荔枝花发育过程中雌雄蕊内源激素的动态变化

分析了荔枝花性别决定中雄蕊和雌蕊内源激素含量的动态变化 .结果发现 :雌蕊的发育与较高浓度的IAA和iPAs相关联 ;GA和ZRs的含量在较低浓度时有利于性器官发育 ,而较高浓度则抑制了对应性器官的发育 ;在败育的雄蕊或雌蕊中都含有较高浓度的ABA ,但从激素平衡的角度分析 ,促进生长物质与抑制生长物质的比值相对高时 ,即雄蕊的ABA浓度相对较低 ,雄蕊发育正常 ;当该比值相对较低时 ,即雌蕊的ABA浓度相对较高 ,雌蕊发育正常 .提出调节荔枝雌、雄花的发育不是某一种激素单独作用的结果 ,而是各种激素在时间、空间上的相互作用产生的综合效果 .图 2表 2参 17     

西域旌节花在不同环境下生长发育及某些生物学现象

观察和调查了西域旌节花Stachyurus himalaicus在不同环境下的生长发育和开花结果状况，并对某些生物学现象作初步探讨，发现不同环境下的西域旌节花从腋芽的出现到枝叶的生长以及开花结果等在时间的先后和过程的长短上有所不同，植株在秋冬季落叶与否很大程度上取决于植株本身的高矮和大小以当地的荫蔽条件和水分状况等。西域旌节花表面上为两性花，实质为假两性花，对于某一具体植株来说，要么雌蕊能育，要么雄能育，但不可能两者兼之。尽管每一棵植株都有雌蕊和雄蕊。当雌蕊能育时，雄蕊却不育（无花粉）；当雄蕊能育（有花粉）时，雌蕊则不育，花开过之后整个脱落，不同环境下植株结果的比例也不同，差异较大，西域旌节花的落果情况非常严重，原因有待于进一步的观察和实验，图版1表1参8。     

龙眼胚珠多胺含量变化与胚胎发育的关系

研究了龙眼胚胎发育与多胺(PAs)含量的关系.结果表明:正常发育的胚珠中多胺含量在胚胎发育的各个时期均高于败育胚珠.多胺含量在花后d10最高,其中腐胺(Put)约占多胺总含量的65%;以后各发育阶段多胺含量逐渐下降,其中d31~38下降幅度明显.不过,亚精胺(Spd)除d10外在正常胚珠中含量也大于败育胚珠.(Spd Spm)/(Put)和(Spm)/(PAs)比值变化与龙眼胚珠的发育有直接关系,表现为较高比值有利于胚胎发育,反之则抑制胚胎发育.多胺合成高峰先于核酸和蛋白质,推测多胺可能通过与核酸的相互作用参与核酸和蛋白质的合成和调节.图3表1参12

Vertical fluxes and ecological significance of organic materials during the phytoplankton bloom during austral summer in Breid Bay,Antarctica

A mooring system consisting of an in situ fluorometer at a depth of 50 m and a time-series sediment trap at a depth of 110 m was deployed at the sediment trap site (70°11.536'S; 24°18.679'E; water depth: 300 m) in Breid Bay, Antarctica in austral summer from 28 December 1985 to 13 February 1986. Sinking particles, consisting of diatoms (mainly Thalassiosira antarctica), were analyzed for organic materials, stable carbon and nitrogen isotopes. Vertical fluxes of organic carbon and nitrogen were determined to be within the ranges of 12.3 to 116 mg C m^-2 d^-1 and 1.79 to 15.4 mg N m^-2 d^-1, respectively, with maxima in the middle of January 1986, after which time the organic carbon and nitrogen fluxes tended to decrease with a steep gradient. High values of ¹³C were found in the organic matter of the sinking particles collected before the middle of January, indicating that the organic matter was derived from the diatoms in the logarithmic phase of their growth. Increased abundance of glucose was found in the water-extractable carbohydrate, which was one of the sinking particles collected in the middle of January. This fact clearly indicated that the diatoms were no longer in the growth phase but rather in the stationary phase, because reserved glucan as well as various cellular organic materials were reportedly accumulated within the algal cells in the stationary phase. Fifteen species of protein amino acids with trace amounts of -alanine, -aminobutyric acid and ornithine were found in the sinking particles upon acid hydrolysis, but the amino acid composition of these samples had not been affected much by biological agents. The essential amino acid index was calculated for the sinking particles collected in the course of the sediment trap experiment. The indices obtained indicated that the sinking particles collected in Breid Bay were more ecologically significant than the sinking and suspended particles from deep waters.

