松嫩平原羊草草地土壤-植物间铁的动态研究

羊草草地土壤-植物间营养元素Fe的动态研究结果表明,土壤中全铁和有效铁含量均较低,羊草中Fe含量比较丰富．在生长季各时期,全铁和有效铁含量在土壤剖面分布上从上向下呈下降趋势,有效铁与有机质含量呈显著正相关,而与pH值呈显著负相关．全铁各月平均含量变化在生长季呈“V”型曲线,7月含量最低;有效铁平均含量从5～8月与全铁相似,8月后则逐渐减少．羊草各器官及枯落物Fe含量有很大变化,总的趋势是根>根茎>叶>枯落物>茎;羊草叶、茎的Fe含量在生长季中为波动型下降曲线,根茎、根及枯落物的Fe含量在生长季中为“V”型曲线．A层土壤富集有效铁的能力稍强．土壤中Fe活性平均为0．640％。从5月至8月逐渐升高,8月后逐渐下降,10月份最低．地下部的Fe向地上部的转移强度为5～7月下降,8月升高,随后又下降．地上部Fe向枯落物的转移强度平均为105．0％,与地下部Fe向地上部转移强度呈显著负相关。     

稀土元素对红豆杉细胞悬浮培养及紫杉醇合成的影响

研究了在250mL摇瓶中,不同浓度的硝酸镧、硫酸铈铵、硝酸亚铈3种稀土化合物对细胞生长及紫杉醇分泌和释放的影响。结果表明,在培养初期加入稀土元素。3种不同稀土化合物对细胞生长影响强弱不同,但趋势相似,均使细胞的延迟期缩短。1ppm的Ce^4 促进细胞生长的效果最明显。细胞干重第17d达到10.9g/L。在指数期加入稀土元素。10ppmCe^3 刺激细胞生长的效果最明显,细胞干重最高值达到11.5g/dL,比对照高1.5g/L,而10ppm的La^3 抑制细胞的生长。经稀土元素处理后,细胞胞内和胞外紫杉醇含量都有大幅度的提高,其中以10ppmCe^3 处理,胞外紫杉醇释放率最大,达37.7%。     

Improved paclitaxel accumulation in cell suspension cultures of Taxus chinensis by brassinolide

When brassinolide was added at 17 ng l^–1 to Taxus chinensis cell suspension cultures, the paclitaxel content was increased by over 100% to 580 g g^–1 dry weight. Brassinolide may therefore be a novel regulator of paclitaxel biosynthesis.     

Brefeldin A,a cytotoxin produced by Paecilomyces sp. and Aspergillus clavatus isolated from Taxus mairei and Torreya grandis

Paecilomyces sp. and Aspergillus clavatus, which were isolated from Taxus mairei and Torreya grandis from southeast China, produced toxic metabolites when grown in liquid culture. Nuclear magnetic resonance techniques, infrared spectrometry, electrospray ionization mass spectroscopy and X-ray analysis identified brefeldin A, a bioactive metabolite produced by a number of fungal species belonging to the genera Alternaria, Ascochyta, Penicillium, Curvularia, Cercospora and Phyllosticta. This is the first report of the isolation of the cytotoxin from Paecilomyces sp. and A. clavatus. The relevance of brefeldin A to the association between these fungi and their host plants is discussed.     

MS/MS profiling of taxoids from the needles of Taxus wallichiana

Ammonium cationisation has been used for taxoid profiling of partially purified methanolic extracts of needles of Taxus wallichiana growing in different regions of the Himalayas (Kashmir, Himachal Pradesh, UP Hills, Darjeeling, Sikkim and Arunachal Pradesh) by electrospray ionisation tandem mass spectrometry (MS/MS). The MS/MS spectra of the [M + NH4]+ or [M + H]+ ions gave structurally diagnostic fragment ions which revealed information about the taxane skeleton as well as the number and nature of the substituents. The rearranged 11(15-->1)-abeo-taxanes showed a characteristic elimination of the hydroxyisopropyl group with an acetoxy/benzoyloxy group from C-9. The identification of the taxoids was achieved by comparison of the MS/MS spectra with those of authentic taxoids or was based on biogenetic grounds. The results were corroborated by liquid chromatography-MS analysis. Out of the 50 taxoids identified, 21 belonged to the rearranged class. The presence of paclitaxel in the samples from four regions was confirmed: the study also revealed the occurrence of several basic taxoids in these samples. MS/MS profiling by electrospray ionisation was shown to be a fast and reliable technique for the analysis of taxoid samples.     

Differential effect of schisandrin B and dimethyl diphenyl bicarboxylate (DDB) on hepatic mitochondrial glutathione redox status in carbon tetrachloride intoxicated mice

The effects of schisandrin B (Sch B), a dibenzocyclooctadiene derivative isolated from the fruit of Schisandra chinensis, and dimethyl diphenyl bicarboxylate (DDB), a synthetic intermediate of schisandrin C (also a dibenzocyclooctadiene derivative), on hepatic mitochondrial glutathione redox status in control and carbon tetrachloride (CCl₄)-intoxicated mice were examined. Treating mice with Sch B or DDB at a daily oral dose of 1 mmol/kg for 3 d did not produce any significant alterations in plasma alanine aminotransferase (ALT) and sorbital dehydrogenase (SDH) activities. CCl₄ treatment caused drastic increases in both plasma ALT and SDH activities in mice. Pretreating mice with Sch B or DDB at the same dosage regimen significantly suppressed the CCl₄-induced increase in plasma ALT activity, with the inhibitory effect of Sch B being much more potent. Sch B, but not DDB, pretreatment could also decrease the plasma SDH activity in CCl₄-intoxicated mice. The lowering of plasma SDH activity, indicative of hepatoprotection against CCl₄ toxicity, by Sch B pretreatment was associated with an enhancement in hepatic mitochondrial glutathione redox status as well as an increase in mitochondrial glutathione reductase (mtGRD) activity in both non-CCl₄ and CCl₄-treated mice. DDB pretreatment, though enhancing both hepatic mitochondrial glutathione redox status and mtGRD activity in control animals, did not produce any beneficial effect in CCl₄-treated mice. The difference in hepatoprotective action against CCl₄ toxicity between Sch B and DDB may therefore be related to their ability to maintain hepatic mitochondrial glutathione redox status under oxidative stress condition.     

Increased taxane accumulation in callus cultures of Taxus cuspidata and Taxus × media by some elicitors and precursors

In Taxus cuspidata callus, vanadyl sulfate (10 mg l^–1) induced a high (146 g g^–1 dry wt) production of 10-deacetylbaccatin III in comparison to 7 g g^–1 dry wt of the control. The content of paclitaxel in this species increased from 16 g g^–1 to 74 g g^–1 dry wt when 20 mg phenylalanine l^–1 was used. In T. media, p-aminobenzoic acid induced the highest content of 10-deacetylbaccatin III (481 g g^–1 dry wt) versus 181 g g^–1 in the control. Paclitaxel increased from 89 to 139 g g^–1 dry wt after adding chitosan (20 mg l^–1) to the cultures.
