利用鱼类性逆转技术创制黄颡鱼XX雄鱼的方法

目前黄颡鱼(Pelteobagrus fulvidraco Richardson)生产上使用的母本非常混杂, 成为影响黄颡鱼产业发展的一个突出问题。建立一个优良性状稳定的全雌家系对于全雄黄颡鱼和杂交黄颡鱼的生产尤为重要, 而将XX雌性黄颡鱼逆转为XX雄性黄颡鱼是创制全雌家系中的关键一步。黄颡鱼性染色体连锁分子标记的开发为鉴定XX雄鱼提供了技术支撑。研究使用不同浓度的17α-甲基睾酮(MT)和芳香化酶抑制剂来曲唑(LZ)处理黄颡鱼鱼苗54d (7—60日龄)。61日龄测量并统计各组鱼的存活率、体长及体重。解剖观察性腺结构, 结合性腺组织切片和性别分子标记分析各组实验鱼中XX鱼性腺发育情况。结果显示: 2种药物对黄颡鱼的存活率影响较小, 与对照组没有显著差异; MT处理的XX性腺为空腔状精小囊结构, 不能逆转为功能性精巢; 适当剂量的LZ可以将XX雌性黄颡鱼性逆转成正常的XX雄鱼, 诱导效果随着剂量的增加而增强。用完全逆转的XX生理雄鱼分别与XX雌鱼和YY雌鱼交配, 能够正常繁殖并具备较好的繁殖能力。研究建立了一种使用芳香化酶抑制剂来曲唑创制黄颡鱼XX雄鱼的方法, 为全雄黄颡鱼的品种改良及新品种的培育奠定了基础。     

高温和皮质醇对黄颡鱼性别分化的影响

研究以性染色体类型已确定且已有性别特异分子标记的黄颡鱼为研究对象, 开展高温与皮质醇诱导黄颡鱼(Tachysurus fulvidraco Richardson)XX个体雄性化组织学进程研究, 以期为环境应激诱导鱼类雄性化提供研究基础。通过对每尾鱼采用性别特异性标记鉴定遗传性别(XX或XY)及组织学鉴定生理型性别, 仅经过24d的处理(12—35日龄), 高温或皮质醇便能诱导XX遗传型个体雄性化。在此过程中, 部分XX遗传型个体卵母细胞受到抑制, 之后发育成带有卵巢腔的精巢结构。62日龄时, XX伪雄鱼性腺较正常XY雄鱼大, XX伪雄鱼体重与正常XY雄鱼相近, 而显著大于未发生性逆转的XX雌鱼。122日龄时, XX伪雄鱼从62日龄带有卵巢腔的精巢结构发育成具有典型的精小叶结构样精巢, 且都具有生理性雄鱼特有的生殖突, 推测这些雄鱼可能具有与正常雄鱼类似的生殖能力。部分XX个体对高温处理不敏感, 没有发生性逆转, 温度处理反而加快了卵巢发育的进程, 这些个体对高温的耐受性和另外一些发生性逆转的个体对温度的敏感性值得进一步研究。     

黄颡鱼XX伪雄鱼诱导与全雌种群规模化繁育

研究利用3种雄性化因素, 包括17α-甲基睾丸酮(MT, 5 mg/kg)、来曲唑(LZ, 300 mg/kg)和高温(33.5℃) 联合处理12—65日龄黄颡鱼幼鱼, 并将性成熟的XX伪雄鱼与正常XX雌鱼进行人工繁殖, 开展了全雌黄颡鱼(Tachysurus fulvidraco)规模化繁殖与苗种培育工作。研究发现, MT、LZ和高温共同作用可诱导XX黄颡鱼逆转为生理型雄性, 完全性逆转个体运动型精子比例与XY雄鱼无显著性差异, 组织学切片也显示其精巢中存在大量精子细胞, 推测XX伪雄鱼具有正常的繁殖功能。随后, 以XX伪雄鱼为父本, 正常XX雌鱼为母本开展了规模化人工繁殖, 获得了57万尾基因型全部为XX的黄颡鱼苗种, 并将其成功培育成大规格鱼种。在幼鱼60日龄和120日龄时取样发现, 分别有2.8%和12.0%的个体发生了不同程度的雄性化, 推测其可能受到池塘自然高温的影响而发生了性逆转。其余XX雌鱼卵巢发育良好, 来年繁殖季节可作为规模化人工繁殖的雌性亲本。研究成功开展了全雌黄颡鱼规模化繁育工作, 为全雌黄颡鱼规模化繁育体系的建立提供了基础, 也为黄颡鱼新品种选育中雌性选育提供了保障。     

