CO2／盐冲击对小麦幼苗呼吸酶活性的影响

以不同抗盐小麦 (Triticum aestivum L.)为材料 ,研究了 CO2 /盐冲击对幼苗生长状况、叶绿素含量、光呼吸和三羧酸循环 (TCAC)关键酶活性的影响。结果表明 :Na Cl抑制小麦生长 ,而 CO2 促进生长 ,这种效应盐处理植株比非盐处理植株明显 ;Na Cl降低叶绿素含量 ,CO2 可使其轻微提高 ;盐对普通小麦TCAC中的异柠檬酸脱氢酶 (IDH)、琥珀酸脱氢酶 (SDH)、苹果酸脱氢酶 (MDH)和光呼吸中的乙醇酸氧化酶 (GO)、羟基丙酮酸还原酶 (HPR)有刺激作用 ,CO2 则抑制它们的活性。抗盐小麦对 CO2 /盐冲击的反应与普通小麦有差别。结果可以说明 ,CO2 能够减轻 Na Cl对植物的毒害效应     

黄皮种子发育过程中脱水敏感性与细胞膜透性的关系

黄皮（Ｃｌａｕｓｅｎａ ｌａｎｓｉｕｍ （Ｌｏｕｒ．） Ｓｋｅｅｌｓ）胚轴与完整种子的发育模式以及发育中电解质渗漏率变化有些不同． 种子生理成熟前、后的胚轴对脱水的反应也不同,前者经轻微脱水可提高萌发率和活力指数,后者不耐任何程度的脱水．活力指数的急剧下降伴随着电解质渗漏率的迅速上升．实验表明,黄皮种子在发育过程中没有形成耐脱水性． 细胞膜透性变化可反映脱水对种子的伤害程度

采用 52℃下加热 6 min,后经 DEAE- 52、Sephacryls S- 2 0 0和 Q- Sepharose等柱层析方法 ,分离纯化了棕色固氮菌 (Azotobacter vinelandii)缺失 nif Z基因突变种固氮酶 Mo Fe(Δnif Z Mo Fe)蛋白 ,其纯度达到电泳纯。Δnif Z Mo Fe蛋白的固氮活性为 2 83nmol C2 H2 还原 / (min·mg蛋白 ) ,远低于野生种 Mo Fe蛋白。Δnif Z Mo Fe蛋白对氧更敏感 ;热稳定性略低于野生种。Δnif Z Mo Fe蛋白的可见光吸收光谱与野生种 Mo Fe蛋白极为相似。其圆二色谱和磁圆二色谱在 450～ 550 nm与野生种 Mo Fe蛋白显著不同 ,表明其 P- cluster及其周围环境与野生种 Mo Fe蛋白有所差异。这亦可能是造成缺失 nif Z突变种 Mo Fe蛋白固氮活性低的原因。     

Callus formation from protoplasts of Artemisia sphaerocephala Krasch and some factors influencing protoplast division

Round wormwood (Artemisia sphaerocephala Krasch) seeds were germinated on Murashige & Skoog (1962) medium without plant growth regulators. The hypocotyls of seedlings were sliced and cultured on M1 medium with 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (9.05 M) to induce callus. The induced calluses were subcultured on the same medium. Ten day old calluses were used to isolate protoplasts in an enzyme solution with 0.65 M mannitol. Protoplast yield strongly depended upon the state of callus cultures. Certain amount of hemicellulase could improve protoplast isolation. Purified protoplasts were cultured in modified Kao & Michayluk (1975) medium with 0.60 M mannitol as osmoticum, suggesting that protoplasts of A. sphaerocephala need a high initial osmolarity. Protoplasts generally divided evenly and the percentage of first division could reach 10%. Kinetin exhibited a positive effect on initial cell division. Furthermore, we studied the effect of protoplast density and vitamin C on sustained growth of protoplasts. After forty days, 1 mm calluses in diameter formed.Abbreviations CH casein hydrolysate - 2,4-D 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid - KM8P Kao & Michayluk (1975) protoplast medium - MS Murashige & Skoog (1962) medium - MES-2 (N-morpholino)ethanesulfonic acid     

RFLP-based maps of the homoeologous group-6 chromosomes of wheat and their application in the tagging of Pm12, a powdery mildew resistance gene transferred from Aegilops speltoides to wheat

Genetic maps of the homoeologous group-6 chromosomes of bread wheat, Triticum aestivum, have been constructed spanning 103 cM on 6A, 90 cM on 6B and 124 cM on 6D. These maps were transferred to a Chinese Spring (CS) x line #31 cross to locate a dominant powdery mildew resistance gene, Pm12, introgressed into line #31 from Aegilops speltoides. Pm12 was shown to lie on the short arm of translocation chromosome 6BS-6SS.6SL in line #31, but could not be mapped more precisely due to the lack of recombination between the 6S Ae. speltoides segment and chromosome 6B. Possible strategies to reduce the size of the alien segment, which probably encompasses the complete long arm and more than 82% of the short arm of chromosome 6B, are discussed.     

On the existence of stable pairing distributions

We formulate and analyze pair-formation models for multiple groups with general pairing rates and arbitrary mixing probabilities. Under the assumption of constant recruitment rates and equal average duration of all types of partnerships, we have shown that the dynamics are relatively simple because of the monotonicity properties of the dynamical system associated with the pairing/mixing of heterogeneous populations of male and female individuals. In fact, we have shown that the corresponding asymptotic stable paired distribution is given precisely by the asymptotic values of the matrices that prescribe the mixing/contact structure. In other words, if the sizes of the mixing subpopulations of males and females are asymptotically constant and if the average durations of partnerships are about the same regardless of type, then the matrices that describe the mixing between subpopulations also characterize the distribution of paired types. Alternatively, if the distribution of the average duration of relationships between individuals has a large variance then it may be impossible to detect any relationship between the mixing/contact structure and the observed distribution of paired types. The study of models with constant per-capita recruitment rates give rise to homogeneous systems of degree one. The analysis of the dynamics of pairs for models with exponentially growing populations of singles is complicated. So far, we are only able to classify the stability of all non-strictly positive boundary exponential solutions. From our incomplete analysis, it is not possible to detect necessary and sufficient conditions for the existence and stability of strictly interior exponential solutions. We cannot rule out the possibility of oscillations. The mathematical problems associated with the stability of exponential solutions of dynamical systems of degree one are of relevance in demography, epidemiology, and population dynamics.On leave from University of Alabama in Huntsville
