葡萄无核基因定位与作图的研究

以UBC 269484和GSLP1569的序列为支点,设计合成了包括UBC 269和GSLP1在内的9条引物,以葡萄 有核亲本红地球和无核亲本红光无核的DNA为模板,对这9个引物进行筛选,结果GSLP1、39970524 5号引物和 39970524 6号引物在无核亲本红光无核上扩增出了特异标记GSLP1569、39970524 5 564、39970524 6 1538和 39970524 6 1200。用这3个特异引物在红地球、红光无核、无核白和红地球×红光无核杂交组合F1代163株杂 种的DNA样上进行PCR扩增,结果4个特异标记在F1群体中与无核主效基因共分离。4个特异标记也出现于所 用组合中无核基因原始供给者无核白上。这些标记和葡萄无核主效基因相连锁。用QTXb17遗传作图软件,对葡 萄无核主效基因S定位与作图,当P=0.01时,LOD值在32.7～46.4之间,置信界限在0.2～9.9之间。这4个 特异标记和无核主效基因S处于在同一连锁群,位于无核主效基因S的两侧,覆盖基因组12.3cM。特异标记 39970524 5 564、GSLP1569、39970524 6 1538、39970524 6 1200距S基因的遗传距离分别为0.6cM、1.2cM、 4.9cM和11.1cM。     

激动中枢组胺能受体对应激大鼠颈动脉窦压力感受性反射重调定的影响

应激1周的大鼠,麻醉后弧离双侧颈动脉窦区,将不同窦内压（ISP）与其对应的平均动脉压（MAP）值进行Logistic5个参数曲线拟合。根据所得ISP－MAP关系曲线及其特征参数,分别观察侧脑室(i.c.v.）注射和弧束核（NTS）内注射组胺受体拮抗剂对颈动脉窦压力感受性反射（CSR）的影响,并与相应的非应激CSR水平进行比较。结果如下：（1）应激导致ISP－MAP关系曲线显著全面上移,窦内压和增益（ISP-Gain）关系曲线中部明显下移,反射参数中阈压（TP）、饱和压（SP）、调定点（set point）和最大增益时的窦内压（ISPGmax）值增大,MAP反射变动范围（MAPrange）及反射最大增益（Gmax）减小;（2）I.c.v.H1或H2受体拮抗剂氯苯吡胺（CHL）15μg或西咪替丁（CIM）15μg,在20min内均可明显减弱应激对CSR的上述改变,CIM的这种减弱作用不如CHL的显著;（3）NTS内注射CHL（0.5μg）或CIM（1.5μg）,对应激所致CSR变化的影响与i.c.v.CHL或CIM后的相类似;（4）分别i.c.v.和NTS内注射CHL或CIM后,均不能使应激的CSR水平完全恢复到相应的非应激对照水平。以上结果提示,应激引起CSR重调定,反射敏感性下降;其部分机制可能是激活中枢组胺能系统,通过中枢组胺能受体（H1和H2受体）尤其是H1受体介导而发挥作用;下丘脑－NTS的组胺能通路可能是应激导致CSR重调定的下行通路之一。     

Effects of elevated pCO2 and/or pO3 on C-, N-, and S-metabolites in the leaves of juvenile beech and spruce differ between trees grown in monoculture and mixed culture.

Three and four-year-old saplings of beech (Fagus sylvatica L.) and spruce (Picea abies (L.) Karst.) grown in monoculture and mixed culture were exposed in phytotrons to (1) ambient air, (2) elevated pO(3), (3) elevated pCO(2), or (4) elevated pCO(2) plus elevated pO(3). After 5 months, the contents of soluble sugars, starch, soluble amino compounds, non-structural proteins (NSP), as well as reduced (GSH) and oxidized (GSSG) glutathione were determined in the leaves of both species in order to assess the effects of the gaseous regimes on primary metabolism. Elevated pO(3) did not affect sugar and starch levels in beech leaves in monoculture, but significantly increased sugar levels in beech leaves grown in mixed culture. In spruce needles, sugar levels tended to be enhanced in both culture types. Individual and combined exposure of elevated pCO(2) led to an increase in non-structural carbohydrate (soluble sugars plus starch) levels in beech and spruce leaves of both culture types. Differences in the responses of non-structural carbohydrate levels to elevated pCO(2) between beech and spruce were apparent from different contributions of sugars and starch to the increase in carbohydrate levels. Exposure to elevated pCO(2) and/or elevated pO(3) did not affect the levels of soluble amino compounds and NSP in beech leaves, but reduced amino compound levels in spruce needles of both culture types. Elevated pO(3) increased GSH levels in the leaves of both tree species in both culture types, while GSSG levels in monoculture were reduced in beech leaves, but significantly enhanced in spruce needles. Elevated pCO(2) reduced GSSG levels in beech and spruce leaves in monoculture, and GSH levels in spruce needles of both culture types. The combination of elevated pCO(2) and pO(3) increased GSSG levels in beech leaves of both culture types and in spruce needles in monoculture, but reduced GSH levels in spruce needles of both culture types. Apparently, under each gaseous regime, the culture type significantly altered primary metabolism of the leaves of beech and spruce.