黄颡鱼性别连锁标记Pf62-Y的染色体定位简

正黄颡鱼(Pelteobagrus fulvidraco)隶属鲇形目、科、黄颡属,广泛分布于我国各大水域,是我国重要经济鱼类之一。桂建芳等[1]进行了黄颡鱼银染核型研究,沈俊宝等[2]也报道了黄颡鱼的核型,其核型为2n=52。刘汉勤等[3]利用人工雌核发育等技术开展了全雄黄颡鱼研究,认为黄颡鱼的遗传性别决定类型为XY雄性异配型,Wang,et al.在黄颡鱼中开展了性别连锁的DNA标记分离研究,     

高体鳑鲏的性选择问题研究

以高体鳑鲏为研究对象,分别设置个体大小不同的雌鱼和雄鱼进行性选择实验并验证性选择理论,对雌鱼的怀卵量和雄鱼的空间学习记忆能力也进行了检测。雄鱼对雌鱼的性选择实验结果表明,雄鱼对大个体雌鱼有明显的选择偏好;雄鱼选择雌鱼的次数及停留时间与雌鱼的体长、体高、产卵管长度等特征呈正相关。推测雄鱼是基于直接收益的角度,即最大限度的获得较多的后代及较高的后代存活率对雌鱼进行选择,因为大个体雌鱼拥有长的产卵管及绝对多的处于Ⅴ时相的成熟卵粒,可以提供较多的后代及较高的后代存活率。雌鱼对雄鱼的性选择结果表明,雌性高体鳑鲏对大个体雄鱼也表现出了明显的偏好;雌鱼选择雄鱼的次数及停留时间与雄鱼的体长、体高呈正相关;大个体雄鱼的空间学习记忆能力比小个体强,能更快捷地找到并占领质量好的河蚌而成为领域鱼。从直接收益的观点看,雌鱼选择大个体的雄鱼可能是因为大个体雄鱼可以更加容易、迅速和便捷地寻找到质量好的河蚌引领雌鱼进行产卵,从而保证子代的存活率。

通过性别三系配套可获得100％莫桑比克罗非雄鱼XY鱼,并指出生产上的应用技术关键就是实现原系XX♀、雄性纯合系YY和雄性纯合转化系YY♀之间的三系配套。对遗传上全雄鱼与生理上雄鱼人工控制的途径进行了分析比较。     

黄颡鱼雌雄性的生理生化和mTOR信号通路基因表达分析

同龄的黄颡鱼（Pelteobagrus fulvidraco）呈现明显的两性生长差异，即雄性个体的体长、体重皆大于雌性个体。而mTOR信号通路在细胞生长、发育以及蛋白合成过程中起重要作用。为了了解黄颡鱼两性差异的营养生长机制与mTOR信号通路之间的关联性，本试验首先在生理生化特性方面对雌、雄黄颡鱼的肌肉营养成分进行了比较分析。结果表明，在雌、雄黄颡鱼的比较分析中，除了两者的水分、粗蛋白、粗脂肪含量差别不大以外，在矿物元素、氨基酸组成、蛋白的氨基酸组成和脂肪酸组成等方面，雌性黄颡鱼肌肉的营养品质相对雄性更优。针对mTOR信号通路主要基因开展实时荧光定量PCR分析，结果显示，除性腺组织外，AKT1、AKT2、AKT3、mTOR、S6KA、S6KB、4E-BP1基因在雄性黄颡鱼的肌肉、肝、肾和心脏组织中的表达均显著高于雌性，这可能与雌雄黄颡鱼生长差异有关。本研究为进一步探索黄颡鱼两性生长差异的分子机制奠定了试验基础。     

