Identification of QTLs affecting traits of agronomic importance in a recombinant inbred population derived from a subspecific rice cross

To detect QTLs controlling traits of agronomic importance in rice, two elite homozygous lines 9024 and LH422, which represent the indica and japonica subspecies of rice (Oryza sativa), were crossed. Subsequently a modified single-seed-descent procedure was employed to produce 194 recombinant inbred lines (F₈). The 194 lines were genotyped at 141 RFLP marker loci and evaluated in a field trial for 13 quantitative traits including grain yield. Transgressive segregants were observed for all traits examined. The number of significant QTLs (LOD 2.0) detected affecting each trait ranged from one to six. The percentage of phenotypic variance explained by each QTL ranged from 5.1% to 73.7%. For those traits for which two or more QTLs were detected, increases in the traits were conditioned by indica alleles at some QTLs Japonica alleles at others. No significant evidence was found for epistasis between markers associated with QTLs and all the other markers. Pleitropic effects of single QTLs on different traits are suggested by the observation of clustering of QTLs. No QTL for traits was found to map to the vicinity of major gene loci governing the same traits qualitatively. Evidence for putative orthologous QTLs across rice, maize, oat, and barley is discussed.     

High efficiency, long-term clinical expression of cottontail rabbit papillomavirus (CRPV) DNA in rabbit skin following particle-mediated DNA transfer.

The ability of skin to support long lasting expression of genes delivered with a particle-mediated system was evaluated in rabbits inoculated with cottontail rabbit papillomavirus (CRPV) DNA. The optimal delivery force for maximal gene expression in rabbit skin was determined in transient beta-galactosidase assays. Forty-five sites in four rabbits were then inoculated at 350-400 p.s.i. with CRPV DNA. All sites (100%) formed papillomas with multiple papillomas at most sites. These results support the feasibility of using a particle-mediated delivery system for gene therapy and suggest that some papillomavirus features, such an origin of replication, may be well suited for use in vectors to target long term expression to skin.

血管成形术后原癌基因c－fos、c－myc表达的研究

ｃ－ｆｏｓ、ｃ－ｍｙｃ是两种参与细胞增殖的原癌基因。动脉血管成形术（ＰＴＡ）后的血管再狭窄,是由于血管壁平滑肌细胞增生所致。利用大白兔建立的试验动物模型,提取ＰＴＡ后不同时间间隔的动脉壁总ＲＮＡ,并用斑点杂交法分析两种原癌基因的表达情况,发现了ｃ－ｆｏｓ和ｃ－ｍｙｃ的基因分别在术后１５分钟内转录活性提高,并分别在３０分钟和第２小时达到高峰。     

新的生物杀虫剂螨虫素对棉花、蔬菜害虫的毒力评价及应用技术研究

本文通过生物杀虫剂螨虫素对棉花、蔬菜害虫的毒力评价及田间应用研究表明,它对棉朱砂叶螨和菜青虫两种害虫杀伤力最强,其中LC90分别为0．078ppm和0．013ppm。兼有胃毒、触杀作用,残效期较长,分别达13天和9天。田间小区试验认为防治菜青虫和茄朱砂叶螨以2ppm浓度为宜。防治适期为卵孵化初期或低龄幼(若)虫（螨)期,其防效能达90%以上。该药特点用药量低、效果好、无公害、值得推广。
