Morphologically intermediate plants between Weigela hortensis (Siebold & Zucc.) K.Koch and W. maximowiczii (S.Moore) Rehder have been found in Miyagi and Yamagata Pref., northern Japan. Quantitative character analyses of flowers, pollen stainability and molecular analyses indicated that the intermediate plants were hybrids of those two species. This is the first record of an intersectional hybrid with W. maximowiczii (sect. Weigelastrum ) as one of the parent species. The morphological differences among hybrid individuals imply the possibility of backcrosses or formation of second or later generations of hybrids, although those may be quite rare because of a low frequency of viable pollen grains. Causes of hybridization between two distantly-related species in Weigela are discussed. © 2002 The Linnean Society of London, Botanical Journal of the Linnean Society , 2002, 138 , 369–380. 相似文献

In eggs of the echiuroid Urechis unicinctus the respiration rate, which is not altered by fertilization, is inhibited by rotenone, antimycin A and cyanide. The respiration in echiuroid eggs is probably mediated by the mitochondrial respiratory chain. In fertilized eggs, the respiration was inhibited by oligomycin and stimulated by the uncouplers of oxidative phosphorylation 2,4-dinitrophenol and carbonylcyanide p-trifluoromethoxyphenylhydrazone, whereas respiration in unfertilized eggs was insensitive to these compounds. Insemination increased the respiratory rate in eggs in the presence of uncouplers and reduced it in the presence of oligomycin. These findings suggest that the capacity of electron transport in mitochondira is elevated by fertilization but becomes latent on fertilization-induced coupling of respiration with oxidative phosphorylation. Strong stimulation of the respiration in unfertilized eggs was induced by dichlorophenol indophenol, phenazine methosulfate and tetramethyl p-phenylenediamine, suggesting possible sites at which electron transport is regulated in unfertilized eggs. The resulting stimulation of respiration in unfertilized eggs was insensitive to uncouplers and oligomycin, but became sensitive to them after fertilization simultaneously with considerable decrease in its rate. Fertilization-induced coupling of the respiration seemed to reduce the respiratory rate enhanced artificially by these redox compounds. 相似文献

During initial several minutes after fertilization, sea urchin eggs exhibited high rate of respiration which was only slightly inhibited by cyanide. This cyanide-insensitive respiration was inhibited by calcium antagonists, diltiazem and verapamil, and calmodulin antagonists, N-(6-aminohexyl)-5-chloro-1-naphthalensulfonamide hydrochloride (W-7), N-(6-aminohexyl)-1-naphthalenesulfonamide hydrochloride (W-5) and chlorpromazine, which were added within 1 min after insemination. The inhibitory effect of W-7 on cyanide-insensitive respiration was higher than that of W-5. Cyanide-sensitive respiration of fertilized eggs observed after this initial period was not inhibited by these compounds. Ca2+ influx in eggs just after fertilization was inhibited by calcium antagonists but was rather enhanced by calmodulin antagonists. Fertilization-induced stimulation of cyanide-insensitive respiration probably results from calmodulin-dependent reactions which are activated by Ca2+ influx. 相似文献

Abstract A new experimental system was devised for the simultaneous measurement of elongation rate and the activity of the spatially separate electrogenic ion pumps of a hypocotyl segment excised from a seedling of Vigna unguiculata L. Walp. under enforced intra-organ perfusion by artificial solutions. The pathway of the perfusion medium was apoplastic space, including xylem vessels as main routes. The elongation rate of the segment was highly dependent on the perfusion pressure applied. It was possible to increase the growth rate under pressurized perfusion by 10-30 times as much as that without perfusion. Elongation rate was also dependent on respiration under perfusion, being retarded reversibly by anoxia a few minutes after the activities of the electrogenic ion pumps were stopped. Perfusion pressure had a little influence on the membrane potential (Vpx) below a breakdown level (c. 130 kPa). Perfusion of mannitol or sorbitol solution of appropriate concentration reduced the elongation rate reversibly. 相似文献

In the embryos of the sea urchin, Hemicentrotus pulcherrimus , reared with 150 μM aminopterin from the time of fertilization, cessation of the development occurred at the blastula stage, at which the dTTP level became quite low. Another addition of thymidine to the embryo culture containing aminopterin resulted in an elevation of dTTP concentration in the embryos and allowed them to develop normally. Decrease in the dTTP level, resulting from the inhibition of thymidylate synthesis by aminopterin, probably causes a failure of egg cleavage and development. 5-Bromo-2'-deoxyuridine (BUdR) also released the aminopterin-inhibition of egg cleavage and allowed the treated embryos to develop to early gastrulae. Thereafter, the degeneration of archenteron occurred and these embryos became large permanent blastulae. Other deoxyribonucleosides failed to cancel the inhibition by aminopterin of egg cleavage. In the embryos kept with both BUdR and aminopterin, BUdR incorporation into DNA occurred at a similar rate as in thymidine incorporation in the embryos kept with thymidine and aminopterin, and was inhibited by another addition of thymidine. Without aminopterin treatment, BUdR incorporation hardly occurred and the embryos developed normally. BUdR incorporation into DNA in place of thymidine probably occurs in aminopterin-treated embryos, resulting in abnormal development. 相似文献