17β-雌二醇诱导斑点叉尾鮰雌性化研究

研究以人工配合饲料为17β-雌二醇(17β-estradiol, 17β-E₂)载体, 对斑点叉尾鮰(Ictalurus punctatus)开口仔鱼连续饲喂27d进行雌性性别诱导, 探究斑点叉尾鮰XY雄鱼雌性化的合适17β-E₂剂量。60日龄测量并统计各组试验鱼的生长数据、存活率, 解剖观察性腺结构, 结合遗传性别鉴定结果计算性逆转率, 并通过组织切片分析各组试验鱼中XX和XY雌鱼卵巢发育情况。270日龄检测XY雌鱼和对照组雌鱼的鳃、心脏、肝脏、肾脏、卵巢和肌肉等组织中17β-E₂含量。研究进一步地采用qRT-PCR检测270日龄雌雄性别分化基因foxl2和dmrt1在XX和XY雌鱼卵巢中的表达水平。结果显示: 各组XY雌鱼的比例和卵母细胞数量均随17β-E₂剂量的提高而增加, 且核仁数量也随之增多, 而核质比相应减小; 各组XY雌鱼的体重和体长随着17β-E₂剂量的提高先增加后减小, 但存活率没有显著性变化; 各组XY雌鱼与对照组雌鱼的鳃、心脏、肝脏、肾脏和肌肉组织中17β-E₂含量均无显著性差异, 卵巢中17β-E₂含量与添加剂量呈正相关; 雌性性别分化基因foxl2在XY雌鱼中的表达量显著升高, 雄性性别分化基因dmrt1在XY雌鱼中的表达量显著降低。研究建立了17β-E₂诱导XY雄性斑点叉尾鮰雌性化方法, 为后续全雄斑点叉尾鮰新品种的培育奠定基础。     

远缘杂交导致不同倍性鱼的形成

远缘杂交可以使基因组从一个物种转移到另一个物种中,从而导致杂交后代的表现型和基因型都发生改变.本文描述了在红鲫(♀)与鲤鱼(♂)的远缘杂交后代中,形成了F3~F18两性可育异源四倍体鲫鲤群体(4n=200,简称为4nAT).4nAT的雌、雄个体分别产生的二倍体卵子和二倍体精子,经过雌核发育和雄核发育,在没有染色体加倍处理情况下,分别发育成雌核发育二倍体后代和雄核发育二倍体后代.其中雌核发育体系衍生出具有遗传变异的改良四倍体鲫鲤和改良二倍体鱼,二倍体杂交鱼产生不减数的配子的现象与减数分裂前核内复制或者核内有丝分裂或者生殖细胞融合有关.用雄性4nAT与雌性二倍体鱼进行倍间交配大规模制备了不育三倍体鱼.在红鲫(♀)与团头鲂(♂)的远缘杂交后代中,成功地获得两性可育的天然雌核发育红鲫(2n=100),不育的三倍体鲫鲂(3n=124)以及两性可育的四倍体鲫鲂(4n=148),此外,还制备了两种五倍体鲫鲂(5n=172;5n=198).该文在细胞和分子水平上对不同倍性鱼的生物学特点和形成机制进行了比较,揭示了远缘杂交或者将远缘杂交与雌核发育和雄核发育相结合的方法在具有遗传变异的不同倍性鱼的形成中发挥着积极作用,这在生物进化和鱼类遗传育种方面都具有重要意义.     

应用DNA分子标记鉴定黄颡鱼、瓦氏黄颡鱼及其杂交种的研究

为区分黄颡鱼（Pelteobagrus fulvidraco Richardson）、瓦氏黄颡鱼（Pelteobagrus vachelli Richardson）及其杂交种,前期研究构建了一个YY超雄黄颡鱼的BAC文库并筛选到了一个包含性别连锁标记Pf62-Y的BAC克隆。研究对该BAC克隆进行测序并鉴定到了一个新基因Inad-like,而且Inad-like的外显子序列在X和Y染色体上基本一致。通过黄颡鱼Inad-like的外显子序列及序列的保守性我们设计引物在瓦氏黄颡鱼中扩增获得了其部分内含子序列。通过内含子序列比对,发现瓦氏黄颡鱼比黄颡鱼少了一个DNA片段。基于黄颡鱼和瓦氏黄颡鱼的显著遗传差异,设计了一对引物,该引物在黄颡鱼和瓦氏黄颡鱼基因组中分别扩增出1908和1178 bp DNA片段,而且在杂交黄颡鱼中同时扩增出这两个DNA片段。总之,这个新的遗传标记提供了一种稳定、高效识别黄颡鱼及其与瓦氏黄颡鱼杂交种的方法。     

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.

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.
