Embryological Studies on Narcissus tazetta var. chinensis

Chinese narcissus (Narcissus tazetta var.chinensis Roem) blooms but has no seeds.Embryological studies on the species were conducted to discover the causes of its sterility.Its anther wall is composed of four layers of cells,and its tapetum is of the secretory type.The cytokinesis of microspore mother cells is of the successive type,and the tetrad is tetrahedral.During meiosis of microspore mother cells,some chromosomes lagged,and several micronuclei were found in tetrads.Only 27.7% of the pollen grains contained full cytoplasm,and 1.3% of them germinated in culture medium.No pollen grain,however,could germinate on the stigma.The ovary is trilocular with axile placenta,and the ovules are bitegmic,tenuinucellate,and anatropous.Its embryo sac is of the polygonum type.Most embryo sacs degenerated,and only about 4.5% of the ovules contained a normal embryo sac with an egg cell,two synergids,three antipodal,and a central cell containing two polar nuclei.One reason for the sterility of Chinese narcissus is the abnormality of microsporogenesis and megasporogenesis,in which only a few functional pollen grains and embryo sacs are produced.The other reason is that the pollen grains cannot germinate on the stigma.     

三七总RNA提取方法的对比研究

比较利用改进的异硫氰酸胍一步法、异硫氰酸胍高盐法、CTAB法和Thomas’RNA提取法等4种方法提取三七根茎2个部位总RNA的可行性。结果表明,改进的异硫氰酸胍一步法和异硫氰酸胍高盐法能有效地抑制酚类物质、多糖及皂苷等次级代谢产物对总RNA的影响,可从三七根茎中获得质量高、完整性好的总RNA。RT—PCR分析显示提取的总RNA具有反转录活性。这2种方法具有快速、简单、有效的特点。     

气候变化对6种荒漠植物分布的潜在影响

分析气候变化对植物分布的影响,对保护生物多样性具有重要意义。利用CART（分类和回归树）模型及A2和B2情景,分析了气候变化对短叶假木贼（Anabasis brevifolia）、裸果木（Gymnocarpos przewalskii）、梭梭（Haloxylon ammoden-dron）、膜果麻黄（Ephedra przewalskii）、驼绒藜（Ceratoides latens）和喀什膜果麻黄（Ephedra przewalskii var.kaschgarica）分布范围及空间格局的影响。结果表明：气候变化下,这些植物目前适宜分布范围减小;从新适宜及总适宜分布范围而言,短叶假木贼和梭梭从1991-2020年到2051-2080年时段增加,之后减小,其它植物从1991-2020年到2081-2100年时段减小;喀什膜果麻黄和驼绒藜适宜分布范围减小并破碎化,其它植物向目前适宜分布的西部、西北部（或青海西南部）、昆仑山、阿尔金山和祁连山区扩展;除驼绒藜和喀什膜果麻黄与年均气温变化具显著相关性外,其它植物分布范围与年均气温和降水量变化的相关性较弱（P〉0.05）,除驼绒藜、喀什膜果麻黄和裸果木目前分布范围与年均气温和降水量变化的回归关系较强外,其它植物分布范围与年均气温和年降水量变化多元线性回归关系较弱。上述研究结果表明,气候变化下,这些植物空间分布格局改变,目前分布范围减少,新适宜及总适宜分布范围近期增加,随着气候变化程度的增强,又逐渐减小。     

A Quick,Onsite Test for Delineating Arsenic Contaminant Plumes in Soil

Dipping vats were used routinely in the southeastern U.S. in the early 1900s to eradicate the cattle fever tick. The legacy is many dip vat sites with arsenic (As)-contaminated soil and ground water. Assessing the extent of these As plumes can be time consuming and expensive. We describe a quicker and less expensive, onsite test for soil As. It is a modification of a commercially available test designed for As in water, taking about 10?min to complete, allowing large plume areas to be delineated in a single day. An As contaminant plume in Alachua County, FL, was delineated using the quick test. Soil samples taken from a large grid encompassing the plume were analyzed in the laboratory for As to confirm the results obtained with the quick test. The comparison showed that the quick test very accurately delineated the outer boundary of the plume as well as zones of higher As concentration within the plume.     

单叶黄荆的分类学修订

根据对单叶黄荆（Vitex simplicifolia）模式标本的研究,结合在其模式产地的野外调查,发现单叶黄荆与黄荆（V.negundo）并无本质区别,不宜作为独立的种,但其叶片为单叶而且比较稳定,将其降级并组合为黄荆的变种。     

关于瓦布贝母的分类等级研究

基于营养体和花部形态,将瓦布贝母（F．wabuensis）降为暗紫贝母的一个变种：F.unibracteata var.wabuensis。     

云参化学成分研究——Ⅳ.云参、党参脂溶性成分和水溶性成分的薄层层析图谱比较

本文比较了云参和党参脂溶性成分和水溶性成分的薄层层析图谱。结果表明,云参、党参的脂溶性成分(乙醚、乙酸乙酯提取物)和水溶性成分(95％乙醇、水提取物、糖类成分)均基本相同,为云参代替党参使用提供了可靠的科学依据。     

长柄双花木光合功能对光强的适应

在光强较高的纯林和阔叶林内,长柄双花木净光合速率呈“双峰曲线”,并伴随有胞间CO2的下降和气孔限制值的增大;随着日间光强的增大,叶片PQ还原程度和非光化学猝灭（NPQ）增加,ΦPSⅡ则下降,但后者午后随着光强的下降可得到完全恢复;叶片吸收光能分配于光化学反应的比例随着光强的增大而迅速减少;而天线色素热耗散部分及反应中心过剩的光能则显著增加,在午后光强减弱后两者均可恢复到早晨的初始水平。在低照度光的竹林内,净光合速率呈现“单峰曲线”,叶片PQ还原程度、NPQ以及ΦPSⅡ均无明显变化,叶片吸收光能也主要用于光化学反应,热耗散及过剩光能比例均较低。     

农杆菌介导的甜菜碱醛脱氢酶基因转化甘蓝的研究

为获得抗旱和耐盐性提高的甘蓝植株,通过农杆菌介导法将来自菠菜的甜菜碱醛脱氢酶（Betaine Aldehyde Dehydrogenase,BADH）基因导人甘蓝品系03079,并采用正交设计优化影响转化效率的参数,建立了甘蓝高效转化体系,即以侵染液为AA液体培养基、乙酰丁香酮200μmol L^-1、侵染时间20min、共培养天数2d为最佳转化参数,在该条件下转化率可达54．26％。转基因甘蓝植株经PCR检测初步说明BADH基因已导入甘蓝中,Southern杂交证明BADH基因已稳定整合到甘蓝基因组中。甜菜碱脱氢酶活性测定结果表明,经过聚乙二醇（PEG）、NaCI和干旱处理的转基因甘蓝植株的BADH酶的平均比活力范围在2．1Umg^-1～3．6Umg^-1之间,不同处理的转基因株系酶比活力显著高于相应的未转基因株系。膜的相对电导率测定结果说明,经过PEG、NaCl和干旱处理的转基因植株平均相对电导率在16．2％～32．6％之间,耐逆境胁迫处理后的绝大多数转基因株系相对电导率显著低于相应对照。多数转BADH基因甘蓝植株在干旱、盐胁迫和PEG胁迫条件下生长势强于未转基因植株,表现为大多数转基因株系株高增幅显著高于对照,说明BADH基因的导入能提高转基因甘蓝植株的抗旱和耐盐性。我们获得的抗旱和耐盐能力明显提高的转基因甘蓝植株,可作为培育耐盐、抗旱甘蓝品种的种质材料。
