甘蓝型油菜（Brassica napus L.）花粉和柱头的发育及其与自交不亲和性的关系

作者用扫描电镜、透射电镜和组织化学方法研究了甘蓝型油菜(Brassica napus L．)花粉和柱头的发育及相互作用,得到了如下结果： 一．甘蓝型油菜具有典型的同型孢子体自交不亲和性(Homomorphic and sporophytic self-incompatibility)。自花授粉后，部分花粉粘住在乳突细胞表面，随后萌发出花粉管，花粉管生长受阻于乳突细胞，花粉管表现出各种异常形态，缠绕卷曲(Coiled pattern),顶端膨大成基足状(pad-Like swelling),花粉管二叉分枝（dichotomous branching Pollen tubes），花粉管相互连接(connections of pollen tubes），有的花粉粒还形成两个花粉管。 二．不同时期的乳突细胞的扫描电镜观察表明： 开花前6—7天 乳突细胞壁内陷，柱头中央有一沟槽; 开花前4—5天 乳突细胞被有孔的块状物覆盖; 开花前2—3天 覆盖物消失，壁表面只剩下波状纹或小凹; 开花前l - 2天 乳突细胞充分吸水膨胀，呈指状，排列疏松，细胞壁上有一些小颗粒。此时的乳突细胞已发育成熟。 三.不亲和授粉时，花粉和乳突细胞均有强烈的胼胝质荧光。 四.乳突细胞的组织化学特点：缺乏淀粉积累，细胞壁和细胞质中有过氧化物酶活性。 五.乳突细胞的超微结构特点：细胞壁分为三层，蜡质层、角质层和纤维素层。粗面内质网成群分布在细胞壁附近，并以及泡形式向细胞壁分泌物质。缺乏质体，细胞核位于乳突细胞基部，细胞中央为大液泡占据。 六.花粉的超微结构发育特点：单核花粉已发育出内壁和外壁，外壁内层不明显。细胞核位于中央。细胞质浓厚，缺乏层膜结构而积累大量淀粉粒的质体存在于细胞质中。其他细胞器不发达。两细胞花粉时期，花粉壁接受乌氏体转运的孢粉素和含油体转运的脂类物质。生殖细胞没有壁，悬浮在营养细胞的细胞质中。细胞核大，细胞质稀薄，只有一些嵴不明显的线粒体。营养细胞的核显著，细胞质浓厚，线粒体发达，质体内部的淀粉消失，转变成嗜饿小体。内质网短而粗，遍布于细胞质中，高尔基体缺乏。 七.绒毡层积极参与了花粉外壁的建成。首先，它通过分泌作用把物质（可能是蛋白质）转移到单核花粉的腔隙中或在它后期滚解后，由分布在二细胞花粉间的粗面内质网合成蛋白质，转移到花粉壁内。其次，绒毡层细胞的质体层膜形成许多造油小体，至二胞花粉时，造油小体进入壁的柱状层，参与花粉鞘形成。第三，绒毡层细胞形成许多乌氏体，花粉发育后期，乌氏体与花粉外壁接触，将孢粉素转移到花粉外壁上。

