植物激素对驳骨丹茎愈伤组织生长和器官再生的作用

在驳骨丹离体茎切段培养中,用MS基本培养基,分别附加2毫克/升BA和0.2毫克/升NAA诱导愈伤组织,附加1毫克/升BA诱导芽分化;以2/1MS基本培养基分别附加0.5毫克/升NAA、IBA、IAA和2,4-D进行诱导发根试验,除2,4-D无效外,均能生根形成再生植株。根据上述试验结果,设计不同浓度的BA和NAA组合,进行愈伤组织继代培养,讨论这两种激素对愈伤组织生长和器官再生的调节作用。主要结果为:1.低浓度的BA和NAA组合比较有利促进愈伤组织的生长,且以中等浓度的BA和低浓度NAA的效果最佳;2.单独附加BA,其浓度在0.25—4.0毫克/升范围内,都能促进芽分化,而完全抑制了根的发生。当单加NAA,在0.5—6.0毫克/升的浓度范围内,能促进根的形成,而随其浓度的升高抑制芽的分化;3.细胞分裂素与生长素的比值>0.5时,有利芽分化而抑制根的发生,当比值<0.6时,有利根形成而抑制或减弱细胞分裂素促进芽分化的作用。在这里讨论了生长素和细胞分裂素之间对报、芽形成的拮抗作用。     

圆叶娃儿藤离体组织培养的快速繁殖研究

紫云英叶片及叶肉原生质体的培养

本工作研究了豆科植物紫云英的叶片及叶肉原生质体的培养。叶片培养实验表明,诱导愈伤组织的最适培养基为MS加1.0-2.0毫克/升2,4-D和0.25毫克/升KT;诱导根分化需加1.0—5.0毫克/升NAA和0.5毫克/升BA;而苗分化则以0—0.5毫克/升IAA和0.5毫克/升BA为好。高浓度的NAA有利于根分化而抑制茎芽形成;高浓度的IAA对根和芽分化都有抑制作用。叶肉原生质体分离和培养试验表明,紫云英叶肉原生质体的释放及其培养活力受叶龄、植株生理状态和酶浓度的影响。叶肉原生质体在改良的KM8P培养基中能分裂。用改良KM8细胞培养基定期稀释,可使分裂持续进行而得到细胞团。BA和2,4-D为诱导紫云英叶肉原生质体分裂所必需。其最佳组合激素为BA 0.21毫克/升和2,4-D 1.13毫克/升。葡萄糖作为渗透压稳定剂时,其浓度明显影响原生质体的存活率。弱光条件下培养比黑暗培养有利于叶肉原生质体分裂。由叶肉原生质体形成的愈伤组织能形成瘤状结构和根。     

罗汉果叶组织培养的研究

用MS基本培养基培养罗汉果叶组织,研究植物激素对形成器官的影响。不同细胞分裂素的试验结果表明:在试验浓度范围内(0.5—1.0毫克/升)。BA明显促进茅的形成,KT和对照(基本培养基)均无形成茅,BA为罗汉果叶组织形成芽所必需的。IAA或IBA0.5毫克/升和BA1.0毫克/升配合使用。对叶组织形成芽有增效作用。茅进一步长出茎叶,将茎叶转入含有NAA0.2毫克/升的1/2MS的生根培养基,明显促进根的形成和发展成完整植株。 我们进行长滩果,拉江果及青皮果等三个罗汉果主要品种的叶组织离体培养,均能诱导形成丛生茅,将丛生叶分开,可不断扩大繁殖,促进芽的增殖,能获得大量绿苗。幼苗移栽土壤获得成活,成活率达80—100％,幼苗生长良好。

马蹄莲组织培养和快速繁殖

本文报道从新西兰引进马蹄莲杂交种的8个优良品种。研究植物激素及培养基物理性质对器官形成的影响。试验结果表明细胞分裂素BA0.5—1.0毫克/升明显促进芽的形成和增殖。随着BA浓度的增高.形成芽数也随着增多。备品种均能诱导形成丛生芽。低浓度BA或NAA有利于芽发育和诱导生根。固体培养有利于诱导彤成丛生芽;而液体静置培养促进芽发育和生根。各品种的试管苗成功地移栽田间并已开始开花。     

赤霉素对烟草叶组织培养中芽形成的抑制效应

本文研究了赤霉素(GA)对烟草叶组织培养中芽形成的影响。单加GA 能明显促进叶组织膨大,叶肉细胞明显增大,但无细胞分裂发生。在诱导成芽的培养基中(2毫克/升BA)加入不同浓度的GA(0.5—5.0毫克/升),均强烈抑制芽的形成。在培养的不同时间进行的不同培养基之间的转移培养试验说明,GA 的作用主要发生在第一个星期内。组织细胞学观察表明,在加有GA 和BA 的培养基上,叶组织中极少形成分生细胞团。GA 抑制芽形成的作用显然与此密切相关。一旦培养的组织中形成了有一定结构的分生细胞团,这一成芽过程似不再为GA 所逆转。     

