强闪光抑制棉花叶片光系统Ⅱ活性和热耗散

除持续强光导致光合作用效率降低外,强闪光也能够影响光合功能,但规律和机制尚不清楚。为研究强闪光对喜光植物棉花叶片光合功能的影响,选用陆地棉(Gossypium hirsutum L.)品种新陆早45号为材料,于强闪光处理(20,000μmol m–2 s–1, 300 ms,间隔10 s,处理时间持续30 min)前后分别测定叶绿素荧光、P700和气体交换。结果表明,强闪光处理后不仅有活性的PSI (光系统I)反应中心含量下降,同时PSⅡ (光系统Ⅱ)电子传递活性也受到限制。与对照相比,强闪光处理后PSI的ΦND (PSI供体侧限制引起的非光化学量子产量)下降,ΦNA (PSI受体侧限制引起的非光化学量子产量)增加,暗示强闪光能够抑制PSI受体侧电子传递活性。强闪光处理不仅使PSⅡ的实际量子产量明显下降,而且非光化学猝灭和ΦNPQ (PSⅡ调节性能量耗散的量子产量)也降低;但是,ΦNO (PSⅡ非调节性能量耗散的量子产量)明显增加,表明强闪光导致热耗散降低和PSⅡ失活。此外,强闪光处理后光合速率和气孔导度均降低,但细胞间隙CO2浓度增加,证明强闪光处理后同化能力的降低不是气孔限制导致的。因此,本研究认为强闪光处理不仅抑制PSI活性,而且导致PSⅡ失活和可调节性热耗散下降;光合电子传递活性的下降可能是强闪光下光合速率降低的重要原因。     

花䱻卵母细胞发育的组织学和超微结构观察

2015年7月至2017年10月在河南省驻马店宿鸭湖水库采集花?(Hemibarbus maculatus Bleeker)雌鱼样本190尾,体长7.12～32.21 cm,体重10.55～330.22 g,采用组织学和扫描电子显微镜技术观察了花?卵母细胞发育各时期的特征。结果表明,花?卵母细胞发育可分为5个时相,第I时相卵母细胞处于卵原细胞增殖阶段;第Ⅱ时相卵母细胞处于初级生长阶段,出现滤泡膜;第Ⅲ时相卵母细胞出现皮质液泡,细胞质膜之间形成放射带;第Ⅳ时相卵母细胞处于大生长后期,卵黄颗粒增多。电镜下观察发现放射带表面形成微孔状结构,核仁外排,可能与卵母细胞内营养物质积累有关;第Ⅴ时相卵母细胞中细胞核消失,卵母细胞发育为成熟卵子,与卵膜脱离,准备排卵。繁殖季节,花?卵巢成熟系数达到13.78%～17.04%。研究结果可为花?人工繁殖和育种工作提供参考。     

Disulphide structure of high-molecular-weight (HMW-) gliadins as affected by terminators

This study aimed at elucidating SS-bonds of HMW-gliadins (HGL) from wheat with the focus on terminators of glutenin polymerisation. HGL from wheat flour extracts non-treated or treated with the S-alkylation reagent N-ethylmaleinimide (NEMI) were compared. HGL from wheat flour Akteur were isolated, hydrolysed with thermolysin and the resulting peptides pre-separated by gel permeation chromatography and analysed by liquid chromatography/mass-spectrometry using alternating electron transfer dissociation/collision-induced dissociation. Altogether, 22 and 28 SS-peptides from samples without and with NEMI treatment, respectively, were identified. Twenty-six peptides included standard SS-bonds of α- and γ-gliadins, high-molecular-weight and low-molecular-weight glutenin subunits. Eleven SS-bonds were identified for the first time. Fifteen peptides unique to HGL contained cysteine residues from gliadins with an odd number of cysteines (ω5-, α- and γ-gliadins). Thus, gliadins with an odd number of cysteines, glutathione and cysteine had acted as terminators of glutenin polymerisation. Decisive differences between samples without and with NEMI treatment were not obvious showing that the termination of polymerisation was already completed in the flour. The two HGL samples, however, were different in the majority of ten peptides that included disulphide-linked low-molecular-weight (LMW) thiols such as glutathione and cysteine with the former being enriched in the non-treated HGL-sample.     

提取方法对库尔勒香梨果实表皮蜡质提取效果的影响

以库尔勒香梨为试材，三氯甲烷和正己烷为提取剂，采用常温法、加热法和常温加热组合法提取香梨果实表皮蜡质，探讨香梨果皮蜡质的提取方法，为研究香梨果皮蜡质结构及成分提供基础。结果表明：以三氯甲烷为提取剂的效果明显优于正己烷，采取常温结合加热法提取表皮蜡质的含量最高，常温法提取的蜡质含量最低。扫描电镜观察结果表明：采用常温加热结合法，以三氯甲烷作溶剂可充分提取香梨表皮蜡质，而正己烷提取果实表皮呈不明显网状结构，仍有晶体残留；采用加热法，以三氯甲烷提取香梨果实表皮蜡质后，表皮蜡质有小部分残留，而正己烷提取后残留晶体较三氯甲烷提取后多，有不规则的小粒状晶体残存；用常温法则两种溶剂均不能将香梨表皮蜡质提取干净。综合提取蜡质含量和扫描电镜分析的结果得出，以三氯甲烷为溶剂、采用常温加热结合法是有效且易行的提取库尔勒香梨表皮蜡质的方法。