羊草繁殖生物学特性的研究

羊草(Leymus chinensis (Trin.) Tzvel. )又称碱草，隶属禾本科，赖草属，因其营养价值高，富含蛋白质，适口性好，抗旱，耐盐碱，耐贫瘠，抗逆性强，适应性广等优点，对我国发展草原畜牧业和退化草地、荒漠化治理方面具有举足轻重的作用。近年来，由于自然环境变劣，荒漠化加剧，以及过度放牧等不利影响，加之羊草本身固有的“三低”问题（即结实率低、出苗率低、产草量低）已对羊草生物多样性维持构成了严重的威胁，严重限制了我国人工草地建设和天然草地的改良和沙化治理的步伐。加强羊草生物学研究，开展羊草种质生物多样性保护，成为当前研究的紧迫课题。经对国内外相关文献的查新发现：国外发表的文献匮乏，国内的报导大多集中在草原生态等宏观领域，在羊草繁殖生物学方面缺乏系统的研究。本文以本课题组从国内外收集的羊草资源为材料，从以下几个方面进行了初步探索： 一、羊草繁殖性状与遗传多样性分子标记指标的相关分析。利用分子标记与形态标记对随机抽取的17份羊草种质进行了种质评估的比较研究。结果表明：两种方法均在17份供试材料中鉴别出9份羊草种质,说明分子标记方法用于羊草种质资源鉴定是可行的，并具有快速、准确、不受环境条件限制等优点。在40个10 Mer的随机引物当中筛选出21个有效引物，以之对9份羊草材料进行RAPD 分析，共扩增出115条带，其中95条带表现出多态性，多态比率82.61%，并筛选出S1213-900，S1213-1700，S1215-5500， S1396-1370，S1384-900，S1202-5180，S1220-2200，S1381-1580，S1211-1300，S1211-800为羊草种质所具有的10个特异性标记，据此可将羊草种质与披肩草、赖草加以区分。同时在羊草种内亦发现13条可区分供试羊草种质的特有标记。形态标记与分子标记相关性分析结果显示：羊草种质的小穗数，种子千粒重，叶色，有性繁殖量和结实率5个形态学指标与遗传多样性指标---特有带百分率及遗传距离之间，存在一定相关性。同时对羊草种质资源在收集和评价过程中存在的问题进行了探讨。 二、羊草不同基因型无性繁殖特性比较研究。以本课题组从吉林、内蒙古等省份收集的10个基因型羊草为供试材料，在相同的生态因子作用下，以吉生1号羊草为对照，对10个基因型羊草的叶数增量、芽数增量、芽高度、芽间距、芽重量、根量六个无性系形态性状指标进行测评。结果表明：基因型的差异也是影响羊草无性系生长发育的重要影响因子。因此，在今后的羊草无性繁殖生物学研究中，应综合考虑环境因子和基因型因子对羊草无性繁殖生长发育的影响。在所测评的10个基因型中，各基因型的形态性状指标差异很大，栽3基因型较其他基因型优于对照吉生1号，此结论可为今后培育羊草新种提供重要资料。 三、羊草幼穗离体培养方法的建立。其方法是取羊草幼穗为外植体，经0.1%升汞溶液表面消毒后，接种到含2mg/L的2,4-D的MS培养基上，置于恒温25℃条件下诱导愈伤组织。在加有1mg/L2,4-D的MS培养基上继代2次后，转移到含1mg/L KT和0.5mg/LNAA的MS培养基上分化培养得到再生芽。在除去激素后的基本培养基上获得了生根的试管苗。试管苗移栽到温室后生长正常。羊草试管苗的分化因基因型和外源激素条件的不同而异。 四、羊草有性生殖特性的研究。在自然条件下进行了羊草自交、异交结实性实验，采用FDA染色法检测羊草小孢子活性，并观测羊草雌蕊、雄蕊发育的时空特点。结果表明：在大田中羊草异交结实率远大于其自交结实率;成熟花药中有活性的花粉达到92.2%以上;同时，在发育时间顺序和空间结构上，羊草的雌蕊、雄蕊并不妨碍自体授粉。因此，初步结论认为羊草具自交不和性。

羊草生殖生物学研究

羊草 (Leymus chinensis (Trin.) Tzvel. ) ，隶属禾本科赖草属，是欧亚大陆草原区东部的重要草原建群种之一。羊草是牧草之王，属于我国有比较优势的战略性生物资源，对我国北方畜牧业发展以及保护生态环境均具有重要作用。 羊草较弱的有性生殖特性限制了其应用，本文从实验生物学角度，研究了羊草有性生殖的基本特点，并试图通过现代分子生物学手段探讨自交不亲和性的有关机理。本论文的主要结果如下： 1. 实验发现羊草具有自交不亲和性。以6 个羊草居群为材料，测定得知开放授粉时的结实率在6.5% - 56.7%之间，自交时结实率为0.6% - 4.3%，差异极其显著; FDA 染色法检测结果显示羊草成熟花药中有活性的花粉达到92.2% 以上;在发育时间顺序和空间结构上，羊草雌蕊、雄蕊适于异花和自花授粉;花粉柱头亲和性实验表明，自交花粉只有5.5%-11.7% 是亲和的，杂交花粉亲和率达到了60.0%-84.8%，说明自交花粉在柱头上萌发受到抑制，其次，荧光显微镜还观察到“不亲和花粉”在进入柱头后生长缓慢，或停止延伸。 2. 初步确定羊草自交不亲和性具有配子体型遗传特点。以不同居群羊草杂交后的姊妹系作为实验材料，观察到自交组合的亲和率变幅为0 % - 6.9 %，杂交组合的亲和率具有连续性变异和变幅较宽的特点（47.5％ - 96.0 %），且正反交结果具有一定的一致性（88.2％），表现出配子体遗传特性。 3. 羊草居群内结实率存在一定变异。以羊草单株为单位分别进行自交、随机互交和开放授粉，结果显示三者的平均结实率分别为4.6%，18.1% 和35.7%，株间的变异系数分别为33.4%，21.2%和17.1%，这些株间的变异均达到统计上的显著差异;同时羊草自交、杂交和开放授粉之间具有一定的相关性，显示羊草的这种株间差异与株系本身的生理特性相关。 4. 分离了羊草硫氧化还原蛋白 H 基因(ThioLc)并对其功能进行了分析。克隆了ThioLc全长和cDNA序列。序列分析结果显示，DNA全长2257 bp，包括3 个内含子和4 个外显子，与水稻Thio h 的cDNA 序列相比，具有 32.0% 的同源性;Southern 杂交显示 ThioLc 在羊草基因组中是单拷贝;Northern 杂交显示 ThioLc 在羊草根、茎、叶和幼小的雌蕊中没有表达, 在成熟雌蕊和幼小的花粉中微量表达, 在成熟花粉中大量表达，说明分离的羊草硫氧化还原蛋白H 基因具有花粉特异表达特点。 5. 原核表达的ThioLc 蛋白具有较高的催化活性。构建了ThioLc 基因的原核表达载体，检测证明ThioLc基因在大肠杆菌中正常表达;提取表达蛋白，纯化，用胰岛素和二硫苏糖醇反应体系进行硫氧化还原蛋白的催化作用反应，结果表明表达的蛋白具有催化活性。这一结果为进一步搜寻靶向蛋白和研究该蛋白的结构、功能和作用方式奠定了基础。

