祁连山海北高寒草甸地区UV-B的气候变化特征

分析祁连山海北高寒草甸地区2002年太阳总辐射（Eg）、UV-B及UV-B占Eg比例的气候变化特征。结果表明：海北站地区UV-B较强，日瞬时最高接近10W•m^-2，日总量最高达0．204MJ•m^-2；日、年变化依Eg的日、年变化具有显著的正相关关系。UV-B与Eg的比值（η），不论是日变化还是年变化表现明显，一日间早晚低，中午高，一年间6月最高，冬季的12月低，与太阳高度角的变化具有一定的正相关关系。年平均η约为0．54％，植物生长期的5～9月约为0．65％。在海北高寒草甸地区Eg和UV-B的年总量分别达6387．436MJ•m^-2和35．981MJ•m^-2。

长期增强UV-B辐射对高寒草甸植物光合速率和抗氧化系统的影响

研究了在野外自然条件下，长期增强UV-B辐射对高寒草甸3种典型植物矮嵩草（Kobresia humilis）、垂穗披碱草（Elymus nutans）和钉柱委陵菜（Potentilla saundersiana）光合放氧速率、光合色素和抗氧化系统的影响。结果表明：长期增强UV-B辐射对3种植物的净光合速率没有明显影响。增强UV-B辐射下，3种植物的叶绿素含量变化不同，Chla／b值，类胡萝卜素（Car）含量，Car／Chl值与对照相比都有升高，说明植物叶片的光合能力、吸收紫外线的能力增强以及忍受逆境能力均有增强，从而产生光保护，有利于光合作用正常进行。由于3种植物膜脂过氧化程度的不同及SOD活性的普遍抑制，植物经受了氧化胁迫。垂穗披碱草叶片GSH含量显著七升，矮嵩草的形态矮小及钉柱委陵菜GSH含量与POD活性显著上升，都能减轻它们所经受的氧化胁迫，使光合器官免受损伤。所以，这些保护性色素的积累和抗氧化系统内部的协同作用可能是高寒草甸植物光合作用正常进行的重要原因。

增强UV-B辐射对麻花艽叶片的抗氧化酶的影响

以青藏高原的特有植物麻花艽为材料,研究麻花艽叶片抗氧化酶系统对增强UV-B辐射的响应.结果表明:在UV-B处理初期,麻花艽叶片SOD、POD的酶活性都能增加,但随着处理时间的延长,SOD、POD的活性呈现下降趋势.麻花艽叶片CAT的酶活性在UV-B处理后下降明显,但作为清除叶绿体中H2O2的关键酶AP的酶活性表现为明显地增加趋势,说明在对麻花艽叶片增强UV-B辐射反应中AP起有着重要作用.MDA的含量随UV-B处理时间延长而增加,表明UV-B降低了细胞内活性氧自由基的清除能力,膜脂过氧化作用加剧,导致了对麻花艽叶片的伤害效应.

不同强度的UV-B辐射对高山植物麻花艽光合作用及暗呼吸的影响

以人工种植的多年生高山植物麻花艽( Gentiana straminea )为材料,在3个不同强度的UV-B辐射处理下,定时测定处理和对照叶片的净光合速率、表观量子效率和暗呼吸的变化.结果显示:UV-B处理对麻花艽叶片的光合作用在短期内有一定的抑制作用,但随着处理时间的增加,该高山植物能很快地适应强UV-B辐射的处理.表明麻花艽这种青藏高原常见的高山植物在长期的自然选择过程中可能已经形成了适应UV-B辐射的特有生理机制.暗呼吸的实验结果亦表明:在3种强度的UV-B辐射处理下,麻花艽叶片的呼吸作用从一开始就未受到抑制;随着UV-B辐射时间的增加,UV-B辐射强度越高,呼吸强度越强;这可能是 UV-B辐射并未引起麻花艽呼吸机构的破坏所致.

两种雀形目鸟类的窝雏数处理实验：检验Lack假说

于1997—1999年在位于青海省北部的中国科学院海北高寒草甸生态系统定位站进行。选择地面筑巢的小云雀(Alauda gulgula)和灌丛筑巢的黄嘴朱顶雀(Acanthis flavirostris)为代表进行窝雏数处理实验。根据Lack假说的预报检验(1)常见窝卵数是否是最大生产力窝卵数；(2)窝雏数处理对雏鸟质量和亲鸟投入是否产生影响；(3)两种鸟的响应方式是否相同。其结果如下：①小云雀和黄嘴朱顶雀的常见窝卵数分别是3和5枚。年间变化不明显，用幼鸟出飞率作为生产力，两种鸟的扩增窝幼鸟出飞率下降，常见窝卵数(分布频率最高)等同于最大生产力窝卵数；②小云雀的幼鸟的生长参数不随窝雏数的改变而变化．而黄嘴朱顶雀有明显变化．说明窝雏数处理对后者幼鸟质量有明显影响。③用递食率作为亲鸟投资指标，小云雀亲鸟的递食率随窝雏数的增加而增加，但雏期不变；而黄嘴朱顶雀递食率不变，但雏期延长。④扩增窝雏数后，两种亲鸟表现出不同的响应方式，小云雀表现为提高单位时间递食次数，而黄嘴朱顶雀延长育幼时间。这两种方式不是通过影响雏鸟质量就是通过影响亲鸟存活率来降低子代和亲代的适合度。结果支持了自然选择将窝卵数调节到亲鸟能喂活最大数量子代的限度。即常见窝卵数就是最大生产力窝卵数的Lack假说。

