高频率产生芸苔属非整倍体和纯合植株及基因组原位杂交分析

进行了芥菜型油菜(Brassica juncea (L.) Czern. &; Coss.)和埃塞俄比亚芥(B. carinata A. Braun)与新油料植物资源诸葛菜(Orychophrogmus violaceus (L.) O. E. Schulz)之间的属间杂交, 并对产生的后代植株进行了基因组原位杂交分析. 结果表明, 芥菜型油菜与诸葛菜的杂交后代由3类混倍体组成, 第一类的体细胞和花粉母细胞(PMC)主要含有芥菜型油菜的36条染色体和附加的诸葛菜染色体(2n = 36 ~ 44); 第二类(2n = 30 ~ 36)主要产生具有芥菜型油菜染色体的PMC(2n = 36)和1 ~ 4对芥菜型油菜染色体被诸葛菜染色体所代换的代换型PMC(2n = 36); 第三类(2n = 30 ~ 36)植株的PMC则只具有芥菜型油菜染色体(2n = 36). 而埃塞俄比亚芥与诸葛菜的杂交后代由两类混倍体(2n= 29 ~ 34)组成, 第一类的绝大多数PMC的染色体数目(2n= 34)及行为与母本埃塞俄比亚芥植株的一样, 只是部分PMC包含1 ~ 3对诸葛菜染色体, 而第二类的PMC只具有埃塞俄比亚芥的34条染色体. 从以上杂种的后代中获得了芸苔属亲本种的附加系、代换系、 亚倍体和纯合植株. 这些结果为在芸苔属与诸葛菜属间杂交中可能发生的亲本种染色体组分开现象提供了分子细胞遗传学证据.     

芥菜型油菜与埃塞俄比亚芥杂种基因组原位杂交分析

原产于非洲的埃塞俄比亚芥(Brassica carinata,2n=34,BBCC)具有适应于炎热干旱地区种植等特点,是改良我国芥菜型油菜(B.juncea,2n=36,AABB)的重要种质资源。本研究用基因组原位杂交方法(GISH,Genomic in situ hybridization)分析了芥菜型油菜与埃塞俄比亚芥种间杂种花粉母细胞的染色体分离,发现在后期I染色体主要以17∶18类型分离,其次是16∶19,染色体落后现象偶然发生,其中B染色体组以8∶8的分离比率较高,表明不同来源的B染色体可正常配对分离。本研究表明,芥菜型油菜与埃塞俄比亚芥远缘杂交,通过染色体同源重组(B染色体间),以及部分同源染色体配对交换的方式(A、B、C基因组间),有可能将埃塞俄比亚芥优良遗传成分转移到芥菜型油菜中。     

甘蓝型油菜与埃塞俄比亚芥杂交创制有限花序新种质

远缘杂交是作物遗传改良和种质创新的重要途径。本研究通过甘蓝型油菜(2n=38,AACC)与埃塞俄比亚芥(2n=34,BBCC)的种间杂交获得了形态属于两亲本中间型的杂种F_1,且表现埃塞俄比亚芥的有限花序特性。该杂种具有预期的体细胞染色体数目(2n=36,ABCC),GISH分析显示含有8条B染色体组的染色体;在减数分裂终变期的花粉母细胞中出现多种染色体配对构型,在后期Ⅰ染色体分离多以17∶19分离为主,但在后期Ⅰ及后Ⅱ期均出现大量的落后染色体、染色体桥,导致花粉败育。将该杂种与亲本甘蓝型油菜品种中双11连续回交,获得有限花序的后代材料BC_5F_1,其他形态特征与中双11类似,其体细胞染色体数目恢复至2n=38,减数分裂染色体行为也正常;GISH分析虽检测到少数B染色体组信号,但没有整条的染色体。利用46对B基因组特异引物对有限花序杂种及后代材料进行SSR扩增,发现在杂种F_1及部分BC_5F_1植株中都能检测到B基因组特异带,表明有埃塞俄比亚芥B基因组遗传成分的导入。所创建的有限花序新品系为油菜的遗传改良和选育适于机械化作业的新品种提供新材料。     

