水稻RIL群体苗期耐冷性QTL分析

水稻苗期冷害是影响早春季节和高纬度地区水稻成苗和秧苗生长的重要限制因素之一。为了鉴定控制水稻苗期耐冷性的QTL,研究采用了1个水稻“粳籼交”重组自交系(RIL)群体,结合1张高密度分子遗传图谱,对3叶期幼苗经过10℃冷处理3d、恢复培养2d和4d时的秧苗存活率进行复合区间作图。亲本Lemont和特青的苗期耐冷性具有极显著差异,Lemont的苗期耐冷性很强,而特青对低温敏感。在重组自交系群体中,苗期耐冷性表现为连续变异,在两个方向上均出现大量超亲分离。共检测到5个水稻苗期耐冷性QTL,分别位于水稻1、3、8和11号染色体上,单个QTL对性状的贡献率为7％～21％。其中,4个QTL的增效基因来源于亲本Lemont,另1个QTL的增效基因来源于亲本特青。2个主效QTL(qSCT-3和qSCT-8)分别位于3号染色体标记区间RM282-RM156和8号染色体标记区间RM230—RM264,对性状的贡献率达到或接近20％,被检测到的LOD值显著较高,其增效基因均来自于耐冷性亲本Lemont。研究结果进一步揭示了水稻苗期耐冷性QTL具有丰富的位点多样性,表明耐冷性普遍较强的粳稻是发掘苗期耐冷性优异基因的主要稻种资源。     

水稻芽期耐冷性的QTL分析

本研究以98个Nipponbare/Kasalath//Nipponbare回交重组自交家系(backcross-inbred lines,BILs)组成的群体为材料,进行水稻芽期耐冷性数量性状基因座的检测和遗传效应分析.25℃正常条件下水稻发芽7 d,芽长5～10 cm,5℃低温处理10d,之后升温至25℃,缓苗10d,调查活苗率,并以活苗率作为芽期耐冷性的表型值,分析亲本和98个BILs的芽期耐冷性表现.采用Windows QTL Cartographer 1.13a软件的复合区间作图法,共检测到4个苗期耐冷性数量性状基因座(quantative trait locus,QTL),分别位于第3、第7和第12染色体上,命名为qSCT-3-1、qSCT-3-2、qSCT-7和qSCT-12.4个QTL的加性效应分别为11.16、11.14、-8.8和-14.59,可解释表型变异的12.11%,12.66%,6.82%和15.86%.     

水稻低温发芽性QTL的分子标记定位

利用1个粳／籼交来源的重组自交系群体,采用纸卷法在15℃低温条件下进行发芽试验,在发芽培养的6～14d中每天观测统计1次发芽率(％)。结合一张含有198个DNA标记的连锁图谱,用复合区间作图法定位水稻低温发芽性QTL。共检测到7个主效应QTL,分别位于水稻1、3、5、6和8号染色体上,单个QTL对性状的贡献率为5％～16％。其中,位于3号染色体标记区间RM148-RM85的qLTG-3-2和位于8号染色体标记区间RM223-RM210的qLTG-8-1对性状的贡献率最大,分别达16％和14％。QTL qLTG-3-2在发芽培养6～10d中表达,其效应由强渐弱,对性状的贡献率由发芽培养6d时的16．4％逐渐降低为发芽11d时的5．1％;而QTL qLTG-8-1则在发芽培养9～14d中起作用,其效应值由小逐渐增大,对性状的贡献率由发芽9d时的8．6％逐渐上升为发芽13～14d的14％。尽管这2个QTL加性效应的大小在低温发芽过程中按一定趋势变化,但加性效应的方向始终是一致的。QTL qLTG-3-2的增效基因来源于亲本特青,而QTL qLTG-8-1的增效基因来自于亲本Lemont。这2个QTL的增效等位基因有望作为分子标记辅助育种的操作对象,用于水稻品种低温发芽性的遗传改良。     

