Abstract:
The mdm2 (murine double minute 2) is one of the factors inhibiting p53 activity,and their interaction is important to hold cell survival. In this paper,mouse mdm2 gene was cloned from mouse 3T3 cell strain,and the recombinant plasmid p3xFLAG-CMV-7.1-mdm2 was constructed and confirmed by restriction enzyme digestion and DNA sequencing. Western blotting analysis and indirect immune-fluorescent analysis showed that FLAG-mdm2 expressed in p3xFLAG-CMV-7.1-mdm2-transfected H1299 cells,which was 60 kDa in size and dominantly localized in nucleus. The activity of FLAG-mdm2 protein was confirmed by p53 ubiquitination assay and luciferase assay. The result showed that mdm2 cell model inhibiting p53 activity is established. Our results would be useful for studying the mdm2 biological fuction in regulating p53 activity and interaction between mdm2 and p53.[Ch,5 fig. 15 ref.]

Abstract:
Endogenous hormones that occurred during flower bud morphological differentiation of the bamboo Phyllostachys violascens were determined by indirect enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Results showed that with development of flower bud morphological differentiation, the concentration of indoleacetic acid (IAA) and isopentenyladenosine (iPA) initially declined rapidly and then recovered gradually to a relatively stable value. Meanwhile,the concentration of abscisic acid (ABA) and gibberellin (GA) fluctuated but overall showed an updownup curve. The ABA/IAA,GA/IAA,and iPA/IAA values increased then decreased. In addition,the concentrations of iPA and ABA,as well as the ABA/IAA and iPA/IAA values for flowering bamboo were higher than vegetative bamboo with the concentrations of IAA and GA for flowering bamboo being lower than vegetative bamboo. Thus,flower bud morphological differentiation of Ph. violascens could be accelerated or inhibited by appropriate hormones.[Ch,6 fig. 15 ref.]

[Abstract](3431) [PDF](1136)
Abstract:
In this study,11 indexes closely related to the growth potential and ornamental value of 20 Guoqing chrysanthemums with small inflorescences in their growth stage were measured and their drought resistance was evaluated by an analysis of variance,a principal components analysis,and a subordinate function analysis. Results of the principal components analysis showed the indexes could be classified into 3 component parts with 7 indexes closely related to drought-resistance; namely,stress indexes of root-shoot ratio,underground biomass,number of branches after topping,flowering phase of population,flowering quantity,flower diameter,and the number of ligulate flowers. Using the average of subordinate function,drought resistance was also divided into three classes.[Ch,1 fig. 5 tab. 20 ref.]

2012, 29(2): 185-191. doi: 10.11833/j.issn.2095-0756.2012.02.006
[Abstract](3492) [PDF](1115)
Abstract:
In order to select optimal combination of provenance and phosphorus level for pulp wood and saw timber,a 12-year-old Pinus massoniana (masson pine) trial was used to reveal the main effect and interaction of three phosphorus levels (0,100 and 400 gtree-1) and five provenances (Wuping of Fujian,Gaozhou of Guangdong,Xinyi of Guangdong,Cenxi of Guangxi,and Chongyi of Jiangxi) on growth,stem-form qualities,and wood basic density (WBD). A randomized complete design with four blocks of twenty-eight trees per plot was used and selected 6 to 8 trees inside every plot. Variance analysis was done using GLM program in SAS sofeware. Results indicated that growth and WBD were not significant difference (P>0.01) for Wuping between three phosphorus levels,suggesting Wuping an excellent provenance with tolerance to low phosphorus. Gaozhou was significant increasing for growth with phosphorus level higher,and had a long duration to phosphorus. In the condition of phosphorus not supplied,Wuping had the significant largest (P<0.05) diameter at breast height (DBH) and height and was superior to the other provenances,whereas Chongyi was the worst,lower 19.8% and 12.7% for DBH and height than Wuping. Provenances from Gaozhou,Xinyi,Cenxi,and Chongyi had the best fertilizer efficiency;however,with Wuping differences decreased when phosphorus level were 100 and 400 gtree-1. For WBD Chongyi was considerabley lower (P<0.05) than the other provenances under 0 gtree-1 phosphorus level. The experiment also showed that provenance by phosphorus interaction was significant for height (P<0.01) and WBD (P<0.05). Based on the main effects and interactions,optimal combinations of Wuping under 0 gtree-1 phosphorus level,and Gaozhou under 100 gtree-1 phosphorus level were selected for pulpwood and sawtimber,repectively.[Ch,1 fig. 4 tab. 21 ref.]

