选择贵州生态条件差异较大的威宁县、开阳县和天柱县进行客土田间小区试验,以云烟85为材料,探讨气候与土壤对烤后烟叶类胡萝卜素和表面提取物含量的影响.结果表明:类胡萝卜素和表面提取物含量受生态条件的影响较大,地域性差异显著,打破犁底层耕作方式无明显作用.类胡萝卜素含量有随海拔高度增加而升高的趋势,但海拔高度的影响存在阈值效应;清香型烟叶的表面提取物含量明显高于中间香型.不同生态因子的影响程度明显不同,气候是关键生态影响因子.类胡萝卜素含量气候间的变异度是土壤的2-3倍,气候对β-胡萝卜素与叶黄素含量变异的贡献率分别为74％和64％,土壤贡献率分别为9％和12％.影响较大的前3个气候因子为大田生长前期的累积日照时数和累积降水量、成熟期的相对湿度,前3个土壤因子为有效钾、pH值和有效磷.表面提取物含量气候间的变异度是土壤的3-4倍,气候对腺毛分泌物与烷烃类蜡质含量变异的贡献率分别为61％和63％,土壤贡献率分别为13％和7％.影响腺毛分泌物含量的前3个气候因子为大田生长前期的平均气温、成熟期的相对湿度和≥10℃积温,前3个土壤因子为有效钾、有效铜含量和pH值.烷烃类蜡质含量的前3个气候影响因子为大田生长前期的累积降水量和平均气温、成熟期的平均气温,前3个土壤因子为有效锰、有效磷含量和阳离子交换量.土壤因子对烤后烟叶类胡萝卜素含量部位特征的影响较气候因子突出,气候因子对表面提取物含量部位特征的影响较土壤因子明显.     

固液态发酵中橄榄油对Rhizopus chinensis全细胞脂肪酶的影响

主要对华根霉全细胞脂肪酶固态和液态两种发酵过程进行比较,并着重探讨不同培养方式下橄榄油对其合成活力和水解活力的影响。结果表明：液态培养较有利于菌体生长,对脂肪酶的生产也有一定的促进作用。橄榄油的加入不仅有利于菌体生长、提高脂肪酶水解活力,更可使脂肪酶的合成活力显著增加,液态发酵下的效果更为明显。橄榄油在整个发酵过程中可能既作为碳源又是脂肪酶的诱导物。另外,全细胞脂肪酶的水解活力和合成活力在固液态发酵条件下均存在不对应性,表明华根霉可能产性质不同的脂肪酶同功酶。     

Caffeine biosynthesis in young leaves of Camellia sinensis: In vitro studies on N-methyltransferase activity involved in the conversion of xanthosine to caffeine

The aim of this study was to investigate the S -adenosylmethionine dependent N -methyltransferase(s) (NMT) associated with the three methylation steps in the caffeine biosynthesis pathway in tea ( Camellia sinensis L.). NMT activity in cell-free preparations from young leaves was purified by anion-exchange and gel-filtration column chromatography. In both systems, a single zone of NMT activity, with broad substrate specificity was detected. The N-3 position of dimethylxanthine and monomethylxanthines was methylated more readily than N-1 while comparatively little substitution occurred at the N-7 locus. When xanthosine was used as a substrate only the N-7 position was methylated. These results indicate that a single NMT may participate in the conversion of xanthosine to caffeine. The apparent M_r of the NMT, estimated by gel filtration chromatography, was 61 000. The substrate specificity of the NMT is compatible with the operation of a xanthosine → 7-methylxanthosine → 7-methylxanthine → theobromine → caffeine pathway as the main biosynthetic route to caffeine in young tea leaves. The data also indicate that the conversion of 7-methylxanthine → paraxanthine → caffeine may function as one of a number of minor pathways that also contribute to the production of caffeine.     

Regulation of glutamate dehydrogenase activity by amino acids in maize seedlings

Root or secondary leaf segments from maize ( Zea mays L. cv. Ganga safed-2) seedlings were incubated with 9-amino acids and two amides separately, each at 5 m M for 24 h, to study their effects on glutamate dehydrogenase (GDH) activity. Most of the compounds tested inhibited the specific activity of NADH-GDH and increased that of NAD⁺-GDH in the roots in the presence as well as in the absence of ammonium. In the leaves, such effects were recorded only with a few amino acids. Total soluble protein in the root and leaf tissues increased with the supply of most of the amino compounds. The effect of glutamate on enzyme activity and protein was concentration dependent in both tissues. When the enzyme extracts from root or leaf tissues were incubated with some of the amino acids, NADH-GDH declined while NAD⁺-GDH increased in most cases. The inhibition of NADH-GDH increased with increasing concentration of cysteine from 1 to 5 m M . The experiments demonstrate that most of the amino acids regulated GDH activity, possibly through some physicochemical modulation of the enzyme molecule.