水稻籼粳交DH群体苗期耐冷性基因的分子标记定位

水稻苗期低温冷害导致的烂秧现象是水稻生产中重要的限制因素之一。以一个水稻籼粳交(圭630／02428)DH群体为材料,在幼苗3叶1心时用10℃低温处理3d,随后恢复培养,以恢复培养5d后的秧苗成活率(％)为指标,鉴定该DH群体的苗期耐冷性。利用已构建的RFLP连锁图谱和基于混合线性模型的定位软件QTLMapper1.0对水稻苗期耐冷性进行QTL分析,检测到控制水稻苗期耐冷性的3个QTLs,分别位于第3、11、12染色体上,贡献率分别为7．9％、18．3％和24.4％,其增效等位基因均来自于亲本“02428”。同时检测到控制水稻苗期耐冷性的上位性互作位点8个,分散分布于第2、7、8、9、11染色体上,其中有2对互作的贡献率在15％左右,这2对互作的增效基因型均为来自2个亲本的重组基因型。苗期耐冷性在2个亲本间差异很大,在DH群体中呈现出连续变异,有明显的超亲分离。这些结果表明,水稻苗期耐冷性是受多基因控制的数量性状,基因的上位性互作是其重要的遗传基础之一。     

利用染色体单片段代换系定位水稻芽期耐冷QTL

水稻(Oryza sativa)芽期耐冷性是其生长发育过程中不可忽视的重要数量性状,易受遗传背景的干扰和环境因素的影响;利用单片段代换系(SSSL.s)能减少遗传背景的干扰。该研究以85个单片段代换系为材料,其受体亲本为广陆矮4号,供体亲本为日本晴。通过单因素方差分析和Dun netts多重比较,分析单片段代换系与受体亲本之间芽期耐冷性的差异,并对代换片段上的芽期耐冷QTL进行鉴定。以F≤0.001为闽值共检测到8个芽期耐冷QTL,分别分布在第1、6、8、9和10号染色体上,其中4个QTL通过代换作图被初步定位。这些QTL加性效应均表现为增效作用,在2个年度间其加性效应值的变化范围分别为14%-44%和10%-45%,加性效应百分率的变化范围分别为700%-2 200%和500%-2 250%,其中qCTPg-2在2个年度间的加性效应均最高,分别为44%和45%。研究结果对进一步发掘和利用新的水稻芽期耐冷QTL具有重要意义。

水稻低温发芽势的遗传及数量性状基因座分析

利用籼粳交“密阳23／吉冷1号”的F2：3代200个家系作为作图群体,在14℃条件下鉴定萌发7d、11d、14d和17d时低温发芽势,并利用由SSR标记构建的分子连锁图谱为基础,对不同萌发阶段的低温发芽势进行了数量性状基因座（QTLs）检测,同时进行了低温发芽势与其他耐冷性状间的相关分析。结果表明,萌发7d时低温发芽势及其低温反应指数呈现向低发芽势和低的低温反应指数的偏态分布,而萌发11d、14d和17d时低温发芽势及其低温反应指数均呈现接近正态的单峰连续分布。萌发14d时低温发芽势与其他耐冷性的相关性较萌发7d、11d和17d时低温发芽势更为密切,与芽期耐冷性、幼苗期耐冷性、低温下幼苗生长能力和孕穗期耐冷性表现为显著或极显著的正相关。位于第2染色体RM29-RM262区间的qLVG2和第7染色体RM336-RM118区间的qLVG7-2、qCIVG7-2在萌发11d、14d和17d时均检测到;位于RM29-RM262区间的qCIVG2在萌发11d和14d时均检测到,并对表型变异的贡献率随着萌发进程而逐渐增加。与低温发芽势相关的qLVG2贡献率从6．9％增加到14.2％,qLVG7-2贡献率从9．9％增加到11．2％,而与发芽势的低温反应指数相关的qCIVG2贡献率从6.3％增加到9．0％,qCIVG7-2贡献率从8．3％增加12．9％。这些QTL的增效等位基因均来自强耐冷亲本吉冷1号,基因作用方式主要为部分显性。     

