灵武长枣采后保鲜贮藏特性研究

以灵武长枣采后鲜果为试材,于不同贮藏条件下系统研究了其呼吸、乙烯释放、耗氧、失水及适宜贮温等特性,以期为灵武长枣贮藏保鲜措施制订提供依据。结果表明,八成熟灵武长枣在常温贮藏过程中,随贮藏时间延长,有呼吸高峰出现,乙烯释放呈双峰型;灵武长枣在果面完全着色时有呼吸升高和乙烯释放增加现象,灵武长枣可能为跃变型果实。灵武长枣采后耗氧迅速,极易失水,0℃恒温能显著延缓其后熟进程,保鲜期较常温延长21d。研究发现,控制环境低温,提高相对湿度和加强通风透气是灵武长枣贮藏保鲜的必要条件。     

葡萄贮期脱落酸（ABA）变化的研究

试验研究了葡萄贮期脱落酸 ( ABA)的变化 ,结果表明 :葡萄贮期 ABA含量呈抛物线形变化 ,有明显的高峰出现 ,低温 ( 0± 0 .5℃ )贮藏具有推迟 ABA峰期和降低峰值的作用 ,经用 9种植物生长调节剂和 2种化学药品对葡萄果穗处理试验 ,三碘苯甲酸 ( TIBA)对 ABA的形成有极强的抑制作用 ,吲哚 - 3-乙酸 ( IAA)、赤霉素 ( GA3)、萘乙酸 ( NAA)和 6-苄基氨基嘌呤 ( 6- BA)对 ABA的形成也具有拮抗作用 ,矮壮素 ( CCC)、比久 ( B9)、乙烯利 ( CEPA)和外源脱落酸对 ABA的形成有促进作用。     

葡萄采后果粒脱落及保鲜贮藏

葡萄穗粳和果柄的呼吸强度与乙烯生成显著高于果粒,并呈现呼吸跃变型变化。落粒果柄中GA消失,ABA增加。降低贮藏温度、外源GA,NAA,AOA处理能抑制落粒,ABA、乙烯利则增加落粒率。剪去穗梗和果柄后果粒和果柄间不再形成离层,表明穗梗和果柄在落粒过程中起重要作用。     

阳桃果实在不同贮藏条件下乙烯和二氧化碳的释放

阳桃(Averrhoa carambola)是一种非呼吸跃变型水果。已有报道,其果实在20-25℃下贮藏,不出现呼吸跃变高峰和乙烯释放高峰,对外源乙烯处理也不敏感。本试验测定了两种不同成熟阶段(一为绿色未熟果,另一为25%变黄的成熟果)的阳桃果实在不同温度、不同气体组成和不同相对湿度下贮藏时,乙烯和CO₂的释放情况。试验结果如下。     

6-BA、IAA、GA_3与ABA对木枣果实成熟衰老的调控作用

在木枣白熟期,用不同的植物激素处理果实,通过检测其生理生化变化,研究6-BA、IAA、GA3与ABA对枣果实成熟衰老的调控作用。结果显示,6-BA、IAA、GA3和ABA处理后枣果中DNA含量差异较为明显,其中,ABA和6-BA处理效果显著;GA3和IAA处理后枣组织中的丙二醛(MDA)含量明显低于对照组,6-BA和ABA处理则相反;除ABA处理外,枣组织中脯氨酸(Pro)含量明显低于对照组,维生素C(Vc)含量变化则相反;过氧化氢酶(CAT)活性表现差异很大,ABA和6-BA处理CAT活性显著高于对照组,IAA和GA3处理则相反。6-BA、IAA、GA3与ABA的生理作用在多方面表现为相互促进与互为拮抗的关系,有调控木枣果实成熟衰老的作用。     

