黑龙江省三江平原丹顶鹤的数量分布

在地面调查的基础上,我们使用Y-11轻型飞机对黑龙江省三江平原地区的丹顶鹤的数量分布近行了调查,调查时飞行高度80米,航速140公里/小时,续航里程共3748公里。调查结果表明,丹顶鹤在三江平原主要分布在8个地区,其中嘟噜河下游、洪河自然保护区、七星河流域和兴凯湖低地是主要繁殖地,总数量共309只。

Bloom's syndrome

Summary The biochemical defect in Bloom's syndrome (BS) remains unknown, but two characteristic features of BS cells point to a disturbance of DNA replication, namely, an excessive number of sister-chromatid exchanges (SCEs) in bromodeoxyuridine (BrdU)-substibuted cells and an abnormally slow rate of replicon elongation. The hypothesis of an abnormal DNA polymerase as the explanation for these observations was tested using an in situ assay system for DNA polymerase activity and to estimate molecular weights in cellular extracts of cultured BS cells. DNA polymerase subunits in cellular extracts from the BS cells when separated electrophoretically on polyacrylamide gels showed the same mobilities (i.e., molecular weights) as the controls and were equally effective at promoting the incorporation of isotopically labeled nucleosides. It is concluded that the genetic defect in BS has no direct effect on either DNA-polymerase activity or the amounts and molecular weights of the different forms of the enzyme.

Bloom's syndrome. III. Analysis of the chromosome aberration characteristic of this disorder

The following hypothesis is put forward: X chromatin in man condenses around a center which is situated on Xq at a short distance from the centromere. The hypothesis is based on, and explains, two classes of observations. (1) Abnormal X chromosomes that have the assumed center in duplicate form bipartite Barr bodies in part of the cells. The frequency of bipartite bodies and the distance between the two parts seem to be determined by the distance between the postulated centers. (2) A large number of variously abnormal X chromosomes have been described. Almost all of them possess the postulated center and it seems possible that the very few apparent exceptions represent misidentifications of chromosome Xq — as isochromosome i(Xp). According to the hypothesis, chromosomes lacking the center would form no Barr body and therefore presumably would not be inactivated, thus leaving the cell severely unbalanced. Furthermore, absence of the center might interfere with the viability of the chromosome itself.     

中国东北地区常见有瓣蝇类调查初步报告

与人类杂处的蝇类,在我国东北地区的分布情况尚少系统调查。作者于1956年5月、8月曾赴内蒙东北部(伊图里河、图里河),6月、7月赴营口、盘山(田庄台),借这些机会,顺便采集了蝇类标本;同年9月组内同志去绥中也采回部分标本;1957年5月至10月作者又赴吉林、辽宁两省各地进行了蝇类调查。其中有瓣蝇类已经定名的共计5科26属68种,有6种为国内新记录。兹将结果报告如下:     

Plant transformation by microinjection techniques

Several techniques have been developed for introducing cloned genes into plant cells. Vectorless delivery systems such as PEG-mediated direct DNA uptake (e.g. Pasz-kowski et al. 1984), electroporation (e.g. Shillito et al. 1985), and fusion of protoplasts with liposomes (Deshayes et al. 1985) are routinely used in many experiments (see several chapters of this issue). A wide range of plant species, dicotyledonous as well as monocotyledonous, has been transformed by these vectorless DNA transfer systems. However, the availability of an efficient protoplast regeneration system is a prerequisite for the application of these techniques. For cells with intact cell walls and tissue explants the biological delivery system of virulent Agrobacterium species has been routinely used (for review see Fraley et al. 1986). However, the host range of Agrobacterium restricts the plant species, which can be transformed using this vector system. In addition, all these methods depend on selection systems for recovery of transformants. Therefore a selection system has to be established first for plant species to be transformed. The microinjection technique is a direct physical approach, and therefore host-range independent, for introducing substances under microscopical control into defined cells without damaging them. These two facts differentiate this technique from other physical approaches, such as biolistic transformation and macroinjection (see chapters in this issue). In these other techniques, damaging of cells and random manipulation of cells without optical control cannot be avoided so far. In recent years microinjection technology found its application in plant sciences, whereas this technique has earlier been well established for transformation of animal tissue culture cells (Capecchi 1980) and the production of transgenic animals (Brin-ster et al. 1981, Rusconi and Schaffner 1981). Furthermore, different parameters affecting the DNA transfer via microinjection, such as the nature of microinjected DNA, and cell cycle stage, etc, have been investigated extensively in animal cells (Folger et al. 1982, Wong and Capecchi 1985), while analogous experiments on plant cells are still lacking.
