杨树游离氨基酸组成和含量与青杨天牛危害的相关分析

为了研究不同品系杨树上青杨天牛(Saperda populnea)的危害与树木自然状态下树木体内营养性物质影响昆虫生长发育的游离氨基酸组成和含量之间的相关性,利用HPLC柱前AccQ.Tag衍生法,分析了迎春5号、1344、银中杨、小黑14和施×斯的韧皮部和木质部中游离氨基酸的组成及含量。在各杨树品系韧皮部中共检测出14种游离氨基酸:丙氨酸、精氨酸、天门冬氨酸、甘氨酸、组氨酸、异亮氨酸、亮氨酸、赖氨酸、蛋氨酸、苯丙氨酸、脯氨酸、苏氨酸、色氨酸、缬氨酸;木质部与韧皮部的游离氨基酸种类相近,但木质部缺少苏氨酸。各种杨树品系韧皮部中精氨酸、赖氨酸与被害率相关性较强;杨树木质部中精氨酸、组氨酸与被害率相关性较强。不同杨树品系的健康与被害的韧皮部和木质部在不同种游离氨基酸之间的差异性都很显著。     

植物细胞质雄性不育育性恢复基因研究进展

植物杂种优势在生产上已被广泛应用,对提高产量和改善品质有重要意义,而生产杂交种的重要途径是细胞质不育及其恢复系统。在杂交品种选育过程中,优良恢复系选育至关重要。近年来植物细胞质雄性不育性恢复的分子机理一直是分子生物学的研究热点。本文综述了目前恢复基因研究的主要进展,讨论了恢复基因的遗传与定位。认为细胞质雄性不育恢复基因一般为单基因或少数显性效应主效基因,且恢复基因间作用方式多样化。目前,玉米Rf2基因、矮牵牛Rf基因、水稻Rf-1基因、萝卜Rfo基因都已被克隆。在这些恢复基因的克隆与分离基础上,本文讨论了恢复基因的结构特征及分子机理,认为恢复基因的可能分子机理,一种是恢复基因抑制细胞质雄性不育（CMS）特异ORF的表达,另一种是恢复基因补偿线粒体功能的缺陷。本文最后对恢复基因在植物分子育种上的应用前景提出了看法。     

高效诱导植物RNA沉默的反向重复构件的设计

RNA沉默(RNA silencing)是真核生物体内普遍保守的、发生在RNA水平的、基于核酸序列同源性相互作用的一种对基因表达的调控机制.通过设计反向重复构建在植物体内产生双链RNA来诱导RNA沉默的方法是一条非常有效的植物抗病毒和功能基因组研究途径.本研究通过两个病毒基因的反向重复构建发展了两种通过小型中间载体设计反向重复构建的方法.其共同特点是构建简易,操作方便,可为通过设计反向重复构建实现植物体内高效持久的RNA沉默提供方法上的参考,促进RNA沉默技术更加广泛深入地应用于植物抗病毒基因工程研究和植物功能基因组研究.

栽培条件对凤尾竹形态的影响

不同栽培方式及不同光照条件对凤尾竹形态影响的研究表明,地栽、光明时间短,凤尾竹植株高大,而盆栽、光照时间长则植株矮小。选择光照适当、通风的地方进行地栽可提高观赏价值。盆栽凤尾竹在不同光照条件下可产生不同视觉效果,具有很强烈的观赏性。     

Changes of serum vascular endothelial growth factor levels in a rat model of acute myocardial infarction

AIM and METHODS: To study the changes of serum vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) levels in a rat model of acute myocardial infarction (MI) and its significance. Eighty-eight male Sprague-Dawley rats were used in this study. MI was produced by left coronary arterial ligation in 80 animals, and eight rats undergoing thoracotomy but not coronary ligation served as controls (sham).Blood samples were drawn from the right atrium before (sham animals) and 1, 3, 6, 12, 24 hours and 2, 3, 5, 7, 14 days after MI(n=8, respectively). Serum VEGF concentrations were measured by a sensitive enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay with a rabbit polyclonal antibody specific for VEGF. RESULTS: In 8 sham animals, the concentration of serum VEGF was (66.99±17.83) pg/mL. Six hours after MI, the level of serum VEGF significantly increased to (125.68±28.07)pg/mL (P＜0.01 vs sham control), and reached a peak (240.61±70.63 pg/mL, P＜0.01 vs sham control) at 24 hours after ligation and then decreased gradually over the remaining 2 weeks. But the level remained significantly elevated for 14 days (107.64±30.31 pg/mL, P＜0.01 vs sham control).CONCLUSION: Serum VEGF levels markedly and permanently increase in the rat model of acute MI may play an important role in the angiogenesis associated with MI     

Progress in roles of MNX1 antisense RNA 1 in malignant tumor

MNX1 antisense RNA 1 （MNX1-AS1） is a newly discovered long non-coding RNA （lncRNA）, which is highly dysregulated in various carcinomas and its expression level is closely related to the overall survival and prognosis of patients. MNX1-AS1 regulates the occurrence and development of carcinomas by endogenous competitive adsorption of miRNA, regulating cell cycle, inducing epithelial mesenchymal transformation and activating multiple signaling pathways. The in-depth study of the carcinogenesis of MNX1-AS1 is useful for the early diagnosis, targeted therapy and prognostic assessment of relevant carcinomas. This article reviews the roles of MNX1-AS1 in malignant tumor.     

DC polarography of cephradine and its application to capsules.

A polarographic method has been developed for the quantitative analysis of cephradine and its dosage forms. Direct determinations on capsules are carried out; excipients and coloring matter do not interfere in the determination. The electroactive product is formed by acidic hydrolysis with 5.0N HCl and heating at 80 degrees C for 60 min. Two polarographic waves are obtained: I = -0.46 V and II = -0.78 v vs. SCE. Both reduction waves are diffusion controlled. Wave I is preferred for analytical purposes. The precise chemical identity of the electroactive product has not been determined, but UV spectral data and the TLC Rf value are reported. A linear relation is established for levels of cephradine between 10(-2) and 10(-5)M in 5.0N HCl.     

Confirmation of nitrogen fixation in two tropical grasses by 15N2 incorporation

Intact soil cores containing plants of Paspalum notatum or Digitaria decumbens were selected with the acetylene reduction method, and then exposed to ¹⁵N₁₅ to confirm nitrogen fixation in tropical grass-bacteria associations. In a preliminary experiment with P. notatum¹⁵N₂ incorporation was slow but progressive during 24 h in roots but translocation to rhizomes and leaves ceased after 17h. With improved assay chambers, enrichments of 0.151 and 0.563 ¹⁵N atom % excess were obtained in roots of D. decumbens cv transvala and P. notatum systems respectively, after 3 days. Enrichments in rhizomes were similar to those of roots; however in the leaves only 8% of root enrichment was observed. The addition of sucrose to the soil doubled N₂-fixation in roots in both grass species studied, but did not result in increased incorporation into the leaves of P. notatum.
