Mg对‘黑美人’西瓜叶片C、N代谢的影响

通过砂培试验研究了0(CK)、24、48、96、192 mg·L-1Mg2+对‘黑美人’西瓜生育期叶片C、N代谢的影响。结果表明,Mg2+影响西瓜的整个生长发育过程,且随着浓度的提高,西瓜叶片叶绿素、类胡萝卜素、可溶性糖、可溶性蛋白含量和硝酸还原酶活性呈先升高后降低趋势,48 mg·L-1Mg2+处理下各指标达到同期的最大值。该处理下西瓜叶片叶绿素、类胡萝卜素、可溶性糖、可溶性蛋白含量和硝酸还原酶活性均为:伸蔓期盛花期膨瓜期,表明西瓜生长的适合Mg2+浓度为48mg·L-1。膨瓜期是西瓜缺Mg的敏感期,该期适当增施Mg肥可以减轻缺Mg对西瓜叶片C、N代谢的影响。     

杉木老龄林群落的种-多度关系研究

以杉木老龄林群落为研究对象,结合对数级数和对数正态分布模型,建立3 600 m2的大样地分析杉木老龄林群落的种-多度关系。结果表明:样方的平均物种数和个体数分别为6.86种和35.75株,各样方的物种数及个体数存在极显著正相关关系,说明杉木老龄林群落中生境空间对物种个体的承载能力,还未限制其物种数量。个体数-种序(p>0.05)和频度-种序(p>0.05)的分布曲线均符合对数级数分布;对数正态分布模型则能够较好拟合个体数-种序(p>0.05)的分布曲线,但频度-种序(p<0.05)的分布曲线则不适合用该模型来解释。随着尺度的增加,物种数和个体数的变异系数、二者间的相关性及物种数的方差逐步下降,个体数的方差却呈上升的趋势。     

铝胁迫下荞麦萌发特性分析及评价

以40份荞麦种质为对象,在A13+浓度为0.01,0.10mol/L和0.50 mol/L下开展芽期耐铝性研究,通过对发芽率、发芽指数、胚根长度和胚芽长度指标的测定和分析,对其耐铝性进行综合评价.结果表明,低浓度(0.01 mol/L) A13+胁迫可以提高部分荞麦种质的发芽率、发芽指数和胚芽长度,但严重抑制胚根发育;高浓度(＞0.1 mol/L) Al3+胁迫对荞麦种质的萌发特性具有很强的抑制作用.从40份荞麦种质材料中筛选出强耐铝材料1份,评价结果表明,多数材料耐铝性中等.     

Effects of bFGF on brain edema,nerve function injury and autophagy related protein in rats with traumatic brain injury

AIM:To study the effects of basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF) on brain edema, nerve function damage and autophagy related proteins in rats with head injury. METHODS:The rat model of craniocerebral injury (CI) was constructed. The rats were divided into control group, CI group, and low-, middle-and high-dose bFGF groups (n=10). The CI model was established in CI group, while the rats in control group were not given epidural impact. The rats in low-dose, middle-dose and high-dose bFGF groups were given bFGF at 2, 4 and 6 μg, respectively, by intraperitoneal injection after 30 min. The neurological function in the rats was evaluated by improved neurological function scoring. The rat brain tissues were taken, and the water content was detected. The levels of tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), interleukin-6 (IL-6) and IL-1β in the brain tissue were measured by ELISA. The malondialdehyde (MDA) content was analyzed by thiobarbituric acid method. The activity of superoxide dismutase (SOD) was examined by WST-8 assay. The glutathine peroxidase (GSH-Px) activity was detected by colorimetric method. The protein levels of autophagy related proteins LC3-Ⅱ and beclin-1 in the brain tissues were determined by Western blot. RESULTS:The neurological function score was increased significantly of the rats in CI group. The rat model of craniocerebral injury was successfully constructed. Neurological function scores in the rats in low-dose, middle-dose and high-dose bFGF groups were reduced, the water content of the brain tissue was also reduced (P<0.05). The levels of TNF-α, IL-6 and IL-1 β were decreased in the brain tissues (P<0.05), the content of MDA was declined (P<0.05), the activities of SOD and GSH-Px were increased (P<0.05), the protein levels of LC3-Ⅱ and beclin-1 were decreased, compared with the untreated rats in CI group (P<0.05). CONCLUSION:bFGF improves the nerve function of the rats with craniocerebral injury, reduces the water content of the brain tissue, reduces the expression of autophagic protein LC3-Ⅱ and beclin-1.The mechanism is related to the inhibition of inflammatory reaction and oxidative damage.

