转Bt基因棉花中Cry1Ac蛋白经烟粉虱途径向龟纹瓢虫的传递

【目的】烟粉虱Bemisia tabaci是转基因棉的非靶标害虫,对棉花生产造成严重影响。本文探讨转Bt基因棉花中Cry1Ac蛋白在棉花-烟粉虱-龟纹瓢食物链中的传递规律,以期为转基因棉的环境安全评价提供科学依据。【方法】在实验室条件下,以常规棉SM3号、33、SY321为对照,分析转Bt基因棉花GK12、XM33B、SGK321叶片、在这些棉花上取食的烟粉虱、以及捕食烟粉虱的瓢虫体内Cry1Ac蛋白含量。同时,将取食转Bt基因棉花上的烟粉虱的瓢虫转接到对应的受体亲本棉花上,分析瓢虫体内Cry1Ac蛋白含量变化规律。【结果】在转Bt基因棉花上取食的烟粉虱成虫和若虫以及它们的蜜露中均能检测到Cry1Ac蛋白,以转Bt基因棉花上的烟粉虱若虫为食料的龟纹瓢虫体Propylaea japonica内也能检测到Cry1Ac蛋白。龟纹瓢虫取食转Bt基因棉花上的烟粉虱若虫1 d后体内即能检测到Cry1Ac蛋白,并且随着取食时间的延长,体内Cry1Ac蛋白的含量逐渐增加,但到第6~8天后Cry1Ac蛋白的含量相对稳定。取食3个不同品种棉花上烟粉虱若虫的龟纹瓢虫体内Cry1Ac蛋白的含量存在明显差异,这种差异与棉花叶片上表达的Cry1Ac蛋白量呈正相关。但取食后6 d,在3个品种棉花上取食的龟纹瓢虫体内的Cry1Ac蛋白含量之间没有明显的差异。以转Bt基因棉花上的烟粉虱若虫为食料的龟纹瓢虫转移到对应的常规棉亲本上以后,体内的Cry1Ac蛋白的含量迅速下降,但10 d后仍能检测到微量的Cry1Ac蛋白。【结论】转Bt基因棉花中的Cry1Ac蛋白可以通过烟粉虱途径传递到龟纹瓢虫体内,龟纹瓢虫对食料中的Cry1Ac蛋白具有富集作用,并且Cry1Ac蛋白的富集存在饱和现象,富集饱和量与食料中的Cry1Ac含量无关;龟纹瓢虫脱离含有Cry1Ac蛋白的食料环境后,体内的Cry1Ac蛋白可以消减,但在10 d时间内龟纹瓢虫体内仍会有Cry1Ac残留。

转Cry1Ac+CpTI基因棉对棉田害虫及其天敌种群动态的影响

002年在河北省南皮县对转Cry1Ac+CpTI基因棉（SGK321）棉田害虫及其天敌种群动态的研究结果表明,SGK321棉田及其亲本对照棉（石远321）棉田的害虫和捕食性天敌的种类基本相同,但数量差异较大。但在5月23日至9月16日的24次调查中,SGK321棉田的5 种主要害虫棉铃虫、棉蚜、绿盲蝽、棉粉虱、小绿叶蝉的总数量分别较其亲本石远321棉田降低89.5%、64.5%、21.8%、15.6%和33.7%。SGK321棉田龟纹瓢虫和中华草蛉的种群总数量分别比石远321棉田增高34.0%和9.1%,但异色瓢虫、小花蝽、异须盲蝽、蚜茧蜂和蜘蛛类的种群数量分别降低28.6%、6.5%、43.1%、44.7%和14.0%。主要害虫和天敌种群动态的监测表明,棉蚜、小绿叶蝉和棉粉虱的发生高峰期分别为7月中下旬,8月下旬至9月中旬,8月下旬至9月上、中旬。在三者的高峰期内,SGK321棉田的种群数量基本上低于对照田。龟纹瓢虫的发生高峰期为7月上旬到8月上、中旬,且SGK321棉田的种群数量高于对照田。研究表明, SGK321在对棉铃虫具有很好抗性的同时,对棉蚜、棉粉虱、绿盲蝽、小绿叶蝉等非靶标害虫的发生也有一定的抑制作用;SGK321棉田龟纹瓢虫和中华草蛉的种群数量增加,其他主要天敌的数量则有所降低,表明SGK321对某些天敌种类的种群动态存在不利影响。

