Plant antifreeze proteins and their expression regulatory mechanism

Low temperature is one of the major limiting environmental factors which constitutes the growth, development,productivity and distribution of plants. Over the past several years, the proteins and genes associated with freezing resistance of plants have been widely studied. The recent progress of domestic and foreign research on plant antifreeze proteins and the identification and characterization of plant antifreeze protein genes, especially on expression regulatory mechanism of plant antifreeze proteins are reviewed in this paper. Finally, some unsolved problems and the trend of research in physiological functions and gene expression regulatory mechanism of plant antifreeze proteins are discussed.     

栀子多糖的抗肿瘤活性研究

采用3种不同的方法分别测定了栀子（Gardenia jasminoides Eills)多糖对3种不同肿瘤细胞的抑制情况，结果表明，栀子多糖具有比较广谱的抑瘤效应，土豆碟法测定栀子多糖对根癌农杆菌（Agrobacterium tumefaciens)C58诱导植物根瘤的最高抑制率为68．4％（1．258mg/mL栀子多糖），MTT法测定栀子多糖对人红白血病细胞K562的无毒剂量约为0．4ug/mL，低毒剂量约为14．33ug/mL，半致死剂量约为62．61ug/mL，100ug/mL栀子多糖对人红白血病K562细胞的抑制率为63．2％，实体瘤称重法测定栀子多糖对小鼠腹水肝癌Hca-f实体瘤的抑制情况表明，栀子多糖口服给药效果优于注射给药的效果，500ug/(kg.d)的栀子多糖口服对小鼠肝癌实体瘤的抑制率达49％。

Dynamics of Zn between soil and plant in Northeast Leymus chinensis grassland

A study was conducted to determine the dynamic of Zn content between soil and plant in the natural protection zone of Leymus chinensis grassland in Changling County (44°30′–44°45′N; 123°31′–124°10′E), Jilin Province, China. Results showed that the total Zn content was lower, available Zn content had a moderate level in the soil, and the plants was not lack of Zn. During the growing season, content of total Zn and available Zn in soil showed a down-trend distribution along the soil profile. Content of total Zn had a significantly positive correlation with that of the organic matter, but it was negatively correlated to soil pH. Monthly dynamic of the average content of total Zn showed a “V” type curve in the growing season from May to August, and July was the nadir. The trend of the average content of available Zn was similar to the content of total Zn, but was down after August; Zn content variation in the organs and litter of L. chinensis was great, with the order of root>rhizome >leaf>stem>litter. The ratio of available Zn content in A layer versus B layer was more than 2 times that of the total Zn, which indicated that the soil of A layer had higher enrichment capacity of available Zn. The enrichment of Zn in the root of L. chinensis was 44.17 times as that in the soil. The absorbing intensity of root had a significantly negative correlation with the activity of Zn in the soil (r=−0.8800, p<0.01).