UV－B辐射增强对植物光合作用的影响及植物的相关适应性研究

综述了UV－B辐射增强对植物光合作用的影响、植物对光破坏的响应与适应性方面的国内外研究进展，许多研究表明UV－B辐射增强对植物具有破坏作用且能引起植物光抑制、光氧化和光损伤，植物依靠自身修复系统而对其破坏又具有一定的适应性。

增强UV-B辐射对高山植物麻花艽净光合速率的影响

在高寒矮嵩草 (K obresia humilis)草甸地区以太阳短波辐射为背景 ,建立了人工增强 U V- B辐射的实验装置 ,每天增补 15 .8k J· m- 2 的辐射剂量 ,模拟平流层臭氧破坏约 5 %时近地表面太阳 UV- B辐射的增强。观测表明 :UV- B辐射的增强对麻花艽 (Gentiana straminea)植物的光合作用无明显的抑制或伤害作用。相反 ,在早晨补充UV- B辐射的短时间内 ,叶片的 Pn 随 Gs的增大而有所提高。随 UV- B辐射时间的延长 ,约在 11∶ 30～ 12∶ 30 ,Pn和Gs有所降低。U V- B辐射时间进一步延长后 (约 14∶ 0 0以后 ) ,处理和对照组叶片 Pn和 Gs的差异趋向不明显。增强太阳 UV- B辐射后 ,麻花艽叶片的光合色素并无明显变化 ,U V-B 吸收物质的含量也无明显变化。麻花艽叶片厚度的直接测量表明: 增强UV -B 辐射能明显提高叶片的厚度。叶片厚度的增加可补偿增强UV -B 辐射后引起的光合色素的光降解, 改善单位叶面积为基础的光合速率, 是高原植物对强UV-B 辐射的一种适应方式。

增强的UV-B辐射对黄瓜（Cucumis sativus）不同叶位叶片生长、光合作用和呼吸作用的影响

在植物生长室中 ,黄瓜植株第 1片真叶出现后 ,用人工UV B光源照射 6 0d ,测定植物各叶位叶片的生长和生理活动 .结果表明 ,UV B辐射条件下 ,植物出叶时间被延迟 ;叶面积和叶干重下降 ,降幅与叶位高低正相关 ;叶片含水量降低 ,老龄叶片 (第 1叶 ,下位叶 )和幼龄叶片 (第 5叶 ,上位叶 )的水分降幅均高于成年叶片 (第 3叶 ,中位叶 ) ;叶片的伸展速度、叶片数目以及单叶面积减少 ,致使黄瓜总叶面积下降 ;植株节间长度缩短 ,是植株矮化的重要原因 ;根、茎、叶等器官之间的相关生长变化不大.叶片生长在其中起重要的协调作用. UV-B 降低Pn和EAQE ,对光合作用的抑制程度随叶位升高而增加. UV-B 辐射后,黄瓜叶片的光呼吸显著提高,增幅与叶片发育阶段有关. UV-B 对黄瓜第1叶的暗呼吸没有影响,第2 、3 叶略微下降,第4 叶显著升高. 分析认为,植株矮化和叶面积减少有利于植物适应UV-B辐射;水分含量和光合作用减少、呼吸作用增强是黄瓜生长受抑制的生理基础。

UV-B辐射对大豆和黄瓜幼苗某些生理特性的影响

在植物生长室中，UV-B辐射明显降低黄瓜幼苗的根系活力，抑制程度随辐射时间的延长而增强．黄瓜和大豆幼苗的叶绿素和可溶性蛋白含量减少与UV-B辐射时间长短呈正相关，但是类胡萝卜素减少幅度不大．UV-B对Chlb的破坏较Chla严重，导致Chla b比值增大．UV-B虽增加大豆幼苗的SOD活性，但降低大豆幼苗的ＮＲ活性及其对温度变化的敏感性．分析认为，Chlab比值和SOD 活性升高，有助于植物对UV-B的适应。

田间增加紫外线（UV）辐射对大豆幼苗生长和光合作用的影响

两个增加的UV (UV -AB, 280～ 400nm ) 辐射强度分别相当于大气臭氧减少3.6% 和5.1% 时增加的UV -B 辐射。UV 辐射增强明显降低大豆的株高、叶面积、干重、水分含量和叶绿素含量, 大豆生长受抑程度随人工UV 光源照射时间和强度增加而增强, 是增加UV 辐射剂量的累积效应, 叶绿素b 的降幅大于叶绿素a, 表明UV 辐射对大豆幼苗捕光色素的破坏较严重。同时, 增加UV 辐射还使大豆幼苗的表观光合速率、蒸腾速率、水分利用效率、气孔导度下降, 作用效果与辐射强度正相关。与生长等比较,UV 辐射条件下, 冠/根比值减少幅度不大。分析认为, 大豆幼苗生长和光合能力的下降可以使植物避免或减轻UV 辐射的进一步伤害, 对植物适应UV 辐射有利。

