穗期高温对玉米子粒灌浆生理及产量的影响

为揭示玉米穗期高温胁迫对子粒灌浆生理及产量的影响,以耐热型玉米品种郑单958和热敏感型玉米品种先玉335为试验材料,研究了第9片叶完全展开至抽雄期高温对玉米子粒灌浆特性、淀粉合成酶活性、激素含量和产量的影响。结果表明,穗期高温处理,郑单958和先玉335的产量分别比对照降低了11.14%和25.40%;2个品种的粒重和灌浆前期的灌浆速率降低,到达最大灌浆速率的时间延迟,灌浆速率最大时的生长量减小,活跃灌浆期延长;灌浆前期子粒淀粉合成酶活性降低;高温对先玉335的影响明显高于对郑单958。高温处理后,2个品种子粒中的生长素、玉米素核苷和赤霉素含量变化趋势一致,均表现为灌浆初期降低,灌浆后期升高,脱落酸含量表现则相反。     

氘标记稻瘟酯的合成及其杀菌活性

氘标记农药作为探针或者内标在农药代谢、毒理研究或者农药残留分析中发挥着重要作用。由于动力学同位素效应,C-D键比C-H键更为稳定,因此氘标记农药可能具有更长的半衰期,以及对非靶标生物更小的毒性。稻瘟酯是一种对水稻恶苗病和稻瘟病有良好防治效果的农用杀菌剂。本项研究利用单电子转移还原氘化反应和氘标记中间体,成功合成了4个不同位点被选择性氘代的稻瘟酯,其中3个化合物未见文献报道,并对其进行了杀菌活性测试。离体杀菌活性测试结果显示,上述4种氘代稻瘟酯对水稻稻瘟病菌和水稻恶苗病菌均具有良好的生物活性,与未被标记的稻瘟酯无显著差异。氘标记稻瘟酯未来可作为代谢、毒理研究的探针及农药残留分析中的内标。     

Anti-Inflammatory Cembranoids from a Formosa Soft Coral Sarcophyton cherbonnieri

The present investigation on chemical constituents of the soft coral Sarcophyton cherbonnieri resulted in the isolation of seven new cembranoids, cherbonolides F–L (1–7). The chemical structures of 1–7 were determined by spectroscopic methods, including infrared, one- and two-dimensional (1D and 2D) NMR (COSY, HSQC, HMBC, and NOESY), MS experiments, and a chemical reduction of hydroperoxide by triphenylphosphine. The anti-inflammatory activities of 1–7 against neutrophil proinflammatory responses were evaluated by measuring their inhibitory ability toward N-formyl-methionyl-leucyl-phenylalanine/cytochalasin B (fMLF/CB)-induced superoxide anion generation and elastase release in primary human neutrophils. The results showed that all isolates exhibited moderate activities, while cherbonolide G (2) and cherbonolide H (3) displayed a more active effect than others on the inhibition of elastase release (48.2% ± 6.2%) and superoxide anion generation (44.5% ± 4.6%) at 30 µM, respectively.     

A Comparison Investigation on Antioxidant Activities,Physicochemical Properties and Phytochemical Contents of Kiwifruit Genotypes and Cultivars

The present work was conducted to find the physicochemical properties, chemical components and antioxidant capacity of kiwifruit hydroalcoholic extracts (B-31, HO-1-14, J-242, Bruno, Greenlight, Hayward, Monty, Topstar) grown Yalova, Turkey. Phytochemical tests were performed to determine total phenolic, flavonoid and ascorbic acid. Moreover, the kiwifruit extracts were subjected to evaluate their antioxidant potential using different in vitro assays such as total antioxidant, inhibition of lipid peroxidation, reducing power, metal chelating, free radical, H₂O₂ and superoxide anion scavenging activities at 50–500 μg mL^?1, and also found EC₅₀ and IC₅₀ values. The soluble solid content (SSC), titratable acidity (TA) and pH were analyzed in all the genotypes and cultivars. The highest total phenolic, flavonoid and ascorbic acid content were found in J-242 (89.53 mg GAE/100 g), J-242 (109.13 mg QE/100 g) and HO-1-14 (64.15 mg/100 g), respectively. The linoleic, palmitic, stearic and oleic acid methyl esters were detected in all kiwifruit extracts by GC/MS. Significant differences were found between genotypes and cultivars in the antioxidant tests. The extracts showed high inhibition of lipid peroxidation and compared to standards, significantly (p < 0.05). The GC/MS analyses confirmed quantitative variability in the antioxidant profiles. The SSC, TA and pH of kiwifruit genotypes and cultivars showed a moderate level. The key parameters for the most active kiwifruit included the following: total antioxidant activity for B-31, H₂O₂ scavenging activity for J-242 and metal chelating activity for Topstar. In conclusion, this study exhibited the important role played by the genotypes and cultivars background on the chemical content and antioxidant profiles.     

芒果皮渣多糖提取工艺优化及其抗氧化活性研究

以芒果皮渣为原料,采用热水浸提法,在单因素试验的基础上,通过响应面法优化芒果皮渣多糖的提取工艺,同时分析芒果皮渣多糖的最佳沉淀条件,并利用清除ABTS+·、DPPH·和·OH能力评价其体外抗氧化活性。结果表明,芒果皮渣多糖的最佳提取及醇沉工艺条件为:浸提温度98℃,浸提时间4 h,料液比1∶40(g/mL),在此条件下芒果皮渣多糖提取率为9.29%。芒果皮渣多糖最佳醇沉工艺为:浸提次数3次,浸提液浓缩5倍,4倍体积95%乙醇醇沉6 h。体外抗氧化试验表明,芒果皮渣多糖对ABTS+·、DPPH·和·OH均有一定的清除效果,随着芒果皮渣多糖质量浓度的增加清除能力逐渐增强,当多糖浓度为1.0 mg/mL时,其对ABTS+·、DPPH·和·OH的清除率分别达到42.58%、92.37%和41.59%,此时还原力为1.49。     

Preliminary Study on the Activity of Phycobiliproteins against Botrytis cinerea

Phycobiliproteins (PBPs) are proteins of cyanobacteria and some algae such as rhodophytes. They have antimicrobial, antiviral, antitumor, antioxidative, and anti-inflammatory activity at the human level, but there is a lack of knowledge on their antifungal activity against plant pathogens. We studied the activity of PBPs extracted from Arthrospira platensis and Hydropuntia cornea against Botrytis cinerea, one of the most important worldwide plant-pathogenic fungi. PBPs were characterized by using FT-IR and FT-Raman in order to investigate their structures. Their spectra differed in the relative composition in the amide bands, which were particularly strong in A. platensis. PBP activity was tested on tomato fruits against gray mold disease, fungal growth, and spore germination at different concentrations (0.3, 0.6, 1.2, 2.4, and 4.8 mg/mL). Both PBPs reduced fruit gray mold disease. A linear dose–response relationship was observed for both PBPs against disease incidence and H. cornea against disease severity. Pathogen mycelial growth and spore germination were reduced significantly by both PBPs. In conclusion, PBPs have the potential for being also considered as natural compounds for the control of fungal plant pathogens in sustainable agriculture.