基于单片段代换系的水稻芽期耐冷QTL定位和聚合北大核心CSCD

芽期耐冷性是华南双季稻地区水稻育种的一个重要目标。虽然水稻芽期耐冷QTL的标记定位已取得了一定的进展,但是这些QTL/基因尚未在水稻育种中得到有效的应用。定位稳定表达的芽期耐冷QTL,开展QTL聚合育种是水稻芽期耐冷性育种取得突破的关键。在本研究中,利用以粳稻IR65598-112-2为供体,籼稻华粳籼74为受体构建的单片段代换系(SSSL)开展芽期耐冷QTL定位,并进行聚合育种。通过评价SSSL与受体华粳籼74的芽期耐冷性差异,定位了2个稳定的芽期耐冷QTLs(qCTBB-3和qCTBB-12)。试验表明,分别携带有耐冷QTL qCTBB-3和qCTBB-12的SSSL在冷处理后都比华粳籼74表现出更高的幼苗成活率。通过代换作图,发现在qCTBB-3区间存在2个紧密连锁的耐冷QTLs(qCTBB-3a和qCTBB-3b)。利用本研究携带qCTBB-3a/qCTBB-3b的单片段代换系和前期研究鉴定出的芽期耐冷QTL qCTBB-6的单片段代换系为亲本进行杂交,通过分子标记辅助选择,获得了2份含有这3个QTL的聚合系。耐冷性评价表明,来源于两个供体/亲本的QTL不存在显著的上位性效应,聚合系的芽期耐冷性较亲本显著增强。可见,通过聚合芽期耐冷QTLs qCTBB-3a/qCTBB-3b和qCTBB-6能显著提高水稻芽期的耐冷性,获得的QTL及三耐冷QTL聚合系为水稻芽期耐冷性分子育种提供了优良的基因资源和亲本材料。     

东乡野生稻低温发芽力QTL定位及超级稻耐冷改良

低温发芽力是限制直播稻种子成苗的主要因素之一。研究低温发芽力遗传及分子机制对选育适宜直播的优良水稻新品种意义重大。本研究利用东乡野生稻和超级稻沈农265通过多代回交和自交的方法构建的回交重组自交系群体,根据农艺性状和低温发芽力的综合表现,筛选了10份综合农艺性状良好且低温发芽力较强的株系,为超级稻沈农265低温发芽力的改良提供了基础材料。采用集团分离分析法(BSA),共检测到4个标记与低温发芽力连锁,分别是2号染色体RM324和RM166、5号染色体RM534和9号染色体RM257。进一步通过连锁分析,鉴定出15个低温发芽力相关QTL,分别位于第1、2、4、5、6、7和11号染色体,这些QTL的LOD值介于2.57~5.00之间,QTL贡献率介于11.48%~17.72%之间。其中位于2号染色体的qGP-2-1和qGP-2-4与BSA法检测到的连锁标记RM324和RM166一致,这两个位点可用于低温发芽力分子标记辅助选择。     

粳稻芽期耐冷性鉴定方法研究

利用22个粳稻品种,在不同低温胁迫、不同处理天数下进行水稻芽期耐冷性鉴定,并提出了适合于粳稻芽期耐冷性的鉴定方法.研究结果表明,在低温胁迫和不同天数的处理中,以2℃/6d低温胁迫下的22个粳稻品种死苗率的方差和变异范围表现为最大,并且死苗率的分布比较合理,据此认为该低温胁迫对于粳稻芽期耐冷性鉴定是比较合适的胁迫条件.在2℃/6d低温胁迫下,靖粳7号、辐优1号、合系15、沈农15、东农422、滇系1号等品种芽期耐冷性属3级,为强耐冷性品种;云南省粳稻品种的芽期耐冷性普遍好于东北三省的粳稻品种.     

