Incorporation of [1-(13)C]1-deoxy-D-xylulose into isoprenoids of the liverwort Conocephalum conicum

The incorporation of (13)C labeled 1-deoxy-D-xylulose into the monoterpene bornyl acetate, the sesquiterpene cubebanol, and the diterpene phytol has been studied in axenic cultures of the liverwort Conocephalum conicum. Quantitative (13)C NMR spectroscopic analysis of the labeling patterns of the sesquiterpene indicated a possible degradation of 1-deoxy-D-xylulose to acetate and subsequent incorporation via the mevalonic acid pathway. In bornyl acetate, the labeling occurred only in the acetate moiety whereas the isoprene units remained unlabelled. The isoprene units of the diterpene phytol showed incorporation of intact deoxy-D-xylulose. These results indicate the involvement of both IPP biosynthetic pathways and two independently operating compartments/cell types with MEP pathway machinery. One MEP compartment is presumably the plastid where phytol is formed; the second, involved in the build-up of the isoprene part of bornyl acetate, might be located in the oil cells. The acetylation of borneol to bornyl acetate in turn occurs in a cellular compartment that is not involved in the build-up of the isoprene units of borneol.     

外源水杨酸改善Cd胁迫下路易斯安娜鸢尾的生长和养分吸收

采用Hoagland溶液培养,研究了外源水杨酸(SA)预处理对镉(Cd)胁迫下路易斯安娜鸢尾生物量、含水量、光合作用、根系活力、Cd积累、矿质养分吸收和抗氧化酶活性的影响.结果表明： Cd胁迫下,SA预处理的植株根叶干质量、根系活力和净光合速率提高.与单独Cd处理相比,SA预处理后的胁迫植株Cd含量无明显变化,而叶片N、P、S含量显著提高,K含量显著下降,根部抗氧化酶活性显著提高.表明SA预处理可明显缓解路易斯安娜鸢尾的Cd伤害,其原因不在于减少Cd吸收量而是提高了对Cd的抗性,矿质元素的吸收积累调节和根部抗氧化酶活性的提高是其毒害缓解的重要原因.

以9和13年生刨花楠为对象,分析叶片碳氮磷含量与林木胸径的关系,研究林木叶片碳氮磷化学计量特征在个体大小及林龄间的变化规律.结果表明： 利用实生苗所营造的刨花楠人工林,个体分化随年龄增大而明显;两刨花楠人工林林木叶片C、N、P含量及C∶N均存在显著差异,但二者叶片C∶P及N∶P差异不显著;9 年生林木叶片平均C、N、P含量及N∶P均低于13年生林木,但叶片C∶N、C∶P高于13年生林木;同一林龄中,不同个体大小之间叶片的N、P含量及化学计量特征均存在显著差异;9年生刨花楠不同个体叶片N、P含量及其化学计量特征与胸径呈显著线性相关,13年生不同个体林木叶片N、P含量及C∶P、N∶P与胸径呈显著抛物线关系,而C∶N与胸径呈显著线性相关;9年生刨花楠叶片N、P转移率高于13年生,叶片N、P在生长季与非生长季的养分转移策略因不同生长阶段和生长环境而产生差异.     

小兴安岭红皮云杉年轮-气候关系及其衰退原因

运用树木年轮学方法,建立了小兴安岭丰林自然保护区不同海拔2个红皮云杉树轮宽度年表,研究其与局地温度、降水、帕默尔干旱指数(PDSI)及大尺度气候因子的关系,探讨红皮云杉径向生长的主要限制因子,分析其近几十年衰退的原因.结果表明： 小兴安岭红皮云杉径向生长受温度限制作用强于降水,且生长季最低温度限制最强.不同海拔红皮云杉径向生长对气候响应存在明显差异：低海拔红皮云杉径向生长与生长季(6—9月)年降水量呈显著正相关;与不同深度土壤温度呈显著负相关,80 cm土层土温在生长季阶段限制作用最强;与PDSI在生长季呈显著正相关.高海拔红皮云杉与空气温度、降水、土壤温度及PDSI的关系没有低海拔显著.小兴安岭红皮云杉衰退可能与北大西洋多年代际振荡(AMO)、太平洋年代际振荡(PDO)的相位转变以及1980年后的显著升温有一定关联,上述因素的耦合作用使该区土壤蒸发量加大,暖干化现象加剧,进而导致低海拔红皮云杉生长衰退.