甜茶组织培养研究

甜茶的茎段和实生苗培养在MS基本培养基中,研究植物激素对器官形成的影响,试验结果表明BA0.5-2.0毫克/升明显促进芽的形成和增殖;而对照(基本培养基)无形成芽。细胞分裂素对芽的起动是必需的。BA0.5-2.0毫克/升和GA_s1.0毫克/升配合使用,对茎段形成芽和增殖反而减少,但形成的苗较高和幼叶生长良好。通过继代培养,可繁殖大量小苗,它揭示出同一块外植体生长出许多小植株的可能,将无根苗转入含有IBA0.25-0.50毫克/升的1/2MS培养基中,能诱导生根,发展完整植株。试管苗移植土壤中,获得成功,幼苗生长良好。     

Recent advances in the study of Kaposi's sarcoma-associated herpesvirus replication and pathogenesis

It has now been over twenty years since a novel herpesviral genome was identified in Kaposi's sarcoma biopsies. Since then, the cumulative research effort by molecular biologists, virologists, clinicians, and epidemiologists alike has led to the extensive characterization of this tumor virus, Kaposi's sarcoma-associated herpesvirus(KSHV; also known as human herpesvirus 8(HHV-8)), and its associated diseases. Here we review the current knowledge of KSHV biology and pathogenesis, with a particular emphasis on new and exciting advances in the field of epigenetics. We also discuss the development and practicality of various cell culture and animal model systems to study KSHV replication and pathogenesis.     

A Unique Protease Cleavage Site Predicted in the Spike Protein of the Novel Pneumonia Coronavirus (2019-nCoV) Potentially Related to Viral Transmissibility

正Dear Editor,In December 2019, a novel human coronavirus caused an epidemic of severe pneumonia(Coronavirus Disease 2019,COVID-19) in Wuhan, Hubei, China(Wu et al. 2020; Zhu et al. 2020). So far, this virus has spread to all areas of China and even to other countries. The epidemic has caused 67,102 confirmed infections with 1526 fatal cases     

Curcuminoids as inhibitors of thioredoxin reductase: A receptor based pharmacophore study with distance mapping of the active site

Curcumin is the yellow pigment of turmeric that interacts irreversibly forming an adduct with thioredoxin reductase (TrxR), an enzyme responsible for redox control of cell and defence against oxidative stress. Docking at both the active sites of TrxR was performed to compare the potency of three naturally occurring curcuminoids, namely curcumin, demethoxy curcumin and bis-demethoxy curcumin. Results show that active sites of TrxR occur at the junction of E and F chains. Volume and area of both cavities is predicted. It has been concluded by distance mapping of the most active conformations that Se atom of catalytic residue SeCYS498, is at a distance of 3.56 from C13 of demethoxy curcumin at the E chain active site, whereas C13 carbon atom forms adduct with Se atom of SeCys 498. We report that at least one methoxy group in curcuminoids is necessary for interation with catalytic residues of thioredoxin. Pharmacophore of both active sites of the TrxR receptor for curcumin and demethoxy curcumin molecules has been drawn and proposed for design and synthesis of most probable potent antiproliferative synthetic drugs.     

The structure, reproduction and taxonomy of Vidalia and Osmundaria (Rhodophyta, Rhodomelaceae)

Comprises species occurring mostly in subtidal habitats in tropical, subtropical and warm-temperate areas of the world. An analysis of the type species, V. spiralis (Sonder) Lamouroux ex J. Agardh, a species from Australia, establishes basic characters for distinguishing species in the genus. These characters are (1) branching patterns of thalli, (2) flat blades that may be spiralled on their axis, (3) width of the blade, (4) primary or secondary derivation of sterile and fertile branchlets and (5) position of sterile and fertile branchlets on the thalli. Application of the latter two characters provides an important basic method for separation of species into three major groups. Osmundaria , a genus known only in southern Australia, was studied in relation to Vidalia , and its separation from the Vidalia assemblage is not accepted. Species of Vidalia therefore are transferred to the older genus name, Osmundaria. Two new species, Osmundaria papenfussii and Osmundaria oliveae are described from Natal. Confusion in the usage of the epithet, Vidalia fimbriala Brown ex Turner has been clarified, and Vidalia gregaria Falkenberg, described as an epiphyte on Osmundaria pro/ifera Lamouroux, is revealed to be young branches of the host, Osmundaria prolifera.     

New or rare chromosome counts in Artemisia L. (Asteraceae, Anthemideae) and related genera from Kazakhstan

Fifteen chromosome counts of six Artemisia taxa and one species of each of the genera Brachanthemum, Hippolytia, Kaschgaria, Lepidolopsis and Turaniphytum are reported from Kazakhstan. Three of them are new reports, two are not consistent with previous counts and the remainder are confirmations of very scarce (one to four) earlier records. All the populations studied have the same basic chromosome number, x = 9, with ploidy levels ranging from 2x to 6x. Some correlations between ploidy level, morphological characters and distribution are noted.
