小麦抗条锈病基因YrCN19的诊断检测和遗传分析

用小麦条锈病抗性基因YrCN19的诊断标记Xgwm410对19个小麦品种或品系进行PCR筛选,其中川农19、新抗5号、爱民5号和爱民6号扩增出与条锈病抗性基因YrCN19共分离的特征片断,其大小为391个碱基,而在其他的小麦品种或品系中未能检测到该片断。系谱分析和抗性鉴定结果表明川农19、新抗5号、爱民5号和爱民6号含有小麦条锈病基因YrCN19。抗性遗传分析发现小麦条锈病抗性在川农19,新抗5号和爱民5号中的遗传符合单个显性基因的遗传规律(3抗:1感);杂交组合烟辐188/爱民6号的抗性遗传也符合单个显性基因的遗传规律,而另外一些杂交组合(如R25/爱民6号,鲁955159/爱民6号和苏3110/爱民6号)中的抗性分离则符合两对基因互补的遗传规律(9抗:7感)。本研究揭示了小麦条锈病抗性基因YrCN19在不同遗传背景和杂交组合的抗性表达和分离有差异,从而加速YrCN19在小麦抗条锈育种中的开发与利用。

烤烟CMV抗性的主基因 多基因混合遗传模型分析

以高抗CMV的烤烟品种台烟8号为母本(P1),以高感CMV的烤烟品种NC82为父本(P2),在2个不同的时间环境下构建P1、P2、F1和F24个世代群体,在植株不同生长时期进行CMV病害鉴定。运用植物数量性状"主基因+多基因"混合遗传模型分析方法对该世代群体的CMV抗性进行联合分析。结果表明,在温室环境中,苗期和成株期鉴定CMV抗性遗传都符合E1模型,即由2对加性-显性-上位性主基因+加性-显性多基因混合控制,主基因遗传率分别是37.11%、57.76%;在大田环境中,苗期抗性鉴定符合加性-显性-上位性多基因模型(C0),多基因遗传率为26.86%,而成株期鉴定属于2对主基因+多基因模型(E2),主基因遗传率为36.57%。研究表明,由于植物抗性基因的表达具有时空性,台烟8号对CMV的抗性遗传在不同的时间和环境具有一定的差异;但随着植株的生长,抗性遗传趋于稳定,在成株期时,2个不同的环境均表现为2对主基因+多基因控制,所以对烤烟CMV抗性品种选育和改良要以主基因为主,同时注重环境的影响。

Recent advances in the study of Kaposi's sarcoma-associated herpesvirus replication and pathogenesis

It has now been over twenty years since a novel herpesviral genome was identified in Kaposi's sarcoma biopsies. Since then, the cumulative research effort by molecular biologists, virologists, clinicians, and epidemiologists alike has led to the extensive characterization of this tumor virus, Kaposi's sarcoma-associated herpesvirus(KSHV; also known as human herpesvirus 8(HHV-8)), and its associated diseases. Here we review the current knowledge of KSHV biology and pathogenesis, with a particular emphasis on new and exciting advances in the field of epigenetics. We also discuss the development and practicality of various cell culture and animal model systems to study KSHV replication and pathogenesis.     

A Unique Protease Cleavage Site Predicted in the Spike Protein of the Novel Pneumonia Coronavirus (2019-nCoV) Potentially Related to Viral Transmissibility

正Dear Editor,In December 2019, a novel human coronavirus caused an epidemic of severe pneumonia(Coronavirus Disease 2019,COVID-19) in Wuhan, Hubei, China(Wu et al. 2020; Zhu et al. 2020). So far, this virus has spread to all areas of China and even to other countries. The epidemic has caused 67,102 confirmed infections with 1526 fatal cases     

Curcuminoids as inhibitors of thioredoxin reductase: A receptor based pharmacophore study with distance mapping of the active site

Curcumin is the yellow pigment of turmeric that interacts irreversibly forming an adduct with thioredoxin reductase (TrxR), an enzyme responsible for redox control of cell and defence against oxidative stress. Docking at both the active sites of TrxR was performed to compare the potency of three naturally occurring curcuminoids, namely curcumin, demethoxy curcumin and bis-demethoxy curcumin. Results show that active sites of TrxR occur at the junction of E and F chains. Volume and area of both cavities is predicted. It has been concluded by distance mapping of the most active conformations that Se atom of catalytic residue SeCYS498, is at a distance of 3.56 from C13 of demethoxy curcumin at the E chain active site, whereas C13 carbon atom forms adduct with Se atom of SeCys 498. We report that at least one methoxy group in curcuminoids is necessary for interation with catalytic residues of thioredoxin. Pharmacophore of both active sites of the TrxR receptor for curcumin and demethoxy curcumin molecules has been drawn and proposed for design and synthesis of most probable potent antiproliferative synthetic drugs.     

The structure, reproduction and taxonomy of Vidalia and Osmundaria (Rhodophyta, Rhodomelaceae)

Comprises species occurring mostly in subtidal habitats in tropical, subtropical and warm-temperate areas of the world. An analysis of the type species, V. spiralis (Sonder) Lamouroux ex J. Agardh, a species from Australia, establishes basic characters for distinguishing species in the genus. These characters are (1) branching patterns of thalli, (2) flat blades that may be spiralled on their axis, (3) width of the blade, (4) primary or secondary derivation of sterile and fertile branchlets and (5) position of sterile and fertile branchlets on the thalli. Application of the latter two characters provides an important basic method for separation of species into three major groups. Osmundaria , a genus known only in southern Australia, was studied in relation to Vidalia , and its separation from the Vidalia assemblage is not accepted. Species of Vidalia therefore are transferred to the older genus name, Osmundaria. Two new species, Osmundaria papenfussii and Osmundaria oliveae are described from Natal. Confusion in the usage of the epithet, Vidalia fimbriala Brown ex Turner has been clarified, and Vidalia gregaria Falkenberg, described as an epiphyte on Osmundaria pro/ifera Lamouroux, is revealed to be young branches of the host, Osmundaria prolifera.     

New or rare chromosome counts in Artemisia L. (Asteraceae, Anthemideae) and related genera from Kazakhstan

Fifteen chromosome counts of six Artemisia taxa and one species of each of the genera Brachanthemum, Hippolytia, Kaschgaria, Lepidolopsis and Turaniphytum are reported from Kazakhstan. Three of them are new reports, two are not consistent with previous counts and the remainder are confirmations of very scarce (one to four) earlier records. All the populations studied have the same basic chromosome number, x = 9, with ploidy levels ranging from 2x to 6x. Some correlations between ploidy level, morphological characters and distribution are noted.