不同抗性苹果砧木叶片抗坏血酸代谢对干旱胁迫的响应

以抗旱性强的苹果砧木新疆野苹果[Malus sieversii (Ledeb.) Roem.]和抗旱性弱的平邑甜茶[M.hupehensis (Panlp.) Reld.]叶片为试材,在20%PEG-6000模拟干旱胁迫条件下,研究了抗坏血酸(AsA)含量、氧化还原状态、合成和代谢相关酶活性对干旱胁迫的响应。结果显示,在正常水分条件下,新疆野苹果和平邑甜茶叶片间AsA含量及代谢相关酶活性差异不显著。干旱胁迫过程中,二者之间叶片AsA、谷胱甘肽(GSH)、总谷胱甘肽和总抗坏血酸含量变化趋势基本一致,但新疆野苹果叶片中的含量增加幅度明显大于平邑甜茶;且与平邑甜茶相比,新疆野苹果叶片具有较高的L-半乳糖酸-1,4-内酯脱氢酶(GalLDH)、脱氢抗坏血酸还原酶(DHAR)和谷胱甘肽还原酶(GR)活性及AsA/DHA(脱氢抗坏酸)和GSH/GSSG(氧化型谷胱甘肽)比率。研究表明,干旱胁迫下,新疆野苹果能够维持较高的AsA合成和再生能力,并具有维持高AsA水平特性,这可能与其具有较强的抗旱性相关。     

Recent developments and applications of immobilized laccase

Laccase is a promising biocatalyst with many possible applications, including bioremediation, chemical synthesis, biobleaching of paper pulp, biosensing, textile finishing and wine stabilization. The immobilization of enzymes offers several improvements for enzyme applications because the storage and operational stabilities are frequently enhanced. Moreover, the reusability of immobilized enzymes represents a great advantage compared with free enzymes. In this work, we discuss the different methodologies of enzyme immobilization that have been reported for laccases, such as adsorption, entrapment, encapsulation, covalent binding and self-immobilization. The applications of laccase immobilized by the aforementioned methodologies are presented, paying special attention to recent approaches regarding environmental applications and electrobiochemistry.     

Leaf Gas Exchange Characteristics in Relation to Leaf Canopy Position of Myrica faya in its Native Environment (Tenerife, Canary Islands)

Abstract: Diurnal courses of gas exchange were measured throughout one year in fully expanded current-year leaves in the uppermost canopy (sun leaves, 18 m above ground) and in the lower canopy (shade leaves, 12 m above ground) of Myrica faya Ait., a dominant component of the Canarian laurel forest in Tenerife, Canary Islands, Spain.
M. faya showed large differences between sun and shade leaves in gas exchange characteristics (about 50 % of maximum carbon assimilation rate (A_max) reduction in shade leaves, but this reduction can be higher on specific days) that were modulated by strong light attenuation and high leaf area index (LAI) of the stand. This species presented low A_max, about 10 μmol m^-2 s^-1, high maximum transpiration (E, 8 mmol m^-2 s^-1) and stomatal conductance (g_s, 750 mmol m^-2 s^-1) and very low instantaneous water use efficiency (WUE, mean maximum 1.1 mmol mol^-1) and A/g_s (mean maximum 23.5 μmol mol^-1). M. faya responded to high air vapour pressure deficit (VPD), decreasing its g_s but maintaining relatively high values of A and E during the studied period. Stomatal response to VPD showed a higher sensitivity than its congeners, M. cerifera, and Laurus azorica, tree species co-occurring in the Canarian laurel forest. In general, all these gas exchange characteristics lead us to consider this species more similar to subtropical plants of humid regions than to species of the Mediterranean region.     

珊瑚树阳生和阴生叶片光合特性和状态转换的比较

珊瑚树阳生和阴生叶片是在不同光照环境中长期生长的,它们的光合特性有一些明显的差异.与阳生叶片相比,阴生叶片单位干重的叶绿素含量较多,类囊体膜垛叠程度较高(即每个基粒的类囊体膜垛叠层数较多,基粒类囊体的直径较大),而叶绿素a/b比值、光合作用的饱和光强和最大净光合速率等较低.用弱红光诱导阳生和阴生叶片向状态2转换时,叶绿素荧光Fm/Fo和F685/F735先迅速下降再逐渐回升,这表明两种叶片都先后通过满溢和LHCⅡ转移调节激发能在PSⅡ和PSⅠ之间的分配,改善光能利用,但阳生叶片Fm/Fo和F685/F735下降的幅度较大.
