广西药用野生稻资源调查收集与保护建议

广西药用野生稻原生地破坏十分严重。二十世纪七十年代普查时在58个公社分布有药用野生稻,2002-2009年重新调查时,仅在43个乡镇发现分布有药用野生稻,比二十世纪七十年代减少25.9%。为确保广西药用野生稻资源的安全,共抢救性收集了170个居群、2142份药用野生稻资源,有效地保存了广西药用野生稻种质资源遗传多样性和完整性。同时,在调查中还发现药用野生稻原生地新的分布点15个以及植株高达5.2m、茎秆高位分蘖有3-4个分枝和半卷叶药用野生稻等特殊种质资源。根据调查结果和对广西药用野生稻濒危状况及其根源的分析,本文对未来药用野生稻的保护提出了建议。     

广东普通野生稻调查、收集与保护建议

为了全面了解广东省普通野生稻自然生存现状,更好地为我国野生稻资源的长远保护提供决策依据,2005-2016年我们对广东普通野生稻自然生存状况进行了实地调查。结果查明,目前广东共有25个县(市)尚存普通野生稻,尚有分布点118个,其中103个有历史资料记载,15个为本次调查新发现。根据历史资料统计,广东省原有普通野生稻分布点1083个,但截至目前野生稻已全部消失的分布点有980个,分布点丧失率90.49%,呈现严重濒危的趋势。调查发现,造成野生稻大量消失的原因主要有垦荒造田、水利建设、城镇建设、养殖业发展、除草剂使用、环境污染和外来物种侵袭等。调查的同时,从118个点共收集了1371份种茎样本进行异位保存,为普通野生稻资源持续利用提供了更大的物质保障。此外,对广东普通野生稻的长远保护提出了建议。     

广东省药用野生稻的调查收集与保护

为了全面了解广东药用野生稻自然生存现状,为我国野生稻资源的保护提供决策依据,2006、2012-2018年对广东药用野生稻生存状况进行了调查.结果查明,截至2018年12月,广东8个县市17个乡镇尚存药用野生稻,共有分布点21个,其中3个点为首次发现.现有分布点中,47.6％的分布点分布范围小于67 m2或只有零星几丛...     

国家Ⅱ级重点保护野生植物驼峰藤的研究进展

通过对专著、文献和多个网络资源数据库(植物志、标本、图像等)分析考证,及赴部分产地的野外实地考察,对珍稀濒危植物驼峰藤(Merrillanthus hainanensis Chun et Tsiang)的分类地位、形态特征、标本记录与保存、产地与生境、濒危的野外生存现状等情况进行了综述,以期为该保护物种的生存和发展和保护提供参考。自1933年采集到标本和1941年命名驼峰藤以来,至今已有80多年的历史,研究表明它的分布区范围从原广东、海南省扩展到中国大陆西南部和中南半岛部分地区(缅甸和柬埔寨),部分原有记载分布点已无法找到野生植株,导致其濒危的主要原因是生境的破坏和质量下降,广东中山五桂山脉或许是目前发现的最大野生种群保存地,文中就其保护措施提出了相关建议。

珍稀濒危植物--云南药用野生稻自然生态群的新发现及其特性

野生稻包括云南药用野生稻(Oryza officinalis Wall.ex Watt.,染色体组CC,染色体数2n=24)是宝贵的基因资源库,自然分布急剧减少。2001年,在云南耿马孟定遮甸新发现了1个药用野生稻分布点,该地药用野生稻植株高度可塑性大,可以根据密度和荫蔽情况自动大幅度调节株高;比其它生态群的结实率高;而其自然发病和人工接种鉴定发现抗稻瘟病能力中等偏上,抗白叶枯病害能力强,抗螟虫和稻飞虱能力也很强。品质分析结果表明该居群药用野生稻蛋白质含量比其它野生稻的高,而直链淀粉含量偏低,说明品质较好。本发现对采取有效措施进行药用野生稻原生地保护,以及试验结果对药用野生稻有利基因的发掘和利用都有重要参考价值。

广西野生稻原生境保护点建设的进展、问题和对策

广西是我国野生稻资源最丰富的省份之一,虽然广西野生稻资源异位保存工作成绩卓著,但自然居群逐年减少,分布面积急剧下降,导致广西野生稻濒危状况严重。为了遏止广西野生稻濒危加剧的趋势,广西自2002年开始进行野生稻原生境保护点建设工作。本文详细介绍了广西野生稻原生境保护点建设的技术、方法和成效,并根据国际国内原生境保护的发展动态,提出了从合理制定保护点建设规划、建立监测预警体系、加强资源鉴定与利用等几个方面促进广西野生稻原生境保护工作的策略。     

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).

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.     

Synthesis and antimicrobial studies of hydrazone derivatives of 4-[3-(2,4-difluorophenyl)-4-formyl-1H-pyrazol-1-yl]benzoic acid and 4-[3-(3,4-difluorophenyl)-4-formyl-1H-pyrazol-1-yl]benzoic acid

Microbial resistance to antibiotics is an unresolved global concern, which needs urgent and coordinated action. One of the guidelines of the Centers for Disease Control and Preventions (CDC) to combat antibiotic resistance is the development of new antibiotics to treat drug-resistant bacteria. In our effort to find new antibiotics, we report the synthesis and antimicrobial studies of 30 new pyrazole derivatives. These novel molecules have been synthesized by using readily available starting materials and benign reaction conditions. Some of these molecules have shown activity with MIC values as low as 0.78?µg/mL against four bacterial strains; Staphylococcus aureus, methicillin-resistant S. aureus, Bacillus subtilis, and Acinetobacter baumannii. Furthermore, active molecules are non-toxic to mammalian cell line.

     

Comparative morphology of the carpel in the Liliaceae: Hewardieae, Petrosavieae, and Tricyrteae

The young pistils in the melanthioid tribes, Hewardieae, Petrosavieae and Tricyrteae, are uniformly tricarpellate and syncarpous. They lack raphide idioblasts. All are multiovulate, with bitegmic ovules. The Petrosavieae are marked by the presence of septal glands and incomplete syncarpy. Tepals and stamens adhere to the ovary in the Hewardieae and the Petrosavieae but not in the Tricyrteae. Two vascular bundles occur in the stamens of the Hewartlieae and Tricyrtis latifolia. Ventral bundles in the upper part of the ovary of the Hewardieae are continuous with compound septal bundles and placental bundles in the lower part. Putative ventral bundles occur in the alternate position in the Tricyrteae and putative placental bundles in the opposite. position in the Petrosavieae. The dichtomously branched stigma in each carpel of the Tricyrteae is supplied by a bifurcated dorsal bundle.     

Novel compounds with potent CDK9 inhibitory activity for the treatment of myeloma

Cyclin-dependent kinases (CDKs) and Polo-like kinases (PLKs) play key role in the regulation of the cell cycle. The aim of our study was originally the further development of our recently discovered polo-like kinase 1 (PLK1) inhibitors. A series of new 2,4-disubstituted pyrimidine derivatives were synthesized around the original hit, but their PLK1 inhibitory activity was very poor. However the novel compounds showed nanomolar CDK9 inhibitory activity and very good antiproliferative effect on multiple myeloma cell lines (RPMI-8226).
