Construction and characterization of a doxycycline‐inducible transgenic system in Msx2 expressing cells

Homeobox gene Msx2 is widely expressed during both embryogenesis and postnatal development and plays important roles during organogenesis. We developed an Msx2‐rtTA BAC transgenic line which can activate TetO‐Cre expression in Msx2‐expressing cells upon doxycycline (Dox) treatment. Using the Rosa26‐LacZ (R26R) reporter line, we show that rtTA is activated in Msx2‐expressing organs including the limb, heart, external genitalia, urogenital system, hair follicles and craniofacial regions. Moreover, we show that in body appendages, the transgene can be activated in different domains depending on the timing of Dox treatment. In addition, the transgene can also be effectively activated in adult tissues such as the hair follicle and the urogenital system. Taken together, this Msx2‐rtTA;TetO‐Cre system is a valuable tool for studying gene function in the development of the aforementioned organs in a temporal and spatially‐restricted manner, as well as for tissue lineage tracing of Msx2‐expressing cells. When induced postnatally, this system can also be used to study gene function in adult tissues without compromising normal development and patterning. genesis 47:352–359, 2009. © 2009 Wiley‐Liss, Inc.     

昆虫腹肢发育相关基因的研究进展

昆虫躯干外着生有一系列附属器官,主要包括背侧附器和腹侧附器,其中腹肢的多样性表现尤为突出。腹肢的发育过程受到多种调控因子的作用。本文就腹肢发育相关基因的表达、功能及调控因子间的相互作用等方面进行简要的综述。一方面,腹肢作为整体受Hox基因和成形素基因（Dpp/Wg）的调控,Hox基因直接决定腹肢的有无,Dpp/Wg通过其表达产物形成浓度梯度调控整个腹肢的发育,两者在腹肢整体发育中的作用不可取代。另一方面,腹肢基部、中部及远端部位分别受到各自特异的调控因子的作用。其中hth,tsh及al等均主要调节腹肢基部的发育,dac通过与Dll和Dpp/Wg相互作用从而调节腹肢中部的发育,bab,Dll及Lim1等对腹肢远端发育发挥重要作用。关节的形成对腹肢分节的形成至关重要,Notch信号通路相关因子如配体基因Dl和Ser,修饰物基因fng及下游靶基因odd,sob,drm和bowl等调节该过程。因此,研究昆虫腹肢发育相关基因,对于深入揭示腹肢的发育及其在进化过程中多样性形成的分子机制具有至关重要的作用。     

Plant regeneration from stem-derived callus of the seed legume Lathyrus sativus L.

Callus cultures from stem explants of six Lathyrus sativus L. cultivars were tested for their morphogenic capacity. Shoot-buds were formed in calli of only one cultivar. Maximum response was observed in the medium containing 10^-8 M picloram and 10^-6 M benzylaminopurin. Supplementation with adenine sulphate was required for shoot-bud formation. The greatest frequency of shoot-bud formation was detected at the second passage and complete lack of regeneration capacity was observed after the 8th passage. Cell regenerates were diploid.     

Ultrastructure des organes chordotonaux des pièces céphaliques chez la larve du Speophyes lucidulus delar (coléoptère cavernicole de la sous-famille des bathysciinae)

Résumé Les organes chordotonaux présents dans les différentes pièces céphaliques de la larve du Speophyes peuvent être classés en deux catégories.La première catégorie regroupe les récepteurs scolopidiaux de l'antenne, du labium et du palpe maxillaire. On peut les comparer au scolopidium de l'organe tympanique du Criquet décrit par Gray (1960). La deuxième catégorie comprend les récepteurs scolopidiaux de la mandibule et de la lacinia: ils sont du amphinématique.Le sensille scolopidial de la galea représente un type intermédiaire.Nous signalons l'importance des structures de soutien et de fixation, qui doivent permettre une bonne transmission de toutes les déformations et tensions subies par le tégument. Nous discutons du rôle joué par la gap junction qui unit les deux dendrites dans les scolopidium. de la deuxième catégorie.Enfin nous essayons d'établir des hypothèses sur le fonctionnement des scolopidium.

Fine structure of the chordotonal organs of the head appendages of Speophyes lucidulus larva

Summary The chordotonal organs located in the various head appendages of the Speophyes larva, can be divided into two classes.The scolopidial receptors of the antenna, the labium and the palpus maxillae belong to the first class. They can be compared to the scolopidium of the locust tympanic organ described by Gray.—The second class contains the scolopidial receptors of the mandible and the lacinia: their type is amphinematic.The scolopidial sensilla of the galea represents an intermediate type.We demonstrate many supporting and fixation structures which probably allow a good transmission of all the deformations and strains affecting the tegument.The function of the gap junction which connects the two dendrites in the scolopidia of the second class is discussed.Finally we try to formulate hypothesis of the functioning of scolopidia.

     

Germination of seven exotic weeds and seven native speciesin south-western Australia under steady and fluctuating water supply

The germination of seven common weeds and seven species native to south-western Australia was studied at three sites where they co-occur and in the laboratory. Under field conditions, final germination of the exotic species was much higher than that of the native species, and the number of days to reach 50 % final germination was lower. For some of the germination period, soil moisture was lower than expected after 48 h without rain, with one dry period lasting 10 d. Overall, germination rose with increasing wetness of the three sites, especially among the weeds. Most exotic species germinated under laboratory conditions needed less than 10 d to reach 50 % of final germination which was further delayed by 2 d when seeds were removed from their moist substrate and allowed to dry out (air-drying) for 48 h. Most native species took 10–35 d, with a mean delay of 7 d after 48 h of air-drying. Total germination of the weeds was close to 100 % and was little affected by periods of air-drying. Germination of the native species was more variable and greatly reduced by air-drying in two species. We conclude that water availability as it varies through time and space is significant in controlling germination even during the wet season. The quicker and greater responses of weed seeds to moisture may contribute toward the superior ability of weeds to colonise disturbed habitats. Differences in life form, seed size, flatness, presence of appendages, and ability to absorb or retain water only partially explain these results.

银纳米线对再生蚕丝性能的影响

近年来,再生蚕丝作为一种重要的生物资源已被广泛应用于人造组织、生物支架等领域,对其力学性能提出了较高的要求。为提高再生蚕丝的力学性能,采用化学还原法合成直径为80~100 nm、长度为8~11 μm的银纳米线（AgNWs）,并将其作为共混材料,通过湿法纺丝工艺制备再生蚕丝,探讨AgNWs浓度对再生蚕丝力学性能和结构的影响。结果表明：不同浓度AgNWs均有利于提高再生蚕丝的力学性能,AgNWs浓度为4‰时,再生蚕丝的力学性能最佳,断裂强度可达233.41 MPa,断裂伸长率可达88.37%,显著高于普通的再生蚕丝（158.13 MPa和15.02%）。扫描电镜和红外光谱发现,添加AgNWs对再生蚕丝的形貌和直径无明显改变,但可促进丝素蛋白β-折叠构象形成。
