哺乳动物适应性进化的分子机制探讨——若味受体基因和犁鼻器受体1基因的研究

动物的适应进化是生物学研究的最基本的问题之一。虽然，人们早从形态学上研究了动物的适应现象，但是对适应的遗传学机制知之甚少。动物感觉系统对周围环境的适应是动物适应进化中的一个关键问题。因此，我们选取了动物感觉系统中苦味受体基因家族（T2R）和犁鼻器受体1基因家族（VIR）为研究对象，对哺乳动物适应性进化的分子机制进行探讨。通过生物信息学和分子生物学手段相结合，我们在哺乳动物6个目共16个物种中获得了157个的苦味味觉受体基因，并对这些TZR基因的系统发育关系进行分析，结果显示哺乳动物的TZR基因家族经历了"生一和一灭"的进化模式，即频繁的基因重复和假基因化。另外，结果还显示这些基因可以被分为3个主要类群，分别命名为A，B和C。有趣的是，B和C类群的基因在所研究的物种间普遍是一对一的直系同源的，而A类群基因则显示了种属或世系特异性。有可能B和C类群的基因是识别哺乳动物共同的苦味物质所必需的，而A类群基因则是用于识别具有种属特异性的苦味物质。这个分析还揭示了在系统发育关系上近相关的基因在它们的染色体位置上也是靠近的，这证明了串联重复是新的TZR基因产生的主要方式。此外，通过核昔酸的异义替换数和同义替换数的比较显示不同物种新近产生的基因所编码的受体蛋白在膜外区的异义替换数显著地大于同义替换数，提示着这些通过基因重复产生的新基因受到了正选择的作用。在自然界中，许多的天然有毒物质一般都是苦的，因此，我们推测哺乳动物TZR基因的分"化选择是为了使其在探索新的生活环境和寻找新食物时能够辨别出更多不同的有毒物质，更好地适应新环境。此外，我们还研究了苦味受体基因和甜味／鲜味受体基因的进化途径。结果显示苦味受体基因和甜味／鲜味受体基因在进化上具有远相关，并具有不同的进化途径，提示着这可能是导致了这些受体基因具有不同功能，传导不同味觉的原因。犁鼻受体噬因家族（VIR）是哺乳动物的信息素受体。应用生物信息学手，我们从大鼠和小鼠的基因组中分别得到了152和115个VIR基因。大鼠VIR基因家族包含11个亚家族，其中10个是与小鼠共享的，而M家族是大鼠特有的；另夕卜大鼠缺少了H和I亚家族，而这两个亚家族存在于小鼠的基因组中。系统发育关系分析发现，"生一和一灭"进化模式也在V1R基因的进化过程中占了主导地位。所有检测到的亚家族都出现于啮齿目和灵长目分歧之后，这说明V1R基因的多样性反映了这一基因家族在啮齿目内基因重复、丢失，基因漂变及自然选择等作用的动态过程。我们的分析还表明大部分不同亚家族下的基因簇爆发的时间接近于大、小鼠分歧的时间。此外，用最大似然法分析的结果表明在这些基因簇中异义替换和同义替换的比值远大于1，揭示了正选择在这些基因的分化过程的作用。一般认为V1R在动物识别信息素过程中起重要的作用，因此我们推测V1R基因的适应性进化是为了使不同的哺乳动物能够识别不同的、复杂的信息素。