埃塞俄比亚芥与芥蓝杂交获得异源三倍体及其细胞学研究

以埃塞俄比亚芥(2n=4x=BBCC=34)和芥蓝(2n=2x=CC=18)为材料,通过相互杂交获得了异源三倍体(2n=3x=BCC=26)。该异源三倍体生长势较强;叶色等介于双亲之间;株型、花型和花大小偏向于埃塞俄比亚芥;花色与芥蓝的相同,为白花。减数分裂观察表明:在终变期,一般形成9个二价体和8个单价体(9Ⅱ+8Ⅰ),且B、C两组染色体表现出一定程度的分群现象;中期Ⅰ,CC基因组的9个二价体排列在赤道板上,而B组的8个单价体游离在赤道板周围;后期Ⅰ分到两极的染色体以13/13和12/14占多数,偶见落后的染色体。该BCC异源三倍体的获得为创建CC+B染色体的异附加系和研究B、C基因组间的亲缘关系奠定了基础。

大量的细胞学观察表明,昭苏野生油菜与黑芥之间,不论是在染色体数上,还是在染色体组型、带型以及染色体大小、总长上都有较大的差异。昭苏野生油菜的染色体数为2n=18,芥黑则为2n=16;染色体组型,前者为14m+4m(SAT),后者为8m+4sm+4sm(SAT);染色体带型,前者为12C/C+2CN/C+2WN~O/O+2W/O,后者为12C/C+2WN/C+2WN~O/C;染色体长度前者为2.00—4.00μ,后者为6.48—3.75μ,虽然黑芥染色体条数少于野生油菜,但总长度却长于昭苏野生油菜。通过观察测量和分析比较,我们认为,昭苏野生油菜与黑芥在亲缘关系上有着较大的距离,二者为不同的物种。     

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.     

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     

Comparative morphology of the carpel in the Liliaceae: Hewardieae, Petrosavieae, and Tricyrteae

The young pistils in the melanthioid tribes, Hewardieae, Petrosavieae and Tricyrteae, are uniformly tricarpellate and syncarpous. They lack raphide idioblasts. All are multiovulate, with bitegmic ovules. The Petrosavieae are marked by the presence of septal glands and incomplete syncarpy. Tepals and stamens adhere to the ovary in the Hewardieae and the Petrosavieae but not in the Tricyrteae. Two vascular bundles occur in the stamens of the Hewartlieae and Tricyrtis latifolia. Ventral bundles in the upper part of the ovary of the Hewardieae are continuous with compound septal bundles and placental bundles in the lower part. Putative ventral bundles occur in the alternate position in the Tricyrteae and putative placental bundles in the opposite. position in the Petrosavieae. The dichtomously branched stigma in each carpel of the Tricyrteae is supplied by a bifurcated dorsal bundle.     

Entwicklungsgeschichte und Ultrastruktur von Pollenkitt und Exine bei nahe verwandten entomophilen und anemophilen Angiospermensippen derAlismataceae,Liliaceae, Juncaceae,Cyperaceae, Poaceae undAraceae

Some closely related members of the monocotyledonous familiesAlismataceae, Liliaceae, Juncaceae, Cyperaceae, Poaceae andAraceae with variable modes of pollination (insect- and wind-pollination) were studied in relation to the ultrastructure of pollenkitt and exine (amount, consistency and distribution of pollenkitt on the surface of pollen grains). The character syndromes of pollen cementing in entomophilous, anemophilous and intermediate (ambophilous or amphiphilous) monocotyledons are the same in principal as in dicotyledons. Comparing present with former results one can summarize: 1) The pollenkitt is always produced in the same manner by the anther tapetum in all angiosperm sub-classes. 2) The variable stickiness of entomophilous and anemophilous pollen always depends on the particular distribution and consistency of the pollenkitt, but not its amount on the pollen surface. 3) The mostly dry and powdery pollen of anemophilous plants always contains a variable amount of inactive pollenkitt in its exine cavities. 4) A step-by step change of the pollen cementing syndrome can be observed from entomophily towards anemophily. 5) From the omnipresence of pollenkitt in all wind-pollinated angiosperms studied one can conclude that the ancestors of anemophilous angiosperms probably have been zoophilous (i.e. entomophilous) throughout.

     

Identification and Characterization of the First Equine Parainfluenza Virus 5

正Dear Editor,Parainfluenza virus 5 (PIV5), known as canine parainfluenza virus in the veterinary field, is a negative-sense,nonsegmented, single-stranded RNA virus belonging to the Paramyxoviridae family (Chen 2018). The virus was first reported in primary monkey kidney cells in 1954 (Hsiung1972), then it has been frequently discovered in various
