Identification of a Long Rice Spikelet Mutant

A spontaneously occurring rice (Oryza sativa L. ) mutant, characterized by homeotic conversion in glumes and stamens, was found in the progeny of a cross. The mutant showed long glumes and glumaceous lodicules and morphological transformation of stamens into pistils. Mutant florets consisted of 1 to 3 completely developed pistils, some pistilloid stamens with filaments, but tipped by bulged tissue and 0 to 3 stigmas. It seens that the mutant phenotype of the homeotic conversions in glumes and stamens is similar to that of the B loss-of-function mutants in Arabidopsis and Antirrhinum. The mutant is controlled by a single recessive gene as a segregation ratio of 3:1 (wild type to mutant plants) was observed in the F2 generation.

春兰AGL6基因的克隆及实时定量表达分析

本研究采用RT-PCR结合RACE技术从春兰(Cymbidium goeringii)中分离到一个AGL6基因。序列分析表明,该基因含有一个729bp长的开放阅读框(ORF),共编码242个氨基酸。系统进化树分析显示,该基因属于MADS-box基因家族AP1/AGL9组的AGL6同源基因,其编码的蛋白与其它植物AGL6类蛋白具有较高的同源性,命名为CgAGL6(基因登录号为HM208533)。实时荧光定量表达分析表明,CgAGL6基因春兰不同组织中均有表达,其中在唇瓣、花芽和子房中的表达量较高,在花瓣和萼片中的表达量次之,在根、叶和蕊柱中的表达量最低,显示了CgAGL6基因可能在春兰成花转变和花器官的形成过程中起着重要作用。     

面向设计的产品模块划分方

提出了面向产品设计的模块划分方法.首先对产品子结构间的功能和结构相关性进行了分析,应用模糊树图聚类算法,探讨了模块的聚类形成过程,得到多种模块划分方案.然后,基于信息熵理论,以模块化产品设计中的横系列设计复杂度、纵系列设计复杂度和更新换代设计复杂度为优化目标,建立了面向设计的模块划分方案数学评价模型,对模糊树图法聚类得到的多个方案进行评价,从而得到最合理的模块划分方案.最后,以石材花线制品加工设备为例,验证了该方法的有效性和合理性.     

Identification of Petunia hybrida cultivars that diurnally emit floral fragrances

In order to identify genetic resources for breeding fragrant petunias for use as bedding plants, volatile compounds released by day from the flowers of 40 commercial Petunia hybrida cultivars were analyzed using a solid-phase micro-extraction technique coupled with GC–MS. The three cultivars with solid deep-blue flowers that accumulate malvidin in corollas with high tissue pH were found to emit abundant iso-eugenol as the principal floral fragrance. Several other cultivars that emitted considerable amounts of methylbenzoate and/or benzylbenzoate from the flower were also identified. Association between the floral fragrance and the other floral traits such as floral anthocyanin composition and corolla-tissue pH was discussed.

蝴蝶兰花芽诱导过程中碳水化合物在叶与腋芽中的分配变化

 研究了粉色蝴蝶兰（KM 833）在两个不同条件下处理（处理组：人工气候箱日/夜温25℃/20℃；对照组：温室大棚生长条件）过程中叶片和腋芽中碳水化合物在叶与腋芽中的分配变化。结果发现对照的蝴蝶兰新叶开始时面积增长较快，但最后的叶面积的大小基本相同，处理组的单位叶面积干样质量在15 d后超过对照组；处理组蝴蝶兰叶片还原糖含量在20 d达到1个小高峰后下降，在30 d后开始急剧上升,至50 d达到最大值(31.08 mg·g^-1DM)，对照组的蝴蝶兰叶片还原糖含量在整个试验期间则较为恒定且缓慢地增长，腋芽中的还原糖含量则随时间而下降；两种处理蝴蝶兰叶片的可溶性糖和淀粉含量均随着时间的进程而逐步升高，处理组的蝴蝶兰腋芽中的可溶性糖和淀粉含量则在处理15 d内有个快速增加后缓慢下降，对照组腋芽的三类碳水化合物在处理期间处于上升趋势。无论在叶还是腋芽中,诱导组的碳水化合物含量均高于对照组。     

Fragrance heritability in Hybrid Tea roses

Most of the Hybrid Tea roses that are sold as cut flowers are non-scented, despite the long-standing interest of the perfume industry to rose scent. In the absence of comprehensive knowledge on the genetic and biochemistry of volatile biosynthesis in roses, we decided to characterize a Hybrid Tea progeny obtained from parents that emit very different scents. First, we identified the 11 most abundant volatile compounds synthesized by the progeny, and a short review is given for each one that describes their occurrence in the genus Rosa, in the parents and the studied progeny. We have then used statistical analysis on the distribution of volatiles among individual progeny members to unveil the laws of segregation of the scent traits in this cross. As a general rule, the quantity and quality of volatile compounds was lower in the progeny members. Variations in scent quality were mostly linked to the quantity of monoterpenes that was present. Offsprings emitting a pleasant fragrance were, in practice, found to be rare.     

Artificial decrease of leaf area affects inflorescence quality but not floral size in Antirrhinum majus

We have studied the effect of artificial modification of leaf area on inflorescence and floral quality in Antirrhinum majus. We used two treatments where we clipped all the leaves except the first three pairs of true leaves, or we cut every leaf visible by the time the plant had six leaf pairs. Decreased leaf area caused a decrease in stem elongation that could be traced back to a decrease in internode elongation. Leaves left on the plant increased their size beyond control. Inflorescence quality was strongly affected since total floral number showed a strong decrease with reduced leaf area. In contrast, floral size hardly changed. Breeding programs in Antirrhinum should take into account growth conditions affecting leaf area when searching for changes in inflorescence quality while floral size can be screened independently of this factor.