转Cry1Ac+Cry2Ab棉对棉铃虫的控制作用及对天敌捕食烟粉虱功能反应的影响

文章以转Cry1Ac基因棉(中棉所41)和常规棉(中棉所49)为对照,研究了转Cry1Ac+Cry2Ab基因棉(639020)在棉花生长的关键时期——蕾期(二代棉铃虫发生期)、花期(三代棉铃虫发生期)和花铃期(四代棉铃虫发生期)对棉铃虫的控制作用,同时研究了639020棉田主要捕食性天敌(中华草蛉幼虫、龟纹瓢虫、小花蝽和草间小黑蛛)对烟粉虱的捕食功能,明确了639020棉花在生长的关键时期对棉铃虫的控制效果及对棉田主要捕食性天敌捕食功能反应的影响。结果表明,639020棉花对二代和三代棉铃虫具有良好的控制作用,抗虫性分别比中棉所41提高了52.85%和16.22%,其中前者差异达显著水平,后者差异不显著。在棉花蕾期、花期和花铃期,639020棉田棉铃虫落卵量都比中棉所41棉田和中棉所49棉田低(除二代棉铃虫发生期);棉铃虫幼虫数量都极显著低于常规棉,且都低于防治指标,但与中棉所41棉田无显著差异。639020棉田中华草蛉、龟纹瓢虫、小花蝽和草间小黑蛛对烟粉虱的捕食功能与中棉所41棉田和常规棉田相比无显著变化。研究结果以期为新型转基因棉花环境安全性研究及其外源基因的抗虫遗传效应和生产应用前景进行安全性评价。     

中华草蛉、龟纹瓢虫和异色瓢虫对B型烟粉虱的捕食功能反应

室内研究了中华草蛉Chrysopa sinicaTjeder、龟纹瓢虫Propylaea japonica(Thunberg)和异色瓢虫Leis axyridis(Pallas)对B型烟粉虱Bemisiatabaci(Gennadius)若虫的捕食功能反应和寻找效应。结果表明,3种天敌成虫和幼虫的捕食量均随着猎物密度的增加而上升,当猎物增加到一定水平,捕食量趋向稳定,捕食功能反应曲线符合HollingⅡ型方程。异色瓢虫、中华草蛉和龟纹瓢虫成虫和幼虫对烟粉虱若虫的捕食量差异显著,理论最大日捕食量分别为417,263,156头和625,238,108头。3种天敌对烟粉虱若虫的寻找效应随着天敌密度的增加而下降,干扰作用逐渐增强,其寻找效应表现为龟纹瓢虫(0.5656)>异色瓢虫(0.4371)>中华草蛉(0.4029),对烟粉虱的控制能力表现为异色瓢虫>龟纹瓢虫>中华草蛉。     

不同生育期转双价(Bt+CpTI)基因抗虫棉根际土壤酶活性和养分含量变化

田间试验条件下,以转双价(Bt+CpTI)基因棉SGK321及其非转基因亲本常规棉石远321为研究对象,比较分析不同生育期(30、60、90、120d)转双价基因棉和亲本棉根际土壤酶活性(脲酶、碱性磷酸酶、过氧化氢酶)及速效养分(硝态氮、铵态氮和速效磷)的变化。结果表明,转双价基因棉根际土壤硝态氮、铵态氮和速效磷含量变化趋势与其亲本常规棉基本一致,但各养分的具体变化幅度因生育期不同而异。播种后30、60、120d转双价基因棉和亲本常规棉根际土壤碱性磷酸酶活性无显著差异;土壤脲酶和过氧化氢酶活性随棉花生育进程其变化趋势虽各不相同,但同一生育期转双价基因棉与亲本常规棉根际土壤脲酶和过氧化氢酶活性均无显著差异。表明,土壤酶活性和速效养分含量受转双价基因棉的影响较小,其变化主要受生育期的影响。     

Interconversion of trans, trans and cis, trans farnesol by enzymes from Andrographis

When trans, trans-farnesol [4,8,12-¹⁴C₃,1-³H₂] is isomerized to cis, trans-farnesol by soluble enzymes from Andrographis paniculata tissue cultures, 50% of the tritium label is lost. The same loss is observed when isomerization occurs in the opposite direction. This is in accordance with the proposed mechanism for isomerization via aldehydes.     

Nitrogen-containing non-steroidal secondary metabolites of Solanum, Cyphomandra, Lycianthes and Margaranthus

Of the 49 species of Solanum studied, cuscohygrine has been detected in 25, solamine and related amines in 17 and solamine-derived amides in 16. Five species of Cyphomandra examined all contained both amines and amides. From roots of Margaranthus solanaceus cuscohygrine has been isolated which probably occurs, too, in roots of Lycianthes rantonnettii. The distribution of these compounds throughout the taxa could be of chemotaxonomic value.     

Recent advances in the cryopreservation of shoot-derived germplasm of economically important fruit trees of Actinidia, Diospyros, Malus, Olea, Prunus, Pyrus and Vitis

