小麦K型及V型细胞质雄性不育系线粒体DNA的比较分析

采用RFLP（restrictionfragmentlengthpolymorphism）和RAPD（radomlyamplifiedpolymorphicDNA）技术对具有相同核遗传背景的小麦K型不育系K149A、V型不育系V149A及相应保持系149B的线粒体DNA进行了比较分析。结果表明它们之间线粒体DNA的结构显著不同,atpA,atp9,coxII,cob等线粒体功能基因有组织结构上的差异。推测线粒体DNA是小麦K、V型雄性不育系胞质不育困子的载体。但由于不育系与保持系间线粒体DNA差异甚大,难以确定究竞哪些差异确与雄性不育有关。仅仅比较不育系和保持系间线粒体DNA的差异是限制本领域取得突破性进展的症结所在。基于“核质工作”的思路,把“雄性不育-育性恢复”作为一个整体来考虑,并重视比较不育系和杂种F1代之间线粒体DNA的结构和表达的差异,所得结果对寻找和鉴定cms因子,进而阐明cms的形成机理有积极意义。     

叶绿体基因组的翻译产物与细胞质雄性不育性

本实验通过对叶绿体基因组翻译产物的分析,发现高粱3197 A不育系及其核代换系白马丁A和遗3 A不育系均比保持系(3197 B)多1个52,000道尔顿的变异多肽。而细胞质来源不同的粒息A不育系除52,000道尔顿多肽外还有1个特有的80,000道尔顿变异多肽。小麦T型不育系具有1个54,000道尔顿的变异多肽。甜菜不育系与保持系无差异。这说明某些作物的细胞质雄性不育性与叶绿体遗传系统有关。在高粱恢复系和F_1叶绿体蛋白质中发现三种特有的多肽。它们是由核基因编码的,这可能是恢复基因的产物。由于恢复基因的作用,在F_1恢复育性的同时其叶绿体变异多肽的合成也受到了强烈的抑制。这进一步证明了不育性与叶绿体的联系。     

普通小麦雄性不育系及其保持系花粉发育的细胞形态学观察

观察材料为普通小麦品种“小红”做父本、与“早_1”不育系杂交,经连续回交转育而成的高代(B_7F_1)稳定的T型不育系及其保持系。“小红”不育系减数分裂基本正常,花粉发育和保持系相似,在花粉败育过程中有如下异常现象:     

K、V、T型小麦细胞质雄性不育系籽粒的醇溶蛋白分析

目的:通过对K、V、T型细胞质雄性不育系,保持系及其杂交种籽粒的醇溶蛋白进行A-PAGE分析,以寻找与细胞质雄性不育基因表达有关的特异蛋白。方法:A-PAGE电泳分析,凝胶浓度6.72%。结论:太911289不育系的电泳图谱与保持系相比在β区缺失一条谱带,但是在冀5418不育系的图谱中并未发现与保持系区别的谱带,这与小麦醇溶蛋白基因表达的品种特异性有关;通过对杂交种图谱的分析发现,杂交种图谱与其父本差异很大,具有很强的偏母性,同时各不育类型的杂交种间也存在一定差异。     

榨菜胞质雄性不育系与保持系间线粒体和叶绿体多肽比较

应用SIXS-PAGE技术对榨菜(Brassica juncea Coss.vat.tumida Tsen et Lee)胞质雄性不育系(CMS)和保持系(MF)不同发育时期(苗期、抽薹期、盛花期)的线粒体和叶绿体多肽进行了比较研究．结果表明：线粒体方面,各发育时期不育系比保持系多1条约37kD多肽带,另1条约35kD多肽仅出现于CMS盛花期的线粒体中,叶绿体方面,各发育时期保持系55kD多肽的表达量明显高于不育系叶绿体,其与Rubis CO大亚基分子量吻合。此外,还对植物胞质雄性不育系的分子机理进行了讨论。     

粘类小麦细胞质雄性不育基因的初步研究

许多细胞质雄性不育(CMS)基因涉及ATP合成酶基因或细胞色素氧化酶基因的片段,该研究选用‘中国春'小麦(Triticum aestivum)的atp1+atp9、atp6、atp8、cox2、cox3、nad9和T型小麦不育系的orf256基因片段作探针,对粘类小麦不育系、保持系、恢复系及其F1进行Northern杂交分析,以探寻粘类小麦不育系的CMS候选基因.结果发现,atp6在4种粘类不育系中的转录本大于保持系;cox3在4种不育系中的转录本小于保持系.由此推测atp6或cox3基因可能参与了粘类小麦CMS的形成.     