Influence of Fluoride on Rat Kidney Antioxidant System: Effects of Methionine and Vitamin E

The aim of the study has been to determine and compare the influence upon the kidney antioxidative system, exercised by administration of vitamin E, and vitamin E in combination with methionine, under conditions of oxidative stress induced by sodium fluoride. The experiment was carried out on Wistar FL rats (adult males) that, for 35 days, were administered water, NaF, NaF with vitamin E, or vitamin E with methionine (doses: 10 mg NaF/kg of body mass/24 h, 3 mg vitamin E per 10 μl per rat for 24 h, 2 mg methionine per rat for 24 h). The influence of administered sodium fluoride and antioxidants upon the antioxidative system in kidney was examined by analyzing the concentration of malondialdehyde (MDA) and the activity of the most important antioxidative enzymes (SOD, total and both its isoenzymes, GPX, GST, GR, and CAT). The studies carried out confirmed the disadvantageous effect of the administered dose of NaF upon the antixodiative system in rats (increase in the concentration MDA, decrease activity of all antioxidative enzymes). The administration of vitamin E increased the activity of studied enzymes with the exception of glutathione reductase GR; it also reduced the procesess of lipid peroxidation. It has been found that combined doses of vitamin E and methionine were most effective in inhibiting lipid peroxidation processes. The results confirmed the antioxidative properties of methionine.     

Tuning of electronic properties of one-dimensional cyano-bridged Cu-Ni, Cu-Pd, and Cu-Pt bimetallic assemblies by stereochemistry of ligands

Preparations, XPS and electronic spectroscopy, and magnetism of seven new one-dimensional cyano-bridged coordination polymers, chiral [Cu(RR-chxn)₂][Pd(CN)₄] · 2H₂O (1), [Cu(trans-chxn)₂][M(CN)₄] · 2H₂O (2, 4, and 6 for M = Pd, Ni, and Pt), and [Cu(cis-chxn)₂][M(CN)₄] · 2H₂O (3, 5, and 7 for M = Pd, Ni, and Pt) (RR-chxn = cyclohexane-(1R,2R)-diamine, trans-chxn = racemic trans-cyclohexane-(1,2)-diamine, and cis-chxn = racemic cis-cyclohexane-(1,2)-diamine) have been reported in view of tuning of their electronic properties by stereochemistry of chxn ligands and metal-substitution. Comparison of Cu 2p_1/2 and 2p_3/2 peaks of XPS and broad d-d bands around 18 000 cm⁻¹ of electronic spectra are described systematically for 1-7. Variable-temperature magnetic measurement shows that complexes 1-7 indicate weak antiferromagnetic interactions via cyano-bridges. Because of semi-coordination coupled with pseudo Jahn-Teller elongation and electrostatic interaction for 1, the axial Cu-N coordination bond distances of 2.330(7) and 3.092(8) Å are considerably longer than those of equatorial ones in the range from 2.016(6) to 2.030(6) Å. The former bond distances of 1 are intermediate values among the related Ni (2.324(6) and 3.120(8) Å) and Pt (2.34(1) and 3.09(1) Å) complexes.     

多马胺能药物对鲇鱼促性腺激素（GtH）分泌活动的影响

以珠江流域鲇鱼（silurus asotus)为实验材料,研究了多巴胺（DA）能药物（DA及其D－2型受体拮抗物 ,DOM）对鲇鱼促性腺激素（GtH)释放的影响,结果表明,在性腺发育的各个时期,单独注射DOM（5ug/g)均不能显著提高鲇鱼血液基础GtH水平,当DOM与LHRH－A联合注射时能显著增强LHRH－A刺激GtH释放的作用;DA只能抑制GnRH诱导的GtH释放,对基础GtH释放无抑制作用,这种生殖内分泌调节方式与鲇形目的革胡子鲇（Clarias gariepinus)和大鳍Hu（Mystus macropterus)相似,而与鲤形目的鲁科（Cyrpindiae)鱼类不同。     

Reorientation of Microfibrils and Microtubules at the Outer Epidermal Wall of Maize Coleoptiles During Auxin-Mediated Growth

