The Role of the Cytoskeleton and Dictyosome Activity in the Pulsatory Growth of Nicotiana tabacum and Petunia hybrida Pollen Tubes

Pollen tubes of Nicotiana tabacum and Petunia hybrida show pulsatory growth. Phases of slow growth lasting minutes are interrupted by pulse-like elongations lasting 10–20 seconds involving an increase of growth rate by up to 24-fold. Inhibition of dictyosome activity with brefeldin A or monensin did not result in an inhibition of pulsatory growth but eventually stopped pollen tube elongation. In contrast to this the inhibition of the cytoskeletal elements with cytochalasin D and colchicine caused the pollen tubes to abandon the pulse-like elongations. It was concluded that the activity of the dictyosomes does not have a controlling function in the mechanism of pulsatory growth, even though it is necessary for pollen tube elongation, since cell wall material is provided by secretory vesicles deriving from the Golgi apparatus. In contrast the cytoskeletal elements, actin and microtubules, seem to play an important regulatory role in the pulse-like elongations. In addition, it was observed that during the experiments several pollen tubes burst upon the completion of a pulse-like expansion, indicating on the one hand that the internal turgor is the driving force of the pulse-like expansions. On the other hand, the bursting shows that the pollen tube cell wall is rather weak at the end of a pulse, indicating that at this point of time it is either thinner or less stable than during the slow growth phase or at the beginning of a pulse.     

海甘蓝种子成熟过程中脂肪酸含量以及脱落酸和山梨醇的效应

海甘蓝种子在成熟过程中,棕榈酸、硬脂酸和亚麻酸的含量不断下降,而二十碳烯酸和芥酸的含量呈上升趋势。选用开花后２５～２７ｄ的海甘蓝幼胚分别在含不同浓度的ＡＢＡ或高渗透剂的培养基中培养１～３ｄ,发现其各种脂肪酸的变化趋势和种子自然成熟过程中脂肪酸的变化相似,说明ＡＢＡ或高渗透剂可能是种子成熟过程中各种脂肪酸合成和相互转化所需的条件。     

一例智力低下患者7q~ 标记染色体的来源鉴定

以人类染色体显微切割、PCR技术构建的现有人类染色体特异性和染色体区带特异性探针池作为绘画探针,采用正向染色体绘画技术,结合染色体筛查方法,查明了一例7q~ 标记染色体患者的染色体附加片段来源于3q26→3qter。确定该患者的核型为46,XX,-7, der(7)t(7;3)(7pter→7q32::3q26→3qter)。应用这个策略,能够快速有效地鉴定标记染色体的来源。     

大麦G－带变动性以及与染色粒的一致性分析

以大麦为材料,进行了Ｇ－带带纹变动性分析以及Ｇ－带与减数分裂粗线期染色粒的比较。有丝分裂早中期至中期两个不同时期Ｇ－带带纹总数减少３６％,染色体组的绝对长度缩短２５％,带数减少的幅度大于染色体长度缩短的幅度。染色体组中每条染色体之间带纹减少的比例不尽相同,变幅在０．２９－０．５０之间。不同染色体绝对长度减少的幅度在０．２７－３．７０μ之间。从早中期至中期,每单位染色体绝对长度带数具相对减少的趋势。选择第６染色体进行的比较显示,减数分裂的染色粒与有丝分裂的Ｇ－带带纹之间具有很好的对应关系,Ｇ－带带纹和染色粒间的数目、位置和着色程度上都具一致性。对Ｇ－带性质和植物中Ｇ－带的应用等问题进行了讨论。

生物制品检定动态管理系统的开发和应用

掌握生物制品的检定动态是质量管理的重要内容,由于检定周期随着制品种类、批数及检定条件的变化而变化,以往靠手工方式查阅繁杂的检定记录,难以随时快速、全面了解当时的检定状况。检定动态管理软件的开发可应用计算机自动跟踪显示检定进度和检定状态,及时反映制品质量和检定条件变化,明显提高了生产和质量管理部门的工作效率。
