Abstract:
To study the structure-function relationships and the effect of the tryptophan residues to the CpeS of phycocyanin,two mutants,CpeS(W14I) and CpeS(W75S),were constructed.The lyase activity of these mutants were tested by reconstitution in vivo,to study the effects of tryptophans to CpeS.The results shows that:CpeS(W14I) has hardly lyase activity.Comparing with the wild CpeS,the lyase activity of CpeS(W14I) and CpeS(W75S) is respectively 8% and 76%.From this,it’s deduced that:the 14th tryptophan residue in CpeS may be essential amino acid to CpeS,and it may locate in the active site of CpeS.

Abstract:
In this paper,the meiotic process of pollen mother cells and the somatic chromosome number 2n=32 of Pollia japonica Thunb.(Commelinaceae) are reported for the first time.The chromosomes in metaphase Ⅰ possess the configuration of 16Ⅱand the secondary association has also been observed.During anaphase Ⅰ and anaphaseⅡ,lagging chromosomes,chromosomal fragments and asynchronism have been observed and the abnormality rates of both phases are less than 10%.The rate of fertile pollen grains is more than 90%,which is consistent with the cell abnormality rate at anaphase Ⅱ.These results indicate that meiotic process of this species is normal,and the somatic chromosome number 2n=32 is credible.

Abstract:
Genetic diversity and differentiation of populations of Thuidium cymbifolium between 3 planted spruce stands(PSS) and 3 naturally regenerated stands(NRS) were compared using random amplified polymorphic DNA(RAPD) marker.For PSS and NRS,the average percentage of polymorphic loci(PPL=12.7%,10.0%),Nei’s genetic diversity(HE = 0.042,0.027) and Shannon’s information index(S=0.064,0.043) were revealed by POPGENE,respectively.The results of population differentiation among the populations from PSS(Gst=0.592,Fst=0.639) and NRS(Gst=0.702,Fst= 0.695),together with the results of UPGMA cluster analysis and of principal components analysis showed that gene flow between populations was limited.AMOVA revealed a significantly higher level of population genetic diversity existed in PSS than that in NRS,which indicated that artificial reforestation after forest clearcut was effective in promoting the recovery of genetic diversity of the recolonized moss species.

Abstract:
To establish parameters for identification of the medicinal material of two types of Selaginella heterostachys,several methods,including the morphological,microscopic and near infrared spectroscopic ones,were used in this study.The two types of S.heterostachys differ obviously in the morphological characters,but there are few differences in the spore appearance,histological characters of the stems,and the near infrared spectra.The results provided basis for classification of the species and identification of the medicinal material.

Abstract:
’Wild cucumber’(Cucumis hystrix,2n=24) is a short-day plant.The hybridization between wild and cultivated cucumber(C.sativus,2n=14) is hard to be made because of their differential flowering time.In the present study,the flowering time was synchronized by short day treatment of the C.hystrix for over 40 days.The crosses were made between C.hystrix and three different genotypic cultivated cucumbers(C.sativus cv.Changchun mici,NC4406,and Erzaozi) and the hybrid embryos were obtained.Using our modified embryo rescuing methods,the embryo regeneration frequency reached 80%.The three interspecific hybrids have been identified through morphological characterization,chromosome count and aspartate aminotransferase(AAT) analyses.Varied levels of fertility were observed among these hybrids.The stain ability of pollen grains in C.hystrix×NC4406 was 23.3%,highest in the varions combinations,which implied that the hybrid Cucumis hystrix×NC4406 might be a better germplasm for transferring exotic genes at the diploid level.

Abstract:
Scientific survey and identification of plant species indicate that the seed plants are made up of 285 species(which belong to 103 genera and 33 families) in the alpine frigid zone in Shergyla Mountain of Tibet.Among them there are 236 species in 26 families,77 genera of dicotyledons and 4 species(in 1 families,1 genus) of gymnospermae,and 125 species endemic to China.Based on the analysis of the floristic elements from the levels of species,genus and family rank,the results show that:the flora is simple in geographical elements,evident in endemism,and lacking of the ancient and primitive forms in composition.On the analysis of family,genus and species area-types,the component of this flora is basically composed from temperate ones.It shows that the flora is not only of typical temperate character,but also of youthful character,so the flora is a typical alpine frigid one.Owing to the elements in the flora are mainly of Sino-Himalayan ones,so the flora is obviously with plateau and alpine floristic features.

