不同施肥杨树主要营养元素内外循环比较研究 Ⅱ．施肥对落叶前后杨树叶片营养元素浓度及贮量的影响

杨树叶片在凋落前将大量有机质输入干、枝、根中,在不同处理中,不施肥输出的比例大于施肥．施Ｐ并不导致杨树对Ｐ的奢侈吸收．施肥可使杨树主要营养元素的外循环通量高于不施肥．不施肥杨树叶片在凋落前Ｐ、Ｋ的输出率比施肥高约１０％．     

伤胁迫对蚕豆叶片中茉莉酸分布的影响

在植物应对伤害等环境刺激的反应中,已知茉莉酸(JA)作为一种重要的信号分子在植物体内长距离运输,但目前对JA的细胞和亚细胞定位知之甚少。本研究用免疫荧光显微镜技术和免疫胶体金电镜技术证明茉莉酸分布在蚕豆叶片叶肉细胞的叶绿体、表皮细胞的细胞壁、保卫细胞的细胞壁、细胞质、叶绿体和细胞核上。其中保卫细胞的叶绿体和细胞核是JA分布的主要场所。叶片的局部灼伤可提高JA在质外体和气孔保卫细胞中的水平。由此推测,伤胁迫下JA分配的改变可能与植物体防御反应密切相关,并参与了对气孔运动的调控。

共基质对10株细菌降解芘的作用

从石油污染的污泥中分离出10株细菌(SB01—SB10),研究了有(或无)共基质(葡萄糖Glu,或菲PHE)对细菌降解芘(PYR)的影响.结果表明：当以PYR为唯一碳源和能源时(MS₁),SB01的PYR降解率最高,5 d可降解30.4%;以Glu为共代谢基质时(MS₂),SB09的PYR降解率最高,可达37.7%;以PHE为共代谢基质时(MS₃),SB10的PYR降解率为50.2%.Glu抑制SB01、SB03对PYR的降解,对SB01抑制作用最明显,使SB01的PYR降解率降低7.9%;Glu对SB02、SB07、SB08、SB10降解率无明显促进或抑制作用.PHE对细菌降解PYR均有促进作用,对SB10的促进作用最明显,使其降解率提高298%.Glu与PHE对SB04和SB09降解PYR的促进作用无显著差异,而对其它各菌株而言,PHE对PYR降解的促进作用大于Glu.     

Cutting edge: monovalency of CD28 maintains the antigen dependence of T cell costimulatory responses

CD28 and CTLA-4 are the major costimulatory receptors on naive T cells. But it is not clear why CD28 is monovalent whereas CTLA-4 is bivalent for their shared ligands CD80/86. We generated bivalent CD28 constructs by fusing the extracellular domains of CTLA-4 or CD80 with the intracellular domains of CD28. Bivalent or monovalent CD28 constructs were ligated with recombinant ligands with or without TCR coligation. Monovalent CD28 ligation did not induce responses unless the TCR was coligated. By contrast, bivalent CD28 ligation induced responses in the absence of TCR engagement. To extend these findings to primary cells, we used novel superagonistic and conventional CD28 Abs. Superagonistic Ab D665, but not conventional Ab E18, predominantly ligates CD28 bivalently at low CD28/Ab ratios and induces Ag-independent T cell proliferation. Monovalency of CD28 for its natural ligands is thus essential to provide costimulation without inducing responses in the absence of TCR engagement.     

CO2浓度升高对红松和长白松土壤呼吸作用的影响

以开顶箱法研究了CO₂浓度升高对红松和长白松土壤呼吸作用的影响.结果表明,500 μmol CO₂·mol^-1使红松和长白松土壤呼吸速率明显降低,土壤表面CO₂浓度升高导致CO₂扩散受阻可能是土壤呼吸受到抑制的主要原因.500 μmol CO₂·mol^-1下两树种土壤表面CO₂浓度明显高于对照箱和裸地条件下的CO₂浓度,增加幅度在40～150 μmol·mol^-1之间;对照箱内长白松土壤表面CO₂浓度略高于裸地,差异不显著,红松差异显著500 μmol CO₂·mol^-1下的长白松土壤全氮及总有机碳含量略高于对照组,差异不显著,红松裸地的碳氮含量明显低于500 μmol CO₂·mol^-1 及对照箱内土壤碳氮含量;500 μmol CO₂·mol^-1 及开顶箱的微环境对地下3 cm处土壤温度没有明显影响.     

丛枝菌根真菌对植物次生代谢的影响

丛枝菌根(AM)是自然界中分布最为广泛、最为重要的一类菌根,许多研究已经观察到丛枝菌根真菌与植物次生代谢的相关性,丛枝菌根真菌能够直接或间接地影响植物的次生代谢过程。植物的次生代谢产物主要分为萜类物质、酚类物质和含氮化合物(主要是生物碱)三大类群,该文简要介绍了丛枝菌根真菌对这3类植物次生代谢产物的影响。丛枝菌根真菌与萜类物质代谢关系的研究比较细致和深入,有些工作已经从细胞及分子水平探讨其间的作用机制,如Blumenin、类胡萝卜素等。丛枝菌根真菌与酚类物质代谢关系的研究也比较深入,其中具有特殊功能的酚类物质——植保素、细胞壁酚酸、类黄酮/异类黄酮等倍受关注。目前有关丛枝菌根真菌与生物碱关系的研究相对较少,不过现有的研究表明,菌根的形成有助于生物碱积累。     

A genetic linkage map of Pacific white shrimp (<Emphasis Type="Italic">Litopenaeus vannamei</Emphasis>): sex-linked microsatellite markers and high recombination rates

Pacific white shrimp (Litopenaeus vannamei) is the leading species farmed in the Western Hemisphere and an economically important aquaculture species in China. In this project, a genetic linkage map was constructed using amplified fragment length polymorphism (AFLP) and microsatellite markers. One hundred and eight select AFLP primer combinations and 30 polymorphic microsatellite markers produced 2071 markers that were polymorphic in either of the parents and segregated in the progeny. Of these segregating markers, 319 were mapped to 45 linkage groups of the female framework map, covering a total of 4134.4 cM; and 267 markers were assigned to 45 linkage groups of the male map, covering a total of 3220.9 cM. High recombination rates were found in both parental maps. A sex-linked microsatellite marker was mapped on the female map with 6.6 cM to sex and a LOD of 17.8, two other microsatellite markers were also linked with both 8.6 cM to sex and LOD score of 14.3 and 16.4. The genetic maps presented here will serve as a basis for the construction of a high-resolution genetic map, quantitative trait loci (QTLs) detection, marker-assisted selection (MAS) and comparative genome mapping.