Detection of carbohydrates using new labeling reagent 1-(2-naphthyl)-3-methyl-5-pyrazolone by capillary zone electrophoresis with absorbance (UV)

A novel labeling reagent 1-(2-naphthyl)-3-methyl-5-pyrazolone (NMP) coupled with capillary electrophoresis (CE) with DAD detection for the determination of carbohydrates has been developed. The chromophore in the 1-phenyl-3-methyl-5-pyrazolone (PMP) reagent is replaced by naphthyl functional group, which results in a reagent with very high molar absorptivity (epsilon(251nm) = 5.58 x 10(4) L mol(-1) cm(-1)). This pen-nits NMP-labeled carbohydrates to be detected with UV absorbance in standard 50-mu m-i.d. fused silica capillaries by zone electrophoresis. in this mode, nanomolar concentrations of detection limits are obtained. The method for the derivatization. of carbohydrates with NMP is simplified. The derivatization reaction is rapid and mild in the presence of ammonia catalyst without further transfer steps. Nine monosaccharide derivatives such as mannose, galacturonic acid, glucuronic acid, rhamnose, glucose, galactose, xylose, arabinose and fucose can successfully be detected in CE mode. Good reproducibility can be obtained with relative standard deviation (R.S.D.) values of the migration times and peak area, respectively, from 0.44 to 0.48 and from 3.2 to 4.8. Furthermore, the developed method has been successfully applied to the analysis of carbohydrates in the hydrolyzed rape bee pollen samples. (C) 2008 Published by Elsevier B.V.

Diurnal and seasonal variations of UV radiation on the northern edge of the Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau

We monitored UVA, UVB, and solar radiation from August 2001 to 2003 on the northern Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau to characterize the diurnal and seasonal variations of UV radiation on the world's highest plateau. Daily UVB radiation and the ratio of UVB to total solar radiation increased significantly when the atmospheric ozone concentration decreased as estimated by the total ozone mapping spectrometer (TOMS), as well as when cloud coverage decreased. The UVB/UVA ratio also showed a significant increase when the TOMS ozone concentration decreased in the morning. The seasonal variation pattern of UVB, however, was closely correlated with solar elevation but was little affected by the seasonal pattern of the atmospheric ozone amount. Compared to observations from the central plateau, the magnitude of the UVB increase attributed to ozone depletion was smaller at the northern edge. The study suggests that the temporal variation of ground UV radiation is determined by both solar elevation and the ozone amount, but the spatial difference on the plateau is likely to be ascribed mainly to the spatial variation of the ozone amount.

Identification of phenolics and nucleoside derivatives in Gastrodia elata by HPLC-UV-MS

An HPLC-UV-MS method for simultaneous identification of predominant phenolics and minor nucleoside derivatives in Gastrodia elata was developed, which was based on their UV and MS characteristics summarized through a series of homemade reference standard experiments. Phenolics showed characteristic UV lambda(max) at 267 nm, [M + NH4](+) base peak in positive mode and [M - H](-) base peak in negative mode while nucleosides exhibited UV lambda(max) at 255 nm, [M + H](+), [M - H + 2H(2)O](-) or [M - H + CH3COOH](-). Phenolics conjugates mainly underwent the consecutive loss of gastrodin residue (- 268 U) and the combined loss of H2O and CO2 from the citric acid unit under negative MS/MS conditions whereas nucleosides simply lost the ribose (- 132 U) under positive MS/MS conditions. According to these characteristics, a special pattern under MS/MS conditions and reported compound data for G. elata in the literature, not only 15 phenolics were identified but also 6 nucleoside derivatives were identified. Among these compounds, seven phenolics and three nucleoside derivatives have not been reported yet from G. elata.

Lack of altitudinal trends in phytochemical constituents of Swertia franchetiana (Gentianaceae)

Diverse biological characters commonly vary with altitude in species that have a wide altitudinal distribution, partly at least as a result of adaptation to differences in aridity, but whether such variation exists for phytochemical constituents remains unknown. Therefore, levels of seven important phytochemical constituents of Swertia franchetiana (swertiamarin, oleanolic acid, swertisin, mangiferin, 1,5,8-trihydroxy-3-methoxyxanthone, 1,8-dihydroxy-3,7-dimethoxyxanthone and 1,8-dihydroxy-3,5-dimethoxyxanthone) were studied and statistically compared, using materials collected from sites ranging from 2200 to 3960 m in altitude. Swertiamarin was the most abundant in all samples, then mangiferin, oleanolic acid and the other three xanthones. Throughout the distributional range of this species, no altitudinal trend was detected for other constituents except 1,8-dihydroxy-3,7-dimethoxyxanthone, which showed a negative correlation with altitude. However, the concentration of 1, 8-dihydroxy-3,7-dimethoxyxanthone and mangiferin showed a significantly latitudinal and longitudinal correlation. (C) 2004 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
