[ Method] AtHsfAla-silenced transgenic （NT） and wild-type （WT） A. thaliana seedlings were used as experimental materials to induce the formation of callus; the callus were cultured to single cells by suspension culture, subjected to cold stress, stained with DAPI, prepared into cell smears and observed under a fluorescence microscope. [ Result] Under cold stress, cell nucleus of wild-type A. thaliana displayed morphological changes, but no apoptotic bodies were found; apoptotic bodies were observed in AtHsfAla-silenced transgenic A. thaliana cells, and the cytoplasm was remarkably concentrated. [ Conclusion] Under cold stress, heat shock factor AtHsfAla exerted inhibitory effects on programmed cell death in A. thaliana, which was of great significance for clarifying the mechanism of stress responses in plants.展开更多

After the bulk temperature of the sterile saline irradiated by FIR reached a steady given temperature, yeast cells (Candida albicans NBRC 1950 and Saccharomyces cerevisiae NBRC 1067) or fungal spores (Aspergillus niger NBRC 4781) were inoculated and FIR heating was conducted. A mullite cylinder FIR heater, with a main wavelength of 4 - 7 μm, was used for FIR heating. Death of fungi by FIR heating and by thermal conductive heating both followed first-order reaction kinetics, and the apparent death rate constants under different temperature conditions were obtained. For the same bulk temperatures, pasteurization by FIR heating was more effective than thermal conductive heating. The activation energy for the death of fungi by FIR irradiation was slightly lower than thermal conductive heating, indicating differences in the mechanism of action.展开更多
