半夏小块茎的形态发生及人工种子制作

离体培养中，经过小块茎发生途径从半夏叶柄诱导了完整植株。用实体解剖、连续切片和三维结构重组等方法观察分析得出：小块茎顶端的叶原基由于不对称生长逐渐将顶端分生组织复盖，随后叶原基的尖端和两侧生长延缓，生长中心转移到背轴面中央，结果导致叶原基长帽状结构。不同发育程度的雏叶和叶原基总是相互叠在一起顶端分生组织复盖于下面。小块茎枯端形成芽的同时，在顶芽附近分化根。

为了建立甘肃产药用植物半夏的细胞悬浮培养和植株再生体系,通过对其不同外质体筛选、愈伤组织诱导和悬浮培养的愈伤组织类型、激素水平、起始密度、震荡速率等影响因素以及细胞生长状态、生长曲线和pH值变化等指标的研究.结果表明:以叶柄为外质体,选择"松散型"愈伤组织和2×105个/mL的起始培养密度,在附加2,4-D 2.0 mg/L BA 0.5 mg/L NAA0.5 mg/L的1/2 MS培养基上培养,温度(23±2)℃,转速90 rpm,pH值6.0,黑暗培养为最适悬浮培养体系;经检测细胞生长曲线呈"S"型,培养液pH随着细胞的生长先上升后下降,18 d时细胞基数达到最大值;悬浮继代培养后,通过降低或停止震荡转速,在添加BA 0.5 mg/L NAA0.5 mg/L的MS液体和固体培养基上可诱导分化出芽和根,进一步形成完整的植株.     

The wheat germ agglutinin binding sites and development of the mitochondria-rich cells in gills of tilapia (Oreochromis mossambicus)

By labelling with gold-colloid-conjugated wheat germ agglutinin (WGA), the WGA-binding sites were identified in the apical region of certain mitochondria-rich (MR) cells in gills of freshwater-adapted tilapia (Oreochromis mossambicus). Bromo-deoxyuridine (BrdU) injection was used to discern the differentiation of the WGA binding sites during development of MR cells. Double labeling of gill sections of fish 2, 4, 6, and 8 days after a single BrdU injection showed that the BrdU labeled MR cells 2 and 4 days after injection were mostly WGA negative, whereas 6 and 8 days after injection, WGA and BrdU-labeled MR cell increased gradually in number. Furthermore, the ratio of the WGA-positive to total MR-cells was higher in gills of tilapia adapted to low calcium ([Ca] = 0.015 mm) freshwater than in hard freshwater ([Ca] = 1.898 mm). The results indicate that WGA binding site may be a marker expressed late during differentiation of MR cells, and physiologically functional in assisting uptake of calcium when environmental calcium is low. According to their WGA binding and also characteristics their likely function in calcium absorption, the WGA positive MR cells shown in this study are considered to be similar to the cells described by Pisam et al. (1995).     

海洋贝类体液防御机制的研究进展

近几年，随着人们将海洋贝类作为食物的兴趣日益浓厚，科学家们对贝类及其防御机制的研究也越来越深入，对它们在生态、社会、经济、营养等方面的作用以及它们的致病微生物的特性进行了大量研究。双壳贝类由于其滤食习性，使它们体内蓄积了大量细菌，成为人类致病菌的积极携带者。因此，研究贝类与微生物之间的相互作用对维护人类健康有重要意义。     

Variations in Seroprevalence and Host Factors for Bovine Anaplasmosis in Illinois

Hungerford, L.L. and Smith, R.D., 1997. Variations in seroprevalence and host factors for bovine anaplasmosis in Illinois. Veterinary Research Communications, 21 (1), 9-18.The modified card agglutination test (MCAT) was used to detect antibodies to Anaplasma marginale in 4994 samples collected from market cattle through the Brucellosis Eradication Program in Illinois. The MCAT reactor rate in the sample was 6.4%. The statewide prevalence estimate increased to between 7.1% and 10.7% when corrected for sampling distribution and test sensitivity and specificity. While the sample reactor rate measures the proportion of infected cattle moving through the market system and into new herds, consideration of the sampling proportions and test characteristics is important when estimating the overall prevalence. Cows were found to be at decreased risk relative to male cattle in lower-prevalence areas, but the risk was similar in higher-prevalence areas. In both higher- and lower-prevalence areas, the risk for seropositivity increased from 1 year of age onwards, but the rate of increase with age was greater in the higher-prevalence areas. Calves, however, had higher seroprevalence levels than 1-2-year-old animals. The risk was highest for Angus and Angus-Hereford cross cattle, while dairy cattle showed a decreased risk in the whole sample, but not when the analyses were stratified by prevalence level. There was a higher concentration of dairy cattle in areas with lower prevalence levels.

离体培养条件下半夏叶柄形成珠芽过程中内源激素的变化

为了探讨半夏试管珠芽形成的生理生化机制,以半夏无菌叶柄为材料,倒置在MS基本培养基上,对半夏珠芽形成过程中5种内源激素(IAA、GA3、ABA、ZR、JA)的动态变化进行了研究。结果表明:倒置半夏叶柄的珠芽无一例外地出现在叶柄形态学上端;ELISA方法测定显示,半夏叶柄形成珠芽的过程中叶柄上端IAA、ABA、ZR和JA的含量呈上升趋势,GA3在的珠芽形成初期急剧下降。随着珠芽的形成,GA3与其它各激素的平衡关系发生变化,IAA/GA3、ABA/GA3、ZR/GA3和JA/GA3的比值先呈下降趋势,15 d后开始上升;在珠芽快速形成期(10~20 d)IAA/GA3、ABA/GA3和JA/GA3维持在高的水平,其中JA/GA3的比值20 d后又呈上升趋势。
