矮泰引-3中半矮秆基因的分子定位

矮泰引-3的矮生性状受两对独立遗传的半矮秆基因控制,利用SSR标记将这两个矮秆基因分别定位到第1和第4染色体上。等位性测交的结果表明,位于第1染色体上的矮秆基因与sd1是等位的,所以仍然称其为sd1;而位于第4染色体上的矮秆基因是一个新基因,暂命名为sdt2。利用SSR标记将sd1定位于RM297、RM302和RM212的同一侧,而与OSR3共分离,它们之间的位置关系可能是RM297-RM302-RM212-OSR3-sd1,遗传距离分别为4．7cM、0cM、0．8cM和0cM,这与sd1在第1染色体长臂上的确切位置是基本一致的。利用已有的SSR标记和拓展的SSR标记将sdt2定位于SSR332、RM1305和RM5633、RM307、RM401之间,它们的排列位置可能是SSR332-RM1305-sdt2-RM5633-RM307-RM401,它们之间的遗传距离分别为11．6cM、3．8cM、0．4cM、0cM和0．4cM。     

通过特异PCR扩增和16SrDNA序列分析检测动弯杆菌

细菌性阴道病(Bacterial Vaginosis,BV)是由于细菌过度生长所致阴道微生态非正常改变,从而导致的一类多微生物病(Polymicrobial Diseases)。动弯杆菌(Mobiluncus sp．)与BV发生有密切关系,但该菌为厌氧菌,营养要求苛刻,很难进行纯培养,国内鲜有研究报道。本文先对BV动物模型恒河猴阴道分泌物进行厌氧菌混合培养,抽提混合物染色体DNA,之后设计了一对动弯杆菌16SrRNA基因的特异性引物,用PCR的方法扩增出了特异片段。通过对扩增产物进行测序分析,确定检测出的为动弯杆菌,并且与羞怯动弯杆菌极为相似。     

From River Management to River Basin Management: A Water Manager’s Perspective

Chironomid larvae were sampled sequentially from small experimental rice fields in southern New South Wales, Australia. Sampling was undertaken during the 1995, 1997, 1998 and 1999 crop establishment periods, starting 10 days after flooding (DAF) and continuing at 5 day intervals until 35 DAF. No agrochemical treatments were applied to the fields at any stage. Seventeen species were identified from 3429 recovered larvae. The most abundant species were Chironomus tepperi Skuse (0–91% of 35 day totals), Procladius paludicola Skuse (7–78%) and Polypedilum nubiferum (Skuse) (2–12%). No other taxon accounted for more than 8% of recovered larvae in any year. C. tepperi colonised fields more rapidly than other taxa and, when present, had only a single generation. The abundance of C. tepperi varied dramatically from year to year: from total absence in 1997 to a peak density exceeding 13 000 larvae m⁻² in 1998. Significant differences between post-flood sampling times (R = 0.407, p= 0.009) and between years (R = 0.495, p = 0.001) were found using ANOSIM2 analysis. C. tepperi had a greater impact on community variability at 10 and 15 DAF (42–58%) than any other species, with P. paludicola exerting the most influence from 20 DAF onwards. Exceptionally high densities of C. tepperi in 1998 led to high levels of turbidity, which apparently prolonged the duration of the single C. tepperi cohort by suppressing water temperatures. Comparison of plant densities in the monitored bays to those in nearby bays receiving effective chemical protection shows that rice plant loss increased in response to higher C. tepperi densities. No plant loss occurred in 1997 when C. tepperi was absent, suggesting the other chironomid species present in the fields are not routinely involved in causing significant crop damage.     

Upland rice and lowland rice exhibited different P/P expression under water deficit and ABA treatment

Aquaporins play a significant role in plant water relations.To further understand the aquaporin function in plants underwater stress,the expression of a subgroup of aquaporins,plasma membrane intrinsic proteins(PIPs),was studied at boththe protein and mRNA level in upland rice(Oryza sativa L.cv.Zhonghan 3)and lowland rice(Oryza sativa L.cv.Xiushui63)when they were water stressed by treatment with 20% polyethylene glycol(PEG).Plants responded differently to20% PEG treatment.Leaf water content of upland rice leaves was reduced rapidly.PIP protein level increased markedlyin roots of both types,but only in leaves of upland rice after 10h of PEG treatment.At the mRNA level,OsPIP1;2,Os-PIP1;3,OsPIP2;1 and OsPIP2;5 in roots as well as OsPIP1;2 and OsPIP1;3 in leaves were significantly up-regulatedin upland rice,whereas the corresponding genes remained unchanged or down-regulated in lowland rice.Meanwhile,weobserved a significant increase in the endogenous abscisic acid(ABA)level in upland rice but not in lowland rice underwater deficit.Treatment with 60μM ABA enhanced the expression of OsPIP1;2,OsPIP2;5 and OsPIP2;6 in roots andOsPIP1;2,OsPIP2;4 and OsPIP2;6 in leaves of upland rice.The responsiveness of PIP genes to water stress and ABAwere different,implying that the regulation of PIP genes involves both ABA-dependent and ABA-independent signalingpathways during water deficit.     