This paper presents the advances made over the last decade in cryopreservation of economically important vegetatively propagated fruit trees. Cryopreservation protocols have been established using both dormant buds sampled on field-grown plants and shoot tips sampled on in vitro plantlets. In the case of dormant buds, scions are partially dehydrated by storage at − 5 °C, and then cooled slowly to − 30 °C using low cooling rates (c.a. 1 °C/h) before immersion in liquid nitrogen. After slow rewarming and rehydration of samples, regrowth takes place either through grafting of buds on rootstocks or excision of apices and inoculation in vitro. In the case of shoot tips of in vitro plantlets, the cryopreservation techniques employed are the following: controlled rate cooling procedures involving slow prefreezing followed by immersion in liquid nitrogen or vitrification-based procedures including encapsulation–dehydration, vitrification, encapsulation–vitrification and droplet-vitrification. The current status of cryopreservation for a series of fruit tree species including Actinidia, Diospyros, Malus, Olea, Prunus, Pyrus and Vitis is presented. Routine application of cryopreservation for long-term germplasm storage in genebanks is currently limited to apple and pear, for which large cryopreserved collections have been established at NCGRP, Fort Collins (USA), using dormant buds and in vitro shoot tips, respectively. However, there are a growing number of examples of pilot scale testing experiments under way for different species in various countries. Progress in the further development and application of cryopreservation techniques will be made through a better understanding of the mechanisms involved in the induction of tolerance to dehydration and cryopreservation in frozen explants.     

Dinuclear ruthenium sawhorse-type complexes containing bridging ligands with ferrocenyl substituents in endo/endo, endo/exo and exo/exo orientations

The dinuclear ruthenium complexes Ru₂(CO)₄(OOCC₅H₄FeC₅H₅)₂L₂ (L = NC₅H₅: 1, L = PPh₃: 2) have been synthesized from Ru₃(CO)₁₂, ferrocene carboxylic acid and pyridine or triphenylphosphine, respectively. The single-crystal X-ray structure analysis reveals for 1 and 2 a Ru₂(CO)₄ sawhorse backbone with the two ferrocenyl substituents of the two carboxylato bridges being endo/exo with respect to each other in the solid state. With the new pyridine derivative NC₅H₄OOCC₅H₄FeC₅H₅ (4-ferrocenoyl pyridine) (3) as axial ligand, the complex Ru₂(CO)₄(OOCC₅H₄FeC₅H₅)₂(NC₅H₄OOCC₅H₄FeC₅H₅)₂ (4) was obtained, the single crystal X-ray structure analysis showing an exo/exo orientation of the two carboxylato bridges in the solid state. The endo/endo orientation is found in the solid-state structure of Ru₂(CO)₄(HNOCC₅H₄FeC₅H₅)₂(PPh₃)₂ (5), the two OCNH bridges being transoïd with respect to each other; this complex is accessible from Ru₃(CO)₁₂, ferrocenamide and triphenylphosphine.     

Rhizobium pisi sv. trifolii K3.22 harboring nod genes of the Rhizobium leguminosarum sv. trifolii cluster

The taxonomic status of the Rhizobium sp. K3.22 clover nodule isolate was studied by multilocus sequence analysis (MLSA) of 16S rRNA and six housekeeping chromosomal genes, as well as by a subsequent phylogenic analysis. The results revealed full congruence with the Rhizobium pisi DSM 30132^T core genes, thus supporting the same taxonomic position for both strains. However, the K3.22 plasmid symbiosis nod genes demonstrated high sequence similarity to Rhizobium leguminosarum sv. trifolii, whereas the R. pisi DSM 30132^Tnod genes were most similar to R. leguminosarum sv. viciae. The strains differed in the host range nodulation specificity, since strain K3.22 effectively nodulated red and white clover but not vetch, in contrast to R. pisi DSM 30132^T, which effectively nodulated vetch but was not able to nodulate clover. Both strains had the ability to form nodules on pea and bean but they differed in bean cultivar specificity. The R. pisi K3.22 and DSM 30132^T strains might provide evidence for the transfer of R. leguminosarum sv. trifolii and sv. viciae symbiotic plasmids occurring in natural soil populations.     

Volatile constituents of Plus and minus strains of Blakeslea trispora

Identification of the predominant constituents produced by the plus and the minus strains of Blakeslea trispora is described. The occurrence of xylenes in the volatiles produced by the plus strain is reported. Additionally, production of 3-hydroxy-3-methylbutanal by the plus strain and dimethyl allyl alcohol by the minus strains were confirmed. Isoamyl alcohol, 1-octen-3-ol, 3-octanol and β-phenethyl alcohol were identified in volatiles from both strains.     

Cortinarius sect. Brunnei (Basidiomycota, Agaricales) in North Europe

The section Brunnei was extensively studied based on material from North Europe. To stabilise the nomenclature we studied the relevant types of taxa included in this section. Phylogenetic relationships and species limits were investigated using rDNA ITS sequences and the results were compared with the morphological data. We recognised 11 species: Cortinarius brunneus, C. clarobrunneus comb. nov., C. coleoptera, C. ectypus, C. gentilis, C. glandicolor (neotypified), C. pseudorubricosus, and four species described as new C. caesiobrunneus, C. albogaudis, C. carabus, and C. cicindela. They are described here and their taxonomy, ecology, distribution, and relationships are discussed. In addition, a key to species of the section Brunnei is provided. A total of 77 new sequences of 11 species are published including nine type sequences. Also the taxonomic assignments of sequences in the public databases belonging to the section Brunnei are revised.
