Plant distributions are thought to be controlled by climate at large scales, and by non-climatic factors including soil conditions, topography and biotic interactions at smaller scales. However, not all plant distributions are explained by the current environment. Lags between current plant distributions and suitable environment for them are suggested to exist, which is often called empty habitat. To identify the existence and cause of lags between current climate and the distribution of Tsuga diversifolia, climatic conditions for the species distribution were clarified and potential habitats under current and the last glacial maximum (LGM; 21 ka) climates have been projected. The relationships between T. diversifolia distribution and climatic variables were explored using a classification tree model and a generalized additive model based on high-resolution (ca. 1 km) climatic data and a nationwide distribution database. The models were highly accurate. We revealed that T. diversifolia requires high summer precipitation even in humid Japanese environments. Areas with cool and wet summers were classified as potential habitat. Empty habitat for the focal species was identified in Hokkaido. Meanwhile, no potential habitat was projected in Hokkaido under the LGM. Additional experiments that varied temperature and summer precipitation during the LGM showed that the potential habitat was projected in Hokkaido irrespective of temperature decrease if summer precipitation increased nearly equal to the current climate. These results suggest that T. diversifolia vanished from Hokkaido, where fossil evidence indicated its occurrence until the late Neogene, during the glacial periods of the Pleistocene because of increased summer dryness. 相似文献

In this study, we examined the existence and structure of areolae and the
steroidogenesis of areolar trophoblast cells in the Antarctic minke whale placenta
morphologically and immunohistochemically. Placentas were collected from the 15th, 16th
and 18th Japanese Whale Research Program under Special Permit in the Antarctic (JARPA) and
1st JARPA II organized by the Institute of Cetacean Research in Tokyo, Japan. The opening
and cavity of fetal areolae formed by taller columnar trophoblast cells (areolar
trophoblast cells) with long microvilli and a bright cytoplasm, as compared with the
trophoblast cells of the chorionic villi interdigitating with the endometrial crypts, were
recognized in observations of serial sections. The opening of the areolar cavity was
hidden by chorionic villi with areolar trophoblast cells. Furthermore, a closed pouch-like
structure lined by tall columnar cells similar to areolar trophoblast cells within the
stroma of chorionic villi was noticed and continued to the areolar cavity, with the
opening seen on serial sections. In a surface investigation of the chorion and endometrium
by SEM, maternal (endometrial) areolae irregularly surrounded by endometrial folds were
obvious. Moreover, we distinguished areolar trophoblast cells with long microvilli
attached with many blebs from trophoblast cells. In our immunohistochemical observations,
a steroidogenic enzyme, cytochrome P450 side chain cleavage enzyme (P450scc), was detected
with strong immunoreactivity in trophoblast cells. However, areolar trophoblast cells
showed weak or no immunoreactivity for P450scc. 相似文献

The effect of microbial transglutaminase (MTG) treatment on the glass transition temperature (T(g)) of two fractions which were isolated from a soy protein sample was studied. The T(g) of each fraction measured by differential scanning calorimetry was lowered by the MTG treatment, which generated cross-links in the samples, and this result agreed with the result of dynamic mechanical analysis. From the (1)H NMR measurement, the line width of the (1)H signal of the MTG-treated sample was observed to be greater than that of the MTG-nontreated sample at similar water content, which implied that there was relatively more immobilized water in the MTG-treated sample. The MTG treatment seemed to cause the increment in immobilized water, which might affect the T(g) of the soy protein sample. 相似文献

The element contents in the compartments of root and leaf cells of soybean and cucumber plants grown for 8 d in a nutrient solution containing 50 mM NaCl, 25 mM CaCl2 or 50 mM NaCl+4.75 mM CaSO4 were examined by X-ray microanalysis of freeze-substituted dry sections. Sodium accumulated in the vacuoles rather than in the cytoplasm and apoplastic space in the root cells of the soybean plants, leading to the difficulty in the transport of Na to leaves in soybean. Salt injury of soybean is considered to be caused by the accumulation of Cl at high concentrations in all the compartments of root and leaf cells. In contrast, the accumulation of Na in the cytoplasm of the root and leaf cells might disturb the metabolism and lead to the occurrence of salt toxicity in cucumber plants, which are tolerant to Cl due to the stimulation of Cl accumulation in vacuoles when the Ca concentration was high in nutrient media. 相似文献

