Identification of organic acid-related genes and their expression profiles in two pear (Pyrus pyrifolia) cultivars with difference in predominant acid type at fruit ripening stage

‘Yandangxueli’ is a pear cultivar with predominant citric acid in the ripe fruit, different from most of pear cultivars such as ‘Gengtouqing’ in which malic acid is the predominant acid type. It was found that ‘Yandangxueli’ accumulated citric acid for three times against that in ‘Gengtouqing’ at fruit ripening stage. To investigate the mechanism of citric acid accumulation in ‘Yandangxueli’, organic acids content, gene expression and enzyme activity were studied in both cultivars. Five genes, Pp:mtCs, Pp:cyAco, Pp:cyIdh, Pp:mtMdh and Pp:cyMe which encoded citric synthase (CS), cytosolic aconitase (cyACO), NADP-dependent isocitrate dehydrogenase (NADP-IDH), NAD-dependent malate dehydrogenase (NAD-MDH) and NADP-dependent malic enzyme (NADP-ME) respectively, were identified from pear fruit. Their expression profiles and the corresponding enzyme activities were determined throughout fruit development in both cultivars. Results from these enzymes indicated that there were no strict relationship between gene expression, enzyme activity and citric acid accumulation. Expression analysis for two Py:vVAtp genes encoding vacuolar H⁺-ATPase A subunit and one Py:vVpp gene encoding Vacuolar H⁺-pyrophosphatase showed that they were all with up-regulated expression at the later development stage of ‘Yandangxueli’ but with down-regulated expression in ‘Gengtouqing’. Therefore, it is concluded that the different ability in citric acid transportation and storage might be involved in the high citric acid content in ‘Yandangxueli’.

动物园常态化保护教育项目的评估和分析——以“澳洲区幕后之旅”为例

保护教育作为现代动物园的主要职能之一,常态化的保护教育项目的开展正是动物园这一职能的重要体现.近两年南京市红山森林动物园开发了6个动物场馆幕后之旅的常态化教育项目,以澳洲区幕后之旅为例,通过对2014年4～7月的活动参与者进行问卷调查,对教育项目进行评估.结果显示此类教育项目切合当下亲子游的市场需求,对于影响常态化教育项目初期的正常开展的主要因素有市场推广、项目内容和师资力量.其中市场推广效果较好的是朋友推荐和网络宣传;项目内容中受欢迎程度较高的是亲近动物或动物相关内容;关于项目形式幼儿（4～6岁）偏好游戏互动环节而小学低年级（7～9岁）偏好动物故事环节.     

5‐Aminolevulinic Acid Activates Antioxidative Defence System and Seedling Growth in Brassica napus L. under Water‐Deficit Stress

The present study assesses the effects of 5‐aminolevulinic acid (ALA, 0, 0.1, 1 and 10 mg l^?1) on the growth of oilseed rape (Brassica napus L. cv. ZS758) seedlings under water‐deficit stress induced by polyethylene glycol (PEG 6000, 0 and ?0.3 MPa). Water‐deficit stress imposed negative effects on seedling growth by reducing shoot biomass, cotyledon water potential, chlorophyll content and non‐enzymatic antioxidants (glutathione and ascorbic acid) levels. On the other hand, water‐deficit stress enhanced the malondialdehyde (MDA) content, reactive oxygen species (ROS) production, enzymatic antioxidants activities, reduced/oxidized glutathione ratio (GSH/GSSG) and reduced/oxidized ascorbic acid (ASA/DHA) ratio in seedlings. Application of ALA at lower dosages (0.1 and 1 mg l^?1) improved shoot weight and chlorophyll contents, and decreased MDA in rape seedlings, whereas moderately higher dosage of ALA (10 mg l^?1) hampered the growth. The study also indicated that 1 mg l^?1 ALA improved chlorophyll content, but reduced MDA content and ROS production significantly under water‐deficit stress. Lower dosages of ALA (0.1 and 1 mg l^?1) also enhanced GSH/GSSG and ASA/DHA as compared to the seedlings under water‐deficit stress. The antioxidant enzymes (ascorbate peroxidase, peroxidase, catalase, glutathione reductase and superoxide dismutase) enhanced their activities remarkably with 1 mg l^?1 ALA treatment under water‐deficit stress. It was also revealed that 1 mg l^?1 ALA treatment alone induced the expression of APX, CAT and GR substantially and under water‐deficit stress conditions ALA treatment could induce the expression of POD, CAT and GR to a certain degree. These results indicated that 0.1–1 mg l^?1 ALA could enhance the water‐deficit stress tolerance of oilseed seedlings through improving the biomass accumulation, maintaining a relative high ratio of GSH/GSSG and ASA/DHA, enhancing the activities of the specific antioxidant enzymes and inducing the expression of the specific antioxidant enzyme genes.

FGF4在肺癌细胞体内和体外中表达差异的研究

FGF4已经被证明是癌基因,它涉及肿瘤的生长和转移,为了解FGF4的表达与肿瘤微环境的关系。我们利用FGF4抗体通过免疫组化对一名肺癌患者癌旁,癌组织,癌组织小鼠移植瘤,二次移植瘤以及原代培养的细胞爬片进行FGF4检测,探究其表达差异。通过对比癌组织与对照组（癌旁组织）,FGF4在癌巢中高表达;同样,移植瘤与二次移植瘤的癌巢中与癌旁组织比较,FGF4表达相对较高;但是将癌组织进行原代培养后,免疫组化检测细胞爬片FGF4,发现仅有5%±0.21%的肿瘤细胞表达FGF4,对照蛋白Cytokine作为肿瘤标记物,则在100%的肿瘤细胞中表达。研究提示免疫组化检测到FGF4在体内和体外表达不同,提示肿瘤细胞FGF4的表达与肿瘤微环境调控密切相关,肿瘤微环境对肿瘤细胞的FGF4的调控有着重要作用。     

赤霉素调控植物块茎形态建成的研究进展

赤霉素对植物的生长发育具有重要的调控作用。综述了赤霉素调控块茎形态建成的研究进展。块茎形态建成是一个复杂的生理过程,受遗传、坏境等因素共同调控,其中,激素调控发挥重要作用。虽然多种激素参与调控块茎的形态建成,但它们的效果最终均依赖于赤霉素含量。一般认为赤霉素抑制或延缓块茎的形成,但对块茎生长膨大的作用有不同的看法。已明确植物体内赤霉素转导的GA-GID1-DELLA路径,但是否在块茎形态建成过程中发挥作用还不清楚。最后提出块茎形态建成可能分为块茎启动和生长膨大两个不同阶段,分属于两个独立的调控系统,同时存在不同于GA-GID1-DELLA信号通路的赤霉素途径,赤霉素在其中发挥的作用不同,机制也不同。     

烤烟带电育苗病虫害与生长调查

利用双层带电育苗技术，研究其对烟苗育苗期间常见的病虫害预防效果以及苗的生长状况。结果表明:带电育苗对根茎类和气传病害有预防效果。烟苗生长速度快，能有效缩短成苗时间、提高烟苗质量；但底层有无人工补光和营养液碳酸氢根离子浓度高低对预防白粉病影响很大，对调控生长效果影响显著。带电育苗时底层补光并在原液中添加碳酸氢钾或在环境中增施烟气CO2，对预防白粉病效果显著。带电育苗上、下层在蚜虫密集环境中仍然不能有效趋避蚜虫，而使用物理植保液防治蚜虫非常有效。
