Proteolytic activity in whole insect extracts of the western flower thrips, Frankliniella occidentalis, was found to belong predominantly to the class of cysteine proteases. The pH optimum of the general proteolytic activity was determined to be 3.5, which is low when compared to other insects using cysteine proteases for protein digestion. The proteinaceous cysteine protease inhibitors chicken cystatin, potato cystatin and sea anemone equistatin inhibited in vitro more than 90% of the protease activity. To test in vivo the biological effect of such inhibitors on the oviposition rate of western flower thrips, recombinant potato cystatin and equistatin were fed to adult females. A gradual reduction in oviposition rate to about 45% of control was observed when reared on these PIs for a period of 5 days, with no increase in mortality. These results are discussed in the light of the application of protease inhibitors in transgenic plants to control this insect pest. 相似文献

Theenhanced cauliflower mosaic virus 35S (dCaMV) promoter and the potatoLhca3.St.1 promoter were evaluated for their expressionabilities in chrysanthemum. The promoters were fused to the-glucuronidase(GUS) reporter gene with and without flanking matrix-associated regions (MARs).They were transferred into chrysanthemum viaAgrobacterium-mediated transformation. The quantitativeevaluation of GUS activity in a total of 127 independently derivedtransformantsestablished that in chrysanthemum the Lhca3.St.1 promoterwas 175 fold more active in the leaves than the dCaMV promoter was. The latterwas as poor in expression as the single CaMV promoter. The use of suchCaMV-based promoters in the genetic engineering of chrysanthemum should bediscouraged when high levels of transgene expression are desired. No clearinfluence of the presence of MARs was observed on the variability of GUS geneexpression, in contrast to earlier studies in tobacco. This may indicate apossible plant species dependent activity of MAR elements.Lhca3.St.1 promoter-driven GUS activity was relativelyhigher in the stem of chrysanthemum and proved stable over extensive timeperiods. Therefore this potato promoter is attractive to obtain high expressionlevels in chrysanthemum. 相似文献

The effects of 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4-D) concentration, length of induction period and light quality on leaf
regeneration of quince clone BA 29 were investigated. After 2, 4 or 6 days of induction with 2.5 mg l−1 or 5.0 mg l−1 2,4-D, leaves were cultured under red, blue, red+blue, far-red+blue, white, far-red light or darkness conditions. Leaves
thereby treated showed different responses, with respect to somatic embryogenesis, callus, red-nodular structures or roots.
Callus production increased with increasing 2,4-D concentration and induction period, although it was not influenced by light
quality; the only exception was far-red+blue light, which reduced callusing response. This result suggested involvement of
the blue-absorbing photoreceptor system in the callus formation processes. A high regeneration of red-nodular structures with
a meristematic appearance was also observed; from some histological characterizations, we presumed they were adventitious
buds that were arrested at an early developmental stage. Red-nodular structures increased with decreasing 2,4-D concentration
and induction period. In the regeneration of such structures, the blue-absorbing photoreceptor system appeared to have a negative
effect but only at a low photoequilibrium value. In contrast, light quality which activated phytochrome induced an increment
in regeneration, but the response did not vary for photoequilibrium values ranging from 0.43 to 0.86. For root regeneration,
phytochrome seemed to be the only photoreceptor involved.
