柑橘类果实汁胞的红色现象及其呈色色素

柑橘类果实中不乏汁胞为红色类型者,如红肉葡萄柚(Citrus paradisii Macf.)的粉红色是番茄红素所致,血橙(C.sinensis L.)的血红色来源于花青素,此外,还有红色的红江橙(C.sinensis L.)、橙红色的元红(C.reticulata Blan-co)和紫红色的五布红心柚(C.grandis L.)等,它们因色泽鲜艳而具备特殊的市场潜力,但呈色色素尚未见报道。在符合审美观的同时,红色汁胞品种还具有特殊的营养价值,如类黄酮、类胡萝卜素等色素富集可软化血管、抗癌、抗氧化及消除体内自由基等。综合有关文献,首次将国内外主要红色汁胞柑橘品种依宽皮柑橘、甜橙、柚、葡萄柚及杂柑等分类进行综述,分析可能的呈色色素,阐明导致红色性状产生的两类色素—花青素、类胡萝卜素生物合成途径

Indole-3-acetic acid biosynthesis in <Emphasis Type="Italic">Aciculosporium take</Emphasis>, a causal agent of witches' broom of bamboo

 Aciculosporium take (Ascomycota; Clavicipitaceae) is a causal agent of witches' broom of bamboo plants. The symptoms of this disease are believed to be induced by plant hormones, particularly auxins. Indole-3-acetic acid (IAA) was identified in cultures of this fungus in an l-tryptophan-supplemented liquid medium. IAA production was confirmed on 30 isolates of A. take from various hosts and locations at levels up to 1 mg/l. The biosynthetic pathway of IAA in A. take culture was examined by analyzing intermediate products and by feeding experiments. The results showed that the indole-3-pyruvic acid pathway (l-tryptophan → indole-3-pyruvic acid → indole acetaldehyde → IAA) was the dominant pathway in A. take.

Inconspicuous restraint of rice seedling growth by root-infecting fungi in soil of a rice paddy field

 Rice seedling growth, estimated by plant height and root development and discoloration, was better in pasteurized soil than in unpasteurized soil obtained from a flooded rice field. Rice seedlings also grew better in sterilized soil modified by adding roots harvested from the pasteurized soil than in soil modified by adding roots harvested from the unpasteurized soil. The results demonstrate that seedling growth in the rice field soil was inhibited by soil microorganisms, even though no typical symptoms such as seedling blight or damping-off appeared. Pythium aristosporum is suggested to be involved in the inhibition. Thus, it appears that inconspicuous restraint of rice seedling growth could occur in soils of rice paddy fields.

Ichitani, former professor at Osaka Prefectural University, for providing an isolate of Pythium aristosporum for comparison, and Mr. Mitsuaki Sato of Akita Prefectural College of Agriculture for technical assistance.     

刺梨及其近缘种PCR实验体系的建立与优化

以刺梨及其近缘种月季为试材,进行了RAPD-PCR实验参数的确立和优化试验。结果表明,刺梨及月季25μL反应体系的最优组成为2.5μL10×反应缓冲液,2mmol/LMg2+,0.2mmol/LdNTP,1.6mg/L模板DNA,0.4μmol/L随机引物和1.2UTaqDNA多聚酶。经PCR扩增验证,此反应体系亦适宜于刺梨的部分近缘种,可有效用于RAPD分析;通过将退火温度提高至50℃或采用“Touchdown”扩增程序,并在50μL反应体系中适当增加特异引物对浓度(1.0μmol/L),模板DNA(4.0mg/L)和TaqDNA多聚酶(3.0U/管)的使用量,建立起适合于刺梨特异DNA片段检测及回收的特异PCR扩增实验体系,为刺梨的分子克隆奠定了技术基础。

我国椪柑品质现状及主要产区的果实品质比较

 2001 和2002 年对来自全国9 个省(市) 主要产区的67 份椪柑品质进行了分析。结果表明, 我国椪柑大(180.60 g ±9.98 g) 、中(151.24 g ±7.48 g) 、小(122.51 g ±141.1 g) 类型果实分别为42.9 %,44.9 %和12.2 %; 分别有6.1 %和44.9 %的　柑果皮颜色呈现黄绿或偏黄色和黄色; 可溶性固形物平均含量为12.5 %±1.1 %, 其中仅有四川荣县、福建平和和湖北松滋等部分地区　柑可溶性固形物含量低于11.5 %;高酸(0.95 % ±0.10 %) 、中酸(0.69 % ±0.07 %) 和低酸(0.49 % ±0.07 %) 类型的果实比例分别为2.4 %、34.7 %和42.9 %。通过比较各椪柑主产区的主要品质指标发现, 它们的果皮色泽(a/ b 比值) 、可溶性固形物含量和维生素C 含量没有明显差异; 闽中南地区的果实明显重于闽北、浙江(衢州、丽水) 和湘西鄂西地区的果实, 而与川西南地区的差异不明显; 闽中南地区和川西南地区的酸含量差异不明显, 但都明显低于另两个地区; 另外, 川西南地的区固酸比明显高于其他3 个地区, 而可食率明显低于其他3 个地区。     

检测砂梨潜隐病毒的IC-RT-PCR和TC-RT-PCR的研究

以砂梨为试材,在生物学和血清学检测的基础上,采用免疫捕作RT-PCR穴IC-RT-PCR雪和试管捕作RT-PCR穴TC-RT-PCR雪技术,对苹果褪绿叶斑病毒(Applechloroticleafspotvirus,ACLSV)和苹果茎沟病毒(Applestemgroovingvirus,ASGV)进行了检测分析。结果表明,TC/IC-RT-PCR均能有效检测梨粗提液中的ACLSV和ASGV,分别获得了大小约358bp和499bp的目标扩增片段;但IC-RT-PCR检测ACLSV的效果受到病毒分离株间血清学关系影响。与传统的RT-PCR相比,IC/TC-RT-PCR不仅灵敏度更高,而且不需提取总RNA,可以简化操作程序和减少苯酚、氯仿类有机试剂对人体的伤害和对环境的污染,适合于大量梨样品的病毒快速灵敏检测。     

Functional heterogeneity in resources within landscapes and herbivore population dynamics

Large mammalian herbivores are notorious for their propensity towards population irruptions and crashes, yet many herbivore populations remain relatively stable. I explore how resource heterogeneity within landscapes dampens population instability, using a metaphysiological modelling approach considering patch state distributions. Resource heterogeneity is functionally stabilizing through spreading consumption away from preferred resources before these become critically depleted. Lower-quality resources act as a buffer against starvation during critical periods of the seasonal cycle. Enriching resource quality is destabilizing, even if patch diversity is maintained, because food quantity then becomes the limitation. The potential consequences of landscape fragmentation are explored using the Serengeti ecosystem, characterised by broadscale resource gradients, as a hypothetical example. Further insights provided by the model are illustrated with specific examples concerning the effects of patch scales and waterpoint distribution. A metaphysiological modelling approach enables the basic consequences of landscape heterogeneity to be distinguished from further effects that may arise from specific patch scales and configurations, without the distracting detail of spatially explicit models.