OsCOI1,水稻中一个受茉莉酸甲酯和脱落酸诱导表达的F-box家族基因

利用Blast检索、EST分析和RT-PCR,在水稻中分离到一个与拟南芥COI1同源的新基因,命名为OsCOI1.OsCOI1编码595个氨基酸.推测的OsCOI1编码蛋白有一个F-boxmotif和16个富含亮氨酸的重复序列,这与拟南芥COI1相似.OsCOI1在氨基酸水平上和COI1有很高的同源性(74%).经半定量RT-PCR法和RNA印迹分析,表明水稻中OsCOI1表达水平在经茉莉酸甲酯和脱落酸处理后呈明显变化,但不受水杨酸和乙烯的影响,说明OsCOI1可能在茉莉酸信号途径和脱落酸途径中具有特定功能.

目的：探讨利用种子贮藏蛋白SDS—PAGE电泳、酯酶同工酶超薄等电聚焦电泳和RAPD分子标记鉴定五个两系杂交水稻组合F_1种子纯度的可行性。方法和结果：利用SDS—PAGE电泳技术未能找到所试五个组合各自的父本特征蛋白质带;利用酯酶同工酶超薄等电聚焦电泳技术和RAPD分子标记可找到所试五个组合的父母本特征酶带和RAPD标记,但酯酶同工酶的多态性同时也受种子萌发时间的影响。酯酶同工酶超薄等电聚焦电泳和RAPD分子标记可用于所试五个两系杂交水稻组合F_1种子纯度的鉴定。     

Genome-wide searching of single-nucleotide polymorphisms among eight distantly and closely related rice cultivars (Oryza sativa L.) and a wild accession (Oryza rufipogon Griff.).

We searched the genomes of eight rice cultivars (Oryza sativa L. ssp. japonica and ssp. indica) and a wild rice accession (Oryza rufipogon Griffith) for nucleotide polymorphisms, and identified 7805 polymorphic loci, including single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) and insertions/deletions (InDels), in predicted intergenic regions. Polymorphisms are useful as DNA markers for genetic analysis or positional cloning with segregating populations of crosses. Pairwise comparison between cultivars and a neighbor-joining tree calculated from SNPs agreed very well with relationships between rice strains predicted from pedigree data or calculated with other DNA markers such as p-SINE1 and simple sequence repeats (SSRs), suggesting that whole-genome SNP information can be used for analysis of evolutionary relationships. Using multiple SNPs to identify alleles, we drew a map to illustrate the alleles shared among the eight cultivars and the accession. The map revealed that most of the genome is mono- or di-allelic among japonica cultivars, whereas alleles well conserved among modern japonica paddy rice cultivars were often shared with indica cultivars or wild rice, suggesting that the genome structure of modern cultivars is composed of chromosomal segments from various genetic backgrounds. Use of allele-sharing analysis and association analysis were also tested and are discussed.     

野生稻抗病虫基因的研究与利用

野生稻是宝贵的种质资源,具有丰富的遗传多样性。多项研究表明,野生稻对多种病虫害有较强的抗性。但由于野生稻的远缘杂交存在许多的弊端,因而采用常规杂交技术不能选育出新的抗性品种而未能这到利用野生稻抗性基因的目的。可考虑从野生稻中提取抗性活性成分用于植物源农药的开发研究,但在实际的研究中发现其有效活性成分含量较少和基因遗传连锁障碍等两个问题。基因的分子标记定住技术可解决这两个难点。使野生稻特别是非AA组野生稻的抗病虫基因在植物源农药开发中的利用成为现实。     

长穗颈不育水稻穗颈节间的细胞学研究

通过对长选3S和培矮64S定长的穗颈节间细胞个数统计和细胞长度的测量,得出长穗颈不育水稻穗颈节间伸长的细胞学变化规律.自然条件下长穗颈不育水稻长选3S穗颈节间比对照培矮64S长18.0cm,其纵列厚壁细胞和薄壁细胞数分别比培矮64S多1248个和580个;厚壁细胞和薄壁细胞平均长度分别比培矮64S长23.3μm和38.3μm,尤其是中部区段的厚壁细胞和薄壁细胞分别比对照长24.8μm和48.7μm;穗颈节间薄壁细胞的长度由基部区段至中部区段呈突跃式增加,而由中部至顶部区段则呈缓慢减少的趋势.隐性长穗颈温敏核不育水稻穗颈节间伸长是由细胞数目增多和细胞长度增加双重作用所致,其中后者作用更显著.