An analysis of the synthetic tryptamines AMT and 5-MeO-DALT: Emerging ‘Novel Psychoactive Drugs’

Novel Psychoactive Drugs (NPD) can be sold without restriction and are often synthetic analogues of controlled drugs. The tryptamines are an important class of NPD as they bind to the various serotonin (5-HT) receptor subtypes and cause psychosis and hallucinations that can lead to injury or death through misadventure. Here we report on the structure elucidation and receptor binding profiles of two widely marketed tryptamine-derived NPDs, namely alpha-methyl-tryptamine and 5-methoxy-N,N-diallyl-tryptamine.

灌浆期水分亏缺条件下二、四、六倍体小麦收获指数和水分利用效率的演化

为揭示不同倍性小麦生长发育、产量性状及水分利用对灌浆期水分亏缺响应的差异,选用二倍体野生一粒小麦(Triticum boeoticum)、栽培一粒小麦(T.monococcum),四倍体野生二粒小麦(T.dicoccoides)、栽培二粒小麦(T.dicoccon),和两个普通六倍体小麦(T.aestivum)品种‘长武134’和‘陕253’6个小麦品种作为供试材料。采用盆栽控水的方法,测定和分析了不同灌浆期土壤水分条件下小麦株高、旗叶叶面积、穗长、根干重、地上生物量、根冠比、千粒重、粒数、产量、收获指数、蒸腾耗水量和水分利用效率等性状的变化。在小麦染色体倍体由二倍体向六倍体进化的过程中,小麦地上生物量、千粒重、穗粒数、产量、收获指数和水分利用效率都显著增加。随着土壤水分从正常→中度亏缺→重度亏缺的减少,收获指数先增大后减小,分别为41.26%、42.48%和38.19%;生物量水分利用效率逐渐增大,分别为2.39、2.43和2.53g·kg–1;产量水分利用效率分别为1.05、1.10和1.04g·kg–1。在灌浆期水分条件是影响收获指数和水分利用效率的关键因素之一。灌浆期的水分亏缺有利于六倍体小麦的收获指数和四倍体的生物量水分利用效率的提高。中度的水分亏缺有利于四倍体和六倍体产量水分利用效率的提高。     

CCR2介导MCP-1诱导的人内皮细胞凋亡

本室前期工作发现,单核细胞趋化蛋白-1(MCP-1)可诱导人内皮细胞(hVECs)凋亡.为进一步揭示MCP-1诱导凋亡分子机理,首先观察MCP-1对hVECs CC类趋化因子受体2(C-C motifchemokine receptor-2,CCR2)蛋白表达的影响.Western印迹结果显示,MCP-1以剂量依赖方式诱导CCR2在hVECs的表达.以脂质体为载体的CCR2反义寡核苷酸序列转染hVECs后,激光共聚焦显微镜及膜联蛋白(annexin)V-FITC/PI双染流式细胞术显示,CCR2反义寡核苷酸转染hVECs48h后可明显降低CCR2蛋白质的表达(P0.05),抑制MCP-1诱导的hVECs凋亡(P0.01).反义CCR2抑制凋亡结果与加入CCR2阻断剂RS102895后细胞凋亡测定结果一致.上述结果表明,MCP-1的主要受体CCR2介导了MCP-1诱导的hVECs凋亡.
