Rpfan37在刺槐共生结瘤过程中的功能探究

目的:研究刺槐中与磷脂酰肌醇转运蛋白有较高同源性的基因Rpfan37的功能,为探究相关基因参与豆科植物与根瘤菌共生结瘤过程提供新的思路。方法:通过前期研究,建立豆科植物刺槐与共生根瘤菌互作的抑制差减杂交反交文库,筛选疑似与共生结瘤相关的基因。利用PCR技术快速克隆经实时荧光定量PCR技术(qRT-PCR)分析基因在不同接菌时间及不同植物组织的表达。构建RNA干扰(RNAi)重组载体,转农杆菌介导转化植物根部,接种根瘤菌后验证该基因在刺槐共生结瘤过程的功能。结果:基因表达分析显示,在接菌与未接菌的刺槐根中,处理后第15天,Rpfan37表达均显著上调,但接菌与未接菌处理对该基因表达无显著影响;在成熟的根瘤中,该基因仅为低水平表达。RNAi转化植株的鲜重、株高、根长及结瘤数较对照组显著降低。在显微镜下观察到RNAi植株根毛发育异常;与对照相比,RNAi转化植株形成的根毛卷曲、根毛侵染线及根瘤原基数目均显著降低。根瘤石蜡切片结果显示RNAi植株根瘤中的侵染细胞与对照相比明显减少,分析豆血红蛋白表达发现,RNAi植株中根瘤发育成熟过程明显受阻。结论:在豆科植物刺槐中发现的相关基因Rpfan37能够参与刺槐共生结瘤过程,为研究磷脂酰肌醇转运蛋白在共生结瘤过程中的作用提供了新的理论基础。     

蚕豆植株中酰脲分布和叶片中酰脲水解活性

蚕豆根、茎和叶含有0.31～0.70 μmol酰脲·g~(-1)FW,并受结瘤和生长发育的影响。摘除正在生长的器官可观察到同腋位叶片酞脲含量暂时升高现象。 叶片中酰脲主要是尿囊酸。尿囊素酶和脲酶活性分别为0.30 μmol尿囊酸·g~(-1)FW·h~(-1)和0.19 μmol NH_3·g~(-1)FW·h~(-1)。尿囊酸含量和尿囊素酶活性日变化相似,只是后者峰值比前者出现早。     

豆科树种回接根瘤菌的研究

 作者对八种豆科树种的根瘤菌回接进行了研究,不回接根瘤菌的对照植株不结瘤或有少且小的根瘤,而接菌植株的根瘤数量多且个体大;接菌植株的株高、干重及总氮量分别比不接菌的对照植株高出0.7～3.2、1.3～15.8和11.3～14.8倍。根瘤固定的氮量占幼苗生长所需氮的一半以上,固定的氮绝大部分运输到植株其它部位,分配到地上部分的氮素多于根部。固氮量与幼苗生物量显著相关。固氮作用增加了植物对磷、钾元素的吸收和积累。速生树种南洋楹(Albizia falcata)和非速生树种格木(Erythrophloeum fordii)幼苗的结瘤、固氮及生长状况较好,表现出较高的结瘤固氮潜能。     

脲酶抑制剂氢醌对大豆结瘤、固氮和木质部溶质氮形态的影响

首次报导了在白浆土和砂壤土上使用氢醌(HQ)抑制土壤脲酶活性,有效地缓解尿素分解产物及其随后的氧化产物对大豆结瘤和固氮活性的抑制效应,结果表明:1.HQ浓度在40PPM以内对大豆幼苗生长及初生结瘤表现促进作用;进一步提高HQ浓度将使大豆根系生长受阻变态而阻止结瘤。2.HQ(10—50PPM)提高了离体活性大豆根瘤类苗体悬液的耗氧量(79.4—86.1％)和琥珀酸脱氢酶活性(124.7—138.4％)。3.盆栽和田间试验证实,由于HQ缓解了尿素的分解,从而颇大减轻了尿素对大豆结瘤和固氮(乙炔还原活性)的抑制效应;通过大豆木质部中溶质氮形态(酰胺、酰脲和硝酸盐)的分析进一步证实了,大豆植株从根部向地上部运输的氮素形态同土壤氮转化强度和根瘤固氮强度(酰脲相对丰度)之间的紧密联系。4.由于麦秸还田土壤脲酶活性提高,故应提高HQ剂量;与此同时,通过麦秸的“氮因子效应”便能完全解除尿素对大豆结瘤固氮的抑制,并为大豆籽实发育提供了丰富的土壤氮源。

