The establishment of Taraxacum officinale plants in grassland

Factors involved in the establishment of Taraxacum officinale (dandelion) seedlings in grasslands and plant mortality in the first growing season were studied during 2008–2011. The study was conducted at 11 grassland sites that differed in the quantity of seed rain and the intensity of seedling predation by slugs. In April, of each study year, 10 plots open to the sedimentation of naturally dispersed seeds were established at each site, five plots of which were also sown with 250 T. officinale seeds each. The amount of natural seed rain, slug feeding activity and number of plants in each plot were then recorded at monthly intervals. Seed rain and seedling predation accounted for c. 50% of the variation in seedling establishment. Populations of established seedlings then declined through October, at which point they were at 25% of the original abundance on average. The percentage of plants that survived varied among sites and years. The temporal and spatial variation in T. officinale establishment and survival of young plants was enormous, even within a small area. Predation of seedlings by slugs can effectively prevent the establishment of T. officinale in grassland. This only occurred, however, at slug abundances not acceptable under conditions of public access.     

2008-2009年度河北、河南、四川和江苏四省冬小麦区试品系的遗传多样性和抗条锈性分析

探讨2008-2009年度河北、河南、四川、江苏四省参加区试的70个小麦品系的遗传多样性和抗条锈性,以期了解小麦种质资源间的遗传差异,并为小麦品种抗条锈病基因的合理布局提供科学依据。采用亲缘系数（coefficient of parentage, COP）分析2008-2009年度四省的70个供试小麦品系的2 415对组合并进行聚类分析,同时,对这70个品系接种条锈菌混合菌系CYR32、CYR31、CYR33、CYR30和CYR29,进行抗条锈性鉴定。供试的所有品系的COP值的变化范围在0.000 0～0.750 0之间,COP值的总和为24.607 5,其平均值为0.010 2。聚类分析分为6大类,聚为一类的多为同一个骨干亲本培育的品系且它们的抗性相似,说明使用同一骨干亲本抗病性得到了较好的遗传,但使用同一亲本降低了小麦品种间的遗传多样性。增大对亲缘关系较远的品种的应用,有利于增加小麦品种间的遗传多样性,创造出更多的优异种质。小麦条锈病抗性鉴定结果表明,四省的小麦区试品系对条锈病感病和抗病分别占总参试品系的57.14%和40%,其中,四川抗病品系占参试品系的61.55%,总体上看抗条锈性相对较好,其他三省抗条锈性相对较差,抗病品种选育工作亟待加强。     

矿质元素含量与苹果风味品质及耐贮性的关系

对22个苹果品种果实矿质元素含量分析表明,钙、钾含量高,锰、铜含量低的品种果实肉质好,耐贮藏,具有良好的风味品质.钙、钾具有提高果实硬脆度、降低果实贮期的软化和失重、维持良好肉质和风味的作用.钙、钾含量高的品种果实硬脆度高,比重大,果肉致密,细胞间隙率低,贮期软化进度慢,肉质好,耐贮藏.锰、铜含量低的品种果实硬脆度高,含量高的品种果实韧性较强.锌含量对果实的风味、肉质和耐贮性影响较小,优质品种含锌量相对较低.     

不同发育时期板栗叶肉细胞中叶绿体淀粉和质体小球的变化

对板栗在春季折叠的幼叶和平展生长的幼叶、夏季成熟叶和秋季老叶的叶肉细胞中的叶绿体做了透射电镜观察,结果表明,春季折叠的幼叶的叶绿体中不含淀粉和质体小球,平展生长的幼叶含淀粉粒没有质体小球;夏季成熟叶的叶绿体中淀粉最多并出现极少量质体小球;秋季衰老叶的叶绿体中淀粉粒减少直至消失,质体小球数量激增;有的质体小球在叶绿体内被一层膜包围并降解。根据染色特点,可将质体小球分为黑色和灰色2类。淀粉减少及质体小球增多与叶绿体功能衰退相关。

SIRT1 promotes autophagy of pancreatic cancer cells induced by hypoxia via regulating FOXO1/RAB7 signaling pathway

AIM: To investigate the effect of SIRT1 on the autophagy of pancreatic cancer cells under hypoxia condition, and to analyze the underlying mechanism of regulating FOXO1/RAB7 signaling pathway. METHODS: Western blot and immunofluorescence methods were used to determine the expression of SIRT1 in the pancreatic cancer cells. The small interfering RNA targeting SIRT1 and SIRT1 over-expression plasmid were transfected into the pancreatic cancer Panc-1 cells. Confocal microscopy was used to detect the LC3 expression. Western blot was used to analyze the protein levels of LC3, p62 and FOXO1/RAB7 signaling pathway-related molecules. Co-immunoprecipitation was used to detected the protein interaction between SIRT1 and FOXO1. RESULTS: The expression level of SIRT1 in the nucleus of Panc-1 cells was increased under hypoxia condition. Compared with negative control under hypoxia condition, knock-down of SIRT1 expression attenuated the autophagy flux in the pancreatic cancer Panc-1 cells (P<0.05). Over-expression of SIRT1 increased the protein levels of FOXO1 and RAB7. On the contrary, knock-down of SIRT1 expression inhibited the protein levels of FOXO1 and RAB7. The protein interaction between SIRT1 and FOXO1 in the pancreatic cancer cells was observed. CONCLUSION: SIRT1 in pancreatic cancer Panc-1 cells under hypoxia condition is over-expressed in the nucleus. Down-regulation of SIRT1 inhibits autophagy and its mechanism may be related to FOXO1/RAB7 signaling pathway.
