The effects of different kinds and concentration of auxins for oriental lily somatic embryogenesis were investigated （Lilium hybrida var. Sorbonne）. 2, 4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid （2, 4-D）, thidiazuron （TDZ） and α-naphthaleneacetic acid （NAA） media with benzyladenine（6-BA） and lactalbumin hydrolysate （LH） were used for embryogenic callus in the darkness. The best response on embryogenic callus formation was obtained on MS media supplemented 2, 4-D 2.0 mg·L^-1, 6-BA 0.5 mg·L^-1 and LH 300 mg·L^-1. Transfer embryogenic callus to the media with TDZ, 6-BA, kinetin （KT） supplemented 2, 4-D. The highest number of somatic embryos has been produced on medium with 0.5 mg·L^-1 2, 4-D and 0.3 mg·L^-1 KT. Germinated embryos with shoot axes were changed to MS media with 6-BA 0.5 mg·L^-1. The results suggest that in vitro culture of somatic embryogenesis from lily bulb scales can be used for plant regeneration.展开更多

Pathogen invasion and the exposure to particulate matters in atmospheric air, particularly, cigarette smoke (CS), have been found to be associated with acute and chronic respiratory diseases, including asthma. Therefore, the search for agents that can protect the respiratory system against potentially harmful substances is of interest in preventive health. Lily bulb Nectar (LBN), which contains Lily bulb, Pyrus pyrifolia N., Siraitia grosvenorii and Apricot kernel as its ingredients, is a health supplement intended to improve the wellness of the respiratory system in humans. Lily bulb, Pyrus pyrifolia N., Siraitia grosvenorii and Apricot kernel are commonly prescribed for the treatment of respiratory tract disorders such as bronchitis, pneumonia and cough in the practice of traditional Chinese medicine. Pharmacological studies have shown that these herbs can produce beneficial effects on the respiratory tract or even the lungs. In the present study, we investigated the effects of LBN on mouse respiratory tract function under normal and challenged conditions. LBN was first examined for its expectorant and anti-tussive activities in mice. The effect of LBN on long-term exposure to CS was also investigated. Our findings showed that long-term LBN treatment enhanced the expectorant activity and suppressed the SO2-induced coughing in mice. LBN treatment also suppressed the CS-induced inflammation in the respiratory tract, as assessed by differential cell count and cytokine production. In conclusion, long-term LBN consumption may produce beneficial effects on the respiratory tract function in humans, particularly in the face of challenge by irritants in the inhaling air.展开更多
为了筛选出适合百合鳞片的总RNA的提取方法,本研究以东方百合品种Siberia的鳞片为材料,比较了Trizol法、改良Trizol法、RNA提取试剂盒以及改良CTAB法提取RNA的效果。结果表明:Trizol法、改良Trizol法及RNA plant plus Reagent提取试剂...为了筛选出适合百合鳞片的总RNA的提取方法,本研究以东方百合品种Siberia的鳞片为材料,比较了Trizol法、改良Trizol法、RNA提取试剂盒以及改良CTAB法提取RNA的效果。结果表明:Trizol法、改良Trizol法及RNA plant plus Reagent提取试剂盒均不能提取到完整的RNA;离心柱型植物总RNA提取试剂盒存在DNA污染;改良CTAB法能有效去除多糖,28S条带的荧光亮度是18S条带的1.5～2倍,D260/D280值都在1.9～2.1之间,D260/D230值大于2,两个样品的平均得率分别为103.57μg/g和119.21μg/g,说明此方法适合百合鳞片RNA的提取。RT-PCR结果扩增出了特异性条带,说明改良CTAB法从百合鳞片中提取的RNA质量高、完整性好、产率高,完全可以用于后续的分子生物学实验。展开更多
