草鱼免疫应答的初步研究

研究了草鱼在不同水温条件下受抗原刺激后其中和抗体的变化。15℃培养条件下中和抗体上升缓慢,9周内滴度低于1:8;20℃时,3周后抗体可上升到1:256,最高达1:5270,而在25℃时,1周中和抗体即达到1:570,最高可达1:20000以上。并探索了从草鱼血清中提纯抗体的条件,研究其抗体的特性。草鱼血清中的抗体为大分子蛋白,容易解离为抗原性相同,分子量近似于人IgG的较小分子,含有较多的二硫键,具有类似IgM的某些特性。     

Flavonol glycoside production in callus cultures of Epimedium diphyllum.

Callus cultures of Epimedium diphyllum produced a large amount of epimedoside A in addition to a small amount of diphylloside B, ikarisoside C, epimedoside E, diglycosides of des-O-methylanhydroicaritin (8-gamma, gamma-dimethylallylkaempfero). Icariin, epimedins A-C, which are glycosides of anhydroicaritin, were also produced in the callus cultures. Contents of the flavonol glycosides in callus tissue were higher than those of mother plants, but the composition of each flavonol glycoside mixture in the callus cultures was different from that of the original plants. The time-course experiments showed that an inverse relationship existed between cell growth and flavonol glycoside production. Effects of hormonal factors on cell growth and flavonol glycoside production indicated that 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid was needed for the production of flavonol glycosides.     

Depolymerization of cortical microtubules is not a primary cause of chilling injury in corn (Zea mays L. cv Black Mexican Sweet) suspension culture cells

Cold-induced depolymerization of cortical microtubules were examined in suspension culture cells of corn (Zea mays L. cv Black Mexican Sweet) at various stages of chilling. In an attempt to determine whether microtubule depolymerization contributes to chilling injury, experiments were carried out with and without abscisic acid (ABA) pretreatment, since ABA reduces the severity of chilling injury in these cells. Microtubule depolymerization was detectable after 1 h at 4°C and became more extensive as the chilling was prolonged. There was little chilling injury after 1 d at 4°C in either ABA-treated or non-ABA-treated cells. After 3 d at 4°C, there was about 26% injury for ABA-treated and 40% injury for non-ABA-treated cells, as evaluated by 2,3,5-triphenyl-tetrazolium chloride reduction and by regrowth. After 1d at 4°C, less than 10% of cells retained full arrays of microtubules in both ABA-treated and non-ABA-treated cells, the remainder having either partial arrays or no microtubules. After 3d at 4°C, about 90% of cells showed complete or almost complete depolymerization of microtubules in both ABA-treated and non-ABA-treated cells. ABA did not stabilize the cortical microtubules against cold-induced depolymerization. In about 66% of ABA-treated cells and 57% of non-ABA-treated cells that had been held at 4°C for 3d, repolymerization of cortical microtubules occurred after 3h at 28°C. These results argue against the hypothesis that depolymerization of cortical microtubules is a primary cause of chilling injury.     

油松毛虫的光周期反应:温度和营养对临界光周的影响

油松毛虫Dendrolimus tabulaeformis Tsai et Liu的临界光周值,在适温区内随温度的下降而增加.不同季节和不同生长阶段的油松针叶,即营养质量不同的针叶,对油松毛虫幼虫的生长、发育和存活影响明显,从而影响着油松毛虫的光周期反应.这些结果,为油松毛虫的世代发生及种群动态的预测提供了一定的依据.     

吉林省杨树蛀干害虫的三种姬小蜂天敌(膜翅目:小蜂总科, 姬小蜂科)

1986年,原吉林省林业生防中心站(现为吉林省林业科学研究所)同中国科学院动物研究所合作,对吉林省杨树蛀千害虫的寄生蜂资源进行了开发利用研究。本文是该项研究成果的第一篇报道,记述了三种姬小蜂天敌,包括寄生白杨透翅蛾的透翅蛾黑姬小蜂Elachertus nigritulus(Zett.)和寄生杨窄吉丁的一新种丽凹面姬小蜂 Eniedon epicharisHuang及一新记录种 Eniedon zanara Walker。其它研究成果将陆续报道。     

温度对家白蚁的生存和活动的影响

家白蚁 Coptotermes formosanus Shiraki 的生存、行为和取食活动与温度密切相关。探索温度对家白蚁的生存以及行为、取食诸活动的影响,对于研究其生态学和防治学,都具有重要意义。广东省昆虫研究所对此曾进行过许多有益的研究,并作过一些有价值的报道。笔者于1986—1987年,对此问题作了系统的试验,得到一些新的结果,报道如下。     

Ultrastructure of the micropyle and its relationship to pollen tube growth and synergid degeneration in sunflower

Summary Ultrastructural studies made on the micropyle of sunflower before and after pollination resulted in the following observations. (1) The micropyle is closed instead of a hole or canal. The inner epidermis of the integument on both sides of the micropyle is in close contact at the apex of the ovule. The boundary between the two sides consists of two layers of epidermal cuticle. (2) The micropyle contains a transmitting tissue. The micropyle is composed of an intercellular matrix produced by the epidermal cells of the integument. (3) The micropyle is asymmetrical, and is much wider on the side proximal to the funicle. On the funicle side the cells adjacent to the micropyle are similar to those of the transmitting tissue: they have large amounts of intercellular matrix and contain abundant dictyosomes, rough ER, and starch grains, and provide an appropriate environment for growth of the pollen tubes. The cells distal to the funicle are rich in rough ER and lipid bodies; they lack large intercellular spaces. (4) The micropyle is variable in the axial direction, i.e., it is much larger and more asymmetric at the level distal to the embryo sac than at a level close to the embryo sac. After pollination, one to four pollen tubes are seen in a micropyle. During their passage through the micropyle, most pollen tubes are restricted to the side proximal to the funicle. There is a greater tendency (81%) for the degenerate synergid to be located toward the funicle, i.e., at the same side as the pollen tube pathway. The data indicate a close relationship between micropyle organization, orientation of pollen tube growth, and synergid degeneration.