非豆科植物共生固氮的研究II．沙棘根瘤内生菌的分离与回接

用组织培养的方法,从沙棘(Hippophae rhamnoides L.)根瘤中分离到一种孢囊放线菌。其菌丝分枝、有横隔、末端膨大形成谷穗状孢囊,孢囊破裂后释放出球形或椭圆形孢囊孢子;菌丝断裂可形成多种形态的拟类菌体。回接试验的结果证明,它对沙棘幼根具有侵染能力。接种8天后即可结癌,6个月届结瘤率达100％,平均每株结瘤88个。固氮酶活力达到36.23mol C2H4／g．鲜重．Min。接种植株与对照相比,地上部分干重增加近3倍,含氮量增加77.9％。试验证实了这株孢囊放线菌确属沙棘根瘤内生菌。     

基于高通量测序分析西藏沙棘根瘤内生菌的多样性

根瘤是微生物侵染植物根部并与之形成的共生结构,这些微生物都可被称为植物内生菌。豆科植物根瘤中的内生菌常常又被称为根瘤菌,而侵染非豆科植物形成根瘤的主要是放线菌弗兰克氏菌,这些非豆科植物又被称为放线菌结瘤植物。西藏沙棘是一种典型的放线菌结瘤植物,由于其分布生境的特殊性,对其根瘤内生菌的研究具有重要的生态意义。对于西藏沙棘根瘤内生菌的研究,培养方法因难以模拟自然条件而不易获得纯培养,高通量测序技术对其多样性的研究提供了便利。因此,本研究以生长在甘肃省天祝县金强河河滩地的西藏沙棘根瘤为材料,采用16S rRNA基因扩增子高通量测序方法,结合OTU分析,对西藏沙棘根瘤内生菌的多样性进行探讨。实验结果表明,西藏沙棘根瘤内生菌具有丰富的多样性,根瘤内的优势属为共生固氮的弗兰克氏菌属（Frankia）,其相对丰度为47.63%,共检测到7个弗兰克氏菌属的OTUs;根瘤内除弗兰克氏菌外,还存在大量的非弗兰克氏菌,共检测到1523个OTUs,隶属于22个门、33个纲、69个目、113个科和202个属,相对丰度排名前9的属中有25个非弗兰克氏菌属的OTUs。该研究也表明,西藏沙棘根瘤内生菌具有丰富的多样性,西藏沙棘根瘤中不仅存在着可共生固氮的弗兰克氏菌,并且还分布着非弗兰克氏菌;在同一根瘤样品中,弗兰克氏菌属还具有不同的物种。本研究不仅拓展了西藏沙棘根瘤内生菌多样性的研究方法,还为同一寄主植物中弗兰克氏菌多样性的研究提供了分析思路。

ARDRA对植物根瘤内共生放线菌Frankia多样性的研究

Coiled-coil nanomechanics and uncoiling and unfolding of the superhelix and alpha-helices of myosin

The nanomechanical properties of the coiled-coils of myosin are fundamentally important in understanding muscle assembly and contraction. Force spectra of single molecules of double-headed myosin, single-headed myosin, and coiled-coil tail fragments were acquired with an atomic force microscope and displayed characteristic triphasic force-distance responses to stretch: a rise phase (R) and a plateau phase (P) and an exponential phase (E). The R and P phases arise mainly from the stretching of the coiled-coils, with the hinge region being the main contributor to the rise phase at low force. Only the E phase was analyzable by the worm-like chain model of polymer elasticity. Restrained molecular mechanics simulations on an existing x-ray structure of scallop S2 yielded force spectra with either two or three phases, depending on the mode of stretch. It revealed that coiled-coil chains separate completely near the end of the P phase and the stretching of the unfolded chains gives rise to the E phase. Extensive conformational searching yielded a P phase force near 40 pN that agreed well with the experimental value. We suggest that the flexible and elastic S2 region, particularly the hinge region, may undergo force-induced unfolding and extend reversibly during actomyosin powerstroke.     