YANG Xiao-jun, SUN You-fu
2012, 29(2): 192-196. doi: 10.11833/j.issn.2095-0756.2012.02.007
[Abstract](2930) [PDF](1125)
Abstract:
To know more about the bond layers long term properties between carbon fiber reinforced polymer(CFRP) sheets and the wood member as well as its connecting point,shear creep performance was studied using a consistent load with the Burger model. And samples were placed in dry conditions (temperature 60 ℃,relative humidity 90%) and wet conditions (temperature 24 ℃,relative humidity 45%). Results showed that the Burger model precisely simulated the bond layers short-term shear performance (correlative coefficient R2 98%). Compared to dry conditions,with wet conditions,the amount of creep was larger. Also,with an increase in thickness of the bond layer,creep deformation and stress relaxation increased. For high stress levels,a high creep rate,which could lead to a fracture of the bond layer,should be contained. Under the consideration of safety,a pressure (above 0.05 MPa) should be placed on the connection process between CFRP and wood to reduce the thickness of the bond layer. Also,in application,the shear stress level of the bond layer should be maintained within 50% of the maximum stress level.[Ch,3 fig. 12 ref.]

[Abstract](3469) [PDF](1142)
Abstract:
The effect of nano-ZnO,at concentrations of 2.0,10.0,20.0,and 40.0 gkg-1,on mold resistance and flame retardance of Pinus massoniana was studied. Results showed that both drug loading and mold resistance improved as the concentration of nano-ZnO increased with the time to mold initiation for the treated P. massoniana being 3-4 weeks longer than the untreated. The time to ignition (TTI) of P. massoniana treated by nano-ZnO at 2.0 gkg-1 was 7 s later than the untreated sample,and the total smoke release (TSR) with 20.0 gkg-1 was lower than the untreated. The treated P. massoniana differed slightly from the untreated in heat release rate (HRR),total heat release (THR),mass loss rate (MLR),and effective heat of combustion (EHC).[Ch,4 fig. 3 tab. 12 ref.]

2012, 29(2): 203-209. doi: 10.11833/j.issn.2095-0756.2012.02.009
[Abstract](2711) [PDF](1413)
Abstract:
The product structure was characterized by infrared spectroscopy (IR);the influence factors on alkali lignin based rigid polyurethane foam (RPUF) productivity were analyzed using the isocyanate index with the amount of foam,catalyst,and foam stabilizer as indicators;and the thermal RPUF properties were determined. Refined alkali lignin was obtained after chemical treatment of raw alkali lignin. RPUF was synthesized by the foam method using refined alkali lignin as the alcohol hydroxyl material and isophorone diisocyanate as the reactant. Results showed that RPUF was successfully synthesized with the amount of polyethylene glycol 400 (PEG 400),isophorone diisocyanate,methyl silicone oil,stannous octoate,and n-pentane as well as the isocyanate index all affecting ultimate productivity. Different composition ratios of alternative polyethyleneglycol alkali lignin affected the water absorption rate and thermal properties of RPUF. When the alkali lignin additive was in the 10% - 15% range,the synthesized lignin-polyurethane foam material parameters met industrial production requirements. Thus,this research could provide a helpful method for complete usage of unused raw alkali lignin.[Ch,5 fig. 3 tab. 19 ref.]

