A method for isolating an f-type cytochrome (Chlorella cytochrome554) from Chlorella vulgaris var. viridis (CHODAT) utilizingN, N-diethylaminoethylcellulose is described. The spectrum ofreduced Chlorella cyt. 554 has absorption maxima at 554 mµ(-band), 524 mµ (ß-band), 417 mµ (SORETband), 352 mµ, 319 mµ and 277 mµ (proteinband). The oxidized form has absorption maxima at 554mµ530 mµ, (ß-band), 412 mµ (SORET band),360mµ 322 mµ and 275 mµ (protein band). Thespectral characteristics resembled other f-type cytochromes,e. g. in the high SORET to -extinction ratio (6.8) and an asymmetric-absorption band (especially at liquid N2 temperature) ; butcharacteristic differences were present. Mitochondria from whitelupine seedlings and sweet potato roots reduced Chlorella cyt.554. From the effects of antimycin A and 2-heptyl-4-hydroxyquinolineN-oxide it appears that Chlorella cyt. 554 was reduced sequentiallybefore cytochrome a+a3 and near the level of the cytochromesof the b type. Oxidation was slow using lupine mitochondriaand nil with sweet potato mitochondria. The oxidation-reductionpotential at pH 7.2 and 30? was 0.35 V. Ascorbate, cysteine,glutathione and Na2S2O4 readily reduced Chlorella cyt. 554.The cytochrome was not autoxidizable and was slowly oxidizedby excess potassium ferricyanide. The reduced form did not reactwith CO and was not adsorbed by IRC-50 or Cellex-P cation exchangers.

A new species of Trichogramma that parasitizes Sialis melania eggs is described as Trichogramma tajimaense Yashiro, Hirose and Honda, sp. nov. from Japan. Its phylogenetic position is based on a DNA‐based analysis, and data regarding its male wing polymorphism are also presented. The view that T. tajimaense is closely related to T. semblidis, another parasitoid of Sialis eggs, is supported by the results of a phylogenetic analysis, as well as by the biological and morphological similarities between both species. Trichogramma tajimaense is also similar in male wing polymorphism to T. kurosuae, a gregarious egg parasitoid of the lepidopteran Ivela auripes, as both Trichogramma species exhibit male wing trimorphism (fully alate, brachypterous and apterous forms) in contrast to the male wing dimorphism (fully alate and apterous forms) of T. semblidis. However, no phylogenetic analysis reveals a close relationship between T. tajimaense and T. kurosuae, and a difference exists between these two species in the mean percentage of flightless (brachypterous and apterous) males that emerge from a host egg mass; 96% of T. tajimaense males are incapable of flight, whereas about 50% of T. kurosuae males are flightless. Because all or almost all males of T. semblidis parasitizing Sialis eggs are apterous, T. tajimaense is more similar to T. semblidis than to T. kurosuae in the proportion of flightless males. In addition, male wing polymorphisms of Trichogramma in relation to mating systems could also show a similarity between T. tajimaense and T. semblidis when considering both species as quasi‐gregarious parasitoids of Sialis eggs. 相似文献

In addition to photoperiod, thermoperiod (or thermocycle) might be an important Zeitgeber for entraining the circadian oscillator controlling adult eclosion rhythm in the Indian meal moth Plodia interpunctella Hübner (Lepidoptera: Pyralidae). This is confirmed by exposing larvae receiving diapause‐preventing treatments to various thermocycles with different means and amplitudes of temperature. The thermocycles investigated in the present study are TC 8 : 16 h, TC 12 : 12 h, TC 16 : 8 h and TC 20 : 4 h, where T and C represent thermophase (30 °C) and cryophase (20 °C), respectively. For all thermocycles, the peak of adult eclosion rhythm occurs at around the mid‐thermophase. This indicates that the larvae use both ‘temperature‐rise’ and ‘temperature‐fall’ signals to adjust the eclosion phase in each thermocycle. The absence (DD) or presence (LL) of light affects this time‐keeping system slightly under the given thermocycle. The rhythmic adult eclosion noted after exposure of larvae to 30 °C DD for 14 days is recorded in the thermocycles (TC 12 : 12 h, DD; mean temperature = 25 °C) with different amplitudes of 27.5/22.5 °C, 26.5/23.5 °C and 25.5/24.5 °C. The peak in adult eclosion advances in time as the amplitude of the temperature cycle decreases. In the temperature cycle of 25.5/24.5 °C, a peak occurs at the end of the cryophase, 2 h before the temperature‐rise. The adult eclosion rhythm is also observed under various thermocycles (TC 12 : 12 h, DD) consisting of different temperature levels (30 to 20 °C) with different amplitudes. It is found that the temporal position of the peak advances significantly when the amplitude of the thermocycle becomes lower. 相似文献

