A new system for selection of transformed Aspergillus foetidus was reported. In this system, TK- A. foetidus which were constructed by homologous recombination of mutated TK gene of vaccinia virus with TK gene of A. foetidus were screened by adding BUdR in agar plates. Conditions for screen of TK+ A. foetidus strain, transformation of A. foetidus and selection of transformed TK- A. foetidus have been studied. By using this system, several transformed A. foetidus which contained HBsAg gene derived bf a promoter H8 cloned from genomic DNA of A. foetidus were isolated. It was demonstrated that HBsAg gene was integrated into the chromosome DNA of A. foetidus by Southern blot after many passages of spores. ELISA showed that HBsAg was positive in the growth medium (p/n = 20). The 22 nm particles which were very similar to the HBsAg particles in human serum were found in the growth medium by immunoelectromicroscope. Western blot also gave the specific bands. All these data showed that HBsAg gene was expressed in A. foetidus and the products were secreted into the growth medium. The selection system using TK gene as marker could generally be used to study the expression of foreign gene in A. foetidus.     

Fractal root system of Melica przewalskyi along different aspect in degraded grassland

Aims Fractal root system is phenotypic plasticity result of plant root architecture to respond to environmental heterogeneity, may reflect the growth strategy of plants to adapt to environmental conditions. Our objective was to explore the relationship between root fractal dimension and fractal abundance of fractal root system of Melica przewalskyi population in response to aspect variation in the northwest of China. Methods The study site was located in a degraded alpine grassland on the northern slope in Qilian Mountains, Gansu Province, China. Survey and sampling were carried out at 40 plots which were set up along four slope aspects transects with 20 m distance between adjacent plots. Handheld GPS was used to determine the elevation, longitude and latitude of each plot. ArcGIS was used to set up digital elevation model (DEM). Community traits were investigated and six individuals roots of M. przewalskyi were collected randomly at each plot. The samples were cleaned and divided into different organs, then scanning the root with the Win-RHIZO for measurements of fractal dimension and fractal abundance in laboratory, and their biomass were then measured after being dried at 80 °C in an oven. Important findings With the slope aspect turned from north to east, west, and south, the density, height and soil moisture content of the plant community displayed a pattern of initial decline, the height, density, root fractal abundance of M. przewalskyi increased and the root fractal dimension decreased. The root fractal dimension was negatively associated with the fractal abundance in all aspects, but the relationship varied along the slope aspects gradient; there was a highly significant negative correlation (p < 0.01) between the root fractal dimension and fractal abundance at north slope and south slope aspect, whereas the correlation only reached a significant level (p < 0.05) at the east slope aspect and west slope aspect; indicating that there is a trade-off between the root fractal dimension and fractal abundance. In addition, when the slope aspect changed from north to east, west and south, the standardized major axis (SMA) slope of the regression equation in the scaling relationships between root fractal dimension and fractal abundance increased (p < 0.05), indicating that the roots of M. przewalskyi at the droughty southern slope have less branch and more sparse in the same soil volume of root exploitation and utilization. Consequently, the resource allocation pattern on reasonable trade-off between root fractal dimension and fractal abundance in different slope aspect of M. przewalskyi, reflects the relationship between the income and the cost of construction of plant root architecture.     

黑籽南瓜NBS类基因CfRFN2的克隆及VIGS验证

黑籽南瓜(Cucurbita ficifolia)是云南特有的具有高抗枯萎病遗传性状的瓜类种质资源。为鉴定黑籽南瓜中NBS-LRR类基因的抗病功能,该研究从其叶片中克隆了NBS类基因CfRFN2 (GenBank ID:MK618462),测序全长为4 303 bp,完整的编码框长度为4 092 bp,编码1 363个氨基酸残基,该基因注释为拟南芥抗病蛋白At4g27190类转录体X1的同源基因,含有1个NB-ARC和2个LRR结构域,属于具有信号肽的可溶性蛋白。核苷酸相似性分析显示,CfRFN2与其他瓜类NBS类基因相似性在87%～98%之间;系统进化树分析表明,CfRFN2蛋白和瓜类的其他NBS类抗病蛋白聚为一个分支,其中CfRFN2蛋白与中国南瓜和美洲南瓜的RPS2、印度南瓜的RPS2-like亲缘关系最近,其次是黄瓜的At4g27190和苦瓜的At4g27220,与甜瓜的Atg27190亲缘关系相对较远;组织表达特性分析表明,CfRFN2基因在黑籽南瓜叶片中表达量最高,其次是茎,而在果皮和根中表达量较低。该研究采用烟草脆裂病毒载体系统,构建了黑籽南瓜VIGS沉默载体pTRV2-CfRFN2,含沉默载体的农杆菌侵染黑籽南瓜幼苗后接种枯萎病菌,qRT-PCR检测表明,接种后2 d和4 d的转pTRV2-CfRFN2沉默组植株的CfRFN2基因表达量比接种后同时期的野生型植株显著降低(分别下降34.75%和98.27%),病情指数增加为野生型的1.32倍,初步证明黑籽南瓜CfRFN2基因具有抗枯萎病的功能,推测该基因可能在黑籽南瓜抗枯萎病防御过程中发挥着重要作用。该研究中NBS类基因CfRFN2的克隆和VIGS验证为黑籽南瓜更多优异基因的克隆和功能验证奠定了前期基础,也为发掘黑籽南瓜优异抗病基因和开展瓜类分子育种提供新信息。