抗顶体反应人精子单克隆抗体的制备和鉴定

精子从男性生殖道释放后必须经过获能和顶体反应，才能与卵子结合。获能和顶体反应后，精子细胞内和精子表面的许多大分子都会发生改变。利用这些变化，可探索新的避孕方法和男性不育诊断及治疗的新途径。本文将正常人精子于体外在BWW－BSA培养基中获能，用钙离子载体A23187诱导人精子进行顶体反应，以三染和金霉素荧光染色两种方法检测这些精子的顶体反应率为50％左右，然后用这些经顶体反应处理的新鲜人精子（AR sperm）作为抗复，腹腔免疫Balb/C���鼠，利用最近发展起来的半固体培养及普通的液体培养方法制备单抗。分别用未经任何处理的人精子（NT sperm）及上述顶体反应的人精子包被酶标板，用ELISA法检测所得杂交瘤细胞分泌的抗体，得到了近百株阳性杂交瘤，其中已克隆并得到腹水的有23株，并对这些单抗进行了以下鉴定：腹水滴度测定；抗体分类；与人白细胞系U937，Raji和Jurkat的交叉反应；在NT和AR人精子、树（左鼠右句）和小鼠精子上的荧光定位；单抗对人精子的凝集（SA）和制动（SI）试验；免疫印迹测定单抗相应抗原的分子量。主要结果如下：1.单抗与NT和AR精子反应的ELISA结果表明，有12个单抗主要与AR精子抗原发生反应（A组抗体），6个单抗主要与NT精子抗原反应（B组抗体），而另外5个则与这两种精子抗原都呈阳性反应（C组抗体）。2.在得到的23个单抗中，绝大多数（21个）为IgM，只有两个分别是IgC_1和IgG_(2a)。3.23个单抗与白细胞系的交叉反应强度不同。A组单抗的交叉反应有的较强，有的较弱，有的居中；B组单抗的交叉反应为弱阳性或阴性；C组单抗则呈现要么很强、要么很弱的交叉反应。4.所得单抗的荧光定位主要在赤道板和中段，未发现定位于顶体及顶体后的单抗，而国内外其他实验室已获得的单抗，主要定位在顶体。某些单抗在两种不同精子（NT sperm, AR sperm）上有不同的荧光定位。这些结果表明，AR精子的免疫原性是十分特殊的，它明显不同于NT精子。5.有9个单抗显示较强的精子凝集作用，另有9个单抗的凝集作用稍弱，未发现有精子制动效应的单抗。6.免疫印迹结果表明，有9个单抗的靶抗原是蛋白质类物质，其分子量为16－146kDa，其余14个单抗的免疫印迹呈阴性反应。有关这些单抗及其抗原的鉴定仍在进行中。其中10个单抗已送世界卫生组织（WHO），参与WHO的抗人精子抗原的单克隆抗体的研究计划。

INDIUM OHMIC CONTACTS TO N-ZNSE

The reaction between an indium over layer and high purity MBE grown n-ZnSe chlorine doped (2x 10(18) cm-3) epilayers has been investigated using X-ray diffraction, Rutherford backscattering spectroscopy, X-ray photoelectron and Auger electron spectroscopy, and by electrical function tests (I-V and C-V). Good ohmic contacts were formed after annealing at 250 or 300-degrees-C for a few minutes in forming gas. Annealing at lower or higher temperatures resulted in higher resistance or rectifying contacts. The data show that no compounds were formed at the interface; instead In appeared to diffuse into the ZnSe. High surface doping densities appear to allow an ohmic contact, but the electrical data suggest that compensation effects are also very significant in the formation of the contact. These effects must be considered for successful formation of the ohmic contact.

THE STUDY OF MICROSTRUCTURE IN IRON-DOPED AND SULFUR-DOPED INP CRYSTALS BY MEANS OF HREM AND COMPUTER-SIMULATION

The microstructures in iron- and sulphur-doped InP crystals were studied using both electron microscopy and electron diffraction. A modulated structure has been found in S-doped InP crystal, where the commensurate modulations corresponded to periodicities of 0.68 nm and 0.7 nm in real space and were related to the reflections of the cubic lattice in [111] and [113BAR] directions; they were indexed as q111* = 1/2(a* + b* + c*) and q113BAR* = 1/4(-a* - b* + 3c*), respectively. Single atomic layers of iron precipitate were observed, with preferred orientations along which precipitates are formed. Simulated calculations by means of the dynamical theory of electron diffraction using models for the precipitate structure were in good agreement with our experimental results. The relation between the modulated structure and the precipitates is also discussed.

Properties of GaAs single crystals grown by molecular beam epitaxy at low temperatures

Properties of GaAs single crystals grown at low temperatures by molecular beam epitaxy (LTMBE GaAs) have been studied. The results shaw that excessive arsenic atoms of about 10(20) cm(-3) exist in LTMBE GaAs in the form of arsenic interstitial couples, and cause the dilation in lattice parameter of LTMBE GaAs, The arsenic interstitial couples will be decomposed, and the excessive arsenic atoms will precipitate during the annealing above 300 degrees C. Arsenic precipitates accumulate in the junctions of epilayers with the increase in the temperature of annealing. The depletion regions caused by arsenic precipitates overlap each other in LTMBE GaAs, taking on the character of high resistivity, and the effects of backgating or sidegating are effectively restrained.

