焦锑酸钾沉淀法定位Ca~(2+)在梨生理研究中的应用

介绍了应用焦锑酸钾沉淀法定位Ca2＋的方法，以及在梨生理研究中的具体步骤和应用效果。结果表明：在固定液中加焦锑酸钾处理进行制样，梨树不同器官或组织细胞中的自由态Ca2＋，都能生成焦锑酸钙在原部位沉淀，经染色后在电子显微镜下呈现出黑色颗粒，而固定液中不加焦锑酸钾处理的则没有这种颗粒。再进一步用Ca2＋的专一性鳌合物EGTA进行处理，检查这些黑色颗粒是否消失，以证实黑色颗粒就是Ca2＋，从而可对Ca2＋进行定位标记。在不同的组织细胞及同一组织细胞在不同的生理时期，其被标记的Ca2＋密度和场所是不同的，可通过其动态变化来探讨它的作用机理。还对用此方法定位Ca2＋的注意事项进行了讨论。     

Essential Fatty Acids and the Cat

Abstract— The physiology of essential fatty acid metabolism in the cat is reviewed. Emphasis is placed on those aspects of the n:6 and n:3 fatty acids, their metabolites and interactions, which relate primarily to the skin. The functional roles, if known, of the fatty acids are discussed. Recent clinical research into the use of essential fatty acid supplements in the management of feline dermatoses is presented. Current indications for the therapeutic supplementation with essential fatty acids are summarised.

以‘秦美’猕猴桃为试材,分离纯化在贮藏过程中引起腐烂的主要病原真菌。采用形态学观察及核糖体rDNA-ITS(Internal transcribed spacer)区序列分析法进行鉴定。结果表明:从腐烂猕猴桃中共分离出5株致病菌,对ITS区序列测序结果经GenBank数据库BLAST比对,A的ITS序列与Trichothecium roseum(EU552162.1)同一分支,支持率达100%;B的ITS序列与Fusarium tricinctum(AB587078.1)同一分支,支持率达99%;C的ITS序列与Penicillium expansum(AF330635.1)同一分支,支持率达99%;D的ITS序列与Colletotrichum boninense(KF819619.1)同一分支,支持率达99%;E的ITS序列与Botrytis elliptica(KJ638600.1)同一分支,支持率达100%。由形态学及ITS区序列分析,构建系统发育树,最终鉴定A为粉红聚端孢(Trichothecium roseum),B为镰刀菌属(Fusarium tricinctum),C为扩展青霉(Penicillium expansum),D为炭疽病菌(Colletotrichum boninense),E为灰葡萄孢(Botrytis cinerea)。5种病原真菌中灰葡萄孢为主要致病菌。     

Synergism between potassium sorbate dips and brief exposure to high CO2 or O2 at curing temperature for the control of citrus postharvest green and blue molds

Synergistic effects and very effective control of citrus postharvest green and blue molds, caused by Penicillium digitatum and Penicillium italicum, respectively, were observed on artificially inoculated ‘Valencia’ oranges and ‘Clemenules’ and ‘Ortanique’ mandarins after a potassium sorbate (PS) treatment was followed by 2 days of storage in atmospheres of elevated CO₂ or O₂ at a curing temperature. A combined treatment consisting of 60-s dips in aqueous solutions of 3% PS heated to 62 °C was followed by 48-h exposure to air, 15 kPa CO₂ or 30 kPa O₂ at 33 °C. Control treatment was a 60-s water dip at 20 °C followed by 24-h exposure to air at 20 °C. Synergism was observed on citrus fruit either incubated at 20 °C for up to 22 days, simulating direct commercialization, or stored at 5 °C for up to 45 days, simulating commercial cold storage. This research offers potential new tools to the citrus industry for implementation of nonpolluting integrated postharvest disease management programs, especially devoted to high added value organic markets or export markets with zero residue tolerance.     

‘清水’苜蓿与‘WL168’杂交后代的表型特征及生理特性

本研究以‘清水’紫花苜蓿（Medicago sativa L.‘Qingshui’）与‘WL168’紫花苜蓿（Medicago sativa L.‘WL168’）的杂交后代选育系RSA-01,RSA-02和RSA-03为研究对象,于种植第5年对其表型特征及生理特性进行观测分析。结果表明：RSA-01,RSA-02地上生物量显著低于‘WL168’（P<0.05）,而RSA-03显著高于‘清水’;RSA-02,RSA-03茎粗显著高于‘清水’和‘WL168’,而茎叶比均低于‘清水’;各形态指标中,茎粗变异系数最小,且RSA-03值最小,为2.17%;通径分析表明,RSA-01,RSA-02和RSA-03的茎叶比、茎粗与其地上生物量的直接通径系数分别为-0.649和0.709,-0.700和0.422,-0.858和0.189,茎叶比、茎粗是影响地上生物量的关键因素;RSA-01,RSA-03的过氧化物酶活性显著低于‘清水’和‘WL168’。与亲本‘清水’相比,RSA-03的地上生物量和茎粗都具有显著的杂种优势,但其抗逆性减弱,该研究结果为后期产量改良及抗逆性研究提供理论依据。     

乙烯受体ETR1基因同源性分析及乙烯敏感性与植物采后寿命的关系

将37种不同科属植物及5个不同月季品种的ETR1核苷酸、氨基酸序列进行同源性分析并构建了分子系统发生树,并对植物的呼吸跃变类型、乙烯敏感性及采后寿命的关系进行了归纳和分析.结果表明,在核苷酸水平上,分子性状的同源性与形态性状同源性具有一致性,但月季不同品种种间差异大于异源植物的属间差异.氨基酸序列的同源性分析结果与核苷酸相似,但仍存在差异,可能由于氨基酸密码子简并性、翻译起始位置的不同、ETR1片段大小的差异所造成.在蛋白质水平上,所分析的ETR1片段均具有高度保守结构域.植物的呼吸跃变类型虽与内源乙烯的生成有密切的关系,但与外源乙烯的敏感性无直接关系;植物对外源乙烯的敏感性与植物采后寿命的关系更为密切.     

Effect of maturity and storage temperature on the development of peteca in lemons (Citrus limon (L.) Burm. F.) cv. Eureka

To evaluate the effect of maturity and storage temperature on the development of the physiological disorder peteca, lemons cv. Eureka were harvested from a grove with northern exposure located in Mallarauco (33°45′ Latitude South) Metropolitan Region of Chile, at 2 levels of maturity (silver or yellow). After storage for 60 d at 3 or 7 °C, under 90% R.H., fruits were evaluated visually for incidence of epidermal and subepidermal peteca. At that time, the concentration of galacturonic acid and degree of methylation were measured in the albedo, and calcium, hydrogen peroxides and total oxalate concentrations, peroxidase and polyphenoloxidase (PPO) activities were determined in the juice and albedo. Yellow lemons at 3 °C developed more epidermal peteca than fruit stored at 7 °C, and that silver fruit stored at 3 and 7 °C, with these last lemons presenting a higher pectin quality than fruit stored at 3 °C. Maturity and temperature interacted significantly on the concentrations of peroxide and calcium in the albedo, which in average were much higher than in the juice, while for PPO and peroxidases, this interaction was highly significant both in juice and albedo, with higher activity in the albedo. These biochemical evaluations suggest that peteca is a result of some kind of stress on the fruit. It is concluded that yellow lemons are more prone to develop peteca than silver fruit. They will develop greater incidence of the disorder when stored at temperatures as low as 3 °C for 60 d, and that this condition affects the degree of methylation in the albedo, which would end up altering the quality of pectins.
