不同地理种群羊草苗期电导、电阻的比较研究

 本文将1994年从内蒙古不同地区采集到的羊草(Leymus chinensis)种子进行栽培试验,通过对幼苗进行PEG水分胁迫处理后,分别进行电阻、电导测试,发现不同样点的一年生羊草的电阻、电导对PEG水分胁迫在时间和浓度上的反应是不同的。聚类分析进一步表明不同地理种群羊草按电阻或电导的变化情况都可分成3大类,且所得结果相同：其中来自吉林和定位站的羊草最抗旱,阿旗与西乌旗的次之,谢尔塔拉的则最不耐旱,这与它们对各自自然生境的适应也是一致的。

Analysis of novel angiotensin-I-converting enzyme inhibitory peptides from protease-hydrolyzed marine shrimp Acetes chinensis.

Acetes chinensis is an underutilized shrimp species thriving in the Bo Hai Gulf of China. In a previous study, we had used the protease from Bacillus sp. SM98011 to digest this kind of shrimp and found that the oligopeptide-enriched hydrolysate possessed antioxidant activity and high angiotensin I-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitory activity with an IC50 value of 0.97 mg/ml. In this paper, by ultrafiltration, gel permeation chromatography and reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatography (RP-HPLC), five peptides with high ACE inhibitory activity were purified from the shrimp hydrolysates and their sequences were identified by amino acid composition analysis and molecular weight (MW) analysis. Three of them, FCVLRP (a), IFVPAF (f) and KPPETV (j), were novel ACE inhibitory peptides. Their IC50 values were 12.3 microM, 3.4 microM and 24.1 microM, respectively, and their recoveries were 30 mg/100 g (solid basis of shrimp), 19 mg/100 g and 33 mg/100 g, respectively. Lineweaver-Burk plots for the three novel peptides showed that they are all competitive inhibitors. To test the ACE inhibitory activity of peptide a, f, j after they were digested by digestive enzymes in vivo, 12 derived peptides from FCVLRP and IFVPAF were synthesized based on their amino acid sequences and the cleavage sites of digestive enzymes. No digestive enzyme cleavage site was found in KPPETV. The IC50 values of the derived peptides were determined and the result showed that except for VPAF, FC and FCVL, the ACE inhibitory activity of the other nine derived peptides did not significantly change when compared with their original peptides. Surprisingly, five peptides had lower IC50 values than their original peptides, particularly for RP (IC50 value = 0.39 microM), which is about 30 times lower than its original peptide and almost the lowest IC50 value for ACE inhibitory peptides reported. Therefore, the novel peptides identified from A. chinensis hydrolysates probably still maintain a high ACE inhibitory activity even if they are digested in vivo. This is the first report about novel ACE inhibitory peptides from hydrolysates of marine shrimp A. chinensis. The novel peptides from hydrolysate of A. chinensis and some of their derived peptides with high ACE inhibitory activity probably have potential in the treatment of hypertension or in clinical nutrition.     

Development of a positive preference–performance relationship in an oligophagous beetle: adaptive learning?

The relationship between oviposition preference and larval performance is a central topic in insect–plant biology. In this study, we investigate whether the oligophagous flea beetle, Altica fragariae Nakane (Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae), exhibits a positive preference–performance relationship, and whether oviposition preference develops over time. We tested the beetles using four sympatric plant species: Duchesnea indica (Andrews) Focke (the normal host plant), Agrimonia pilosa Ledeb. (a secondary host plant), and Potentilla chinensis Ser. and Sanguisorba officinalis L. (host plants of two related Altica species) (all Rosaceae). In no‐choice experiments, both oviposition rate and offspring fitness parameters (eclosion rate, development time, and body mass) were highest on D. indica. Oviposition rate was much lower on P. chinensis than on A. pilosa, whereas offspring fitness parameters did not differ significantly between these two host plants. Offspring fitness were lowest for S. officinalis, and adult females refused to oviposit on this acceptable non‐host in a no‐choice situation. Repeated two‐choice experiments showed that the proportion of oviposition on one of the novel host plants decreased significantly over time when the alternative host plant was D. indica. In repeated two‐choice experiments using A. pilosa and P. chinensis, females mainly fed on A. pilosa but distributed their eggs equally over the two host plants, in accordance with the lack of difference in offspring fitness on those hosts. Together, these results showed that A. fragariae females develop a positive preference–performance relationship over time. We suggest that A. fragariae achieves this through adaptive learning of oviposition preference: not only does the female learn to discriminate among the host plants when there is a fitness difference for her offspring, but the female also fails to discriminate when there is no fitness difference.
