由鲤(Cyprinus carpio)和鲫(Carassius auratus)染色体组叠加构建的 两个单性人工多倍体克隆

具有天然雌核发育的多倍体杂种鱼可防止杂种优势的分离并保持其后代的杂种优势. 由于假设诱发的多倍体鱼类的生殖模式是天然雌核发育的, 我们进行了鲤鲫杂种的多倍体诱发, 目的是描述经染色体组叠加由有性鲤鲫二倍体转化为异源三倍体及异源四倍体克隆谱系. 鲤鲫杂种产生未减数而具有两亲本染色体组杂种卵子, 未减数的雌核可与入卵的雄核融合叠加形成三倍体合子. 鲤鲫异源三倍体胚胎发育正常, 部分异源三倍体雌性个体可产生未减数的、仍保留母本的三套染色体的成熟卵子. 绝大部分鲤鲫异源人工三倍体个体的成熟卵子的雌核不与入卵的雄核融合, 具有天然雌核发育特性. 异源三倍体卵子在入卵精子的激动下由雌核发育产生全雌后代, 并形成一个单性克隆系, 后代保留异源三倍体母本的形态特征, 并靠雌核发育的生殖方式形成异源三倍体克隆系. 极少数异源三倍体个体的成熟卵子的雌核可与入卵的雄核融合, 再通过染色体组叠加形成鲤鲫异源四倍体. 所有异源四倍体的雌性产生未减数的、含有4个染色体组的成熟卵子. 异源四倍体的成熟卵子保持雌核发育特性, 在近类的精子诱发下产生单性后代, 形成一个异源四倍体单性克隆.     

异源六倍体水稻AACCDD和三倍体水稻ACD生殖特性的细胞胚胎学研究

利用异源多倍体杂种优势是多倍体水稻研究的第三阶段,但异源多倍体杂种常常不育。为明确其不育特点,本文以本实验室通过远缘杂交获得的栽培稻（AA）品种DTS137和高秆野生稻O．alta（CCDD）的杂种三倍体ACD和加倍形成的六倍体AACCDD为材料,分别对其花粉和胚囊发育过程进行石蜡切片观察,发现3x与6x之间以及6x雌性和雄性生殖方式和前途具有明显的不同：（1）异源三倍体ACD水稻杂种花粉败育彻底,败育发生在小孢子母细胞时期,绒毡层细胞提前解体：大孢子母细胞不能进行减数分裂,与周围的珠心组织一起发生解体,雌性完全败育。（2）异源六倍体水稻杂种（AACCDD）的雄性败育发生在小孢子母细胞减数分裂的细线期,此期小孢子母细胞发育停滞,随后解体;而雌性器官的发育基本正常。推测异源六倍体杂种的不育性与不同基因组间存在着部分核质不亲和性有关。据此,为了克服六倍体水稻AACCDD的不育性和验证该杂种雌性可育的结论,以栽培稻（AA）的PMeS二倍体品系HN2026．2x为父本与之杂交,通过胚挽救成功获得回交杂种BC1F1植株,经根尖染色体鉴定为2n=4x=48,系由AACD组成。虽然该异源三基四倍体是不育的,但为随后的染色体加倍创造AAAACCDD同源异源八倍体,进而获得结实的同源异源多倍体杂种打下了良好的基础。     

植物同源多倍体育种的几个问题

四倍体变异既来自染色体数量、结构的变异以及基因突变、重组,同时也与核一质之间、合子胚与胚乳之间协调关系的变化有关。其变异率可以预料高于二倍体。纯合的四倍体是一个相对平衡的系统,继续选择是无效的。不同物种四倍体的表型变异有一定差别,经常是既有有利变异,也有不利变异。四倍体育种应取利避害,针对具体情况采用适宜的选择方法。减数分裂四倍体由2x的2n配子和经选择的4x的正常配子融合产生,避免了化学诱变的不良影响,能够较好的实现双亲优良性状的互补,也比较容易稳定。四倍体可以直接育成稳定品种,也可以进行杂种优势的利用。利用多倍体作桥梁种有利于促进种或种群间的基因交流。三倍体可能表现出强的杂种优势,也可能产生无籽果实,但并不是所有物种都能直接利用三倍体品种进行繁育。对四倍体种或二倍体种或人工四倍体种的改良选择,利用双单倍体都具重要意义。利用多倍体选育二倍体品种,进行非倍性诱变育种是多倍体育种的重要组成部分。多倍体和无融合生殖结合利用,利用多倍体创造新种质,进行遗传研究也有重要价值。

野黄瓜与栽培黄瓜正反交异源四倍体序列消除的初步研究

不同分类群的异源多倍体在二倍化过程中, 正反交序列消除往往表现出不同特征, 暗示了在不同物种中, 核质互作在多倍体进化过程的作用不同。利用13对EcoRI-NN/MseI-NNN选择性引物, 对野黄瓜Cucumis hystrix (2n=24)与栽培黄瓜C. sativus (2n=14)的正反交F1、异源四倍体及二倍体亲本DNA进行AFLP分析。结果表明: 杂交后代基因组的杂合性诱发了F1与异源四倍体广泛的序列消除; 细胞质可能会影响部分亲本序列消除的频率, 但是正反交在序列消除频率上差异不显著, 并且在序列消除时间(均始于F1代)及消除类型上也表现出一致性, 表明核质互作并不是影响序列消除的主要因素; 实验还发现, 正反交不能影响序列的倾向性丢失, 染色体数少的黄瓜条带易发生丢失。     

菘蓝二倍体及其同源四倍体遗传差异的ISSR分析

以1个菘蓝二倍体及其10个同源四倍体株系为材料,利用19个随机扩增ISSR引物分析其遗传差异性,为菘蓝多倍体诱变的基因表达调控以及遗传改良提供依据。结果显示:菘蓝二倍体与其同源四倍体及四倍体之间的ISSR多态性有明显差异,除主要遗传位点相同外,有些四倍体株系扩增条带数多于二倍体,有些四倍体株系扩增条带数少于二倍体,四倍体株系间亦有多态位点;11个株系共扩增111条多态性条带,多态性达55.22%。聚类分析显示,不同四倍体株系与二倍体的遗传差异大小亦不同。研究表明,菘蓝二倍体与其同源四倍体具有中等偏高的遗传差异性。

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.

正Dear Editor,In December 2019, a novel human coronavirus caused an epidemic of severe pneumonia(Coronavirus Disease 2019,COVID-19) in Wuhan, Hubei, China(Wu et al. 2020; Zhu et al. 2020). So far, this virus has spread to all areas of China and even to other countries. The epidemic has caused 67,102 confirmed infections with 1526 fatal cases     

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.

     

Identification and Characterization of the First Equine Parainfluenza Virus 5

正Dear Editor,Parainfluenza virus 5 (PIV5), known as canine parainfluenza virus in the veterinary field, is a negative-sense,nonsegmented, single-stranded RNA virus belonging to the Paramyxoviridae family (Chen 2018). The virus was first reported in primary monkey kidney cells in 1954 (Hsiung1972), then it has been frequently discovered in various
