Biological Effects of Stevia rebaudianum Induced by Carbon Ion Implantation

对甜菊 (SteviarebaudianumBertoni)种子注入能量为 75keV、剂量为 10 14 /cm2 的碳离子 ,研究其种子萌发期产生的一系列生物学效应。注入碳离子的种子萌发率略高于对照组 ,但种苗的成活率比对照组低 (P <0 .0 2 )。运用假设检验法分析 ,结果表明注入离子的种子出苗株高显著高于对照组 (P <0 .0 1)。萌发 4d的处理组 ,叶片细胞壁增厚 ,胞间连丝扩大 ,内有高电子密度的物质沉积 ,细胞质膜皱折 ,膜上有高电子密度的沉积颗粒 ,质膜向细胞壁方向突起 ,质膜上的颗粒通过胞间连丝转移或沉积于细胞壁上。上述现象可能与注入离子的过壁运输有关 ,也可能与胼胝质的积累有关。此外 ,实验组植物的叶绿体发达 ,片层结构明显多于对照组 ,两个质体发生中心同时存在于同一个叶绿体内 ;线粒体丰富 ,内嵴发达 ;微体内可见典型的晶格排列结构。这些结果表明 ,离子注入种子以后 ,种子萌发期的合成代谢和呼吸代谢能力明显强于对照组The biological effects during seed germination were investigated after the dry seeds of Stevia rebaudianum Bertoni were implanted with carbon ion beam of 75 keV and 10 14 ions/cm 2. The results showed that the germination rate of carbon ion implanted seeds was slightly higher than that of the control, but the survival rate of the treated seedlings, on the contrary, was lower than that of the control (P<0.02), while the height of the treated seedlings was significantly higher than that of the control (P<0.01). On the 4th day after germination, the leaf cell wall in the treated group was thick, some high electron_dense substance deposited in the enlarged plasmodesma; Cell membrane creased with high electron_dense granules deposited on it. The plasma membrane protruded towards cell wall, and the granules shifted via plasmodesma or deposited onto cell wall. These phenomena may be related to the conveyance of implanted ions across cell wall, or be related to the accumulation of callose. In addition, the implantation of carbon ions could increase the lamellae of the chloroplast and cause high development of the chloroplast which sometimes contained two plastid centers in an individual chloroplast. Also, the highly developed cristae, abundant mitochondria and typical crystalloid structure in microbody could be found. All these results indicated that the anabolic and catabolic activities in the seedlings implanted with carbon ions before germination were obviously more active than those in the controls.TheNationalKeyProjectofInterdiscipline ( 19890 3 0 0

生物行为变化研究的新模式——工蜂

蜜蜂群体由1只蜂王、几百只雄蜂和数千只工蜂组成,工蜂数量巨大,除蜂王和雄蜂共同完成生殖任务,巢内外活动均由工蜂完成,其行为呈现多样性。工蜂发育经过卵、幼虫、蛹、成虫4个阶段,其活动范围由温度、湿度相对稳定的巢内环境发展到复杂的巢外自然环境。随发育阶段和生活环境的变化,工蜂的生理、行为等方面也发生相应变化,这种变化为综合研究生物行为的分子机理提供了可能。又因工蜂数量多、体积较大易于观察、标记、饲养管理简单,而且目前对其形态、发育、生理、分子生物学、神经、社会生态等各方面的研究比较充分,所以工蜂成为研究生物体行为变化、发育机理和个体与群体关系的理想模式生物。该文介绍工蜂活动由巢内发展到巢外时出现的一系列变化以及部分变化的机制,主要包括行为的变化、激素的分泌、代谢活动、飞行能力、神经系统等

MODIFIED METHODS FOR DNA EXTRACTION FROM STRELITZIA REGINAE BANKS

由于鹤望兰组织内含有大量多糖类及多酚类物质 ,严重干扰DNA的抽提 ,利用常规的SDS法、CTAB法和高盐低pH值法都难以抽提出高质量的鹤望兰基因组DNA .本文报道了在进行若干预处理之后 ,再用常规的SDS、CTAB、SDS裂解的高盐低pH值法和CTAB裂解的高盐低pH值法提取基因组DNA的改进方法 .根据外观、琼脂糖凝胶电泳检测、D2 60nm/D2 80nm比值的测定、限制性酶切反应、PCR扩增的结果表明 ,用改进方法提取的基因组DNA无论在纯度上还是在完整性上都比常规方法要好 .其中改进SDS裂解的高盐低pH值法是提取鹤望兰基因组DNA的最好方法 .图 3表2参 18Strelitzia reginae Banks is rich in polysaccharides, polyphonels, and other secondary metabolites. Therefore, it is difficult to obtain high quality and quantity of genomic DNA from its tissues by conventional methods such as SDS method, CTAB method, and low pH medium with high salts method (LPHS). Modified procedures for DNA extraction from S. reginae are reported based on the above mentioned conventional methods, including the pretreatment of cell separation reagent to collect the nuclei and the use of β mercaptoethanol, polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) to inhibit the oxidization, and activated charcoal to clear the secondary metabolites, then followed by the original above mentioned methods to extract the total genomic DNA. The results showed that the modified methods were better than the original ones in terms of purity and totality of the genomic DNA. Among them, the LPHS by SDS cleavage is the best in quality, cost and simpleness of extraction. Fig 3, Tab 2, Ref 18厦门市园林局科技项目 (K990 2 )~
