Characteristics of glyphosate inhibition of growth in soybean and tobacco callus cultures

Callus cultures or tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum L. cv. While Gold and N. glauca-langsdorffii, a tumour-forming amphidiploid hybrid) and soybean Glycine max L., cv. Chippewa) were used lo study the effect of glyphosate [N-(phosphonnmethyl) glycine) un growth and interactions with growth hormones. Glyphosate inhibited growth both in the dark and light but showed a greater toxicity in the dark. This was contrary to its effect on chlorophyll degradation which was accelerated by light. The inhibition of growth was not reversed by simultaneous addition of aromatic amino acids to the medium. Thus the results suggest a multiple glyphosate action. The tobacco callus tissue was more sensitive to glyphosate than the soybean callus tissue, confirming a difference in tolerance between plant species. Despite the inhibitory effect of glyphosate. the treated tissue revived after being transferred to a glyphosate-free medium. The glyphosate-induced growth inhibition in soybean and tumour-forming tobacco callus cultures also was reversible by high levels of indole-3-acetic acid (IAA), which itself was inhibitory Theglyphosate-IAA interaction in the tissues which were sensitive to IAA suggests that the inhibition of growth by glyphosate was related to auxin levels in these tissues.     

韩国棕头鸦雀种群的卵色多态性及其比例的地理变化(英文)

了解一个物种种群内多态性的发生及其进化,是进化生物学的挑战之一。鸟类卵色的多态性是其中一个重要例子,分裂选择被认为是鸟类卵色多态性进化的机制。我们对韩国境内的棕头鸦雀(Paradoxornis webbianus)种群的卵色变化进行了调查,采用光纤光谱仪来确定纯蓝和纯白卵色的出现比率。结果表明,不同地理种群的鸦雀的蓝、白卵色的比率不同,高纬度地区蓝色卵的比例较少,而随着纬度南移,蓝色卵的比例逐渐增多。种群之间的卵色比率变化模式与种群内卵色的比率变化不同。本文探讨了棕头鸦雀卵色多态性进化的理论假设。     

Chemerin analog regulates energy metabolism in sheep

Accumulating data suggest a relationship between chemerin and energy metabolism. Our group previously described gene cloning, expression analysis and the regulatory mechanism of chemerin and its own receptor in mice and cattle. The objective of the present study was to investigate the physiological effect of chemerin on endocrine changes and energy metabolism in sheep using a biologically stable chemerin analog. The chemerin analog was intravenously administrated (100 or 500 µg/head) to sheep, and plasma insulin and metabolites (glucose, nonesterified fatty acids (NEFA), triglyceride, total cholesterol and high‐density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol) were analyzed. The chemerin analog dramatically increased the insulin levels, and glucose levels were decreased. NEFA levels were slightly decreased at 20 min but then increased gradually from 60 to 180 min after analog administration. In addition, injection of the chemerin analog immediately increased triglyceride and total cholesterol but not HDL levels. These results suggested that chemerin analog regulated insulin secretion related to glucose metabolism and the release of triglycerides in sheep in vivo. This study provides new information about endocrine and metabolic changes in response to chemerin in sheep.     

云锦杜鹃的耐碱反应

 在循环型底面潮水式灌施营养液栽培系统中,对云锦杜鹃3年生实生苗进行了营养液pH4.5,5.5,6.5,7.5和8.5处理。结果表明,以植株地上和地下部干、鲜样质量为指标,营养液pH7.5的环境较为适合,而pH8.5处理不适宜云锦杜鹃的营养物质积累,即干、鲜样质量偏低,在其它的低pH处理中该指标均表现为中等水平;叶片叶绿素含量和光合效率随pH值的升高呈现出较不明显的下降趋势;根系与叶片的营养元素含量没有明显变化,除P之外,所有被测定的矿质营养元素在5个不同的pH处理中均而无明显差异。云锦杜鹃有一定的耐碱性,而且对微量元素没有特别的要求。
