鼻蝇亚科分族的探讨并记二新种(双翅目:丽蝇科)

鼻蝇亚科(Rhiniinae)是双翅目丽蝇科(Calliphoridae)中比较特殊的一大类群,因此也有人把它从丽蝇科分出,独立成科的。其特征有口上片突出如鼻状,后头上部大半是裸出的,约占整个头的宽度的范围内连粉被也缺如;r脉的上方沿后侧有一列明晰的小刚毛,翅下大结节上无立纤毛,下腋瓣裸。主要分布在东洋区、非洲区、大洋洲区以及古北区南缘。目前全世界已知有22个属,近300种,曾有报道其幼虫寄生于白蚁巢内及蝗     

New disease resistance genes in soybean against Pseudomonas syringae pv glycinea: evidence that one of them interacts with a bacterial elicitor

Summary Soybean [Glycine max (L.) Merr.] cultivars Flambeau and Merit differed in their resistance to Pseudomonas syringae pv glycinea (Psg) race 4, carrying each of four different avirulence (avr) genes cloned from Psg or the related bacterium, Pseudomonas syringae pv tomato. Segregation data for F₂ and F₃ progeny of Flambeau x Merit crosses indicated that single dominant and nonallelic genes account for resistance to Psg race 4, carrying avirulence genes avrA, avrB, avrC, or avrD. Segregants were also recovered that carried all four or none of the disease resistance genes. One of the disease resistance genes (Rpg1, complementing bacterial avirulence gene B) had been described previously, but the other three genes — designated Rpg2, Rpg3, and Rpg4 — had not here to fore been defined. Rpg3 and Rpg4 are linked (40.5 ± 3.2 recombination units). Rpg4 complements avrD, cloned from Pseudomonas syringae pv tomato, but a functional copy of this avirulence gene has not thus far been observed in Pseudomonas syringae pv glycinea. Resistance gene Rpg4 therefore may account in part for the resistance of soybean to Pseudomonas syringae pv tomato and other pathogens harboring avrD.

Cytological studies of triploids and their progeny from male-sterile (ms1) soybean

Summary Triploids (2n=3X=60) were obtained from genetic male-sterile (ms1 ms1) soybean [Glycine max (L.) Merr.] plants. Meiosis, pollen fertility, and chromosome number of their progeny were studied. Studies of meiosis in fertile and sterile triploids revealed no distinguishable differences in chromosome associations. Male-sterile plants formed coenocytic microspores characteristic of the ms1 mutant. Restitution of some dyad and tetrad nuclei were observed in male-sterile plants. Chromosomes of the triploids tended to occur in trivalents during diakinesis and metaphase I (MI), but multivalents, bivalents, and univalents also were observed. Average types and frequencies of chromosome associations per cell in diakinesis and MI from 542 pollen mother cells were 0.004 IX + 0.06 VI + 0.002 V + 0.005 IV + 16.99 III + 1.79 II + 5.03 I. Some secondary associations, nonhomologous pairing, and aberrant nucleolar distributions occasionally were observed. Such behavior support the hypothesis of duplicated genomes and the polyploid origin of soybean. Pollen fertility in male-fertile triploid plants (Ms1 ms1 ms1) varied from 57% to 82%, with an average of about 71%. Chromosome numbers of progenies obtained from these fertile triploids varied from 2n=40 to 2n=71, and exhibited a near-random distribution, with the majority (about 60%) being between 56 and 65. Progenies of the fertile triploids gave segregation ratios for the ms1 allele, which confirmed the Ms1 ms1 ms1 genotype.Joint contribution: Agricultural Research Service, U.S. Department of Agriculture, and Journal Paper No. J-11672 of the Iowa Agriculture and Home Economics Experiment Station, Ames, IA 50011, USA, Project 2471     

菠萝叶膜脂脂肪酸组成的温度效应及其与抗寒性的关系

生长在不同季节的菠萝叶膜脂脂肪酸的配比存在着明显差异;随着大气温度的下降,18:1含量显著减少,18:2和18:3含量增加。不同品种均表现出一致的变化趋势。致害低温破坏了膜脂,使较不抗寒品种的16:0含量增加,18:2和18:3含量减少;较抗寒品种这种变化则较不显著。适当低温锻炼能改变膜脂脂肪酸的代谢过程,16:0和18:1含量减少,18:3含量增加。当处于更低温度时,除了16:0和18:1继续减少外,有一部分18:2也脱饱和而转变为18:3。因之明显地增加了膜脂中18:3的含量和脂肪酸的不饱和度,从而有利于抗寒性的提高。而品种间的抗寒性差异亦是在此低温期间表现出来。     