放牧对牧草光合作用、呼吸作用和氮、碳吸收与转运的影响

研究放牧对草地植物生理活动的影响,对于揭示草地放牧演替的生理机制有重要意义.大量研究表明,家畜放牧对牧草光合作用、呼吸作用以及C和N吸收与转运的影响,可以分为生理伤害和生理恢复2个阶段.放牧通过改变草地冠层结构影响牧草光合作用,净光合作用速率短期内迅速下降,随着叶面积指数增加又逐渐上升,呼吸作用有相似的变化趋势.牧草放牧后再生长所需的C和N最初主要来自根系和留茬中的贮藏物质,此后随着牧草生长恢复逐渐由同化作用供给,C代谢与土壤N水平负相关.放牧后牧草生理活动变化与牧草遗传特性、种间竞争、家畜放牧特征、非生物环境等因素密切相关.     

Synthesis of hapten and conjugates of coumestrol and development of immunoassay

3-O-Carboxymethylcoumestrol was prepared as the hapten for immunoassay by a partial alkylation of coumestrol with ethyl chloroacetate in acetone alkalized with potassium carbonate. 3-O-Ethoxycarbonylmethylcoumestrol was separated by column chromatography and finally was hydrolyzed with formic acid. 1H and 13C NMR data (APT, COSY, HMQC, and HMBC) revealed that the reaction was regioselective, as 3-O-ethoxycarboxymethylcoumestrol was the only monosubstituted derivative. The hapten was then conjugated to bovine serum albumin and used for immunization of rabbits. A radioimmunoassay (RIA) system was established based on the polyclonal antiserum and a 125I-labeled hapten-tyrosine methyl ester conjugate as the radioligand. Parameters of the RIA: sensitivity: 12 pg per tube, 50% intercept: 140 pg per tube, working range: 20-4000 pg per tube. The cross-reactivity of a panel isoflavonoid and lignan phytoestrogens was either negligible (e.g. formononetin 0.07%; biochanin A 0.06%) or not detectable at all. The major immunoreactive peak in HPLC fractions from an alfalfa extract had the same retention time as coumestrol standard and represented 94.8% of the signal. The remaining 5.2% of immunoreactivity was distributed between five minor peaks. We conclude that after the validation for particular matrices, the method will be a useful tool for analysis of coumestrol, especially in low volume and low concentration samples.     

Kinetics and thermodynamics of peroxidase- and laccase-catalyzed oxidation of N-substituted phenothiazines and phenoxazines

N -substituted phenothiazines (PTs) and phenoxazines (POs) catalyzed by fungal Coprinus cinereus peroxidase and Polyporus pinsitus laccase were investigated at pH 4–10. In the case of peroxidase, an apparent bimolecular rate constant (expressed as k _cat/K _m) varied from 1 ×10⁷M⁻¹s⁻¹to 2.6×10⁸M⁻¹s⁻¹ at pH 7.0. The constants for PO oxidation were higher in comparison to PT. pH dependence revealed two or three ionizable groups with pK _a values of 4.9–5.7 and 7.7–9.7 that significantly affected the activity of peroxidase. Single-turnover experiments showed that the limiting step of PT oxidation was reduction of compound II and second-order rate constants were obtained which were consistent with the constants at steady-state conditions. Laccase-catalyzed PT and PO oxidation rates were lower; apparent bimolecular rate constants varied from 1.8×10⁵M⁻¹s⁻¹ to 2.0×10⁷M⁻¹s⁻¹ at pH 5.3. PO constants were higher in comparison to PT, as was the case with peroxidase. The dependence of the apparent bimolecular constants of compound II or copper type 1 reduction, in the case of peroxidase or laccase, respectively, was analyzed in the framework of the Marcus outer-sphere electron-transfer theory. Peroxidase-catalyzed reactions with PT, as well as PO, fitted the same hyperbolic dependence with a maximal oxidation rate of 1.6×10⁸M⁻¹s⁻¹ and a reorganization energy of 0.30 eV. The respective parameters for laccase were 5.0×10⁷M⁻¹s⁻¹ and 0.29 eV. Received: 20 September 1999 / Accepted: 24 February 2000
