家鸡和原鸡的线粒体DNA多态性比较

本文运用１１种限制性内切酶分析了家鸡（茶花鸡、尼西鸡、大理漾濞黄鸡）和原鸡共１０只个体的线粒体ＤＮＡ限制性片段长度多态性（ＲＦＬＰ）,平均每个个检测到的片段为４０条左右。但仅发现３种变异的限制性片制性格局,即ＳｔｕＩ－Ｂ,Ｅｃａ－Ｉ－ｂ和ＲＩ－Ｂ．其中ＳｔｕＩ－Ｂ和ＳｃａＩ－Ｂ为首次报道,而且均为原鸡所物有,ＥｃｏＲＩ－Ｂ则为大理漾濞黄鸡所特有。茶花鸡和尼西鸡拥有完全相同的限制性格局。经过计算,原     

含金地质体表生带中主要微生物类群的研究

通过对16个含金矿区主要微生物类群的分布、生态结构的研究,发现不同类型的金矿具有不同的微生物类群.金矿矿石与金矿酸水中的自养硫细菌和异养菌分布具有明显差异,酸性水中含自养硫细菌较多,含异养菌极少;金矿氧化带中的异氧菌一般多于自氧硫细菌,其优势菌以芽孢杆菌属中蜡状芽孢杆菌为主.研究结果揭示了金矿中存在的主要微生物类群,对阐明表生金的形成、成岩和蚀变作用具有一定的意义,对发掘生物湿法冶金菌种资源具有重要作用.     

Expression of mouse metallothionein-I gene confers cadmium resistance in transgenic tobacco plants

Transgenic tobacco plants containing a mouse metallothionein-I (MT-I) gene fused to the cauliflower mosaic virus 35S (CaMV 35S) promoter and nopaline synthase (nos) polyadenylation site were obtained by transforming tobacco leaf discs with an Agrobacterium tumefaciens strain carrying the chimaeric gene. Transformants were directly selected and rooted on medium containing cadmium and kanamycin. A total of 49 individual transgenic tobacco plants were regenerated. Among them 20% showed a very high expression level and their growth was unaffected by up to 200 M cadmium, whereas the growth of control plants was severely affected leaf chlorosis occurred on medium containing only 10 M cadmium. The concentration of MT-I in leaves of control and transgenic tobacco was determined with Cd/haemoglobin saturation assay, a polarographic method and western blotting. In addition, seeds from self-fertilized transgenic plants were germinated on medium containing toxic levels of cadmium and scored for tolerance/susceptibility to this heavy metal. The ratio of tolerant to susceptible plants was 3:1 indicating that the metallothionein gene is inherited as a single locus.     

α-Domain of human metallothionein IA can bind to metals in transgenic tobacco plants

We have introduced a genetically marked Dissociation transposable element (Ds ^HPT ) into tomato (Lycopersicon esculentum) by Agrobacterium tumefaciens-mediated transformation. Probes for the flanking regions of the T-DNA and transposed Ds ^HPT elements were obtained with the inverse polymerase chain reaction (IPCR) technique and used in RFLP linkage analyses. The RFLP map location of 11 T-DNAs carrying Ds ^HPT was determined. The T-DNAs are distributed on 7 of the 12 tomato chromosomes. To explore the feasibility of gene tagging strategies in tomato using Ds ^HPT , we examined the genomic distribution of Ds ^HPT receptor sites relative to the location of two different, but very closely linked, T-DNA insertion sites. After crosses with plants expressing Ac transposase, the hygromycin phosphotransferase (HPT) marker on the Ds element and the excision markers β-glucuronidase (GUS) and Basta resistance (BAR) facilitated the identification of plants bearing germinally transposed Ds ^HPT elements. RFLP mapping of 21 transposed Ds ^HPT elements originating from the two different T-DNA insertions revealed distinct patterns of reintegration sites.     