Polarization Self-Modulation Phenomenon in a Free Oscillated Nd: YAG Laser

Polarization self-modulation effect in a free oscillated Nd:YAG laser is investigated after a quarter wave plate is introduced independently in the two positions of the cavity. As described in the previous experiments, the intensity components in the orthogonal directions are modulated with a period of the round-trip time or twice. Different pulse shapes reveal that the seed field from the spontaneous emission is not uniform and seems to be stochastic for each pulse.

Two-dimensional simulation of an electron cyclotron resonance plasma source with self-consistent power deposition

Using a refined two-dimensional hybrid-model with self-consistent microwave absorption, we have investigated the change of plasma parameters such as plasma density and ionization rate with the operating conditions. The dependence of the ion current density and ion energy and angle distribution function at the substrate surface vs. the radial position, pressure and microwave power were discussed. Results of our simulation can be compared qualitatively with many experimental measurements.

Mechanical effects of the self-organization of dislocations and related critical characteristics

The effects of the dislocation pattern formed due to the self-organization of the dislocations in crystals on the macroscopic hardening and dynamic internal friction (DIF) during deformation are studied. The classic dislocation models for the hardening and DIF corresponding to the homogeneous dislocation configuration are extended to the case for the non-homogeneous one. In addition, using the result of dislocation patterning deduced from the non-linear dlislocation dynamics model for single slip, the correlation between the dislocation pattern and hardening as well as DIF is obtained. It is shown that in the case of the tension with a constant strain rate, the bifurcation point of dislocation patterning corresponds to the turning point in the stress versus strain and DIF versus strain curves. This result along with the critical characteristics of the macroscopic behavior near the bifurcation point is microscopically and macroscopically in agreement with the experimental findings on mono-crystalline pure aluminum at temperatures around 0.5T(m). The present study suggests that measuring the DIF would be a sensitive and useful mechanical means in order to study the critical phenomenon of materials during deformation.

Preparation and Tribological Studies of Stearic Acid Self-Assembled Monolayers on Polymer-Coated Silicon Surface

We present a good alternative method to improve the tribological properties of polymer films by chemisorbing a long-chain monolayer on the functional polymer surface. Thus, a novel self-assembled monolayer is successfully prepared on a silicon substrate coated with amino-group-containing polyethyleneimine (PEI) by the chemical adsorption of stearic acid (STA) molecules. The formation and structure of the STA-PEI film are characterized by means of contact-angle measurement and ellipsometric thickness measurement, and of Fourier transformation infrared spectrometric and atomic force microscopic analyses. The micro- and macro-tribological properties of the STA-PEI film are investigated on an atomic force microscope (AFM) and a unidirectional tribometer, respectively. It has been found that the STA monolayer about 2.1-nm thick is produced on the PEI coating by the chemical reaction between the amino groups in the PEI and the carboxyl group in the STA molecules to form a covalent amide bond in the presence of N,N'-dicyclohexylcarbodiimide (DCCD) as a dehydrating regent. By introducing the STA monolayer, the hydrophilic PEI polymer surface becomes hydrophobic with a water contact angle to be about 105degrees. Study of the time dependence of the film formation shows that the adsorption of PEI is fast, whereas at least 24 h is needed to generate the saturated STA monolayer. Whereas the PEI coating has relatively high adhesion, friction, and poor anti-wear ability, the STA-PEI film possesses good adhesive resistance and high load-carrying capacity and anti-wear ability, which could be attributed to the chemical structure of the STA-PEI thin film. It is assumed that the hydrogen bonds between the molecules of the STA-PEI film act to stabilize the film and can be restored after breaking during sliding. Thus, the self-assembled STA-PEI thin film might find promising application in the lubrication of micro-electromechanical systems (MEMS).

