NO 3 ? is a major nitrogen source for plant nutrition, and plant cells store NO 3 ? in their vacuoles. Here, we report that a unique compost made from marine animal resources by thermophiles represses NO 3 ? accumulation in plants. A decrease in the leaf NO 3 ? content occurred in parallel with a decrease in the soil NO 3 ? level, and the degree of the soil NO 3 ? decrease was proportional to the compost concentration in the soil. The compost-induced reduction of the soil NO 3 ? level was blocked by incubation with chloramphenicol, indicating that the soil NO 3 ? was reduced by chloramphenicol-sensitive microbes. The compost-induced denitrification activity was assessed by the acetylene block method. To eliminate denitrification by the soil bacterial habitants, soil was sterilized with γ irradiation and then compost was amended. After the 24-h incubation, the N2O level in the compost soil with presence of acetylene was approximately fourfold higher than that in the compost soil with absence of acetylene. These results indicate that the low NO 3 ? levels that are often found in the leaves of organic vegetables can be explained by compost-mediated denitrification in the soil. 相似文献

In the initial step of pronuclear association in fertilized fish eggs, the female and male pronuclei (containing large nucleolus-like bodies) were juxtaposed in the center of the blastodisc and formed nucleoplasmic projections along adjacent surfaces. After contact of the pronuclei, small internuclear bridges joining them were formed by fusion at several regions of the nuclear envelope projections. No specific site of fusion or breakdown of nuclear envelopes was recognized in the pronuclei during karyogamy. In the advanced stage, clumps of condensing chromatin appeared in the nucleoplasm of the newly fused pronuclei. The number and diameter of the internuclear bridges increased gradually by progressive fusion in many regions, finally yielding a spherical zygote nucleus. Following complete formation of the zygote nucleus, the pronuclear envelope began to break down concomitantly with shrinkage of the nucleoplasm, which was highly convoluted around the entire nuclear surface. The nucleoplasm containing chromosomes then mingled with the perinuclear cytoplasm. 相似文献

In interspecific hybridization between Oryzias latipes and O. javanicus, all hybrid embryos failed to develop and died before hatching. Cytological examination of fertilization and early development was performed to discover the cause of lethal development. When O. latipes eggs were inseminated by sperm of O. javanicus, the cortical reaction was induced normally. Chromosomal material in the fertilized eggs was visualized using the DNA-specific fluorochrome Hoechst. The spermatozoon was capable of penetrating into the egg cytoplasm through the micropyle, and the sperm nucleus transformed to the male pronucleus. The female pronucleus that formed after extrusion of the second polar body migrated towards the male pronucleus. The female and the male pronuclei underwent DNA synthesis and encountered each other in the center of the blastodisc, fused with one another and formed a zygote nucleus before breakdown of the nuclear envelope. Metaphase chromosomes with electron dense chromatin regions were abnormally divided into each blastomere in cleavage. The abnormally separating chromatin masses were also labeled by BrdU. The abnormal separation resulting in partial loss of fragmented chromatin might be a cause of abortive development in the interspecific hybrids between O. latipes and O. javanicus. 相似文献

The sizes of oil droplets (globules) and the yolk sphere in the Medaka Oryzias latipes egg were measured in the developmental period from fertilization to hatching. Oil droplets coalesced with one another in
the process of shifting toward the vegetal pole, and a single large oil droplet was finally located at the vegetal pole region
in most eggs 2 days post-fertilization. The volume of the yolk sphere steeply decreased in the period from 2 to 8 days post-fertilization.
The volume of oil droplets also declined linearly from 4 to 10 days post-fertilization. Lipid components exhibited no distinct
change during embryogenesis. In order to verify whether oil droplets were required for development of Medaka embryos, oil
droplets were artificially removed from the early developing embryos without the chorion (egg envelope). Naked embryos without
the oil droplet developed normally to fry in the sterilized incubation medium and grew to the same mature fry as those grown
from the control embryos. 相似文献

To investigate how estrogen and androgen affect each other in inducing sex reversal in the medaka, O. Iatipes, 17β-estradiol (E2) and 17α-methyldihydrotestosterone (MDHT) were co-administered by a convenient method for hormonal treatment, in which freshly fertilized eggs were immersed for 24 h in saline containing either or both of the two sex steroids in different concentrations and/or ratios. The minimal concentrations of E2 and MDHT sufficient to induce the maximal rate of sex reversal from male to female and from female to male were 500 ng/ml and 2.5 ng/ml, respectively, both of which were referred to as the most efficacious dose (MED), and each equivalent for the inducing potency in sex reversal. E2 and MDHT, when simultaneously administered at MED, greatly suppressed each other to induce each corresponding sex reversal. Thus, the present experimental results indicate that E2 and DMHT are antagonists that induce corresponding sex reversal, and suggest that genotypic sex in the medaka might be modified through an unknown factor of common affinity to both sex steroids, by which the pathway of differentiation of either sex could be switched at the early stages of development far before gonadal sex differentiation. 相似文献

Sex reversal in the medaka Oryzias latipes by brief exposure of early embryos to estradiol-17beta 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
To induce sex reversal of male to female, freshly-fertilized eggs of the S-rR strain medaka (Oryzias latipes) were immersed in saline containing estradiol-17beta (E2) in different concentrations for various durations until hatching. Results of the present experiment showed that the immersion duration in 1 microg/ml E2 to induce 100% reversal of sex differentiation in the genotypic males was enough only for one day (24 hr) post-fertilization (dpf) and that treatment with E2 for 1 dpf resulted in a dose-dependent manner with the maximum sex reversal of 100% at 1 microg/ml. To ascertain early developmental periods efficacious for inducing sex reversal, additional brief immersion treatments of eggs with E2 were further performed individually for four different early developmental periods (Stages 4-9, 10-12, 13-15 and 16-18) within 1 dpf. As a result, induction of sex reversal was observed in all these short immersion periods without any restricted efficacy. Between both experimental and control groups treated with or without E2 for 1 dpf, differences in the number of germ cells in a gonad were compared in newly-hatched fry. It was found that gonads of the genotypic males (XY) treated with E2 revealed the female type which contained many germ cells with much dividing activity. These data suggest that a possible switch mechanism that exogenous E2 could trigger to change the genetic cascades involved in sex determination upon fertilization exists in early developmental stages. 相似文献

The purposeful induction of the lytic form of Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) infection combined with ganciclovir (GCV) treatment has been advocated as a novel strategy for EBV-positive B-cell lymphoma. We demonstrated that rituximab had a synergistic effect with dexamethasone on induction of the lytic EBV infection in CD20-positive lymphoma cells. Addition of GCV to the dexamethasone/rituximab-treated cells was more effective than dexamethasone/rituximab alone in killing EBV-positive lymphoma cells in vitro and in lymphoma-bearing nude mice but not in EBV-negative cells. These data suggest that induction of the lytic EBV infection with dexamethasone/rituximab in combination with GCV could be a potential virally targeted therapy for EBV-associated B-cell lymphoma. 相似文献