F型小麦雄性不育系花粉败育和恢保关系研究

F型小麦雄性不育系是一种新型"三系"小麦雄性不育系。为研究F型不育系的花粉败育特点并筛选其恢复源和保持源,采用I2-KI染色法观察F、BNS、T、K和V型不育系扬花期的花粉败育类型,并以F型不育系为母本与98个优良小麦品种(系)进行杂交,检测F1代自交结实率。结果显示:(1)F型不育系的花粉败育率高达95.63%。其中,染败型花粉比例最高,达到67.66%;圆败率为19.32%;典败率最少,仅为8.73%。(2)5种不育系中,F型与K型不育系的花粉育性特征最接近,其次是V型不育系。(3)98个组合F1的自交结实率(国际法)在100%以上11个,0%~10%有18个。(4)‘周麦16’、M510、‘西农815’、‘西农585’对F型不育系的恢复力极强,是其优良恢复系;‘天麦989’、‘存麦4号’、CY 5475、M460、‘12漯-1’和11GB02可通过回交培育成F型不育系的保持系。研究认为,F型不育系花粉败育彻底、稳定,在常规小麦品系中较易找到其保持源和强恢复力品系,是一种良好的新型不育系。     

粘类小麦细胞质雄性不育系的RAPD分析

利用250条10-聚寡核苷酸随机引物对具粘果山羊草(Aegilops kotschyi)、易变山羊草(Ae.variabilis)、偏凸山羊草(Ae.ventricosa)和二角山羊草(Ae．bicornis)细胞质不育系及其保持系5-1的总DNA进行了RAPD多态性分析,其中31条引物对4种不育系及其保持系总DNA均无扩增,217条引物扩增条带完全相同。有2条随机引物在2种不育系之间有特异的扩增片段,其中引物S22在偏凸山羊草细胞质雄性不育系基因组DNA中扩增出分子量约为1600bp的特异带,引物S202在粘果山羊草细胞质雄性不育系基因组DNA中扩增出约1300bp特异带。线粒体基因组DNA的RAPD分析表明,4种不育系及其保持系mtDNA存在明显的差异。证明了S22—1600为偏凸山羊草细胞质不育系及其mtDNA基因组DNA的RAPD特异片段．S202—1300可能为粘果山羊草细胞质不育系及其ctDNA基因组DNA的RAPD特异片段。     

水稻细胞质雄性不育系和保持系的线粒体COⅠ、COⅡ基因组织结构差异的分析

我们研究了水稻珍汕97不育系和保持系的线粒体DNA的PstⅠ、HindⅢ、BamHⅠ酶切电泳带型,发现了不育系和保持系的线粒体DNA分子结构的显著不同,而不育系和保持系的叶绿体DNA的HindⅢ酶切片段没有差异。以线粒体的细胞色素C氧化酶亚基Ⅰ、Ⅱ(COⅠ、COⅡ)基因为探针,与珍汕97不育系、保持系的叶绿体、线粒体DNA酶切片段进行分子杂交,证明叶绿体DNA没有COⅠ、COⅡ基因的同源顺序,发现不育系和保持系COⅠ、COⅡ基因有组织结构上的差异,但不能确证这些差异是否与细胞质雄性不育有关。     

