红砂(Reaumuria soongorica)黄酮类物质代谢及其抗氧化活性对UV-B辐射的响应

对荒漠植物红砂(Reaumuria soongorica)在UV-B辐射胁迫下不同时间内(0、2、4、6、8、10d)脂质过氧化、叶绿素和类胡萝卜素含量的变化以及黄酮类代谢途径关键酶活性、代谢产物及代谢产物的抗氧化活性进行了分析,探讨黄酮类代谢响应UV-B辐射胁迫的变化以及与脂质过氧化和光合色素系统的相关性。结果表明:随着UV-B辐射处理时间的延长,叶绿素含量有所降低;类胡萝卜素含量升高;膜脂过氧化程度(以丙二醛(MDA)含量表示)增加;黄酮类代谢途径关键酶黄烷酮3-羟化酶(F3H)活性呈现先增加后降低的趋势,但仍高于处理前水平,二氢黄酮醇4-还原酶(DFR)活性增强,代谢终产物总黄酮含量先降低后恢复至处理前水平,花色素苷(ANS)含量上升;DFR活性、黄酮类代谢产物ANS及总黄酮对DPPH清除率和对MDA形成的抑制率均与MDA以及光合色素系统之间存在显著或极显著的相关性。这表明次生物质黄酮类代谢途径在UV-B胁迫下发挥了抗氧化功能,提高红砂对在UV-B辐射下的自我保护能力。     

旧石器时代至商周时期贵州遗址空间分布及其自然环境背景(英文)

This study presents an analysis of the spatial-temporal distribution of 230 archaeological sites in Guizhou Province, Southwest China for three selected time periods from the Paleolithic Age to the Shang-Zhou Dynasties. The relationship between archaeological sites distribution and environmental changes is also discussed based on paleo-environmental proxies of δ18O and δ13C recorded in stalagmites from Southwest China. The results show that: in the Paleolithic Age(260–10 ka BP), archaeological sites were concentrated in the central, northwestern and southwestern parts of Guizhou, where the high-altitudinal karst landforms with many natural caves suitable for human habitation are developed. In the Neolithic Age(10–3.6 ka BP), most of human settlements were concentrated in the central, northwestern and southwestern parts, while, a fewer sites were found on river terraces in the southern and eastern parts, and the intermontane basins in the central and western Guizhou. During the Shang-Zhou Dynasties(3.6–2.2 ka BP), the sites were mainly distributed in the intermontane basins and on river terraces, which were suitable for primitive aerial farming. The analysis of paleo-environmental proxies of δ18O and δ13C since 260 ka BP suggested that climate fluctuations had little impact on human settlements in this study area. The distinct physical environment, especially the spatial patterns of karst landforms and arable land played an important role in the archaeological sites distribution of Guizhou.
