广西北部湾海岸带、海岛的外来入侵植物

为保护广西北部湾海岸带、海岛的植物多样性和生态系统多样性,通过样方、样带法野外实地调查并结合文献资料,对其外来入侵植物的物种组成、原产地、生活型、入侵途径和危害状况等进行了分析。结果表明,广西北部湾海岸带、海岛共有入侵植物64种,隶属28科55属,其中菊科(Asteraceae)最多(15种)。草本植物最多,有48种(75.00%)。原产地来自美洲的植物最多,有49种。入侵风险等级可划分为5个等级,其中Ⅰ级严重危害的有8种(12.50%)。与广西、广东、海南及华南地区的外来入侵植物在物种组成、生活型和原产地等方面呈现出较强的相似性;北部湾与广西中越边境内陆地区来自美洲的入侵植物都超过60%。因此推测广西外来入侵植物有两条可能的入侵线路：一是从海南登录,二是从中越边境跨入。广西北部湾海岸带、海岛的外来入侵植物总数(相对整个广西)虽较少,但其8种Ⅰ级严重危害植物的防治,仍需引起重视。

Low genetic diversity and population connectivity fuel vulnerability to climate change for the Tertiary relict pine Pinus bungeana

Endemic species are important components of regional biodiversity and hold the key to understanding local adaptation and evolutionary processes that shape species distributions. This study investigated the biogeographic history of a relict conifer Pinus bungeana Zucc. ex Endl. confined to central China. We examined genetic diversity in P. bungeana using genotyping-by-sequencing and chloroplast and mitochondrial DNA markers. We performed spatial and temporal inference of recent genetic and demographic changes, and dissected the impacts of geography and environmental gradients on population differentiation. We then projected P. bungeana's risk of decline under future climates. We found extremely low nucleotide diversity (average π 0.0014), and strong population structure (global F_ST 0.234) even at regional scales, reflecting long-term isolation in small populations. The species experienced severe bottlenecks in the early Pliocene and continued to decline in the Pleistocene in the western distribution, whereas the east expanded recently. Local adaptation played a small (8%) but significant role in population diversity. Low genetic diversity in fragmented populations makes the species highly vulnerable to climate change, particularly in marginal and relict populations. We suggest that conservation efforts should focus on enhancing gene pool and population growth through assisted migration within each genetic cluster to reduce the risk of further genetic drift and extinction.     

六种鼠苹果酸脱氢酶,血浆蛋白质和血红蛋白的变异分析

本文分析了家鼠属（Ｒａｔｔｕｓ）４种鼠和姬鼠属（Ａｐｏｄｅｍｕｓ）２种鼠的苹果酸脱氢酶、血浆中β１区和β２区蛋白质、血浆清蛋白、前清蛋白以及红细胞中血红蛋白的变异。结果表明,ＭＤＨ在进化上是比较保守的,其中ＭＤＨｍ和ＭＤＨｓ２带在各鼠间位于同一泳动线上,仅ＭＤＨｓ１带的泳动速度出现属间和种间的微小差异;血浆中β１区和β２区的蛋白质带、清蛋白带以及前清蛋白带各鼠间出现明显的变异,表现为黑线姬鼠和社鼠在β１区出现２种多态型区带,褐家鼠在β２区也有２种多态型带;各鼠间的血红蛋白变异比较明显,主要表现在区带数和主成分的泳动度显著不同,而且社鼠的Ｈｂ出现３种多态型,黄毛鼠出现２种多态型,其余各鼠的Ｈｂ皆为单态性。上述１６项生化特性按相似和相异进行配对比较,初步表明黄毛鼠与褐家鼠亲缘上比较相近,白腹巨鼠要比其他３种鼠亲缘上更接近于黑线姬鼠,而社鼠与白腹巨鼠之间进化分歧相对地较大。     

Characterization of an Escherichia coli mutant, feeA, displaying resistance to the calmodulin inhibitor 48/80 and reduced expression of the rare tRNA3Leu

We previously described a mutation feeB1 conferring a temperature-sensitive filamentation phenotype and resistance to the calmodulin inhibitor 48/80 in Escherichia coli, which constitutes a single base change in the acceptor stem of the rare tRNA₃^Leu recognizing CUA codons. We now describe a second mutant, feeA1, unlinked to feeB, but displaying a similar phenotype, 48/80 resistance and a reduced growth rate at the permissive temperature, 30°C, and temperature-sensitive, forming short filaments at 42°C. In the feeA mutant, tRNA₃^Leu expression (but not that of tRNA₁^Leu) was reduced approximately fivefold relative to the wild type. We previously showed that the synthesis of β-galactosidase, which unusually requires the translation of 6-CUA codons, was substantially reduced, particularly at 42°C, in feeB mutants. The feeA mutant also shows drastically reduced synthesis of β-galactosidase at the non-permissive temperature and reduced levels even at the permissive temperature. We also show that increased copy numbers of the abundant tRNA₁^Leu, which can also read CUA codons at low efficiency, suppressed the effects of feeA1 under some conditions, providing further evidence that the mutant was deficient in CUA translation. This, and the previous study, demonstrates that mutations which either reduce the activity of tRNA₃^Leu or the cellular amount of tRNA₃^Leu confer resistance to the drug 48/80, with concomitant inhibition of cell division at 42°C.

Yeast mRNA cap methyltransferase is a 50-kilodalton protein encoded by an essential gene.

RNA (guanine-7-)methyltransferase, the enzyme responsible for methylating the 5' cap structure of eukaryotic mRNA, was isolated from extracts of Saccharomyces cerevisiae. The yeast enzyme catalyzed methyl group transfer from S-adenosyl-L-methionine to the guanosine base of capped, unmethylated poly(A). Cap methylation was stimulated by low concentrations of salt and was inhibited by S-adenosyl-L-homocysteine, a presumptive product of the reaction, but not by S-adenosyl-D-homocysteine. The methyltransferase sedimented in a glycerol gradient as a single discrete component of 3.2S. A likely candidate for the gene encoding yeast cap methyltransferase was singled out on phylogenetic grounds. The ABD1 gene, located on yeast chromosome II, encodes a 436-amino-acid (50-kDa) polypeptide that displays regional similarity to the catalytic domain of the vaccinia virus cap methyltransferase. That the ABD1 gene product is indeed RNA (guanine-7-)methyltransferase was established by expressing the ABD1 protein in bacteria, purifying the protein to homogeneity, and characterizing the cap methyltransferase activity intrinsic to recombinant ABD1. The physical and biochemical properties of recombinant ABD1 methyltransferase were indistinguishable from those of the cap methyltransferase isolated and partially purified from whole-cell yeast extracts. Our finding that the ABD1 gene is required for yeast growth provides the first genetic evidence that a cap methyltransferase (and, by inference, the cap methyl group) plays an essential role in cellular function in vivo.     

Aggression and preputial gland of male mice affected by the presence of other males

The level of aggressiveness and the weight of preputial gland and testis in male mice (Mus musculus) were influenced by housing condition, especially by the presence of cohabitant males. In this study, the relation between aggressiveness and the preputial gland and testis weight was studied for various housing conditions. The mouse individually housed in a cage that was linked to another cage containing another male separated by wire net was more aggressive than isolated or paired mice. The preputial gland weight also showed the same tendency, suggesting that the odor from other males promotes pituitary-gonadal activity in males, and that long-term cohabitance inhibits it.