Abstract:
Danjiangkou Reservoir is the water supplying area of the Middle-Route of South-to-North Water Transfers Project.To serve that purpose,the existing Danjiangkou Dam will be elevated to the level of 176.6 m(above sea level) from 162 m,and the normal pool level will be 170 m instead of the present 157 m.Thus,analysis for the composition and distribution of existing vegetation in Danjiangkou Reservoir Region will provide data for wetland management and water environment maintenance of the future.The present paper detected the distribution patterns and species composition of the wetland vegetations using TWINSPAN and DCA in the Danjiangkou Reservoir Region.TWINSPAN classification divided the vegetation into 14 associations,and their community characteristics were described.DCA ordination of samples revealed that soil type and humidity were the main factors influencing the structure and distribution of wetland community.The current floodplain vegetation in Danjiangkou Reservoir was dominated by Cy-nodon dactylon,Rumex maritimus,Mazus gracili and Echinochloa crusgalli.

Abstract:
The effects of temperature,light and pH on photosynthesis of Microcystis aeruginosa and Chloromonas rosae were studied by measuring their net photosynthetic O2 evolutions.The net photosynthesis of both algae increase with the temperature.The net photosynthetic O2 evolution of M.aeruginosa increased linearly in the range of 10-35℃,indicating that its optimal temperature might be higher than 35℃,while the net photosynthetic O2 evolution of Ch.rosae decreased dramatically when the temperature was over 30℃.The photosynthesis-light response curves of these two algae are different.The light saturation point(LSP) of M.aeruginosa was around 500 μmol·m-2·s-1 and photoinhibition did not occur when the light intensity was as high as 900 μmol·m-2·s-1,much different from M.aeruginosa,photosynthesis of Ch.rosae was inhibited when the light intensity exceeded its LSP of 630 μmol·m-2·s-1.The photosynthesis of M.aeruginosa,with an optimal pH of 10.0,was very active and stable in the range of pH 6.5-11.5.The optimal pH of Ch.rosae was 7.0,and any slight departure from the optimal pH would significantly reduce its photosynthesis.When the value of pH exceeded 10.0,its net photosynthe-tic O2 evolution was negative.M.aeruginosa has three important characteristics that are different from Ch.rosae:(1) a wider tolerable temperature range,adaptation to high temperature;(2) lower LSP,higher photosynthesis activity,and more efficient photosynthesis under low light environment;(3) significant pH tolerance,and high photosynthesis activity in neutral and alkaline environment.All these biological characteristics give M.aeruginosa great competition advantages to survive,grow and dominate other phytoplankton in polluted aquatic environment.

Abstract:
The effects of different storage temperatures on lignification and related enzyme activities of loquat(Eriobotrya japonica Lindl.cv.Jiefangzhong) pulp stored at 4℃ and 12℃ were studied. The results showed that phenylalanine ammonia lyase(PAL,EC 4.1.3.5.) activity, 4-coumarate coenzyme A ligase(4-CL,EC 6.2.1.12.) activity,cinnamyl alcohol dehydrogenase(CAD,EC 1.1.1.195.) activity and peroxidase(POD,EC 1.11.1.7.) activity of loquat pulp stored at 4℃ were higher than those stored at 12℃,while polyphenol oxidase(PPO,EC 1.10.3.2.) activity was lower.The firmness and lignin content of loquat pulp at 4℃ increased during storage,which results in comparatively serious lignification in loquat pulp.The firmness and lignin content of loquat pulp at 12℃ were lower than at 4℃,hence a lo-wer level of lignification in loquat pulp.The main factor for lignification in loquat pulp is that the low temperature caused higher phenylalanine ammonia lyase activity and peroxidase activity.