Scaling relationships in indentation of power-law creep solids using self-similar indenters

We use dimensional analysis to derive scaling relationships for self-similar indenters indenting solids that exhibit power-law creep. We identify the parameter that represents the indentation strain rate. The scaling relationships are applied to several types of indentation creep experiment with constant displacement rate, constant loading rate or constant ratio of loading rate over load. The predictions compare favourably with experimental observations reported in the literature. Finally, a connection is found between creep and 'indentation-size effect' (i.e. changing hardness with indentation depth or load).

Frequency characteristics and dynamical behaviors of self-modulation in vertical-cavity surface-emitting lasers

The frequency characteristics of a VCSEL with a quarter-wave plate (QWP) and an external reflector are investigated with the translation matrix of the vectorial field. Two series of eigenmode with a shift of half the free spectrum range are linearly polarized, respectively, along the neutral axes of QWP. We also numerically explore the polarization self-modulation phenomenon by using a vectorial laser equation and considering the inhomogeneous broadening of the gain medium. If the external cavity is so short that the shift is bigger than the homogeneous broadening, two stable longitudinal modes oscillate, respectively, on the neutral axes of QWP because they consume different carriers. With a long external cavity, the competition of the modes for the common carriers causes the intensity fluctuation of the modes with a period of one round-trip time of the external cavity.

A generalized self-consistent method accounting for fiber section shape

A three-phase confocal elliptical cylinder model is proposed for fiber-reinforced composites, in terms of which a generalized self-consistent method is developed for fiber-reinforced composites accounting for variations in fiber section shapes and randomness in fiber section orientation. The reasonableness of the fiber distribution function in the present model is shown. The dilute, self-consistent, differential and Mori-Tanaka methods are also extended to consider randomness in fiber section orientation in a statistical sense. A full comparison is made between various micromechanics methods and with the Hashin and Shtrikman's bounds. The present method provides convergent and reasonable results for a full range of variations in fiber section shapes (from circular fibers to ribbons), for a complete spectrum of the fiber volume fraction (from 0 to 1, and the latter limit shows the correct asymptotic behavior in the fully packed case) and for extreme types of the inclusion phases (from voids to rigid inclusions). A very different dependence of the five effective moduli on fiber section shapes is theoretically predicted, and it provides a reasonable explanation on the poor correlation between previous theory and experiment in the case of longitudinal shear modulus.

Extended self-similar scaling law of multi-scale eddy structure in wall turbulence

The longitudinal fluctuating velocity of a turbulent boundary layer was measured in a water channel at a moderate Reynolds number. The extended self-similar scaling law of structure function proposed by Benzi was verified. The longitudinal fluctuating velocity, in the turbulent boundary layer was decomposed into many multi-scale eddy structures by wavelet transform. The extended self-similar scaling law of structure function for each scale eddy velocity was investigated. The conclusions are I) The statistical properties of turbulence could be self-similar not only at high Reynolds number, but also at moderate and low Reynolds number, and they could be characterized by the same set of scaling exponents xi (1)(n) = n/3 and xi (2)(n) = n/3 of the fully developed regime. 2) The range of scales where the extended self-similarity valid is much larger than the inertial range and extends far deep into the dissipation range,vith the same set of scaling exponents. 3) The extended selfsimilarity is applicable not only for homogeneous turbulence, but also for shear turbulence such as turbulent boundary layers.

Pressure Controlled Self-Assembly of High Quality Three-Dimensional Colloidal Photonic Crystals

A concise pressure controlled isothermal heating vertical deposition (PCIHVD) method is developed, which provides an optimal growing condition with better stability and reproducibility for fabricating photonic crystals (PCs) without the limitation of colloidal sphere materials and sizes. High quality PCs are fabricated with PCIHVD from polystyrene spheres with diameters ranging from 200 nm to 1 mu m. The deep photonic band gap and steep photonic band edge of the samples are most favorable for realizing ultrafast optical devices, photonic chips, and communications. This method makes a meaningful advance in the quality and diversity of PCs and greatly promotes their wide applications.

Micro- and macro-tribological study on a self-assembled dual-layer film

A novel self-assembled dual-layer film as apotential excellent lubricant for micromachines was successfully prepared on single-crystal silicon substrate by chemical adsorption of stearic acid (STA) molecules on self-assembled monolayer of 3-aminopropyltri