Dry matter and nitrogen accumulation and partitioning in selected soybean genotypes of different derivation

Summary Experiments were conducted to determine if changes in the accumulation and partitioning of dry matter (DM) and nitrogen (N) in soybean [Glycine max (L.) Merr.] were associated with agronomic improvements and to assess the degree of genetic variation present for these traits. Fifteen maturity group II soybean genotypes including three ancestral cultivars, three modern cultivars, and nine agronomically superior plant introductions (PI's) were grown in replicated tests at four locations in the eastern U.S. The DM and N of stems, pod walls, and seeds were determined at maturity, and the apparent harvest indices (HI) and the apparent nitrogen harvest indices (NHI) were calculated. Pod DM partitioning was calculated as the ratio of seed DM to total pod DM and pod N partitioning was the ratio of seed N to total pod N. The mean DM accumulation of the modern cultivars was significantly greater than that of the ancestral cultivars and PI's. The apparent HI and the pod DM partitioning of both the modern and ancestral cultivars were significantly higher than that of the PI's. The three modern cultivars demonstrated the highest N accumulation. As a group, the modern cultivars consistently showed maximal accumulation and partitioning of DM and N suggesting that these physiological traits are associated with agronomic improvement. No individual PI was found to possess DM or N accumulation or partitioning which significantly exceeded the best modern cultivar or ancestral cultivar, indicating that genotypes with accumulation or partitioning characteristics which exceed available germplasm may be difficult to identify. Seed yield was correlated (P<0.05) with both DM (r=0.61) and N (r=0.57) accumulation.

A novel plasma membrane-bound thioredoxin from soybean

Two thioredoxin cDNAs from soybean were isolated by screening an expression library using an anti-(plasma membrane) serum. The nucleotide sequences of the two cDNAs were found to be 89% identical. The polypeptides encoded by the two cDNAs, designated TRX1 and TRX2, contain a disulfide active site, as found in other thioredoxins. TRX1 was expressed as a fusion protein in Escherichia coli and shown to possess thiol-disufide interchange activity. Unlike other eukaryotic thioredoxins, these two soybean thioredoxins contain a putative transmembrane domain in their N-terminal regions. To determine subcellular location, the TRX1 was fused with a reporter epitope at its C-terminus and expressed in transgenic tobacco plants. The fusion protein was co-purified with plasma membrane markers 1,3-glucan synthase and vanadate-sensitive ATPase, indicating the plasma membrane location of TRX1. When the reporter epitope was inserted between the start codon and the transmembrane domain in the N-terminus, the fusion protein was found in the soluble fraction, possibly due to disruption of the transmembrane domain by the highly hydrophilic epitope sequence. Taken together, our results demonstrate that soybean TRX1 is a plasma membrane-bound thioredoxin, which is most likely anchored to the membrane through the N-terminal transmembrane domain. It is known that plant plasma membranes contain various proteins with thiol-disulfide interchange activity. The soybean thioredoxins reported here are the first group of such proteins to be characterized at the molecular level. However, the biological function of the plasma membrane-bound thioredoxin remains to be determined.

Genetic variation for quantitative traits in soybean lines derived from tissue culture

Tissue culture may generate useful genetic variation for quantitative traits. The objective of this study was to analyze genetic variation for ten quantitative traits of soybean [Glycine max (L.) Merr.] among lines derived from the tissue culture of three cultivars. The three cultivars used to obtain R0 plants from tissue culture were BSR 101, Hodgson 78, and Jilin 3. A total of 63 R0-derived lines of BSR 101, eight of Hodgson 78, and 42 of Jilin 3 was planted with the untreated controls in row plots in a randomized complete-block design with three replications at two locations for each of 2 years. The traits evaluated were days to beginning bloom (R1), beginning seed (R5), beginning maturity (R7), full maturity (R8), height, lodging, seed yield, seed weight, protein content, and oil content. Significant (P < 0.05) variation was observed among lines for each of the ten quantitative traits. There was 57.1% of the BSR 101 lines, 87.5% of the Hodgson 78 lines, and 76.2% of the Jilin 3 lines that were significantly different from the controls for at least one trait. The percentages of lines that were significantly different from the control for an individual trait ranged from 2.7% for oil content to 25.7% for R7. The magnitude of the changes was relatively small. Although this genetic variation may be useful for cultivar development, greater variability at less expense would be expected with conventional artificial hybridization.Journal Paper No. J-14958 of the Iowa Agriculture and Home Economics Experiment Station, Ames, IOWA, USA Project No. 2475.
