The effects of different horticultural practices on the chemical flavour composition of some cabbage cultivars

Variations in the chemical flavour composition of three cultivars of cabbage were determined for plants of different horticultural histories. In some i     

Restriction map of Chinese hamster mitochondrial DNA containing replication coordinates: comparison with Syrian hamster mitochondrial genome

A precise physical map, containing the structurally and operationally defined D-loop origin, terminal region, and direction of heavy-strand replication, has been constructed for mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) from ovary (CHO-KI) and lung cells of Chinese hamster (Cricetulus griseus 2 N = 22), and compared with our previously established genome coordinates for mtDNA from Syrian hamster ( Mesocricetus auratus 2 N = 44). All four HpaI sites in Cricetulus are conserved in Mesocricetus (8 sites). Extensive variation exists for hexanucleotides cleaved by EcoRI HindIII PstI. KpnI and BamHI. Sequence divergence between Chinese and Syrian hamster mtDNAs, as reflected from analysis of the mapped recognition sites for these six endonucleases, is estimated as 5–9% base substitutions. mtDNAs from both hamster and several other mammalian species contain a commonly conserved HpaI site in the region of light strand initiation.     

兰属(Cymbidium)5种植物叶结构特征

采用光学显微镜和体视镜,对兰属5种植物（春兰、蕙兰、建兰、寒兰、墨兰）的叶结构特征（叶脉结构、叶表皮结构、解剖结构）进行了观察和测量。结果显示,兰属5种植物的叶脉结构相似,叶表皮结构和解剖结构存在较大差异,其中最主要的差异是皮下纤维束的多少和边缘角质层锯齿形态。依据叶结构特征聚类分析结果,5种兰可分为春兰组、建兰组和墨兰组3组。本研究表明叶结构特征对兰属5种植物的分类具有重要意义。     

四种中草药对大鼠半乳糖性白内障氧化还原物质及糖类含量的影响

对正常和半乳糖性白内障及给中草药的大鼠晶状体中某些吡啶核苷酸成分、糖类、非蛋白质巯基的含量进行了比较。结果表明,在白内障晶状体中,NADPH及非蛋白质巯基的含量明显低于正常晶状体的,而NADP、半乳糖及半乳糖醇的含量明显高于正常晶状体的;当注射半乳糖的同时分别用黄岑、石斛、菟丝子及玉蝴蝶四种中草药水煎剂灌胃,上述变化为基本恢复至正常晶状体的水平。表明四种中草药对晶状体中的异常生化变化具有阻止及纠正作用。     

对林檎分类学地位的研究

林檎与花红在新梢、花、果方面均有较大的差别,其树干及大枝上有寄生瘤状突起。中国绵苹果的酶谱差异较大,林檎与花红的酶谱最接近,主酶带均为三条,其中有两条Rf值分别为0.53、0.56的主酶带相同;林檎比花红多出一条Rf值为0.80的弱酶带。结果表明,林檎为花红的一个变种。     

Effects of nitrogen and foliar biomass on population parameters of cabbage insects

The effects of different nitrogen (N) fertilization rates (0, 45, 90, and 168 kg N/ha), plant nitrogen concentration, and plant biomass on abundance and population growth of diamondback moth, Plutella xylostella (L.), cabbage looper, Trichoplusia ni (Hübner), cabbage budworm, Hellula phidilealis (Walker), imported cabbageworm, Artogeia rapae (L.), and cross-striped cabbageworm, Evergestis rimosalis (Guenée), were investigated in Homestead and Sanford, Florida in 1987. The effects of these factors on the parasitization of P. xylostella were also examined. In Homestead, abundance of most insect pests and parasitized P. xylostella increased with an increase in the level of N applied and with an increase in plant biomass. Similar results were found in Sanford, although results were not consistently significant. Abundance of most insect pests was significantly positively correlated with plant N concentration. Multiple regression analyses indicated that foliar biomass was significantly more important than N fertilization rate and subsequent plant N concentration at predicting abundance of insect pests and parasitized P. xylostella on cabbage.     

利用秆维管束进行中国散生竹类的聚类分析

本文是应用模糊聚类分析方法研究中国散生竹类分类的一次尝试。分类特征采用了竹秆上、中、下三段各类型维管束数,方法上使用了模糊(Fuzzy)直接聚类分析进行综合分析。经电子计算机运算后,不仅取得了与传统分类基本一致的分类结果,同时也表明这种方法较之其它一些植物数量分类方法简便易行,此外还讨论了一些中国散生竹类分类上的问题。     

杉木的混农林业

杉木是中国南方的重要用材树种,栽培十分广泛,人工造林历史在一千年以上,目前杉木人工林达1.0×10~7ha。杉木林地混种农作物是杉木产区的传统习惯,并形成一种独特的栽培制度,通过林粮间作,以耕代抚,既有农业收益,又抚育了杉木,促进了幼林的生长。这项经验在杉木产区长期世代相传,且因地制宜,在问作方式、作物种类等方面不断发展,如间种方式上有先农后林、林农同时或先林后农等,间种作物种类还有油料作物、经济作物     

茶园冬季乔木落叶的分解和矿质元素释放

在我国南方存在着一种传统植茶方式——茶林复合生态系统,近年来人们已逐步认识到它在维持土壤肥力,抗御自然灾害和保证茶叶内质特性等方面的作用,然而对冬季乔木落叶分解和矿质元素释放的作用尚无报道。本文是对安徽省黄山市休宁县茶树-乌桕复合园和茶树-板栗复合园的冬季乔木落叶分解的研究,为全面认识茶林复合生态系统的性质提供依据。     

Effects of glucose on the production of recombinant protein C in mammalian cell culture

Effects of glucose on a cultured Chinese hamster ovary cell line producing recombinant human protein C were investigated. After the recombinant cells reached confluency, they were maintained in the medium containing 10% serum and different levels of glucose in either batch or daily-exchange mode. High concentrations of glucose to the cultures yielded higher cell densities. Daily exchanges of media produced higher cell densities than the corresponding batch culture. Total protein C production per cell decreased with time in batch culture, in accordance with the declined glucose metabolism. Supplementation of the media with high levels of glucose diminished both the expression and gamma-carboxylation activities of the recombinant cells. Production of protein C persisted in daily-exchange culture, resulting in a constant production rate of protein C. In this case again, glucose reduced the specific productivity of recombinant protein C. An apparent glucose inhibition constant was determined to be 0.11 mg/mL by Dixon plots. The ability to gamma-carboxylate recombinant protein C was also impaired at the highest level of glucose. From these results, a strategy to maximize recombinant protein C productivity is discussed.
