独占春种子非共生萌发和低温离体保存

独占春(Cymbidium eburneum Lindley)成熟种子无菌播种诱导原球茎,并以原球茎进行低温离体保存。结果表明:在培养基花宝1号3g/L LH(水解乳蛋白)1g/L BA(细胞分裂素)0.5 mg/L NAA(生长素)0.1 mg/L CM (椰子汁)100 ml/L AC 2 g/L 蔗糖25 g/L中种子萌发出原球茎;原球茎在培养基1/2 MS LH 0.5 g/L BA 0.5 mg/L NAA 0.1mg/L AC 2g/L 蔗糖20g/L中于6℃黑暗条件下连续保存了20个月,成活率达85%,并能在恢复培养基MS BA 3～5 mg/L NAA 0.2 mg/L AC 1g/L CM 100 ml/L 蔗糖25 g/L中进行恢复增殖培养。     

Gulf stream and middle atlantic bight: complex thermal structure as seen from an environmental satellite

High-resolution infrared imagery from the ITOS 1 satellite demonstrates the utility of synoptic sea-surface temperature information. The northern edge of the Gulf Stream, the slope waters, and the shelf waters display complex thermal characteristics with distinct temperature gradients separating these three water masses. This type of information can be very useful for increasing our understanding of many physical phenomena that occur over Earth's oceans.     

Amygdalar and hippocampal theta rhythm synchronization during fear memory retrieval

The amygdalohippocampal circuit plays a pivotal role in Pavlovian fear memory. We simultaneously recorded electrical activity in the lateral amygdala (LA) and the CA1 area of the hippocampus in freely behaving fear-conditioned mice. Patterns of activity were related to fear behavior evoked by conditioned and indifferent sensory stimuli and contexts. Rhythmically synchronized activity at theta frequencies increased between the LA and the CA1 after fear conditioning and became significant during confrontation with conditioned fear stimuli and expression of freezing behavior. Synchronization of theta activities in the amygdalohippocampal network represents a neuronal correlate of conditioned fear, apt to improve neuronal communication during memory retrieval.     

Frequency of Mutations Induced by Radiations in Hexaploid Species of Triticum

The frequency of visible mutations induced by x-rays, phosphorus-32, and sulfur-35 was calculated in six hexaploid Triticum species. The species with spelted ears and winter habit showed a much lower mutation rate than the freethreshing, spring wheats.

赤霉素(GA3)对武汉市露地梅花部分品种花期的影响

1998—2001年，研究了不同时间、不同浓度的赤霉素处理对露地梅花的始花期、盛花期、末花期及观赏期的影响，同时考察了梅花观赏质量(花径、展叶期、落蕾率)的变化，结果表明：2000mg／L的赤霉素处理对梅花花期具有调节作用，作用的方向与处理时间密切相关：10月底至11月处理提前；而1月处理又使始花期、末花期均延迟。赤霉素促使梅花花期提前的同时通常伴随开花量的下降；而在推迟梅花花期的同时开花量增加、且观赏期延长。赤霉素处理极显著地使‘江南朱砂’的花径缩短1．2—5．4mm；‘粉红朱砂’的展叶期提前3—4个月；‘粉红朱砂’出现明显的落蕾效应。研究还探讨了温度作为梅花开花的主导因子对试验研究的影响。     

温度和日长对“安农S-1”育性的影响及其花粉败育的机理

在长沙地区(N28°12′)自然光温条件下,雌雄蕊形成期至花粉母细胞形成期是“安农S-1”感受温度和日长变化,引起育性转变的敏感期。育性受日长和温度共同影响,温度尤为主导因素。育性变化敏感期,可育株与不育株叶片、花药在光合强度、呼吸强度。多种生化成分含量及酶活性上存在着明显的差异。认为:“安农S-1”花粉败育的基本原因,是不适光温条件使植株中正常的基因表达被阻遏,从而导致多种酶活性改变,代谢平衡失调,植株同化能力降低,某些物质分解加速,花粉发育所必需的物质和能量得不到充分供应,从而使花粉不能正常发育。     

兰花育种研究现状及进展

兰花是珍贵的观赏花卉,开展兰花育种研究具有重要的意义。文章主要就兰花资源概况、资源保护繁育以及杂交育种、组织培养、分子标记和基因工程在育种上的应用作了扼要综述,表明,种质资源是兰花育种的基础,需加以保护;种间及属间的远缘杂交仍是兰花育种的主要手段;组织培养、分子标记及基因工程技术可加快育种进程。目前仍需加强野生兰花资源的收集、保存和创新利用工作,为兰花育种奠定良好的基础。
