Effect of NaCl on leaf salt secretion and antioxidative enzyme level in roots of a mangrove, Aegiceras corniculatum.

Short-term salt (NaCl) treatment on Aegiceras corniculatum in roots and leaves showed no change in fresh and dry weight of leaves, roots and leaf area. There was no significant change in total soluble root protein, photosynthetic pigments of leaves and spectral characteristics of thylakoids. However, the activity of antioxidative enzymes (catalase, ascorbate peroxidase and guaiacol peroxidase) in roots decreased by 72, 58 and 80% respectively after 96 hr of treatment (300 mM of NaCl). Secretion of salts from the leaf salt glands and salt accumulation on upper surface of the leaves were quantified that revealed linear increase of salt secretion of leaf with increase in period of salt treatment. It was concluded that loss of activities of antioxidative enzymes at high salt treatment, caused leaf senescence in spite of high rates of salt secretion by Aegiceras corniculatum.

[Clonal architecture and ramet population characteristics of Lysimachia congestiflora growing under different light conditions].

The response of clonal architecture and ramet population characteristics to resource heterogeneity is of great ecological significance. This paper studied the variations of clonal architecture and ramet population characteristics of stoloniferous herb Lysimachia congestiflora growing at the open land of forest edge, forest edge, and forest understory of evergreen broad-leaved forest in Mt. Lingyan of Dujiangyan, Sichuan Province, and compared the stolon internode length, frequency distribution of stolon internode length, braching intensity, branching angle, frequency distribution of branching angle, ramet population density, ramet population height, ramet population biomass, and root/shoot of ramet population among the three habitats. The results showed that the stolon internode length, branching intensity, ramet population density and ramet population biomass were different among three habitats. Kruskal Wallis test indicated that the distributions of stolon internode length and branching angle were significantly different among three habitats. The skewness in distribution of stolon internode length was in the order of open land of forest edge>forest edge>forest understory; and the branching angle, ramet population height, and root/shoot of ramet population were significant greater in open land of forest edge than in forest edge and forest understory. The skewness in distribution of branching angle in open land of forest edge was smaller than that in forest edge and forest understory. The branching angle, ramet population height, and root/shoot of ramet population were not significantly different between forest edge and forest understory. These results were discussed in the context of resource acquisition strategy by clonal plants.

[Experimental study on the antiviral mechanism of Ceratostigma willmattianum against herpes simplex virus type 1 in vitro].

OBJECTIVE: To study the antiviral effect and mechanisms of the liquid extract from Ceratostigma willmattianum against herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1) in vitro. METHOD: C. willmattianum in various concentration was applied to different steps of HSV-1 replication cycle. 50% Tissue culture infective dose (TCID50), cytopathic effect (CPE), MTT staining method, dot blotting and Northern blotting analysis were used to estimate index of antiviral activity. RESULT: 50% Toxic concentration (TC50) was 1077 mg x L(-1), IC50 29.46 mg x L(-1) and therapeutic index (TI) 36.56 in C. willmattianum. TC50 330 mg x L(-1), 50% Inhibiting concentration (IC50) 9.12 mg x L(-1) and TI 36.18 in ACV by MTT staining method. The liquid extract from C. willmattianum had remarkable effect on inhibiting HSV-1 in vitro. Ceratostigma could interfere absorption of HSV-1 to Vero cells to prevent HSV-1 infectivity, inhibit HSV-1 gD DNA replication and HSV-1 gD mRNA expression. CONCLUSION: C. willmattianum possesses strong anti-HSV-1 activity in vitro. The antiviral mechanisms are related to inhibiting virus absorption, HSV-1 gD gene replication and HSV-1 gD gene transcription.

[Niches of several mangrove species in Dongzhai Harbor of Hainan Island].

Employing the succession series of Kandelia candel-Aegiceras corniculatum community in non-indigenous species Sonneratia apetala extension area as resource axes, and with three axes, commonly used calculation formulae, this paper determined the niche breadth and overlap of mangrove populations. The results showed that the niche breadth decreased in order of Aegiceras corniculatum (3.8357) > Kandelia candel (3.3421) > Bruguiera gymnorrhiza (3.3180) > Avicennia marina (3.0975) > Sonneratia apetala (2.9137) > Sonneratia caseolaris (2.5724) > Ceriops tagal (1.8523) > Rhizophora stylosa (1.6897) > Bruguiera sexangula (1.0000), which could indicate the ecological adaptability and distribution range of the species. The niche overlap among K. candel, A. corniculatum, B. gymnorrhiza and A. marina was the largest, suggesting the intense competition among them, followed by the niche overlap of S. apetala with S. caseolaris, A. corniculatum, K. candel and A. marina, S. apetala with R. stylosa and B. sexangula, S. apetala with C. tagal, and S. apetala with B. sexangula.

[Distribution of Littoraia melanostoma Gray (Littorinidae) and Nerita lineata Gmelin (Neritadae) in rehabilitated mangroves].

An investigation was made in April and July 2005 on the abundance and biomass of Littoraia melanostoma ( Littorinidae) and Nerita lineata (Neritadae) in the rehabilitated mangrove forests with different mangrove species and stand ages at the Jiulongjiang Estuary of Fujian Province. The results showed that Nerita lineata was more abundant in mature stands, and had greater biomass and density in Kandelia candel stand than in Aegiceras corniculatum stand. A. corniculatum stand had greater density and biomass of L. melanostoma than K. candel stand, when the two stands had similar ages. In A. corniculatum stands, the biomass of L. melanostoma increased with the age of younger stands; while in K. candel stands, it decreased with the development of the forests. Different habitation patterns of the two snails in different mangrove stands indicated that N. lineate had a strong inhabitation preference for mature K. candel forest, while L. melanostoma was apt to inhabit in younger A. corniculatum forests.