A new species of Malus in China,Malus shizongensis Liu sp. nov

Based on morphological, molecular biological, and molecular systematic studies, we describe here a new species of Malus from Yunnan, China. We compared the morphology of this new species, Malus shizongensis Liu sp. nov, with three Malus species, including M. hupehensis, M. baccata, and M. micromalus. Although the appearance of M. shizongensis was similar to these three species, it differed in height, branch color, branch hair, and flower color. To better identify the taxonomy of this new species, genome of M. shizongensis and that of seven Malus species, including M. prunifolia, M. sylvestris, M. sieversii, M. hupehensis, M. baccata, M. robusta, and M. micromalus were analyzed. A phylogenetic tree based on genome analysis indicated that M. shizongensis was close to M. hupehensis. Furthermore, M. shizongensis had its species-specific SNPs, and the number of species-specific SNPs was similar to that of three close species(M. hupehensis, M. baccata, and M. micromalus). Based on the above information, we named this new species as M. shizongensis Liu sp. nov.     

OsHemA gene,encoding glutamyl-tRNA reductase(GluTR) is essential for chlorophyll biosynthesis in rice(Oryza sativa)

Chlorophyll(Chl) biosynthesis is essential for photosynthesis and plant growth. Glutamyl-tRNA reductase(GluTR) catalyzes glutamyl-tRNA into glutamate-1-semialdehyde(GSA) and initiates the chlorophyll biosynthesis. Even though the main role of GluTR has been established, the effects caused by natural variations in its corresponding gene remain largely unknown. Here, we characterized a spontaneous mutant in paddy field with Chl biosynthesis deficiency, designated as cbd1. With intact thylakoid lamellar structure, the cbd1 plant showed light green leaves and reduced Chl and carotenoids(Cars) content significantly compared to the wild type. By map-based gene cloning, the mutation was restricted within a 57-kb region on chromosome 10, in which an mPingA miniature inverted-repeat transposable element(MITE) inserted in the promoter region of OsHemA gene. Both leaf color and the pigment contents in cbd1 were recovered in a complementation test, confirming OsHemA was responsible for the mutant phenotype. OsHemA was uniquely predicted to encode GluTR and its expression level was dramatically repressed in cbd1. Transient transformation in protoplasts demonstrated that GluTR localized in chloroplasts and a signal peptide exists in its N-terminus. A majority of Chl biosynthesis genes, except for POR and CHLG, were down-regulated synchronously by the repression of OsHemA, suggesting that an attenuation occurred in the Chl biosynthesis pathway. Interestingly, we found major agronomic traits involved in rice yield were statistically unaffected, except for the number of full grains per panicle was increased in cbd1. Collectively, OsHemA plays an essential role in Chl biosynthesis in rice and its weak allele can adjust leaf color and Chls content without compromise to rice yield.     

褪黑素对秦艽原生质体抗UV-B环境胁迫的作用

为探讨褪黑素对UV-B辐射后的秦艽原生质体的影响,本研究采用单细胞凝胶电泳技术检测秦艽原生质体DNA损伤程度,选取尾部DNA含量(TailDNA％)作为DNA损伤程度的分析指标.MEL以0、1、10 μmol·L-1的终浓度加入原生质体悬液中,UV-B辐射处理的辐照度为0,5 W·m-2.试验分2组:1)原生质体分别用UV-B辐射处理不同的时间(0、5、10、30、60、120 s),暗培养60 min后电泳.2)原生质体被UV-B照射40 s后,分别暗培养不同时间(0、1、2、3、4、6h),再电泳.结果显示在5～30 s的时间内,辐射时间越长,Tail DNA％越高,相同的辐射时间下,MEL浓度越高,TailDNA％越低;在1～6 h培养时间内,MEL处理的样品,TailDNA％值均低于阳性对照组,并且TailDNA％值的大小与所处理的MEL的浓度呈反比关系.由此可见褪黑素降低了UV-B辐射诱导的植物原生质体DNA损伤程度,促进DNA损伤的修复.本试验应用SCGE技术,进一步揭示了MEL在植物抗环境胁迫中所起到的促进作用.
