土壤微生物增强了外来植物紫茎泽兰对本地植物种的竞争力

【Background】The soil microbial community plays an important role in plant establishment, growth and nutrition. Invasion success may be linked to plant microbe interactions. 【Method】Under glasshouse conditions, we compared the effect of soil microbial communities to the growth and interactions between the exotic weed Ageratina adenophora and native plants. The microbial communities were from soil invaded by A.adenophora (IS) vs. that dominated by native weeds (NS). 【Result】A.adenophora which received inoculum from IS had higher arbuscular mycorrhizal colonization rate than that from NS, especially when Medicago falcata or Setaria viridis grew near A.adenophora. Microbial inoculum from IS accelerated the growth of A.adenophora, when planted in polyculture with the native plant S.viridis, but the native species growth was not affected. A.adenophora, receiving an inoculum from IS, inhibited the growth of its two neighboring native species, while no such effect was observed when using inoculum from NS. A.adenophora responded positively to the inoculum taken from IS in all planting combinations, but responded negatively to inoculum from NS both in monoculture and in polyculture with M.falcata. 【Conclusion and significance】Soil microbes, including arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi present in soil in the rhizosphere of A.adenophora enhanced the competiveness of this invasive weed against native species, which may be an important invasion mechanism of exotic plants.     

生物信息学分析及预测miR-17-92的分子调控网络

miR-17-92是一个高度保守的基因家簇,参与哺乳动物多个器官发育并与多种实体瘤的发生密切相关。运用多个在线数据库,发现了miR-17-92的上游转录因子及下游靶基因间的多个前馈和反馈环路。并对参与miR-17-92调控环路的基因进行功能聚类分析,进而绘制出miR-17-92的核心调控网络图。结果提示miR-17-92与其上游转录因子共调控的靶基因可能参与了生物体的细胞周期调控,迁移、凋亡、激素应答、免疫系统发育等多种生物学过程,KEGG pathway分析提示其还与多种肿瘤 信号通路密切相关。因此,对miR-17-92分子调控网络生物信息学的分析可以有助于理解其在细胞发育和肿瘤发生过程中的作用机制并为后续实验验证提供良好的指导。

Effects of microorganism on carbon,nitrogen and phosphorus of Dodonaea viscosa and the soils from different elevations in Yuanmou,Yunnan, China

Aims Understanding the effects of soil microorganism at different elevations on plant C:N:P stoichiometry can help us to understand the plant-soil interactions in the context of climate change. Our aim was to quantify the independent and interactive effects of soil microbial communities and temperatures on the C, N, and P in the leaves of Dodonaea viscosa—a global widespread species. Methods Rhizosphere soils of D. viscosa were collected from two elevation zones in Yuanmou County, Yunnan Province. A 2 × 3 factorial experiment with six replications was conducted using climate chambers. The leaf C, N and P contents and the soil properties were measured after three months of the treatments. Important findings Compared with the autoclaved treatment, inoculated rhizosphere soils from both high and low elevations had higher nutrient absorption, especially P uptake. Temperature produced no significant effect on leaf C:N:P stoichiometry, but the interactive effect of temperature and microbial treatment appeared significant. For inoculated rhizosphere soils from high elevation, temperature had no significant effect on leaf C:N:P stoichiometry. For inoculated rhizosphere soils from low elevation, leaf N and P contents under low temperature were significantly lower than those with warmer soils. The promoting effect of soil microorganisms on nutrient uptake may be due to the direct effect of beneficial microorganisms (e.g., mycorrhizal fungi), but not through the alteration of nutrient cycling process. Because D. viscosa in the inoculated rhizosphere soils absorbed more N and P from the soil than those in autoclaved soil, the available N and P in inoculated rhizosphere soils were lower than those in autoclaved soils. As predicted future temperature will be lower in the studied region, the growth of D. viscosa may be negatively affected through plant-microbe feedbacks.     

miR-34家族——-肿瘤抑制蛋白p53高度相关microRNA

若干微小RNA(microRNA, miRNA)与肿瘤抑制蛋白p53高度相关, 其中miR-34家族最具代表性。一方面p53可通过对miR-34家族的调控实现对多个原癌基因如Bcl-2、c-myc以及细胞因子如cyclinE2、cyclinD1和c-Met的抑制, 进而发挥抑癌作用; 另一方面miR-34家族也可以通过抑制沉默信息调节子SIRTI来进一步增强p53的活性。p53与miR-34家族之间形成的正反馈调节网络对抑制肿瘤的发生发展及恶化均起着重要的作用。文章对p53高度相关的miR-34家族在肿瘤发生发展及治疗的最新进展作一论述。

雄烯二酮和甲基睾酮诱导雄性日本鳗鲡性腺发育的作用

多次埋植雄激素雄烯二酮（ADSD）或甲基睾酮（MT）均可促进雄性日本鳗鲡（Anguilla japonica)性腺发育成熟,明显提高脑和垂体mGnRH,垂体GtH含量,埋植3次后,MT处理组的GSI及垂体GtH含量显著高于ADSD处理组,MT处理组血清GtH含量在第1次埋植后显著升高,而ADSD处理组在第4次埋植后才显贰高于对照组。这些结果表明：埋植ADSD和MT可反馈作用于雄性日本鳗鲡脑和垂体,促进GnRH和TtH的合成和分泌,进一步诱导精巢发育。而且MT的作用效果较ADSD快。     

人体是如何感知时间的——谈谈“生物钟”

地球上绝大多数生物的生命活动都有与地球自转24h周期相一致的节律,由这些生物自身的计时系统,即生物钟来控制。人体的各种组织都有自己的生物钟,而主控生物钟位于脑中的下丘脑视交叉上核（简称SCN）,协调和统一外周生物钟的节律。生物钟由复杂的反馈回路组成,其中基因的活性周期性地振荡,形成时间信号。人眼中有2类感光细胞,分别接收视觉信号和感知光线强度的周期性变化。其中后一种信号被用来校对生物钟。