The geographical variation of the gray-bellied squirrel (Callosciurus caniceps) was examined using osteometry of skull in Southeast Asia. From the principal component analysis (PCA), the plots of the northern localities from Nan to Kanchanaburi and those of the southern localities from Narathiwat to Kuala Lumpur in male were completely separated. In female, the plots of the locality from Uttradit to Kanchanaburi and those of the locality from Pattani to Negri Sembilan were completely separated. We called these northern localities and southern localities which are distinguished by the PCA as N group and S group. The size and shape of the skulls of these squirrels indicated the differences between N group and S group from t-test and U-test. These results may be influenced by the two transitions of the phytogeography around the southernmost locality in N group and the northernmost locality in S group in the peninsular Thailand and Malay Peninsula. Localities which are located between N and S groups were called the Middle (M) group. From the PCA among N, S groups and each locality of M group, the plots of localities such as Prachuap Khiri Khan, Chumphon, Krabi, Nakhon Si Thammarat and Trang in both sexes of M group could not be separated from those of N and S groups. We suggest that the sympatric distribution of N and S groups and the hybrid of N and S populations may be seen in these localities of M group. 相似文献

Telomeres are specialized chromatin structures that protect chromosomal ends. Protection of telomeres 1 (Pot1) binds to the telomeric G-rich overhang, thereby protecting telomeres and regulating telomerase. Mammalian POT1 and TPP1 interact and constitute part of the six-protein shelterin complex. Here we report that Tpz1, the TPP1 homolog in fission yeast, forms a complex with Pot1. Tpz1 binds to Ccq1 and the previously undiscovered protein Poz1 (Pot1-associated in Schizosaccharomyces pombe), which protect telomeres redundantly and regulate telomerase in positive and negative manners, respectively. Thus, the Pot1-Tpz1 complex accomplishes its functions by recruiting effector molecules Ccq1 and Poz1. Moreover, Poz1 bridges Pot1-Tpz1 and Taz1-Rap1, thereby connecting the single-stranded and double-stranded telomeric DNA regions. Such molecular architectures are similar to those of mammalian shelterin, indicating that the overall DNA-protein architecture is conserved across evolution. 相似文献

Transglutaminase (epsilon-glutaminyl-peptide:amine gamma-glutaminyl-transferase, EC 2.3.2.13) (TGase) is an enzyme that catalyzes acyl transfer reactions between primary amines and Gln residues in proteins and peptides. The substrate specificity of TGase for primary amines was investigated to incorporate various functional groups into proteins and peptides. In this study, microbial transglutaminase and guinea pig liver transglutaminase were used. For the primary amines to be incorporated into benzyloxycarbonyl-L-Gln-Gly (Z-Gln-Gly), they were required to have more than four carbon chains without side chains between the functional groups. These results suggest that with appropriate primary amines as spacers, various functional groups, carboxyl groups, phosphate groups, saccharides, and so on, can be incorporated into proteins by using TGase. 相似文献

The purpose of this study is to quantify the rice harvest losses in China and to evaluate the impacts of machinery and harvest outsourcing services on these losses, given the background of high-speed mechanization and outsourcing services. Data were collected from a national survey conducted in 2016 by the research team in conjunction with the Research Center for the Rural Economy of the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs of China. A non-parametric method was used to test whether combine harvesting and outsourcing services could significantly reduce harvest losses. Next, quantile regression was used to estimate the real effects of machinery and outsourcing services on harvest losses. The analysis yielded four main study outcomes. First, the harvest loss rate of rice in China was 3.65%. Second, mechanical reaping and winnowing caused greater losses than manual methods, while the opposite was true of field transportation. Third, combine harvesting increased the losses. Fourth, the effects of an outsourcing service on losses differed among the different harvesting methods. Outsourcing services increased losses in segmented harvesting but they reduced losses in combine harvesting. 相似文献
