不同光环境对紫背天葵和白背三七生长及光合荧光特性的影响

以紫背天葵(Begonia fimbristipula)和白背三七(Gynura divaricata)两种优良野生蔬菜为研究对象,研究了自然全光照(L0)、郁闭度约50%林下(L1)、郁闭度约70%林下(L2)3种光环境下植株的生长及光合和荧光参数变化,以明确其耐荫性以及林下套种的可行性。结果显示:(1)紫背天葵和白背三七地径和株高在L0和L1处理之间无显著差异,而在L2处理下显著低于L0。(2)两种野菜最大净光合速率(Pmax)、光饱和点(LSP)、光补偿点(LCP)均随光照强度减弱逐渐降低,表观量子效率(AQY)在3种光环境下无显著差异;PSⅡ潜在最大量子产量(Fv/Fm)、光化学荧光猝灭系数(qP)和电子传递速率(ETR)也随光照强度减弱而减小,非光化学荧光猝灭系数(NPQ)却随光照强度减弱而增加。(3)两种野菜光合和荧光参数在L0和L1处理之间无显著差异,而在L2处理下显著低于L0。研究表明,在较大郁闭度林分下,紫背天葵和白背三七叶片叶绿素分子捕获激发能的效率降低,其PSⅡ吸收光能用于光化学电子传递的份额减少,而用于热耗散的份额增加,电子传递活性和通过电子传递链传递的能量降低,净光合速率下降,植株生长受到抑制;两种野菜均具有一定的耐阴性,可以在林分郁闭度50%左右的林下正常生长。     

Temporal relationship of autophagy and apoptosis in neurons challenged by low molecular weight β‐amyloid peptide

Alzheimer's disease (AD) is an aging‐related progressive neurodegenerative disorder. Previous studies suggested that various soluble Aβ species are neurotoxic and able to activate apoptosis and autophagy, the type I and type II programmed cell death, respectively. However, the sequential and functional relationships between these two cellular events remain elusive. Here we report that low molecular weight Aβ triggered cleavage of caspase 3 and poly (ADP‐ribose) polymerase to cause neuronal apoptosis in rat cortical neurons. On the other hand, Aβ activated autophagy by inducing autophagic vesicle formation and autophagy related gene 12 (ATG12), and up‐regulated the lysoso‐mal machinery for the degradation of autophagosomes. Moreover, we demonstrated that activation of autophagy by Aβ preceded that of apoptosis, with death associated protein kinase phosphorylation as the potential molecular link. More importantly, under Aβ toxicity, neurons exhibiting high level of autophagosome formation were absent of apoptotic features, and inhibition of autophagy by 3‐methylade‐nine advanced neuronal apoptosis, suggesting that autophagy can protect neurons from Aβ‐induced apoptosis.

A Double‐Edged Sword: Complement Component 3 in Toxoplasma gondii Infection

Sprague Dawley rats and Kunming (KM) mice are artificially infected with type II Toxoplasma gondii strain Prugniaud (Pru) to generate toxoplasmosis, which is a fatal disease mediated by T. gondii invasion of the central nervous system (CNS) by unknown mechanisms. The aim is to explore the mechanism of differential susceptibility of mice and rats to T. gondii infection. Therefore, a strategy of isobaric tags for relative and absolute quantitation (iTRAQ) is established to identify differentially expressed proteins (DEPs) in the rats’ and the mice's brains compared to the healthy groups. In KM mice, which is susceptible to T. gondii infection, complement component 3 (C3) is upregulated and the tight junction (TJ) pathway shows a disorder. It is presumed that T. gondii‐stimulated C3 disrupts the TJ of the blood–brain barrier in the CNS. This effect allows more T. gondii passing to the brain through the intercellular space.     

荸荠营养器官的发育与解剖学研究

荸荠同化茎起源于肉质主茎倒２或倒３叶的叶腋内。同化茎基部着生二鞘状叶,鞘状叶对早期同化茎穿出土面具保护作用。匍匐茎大多起源于同化茎基部鞘状叶的叶腋内。当植株开始抽生花茎时,地下匍匐茎顶端开始膨大。球茎的膨大是匍匐茎顶端５－６节的基本组织经细胞有丝分裂,增加细胞数目,然后由细胞体积的扩大来实现的。球茎具足够的营养物质供来年顶芽萌发的需要,故属水生植物冬芽的性质。

多环芳烃微生物降解基因的研究进展

多环芳烃(PAHs)是环境中普遍存在的一类有机污染物,微生物的降解是PAHs去除的主要途径。近年来,有关PAHs微生物降解途径和代谢产物的研究已有很多报道。小分子PAHs一般可以直接被微生物降解,而大分子PAHs则需要微生物以共代谢的方式降解。在过去20年中,微生物降解PAHs的基因相继被发现,各种基因在调控PAHs降解过程中的功能也越来越清晰。本文概述了PAHs微生物降解基因方面的研究进展,详细介绍了微生物对萘、菲的降解基因,最后对PAHs微生物降解基因的应用前景进行了展望。

Globins Synthesize the Second Messenger Bis-(3′-5′)-Cyclic Diguanosine Monophosphate in Bacteria

Globin-coupled sensors are heme-binding signal transducers in Bacteria and Archaea in which an N-terminal globin controls the activity of a variable C-terminal domain. Here, we report that BpeGReg, a globin-coupled diguanylate cyclase from the whooping cough pathogen Bordetella pertussis, synthesizes the second messenger bis-(3′-5′)-cyclic diguanosine monophosphate (c-di-GMP) upon oxygen binding. Expression of BpeGReg in Salmonella typhimurium enhances biofilm formation, while knockout of the BpeGReg gene of B. pertussis results in decreased biofilm formation. These results represent the first identification a signal ligand for any diguanylate cyclase and provide definitive experimental evidence that a globin-coupled sensor regulates c-di-GMP synthesis and biofilm formation. We propose that the synthesis of c-di-GMP by globin sensors is a widespread phenomenon in bacteria.
