Annual net production was estimated in the secondary coppice forest near Tokyo, which was dominated by a deciduous oak,Quercus serrata Thunb. Lateral growth of stems and old branches was directly estimated by examining the annual rings for 35 shoots in a clear-cut
quadrat of 10m×10m. Phytomasses of current organs were also weighed in the quadrat. Preharvest losses of current organs were
determined by twelve 0.5 m2 litter traps for fine litter and twelve 6 m2 quadrats for woody litter. Branch production was also assessed indirectly by use of the stem-branch allometry and death of
branches. The results of the indirect method were in sufficient agreement with the result of the direct one. Grazing loss
of leaves from the canopy was estimated directly from the loss in leaf area and indirectly from the animal faeces caught by
the litter traps.
Net production of the canopy trees was 149 kg a−1 year−1, in which leaf production was 36.9 kg. Animals grazed about 14% of the leaf area by the end of the growing season. True consumption
of leaves by animals was 7.6% of leaf production or 10% of leaf mass. Production of undergrowth, mainly a dwarf bamboo,Pleioblastus chino Makino, was 28 kg a−1 year−1, being 15% of the total stand production.
Productivity of this forest was significantly higher than that of cool-temperate deciduous broadleaf forests. 相似文献

Purpose of work
To explore a novel glycolipid, we performed biochemical reactions using a recombinant α-glucosidase from Geobacillus sp. which shows excellent transglycosylation reaction to hydroxyl groups in a variety of compounds. 相似文献3.

We attempted to optimize sulfonamide-based non-alkyne LpxC inhibitors by focusing on improvements in enzyme inhibitory and antibacterial activity. It was discovered that inhibitors possessing 2-aryl benzofuran as a hydrophobe exhibited good activity. In particular, compound 21 displayed impressive antibacterial activity (E. coli MIC = 0.063 μg/mL, K. pneumoniae MIC = 0.5 μg/mL, and P. aeruginosa MIC = 0.5 μg/mL), and is a promising lead for further exploration as an antibacterial agent. 相似文献

Fresh loquat leaves have been used as folk health herb in Asian countries for long time, although the evidence supporting their functions is still minimal. This study aimed to clarify the chemopreventive effect of loquat tea extract (LTE) by investigating the inhibition on proliferation, and underlying mechanisms in human promyelocytic leukemia cells (HL-60). LTE inhibited proliferation of HL-60 in a dose-dependent manner. Molecular data showed that the isolated fraction of LTE induced apoptosis of HL-60 as characterized by DNA fragmentation; activation of caspase-3, -8, and -9; and inactivation of poly(ADP)ribose polymerase. Moreover, LTE fraction increased the ratio of pro-apoptotic Bcl-2-associated X protein (Bax)/anti-apoptotic myeloid cell leukemia 1 (Mcl-1) that caused mitochondrial membrane potential loss and cytochrome c released to cytosol. Thus, our data indicate that LTE might induce apoptosis in HL-60 cells through a mitochondrial dysfunction pathway. These findings enhance our understanding for chemopreventive function of loquat tea. 相似文献

Expression of nephrin, a crucial component of the glomerular slit diaphragm, is downregulated in patients with proteinuric glomerular diseases. Using conditionally immortalized reporter podocytes, we found that bystander macrophages as well as macrophage-derived cytokines IL-1beta and TNF-alpha markedly suppressed activity of the nephrin gene promoter in podocytes. The cytokine-initiated repression was reversible, observed on both basal and inducible expression, independent of Wilms' tumor suppressor WT1, and caused in part via activation of the phosphatidylinositol-3-kinase/Akt pathway. These results indicated a novel mechanism by which activated macrophages participate in the induction of proteinuria in glomerular diseases. 相似文献

The Solanum abutiloides plant is highly resistant to soil-borne pathogens such as Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. melongenae, Verticillium dahliae, and Ralstonia solanacearum. This species is utilized as a mating source of resistant cultivars and is also used as a rootstock. The root exudate of Solanum abutiloides was extracted from a soil system composed of charcoal and vermiculite. Anti-fungal activity was found in the extract, and an active ingredient was isolated. The chemical structure of the active compound was determined to be 3-beta-acetoxysolavetivone, a new sesquiterpenoid. The anti-fungal activity of 3-beta-acetoxysolavetivone examined by the inhibition of spore germination of Fusarium oxysporum was close to that of lubimin, and higher than that of solavetivone. 相似文献

An efficient asymmetric synthesis of the chiral N-(3-chloro-2-hydroxypropyl)anilines (2a and 2b) was achieved through the regioselective ring-opening reaction of chiral epichlorohydrin with aniline. This was applied to an asymmetric synthesis of the enantiomers of 1-[4,4-bis(4-fluorophenyl)butyl]-4-[2-hydroxy-3-(phenylamino)propyl]piperazine 1 as a novel potent dopamine uptake inhibitor. Both enantiomers as trihydrochlorides, 4a.3HCl and 4b.3HCl, could be synthesized in good total yields and optical purities of 100% ee in three steps synthesis, respectively. The absolute configurations of 4a.3HCl and 4b.3HCl were determined using the modified Mosher's method with the related compounds, the intermediates (2a and 2b) and the free bases (4a and 4b). The analytical results indicated that 4a.3HCl and 4b.3HCl have the (S)- and (R)-configuration, respectively, and a series of reactions to provide them proceeded without the apparent influence on the stereochemistry at the chiral centers. In in vitro pharmacological evaluations, 4a.3HCl and 4b.3HCl showed potent dopamine transporter binding affinities, high dopamine, moderate serotonin, and weak norepinephrine uptake inhibitory activities, and 4a.3HCl exhibited a more potent and selective dopamine uptake inhibition over the serotonin or norepinephrine uptake inhibition as compared with 4b.3HCl. An ex vivo evaluation revealed that the oral administrations of both enantiomers at a dose of 30 mg/kg in rats displayed apparent dopamine uptake inhibitory activities and 4a.3HCl had a stronger tendency to inhibit dopamine uptake compared with 4b.3HCl. 相似文献

The small GTPase Rho and its effector ROCK/Rho-kinase regulate actin cytoskeletal reorganization through phosphorylation of the regulatory light chain of myosin II. We previously reported that ROCK co-purified with the actin-binding protein filamin-A from HeLa cells. Here, we show that the pleckstrin homology (PH) domain of ROCK, but not the kinase or coiled-coil domain, interacts with filamin-A. We also determined that the PH domain of ROCK binds to the carboxy-terminal region of filamin-A containing the last 24th repeat. ROCK co-localized with filamin-A at the protrusive cell membranes of HeLa cells. 相似文献
