烟草愈伤组织继代培养与分化期间核酸代谢的比较研究

柳叶烟草愈伤组织在分化和芽原基形成期间,DNA 和RNA 含量均高于继代培养物;在芽原基形成后和幼芽生长期间(12天以后),DNA和RNA 含量持续上升,而同期继代培养物巳进入生长静止期,DNA 和RNA 含量基本不变或略有下降。根据RNA 电泳结果还进一步分析了两种愈伤组织培养物各RNA 组分变化与总RNA 含量变化的关系。分化培养物在芽原基形成时有明显升高的RNase 活性峰和持续上升的RNA 合成速率;而此时期继代培养物的RNase 活性及RNA 合成能力均较低;分化愈伤组织的DNA 合成速率在幼芽生长期间仍维持上升趋势,且显著高于同期继代愈伤组织的合成速率。这些结果表明,烟草愈伤组织分化培养物比继代培养物有更旺盛的核酸代谢能力。     

齿瓣延胡索胚状体无性系的初步建立

取中草药野生齿瓣延胡索(Corydalis remeta Fisch.ex Maxim)的花蕾接种。去分化培养基为Miller和B5,附加一定量的激素,诱导产生愈伤组织,进而形成胚性细胞团块并分化出胚状体。继代和分化培养基为MS,附加不同配比量的激素,共设计了15个组合,均能分化出苗,但分化能力有差异。经筛选,MS-0.5mgBA/1+0.2mgNAA/1做为继代和分化培养基较好,既能分化大量胚状体,又能产生较多的苗。两年多来,已继代13次,仍保持了不断分化胚状体和苗的能力。部分试管苗移栽大田,长势良好。目前已初步建立了野生齿瓣延胡索胚状体无性系。

以非洲菊(Gerbera janesonii Bolus)品种‘Sunanda'试管苗幼叶的带叶叶柄为材料,研究了培养基、外植体类型和继代次数等因素对愈伤组织诱导及分化的影响.结果表明:培养基上附加不同植物生长调节剂所诱导出的愈伤组织在形态和分化能力上存在显著差异,叶柄基部诱导愈伤组织的最适培养基是MS+TDZ 0.3 mg L-1+NAA0.1 mg L-1.外植体以叶片长度＞0.5 cm,叶片已舒展,颜色嫩绿的幼叶最佳,继代培养基以MS+KT 1.0 mg L-1较适宜,愈伤组织在分化培养基MS+6-BA 2.0 mg L-1+NAA 0.1 mg L-1上分化出芽的同时还会增殖,分化率达87.4%,继代培养2次的愈伤组织分化率可提高至95%.不定芽在生根培养基1/2MS+IBA0.6 mg L-1上的生根率达100%,试管苗移栽45 d后,成活率达97%以上.     

不同分化状态的白百利烟草愈伤组织在生长过程中核酸蛋白质的变化

本文报道了在正常分化芽和根、诱导芽或恨定向发生的白百利烟草(Nico-tiana tabacum Baibaili)愈伤组织在生长过程中DNA、RNA和蛋白质变化的结果。MS+0.2mg/1NAA+0.2mg/1 KT诱导白百利烟草愈伤组织正常分化出芽和根,MS+0.05mg/1NAA+2mg/1KT诱导愈防组织定向地芽发生,MS+0.5mg/1NAA+0.05mg/1KT诱导愈伤组织定向地根发生。在定向诱导芽或根发生愈伤组织里的RNA和蛋白质合成的第一个高峰出现,比正常发生芽和根的愈伤组织里DNA、RNA和蛋白质的第一个高峰迟5天,在芽发生的愈伤组织里DNA峰出现也迟5天,在根发生的愈伤组织里DNA蜂,则相同于正常分化的愈伤组织DNA峰出现。外源的植物生长物质诱导器官定向发生的作用表现在RNA水平上。在三种分化状态的愈伤组织里,蛋白质组成在第8天表现出明显的差异。41KD和46KD蛋白质在器官的定向发生中可能起着相当重要的作用。

高等植物胚胎的发育生物学研究——Ⅵ.粳稻胚分化发育期间一些大分子物质的动态

鉴测了粳稻胚的发育进程及不同分化发育时期中DNA、RNA、蛋白质、淀粉含量和鲜重、干重、细胞数的变化。 开花后6～13天(胚分化第一到第四叶原基期间)胚细胞数增加时,DNA、RNA含量迅速上升。此后细胞数和DNA、RNA含量都趋于稳定,但RNA在18～25天再次增长。每胚蛋白质和干重基本上随RNA含量相应地变化。 每毫克胚于重的核酸和蛋白质含量在13天出现明显的转折。平均每细胞的DNA含量在整个发育期保持稳定,RNA第一阶段的增长只持续到分化完成的前夕,而蛋白质在25天以前一直增加。 胚内淀粉的累积在整个胚形成期呈现三段斜率不同的直线。以单位干重表示时则在8天左右和21天出现两个高峰,先于RNA和蛋白质两次积累的高峰。 在大分子物质的变化与胚胎发育进程相互关系并与籼稻比较的基础上,将稻胚发育划分为原胚期、分化期、成熟期和休止期。     

