pH对氟磺胺草醚水解的影响

采用试验分析方法研究了氟磺胺草醚在不同pH缓冲溶液中的水解作用。结果表明,随着溶液pH值的增大,氟磺胺草醚的水解反应逐渐减慢,速率常数K减小,半衰期相应地增大。氟磺胺草醚在pH为5.0、6.0、7.0、8.0、9.0的缓冲液中的水解半衰期分别为105.74、157.41、183.26、215.16、247.40 d。     

西红花真菌性病害与生防菌鉴定研究进展

西红花Crocus sativus为多年生草本植物,具有活血化瘀、凉血解毒、抗癌、抗氧化等多种药用价值。由于无性繁殖及连作障碍,西红花病害日益严重;以真菌性引起的西红花球茎腐烂病害最为常见,造成西红花产量锐减,严重影响产业发展。解决真菌性病害是提高西红花产量与品质的有效途径之一。围绕西红花土壤真菌性病害、西红花内生真菌、西红花真菌病害生防菌的分离与鉴定研究进展等展开综述,分析西红花研究前景。后续研究可以从3个方向展开,一是基于现代宏基因组测序技术挖掘西红花球茎腐烂致病菌和拮抗菌,二是基于合成生物学和发酵工程技术方法实现西红花药效物质的异源高效生物合成,三是创制西红花脱毒新种质,为生产提供可靠的优质种源。本研究能为西红花真菌性病害防治、生物菌肥的开发利用等研究提供参考。表3参89     

Moisture distribution in rice grains used for sake brewing analyzed by magnetic resonance imaging

Water absorption in individual white-core and non-white-core grains of rice varieties used in sake brewing was observed during soaking by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Water was absorbed faster in white-core grains than in non-white-core grains and was pooled in the core. Moisture distributions were compared using the line profiles of nuclear magnetic resonance signal intensities (SI profiles) generated from magnetic resonance images of grains soaked for 2 h. SI profiles of white-core and non-white-core grains overlapped despite slight differences in the central and intermediate regions of the grains. A white-core-like structure with loosely packed starch granules was found to exist in the endosperm of non-white-core grains. SI profiles of grains polished to 70% of the yield weight of brown rice were similar in shape to those of grains polished to 90% of the yield, but their overall moisture content was higher after the removal of the hydrophobic grain periphery. A varietal difference in the thickness of the intermediate region, which may affect fissuring resistance in the polishing process, was detected in SI profiles. Differences in water absorbability between parents and their offspring were also apparent from their SI profiles. MRI enabled the detection of variety-specific water-absorption properties in grains.     

Water penetration into rice grains during soaking observed by gradient echo magnetic resonance imaging

The water penetration into a rice grain during soaking was monitored by three-dimensional gradient echo magnetic resonance imaging, which has the advantage of a short measurement time and a sufficient sensitivity for low-moisture samples. The water penetration route was compared between the milled and brown rice grains of two japonica cultivars. In normal milled rice grains of Koshihikari, water first penetrated the ventral side surface and the embryo attachment site of the endosperm, then migrated along the central line and transverse cracks, and finally diffused to all parts of the endosperm. In milled rice grains of Yamadanishiki with a white core, water quickly infiltrated into the cracks or chalky parts on the dorsiventral line and then diffused to the lateral side. In brown rice grains of both cultivars water penetrated extremely slowly and did not infiltrate directly into transverse cracks or the white core due to inhibition by the pericarp and seed coat. The central part of every grain allowed more water to penetrate. The route, pattern and speed of water penetration were determined by the morphological structure, crack formation and hardness distribution associated with the packing of the starch granules in the grain.     

Histocytological specificities of adrenal cortex in the New World Monkeys, Aotus lemurinus and Saimiri boliviensis

The New World monkey Aotus spp. (night monkeys) are expected for use of valuable experimental animal with the close species of Saimiri spp. (squirrel monkeys). Saimiri is known to show spontaneous hypercortisolemia, although few reports in Aotus. We compared basic states of blood steroid hormones and histological structure of the adrenal glands in two monkeys. Serum cortisol and ACTH levels were statistically lower in Aotus than Saimiri. Conversely, Aotus adrenocortical area showed significant enlargement, especially at the zona fasciculata. Electron microscopic observation at Aotus fasciculata cells revealed notable accumulation of large lipid droplets and irregular shapes of the mitochondrial cristae. These results suggest potential differences in cellular activities for steroidogenesis between Aotus and Saimiri and experimental usefulness in adrenocortical physiology and pathological models.