Excess arsenic in GaAs grown at low temperatures by molecular beam epitaxy

The structural properties of GaAs grown at low temperatures by molecular beam epitaxy (LTMBE GaAs) were studied. The excess arsenic atoms in LTMBE GaAs exist in the form of arsenic interstitial couples (i,e, two ns atoms share the one host site), and cause an increase in the lattice parameter of LTMBE GaAs. Annealing at above 300 degrees C, the arsenic interstitial couples decomposed, and As precipitates formed, resulting in a decrease in the lattice parameter.

Sidegating effect on Schottky contact in ion-implanted GaAs

The sidegating effect on the Schottky barrier in ion-implanted GaAs was investigated with capacitance-voltage profiling at various negative substrate voltages. It was demonstrated that the negative substrate voltage modulates the Schottky depletion region width as well as the space charge region at the substrate-active channel interface.

A STUDY OF THE COMPOSITION DISTRIBUTION AT THE TI/AL2O3 INTERFACE USING THE MCS(+)-SIMS TECHNIQUE

In this article, the MCs(+)-SIMS technique has been used to characterize Ti/Al2O3 metal/insulator interfaces. Our experiment shows that by detecting MCs(+) secondary ions, the matrix and interface effects are reduced, and good depth profiles have been obtained. The experimental result also shows that with the increase of the annealing temperature (RT, 300 degrees C, 600 degrees C, 850 degrees C), the interface gets broadened gradually, indicating diffusion and reaction take place at the interface, and the interface reaction is enhanced with the increase in annealing temperature. When the temperature increases, the AlCs+ signal forms two plateaus in the Ti layer, indicating Al from the decomposition of Al2O3 diffuses into the Ti layer and exists as two new forms (phases). Also, with the increase of the annealing temperature, oxygen diffuses into the Ti layer gradually, and makes the O signal in the Ti layer increase significantly in the 850 degrees C annealed sample.

利用亮度波形证明固态阴极射线发光

制备了3种结构的器件：A：ITO／SiO2／Alq3／Al，B：ITO／Alq3／SiO2／Al，C：ITO／SiO2／Alq3／SiO2／Al。对于器件A和B，在正向偏压（ITO接正极）下才能观察到发光；而对于器件C，在正向和反向偏压下都可以观察到发光。随着电压升高，器件B和C产生的蓝色发光相对绿光逐渐增强。这主要是由于SiO2中的加速电子碰撞激发Alq3发光层产生热电子，并与空穴形成电子空穴对，复合产生蓝光；而对于器件A，在反向偏压下被热电子碰撞激发出的空穴与正向偏压下从Al电极进入的电子复合形成激子，产生绿色发光。这些结构的器件发光不但可来源于电子与积累的空穴复合，而且也来自固态阴极射线发光。

景观模型初始化及空间分辨率对模拟结果的影响

近20年来空间直观森林景观模型取得了长足的发展并得到广泛应用，成为研究人员和森林经营者研究和探讨森林景观变化的有效工具之一。然而，在应用模型的时候，初始化方法和运行尺度问题是影响模型应用和模拟结果的重要因素。本文应用空间直观森林景观模型LANDIS系统地研究了不同的初始化方法和空间分辨率对森林演替、火干扰和森林管理模拟的影响。主要结论如下： 1）不同的赋值方法对初始的物种分布面积和空间格局都有显著的影响，但是随着模拟时间的推移演替的进行，两种赋值方法下的物种分布面积和空间格局以及火干扰的差异在减小，在模拟的中后期趋近一致。所以，从模拟时间上来说，如果模拟的时间相对较长（＞300年），两种赋值方法都可以作为模型的初始化方法；但是，如果模拟的时间相对较短（ ≤300年），赋值方法 B 将是一种很好的选择，因为它避免了赋值方法 A 在模拟初期物种分布面积、格局和火干扰的波动过程。 2） 模型在空间分辨率为30-270m的范围内，对分辨率的变化不敏感，随着空间分辨率的降低，分辨率的变化对模拟的火干扰、物种分布面积和空间格局有显著影响。空间分辨率的下降导致景观的同质性增强，尤其是当分辨率小于270m时，导致林火频次和过火面积过大。模型在较高空间分辨率上模拟森林演替的结果与现实情况和相关模拟研究结果相近。因此，运行LANDIS模型空间分辨率应该高于270m。 3） 模型在30-270m的空间分辨率范围内模拟采伐造林措施的时候，物种分布面积的模拟对分辨率的变化不敏感，但是，分辨率的变化对物种空间格局有较大影响，随着空间分辨率的下降，物种在高分辨率上的聚集水平大于低分辨率上的聚集水平。