两个育性相关基因在几类小麦雄性不育材料中的表达研究

以1B/1R类K型不育系K3314A及其保持系3314B,非1B/1R类K型不育系732A及其保持系732B,YS温敏雄性不育小麦A3017为材料,提取不同温度处理下各时期小穗的总RNA进行反转录,对AY914051和AY660990两个目标基因进行半定量PCR和电泳分析,测定其在小麦中的表达变化趋势,以分析其与这几种不育系的育性相关关系,探讨这几种不育小麦败育的关键发育时期。结果表明,除AY914051基因在2种保持系3314B和732B中表达量变化不大之外,其它均有明显差异;2个目标基因与这几种雄性不育系的败育有关,但与育性相关程度不同,不育系两个目的基因的表达受温度变化影响程度明显大于保持系。由实验结果推测,1B/1R类K型不育系、非1B/1R类K型不育系和YS温敏雄性不育系的败育关键时期为单核期或单核期至二核期之间;温度差异可能会导致YS温敏雄性不育系的育性相关基因表达时期错位,错位后的表达差异积累可能最终导致其败育。     

Simultaneous measurement of the trace elements Al, As, B, Be, Cd, Co, Cu, Fe, Li, Mn, Mo, Ni, Rb, Se, Sr, and Zn in human serum and their reference ranges by ICP-MS

The goal of this article was to establish reference ranges of the concentration of trace elements in human serum and to compare these results with those reported by other authors. We describe the sample preparation and measurement conditions that allow the rapid, precise, and accurate determination of Al, As, B, Be, Cd, Co, Cu, Fe, Li, Mn, Mo, Ni, Rb, Se, Sr, and Zn in human serum samples (n=110) by inductively coupled plasma-mass spectrometry (ICP-MS). Accuracy and precision were determined by analyzing three reconstituted reference serum samples by comparison with other methods and by the standard addition procedure. The advantages of the ICP-MS method include short time of analysis of the elements mentioned, low detection limit, high precision, and high accuracy. Disadventages include a high risk of contamination due to the presence of some of the elements of interest in the environment, the relatively delicate sample handling, and the high cost of the equipment.     

Distribution of N,P, K,Ca, Mg,S, Zn,Fe, Mn and Cu in groundnut

Summary Concentration of N, P, K, Ca, Mg and S in summer groundnut crop was higher than in kharif while Zn, Fe, Mn and Cu contents were higher in summer crop. Kernel's N, P and Zn; Leaflet's Ca and Mn; Stem's K and Fe; Root's S and Cu and Petiole's Mg contents were highest. Shell's N, P, K, Mg, S, Zn and Cu; Kernel's Ca, Fe and Mn contents were the least. N, P, K, S, Zn and Cu concentrations decreased linearly as the crop grew. Ca, Mg, Fe and Mn concentrations did not display any distinct pattern. Ca concentration was positively correlated with pod yield in both the seasons.     

Crystal structure, detonation performance, and thermal stability of a new polynitro cage compound: 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 13, 14, 15-nonanitro-2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 13, 14, 15-nonaazaheptacyclo [5.5.1.13, 11. 15, 9] pentadecane

A new polynitro cage compound 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 13, 14, 15-nonanitro-2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 13, 14, 15-nonaazaheptcyclo [5.5.1.1(3,11).1(5,9)] pentadecane (NNNAHP) was designed in the present work. Its molecular structure was optimized at the B3LYP/6-31 G(d,p) level of density functional theory (DFT) and crystal structure was predicted using the Compass and Dreiding force fields and refined by DFT GGA-RPBE method. The obtained crystal structure of NNNAHP belongs to the P-1 space group and the lattice parameters are a = 9.99 ?, b = 10.78 ?, c = 9.99 ?, α = 90.01°, β = 120.01°, γ = 90.00°, and Z = 2, respectively. Based on the optimized crystal structure, the band gap, density of state, thermodynamic properties, infrared spectrum, strain energy, detonation characteristics, and thermal stability were predicted. Calculation results show that NNNAHP has detonation properties close to those of CL-20 and is a high energy density compound with moderate stability.     