猕猴桃果实采后生理研究进展

猕猴桃（Actinidia chinensis Planch.）属于呼吸跃变型果实,采后易软化腐烂,不耐贮藏,如何延长猕猴桃果实贮藏期限已成为猕猴桃产业发展壮大亟待解决的问题。猕猴桃果实采后生理变化强烈影响果实的贮藏期限和果实品质,特别是呼吸作用、乙烯合成及其信号转导系统和果实软化等,并且它们与猕猴桃贮藏保鲜技术的研发与应用密切相关。本文重点从这3个方面就国内外相关研究进展进行综述,并讨论它们对猕猴桃耐贮性的影响,以期为猕猴桃耐贮新品种的培育和贮藏保鲜技术的研发提供理论依据。     

巴梨成熟期间乙烯与脱落酸含量的变化

乙烯和ABA在调节果实成熟过程中的作用已受到重视L,',8J。我们曾观察到杏与白兰瓜等跃变果实在成熟时,ABA积累发生在乙烯生成之前,外施ABA促进了杏果乙烯的生成与成熟,并且发现果实的耐贮藏性与果肉中ABA的含量有一定关系[a.,.4]巴梨是最易腐烂的跃变果实,是研究这一问题的适宜材料。因此,我们对发育与贮藏期的巴梨进行了果实呼吸、乙烯与ABA含量变化的研究。     

草莓果实成熟期间RNA代谢的变化

现已证明,鳄梨和番茄等跃变型果实的成熟涉及基因表达的改变和新蛋白质(酶)的合成(Brady 1987)。但是,关于草莓这类非跃变型果实成熟的生化控制机理却很少报道,它们是否也如同跃变型果实那样与新的核酸和蛋白质合成有关?本实验测定了草莓果实成熟期间poly(A)+RNA含量的变化和poly(A)+RNA的体外翻译活性,目的在于探讨草莓果实的成熟机     

不同成熟度杨梅果实采后呼吸速率、乙烯释放速率和品质的变化

以3个品种杨梅果实为材料,将采后果实分为未成熟(immature)、成熟(mature)和完熟(ripe)3种不同成熟度,在20℃下48 h贮藏过程中,每隔3 h检测一次呼吸速率和乙烯释放速率,并分析成熟过程相关的品质变化.结果表明,未成熟和成熟果实的呼吸速率和乙烯合成变化呈现典型的跃变型果实特征,而在完熟果实中检测不到呼吸和乙烯跃变过程.未成熟和成熟杨梅果实中PAL活性趋于提高,而完熟果实的呈下降变化,这一结果与矢车菊-3-葡萄糖苷(Cy-3-Glu)含量变化相吻合;CIRG值与杨梅果实Cv-3-Glu含量呈极显著正相关(r=0.96**).结果显示杨梅果实属于跃变型果实.     

香蕉后熟过程中ACC含量的变化与乙烯生成的关系及低温对它们的影响

跃变型果实后熟过程中一个明显特征是出现乙烯的大量生成。乙烯是成熟激素,是发动果实后熟作用的一个必需因子。与果实后熟过程中一系列生理变化,如呼吸跃变,果实软化,果实脱绿等有着十分密切的关系。近年来,Yang等的大量研究确

Relative and combined effects of ethanol and protein deficiency on strontium and barium bone content and fecal and urinary excretion

To elucidate accumulation of minerals in human iliac arteries with aging, the content of minerals was analyzed by inductively coupled plasma atomic emission spectrometry. Bilateral common, internal, and external iliac arteries of 16 men and 8 women, ranging ages from 65 to 93 yr, were examined. It was found that an extremely high accumulation of calcium and phosphorus occurred in the common iliac artery at old age, being higher than that of the internal and external iliac arteries. It should be noted that the accumulation of calcium and phosphorus is the highest in the common iliac artery among the human arteries examined to date. Regarding sexual differences, the content of calcium and phosphorus in the common and internal iliac arteries was higher in women than in men, whereas their content in the external iliac artery was lower in women than in men.     

