荔枝花芽分化过程中多胺、核酸和蛋白质的动态

荔枝茎尖由营养生长转变为生殖生长时,多胺含量达到高峰(115.79nmol g-1,FW),该过程先于核酸和蛋白质的大量合成,表明多胺影响了DNA的复制、转录和翻译.成熟秋梢叶片不含腐胺(Putrescine,Put),但含亚精胺(Spermind-ine,Spd)和精胺(Spermine,Spm),其F/L的比值维持在1~3;叶片中可溶性蛋白的含量随顶芽或花(序)芽中含量的增加而增加,其相关系数R=0.9294,表明叶片含氮化合物的代谢对荔枝茎尖由营养生长转变为生殖生长及其发育过程极为重要.图1表3参19     

Amino acids during development of mountain birch leaves

Summary. The nutritive value of tree foliage for herbivores decreases rapidly with leaf maturation, due in particular to the decline in leaf nitrogen content. Since the amino acid content of plants differs from the need of herbivores for individual amino acids, we examined developmental changes in the contents of amino acids throughout the growth season of mountain birch. The contents of free and protein-bound amino acids, as well as essential and nonessential ones, displayed different patterns with leaf maturation, suggesting that total nitrogen or protein levels are poor predictors of the nutritive status of leaves. The contents of protein-bound amino acids were 100 times higher than those of free amino acids, indicating that the role of free amino acids in nutrition of herbivores is probably less important than that of protein-bound amino acids. Among protein-bound amino acids, both the absolute and the relative contents of two nitrogen-rich essential amino acids, lysine and arginine, decreased during early leaf growth, presumably reducing nitrogen availability in developing leaves. Essential amino acids were mainly positively related to each other, suggesting the co-ordinated regulation of their synthesis. Changes in correlations among individual free amino acids reflected developmental changes in allocation preferences between biosynthesis pathways with leaf growth.

Dominance,cortisol and stress in wild chimpanzees (<Emphasis Type="Italic">Pan troglodytes schweinfurthii</Emphasis>)

Field studies of endocrine function in a range of social mammals suggest that high dominance rank is commonly associated with elevated glucocorticoid production. This is puzzling, because in stable dominance hierarchies, high status is normally associated with social control and predictability, key predictors of low psychological stress. One solution to this problem may be that high rank is commonly associated with elevated energetic expenditure, leading to increased metabolic stress and glucocorticoid secretion. We conducted behavioural observations and non-invasive hormone sampling of male chimpanzees in Kibale National Park, Uganda, to examine the relationship between cortisol, dominance and stress in wild chimpanzees. Results indicate that male dominance rank positively correlated with urinary cortisol excretion in a stable dominance hierarchy. Cortisol excretion also correlated positively with rates of male aggression. We suggest that the relationship between cortisol and rank in chimpanzees may be driven by energetic factors rather than psychosocial ones. This interpretation is supported by the observation that urinary cortisol levels correlated negatively with food availability. These findings suggest that dominant chimpanzees experience significant metabolic costs that must be set against the presumed reproductive benefits of high rank. Metabolic stress may mediate the relationship between rank and cortisol in other social mammals.Communicated by L. Sterck     

900t造船龙门起重机主梁自重应力测试及分析

对某港口一台在建900t造船龙门起重机,进行了主梁自重应力测试研究。以测试主梁分段平放在胎架上作为测试基点,通过应力测试,得到了起重机主梁在抬吊过程中产生的自重应力和自振频率。结果表明,随着测试主梁两端提升油缸的逐渐加力,主梁跨中产生的自重应力逐渐增加,并与提升力成线性关系;在整个提升过程中,主梁自振频率维持在0.1Hz以内。

Processing of whey from dairy industry waste

An investigation carried out in 11 dairies in Serbia has shows that 78.75 % of whey, a by-product of cheese industry, is emitted into river systems, thus contributing to the organic pollution of the environment. This pollution can be avoided by processing of whey into food and pharmaceuticals. It is shown that low-temperature regime of whey concentration and fractionation, based on vacuum concentration and diafiltration, preserves whey proteins undenaturated, as proved by differential scanning calorimetry method. Functional native whey proteins based food products, with potentially high immunomodulatory activity, are obtained.     

Effects of sublethal exposure to a pesticide on levels of energetic compounds in Anguilla anguilla.

Abstract

The effect of two sublethal fenitrothion concentrations (0.02 and 0.04 mg/L) on the energy metabolism of the european eel Anguilla anguilla and its recovery from intoxication was investigated. Analysis of various parameters such as glycogen, proteins and total lipids was made on liver and muscle eel tissues after 2, 8, 12, 24, 32, 48, 56, 72 and 96 hr of fenitrothion (0,0‐dimethyl 0–3‐methyl‐4‐nitrophenyl phosphorothioate) exposure. Subsequently, the fish were allowed recovery periods of 8, 12, 24, 48, 72, 96, 144 and 192 hr in clean water, and the same parameters were again evaluated. The results obtained during the exposure to the pesticide as well as during the recovery phase were used to calculate the caloric content in both tissues of A. anguilla. A reduction in energy reserves in the selected tissues was observed after exposure to both fenitrothion concentrations and the caloric content in those animals was lower than in the controls. Most of the metabolic disorders did not persist after allowing recovery in clean water during a week.