三面压缩进气道三维激波相干研究

三面压缩式高超声速进气道在侧压式进气道的基础上加入顶面压缩，理论上具有的更短的压缩距离，从而有利于超声速飞行器的整体设计。该进气道不同于传统的顶压式进气道和侧压式进气道，由于其压缩激波在竖直和水平方向都存在，因此出现三维空间的激波相交和反射，造成流场复杂度大大增加，而其也直接影响了进气道设计构型与波系的相对位置关系及进气道性能。\newline 三面压缩进气道由于顶板与侧板两个方向压缩，在顶板与侧板相交线附近区域，激波并不是简单的二维平面激波结构。顶压激波和侧压激波相交后，在波型上产生了明显的变化。在角区的激波相干后的波系结构：顶板激波与侧壁激波相交后，都变得不再连续，即在相互"穿越"的过程中发生了"断裂"，出现了过渡的桥波2。然而对该相干结构的认识目前也仅限于此，其流动的特征,对进气道性能的影响以及如何规划三面压缩进气道设计构型都还需要深入的探索。忽略激波边界层干扰，专注于激波相干现象本身，对于这种三维激波相干结构开展了无黏数值分析研究，探索了其关键影响因素，理论分析了其相干特征。\newline 本文分析认为角区波系可分成$A$，$B$，$C$，$D$，$E$5个部分，$A$为未经激波压缩的区域；$B$为只经过顶压激波3压缩的区域：$C$为只经过侧压激波1压缩的区域；$D$为经过顶压激波3和侧压激波1共同压缩的区域；$E$为过桥波2压缩的区域。对于顶压激波来说，$B$区域的气体与$D$区域的气体参数并不相同，因为$D$区域的气体还经过了侧压激波的压缩，因此在相同的气流转角下，$D$区域的顶板激波角大于$B$区域的顶板激波角，所以顶压激波在穿越侧压激波后发生了"断裂"，7的位置高于3的位置；同理，侧压激波穿越顶压激波后，4的位置也会向对称面移动，侧压激波也发生"断裂"。基于以上物理模型，应用二维激波关系，探索性给出的三维激波相干位置的无黏近似计算方法。\newline 数值研究进一步发现相干结构产生的桥波区域为低总压区，对进气道总压恢复系数不利。

