低能离子束对微生物细胞的刻蚀与损伤研究

以耐辐射异常微球菌和大肠杆菌为试材,用显微扫描电镜（ＳＥＭ）和电子自旋共振（ＥＳＲ）波谱仪研究了２０ｋｅＶ的Ｎ＾＋离子注入对其细胞的作用。结果表明,Ｎ＾＋离子注入对两种微生物既存在着直接作用的刻蚀损伤又存在着能量沉积所产生自由基的间接作用;对细胞的直接刻蚀作用是导致ＤＮＡ损伤和生物诱变的主要原因,而自由基所引起的主要是ＤＮＡ以外生物大分子的损伤和细胞的膜脂过氧化。随着注入剂量增大,两种微生物细胞受

火炬松(Pinus taeda L.)合子胚愈伤组织的器官发生和植株再生

以火炬松(Pinus taeda L.)的成熟合子胚为外植体在附加NAA和BA的TE培养基上诱导产生了淡黄色、疏松、有光泽的颗粒状愈伤组织。经过愈伤组织的保持和增殖培养及不定芽原基的诱导培养后,进行了不同激素、低温处理和蔗糖浓度对不定芽分化的影响实验。结果表明,在附加0.5 mg·L~(-1)IBA和2 mg·L~(-1)BA的TE培养基上,愈伤组织上的不定芽分化频率最高达62.15%。不定芽分化的最佳低温处理时间是5—6周,最佳蔗糖浓度是25—30 g·L~(-1)。不定芽经伸长培养后取高于1cm的小苗用于生根。在附加IBA、BA和GA_3的TE培养基上不定芽的生很频率最高达46%。     

Turnover of multicompartment systems

If the total flow entering a compartment system in steady state is assumed to come into the compartment where radioactivity is introduced and sampling is made, then it is possible in any case to determine simply the total turnover of this system. Dividing the radioactivity introduced by the integral of the specific activity gives directly the expected value. Some specific examples of the validity of this formula are discussed.     

Assessing priority areas by imperilled species: insights from the European butterflies

Biodiversity hotspots have been variously defined in terms of species richness, endemic species or imperilled species. The use of imperilled species to locate priority areas is particularly problematic, because an area that hosts a large number of imperilled species is likely to be under severe threats, making less effective conservation efforts. A possibly way to answer this problem is to assess species threats at two spatial scales. Then, areas which host concentrations of species that are imperilled at the larger scale, but not at the smaller scale, can be considered as priority areas where conservation efforts are expected to be more effective. An application of this procedure to the European butterfly fauna with the Biodiversity Conservation Concern index calculated with two IUCN red listings (European and national) allowed the construction of a four-celled model that reflects different types of conservation priority. This combined use of international and regional red lists may be a tool to make practical decisions (e.g. allocation of funds or legislative actions) to preserve imperilled species.     

Quantitative proteomics of Arabidopsis shoot microsomal proteins reveals a cross‐talk between excess zinc and iron deficiency

Iron (Fe) deficiency significantly effects plant growth and development. Plant symptoms under excess zinc (Zn) resemble symptoms of Fe‐deficient plants. To understand cross‐talk between excess Zn and Fe deficiency, we investigated physiological parameters of Arabidopsis plants and applied iTRAQ‐OFFGEL quantitative proteomic approach to examine protein expression changes in microsomal fraction from Arabidopsis shoots under those physiological conditions. Arabidopsis plants manifested shoot inhibition and chlorosis symptoms when grown on Fe‐deficient media compared to basal MGRL solid medium. iTRAQ‐OFFGEL approach identified 909 differentially expressed proteins common to all three biological replicates; the majority were transporters or proteins involved in photosynthesis, and ribosomal proteins. Interestingly, protein expression changes between excess Zn and Fe deficiency showed similar pattern. Further, the changes due to excess Zn were dramatically restored by the addition of Fe. To obtain biological insight into Zn and Fe cross‐talk, we focused on transporters, where STP4 and STP13 sugar transporters were predominantly expressed and responsive to Fe‐deficient conditions. Plants grown on Fe‐deficient conditions showed significantly increased level of sugars. These results suggest that Fe deficiency might lead to the disruption of sugar synthesis and utilization.     

Quantitative proteomic analysis of cabernet sauvignon grape cells exposed to thermal stresses reveals alterations in sugar and phenylpropanoid metabolism

Grapes (Vitis vinifera) are a valuable fruit crop and wine production is a major industry. Global warming and expanded range of cultivation will expose grapes to more temperature stresses in future. Our study investigated protein level responses to abiotic stresses, with particular reference to proteomic changes induced by the impact of four different temperature stress regimes, including both hot and cold temperatures, on cultured grape cells. Cabernet Sauvignon cell suspension cultures grown at 26°C were subjected to 14 h of exposure to 34 and 42°C for heat stress, and 18 and 10°C for cold stress. Cells from the five temperatures were harvested in biological triplicates and label‐free quantitative shotgun proteomic analysis was performed. A total of 2042 non‐redundant proteins were identified from the five temperature points. Fifty‐five proteins were only detected in extreme heat stress conditions (42°C) and 53 proteins were only detected at extreme cold stress conditions (10°C). Gene Ontology (GO) annotations of differentially expressed proteins provided insights into the metabolic pathways that are involved in temperature stress in grape cells. Sugar metabolism displayed switching between alternative and classical pathways during temperature stresses. Additionally, nine proteins involved in the phenylpropanoid pathway were greatly increased in abundance at extreme cold stress, and were thus found to be cold‐responsive proteins.
