[Method] By employing SDS-PAGE and 2-demensional electrophoresis (2-DE) techniques,proteins in various heteromorphic leaves from the same adult tree of P. euphratica were isolated and separated to the electrophoresis technique suitable for the separation and analysis of proteins in leaves of P. euphratica tree. [Results] There were significant differences in the expressions of proteins in various heteromorphic leaves of P. euphratica tree. SDS-PAGE pattern showed that bands of proteins with molecular weight of 57.2,13.2,30.2,23.9 and 33.3 kDa were remarkably different. 2-D electrophoresis pattern presented that proteins in leaves of P. euphratica tree mainly belong to acidic proteins distributed at pH value of 5.0-6.5 and with molecular weight of 20-40 kDa; totally 73 different protein spots were observed,of which 51 were up expressed and other 22 were down expressed in the serrated ovate leaves. [Conclusion] Based on these results,we speculate that regulated gene expression in leaves of P. euphratica tree results in the generation of different shapes of leaves,in order to adapt to the surroundings better.展开更多

However, variations in traits and trait correlation networks across heteromorphic leaves within species remain largely unexplored. In this study, we systematically quantified a diverse array of leaf traits—spanning morphology, anatomy, physiology and biochemistry—among the striped, lanceolate, ovate, and broadly ovate leaves of Populus euphratica, aiming to elucidate the adaptive differences across these various leaf types. We found that the four heteromorphic leaves showed significant differences in leaf traits. From striped leaves to broadly ovate leaves, leaf size, leaf thickness, water use efficiency and catalase content significantly increased, while specific leaf area showed the opposite pattern. Principal component analysis and cluster analysis revealed distinct aggregation and clear demarcation of the four leaf types, indicating substantial variations in trait compositions and their distinct ecological adaptations. Plant trait networks varied significantly across the four leaf types, with the broadly ovate leaves exhibiting a fragmented network structure that enhances their modularity. This suggests strong resilience to disturbances and is consistent with the characteristic foliage on mature trees. Regardless of leaf type, nitrogen and phosphorus consistently emerged as hub traits within plant trait networks, underscoring their fundamental role in driving physiological processes and influencing phenotypic expression. This study meticulously delineates the variations in both individual leaf traits and trait correlation networks across the heteromorphic leaves of P. euphratica, significantly deepening our understanding of plant adaptive strategies.展开更多

Unialgal cultures were observed under a microscope to determine the developmental morphological characters of C. valida. Results reveal that gametophytic filaments often produce lateral branches under laboratory culture conditions, suggesting an atypical heteromorphic life cycle of C. valida between unbranched sporophytes and branched gametophytes, which differs from typical isomorphic alternation of Chaetomorpha species. The shape of the basal attachment cell, an important taxonomic character within the genus, was found variable depending on environmental conditions. The 18S rDNA and 28S rDNA regions were used to explore the phylogenetic affinity of the taxa. Inferred trees from 18S rDNA sequences revealed a close relationship between C. valida and Chaetomorpha moniligera. These results would enrich information in general biology and morphological plasticity of C. valida and provided a basis for future identification of green tide forming algae.展开更多

Individual Ag NORs sizes varied on different chromosomes, and the number of Ag NOR per cell varied from three to six. Among the examined 100 cells, 71% of the gnomes carried four Ag NORs, 12% carried 3,11% carried 5, and 6% carried 6. The variance occurred not only among different cells but also among different cells from the same source. The satellite association between homologous chromosomes in No 7 was also observed in 27% of the metaphase chromosome preparations. The heteromorphic properties of Ag NORs were discussed.展开更多

文摘The nucleolar organizer regions (NORs) in the mitotic chromosomes of tilapia Oreochromis niloticus were analyzed using silver nitrate staining Ag detected NORs(Ag NORs) in the chromosomes of the tilapia exhibited heteromorphism. Individual Ag NORs sizes varied on different chromosomes, and the number of Ag NOR per cell varied from three to six. Among the examined 100 cells, 71% of the gnomes carried four Ag NORs, 12% carried 3,11% carried 5, and 6% carried 6. The variance occurred not only among different cells but also among different cells from the same source. The satellite association between homologous chromosomes in No 7 was also observed in 27% of the metaphase chromosome preparations. The heteromorphic properties of Ag NORs were discussed.