川西亚高山人工针叶林下11种植物对两种光生境的适应性研究

青藏高原东缘的亚高山针叶林是长江上游重要的生态屏障，经过近六十年的采伐后，取而代之的是大量人工种植的云杉纯林。目前，这些人工林已经表现出树种单一，结构层次简单等生态问题，其物种多样性及生态效益与同地带天然林相比差距较明显。如何丰富该地区物种多样性，完善人工林生态系统的生态功能是一个十分重要的课题。林下植物是人工林群落的重要组成部分，对维持群落的生物多样性及完善生态系统功能具有明显的作用。因此，研究该地区人工针叶林的林下植被对不同生境的适应性对于理解人工林生态系统物种多样性的形成和维持机制都具有重要的意义。 本文以青藏高原东部亚高山针叶林的主要森林类型----云杉人工林为研究对象，选择林下11种具有不同喜光特性的常见植物，分别设置人工林林冠下及成熟林窗为研究样地，通过对各种植物叶片形态与物质分配特征、叶片解剖学特征、叶片光合生理特性、植物自然分布特征等方面的比较分析，研究林下植物对不同光生境的适应策略及其适应能力，揭示不同物种对人工林生境的适应共性，为西南亚高山地区植被恢复及人工林的经营管理提供科学依据。具体研究结果如下： 在叶片形态和物质分配特征方面：在林窗光生境中，11种林下植物叶片比叶重(LMA)显著高于林下光生境的同种植物。同时，林窗下生长的植物叶片叶片厚度及栅栏细胞长度显著增加，这是影响叶片比叶重变化的直接原因。而多数植物叶重比在两种生境中无明显变化。说明在长期适应自然生境之后，植物可能更多地采取调节叶片组织细胞水平（即叶片功能细胞形态）及叶片器官水平（即单个叶片形态）特征的策略来适应各类生境，而非整株水平上的叶片总比重的增减。 在叶片解剖结构特征方面：多数阔叶物种栅栏组织厚度(PT)、栅栏组织厚度/海绵组织厚度(PT/ST)、栅栏细胞层数及近半数种的气孔密度(SD)在林窗生境中更大或更多，而叶片表皮细胞厚度(UET、LET)气孔长径(SL)及海绵组织厚度(ST)受两种生境影响不大。喜光特性相似的物种在生境适应策略上具有一定的趋同性。 在光合生理特征方面：在林窗生境中多数种植物的最大光合速率(Amax)、暗呼吸速率(Rd)及喜光植物光补偿点(LCP)显著或极显著高于林内生境同种植物。且在同一生境条件下，多数深度耐荫植物比喜光及轻度喜光植物有稍低的Rd和LCP。各植物在林内低光生境中具有更大的内禀光能转化效率，并在中午12:00～14:00之间光强最大的时刻发生了的最深程度的光抑制。多数种能通过调节自身某种光合素含量或色素之间的比例来适应不同的光生境，即通过增加叶绿素含量或降低Chla/b值来适应林内弱光生境，通过提高类胡萝卜素含量或单位叶绿素的类胡萝卜素含量降低强光带来的伤害。绝大多数物种并不采取调节叶片C、N含量的策略来适应不同的光生境。总之，植物部分光合参数(Amax、Rd、LCP)受生境的影响与其自身喜光特性有关，但另一些参数（Fv/Fm日变化、色素含量及比例、叶氮相对含量）受生境影响与其自身喜光特性无明显关联。 在表型可塑性方面：在叶片各表型参数中，器官水平及细胞水平的形态特征参数平均可塑性大于整株水平形态和物质分配特征参数可塑性；叶片光合组织的可塑性大于非光合组织可塑性；反映植物光合能力的参数可塑性大于叶片色素含量参数可塑性。植物叶片形态和物质分配、解剖学特征参数平均可塑性大小与其自身喜光特性基本吻合，即喜光种及轻度耐荫种各参数可塑性最高，深度耐荫种可塑性最小，而这种规律并未在光合生理参数的可塑性大小上体现出来。但是叶片形态和物质分配参数、光合生理参数的平均可塑性水平却大于叶片解剖学参数。 在植物自然分布特征方面：喜光物种云杉幼苗及歪头菜在林内生境中分布密度明显降低，深度耐荫种疏花槭却恰恰相反，更多数物种（7种植物）在两种生境中密度变化趋势不明显。从分布格局来看，7种植物在两种生境中均为聚集分布，但聚集强度为林窗>林内；少数物种桦叶荚迷、直穗小檗、冰川茶藨、黄背勾儿茶在林窗中为聚集型，在林内生境中的分布型发生改变而成为随机型，说明光生境的差异能影响到植物种群的分布特征。但这种影响程度与植物自身的喜光特性无关，同时与各物种叶片表型平均可塑性的大小也无明显关联。 The subalpine coniferous forest area in eastern Qinghai-Tibet Plateau is important ecology-barrier of upriver Yangtze. In past sixty years, those forests had been cut down and replaced with a lot of spruce plantations. At now, there are many ecology problems presenting to us such as singleness species, simple configuration, lower species diversity and ecological benefit than natural forests at the same belt. How to restore the species diversity and enhance the eco-function of the plantations is a very important issue. The understory plants are important part of plantation community, which improved the bio-diversity and eco-function distinctly of forests. So, it is very significance to study the adaptation of understory plants to different environment in plantation, and this study would helping us to understand how plantations to develop and remain their biodiversity. This study was conducted in a 60a spruce plantation in Miyaluo located in western Sichuan, China, and spruce plantation is major types of subalpine coniferous forest in eastern Qinghai-Tibet Plateau. In this paper, the leaf morphological and biomass-distributed characteristics, the anatomical characteristics, the photosynthetic characteristics and the distribution patterns characteristics of eleven different light-requirement understory species grown in two different environments (forest gaps and underneath close canopy) were studied and compared. The purpose of this study was to analyze the adaptation of this forest understory plants, to show up the commonness of these different light-requirement understory species in light acclimation, and to provide some scientific reference to manage and restore the vegetation of subalpine plantation of southwest China. The results were as follows: The leaf morphological and biomass-distributed characteristics: These eleven species in forest gaps had significantly higher dry weight per leaf area (LMA) than those under close canopy. The palisade parenchyma cells of the broad-leaved species in gaps were significantly longer than those grown under the canopy, which been a directed factor for the change of leaf mass per unit area (LMA) in different environment. But the leaf weight ratio (LWR) of most plants species were not evidently changed by the contrasted environments in our study. It was shown the morphological characteristics