Reference values for the concentrations of As,Cd, Co,Cr, Cu,Fe, I,Hg, Mn,Mo, Ni,Pb, Se,and Zn in selected human tissues and body fluids

This report attempts to formulate reference ranges of elemental concentrations for 15 trace elements in selected human tissues and body fluids. A set of samples consisting of whole blood, blood serum, urine, milk, liver, and hair were chosen and considered for 15 elements of biological significance: As, Cd, Co, Cr, Cu, F, Fe, I, Hg, Mn, Mo, Ni, Pb, Se, and Zn. The results represent wholly or partially data received from 40 countries of the global regions of Africa, Asia, Europe, North, South, and Central America, Australia, and New Zealand. This survey, even if qualitative, has been useful in demonstrating certain trends of trace-element scenarios around the world. It is of course recognized that both diet and environment exert a strong influence on the distribution pattern of several elements, such as As, Cd, Mn, Pb, Se, and Zn. A limited comparison of the available information on soil status of different countries reflected some interesting associations for elements, such as Mn and Zn. Importantly, this study revealed that only a few countries were in a position to identify a reasonable amount of data on samples requested for this project. Regretably, for a number of countries, any dependable data for even such essential elements as Cu, Fe, and Zn were not available. In view of the nutritional importance of many elements, the time is ripe for concerted efforts by intergovernmental agencies to initiate investigations or commission task forces/projects to generate reliable reference data for selected global regions, which sadly lack data of any kind at present.     

Relations of the Al,B, Ba,Br, Ca,Cl, Cu,Fe, K,Li, Mg,Mn, Na,P, S,Si, Sr,and Zn mass fractions to morphometric parameters in pediatric and nonhyperplastic young adult prostate glands

The variation with age of the 18 trace element mass fractions and some histological characteristics of intact prostate glands of 50 subjects aged 0–30 years was investigated by instrumental neutron activation analysis, inductively coupled plasma atomic emission spectrometry, and a quantitative morphometric analysis. Mean values ± standard error of the mean (M ± SΕΜ) for the mass fractions (in milligrams per kilogram wet tissue) of these trace elements in pre-puberty were: Al 28.5 ± 9.0, B 0.40 ± 0.11, Ba 1.48 ± 0.44, Br 10.5 ± 1.5, Ca 241 ± 30, Cl 3,203 ± 278, Cu 3.51 ± 0.89, Fe 33.7 ± 4.1, K 2,364 ± 145, Li 0.020 ± 0.004, Mg 153 ± 23, Mn 0.46 ± 0.06, Na 2,286 ± 130, P 1,391 ± 100, S 1,698 ± 132, Si 62 ± 11, Sr 0.38 ± 0.08, and Zn 27.6 ± 2.3. During puberty and postpuberty, when there is a significant increase in circulating androgens, the mean values were: Al 7.2 ± 1.4, B 0.21 ± 0.05, Ba 0.25 ± 0.06, Br 5.8 ± 1.0, Ca 433 ± 81, Cl 2,314 ± 201, Cu 1.77 ± 0.13, Fe 20.9 ± 1.6, K 2,585 ± 118, Li 0.0088 ± 0.0014, Mg 232 ± 27, Mn 0.34 ± 0.04, Na 1,875 ± 107, P 1,403 ± 98, S 1,673 ± 73, Si 22.2 ± 3.1, Sr 0.22 ± 0.03, and Zn 93.3 ± 8.9. Mean values (M ± SΕΜ) of percent volumes (%) of the stroma, epithelium and lumen in the prostate before puberty were 73.4 ± 2.6, 20.4 ± 1.7, and 4.45 ± 0.94, respectively, versus 46.5 ± 2.5, 38.5 ± 1.9, and 14.9 ± 1.2 during puberty and postpuberty. This work’s results confirm that the Zn mass fraction in prostate tissue is an androgen-dependent parameter. For the first time it has been demonstrated that the glandular lumen is a main pool of Ca, Mg, and Zn accumulation and that the stroma is a main pool of Al, B, Ba, Br, Cl, Cu, Fe, Mn, Na, and Si accumulation in the normal human prostate, for the age range 0–30 years. It was concluded that the Ca, Mg, and Zn binds tightly within the prostatic fluid, because the volume of glandular lumen reflects the volume of prostatic fluid.     