Defensive potential of components of the larval osmeterial secretion of papilionid butterflies against ants 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
KEIICHI HONDA 《Physiological Entomology》1983,8(2):173-179
ABSTRACT. Toxicity and repellency of components of larval osmeterial secretions of the Papilionidae to the ants Lasius niger and Crematogaster matsumurai were evaluated in the laboratory and in the field. The test chemicals comprised five aliphatic acids, five esters, three monoterpene hydrocarbons and four sesquiterpenes.
The majority of aliphatic acids and esters exhibited weak to potent toxicity, but exposure to acetic, isobutyric, 2-methylbutyric and isovaleric acids, ethyl 2-methylbutyrate and methyl 3-hydroxy- n -butyrate proved fatal to both ant species. Monoterpene hydrocarbons also had considerable toxicity, whereas sesquiterpenes were only slightly or not toxic. Of the terpenic compounds tested, α-pinene was found to be the most toxic. L. niger ejected formic acid in response to d -limonene.
Field experiments revealed that all the compounds examined except 3-hydroxy- n -butyric acid were significantly repellent to worker ants of both species. Acetic, isobutyric and 2-methylbutyric acids especially showed pronounced repellency, while the esters were less deterrent.
Among terpenic compounds, the repellency of caryophyllene oxide was noticeable. d -Limonene elicited no particular response, other than rapid evasion, by L. niger. 相似文献

Both KMnO4 and HCHO in concentrations used for fixation forelectron microscopy induce pronounced swelling of spinach chloroplasts.However, since electron microscopy samples small numbers, itis possible to overlook the swelling effect because the sizerange of the swollen chloroplasts can overlap the extremelywide range of chloroplasts in living mesophyll cells. HCHO fixesspinach chloroplasts only after 16 hr incubation, as verifiedby failure of the chloroplaststo swell when subsequently washedwith water. However, the HCHO treatment fails to prevent aninitial swelling and KMnO4 further swells chloroplasts pre-fixedwith HCHO. Spinach chloroplasts in vivo measured in face area27.7 0.06 µ2 mean value, 23.8 µ2 mode value, range6.2 to 102.9 µ2, and their distribution is skewed so thatthe coefficient of skewness is 0.15. Chloroplasts isolated directlyinto phosphate buffered 4% HCHO after 24 hrs measured in facearea 58.2 µ2 mean value, 46.5 µ2 mode value, range22 to 121 µ2, and the coefficient of skewness increasedto 0.24. When such chloroplasts were additionally treated withphosphate buffered 2.8 % KMnO4 the spinach chloroplasts measuredin facearea 96.4 1.40 µ2 mean value, 86.1 µ2 modevalue, range22 to 203 µ2, and the coefficient of skewnessunchanged at 0.24. Volumes of spinach chloroplasts isolatedin NaCl as reported in the literature approach the volumes ofchloroplasts swollen by HCHO and KMnO4. Some problems concerningsampling difficulties because of wide size ranges and skeweddistributions are discussed.

Further advances leading to more sophisticated and effective suppression of melanogenesis and melanoma growth based on clarification and utilization of common vital factors involved in both processes are reviewed. Induction of depigmentation has been achieved by both glycosylation and its processing inhibitors, which have been found to be critical for the maturation and transport of tyrosinase from ribosomes through GERL-coated vesicles into premelanosomes. Kojic acid, a copper chelating melanogenic inhibitor, can induce inhibition of isolated tyrosinase activity as well as melanization in living pigment cells in in vitro and in vivo systems. This depigmenting effect was found to be due to a concurrent decrease in both eu- and pheomelanin formation. Malignant melanoma principally has accentuated melanosome genesis, which has been utilized to accumulate selectively 10B into melanoma cells using 10B-dopa analogue. Subsequent thermal neutron irradiation induces 10B(n, α)7Li reaction which releases high LET particles within a range of 10–14 μm thus erradicating selectively melanoma at the cellular level. This new therapy has been applied to a human melanoma lesion for the first time, and a successful therapeutic effect on melanoma has been obtained. 相似文献

Two Geometrical Models of Branching of Botanical Trees 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
A botanical tree may be regarded as a system of axes which developby repeated bifurcation. A complicated tree can be describedby a few parameters of bifurcation which determine the geometryof the bifurcation process. A bifurcation model (H-model) haspreviously been proposed and shown to be useful for comparisonwith trees which have branch complexes which approach a horizontalplane (e.g. Terminalia). Another bifurcation model (P-model)is now proposed which is appropriate to branching systems inwhich successive branch planes are perpendicular to each other(e.g. Cameraria and Tabernaemontana of the Apocynaceae). Bymodification of the P-model to take into account a geotropiceffect, a more realistic branching model for one kind of treespecies is produced. The relationship among these geometricalmodels of branching is discussed and illustrated with computersimulations. computer simulations, tree crown geometry, branching patterns, bifurcation models, Terminalia, Cameraria latifolia, Tabernaemontana, sp 相似文献