Melittin, which is known to stimulate phospholipase A , in many cells, caused as much elevation of fertilization membranes and increase in respiration of unfertilized eggs of the sea urchins Anthocidaris crassispina and Hemicentrotus pulcherrimus as normal fertilization.
In melittin-activated eggs, amino acid transport was decreased to less than that of unfertilized eggs, nucleoside transport was only slightly, activated, protein synthesis was rather inhibited and neither DNA synthesis nor cleavage was observed. It is concluded that although melittin induces the cortical reaction and activation of respiration in unfertilized eggs, its cytotoxicity prevents any "late changes". 相似文献

Studies on the metabolism of a sulfur-oxidizing bacterium IV.1 Growth and oxidation of sulfur compounds in Thiobacillus thiooxidans 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
By immersing a few small cellophane bags containing BaCO3 powderin STARKEY's medium, the duration of lag phase in the growthof Thiobacillus thiooxidans is minimized and the yield of cellsis increased ten times that of the previous method. The activitiesof oxidation for sulfur and sulfite change with growth. Sulfiteis oxidized at a comparable rate to that of sulfur oxidationat pH values between 6.0 and 6.5. In the presence of cysteineor glutathione, thiosulfate can be oxidized at a pH above 5.0.At pH values below 4.5, apparent oxidation of thiosulfate andtetrathionate to sulfate is observed. This result is accountedfor by the facts that thiosulfate is decomposed to sulfur andsulfite under the acidic condition at pH values below 4.5, andthat tetrathionate is reduced to thiosulfate enzymatically.In the oxidation of tetrathionate, oxygen uptake begins aftera lag phase, the duration of which depends on the concentrationsof cells and of tetrathionate. Cysteine is oxidized to cystine.The oxidation is strongly inhibited by metal-chelating agents.The cysteine oxidizing activity is, however, quite stable andis not lost by treating cells with organic solvents, sonic oscillation,by heating or lyophilization.

ABSTRACT. The genus Hyperamoeba Alexeieff, 1923 was established to accommodate an aerobic amoeba exhibiting three life stages—amoeba, flagellate, and cyst. As more species/strains were isolated, it became increasingly evident from small subunit (SSU) gene phylogenies and ultrastructure that Hyperamoeba is polyphyletic and its species occupy different positions within the class Myxogastria. To pinpoint Hyperamoeba strains within other myxogastrid genera we aligned numerous myxogastrid sequences: whole small subunit ribosomal (SSU or 18S rRNA) gene for 50 dark‐spored (i.e. Stemonitida and Physarida) Myxogastria (including a new “Hyperamoeba”/Didymium sequence) and a ~400‐bp SSU fragment for 147 isolates assigned to 10 genera of the order Physarida. Phylogenetic analyses show unambiguously that the type species Hyperamoeba flagellata is a Physarum (Physarum flagellatum comb. nov.) as it nests among other Physarum species as robust sister to Physarum didermoides. Our trees also allow the following allocations: five Hyperamoeba strains to the genus Stemonitis; Hyperamoeba dachnaya, Pseudodidymium cryptomastigophorum, and three other Hyperamoeba strains to the genus Didymium; and two further Hyperamoeba strains to the family Physaridae. We therefore abandon the polyphyletic and redundant genus Hyperamoeba. We discuss the implications for the ecology and evolution of Myxogastria, whose amoeboflagellates are more widespread than previous inventories supposed, being now found in freshwater and even marine environments. 相似文献

To test the association between temperate forest dynamics and glacial refugia for arboreal small mammals, we studied the phylogeography of the Japanese giant flying squirrel ( Petaurista leucogenys ) using complete mitochondrial cytochrome b gene sequences (1140 bp). This squirrel is endemic to three of Japan's main islands: Honshu, Shikoku, and Kyushu. We examined 58 specimens of P. leucogenys collected from 40 localities in Japan. Additionally, two individuals with unknown sampling localities were included in phylogenetic analyses. There were 54 haplotypes of P. leucogenys. We found five major phylogroups (Northern, Central, South-eastern, South-western, and Southern). These phylogroups may have originated from glacial refugia during the Late Pleistocene. After the last glaciation, the Northern phylogroup, widely distributed in eastern Japan, could have extensively expanded northward from its refugia. By contrast, in western Japan, population expansion was restricted to western Japan. All members of four phylogroups existed in western Japan during glaciations. The complicated phylogeographical pattern of P. leucogenys populations originating from western Japan may have resulted from the long history. © 2009 The Linnean Society of London, Biological Journal of the Linnean Society , 2009, 98 , 47–60. 相似文献

The respiration of spermatozoa of the sea urchin, Hemicentrotus pulcherrimus , was found to be sensitive to rotenone, antimycin A, and cyanide. This suggests that sperm respiration results from electron transport which spans the whole mitochondrial respiratory chain. The sperm respiration was inhibited by oligomycin and this inhibition was released by 2, 4-dinitrophenol (DNP). DNP did not stimulate the respiration of spermatozoa in a diluted suspension (2 × 108 /ml), where they were swimming vigorously. The ADP level of spermatozoa in the diluted suspension was markedly higher than that in dry sperm. The spermatozoa, which had reacted with unfertilized eggs fixed with glutaraldehyde, were immotile with a quite low respiratory rate. The respiratory rate of the immotile spermatozoa was enhanced by DNP. In the immotile spermatozoa, ADP level was markedly low and the ATP level was as high as that in dry sperm. From these findings, it is concluded that in the swimming spermatozoa respiration coupled with oxidative phosphorylation occurs at the maximum rate. State 3 respiration probably occurs in the swimming spermatozoa. The low respiratory rate of the immotile spermatozoa is assumed to be due to a shortage of ADP and is practically regarded as state 4 respiration. 相似文献
