慈姑不定根中导管分子的观察

慈姑导管仅在根中出现。根的后生木质部中央导管由顶端平截、单穿孔的网纹导管分子连接组成;周围较小的导管分子和管胞有从梯纹管胞向导管分子演化的各种过渡类型;有一至多个梯形穿孔或单穿孔发生在导管分子的端壁或侧壁,并有分枝型导管分子存在,特别在根与主茎连接处尤为明显。管胞亦有分枝与不分枝的类型。     

Further Evidence for Multiple Forms of an N-Methyl-d-Aspartate Recognition Domain in Rat Brain Using Membrane Binding Techniques

Abstract— Pretreatment with sulfhydryl-reactive agents, such as N-ethylmaleimide and p-chloromercuriphenylsul-fonic acid, invariably resulted in marked inhibition of the binding of dl -(E)-2-amino-4-[³H]propyl-5-phosphono-3-pentenoic acid ([³H]CGP 39653), a competitive antagonist at an N-methyl-d -aspartate (NMDA)-sensitive subclass of central excitatory amino acid receptors, in brain synaptic membranes extensively washed and treated with Triton X-100, but did not significantly affect the binding of L-[³H]-glutamic acid ([³H]Glu), an endogenous agonist. The pre-treatment was effective in reducing the binding of [³H]-CGP 39653 at equilibrium, without altering the initial association rate, and decreased the affinity for the ligand. Pretreatment with sulfhydryl-reactive agents also enhanced the potencies of NMDA agonists to displace [³H]-CGP 39653 binding and attenuated those of NMDA antagonists, but had little effect on the potencies of the agonists and antagonists to displace [³H]Glu binding. The binding of both [³H]CGP 39653 and [³H]Glu was similarly sensitive to pretreatment with four different proteases in Tritontreated membranes, whereas pretreatment with phospho-lipase A₂ or C markedly inhibited [³H]CGP 39653 binding without altering [³H]Glu binding. Moreover, both phospho-lipases not only induced enhancement of the abilities of NMDA agonists to displace the binding of [³H]CGP 39653 and [³H]Glu, but also caused diminution of those of NMDA antagonists. These results suggest that both sulfhydryl-reactive agents and phospholipases may predominantly interfere with radiolabeling of the NMDA recognition domain in a state favorable to an antagonist by [³H]CGP 39653, with concomitant facilitation of that in an agonist-preferring form by [³H]Glu. The possible presence of multiple forms of the NMDA recognition domain is further supported by these data.     

中国种子植物区系定量化研究 V．区系相似性

本文总结了应用相似系数即关联系数进行植物区系相似性分析的现状,指出了存在的问题．然后,从集合论角度讨论了区系相似性、相似关系及其相似系数的实质．作者以为在区系相似性分析中应用Ｒ．Ｒ．Ｓｏｋａｌ和Ｃ．Ｄ．Ｍｉｃｈｅｎｅｒ（１９５８）提出的简单匹配系数比较适宜,同时亦能避免以往区系相似性分析中缺乏可比性及某些“表相”相似等问题．最后,还提出了总体相似系数和类型相似系数二个新概念,以便按照吴征镒教授关于中国植物区系研究的学术思想统一研究各个不同地区植物区系的相似性．对此,作者用了６个区系实例进行了演算说明．

原生质体电融合酵母多倍体生理特性的研究

对原生质体电融合技术获得的11株酵母多倍体融合株,进行了一系列生理特性的分析比较．结果发现,在电融合过程中,融合株的细胞体积及DNA含量并不随着核倍性呈线性递增．而是有其特殊的变化规律。当糖化酵母sta1、sta2和sta3在细胞核中各自纯合时,明显表现出表达的剂量效应。其中sta1、sta2纯合的融合株．在YEPS培养中,GA分泌可被淀粉大量诱导,表现出一定的二次生长特性。从分析结果推测,在亲株5301-14D及HU-TY—1A中可能有对GA分泌不利的因素。     

Oxidative damage to 5-methylcytosine in DNA.

Exposure of pyrimidines of DNA to ionizing radiation under aerobic conditions or oxidizing agents results in attack on the 5,6 double bond of the pyrimidine ring or on the exocyclic 5-methyl group. The primary product of oxidation of the 5,6 double bond of thymine is thymine glycol, while oxidation of the 5-methyl group yields 5-hydroxymethyluracil. Oxidation of the 5,6 double bond of cytosine yields cytosine glycol, which decomposes to 5-hydroxycytosine, 5-hydroxyuracil and uracil glycol, all of which are repaired in DNA by Escherichia coli endonuclease III. We now describe the products of oxidation of 5-methylcytosine in DNA. Poly(dG-[3H]dmC) was gamma-irradiated or oxidized with hydrogen peroxide in the presence of Fe3+ and ascorbic acid. The oxidized co-polymer was incubated with endonuclease III or 5-hydroxymethyluracil-DNA glycosylase, to determine whether repairable products were formed, or digested to 2'-deoxyribonucleosides, to determine the total complement of oxidative products. Oxidative attack on 5-methylcytosine resulted primarily in formation of thymine glycol. The radiogenic yield of thymine glycol in poly(dG-dmC) was the same as that in poly(dA-dT), demonstrating that 5-methylcytosine residues in DNA were equally susceptible to radiation-induced oxidation as were thymine residues.