RGDS肽对大鼠主动脉球囊内膜剥脱后血管壁增殖的影响

在大鼠主动脉球囊内膜剥脱术后血管壁细胞过度增殖模型上,用合成的血小板膜纤维蛋白原受体（ｇｌｙｃｏｐｒｏｔｅｉｎⅡｂ／Ⅲａｃｏｍｐｌｅｘ,ＧＰⅡｂ／Ⅲａ）拮抗剂ＲＧＤＳ（Ａｒｇ－Ｇｌｙ－Ａｓｐ－Ｓｅｒ,５０μｍｏｌ·ｋｇ－１·ｄ－１）治疗可有效地抑制损伤血管壁的细胞计数增加和内膜增厚以及血管平滑肌细胞增殖,显著降低其血管组织３Ｈ－ＴｄＲ和３Ｈ－Ｌｅｕ的参入增加程度。实验结果提示ＲＧＤＳ肽作为血管成型术的辅佐剂,对于防治血管再狭窄可能具有潜在的临床应用前景。     

广西北部湾海岸带、海岛的外来入侵植物

为保护广西北部湾海岸带、海岛的植物多样性和生态系统多样性,通过样方、样带法野外实地调查并结合文献资料,对其外来入侵植物的物种组成、原产地、生活型、入侵途径和危害状况等进行了分析。结果表明,广西北部湾海岸带、海岛共有入侵植物64种,隶属28科55属,其中菊科(Asteraceae)最多(15种)。草本植物最多,有48种(75.00%)。原产地来自美洲的植物最多,有49种。入侵风险等级可划分为5个等级,其中Ⅰ级严重危害的有8种(12.50%)。与广西、广东、海南及华南地区的外来入侵植物在物种组成、生活型和原产地等方面呈现出较强的相似性;北部湾与广西中越边境内陆地区来自美洲的入侵植物都超过60%。因此推测广西外来入侵植物有两条可能的入侵线路：一是从海南登录,二是从中越边境跨入。广西北部湾海岸带、海岛的外来入侵植物总数(相对整个广西)虽较少,但其8种Ⅰ级严重危害植物的防治,仍需引起重视。

RTN TRH causes prolonged respiratory stimulation

Cream, Carlos L., Aihua Li, and Eugene E. Nattie. RTNTRH causes prolonged respiratory stimulation. J. Appl.Physiol. 83(3): 792-799, 1997.We injectedthyrotropin-releasing hormone (TRH; 10 nl; 0.25, 0.5, 1.0, or 10 mM),its inactive free acid form (TRHOH; 1 mM), or a metabolite with lowTRH-receptor binding affinity, histidine-proline diketopiperazine (cHP;1 mM), into the retrotrapezoid nucleus of anesthetized rats. Injectionlocation was verified by anatomic analysis. Lower doses (0.25-0.5mM) significantly increased both the product of integrated phrenicamplitude and frequency(Phr · f) and f for 20-30min compared with artificial cerebrospinal fluid control injections. Higher doses (1.0-10 mM) produced greater and long-lastingstimulation of Phr · f,Phr, and f and of blood pressure. Thisstimulation reached values 150% of baseline and durations of 270 minafter a single injection. TRHOH (1 mM ) or cHP (1 mM) had no effect onPhr but increased f, as did 1 mM TRH. We concludethat TRH has a very powerful stimulatory effect in the retrotrapezoidnucleus region on Phr · f, withthe Phr response seemingly specific for TRHreceptors. Similar responses of f to TRHOH and cHP suggest it may benonspecific.

     

无花果果皮中花青素的提取工艺的建立

本研究使用单因素方法考察了无花果(Ficus carica L.)果皮中花青素的最佳提取条件,并考察了7种参数对花青素提取率的影响。参数设置如下:溶剂性质(水,甲醇,乙醇和丙酮)、提取次数(1~3次)、固液比(1/50,1/100,1/150和1/200)、提取时间(60 min,120 min,180 min和240 min)、甲醇浓度(0,20%,40%,60%,80%和100%)、酸类型(盐酸,乙酸,柠檬酸和酒石酸)和酸浓度(0,1%,2%,5%和10%)。使用pH-示差法测量无花果果皮中单体花色素的含量。研究显示,无花果果皮中花青素的最佳提取条件为:溶剂为甲醇溶剂,提取次数为2次,固液比为1/100,提取时间为180 min,甲醇浓度为80%,酸类型为柠檬酸,柠檬酸浓度为5%。该最佳提取条件下的花青素的提取率达到最高(345.62 mg/100g DS)。