Topological linkage of circular DNA molecules promoted by Ustilago rec 1 protein and topoisomerase

We studied the formation of linked circular DNA molecules promoted by the combined action of rec 1 protein and type I topoisomerase of Ustilago maydis. When ATP was added as cofactor to reactions containing rec 1 protein, pairs of homologous circular DNA molecules became linked after addition of topoisomerase. Closed circular duplex molecules could be joined at homologous sites with circular single-stranded molecules or with other circular duplex molecules, provided that homologous single-stranded DNA fragments or RNA polymerase and nucleoside triphosphates were also added. Complexes formed were topologically linked through regions of heteroduplex DNA. When the analog adenylyl-imidodiphosphate was substituted for ATP, nonhomologous pairs of circular DNA molecules became linked.     

Isolation and sequence analysis of a barley alpha-amylase cDNA clone

We have isolated a cDNA clone derived from poly(A+) RNA from barley aleurone cells stimulated with gibberellic acid. This cDNA clone contains one open reading frame coding for 438 amino acids. The cloned DNA hybridizes to a poly(A+) RNA species 1550 bases in size, the same size as the most abundant poly(A+) RNA molecules in stimulated cells. RNA complementary to this clone can be translated to make immunoprecipitable alpha-amylase in the wheat germ system and increases about 5-fold in quantity after gibberellic acid stimulation of aleurone cells. In contrast, hybridization experiments using a total cDNA probe demonstrate that the most abundant mRNA population, identical in size with our cloned sequence and presumably that for alpha-amylase, increases at least 17-fold after gibberellic acid stimulation. We therefore infer that there must be at least two populations of alpha-amylase mRNA molecules derived from separate structural genes differently influenced by gibberellic acid in aleurone cells.     

Complementary DNA cloning of a novel epithelial cell marker protein, HME1, that may be down-regulated in neoplastic mammary cells.

A full-length complementary DNA clone from a normal human mammary epithelial cell (strain 184) encoding a 25-kilodalton protein, HME1, was isolated. Expression of HME1 RNA appears to be limited to epithelial cells. The HME1 sequence has extensive sequence homology with bovine 14-3-3 protein, which is an activator of tyrosine and tryptophan hydroxylase. However, the tissue distribution, arrangement of charged amino acids, and location of potential phosphorylation sites of HME1 differ from those of 14-3-3. Compared with normal mammary epithelial cells, expression of HME1 RNA was dramatically low in two cell lines derived from human mammary carcinoma that were examined, and in a line of normal mammary epithelial cells transformed by oncogenes. HME1 therefore appears to be a cellular differentiation marker that may be down-regulated during neoplastic transformation.     

Isolation and characterization of a genomic sequence of maize coding for a zein gene

Summary An EcoRI restriction endonuclease fragment of maize DNA coding for the 19,000 dalton zein protein was cloned in phage gt WES. The zein gene was identified by the electron microscopic analysis of RNA-DNA hybrids (R-loops) and DNA-DNA hybrids (D-loops). The R-loops were formed with poly(rA)-containing RNA isolated from 18 days post-pollination maize endosperm and showed no intervening non-hybridizing sequences (introns) within their 800 base length. A cDNA clone specific for the 19,000 dalton zein protein formed D-loops in the same position and orientation as the R-loops. The cloned fragment measured 4.4 kilobases (kb), the same size as an EcoRI fragment of maize DNA revealed by Southern analysis.     

Analysis of RNA flexibility by scanning force spectroscopy

Scanning force spectroscopy was used to measure the mechanical properties of double stranded RNA molecules in comparison with DNA. We find that, similar to the B–S transition in DNA, RNA molecules are stretched from the assumed A′ conformation to a stretched conformation by applying a defined force (plateau force). The force depends on the G + C content of the RNA and is distinct from that required for the B–S transition of a homologous DNA molecule. After the conformational change, DNA can be further extended by a factor of 0.7 ± 0.2 (S-factor) before melting occurs and the binding of the molecule to the cantilever is finally disrupted. For RNA, the S-factor was higher (1.0 ± 0.2) and more variable. Experiments to measure secondary structures in single stranded RNA yielded a large number of different force-distance curves, suggesting disruption and stretching of various secondary structures. Oriented attachment of the molecules to the substrate, a defined pick-up point and an increased resolution of the instrument could provide the means to analyse RNA secondary structures by scanning force spectroscopy.
