研究表明蝗虫走路不凭“感”觉靠“视觉”

一项新研究发现，蝗虫并不是靠“感觉”走路，而是依靠“视觉”精确定位自己的每一步，这表明人类可能低估了蝗虫的视觉导向系统。此前研究表明，昆虫大多靠触角等器官凭“感觉”行走或飞行，依靠视觉引导行走对于脑部较小的昆虫来说似乎过于高级。     

Origin and fate of the nucleolar channel system of normal human endometium

Human normal endometrium was examined in ultrathin sections.Nucleolar channel system(NCS) appeared in the endometrial epithelial cells during the early and mid secretory phase of menstrual cycle.The NCS was a hollow ball like structure of different sizes and was composed of 2 to 5 rows of tubules embedded in an amporphous matrix.On its surface there were numerous electron dense particles resembling ribosomes,It was usually located within or associated with the nucleolus,SOmetimes,it was close to the nuclear envelope or protruding out from the nucleus .On occasion,NCS with simplified structure was found in the perinuclear cytoplasm.Concepts concerning the genesis,involution and function(s) of the NCS were disussed.     

胶囊包装系统

加利福尼亚戴维斯植物遗传公司开发出一种专有的胶囊包装系统,可保护娇嫩的体细胞胚经受住处理及大田种植的折腾。胶衣囊由两类物质组成:凝胶基质,含有控制胚萌发的基本成份和辅助成份——多种的杀真菌剂、除锈剂及杀虫剂;保护性多聚覆盖物,既可防止水份丢失,又可保留与天然种子相似的可处理性。
