Chinese Traditional and Herbal Drugs 1994;0(06):-
Object To study the promoting effects of Mycena anoectochila, M dendrobii and M. orchidicola on growth of Dendrobium candidum Wall. ex Ldl. and Anoectochilus roxburghii (Wall ) Ldl Methods The protocorm and plantlet of D candidum and A roxburghii were grown in dual culture with endophytic fungi to observe the proliferation of protocorm and the growth of plantlet. Results The growth of plantlet of D candidium, which was inoculated three endophytic fungi, increased markedly 3 5 times more than those of the control one M dendrobii and M orchidicola also promoted multiplication on protocorm of D candidum (P

Object Effectively extracting RNA from Anoectochilus roxburghii (Wall.) Ldl. lays a foundation to research the mechanism of endomycorrhiza promoting its growth. Methods RNA was prepared by CTAB, electrophoresis on 1% agroses gel and photo are taken with MutiImage TM Light Cabinet. Results The ratios of RNA A 260 /A 230 and A 260 /A 280 were 2.054 and 1.818, respectively. And the yield was 154.35 ?g/g fresh. The bands were clear on agrose gel and integrity of RNA was good. Conclusion RNA with high quality and high quantity is isolated by the method of CTAB for medicinal plants with high concentrations of polysaccharides and phenolics.
3.PRODUCTION OF ACTIVE OXYGEN SPECIES AND CHANGES OF ENZYMES IN GRIFOLA UMBELLATA INDUCED BYARMILLARIA MELLEA ELICITOR
Microbiology 1992;0(03):-
The changes of active oxygen species and some enzymes in Grifola umbellata induced by Armillaria mellea elicitor were studied.The results showed that active oxygen species appeared in both mycelia and sclerotia of G.umbellata after treated with A.mellea.There were two phases of active oxygen production upon addition of A.mellea elicitor.Phase I occured at 10 minute after addition of A.mellea elicitor.Phase Ⅱ occurred about 90 minute.The changes of some enzyme activity were also studied in this paper.Compared with control,the A.mellea elicitor could reduce the activity of superoxide dismutase and peroxidase.The catalase activity changed only little.The phenylanine ammonia lyase activity declined in the early stages and then increased in the late stages.
4.Studies on cultivation of Gastrodia elata to lower expense and increase yield
Chinese Traditional and Herbal Drugs 1994;0(12):-
Object As stated in the subject. Methods By field cultivation.Results In sexual reproduction, (1) short tree branches can be used instead of the conventional tree trunks. Sow four layers of seed on to two timber layers. The peretration rate of Amillaria mellea (Vahl. ex Fr.) Karst into the germinated Gastrodia elata Bl.protocorm can attain well over 50%. After half year, the yield of both small and medium sized gastrodia tubers (2) Sow four layers of seed onto every two layers of long tree trunks may double the yield. In asexual propagation, the use of short tree branches not only can save timber material but also maintain the yield.Conclusion This new cultivation method can be used to save timber while maintaining the quality and quantity in the production of G. elata.

HIV-1 integrase (IN) is a key enzyme for the viral replication. The protein-protein interaction (PPI) between HIV-1 IN and a cellular cofactor lens epithelium-derived growth factor (LEDGF/p75) is a validated target for anti-HIV drug discovery. In order to build the platform for screening inhibitor against PPI between IN and LEDGF/p75, the vector containing the LEDGF/p75 protein cDNA was constructed and expressed in Escherichia coli and the function of the LEDGF/p75 protein was assayed. The LGDGF/p75 encoding gene optimized according to the preference codon usage of E. coli, was synthesized and cloned into the expression vector pGEX-4T-1 to form a recombined plasmid, then transformed into host cell E. coli BL21 (DE3). The recombined clones were identified and confirmed by BamH I/Sal I digestion and sequencing, the successfully recombined plasmid in the host cell was induced by IPTG and the condition of the expression was optimized. The expressed protein was purified by the Ni2+ affinity chromatography column and SDS-PAGE was used to analyze the molecular weight and specificity. In addition, ELISA assay was used to analyze the function of the recombinant protein. The recombinant LGDGF/p75 was soluble, and expressed highly and stably in E. coli. The protein was proved to enhance HIV-1 IN strand transfer activity in vitro by ELISA. It will be helpful to build the platform of screening inhibitors against PPI between IN and LEDGF/p75.