Auxin-mediated elongation growth of isolated subapical coleoptile segments of maize (Zea mays L.) is controlled by the extensibility of the outer cell wall of the outer epidermis (Kutschera et al., 1987). Here we investigate the hypothesis that auxin controls the extensibility of this wall by changing the orientation of newly deposited microfibrils through a corresponding change in the orientation of cortical microtubules. On the basis of electron micrographs it is shown that cessation of growth after removal of the endogenous source of auxin is correlated with a relative increase of longitudinally orientated microfibrils and microtubules at the inner wall surface. Conversely, reinduction of growth by exogenous auxin is correlated with a relative increase of transversely orientated microfibrils and microtubules at the inner wall surface. These changes can be detected 30–60 min after the removal and addition of auxin, respectively. The functional significance of directional changes of newly desposited wall microfibrils for the control of elongation growth is discussed.     

Combination of dihydromyricetin and ondansetron strengthens antiproliferative efficiency of adriamycin in K562/ADR through downregulation of SORCIN: A new strategy of inhibiting P-glycoprotein

Though the advancement of chemotherapy drugs alleviates the progress of cancer, long-term therapy with anticancer agents gradually leads to acquired multidrug resistance (MDR), which limits the survival outcomes in patients. It was shown that dihydromyricetin (DMY) could partly reverse MDR by suppressing P-glycoprotein (P-gp) and soluble resistance-related calcium-binding protein (SORCIN) independently. To reverse MDR more effectively, a new strategy was raised, that is, circumventing MDR by the coadministration of DMY and ondansetron (OND), a common antiemetic drug, during cancer chemotherapy. Meanwhile, the interior relation between P-gp and SORCIN was also revealed. The combination of DMY and OND strongly enhanced antiproliferative efficiency of adriamycin (ADR) because of the increasing accumulation of ADR in K562/ADR-resistant cell line. DMY could downregulate the expression of SORCIN and P-gp via the ERK/Akt pathways, whereas OND could not. In addition, it was proved that SORCIN suppressed ERK and Akt to inhibit P-gp by the silence of SORCIN, however, not vice versa. Finally, the combination of DMY, OND, and ADR led to G2/M cell cycle arrest and apoptosis via resuming P53 function and restraining relevant proteins expression. These fundamental findings provided a promising approach for further treatment of MDR.     

Structure and function of S-adenosylhomocysteine hydrolase

In mammals, S-adenosylhomocysteine hydrolase (AdoHcyase) is the only known enzyme to catalyze the breakdown of S-adenosylhomocysteine (AdoHcy) to homocysteine and adenosine. AdoHcy is the product of all adenosylmethionine (AdoMet)-dependent biological transmethylations. These reactions have a wide range of products, and are common in all facets of biometabolism. As a product inhibitor, elevated levels of AdoHcy suppress AdoMet-dependent transmethylations. Thus, AdoHcyase is a regulator of biological transmethylation in general. The three-dimensional structure of AdoHcyase complexed with reduced nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NADH) and the inhibitor (1′R, 2′S, 3′R)-9-(2′,3′-dihyroxycyclopenten-1-yl)adenine (DHCeA) was solved by a combination of the crystallographic direct methods program, SnB, to determine the selenium atom substructure and by treating the multiwavelength anomalous diffraction data as a special case of multiple isomorphous replacement. The enzyme architecture resembles that observed for NAD-dependent dehydrogenases, with the catalytic domain and the cofactor binding domain each containing a modified Rossmann fold. The two domains form a deep active site cleft containing the cofactor and bound inhibitor molecule. A comparison of the inhibitor complex of the human enzyme and the structure of the rat enzyme, solved without inhibitor, suggests that a 17° rigid body movement of the catalytic domain occurs upon inhibitor/substrate binding.     