changing been adopted as a strategy of light acclimation for plants wasn’t on whole plant level (leaf weight ratio) but cellular level (the function cells morphological characteristics) and organic level (the leaf morphological and biomass-distributed characteristics) mostly. The leaf anatomical characteristics: Most broad-leaved plants in gaps increased palisade parenchyma thickness (PT), the palisade parenchyma cell layers and the ratio of palisade to spongy parenchyma (PT/ST). So did as almost about half species in this study in stomatal density (SD). No significant differences in thickness of leaf epidermal cells (UET, LET), stomatal length (SL) and spongy parenchyma (ST) between two environments of most species were observed. The results suggested that species with light-requirement approximately had convergent evolution on adaptation to light condition. The leaf photosynthetic characteristics: The dark respiration rate (Rd) of most plants species, the light compensation point (LCP) of light-demanding plants species in gaps were significantly increased than under close canopy in this study. In a same habitat, most deep-shade-tolerant plants had lower Rd and LCP than those light-demanding plants and slight-shade-tolerant plants. Each species has bigger inherent electron transport rate under close canopy than in gaps, and the greatest photoinhibition happened during 12 to 14 in the daytime. Most species could adapt different light environment by the way of changing their photosynthetic pigments content or the ratio of pigments content. For example, some plants under close canopy increased chlorophyll (Chl) or reduced the values of the ratio Chla/b to adapted the low light condition, some plants in gaps increased carotenoid (Car) or reduced the weight ratio CarChl to avoid been hurt in high light. For most plants, changing the content of C and N in leaf wasn’t a strategy of light acclimation. In conclusion, the variation of some leaf photosynthetic parameters in different light environment such as Fv/Fm, pigments, C and N in leaf related with the light-requirmnet of species, but the others such as Amax, Rd, LCP did not. The leaf plasticity indexes: Among those leaf plasticity indexes, the leaf morphological and biomass-distributed parameters on cellular and organic level were greater than on whole plant level for same species, and the photosynthetic parenchyma parameters were greater than non-photosynthetic parenchyma parameters in same leaf, and photosynthetic capability parameters were greater than photosynthetic pigments content parameters for same species. The average plasticity indexes of leaf morphological and biomass-distributed and anatomical parameters were accordant with plants’ light-requirement approximately: those light-demanding plants and slight-shade-tolerant plants had bigger plasticity indexes than deep-shade-tolerant plants. But this regular wasn’t observed in physiological plasticity indexes for most plants, though the average leaf plasticity indexes of leaf morphological and biomass-distributed, photosynthetic characteristics parameters was greater than the anatomical characteristics parameters. The distribution patterns characteristics: Oppositely to the deep-shade-tolerant specie Acer laxiflorum Pax., the density of light-demanding species Picea asperata Mast. and Vicia unijuga A. Br. in gaps was bigger than under close canopy. Each of the other species has the approximately density in two different environment. The spatial patterns of seven species were aggregated distribution in two environments, but the trend of aggregation of population under close canopy was decrease from in gaps. A few species such as Viburnum betulifoium Batal., Berberis dasystachya Maxim., Ribes glaciale Wall. and Berchemia flavescens Brongn. were aggregated distribution in gaps while random distribution under close canopy. It was shown that the difference between two light environments could affect the distribution pattern of plant population, and the effect didn’t relate with the light-requirement or plasticity indexes of species.
