In this study, a novel expansin gene PwEXP2 was cloned by rapid amplification of cDNA ends based on the cDNA library of Picea wilsonii and EST fragment of PwEXP2. It was found that PwEXP2 coded 253 amino acids, and putative signal peptides exist at the N-terminal, followed by 8 cysteines, a HFD （His-Phe-Asp） conserved domain, and 4 tryptophan residues at the C-terminal. PwEXP2 was located in cytoplasm and nucleus when transformed in an onion epidermal cell. Quantitative real-time PCR assays showed that PwEXP2 was expressed in various tissues with a relatively high level in needles and low level in mature pollen. The expression level of PwEXP2 dramatically increased after seed germination. Gene expression profiles in abiotic stresses showed that PwEXP2 was induced by high temperature and osmotic stress but not involved in ABA-dependent signaling path- way. These results display the important roles of the PwEXP2 in plant development and multiple adversity stresses.展开更多

One particularly noteworthy plant growing in openings in the forest, at woodland margins and on exposed slopes, was the recently described Meconopsis wilsonii Grey-Wilson subsp.wilsonii (Papaveraceae), a species previously known only from the type collection and last collected in 1908, nearly 100 years ago.展开更多

The changes o f neural function indexes were evaluated with Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS) before tr eatment and with Glasgow Outcome Scale (GOS) after treatment, simultaneously, th e parameters of hemorrheological indexes (HI), brain electrical activity map (BE AM) and transcranial Doppler sonography (TCD) were observed before and after tre atment.Results: In Group B, the clinical GCS, the HI, the BEAM and the prognosis GOS were improved much more than those in Group A. And the TCD parame ters in Group B decreased, which had significant difference compared with that i n Group A (P< 0.01 ).Conclusions: Wilsonii injecta can rapidly improve the injured p ersons’ conscious states, the abnormal BEAM and the surviving quality. It sugges ts that the improvement of the HI is related to the relief of the vasospasm of the arterial blood vessels in the brain, which may be one of the important mecha nisms of wilsonii injecta in improving the prognosis.展开更多
