自然干燥对冬虫夏草寄主蝠蛾卵孵化的影响

研究在室内自然空气湿度下放置的时间长短对冬虫夏草(Cordyceps)寄主昆虫贡嘎蝠蛾Hepialus gonggaensis Fu et Huang卵孵化率的影响。卵早期的研究结果为:第1批、第2批和第3批卵于室内自然空气湿度下保存的时间达26,11和16h后再保湿都可以正常孵化并且孵化率与对照无显著性差异,所孵化幼虫在饲养初期的成活率分别达62.0%,41.4%和43.4%,与对照无显著性差异。卵中期干燥放置36h的孵化率为66.7%,所孵化幼虫在饲养初期的成活率为50.0%,孵化率和成活率都与对照无显著性差异。卵晚期干燥放置24h的孵化率为70.0%,所孵化幼虫在饲养初期的成活率为49.0%,孵化率和成活率都与对照无显著性差异。以上结果表明,经历一定时间的干燥不会对卵的正常孵化有影响。     

The first intron of rice EPSP synthase enhances expression of foreign gene

The first intron (EPI) of rice 5-enolpyruvylshikimate 3-phosphate synthase gene was isolated by PCR from one clone with genomic EPSP synthase gene. Sequence analysis showed that the first intron is 704 bp in length with 36.2% G+C content. To investigate its effect on expression of foreign gene, we inserted the first intron between CaMV35S promoter and β-glucuronidase (GUS) gene. The transient expression results showed that GUS could be expressed effectively with EPI. The GUS activity in transgenic tobacco shows that the EPI can greatly enhance the expression level of β-glucuronidase (P < 0.01) compared with transgenic tobacco without the first intron, and 3-to 6-fold increase in GUS activity in some transgenic tobaccos. Northern blot indicated the first intron was spliced from GUS pre-mRNA, and the steady-state mRNA levels of GUS with EPI in transgenic tobaccos were higher than that in transgenic tobacco without EPI, which suggested that the first intron of EPSP was a non-translated intron.     

健康/根腐病黄连深色有隔内生真菌多样性研究及定殖调查

近几年来黄连根腐病日益严重,对黄连产业造成了较大影响。前期研究表明,黄连根部深色有隔内生真菌(dark septate endophytes, DSE)定殖率与根腐病发生有明显关系,拟对此进行深入探讨。从健康的和患有根腐病的黄连根部分离DSE,通过对ITS序列进行测序和比对进行分子鉴定,比较其分离频率,并对不同产地的黄连根部DSE定殖情况进行调查统计。结果显示,从黄连根部分离得到DSE 10株,健康黄连根部DSE分离频率明显高于患有根腐病黄连,且其优势菌种不同,健康根条的优势DSE为Cadophora orchidicola,根腐病根条优势DSE为Ceratobasidium sp. G3。不同产地、年生的黄连DSE定殖情况有明显差别。结果表明,DSE定殖率和黄连根腐病具有显著关系。DSE的定殖受土壤肥力、耕作措施、气候环境等多种生态、人为因素的影响。     

The first intron of rice EPSP synthase enhances expression of foreign gene

Translatable exon sequences in pre-mRNA often are separated by non-coding introns in eu-karyotic genomes. The removal of non-coding introns from pre-mRNA and the splicing together of translatable exons sequence is an essential requirement of gene expression. DNA size of introns in a gene is 5—10 times larger than that of exon, which can store more information and is helpful for a gene during evolution[1]. In many experiments on gene expression, it is indispensable for a gene to be expresse…     

青蒿内生真菌分离、分子鉴定及深绿木霉对青蒿的促生作用研究

为从青蒿(Artemisia annua L.)内生真菌中筛选有促生作用的菌株,用组织分离法从青蒿侧枝中分离内生真菌并进行分子鉴定,对其中1株真菌深绿木霉对青蒿幼苗的促生作用进行了研究。结果表明,从青蒿侧枝中获得23株内生真菌,鉴定出16种,以炭疽菌属占优势。深绿木霉发酵液对青蒿种子发芽和幼苗生长具有显著抑制作用;深绿木霉液体发酵菌丝体在4-5月对青蒿幼苗生长具有显著的促进作用,但7月以后没有明显促进作用。因此,深绿木霉可作为青蒿苗肥,与化肥配合可施用于成株。     

水稻EPSP合酶第一内含子增强外源基因的表达

分离并克隆了水稻5-烯醇丙酮莽草酸-3-磷酸合酶基因的第一内含子(EPI). 序列分析表明, EPI长704 bp, GC含量为36.2%. 为进一步研究EPI序列在转基因植物中对外源基因表达水平的影响, 将EPI序列插入CaMV35S启动子和报导基因β-葡糖醛酸酶(β-glucuronidase, GUS)基因(gus)之间. 采用基因枪法转化烟草叶片, gus基因瞬时表达表明, EPI序列的存在可以使GUS的表达水平提高. 利用农杆菌法转化烟草, 获得了gus基因稳定表达的植株. GUS活性检测表明EPI内含子的存在可以显著提高GUS基因的表达(P<0.01). Northern blot 分析表明, 在转录水平上gus基因在含EPI内含子的转基因植株中的表达高于不含EPI gus基因的表达, 并且成熟的gus mRNA中EPI被正确剪取掉了, 表明是一种非转译的内含子. GUS定量检测表明, EPI存在可以使GUS的平均表达水平提高3倍, 最高单株可提高6倍.