Spatial and temporal shifts in stable isotope values of the bottom-dwelling shrimp<Emphasis Type="Italic"> Nauticaris marionis</Emphasis> at the sub-Antarctic archipelago

Spatial and temporal dynamics of carbon and nitrogen stable isotope signatures of the bottom-dwelling caridean shrimp Nauticaris marionis were measured during April and May between 1984 and 2000 in the vicinity of Marion Island (the Prince Edward Islands, Southern Ocean). There was one trophic-level enrichment in bulk ¹⁵N and ¹³C signatures between small (<20 mm long) and large (>20 mm) specimens of N. marionis, suggesting distinct trophic differentiation among major shrimp size groups. Both ¹⁵N and ¹³C values of N. marionis increased with the depth, reflecting changes in their diet. There were no clear temporal trends in bulk ¹⁵N signatures of N. marionis. However, compound-specific ¹⁵N measurements of amino acids indicated that N. marionis from the inter-island realm occupied the trophic level of second order carnivores, while similarly sized shrimps in the near-shore realm were at the trophic level of first order carnivores. Compound-specific measurements also identified a change in the source of inorganic nitrogen at the base of the food web between the inter-island and near-shore realms. In contrast to the bulk ¹⁵N values, a significant shift in bulk ¹³C values of N. marionis was observed between 1984 and more recent years. This temporal change appears to be linked to changes in the overall productivity of the Prince Edward Island inter-island system, which could be linked to global climate change.Communicated by J.P.

A comparison of Lowry,Bradford and Smith protein assays using different protein standards and protein isolated from the marine diatom Thalassiosira pseudonana

Two spectrophotometric assays for protein commonly used in marine research (Coomassie stain, Bradford; alkaline copper, Lowry) and a more recent assay which has not been applied in this field (bicinchoninic acid, Smith) were compared for homogenates of the marine diatom Thalassiosira pseudonona using bovine serum albumin (BSA) as a standard. When homogenates were prepared by precipitating protein with trichloroacetic acid (TCA) and redissolving in 1 N NaOH, the protein content estimated by the Lowry and Smith assays agreed closely, but was consistently 20% higher than that indicated by the Bradford assay. To determine if this difference was due to the choice of a protein standard, protein from T. pseudonana was purified and compared to BSA, bovine gamma-globulin (BGG), and casein. The reactivity of the purified protein (expressed as the slope of the absorbance vs protein concentration curve) did not differ between cultures grown at high or low irradiance. For the Smith and Bradford assays the reactivity of BSA was not significantly different from algal protein, but for the Lowry assay, algal protein was significantly higher in reactivity than BSA. BGG was not significantly different in reactivity from algal protein for the Lowry and Smith assays, but BGG gave significantly lower absorbances than algal protein in the Bradford assay. These results suggest that BSA is a suitable standard for algal protein in the Bradford assays, while BGG is preferable for the Lowry assay. Either protein standard could be used for the Smith assay. Differences in purified algal protein reactivity compared to BSA could not account for the differences among the assays, nor could interference by chlorophyll a. Precipitating protein with TCA prior to analyses gave lower protein than direct analyses of homogenates for the Lowry and Smith assays, but no differences were found for the Bradford assay. As a result, the Lowry and Smith assays indicated up to 60% greater protein than the Bradford if TCA precipitation was not performed. This may be due to removal of free amino acids and small peptides which are less reactive in the Bradford assay. The 20% higher protein found in the Lowry or Smith vs Bradford assays may be due to different assay sensitivity to small peptides or other compounds which are precipitated along with proteins by TCA. Although the Smith assay is substantially simpler to perform than the Lowry, there appear to be no quantitative differences in the results. It remains unclear which spectrophotometric assay is most accurate, but the Bradford assay is faster and simpler, and is less likely to be affected by non-protein compounds found in marine phytoplankton.     

