Abrupt climate change：Debate or action

Global abrupt climate changes have been documented by various climate records, including ice cores, ocean sediment cores, lake sediment cores, cave deposits, loess deposits and pollen records. The climate system prefers to be in one of two stable states, i.e. interstadial or stadial conditions, but not in between. The transition between two states has an abrupt character. Abrupt climate changes are, in general, synchronous in the northern hemisphere and tropical regions. The timescale for abrupt climate changes can be as short as a decade. As the impacts may be potentially serious, we need to take actions such as reducing CO2 emissions to the atmosphere.

内蒙古鸟纲动物一新记录种——勺鸡

2000年10月在内蒙古赤峰市南部山地获得雌雄勺鸡pucrasiamacrolopha标本各一只,系内蒙古新记录种,属河北亚种P.m.xanthospila.该地区是目前已知勺鸡分布区的最北界,也是勺鸡分布区年均气温最低、年降水量最少、无霜期最短的地区.     

水稻花粉悬浮培养及其在育种上的应用

评估了２０个水稻品种离体花粉悬浮培养产生愈伤组织和再分化植株的能力，并进行了花粉悬浮培养试验，结果表明；品种之间反应差异很大。来源于日本的“黎明”（粳稻）最敏感。“黎明”植株再分化的频率达８４．１％。在愈伤组织的形成和植株再分化过程中，除其它一些因子外，基因型的差异有一定制约作用。通过水稻花粉悬浮培养诱导出的新品系“Ｎ１０”，其特征有：早熟，穗大，株高（９０～１００ｃｍ），产量高和抗稻瘟病等。

Structural and expressional analysis of a cDNA that expresses predominantly in rice stamens

The development of stamen is an important stage during the sexual reproduction in higher plants. Studying the genes that predominantly or even specifically expressed in stamens will aid in undestanding the molecular mechanism of stamen development. The structure of a rice CHS-like gene (D5) which predominantly expressed in anthers has been analysised, showing high structural similarity with two other anther-specific genes (A1 and BA42) fromBrassica napus. Northern analysis also reveals that the three genes share a similar expression pattern and that the expression of D5 may relate to the early development of pollens. It is concluded that D5, A1 and BA42 represent a group of diverged CHS-like genes which are related to stamen development.     

Effects of extracellular calmodulin on pollen germination and tube growth

The effects of calmoddin (CaM) antagonist W7-agarose, anti-CaM serum and exogenous purified CaM on pollen germination and tube growth ofForsythia suspensu were studied. The pollen germination and tube growth were inhibited or completely stopped by CaM antagonist W7-agarose. The addition of exogenous purified CaM stimulated pollen germination and tube growth, whereas the same amount of bovine serum albumin (BSA) had no effect. The inhibitory effects caused by W7-agarose and anti-CaM serum could be reversed completely by the addition of exogenous purified CaM. The tube growth of germinated pollen was also inhibited or completely stopped by W7-agarose. The results suggest that endogenous extracellular CaM initiates pollen germination and tube growth, whereas exogenous CaM enhances the above processes.