Monovalent Cation Permeation through the Connexin40 Gap Junction Channel : Cs,Rb, K,Na, Li,TEA, TMA,TBA, and Effects of Anions Br,Cl, F,Acetate, Aspartate,Glutamate, and NO3

The unitary conductances and permeability sequences of the rat connexin40 (rCx40) gap junction channels to seven monovalent cations and anions were studied in rCx40-transfected neuroblastoma 2A (N2A) cell pairs using the dual whole cell recording technique. Chloride salt cation substitutions (115 mM principal salt) resulted in the following junctional maximal single channel current-voltage relationship slope conductances (γ_j in pS): CsCl (153), RbCl (148), KCl (142), NaCl (115), LiCl (86), TMACl (71), TEACl (63). Reversible block of the rCx40 channel was observed with TBA. Potassium anion salt γ_j are: Kglutamate (160), Kacetate (160), Kaspartate (158), KNO₃ (157), KF (148), KCl (142), and KBr (132). Ion selectivity was verified by measuring reversal potentials for current in rCx40 gap junction channels with asymmetric salt solutions in the two electrodes and using the Goldman-Hodgkin-Katz equation to calculate relative permeabilities. The permeabilities relative to Li⁺ are: Cs⁺ (1.38), Rb⁺ (1.32), K⁺ (1.31), Na⁺ (1.16), TMA⁺ (0.53), TEA⁺ (0.45), TBA⁺ (0.03), Cl⁻ (0.19), glutamate⁻ (0.04), and NO₃− (0.14), assuming that the monovalent anions permeate the channel by forming ion pairs with permeant monovalent cations within the pore thereby causing proportionate decreases in the channel conductance. This hypothesis can account for why the predicted increasing conductances with increasing ion mobilities in an essentially aqueous channel were not observed for anions in the rCx40 channel. The rCx40 effective channel radius is estimated to be 6.6 Å from a theoretical fit of the relationship of relative permeability and cation radius.     

The Effect of Age and Gender on Al, B, Ba, Ca, Cu, Fe, K, Li, Mg, Mn, Na, P, S, Sr, V, and Zn Contents in Rib Bone of Healthy Humans

The effect of age and gender on major, minor, and trace element contents in the intact rib bone of 80 relatively healthy 15–55-year-old women and men was investigated. Contents or upper limit of contents of 16 chemical elements in the rib bone were determined by inductively coupled plasma atomic emission spectrometry (ICP-AES). Mean values (M?±?SΕΜ) for the mass fraction of Ba, Ca, Cu, Fe, K, Li, Mg, Na, P, S, Sr, and Zn (milligram per kilogram of dry bone) were as follows: 2.54?±?0.16, 171,400?±?4,050, 1.35?±?0.22, 140?±?11, 1,874?±?71, 0.049?±?0.011, 2,139?±?38, 5,378?±?88, 75,140?±?1,660, 1,881?±?51, 291?±?20, and 92.8?±?1.5, respectively. The upper limits of contents of Al, B, Mn, and V were <7.20, <0.65, <0.36, and <0.03, respectively. Statistically significant tendency for the Ca, Mg, and P content to decrease with age was found in the human rib bone, regardless of gender. The mass fraction of Fe in the male rib bone increases with age. It was shown that higher Ca, Mg, Na, P, and Sr mass fractions as well as lower Fe content were typical of female ribs as compared to those in male ribs.     

Caprine blood groups. 2. The C,G, H,I, J,K, L,N, and Q systems

Nine blood group systems of goats were identified using 12 caprine reagents produced by absorption of alloimmune antisera. The caprine C blood group system, possibly homologous to the ovine C blood group system, was characterized by two reagents and shown to be controlled by three alleles,C ¹²,C ²⁵, andC ⁻. A more complex blood group system of goats, designated G, was identified using three reagents and shown to be controlled by six codominant alleles (G ^10.19.20,G ^10.19,G ^10.20,G ¹⁰,G ¹⁹,G ²⁰) and a recessive allele (G ⁻). A further seven one-factor two-allelic systems were identified by seven reagents. The nine genetic systems provided exclusion probabilities of 0.479, 0.492, 0.548, and 0.572 in Australian Angora, Dairy, Cashmere, and Texan Angora goat breeds, respectively. This work was supported by a grant from the Australian Stud Book, Alison Road, Randwick, New South Wales 2031, Australia.