60Co-γ射线和电子束辐照灭菌对葛根提取物抗氧化活性及指纹图谱的影响

为评价⁶⁰Co-γ射线和电子束辐照灭菌对葛根提取物品质的影响效应及其差异性,采用不同剂量的⁶⁰Co-γ射线(0、2.8、5.7、8.3、10.6 kGy)和电子束(0、2.4、5.1、7.7、10.3 kGy)辐照处理葛根提取物,研究辐照对其微生物总数、抗氧化活性及指纹图谱的影响。结果表明,⁶⁰Co-γ射线和电子束辐照均能有效降低葛根提取物中需氧菌总数、霉菌和酵母菌总数,随着吸收剂量增大,抑制作用增强。⁶⁰Co-γ射线和电子束辐照吸收剂量分别为5.7 kGy和5.1 kGy时,葛根提取物均达到《中国药典》所规定的微生物限度标准(需氧菌总数为10³ CFU·g^-1、霉菌和酵母菌总数为10² CFU·g^-1);吸收剂量分别为5.7 kGy和7.7 kGy时,需氧菌总数、霉菌和酵母菌总数均降至10 CFU·g^-1以下。此外,大肠埃希氏菌(Escherichia coli)与沙门氏菌(Salmonella)均未检出。2种辐照方式均对葛根提取物的DPPH自由基(DPPH·)清除率、羟自由基(·OH)清除率以及总还原能力无显著影响(P>0.05)。不同剂量⁶⁰Co-γ射线和电子束辐照处理葛根提取物特征峰的相似度达到1.0,且相对保留时间的相对标准差(RSD)均小于0.5%,表明2种辐照方式对葛根提取物指纹图谱均无显著影响(P>0.05)。综上所述,⁶⁰Co-γ射线和电子束辐照对葛根提取物微生物具有较强的抑制作用,2种辐照方式均不会对葛根提取物的抗氧化活性及指纹图谱产生显著影响,不影响葛根提取物的有效性及质量稳定性。该研究为2种辐照技术,特别是电子束辐照在葛根药材、饮片及其中成药制剂灭菌中的合理应用提供了科学参考。     

藏东南18种杜鹃属植物花粉形态的比较

利用电子显微镜，对藏东南18种杜鹃属植物花粉的形态特征进行观察与分析，以期为分类鉴定提供孢粉学依据。18种杜鹃属植物分属于杜鹃亚属、常绿杜鹃亚属、糙叶杜鹃亚属。结果表明，供试花粉均为四合体花粉，四合体直径以大萼杜鹃最大，林芝杜鹃最小。单粒花粉球形或近球形，为3孔沟，黄杯杜鹃萌发孔的长宽值最高，为17.38 μm×3.32 μm，而林芝杜鹃萌发孔的长宽值最低。花粉外壁由大小、形状不一的颗粒组成，其中黄毛雪山杜鹃和白毛杜鹃的颗粒形状较为特殊，为长颗粒状。综合认为，花粉形态特征不宜作为分类鉴定的主要依据，但仍具有积极的参考价值。     

Quantifying key model parameters for wheat leaf gas exchange under different environmental conditions

The maximum carboxylation rate of Rubisco(V_(cmax)) and maximum rate of electron transport(J_(max)) for the biochemical photosynthetic model, and the slope(m) of the Ball-Berry stomatal conductance model influence gas exchange estimates between plants and the atmosphere. However, there is limited data on the variation of these three parameters for annual crops under different environmental conditions. Gas exchange measurements of light and CO_2 response curves on leaves of winter wheat and spring wheat were conducted during the wheat growing season under different environmental conditions. There were no significant differences for V_(cmax), J_(max) or m between the two wheat types. The seasonal variation of V_(cmax), J_(max) and m for spring wheat was not pronounced, except a rapid decrease for V_(cmax) and J_(max) at the end of growing season. V_(cmax) and J_(max) show no significant changes during soil drying until light saturated stomatal conductance(gssat) was smaller than 0.15 mol m~(–2) s~(–1). Meanwhile, there was a significant difference in m during two different water supply conditions separated by gssat at 0.15 mol m~(–2) s~(–1). Furthermore, the misestimation of V_(cmax) and J_(max) had great impacts on the net photosynthesis rate simulation, whereas, the underestimation of m resulted in underestimated stomatal conductance and transpiration rate and an overestimation of water use efficiency. Our work demonstrates that the impact of severe environmental conditions and specific growing stages on the variation of key model parameters should be taken into account for simulating gas exchange between plants and the atmosphere. Meanwhile, modification of m and V_(cmax)(and J_(max)) successively based on water stress severity might be adopted to simulate gas exchange between plants and the atmosphere under drought.