Plasmodium berghei: lack of antimalarial activity of an analogue of folate precursor, 2,4-diamino-6-hydroxymethylpteridine in a mouse model

It was earlier hypothesized that the malarial parasite may convert precursors of folate analogues to synthesize de novo inhibitors toxic to itself, but not to the mammalian cell. It was suggested that one such analogue, 2,4-diamino-6-hydroxymethylpteridine (DAP) may be converted to aminopterin (AMP), a known dihydrofolate reductase inhibitor. In the present study, we evaluated the ability of DAP to inhibit proliferation of Plasmodium berghei NK65 in mice, with(out) folinic acid rescue. Cumulative dosages of DAP ranging from 0.1 to 20 mg/kg bw. administered either orally or intraperitoneally showed no suppression of parasite growth, or gave mild activities that were not statistically significant (P > 0.05). Our findings do not seem to support the hypothesis of selective de novo metabolism of DAP to AMP by the malarial parasite.     

Evolution of different oligomeric glycyl-tRNA synthetases

There are two oligomeric types of glycyl-tRNA synthetases (GlyRSs) in genome, the alpha2beta2 tetramer and alpha2 dimer. Here, we showed that the anticodon-binding domains (ABDs) of dimeric and tetrameric GlyRSs are non-homologous, although their catalytic central domains (CCDs) are homologous. The dimeric GlyRS_ABD is fused to the C-terminal of CCD in alpha-subunit, but the tetrameric GlyRS_ABD is to the C-terminal in beta-subunit during evolution. Generally, one species only contains one oligomeric type of GlyRS, but the both oligomeric GlyRSs with the multiple homologous domains can be observed in Magnetospirillum magnetotacticum genome, nevertheless, these homologous domains are probably from different genomes.     

围隔藻类水华演替过程中二甲基硫化物的含量动态

于2005年6月至7月,研究了海洋围隔不同藻类水华演替过程中二甲基硫化物的含量动态,并考察了相关环境参数对二甲基硫化物含量的影响。2个围隔实验组均出现未知藻水华-硅藻水华-甲藻水华的演替过程,这3次不同藻类水华分别对应了二甲基硫化物含量的3次高峰,表明藻类水华对二甲基硫化物含量有重要贡献。不同藻类水华的贡献有较大差异,甲藻水华的贡献最大,硅藻次之,未知藻类水华的贡献最小。实验结果还表明PO4^3-、NO2^-和NH4^＋主要通过影响藻类生长状态,进而影响DMSP和DMSO的含量;NO2^-和NH4^＋亦可能通过调节DMSP和DMSO在藻细胞内的生理功能,影响DMSP和DMSO的含量;PO4^3-、NO2^-和NH4^＋与DMS含量无显著相关。     

In vitro studies of the rabbit immune system. IV. Differential mitogen responses of isolated T and B cells.

The mitogenic responses of separated rabbit lymphocyte populations functionally analogous to mouse T and B cells have been tested in vitro. Purified T cells were prepared by passage over nylon wool (NW) and purified B cells prepared by treatment with antithymocyte serum and complement (ATS + C). ATS + C kills 70% of peripheral blood lymphocytes (PBL's) and 50% of the spleen cells while passage over NW yields 40% of the applied PBL's and 5–23% of the applied spleen cells. NW-purified T cells from the spleen or PBL's respond fully to concanavalin A (Con A) but have a reduced response to phytohemaglutinin (PHA) and little or no response to goat anti-rabbit immunoglobulin (anti-Ig). PBL's that survive ATS + C (B cells) are stimulated by anti-Ig but not by Con A or PHA. B cells purified from spleen do not respond to Con A or PHA but will respond to anti-Ig under appropriate conditions. A full spleen B-cell response to anti-Ig required removal of Ig produced by the cultures that blocked anti-Ig stimulation. It is concluded that, for rabbit lymphocytes, Con A and PHA are primarily T-cell mitogens and that anti-Ig is primarily a B-cell mitogen. However, the mitogen response of unfractionated PBL or spleen cell populations indicates an overlap in reactivity. This could be due to cells sharing T and B properties, alteration of cell populations by the fractionation procedures used, or recruitment of one population in the presence of a mitogenic response of the other population.