New amino-dithiaphospholanes and phosphoramidodithioites and their rhodium and iridium complexes

New sulfur derivatives of phosphoramidite ligands were synthesized and the impact of the sulfur unit on the spectroscopic properties of their rhodium and iridium complexes was investigated. The new ligands Bn₂NPSCH₂CH₂S^a(P-S^a) (Bn = benzyl, 4), Bn₂NPSCHCHS^a(CH₂)₃C^aH₂(P-S^a)(C^a-S^a) (6) and Bn₂NP(4-XC₆H₄OMe)₂ (X = S, 7a; X = O, 7b) were converted to the rhodium and iridium complexes trans-[Rh(CO)Cl(L)₂] (L = 4, 6, 7), [RhCl(COD)(L)] (L = 4, 6, 7), [IrCl(COD)(7a)] and [IrCl₂Cp∗(6)]. For comparison, some phosphoramidite complexes of these formulations also were synthesized. The new metal complexes were spectroscopically analyzed. For the carbonyl complexes, the ν_CO IR stretching frequencies were lower than for the corresponding phosphite and phosphoramidite ligands. The ¹J_PRh coupling constants for the rhodium complexes with the new ligands were also smaller than for the respective phosphoramidite and phosphite complexes. Finally, the ¹J_PSe coupling constants of the selenides of the new ligands were lower than those of the phosphoramidite ligands but higher than for PPh₃. The spectroscopic data reveal that the new thio ligands 4, 6 and 7a are more electron donating than phosphites and phosphoramidites but less electron donating than PPh₃.     

Astrocytes and Synaptosomes Transport and Metabolize Lactate and Acetate Differently

Astrocytes transport the monocarboxylate acetate, but synaptosomes do not. The reason for this is unknown, because both preparations express monocarboxylate transporters (MCT). The transport and metabolism of lactate, another monocarboxylate, was examined in these two preparations, and the results were compared to those for acetate. Lactate transport is more rapid in astrocytes than in synaptosomes, but of lower affinity (Kms of 17 and 4 mM, respectively). Lactate (0.2 mM) is metabolized to CO2 more rapidly in synaptosomes than in astrocytes (rates of 0.37 and 0.07 nmol x mg protein(-1) x min(-1), respectively). The reason for this is unclear, but cellular differences in lactate dehydrogenase isotype expression may be involved. Acetate is metabolized to CO2 more rapidly in astrocytes than in synaptosomes (rates of 0.43 and 0.02 nmol x mg protein(-1) x min(-1), respectively). This is likely due to cellular differences in the expression of monocarboxylate transporter subtypes.

Prostaglandin and thromboxane production by human and guinea-pig macrophages and leucocytes

The ability of partially purified human and guinea-pig haematogenous cell populations, when cultured in vitro, to metabolise arachidonic acid (AA) has been studied. Supernatants from 24 hour cell culture have been subjected to analysis for products of AA metabolism by gas chromatography with electron-capture detection.The cell types studied were human peripheral blood monocytes (both glass adherent and non-adherent), neutrophils, eosinophils and leukemic leucocytes; thoracic duct lymphocytes and lung alveolar macrophages. From the guinea-pig, induced and non-induced macrophage or neutrophil enriched peritoneal exudate populations, lymph node cells, peritoneal eosinophils and peripheral blood platelets were examined. Supernatants were assayed for the presence of PGE₂, PGD₂, PGF_2α, TXB₂ and 6-keto-PGF_1α. In all types studied PGE₂ and TXB₂ were the major products formed. The identification of PGE₂ and TXB₂ was confirmed by GC/MS with multiple ion monitoring.The results have been compared with other reports and their possible significance discussed in relation to the proposed role of prostaglandins as mediators and modulators in immunopathology.

Cytoskeleton and mitochondrial morphology and function

It has been well established that the cytoskeleton is an essential modulator of cell morphology and motility, intracytoplasmic transport and mitosis, however cytoskeletal linkage to the organelles has not been unequivocally demonstrated. Indeed, cytoskeleton appears to be essential in determining and modulating gene phenotype as a function of cellular environment. According to recent studies, the organization of the cytoskeleton network together with associated protein(s) could be essential in regulating mitochondrial function and particularly the permeability of the mitochondrial outer membrane to ADP. The aim of this chapter is to summarize the main properties of the cytoskeletal environment of mitochondria and the possible role(s) of this network in mitochondrial function in myocytes.
