大豆品种香豆雌酚含量的分析

香豆雌酚是大豆生长过程中自然产生的化学物质,被认为可以治疗和预防一些人类依赖激素的疾病。为分析大豆品种中香豆雌酚含量,笔者利用高效液相色谱技术对来自中国、美国和日本的46个大豆品种香豆雌酚的含量进行测定分析。结果表明,不同品种中香豆雌酚的含量存在着较大差异,平均含量为0.587μg/g,其变幅在0.123~1.290μg/g之间。香豆雌酚含量的品种差异,为高含量资源的筛选及品种的选育提供依据。     

Production of chitinolytic enzymes with Trichoderma longibrachiatum IMI 92027 in solid substrate fermentation

Thirty Trichoderma strains representing 15 species within the genus have been screened for extracellular production of chitinolytic enzymes in solid substrate fermentation (SSF). T.longibrachiatum IMI 92027 (=ATCC 36838) gave the highest yield (5.0 IU/g dry matter of substrate) after 3 days of fermentation on wheat bran-crude chitin (9:1 mixture) medium. The optimum moisture content (66.7%), chitin content (20%), initial pH of the medium (2-5) and time course (5 d) of SSF were determ…     

Production of chitinases with Trichoderma harzianun isolates using solid substrate fermentation

Over forty Trichoderma harzianum isolates have been screened in solid substrate fermentation (SSF)for chitinase production. Strains were isolated from Asian soil and tree bark samples. Identification was performed in Canada and Austria by classical and molecular taxonomical methods.……     

Formation of secondary organic aerosols through photooxidation of isoprene

Detailed organic analysis of natural aerosols from the Amazonian rain forest showed considerable quantities of previously unobserved polar organic compounds, which were identified as a mixture of two diastereoisomeric 2-methyltetrols: 2-methylthreitol and 2-methylerythritol. These polyols, which have the isoprene skeleton, can be explained by OH radical-initiated photooxidation of isoprene. They have low vapor pressure, allowing them to condense onto preexisting particles. It is estimated that photooxidation of isoprene results in an annual global production of about 2 teragrams of the polyols, a substantial fraction of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change estimate of between 8 and 40 teragrams per year of secondary organic aerosol from biogenic sources.     

The arbuscular mycorrhizal host status of plants can not be linked with the Striga seed-germination-activity of plant root exudates

Journal of Plant Diseases and Protection - Root exudates from sorghum, a Striga and arbuscular mycorrhizal fungal (AMF) host plant, and a number of Striga non-host plants which are AM host or AM...
