Some Problems in the Assay Method of HMG-CoA Reductase Activity in Sweet Potato in the Presence of Other HMG-CoA Utilizing Enzymes

In addition to HMG-CoA reductase, another HMG-CoA utilizing enzyme is present in the Mt fraction of sweet potato root tissue and its activity interferes with the assay to HMG-CoA reductase activity.     

墨红鲜花香气(头香)成分分析

利用 XAD-4憎水性吸附树脂采集墨红头香,以毛细管气相色谱双柱保留指数和 GC/MS/DS 联用方法鉴定头香的化学成份。共分离鉴定或初步鉴定了45种组份,其中含量较大的有乙酸芳樟酯(14.98%),柠檬烯(12.07%),甲基苯甲醚(9.88%),香茅醇(4.82%),乙酸巳酯(3.98%),β-石竹烯(4.55%),芳樟醇(3.18%),正巳醇(3.17%)等.     

若干铁杉属植物核型的比较研究

本文首次报道了我国特产的重点保护植物南方铁杉的核型,全由中部和近中部着丝点染色体构成,核型公式为K(2n)=2x=24=20m+4sm,属“ 2A”类型。染色体的相对长度组成为2n=24=12M_2+10M_1+2S。通过比较。发现东亚的南方铁杉的核型与台湾铁杉甚为相似而略具进化的趋势,但北美东部的卡罗来纳铁杉的核型比它们进化得多。本文支持Florin认为铁杉属至少在早第三纪存在一条从欧亚大陆经过白令海峡到达北美洲的迁移路线的意见。     

栽培中华猕猴桃的染色体观察

对原产地位于赣鄂边界幕阜山地区的十二个大果型中华猕猴桃优株或株系的染色体数目观察表明,这些栽培类型全部为四倍体,2n=4x=116。讨论了染色体倍性与果实大小的关系及几种可能的育种方法。     

球针壳属一新种和一新组合

本文报道了球针壳属(Phyllactinia)的一个新种和一个新组合,即寄生于杜鹃花科(Ericaceae)吊钟花属(ENkianthus)灯笼花(E.chinensis Franch)上的灯笼花球针壳(Phyllactiniaenkianthi z.y. zhao sp. nov.)和寄生于茶藨子科(Grossulariaceae)茶藨子(Ribes sp.)上的茶藨子球针壳(Phyllactinia ribesii(Jacz.)z. y. zhao comb. nov.)。上述新分类单位均有汉文和拉丁文描述,新分类单位与近似种有汉文讨论。     

夏蜡梅核型的研究

本文首次报道我国特有重点保护植物夏蜡梅的核型为K(2n)=2x=22=18m+2m(SAT)+2sm,属Stebbins的“1A”类型,在演化上处于相当原始的地位。它的核型似比北美的光叶红对称和原始,因此至少夏蜡梅属可能起源于中国。     

内蒙东部地区绵羊中华双腔吸虫生物学和流行病学的研究

中华双腔吸虫(Dicrocoelium chinensis Tang et Tang,1978)的生活史虽经研究,但本吸虫在第二中间宿主及终末宿主体内发育的情况尚未经阐明(唐崇惕等,1980).内蒙科右前旗附近数个旗县是本吸虫的流行区,1980—1981年我们在那里进行本项工作,从     

Plant regeneration from somatic embryos ofTaxus brevifolia

Summary Taxusbrevifolia is the source of paclitaxel (Taxol®), an anticancer drug. A method for regeneration ofTaxus brevifolia from immature zygotic embryos via somatic embryogenesis is described. Embryogenic callus tissues were obtained by culturing immature zygotic embryos on Lloyd and McCown medium (MCM) supplemented with 160 M 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4-D) + 5 M benzylaminopurine (BA) + 5 M naphthaleneacetic acid (NAA) for 4 weeks. Putative embryoids were obtained following transfer of cultures to MCM medium supplemented with 4 M BA + 5 M kinetin + 1 M NAA for 6 to 8 weeks. Conversion of embryos was obtained on MCM medium supplemented with 40 M abscisic acid (ABA) + 1% activated charcoal. Development of bipolar structures with recognizable shoot and root apices was observed in somatic embryos. Five percent of somatic embryos were regenerated into plantlets on half-strength growth regulator-free MCM medium.     

Chemical induction of adventitious root formation in Taxus baccata cuttings

The effect of some auxins (IBA and NAA), phenolic compounds (phloroglucinol, gentisic acid and coumarin), a combination of auxins and phenolics, and a systemic fungicide (Bavistin) have been examined for stimulatory effects on adventitious root formation in stem cuttings (current season's growth) of Taxus baccata L. In general lower concentration (0.25 mM) of both IBA and NAA was more effective in inducing rooting of cuttings taken from both male and female trees. The combined treatment of IBA+NAA (0.25 mM each) showed some success in cuttings from male trees only (55%, compared to 15% rooting in cuttings from female trees). Generally, the callus formation was quite high (70%) in all auxin treatments (alone or in combination). Among the phenolics, 40% rooting success was achieved with phloroglucinol only, while coumarin and gentisic acid were ineffective. The combined treatment of auxins and phenolics also failed to promote rooting. On the other hand, Bavistin was extremely effective for callusing (90%) as well as rooting (80%). The effectiveness of various compounds tested for rooting of young stem cuttings declined in the order: 0.25 mM IBA>0.05% Bavistin>0.25 mM NAA>1.25 mM IBA>15 mM phloroglucinol>IBA+NAA (0.25 mM each). In addition to the auxins, IBA and NAA that are widely used for commercial propagation, the auxin-like properties of the fungicide Bavistin could be exploited for adventitious rooting in T. baccata, and in other plant species.