Diet and trophic position of Atlantic bluefin tuna (<Emphasis Type="Italic">Thunnus thynnus</Emphasis>) inferred from stable carbon and nitrogen isotope analysis

Stable ¹³C and ¹⁵N isotope analyses of scale, bone, and muscle tissues were used to investigate diet and trophic position of North Atlantic bluefin tuna (Thunnus thynnus Linnaeus) during residency in the northwest Atlantic Ocean off the northeast coast of the United States. Adult bluefin tuna scales collected from fish between June and October 2001 were significantly enriched in ¹³C compared to both muscle and bone across all months, while muscle was significantly enriched in ¹⁵N compared to either bone or scale throughout the same period. In muscle tissue, there was evidence of a shift over the summer from prey with ¹³C values (–17 to –18) that were characteristic of silver hake (Merluccius bilinearis) to species with ¹³C values of –20 to –21 that were similar to Atlantic herring (Clupea harengus) and sandlance (Ammodytes americanus). Depletion of ¹⁵N values in adult scales and bone compared to muscle tissue may be explained by bone and scale samples representing juvenile or life-long feeding habits, isotopic routing, or isotopic differences in amino acid composition of the three tissue types. Adult bluefin tuna were estimated to be feeding at a trophic position similar to pelagic sharks in the northwest Atlantic Ocean, while the trophic positions of yellowfin tuna (Thunnus albacares), albacore tuna (Thunnus alalunga), and juvenile bluefin tuna were indicative of a diet of up to a full trophic position below adult bluefin tuna. The close relationship between the juvenile bluefin ¹⁵N values and those of suspension feeders suggests that nektonic crustaceans or zooplankton may contribute significantly to the diet of bluefin tuna, a food source previously overlooked for this species in the northwest Atlantic Ocean.Communicated by J.P.

The importance of handling time for the flight directionality in bees

Summary Individual workers of the honeybee (Apis mellifera), trained to collect food from a patch of artificial flowers, were used to test the following hypotheses about the mechanism leading to a decrease in flight directionality when moving from one flower to the next. Directionality decreases with (1) an increasing amount of energy taken from a flower, (2) an increasing amount of time spent on a flower, or (3) an increasing profitability of the flower, i.e. rate of nectar uptake. The bees were tested singly on an arrangement with equidistant flowers. They could move from a decision point forward, right, left, or backwards to the next flower. The rewards at the decision point were altered. When rewards at this point were compared that offered the same quality of nectar (50% sugar solution), the time hypothesis (2) was consistent with the observed behaviour of the bees. When conditions were compared that involved two different reward qualities (50% and 25% sugar solation), none of the original hypotheses could entirely account for the results.It is suggested that a slight modification of the time hypothesis would be consistent with the observations: The bees might possibly forget their arrival direction on the flower with increasing time, but forgetting the direction of the last flower visited is intensified with more concentrated rewards.     

Ammonium regeneration and carbon utilization by marine bacteria grown on mixed substrates

We examined the impact of exposing natural populations of marine bacteria (from seawater collected near Woods Hole, Massachusetts, USA) to multiple nitrogen and carbon sources in a series of batch growth experiments conducted from 1989 through 1990. The substrate C:N ratio (C:N_s) was varied from 1.5:1 to 10:1 either with equal amounts of NH ₄ ⁺ and different amino acids or an amino acid mixture, all supplemented with glucose to maintain the C:N_s ratio equal to that of the respective amino acid, or with combinations of glucose and NH ₄ ⁺ alone. A common feature of the experiments involving amino acids was the concurrent uptake of NH ₄ ⁺ and amino acids that persisted as long as a readily assimilable carbon source (glucose in our case) was taken up. There was no net regeneration of NH ₄ ⁺ , even though catabolism of amino acids occurred. Regeneration of NH ₄ ⁺ was evident only after glucose was completely utilized, which usually occurred at the end of exponential growth. The contribution of¹⁵NH ₄ ⁺ to total nitrogen uptake by the end of exponential growth varied from ~60 to 80% when individual amino acids were present and down to ~24% when the amino acid mixture was added. These estimates are conservative because we did not account for possible isotope dilution effects resulting from amino acid catabolism. When NH ₄ ⁺ and glucose were the sole nitrogen and carbon sources, there was a stoichiometric balance between glucose and NH ₄ ⁺ uptake over a wide range of C:N_s ratios, leading to a constant bacterial biomass C:N ratio (C:N_B) of ~4.5:1. As a result NH ₄ ⁺ usage varied from 50% when the C:N_s ratio was 3.6:1, to 100% when the C:N_s ratio was 10:1. Gross growth efficiency varied from ~60% when NH ₄ ⁺ plus glucose were added alone or with the amino acid mixture, to 47% when the individual amino acids were used in place of the mixture. It is thus evident that actively growing bacteria will act as sinks for nitrogen when a carbon source that can be assimilated easily is available to balance NH ₄ ⁺ uptake, even when amino acids are available and are being co-metabolized.
