A method of DNA isolation from epiphytic CAM ferns for use in random amplified polymorphic DNA analysis

A method for DNA extraction from Pyrrosia piloselloides (L.) Price and Pyrrosia longifolia (Burm.) Morton utilising hexadecyltrimethylammonium bromide is described. The genomic DNA isolated was found to be relatively pure and shown to be suitable for RAPD analysis. This revised version was published online in July 2006 with corrections to the Cover Date.

The use of whole genome amplification in the study of human disease

The availability of large amounts of genomic DNA is of critical importance for many of the molecular biology assays used in the analysis of human disease. However, since the amount of patient tissue available is often limited and as particular foci of interest may consist of only a few hundred cells, the yield of DNA is often insufficient for extensive analysis. To address this problem, several whole genome amplification (WGA) methodologies have been developed. Initial WGA approaches were based on the polymerase chain reaction (PCR). However, recent reports have described the use of non-PCR-based linear amplification protocols for WGA. Using these methods, it is possible to generate microgram quantities of DNA starting with as little as 1mg of genomic DNA. This review will provide an overview of WGA approaches and summarize some of the uses for amplified DNA in various high-throughput genetic applications.     

广西石韦属七种植物叶片结构与孢子形态的比较研究

利用石蜡切片法研究了石韦属7种植物叶片的形态结构。结果显示:7种植物的叶片均属异面叶,且具典型的旱生叶结构;表皮大多为复表皮,表皮细胞排列紧密,主脉表面覆有厚角质膜,表皮毛为星状毛,由多细胞组成;气孔集中分布于下表皮,气孔类型为围绕型,气孔器略下陷;孢子两侧对称,极面观椭圆形,赤道面观豆形或超半圆形,表面饰纹为瘤状饰纹。石韦属7种植物的叶表皮细胞形状、表皮毛、表皮细胞垂周壁式样、气孔密度等解剖结构均表现出一定的种间差异,这些特征可为石韦属植物种间分类提供依据。     

石韦属植物脉序特征及其分类学意义

采用解剖学方法,研究了水龙骨科鹿角蕨亚科石韦属(Pyrrosia)17种植物的脉序特征,并与该科其它3亚科8属8个代表种的脉序进行了对比。结果显示,石韦属植物的脉序属于结合脉序,并可进一步细分为弯脉蕨型和拟槲蕨型。根据脉序特征的聚类分析表明,石韦属植物的结合脉序与水龙骨科其它属植物的结合脉序具有显著差异,且此脉序特征是石韦属内较稳定的分类性状,具有一定的分类学价值。本研究还基于脉序特征,讨论了石蕨(P.angustissimum(Giesenh.ex Diels)TagawaK.lwats.)、抱树石韦(P.piloselloides M.G.Price Kalikasan)与其它石韦属植物的亲缘与进化关系。     

Sheared-type G(anti).C(syn) base-pair: a unique d(GXC) loop closure motif

Stable DNA loop structures closed by a novel G.C base-pair have been determined for the single-residue d(GXC) loops (X=A, T, G or C) in low-salt solution by high-resolution nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) techniques. The closing G.C base-pair in these loops is not of the canonical Watson-Crick type, but adopts instead a unique sheared-type (trans Watson-Crick/sugar-edge) pairing, like those occurring in the sheared mismatched G.A or A.C base-pair, to draw the two opposite strands together. The cytidine residue in the closing base-pair is transformed into the rare syn domain to form two H-bonds with the guanine base and to prevent the steric clash between the G 2NH(2) and the C H-5 protons. Besides, the sugar pucker of the syn cytidine is still located in the regular C2'-endo domain, unlike the C3'-endo domain adopted for the pyrimidines of the out-of-alternation left-handed Z-DNA structure. The facile formation of the compact d(GXC) loops closed by a unique sheared-type G(anti).C(syn) base-pair demonstrates the great potential of the single-stranded d(GXC) triplet repeats to fold into stable hairpins.