WANG Ni, PENG Shi-kui, LI Ming-shi
2012, 29(2): 210-217. doi: 10.11833/j.issn.2095-0756.2012.02.010
[Abstract](3209) [PDF](1544)
Abstract:
Remote sensing images show a very promising perspective for distinguishing tree species,especially those with the very high resolution ranging from 1 to 4 m. However,the traditional methodology for classifying land cover types,solely depending on spectral features,while texture and other spatial information are neglected,has the weakness such as inadequately utilization of information,low accuracies of classification etc. Considering to the texture differences among forest species,it is more important for spatial information discription of high-resolution remote sensing image to improve the precision of textural features choosing. In this study,the factors to influence the nine textural features choosing were analyzed and the results showed that the moving window size was the main factor to affect the obtaining processes of textural features based on the gray level co-occurrence matrix (GLCM) method,and the imagery was then classified combining the maximum likelihood classification (MLC) method with the original spectral values and texture features. First,this study utilized a correlation analysis of the images from a principal component analysis. Second,through multiple information sources,including textual features derived from the data. For the high-resolution remote sensing image,the most proper moving window size was determined from 3 3 to 31 31. Classification of the major tree species throughout the study area (the SunYat-Sen Mausoleum in Nanjing) was undertaken using the MLC. Third,to aid forest research,classification accuracy was improved using the GLCM. According to correlations among textures and richness of the data,GLCM provided the best window size and textural parameters. Results indicated that the texture characteristics were add in the spectral characteristics to improve the precision of the results of the classification,19 19 window for best window. The total precision can reach 66.322 6%,Kappa coefficient is 0.5840. Each tree species has greatly improved accuracies of the classification. By the calculation of R2 values,the textural features of mean,homogeneity and correlation were chosen to be best combination for the size of 19 19 and the combination of skewness,homogeneity and mean was considered the most properly for the moving window size 19 19. Precision assessment of different textural combinations showed that VA,HO,CR combination with optimal moving window size (from 3 3 to 31 31) could evidently improve the classification precision for high-resolution remote sensing image. And the combination of mean,homogeneity,skewness,and contrast texture factors correlation can effectively reduce data redundancy,which obtained the similiar results. In the texture features,the mean is the most important factor and impacts the classification of the tree species. This method could solve problems of forestry type classification,tree species classification etc. It is much better than traditional method of based on pixel values. This procedure effectively reduced data redundancy and could assist in tree species classification.[Ch,4 fig. 3 tab. 19 ref.]

Abstract:
Extremely dry climatic events could occur more frequently with future climate changes which,in turn,could exert a strong influence on the terrestrial ecosystem and its carbon budget. Soil respiration of a Schima superba-Pinus massoniana mixed forest was measured in Fuzhou National Forest Park,Fujian,China using an infrared gas exchange analyzer. Characteristics of soil respiration and environmental factors after a prolonged drought followed by precipitation were analyzed and soil respiration response mechanism leading to possible changes in environmental factors also was discussed to help us to understand the response mechanism of soil respiration to future extremely climatic events. The research designed four treatments:(1) no-precipitation and no-litter (NPNL);(2) no-precipitation and conserved litter (NPCL);(3) natural precipitation and no-litter (CPNL);(4) natural precipitation and conserved litter (CPCL). Results showed that litter contributions to soil respiration with no-precipitation treatments were significantly lower than with natural precipitation treatments (P<0.05). In natural precipitation,temperature sensitivity Q10 values had ratios of 2.10 for soil respiration to no-litter (CPNL) and 2.01 for soil respiration to conserved litter (CPCL);however,after no-precipitation,ratios were 2.59 for CPNL and 2.72 for CPCL,which depicted significant increase(P<0.05). With the no-precipitation treatment,soil respiration accumulation for no-litter (NPNL) and conserved litter (NPCL) was significantly less than with the natural precipitation treatment (P<0.05) in no-precipitation experimental process. After removing closed transparent roofs,with the no-precipitation treatment of soil respiration accumulation for NPNL and NPCL was significantly more than with the natural precipitation treatment (P<0.05). Our results suggest that prolonged drought decrease releases of soil respiration,how ever,only partly released as increased respiration during regain precipitation,which show prolonged drought perhaps was help to increase soil carbon storage[Ch,2 fig. 1 tab. 26 ref.]

