean daily temperature (day/night) and daily total radiation receipt during seed development were 27.9/23.2°C and 8.63 kW m^?2 in the summer and 18.3/ 14.9°C and 3.18 kW m^?2 in the winter, respectively. Seeds developed in the summer had lower percentage of seedling emergence and leaked a larger portion (45%) of their K content into the water medium than in winter‐developed seeds. Summer seeds accumulated more K and Cl, but less P, Mg, Ca and the weight ratio of linoleic acid to oleic acid was lower than in the winter seeds. The season did not significantly affect N, S and total fatty acids. The most abundant element on the seed coat surface was K in the summer and Ca in the winter seeds. The cotyledon and endosperm of the summer seeds contained relatively higher ratios of K and Ca and lower ratios of P and Mg than the winter seeds. Transportation of mineral nutrients appeared to be involved in the effect of heat and moisture stresses on emergence quality of the pepper seeds.     

Molecular cloning of pheromone biosynthesis activating neuropeptide in silkworm, Bombyx mori

Pheromone biosynthesis activating neuropeptide (PBAN) is a suboesophageal ganglion secretory polypeptide of insect, which activates the pheromone gland to produce sex pheromone biosynthesis in female silkworm, Bombyx mori. A Bombyx genomic library was screened by the method of plaque hybridization using the 32P-labeled BomDH cDNA as a probe. The genomic sequence encoding PBAN has been cloned and its structure is analyzed. The PBAN gene comprises two exons interspersed by a single intron 697 bp in length. Preceding the PBAN amino acid sequence is a 32-amino acid sequence containing two FXPRL amide peptides, which are α-SGNP (Ile-Ile-Phe-Thr-Pro-Lys-Leu) and β-SGNP (Ser-Val-Ala-Asn-Pro-Arg-Thr-His-Glu-Ser-Leu-Glu-Phe-Ile-Pro-Arg-Leu), which is followed by a Gly-Arg processing site. Immediately, after the PBAN amino acid sequence is a Gly-Arg processing site and a FXPRL amide peptide γ-SGNP (Thr-Met-Ser-Phe-Ser-Pro-Arg-Leu). It is suggested that besides PBAN, 7-, 8-, and 17-residue amidated peptides wer     

Crystal structure of Streptomyces diastaticus No. 7 strain M1033 xylose isomerase

The crystal structures of Streptomyces diastaticus No. 7 strain M1033 xylose isomerase (SDXyI) have been analysed and refined at 0.19nm. The crystal space group is I222, with unit cell dimensions of a=9.884 ran, b=9.393nm and c=8.798nm. Based on the coordinates of the Streptomyces rubiginosus xylose isomerase (SRXyI), the initial model of SDXyl was built up by the dose packing analysing and R-factor searching and refined by PROLSQ to a final R-factor of 0.177 with the rms deviations of bond lengths and bond angles of 0.001 9nm and 2.1°, respectively. No significant global conformation change existed between SRXyI and SDXyI except the local conformation in the active site.

抗旱性不同的两个大豆品种对外源H_2O_2的响应

两个品种的大豆叶圆片经１０－４ｍｏｌ／Ｌ和１０－３ｍｏｌ／Ｌ的Ｈ２Ｏ２处理１２ｈ后,超氧物歧化酶（ＳＯＤ）、过氧化氢酶（ＣＡＴ）与谷胱甘肽还原酶（ＧＲ）活性明显增加,但１０－２ｍｏｌ／Ｌ的Ｈ２Ｏ２处理却使这些酶活性降低。抗旱性较强的大豆品种小粒豆１号较抗旱性较弱的鲁豆４号能维持较高的叶绿素含量和较高的ＳＯＤ、ＣＡＴ及ＧＲ活性,对Ｈ２Ｏ２的抗性较强。５０μｍｏｌ／Ｌ的亚胺环已酮（ＣＨＭ）能消除Ｈ２Ｏ２对ＳＯＤ、ＣＡＴ与ＧＲ活性的刺激作用,而同样浓度的放线菌素Ｄ（ＡＭＤ）则不能。     

白细胞介素－2中某些残基替换对活性的影响

用基因定点突变法研究了白细胞介素－２（ＩＬ－２）中某些氨基酸对生物活性的影响。将ＩＬ－２中３９Ｍｅｔ和４３Ｌｙｓ分别改为Ｐｒｏ,企图破坏此处α螺旋,突变体的ＣＤ图谱和生物活性均,不变,说明此处可能原来就不存在α螺旋．而将５２Ｇｌｕ．５３Ｌｅｕ,５４Ｌｙｓ分别改为Ｐｒｏ后,ＣＤ谱发生了变化,生物活性也显著下降。表明这些氨基酸处在α螺旋中,将它们改为Ｐｒｏ后,影响了ＩＬ－２的结构,并导致活性下降

紫貂冬季食性的分析

１９９１至１９９８年的三个冬季,在大兴安岭地区共收集紫貂粪样２２３个．食性分析结果表明,紫貂冬季食物主要为小型哺乳类（５４．１％）、植物浆果和种子（３２．４％）、鸟类（１２．５％）和昆虫（１．０％）．在紫貂选择的７种小型哺乳类中,主要以棕背（２７．３％）和红背（１９．２％）为食,其次为雪兔和冬眠的花鼠。对于鸟类,紫貂主要捕食花尾榛鸡（８．１％）,松鸦（０．７％）,大山雀（０．５％）和黑啄本鸟等。有２．２％的粪样中含有小型鸟的卵壳、紫貂的植物性食物主要为越桔浆果（２０．８％）和偃松种籽（８．８％）。昆虫中只有蚂蚁在紫貂食性中出现（１．０％）．紫貂冬季食物构成没有年度间差异（Ｐ＞０．０５）。通过捕食迹,我们还发现紫貂捕食黑嘴松鸡。虽然红背的捕获率（７９．４％）高于棕背（２．９％）,但食性分析结果却相反,说明紫貂更喜欢捕捉身体较大的鼠类。有较强气味的中虽有一定的数量,但在紫貂冬季食物中未出现过。     

盐城獐种群生存力的初步分析

本文采用Ｖｏｒｔｅｘ６．０计算机程序对盐城獐（Ｈｙｄｒｏｐｔｅｓｉｎｅｒｍｉｓ）种群的生存力进行了分析。结果表明：若无狩猎和海潮侵袭的影响,在能容纳５００头獐的栖息地中,盐城獐可长期生存。如狩猎死亡率达５％和１０％,拥有１００～２００头獐的种群分别在３２～５０年和１５～２７年内灭绝率超过５％;拥有３００～５００头的现存种群分别在９０～９５年和２９～４２年内灭绝率超过５％。在有海潮侵袭的栖息地中,不管现存种群多大,在未来２５年左右的时间内种群灭绝率大于５％,在５０年内种群绝灭的可能性超过５０％。根据该地的实际情况,建议在无海潮侵袭的堤内选择至少能容纳２００头獐的栖息地和在相临的堤外选择能容纳５００头獐的栖息地建立保护区,才能保证盐城獐种群长期生存。