可口革囊星虫对Cd2+和Hg2+的富集及其影响

采用原子吸收、原子荧光等分析检测技术,探讨了Cd²⁺、Hg²⁺在可口革囊星虫中的富集规律及其对生长与主要营养成分的影响.结果表明: 在试验设定的胁迫浓度内,可口革囊星虫体壁肌肉对Cd²⁺、Hg²⁺的富集均随胁迫时间的延长而增加,最终达到饱和浓度;环境中Cd²⁺、Hg²⁺浓度越高,富集速度越快,达到饱和的时间越短,饱和浓度也越高.可口革囊星虫体质量增长随着重金属胁迫浓度的升高而减慢,且联合胁迫的影响程度大于单一胁迫.体壁肌肉蛋白质含量随重金属胁迫浓度的增加而升高,Cd²⁺、Hg²⁺分别在0.05和0.02 mg·L^-1胁迫浓度下达到最高,然后开始降低.联合胁迫也呈同样的规律,且影响程度更大.体壁肌肉脂肪含量随重金属胁迫浓度的增加而降低,联合胁迫下降低程度更大.

采用RAPD和ISSR标记探讨中国疣粒野生稻的遗传多样性

Random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) and inter-simple sequence repeat (ISSR) methods were applied to detect genetic variation of 20 bulking samples and two individually sampled populations of Oryza granulata (Nees et Arn. ex Watt.) from China (M5 from Hainan Province and M27 from Yunnan Province). For the bulking sampled populations, 20 RAPD and 12 ISSR primers generated 209 and 122 bands, of which 134 (64.11%) and 89 (72.95%) were polymorphic respectively. For population M5, 146 and 95 bands were generated with 21.48% and 34.78% being polymorphic (PPB). For population M27, 151 (PPB = 17.22%) and 94 (PPB = 19.15%) bands of RAPD and ISSR were obtained. The results indicated that the level of genetic variation of O． granulata was lower than other species detected in the genus Oryza. UPGMA cluster based on genetic similarity and principle component analyses (PCA) based on band patterns divided the populations into two groups corresponding to their sources, which revealed that the majority of genetic variation of O. granulata occurred between Hainan and Yunnan. Consequently, more populations of the species should be considered for a reasonable conservation management. Comparison between the two marker systems showed that ISSR was better than RAPD in terms of reproducibility and ability of detecting genetic polymorphism. Mantel test revealed that the goodness of fit between them was significant (r=0.917, t=12.718) when detecting genetic diversity at species level, but was poor at population level (r<0.200). The discrepancy was considered as the facts that different fragments were targeted by RAPD and ISSR, and that evolutionary process of O. granulata varied at different hierarchical levels.     

Revealing the F_actin Networks in Interphase Nuclei of Garlic Clove Cells by Confocal Fluorescence Microscopy

The interphase nuclei of parenchyma cells and epidermal cells of garlic (Allium sativum L.) clove were labelled with rabbit anti-actin antibody and FITC-conjugated goat anti-rabbit IgG antibody. The authors observed results with fluorescence microscopy and confocal laser scanning microscopy. The nuclei showed prominent green-yellow fluorescence, indicating the presence of actin in the nuclei. Fluorescence examination with TRITC-phalloidin showed distinctive red fluorescence in the nuclei, indicating that F-actin is present in the nuclei. Confocal laser scanning microscopy indicated the presence of F-actin containing network structures in the nuclei, but the network structures were absent and the nuclei still showed red fluorescence when the cells were treated with cytochalasin D before fixation; the red fluorescence in the nuclei was hard to be observed when the cells were treated with unlabelled phalloidin before the cells were stained with TRITC-phalloidin. These results indicate that F-actin is in the nuclei and forms network structures in the nuclei of garlic cells.