[Abstract](3303) [PDF](1044)
Abstract:
In order to understand the impact of increasing woodland plant diversity on degrees of insect pest occurrence,plant diversities of different deposition models for Pinus kesiya var. langbianensis plantations and the occurrence degrees of the three primary pests:Dendrolimus kikuchii,Retinia cristata and Dioryctria rubella were investigated from 2009 to 2010 in Simao County and Jinggu County,Yunnan Province. Plant diversities in different plantations were denoted by Shannon index,and the species evenness were denoted by Pielou index. Insect occurrence degree were denoted by percentage of insect-infesting trees. Results showed that the Shannon index for mixed stands of P. kesiya var. langbianensis versus Schima wallichii,Betula alnoides,Altingia chinensis,or stands of pine mixed with hardwoods was higher than monoculture pine stands. However,tree stands of higher Shannon index dose not necessarily have a higher Pielou indices. The occurrence degrees of the three main insect pests decreased with the increased of Shannon indices. In Qingshuihe of Simao County,the occurrence degree of Dendrolimus kikuchii (y = -29.929x + 70.61,R2 = 0.966 7;y = -14.57 8x + 34.213,R2 = 0.974 9) and Dioryctria rubella(y = -8.872 7x + 20.627,R2 = 0.994 6;y = -8.652 9x + 20.215,R2 = 0.935 1) showed good linear relationship with the Shannon indices of tree layer,whereas that of Retinia crstata showed good linear relationship with the Shannon indices of shrub layer. (y = -5.672 7x + 14.964,R2 = 0.835 8;y = -4.4756x + 12.27,R2 = 0.838 1). In Wenlang of Jinggu County,there were also good linear relationship between occurrence degree of Dendrolimus kikuchii(y = -55.454x + 135.16,R2 = 0.954 1) or Dioryctria rubella (y = -23.895x + 57.907,R2 = 0.983 1) with Shannon index of tree layer. Appropriately increasing tree species diversity in plantations can reduce the incidence of insect pests.[Ch,5 fig. 3 tab. 8 ref.]

Abstract:
Severe degradation of a Phyllostachys violascens forest has occurred from organic mulch residues for years. To artificially promote decomposition of organic mulching material and promote regeneration of bamboo forest,seven cellulase-producing strains,including 4 fungi and 3 actinomycetes,from organic matter and soil of a Ph. violascens forest were chosen using a Congo red cellulose identification culture medium. A filter paper enzyme activity (FPA) as well as colony morphology and biological characteristics were used for the analysis. Results showed that among all selected strains,the FPA of Penicillium spp. (Strain 2.1) was highest. Optimal fermentation conditions were as follows: an initial pH 5.0,a cultivation temperature of 30 ℃,and a fermentation time of 5 d. The optimal cultivation medium for Strain 2.1 was chosen as:straw powder (25.00 gL-1) for the C source,beef extract (2.50 gL-1) for the N source,and FeCl3 (0.01 gL-1) and KH2PO4 (1.50 gL-1) for important inorganic salts.[Ch,4 fig. 3 tab. 20 ref.]

Abstract:
Organic biocides as timber preservatives have aroused more and more attentions,because metal salts especially arsenic,chrome and so on,have been suspected to be poisonous to the soil and aquatic animals,as well as the disposal of preserved timber wastes. Therefore,a number of effective organic biocides have been selected to prevent wood or bamboo from decay,mildew,stain and so on. Most of these products have entered into the market. With peoples increasing awareness of the environmental protection,organic biocides will eventually play important roles in timber preservation in the future. This paper summarized the studies on application of organic biocides as wood or bamboo preservatives,including resistant mechanisms,commonly applied types and effects against wood or bamboo fungi,approaches to detecting the amount of organic biocides in timber and their influences on the environment.

Abstract:
Selenium (Se) is an essential trace element,which humans and animals take directly or indirectly from plants. This paper reviewed the recent research progress on speciation of selenium compounds in plants,including the kinds of selenium compounds and their metabolic pathways,and the technology for sample treatment,separation,and determination. Organic selenium compounds are the major parts of the selenium speciation in plants. The technology of ultrasonic-microwave synergistic extraction combined with enzymatic hydrolysis is useful in sample preparation. HPLC-ICP-MS is widely used in determining selenium speciation. It is important to develop more standard selenium compounds and pay more attention to selenoprotein in plants. ES-MS,ES-MS-MS and MALDI-TOF can be applied to identifying the unknown selenium compounds. The application of IDA in determining both the metabolic pathways and the structure of large selenium molecules will be a major aspect for the future research.[Ch,1 fig. 3 tab. 39 ref.]

[Abstract](4089) [PDF](1424)
Abstract:
Fertilization with different ratios of nitrogen(N),phosphorus (P),and potassium (K),for growth physiology of Dalbergia odorifera seedlings was tested using an L9(34)orthogonal design and regression analysis. Results among the nine combinations,showed that for growth of height and diameter as well as biomass accumulation,0.45 gpot-1 N,0.30 gpot-1 P2O5 (N2P3K1) was best;for increases of chlorophyll content in leaves, N2P3K1 and 1.80 gpot-1N,0.15 gpot-1P2O5 (N3P2K1) were best;and for increases of soluble sugar content in leaves,N2P3K1 and 0.45 gpot-1 N,0.15 gpot-1 P2O5,0.6 gpot-1 K2O (N2P2K3) were best. For growth and physiology,P was most important,then K,and then N. Quadratic regression models of growth and physiology for two-year-old D. odorifera seedlings were established for N,P,and K showing suitable application amounts of N as 1.74~2.15 gpot-1,P2O5 as 2.40~2.60 gpot-1,and K2O as 0.35~0.75 gpot-1.[Ch,4 tab. 12 ref.]

Abstract:
Actinidia chrysantha is a rare germ plasm resource of genetic breeding,which is the one and only species having golden yellow flowers in Actinidia genus. On the basis of the community investigation,the species component,vertical structure,life-form,important value and age structure of the Actinidia chrysantha community are analyzed in this article. The results indicated that there are 77 vascular plant species,belonging to 56 genera and 34 families in 600 m2 plots;the vertical structure of the community is composed of tree layer, shrub layer,herb layer and vines,and the tree layer can be divided into three sublayers,the life-form is consisted mainly of phanerophytes,which account for 76.7% of total species. Analysis on the important value of the tree layer showed that the dominance degree of Actinidia chrysantha is the highest. Age structure of the population appears with stable type,but the population will tend to decline,which means it should be reasonable protected.[Ch,2 fig. 1 tab. 19 ref.]

[Abstract](3868) [PDF](1676)
Abstract:
To better utilize plants in the Magnoliaceae family,constituents of essential oils extracted by hydro-distillation from leaves of six Magnoliaceae species:Sinomanglietia glauca,Manglietia fordiana,Magnolia denudata,Parakmeria lotungensis,Liriodendron chinense,and Tsoongiodendron odorum,were analyzed qualitatively and quantitatively by gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (GC-MS). Results showed that 44 compounds were identified with the main components being monoterpenes and sesquiterpenes. The common components were caryophyllene,terpinen-4-ol,and -eudesmol,but the main components and unique components differed for different species. The cluster analysis for the chemical composition of essential oils showed obvious differences from traditional taxonomic classifications. Many constituents of essential oils from these six species could have a high value when used as spices or medicines.[Ch,1 fig. 1 tab. 18 ref.]
