MHO对苹果虎皮病发生和果皮活性氧代谢的影响

为研究6-甲基-5-庚烯-2酮(MHO)诱导苹果虎皮病发病以及对果皮活性氧代谢的影响,该实验将冷藏210d的红星苹果用0.5、1.0、2.0mL/L的MHO进行外源处理后,测定其内源MHO含量,在25℃下放置10d后,期间定期测定货架期果皮中的MDA、O2.-、H2O2含量,以及PPO、SOD、CAT、POD活性的变化。结果表明,随着MHO处理浓度的增加,红星苹果果皮中MDA、O2.-、H2O2的含量也随之增加;果皮中的PPO活性逐渐上升,SOD、CAT、POD的活性随着MHO的处理浓度增加而降低;随着MHO处理浓度的增加,果实虎皮病的发病率也随之升高,同时果皮内源MHO含量也随之逐渐增加。研究认为,外源MHO可能通过降低抗氧化酶活性进而参与苹果虎皮病的发病过程。     

Isolation and characterization of microsatellite loci from the barley scald pathogen,Rhynchosporium secalis

Fifteen primer pairs were designed for 14 polymorphic microsatellite loci, which were isolated and characterized from genomic libraries of Rhynchosporium secalis. Conditions for multiplexing and simultaneous genotyping of up to eight loci in a single run are described. The number of alleles per polymorphic locus ranged from two to 13 in populations from Switzerland and Australia. Genotypic diversity ranged from 61.5 to 66.7. Gene diversity ranged from 0.08 to 0.89 for individual polymorphic loci, with averages of 0.54 and 0.62 for the populations from Switzerland and Australia, respectively. Variable levels of polymorphism make these ideal markers for population genetic analyses.     

应激大鼠肾胞液[~3H]醛固酮结合活性的变化及调节机制的初步研究

为探讨烫伤引起病理性应激时大鼠肾胞液醛固酮结合活性的变化及可能的调节机制 ,以 [3H] 醛固酮为配体 ,用放射性配基 受体结合分析法测定了正常对照组、轻度烫伤组和重度烫伤组大鼠肾胞液醛固酮结合活性的结合容量 (Rt)和表观解离常数 (Kd) ;采用体内注射TNF α、IL 1β中和抗体和α 促黑色素细胞刺激激素 (α melanocyte stimulatinghormone,α MSH)和合成肽KPV (Ac D Lys L Pro D Val)等措施调节其改变。结果发现 ,肾胞液存在两种不同结合容量、不同亲和力的醛固酮结合活性受体。与正常对照组的Rt (Rt1:4 1 6± 7 2fmol/mgpro ;Rt2 :3 17 6± 70 0fmol/mgpro)相比 ,轻烫组的Rt(Rt1:4 1 4± 5 0fmol/mgpro ;Rt2 :3 14 8± 4 5 7fmol/mgpro)无显著差异 (P >0 0 5 ;P >0 0 5 ) ;重烫组的Rt(Rt1:2 2 4± 5 4fmol/mgpro ;Rt2 :196 3± 3 2 5fmol/mgpro)则显著下降(P <0 0 1;P <0 0 1)。体内注射TNF α与IL 1β中和抗体、α MSH及KPV均能明显提高重烫组Rt值。结果提示 ,重度烫伤大鼠肾胞浆醛固酮结合活性降低 ,TNF α、IL 1β中和抗体、α MSH及KPV均可防止重度烫伤引起病理性应激时醛固酮结合活性降低。     

In vitro reactions of sugarcane (Saccharum SP.) plantlets inoculated with 2 strains of Xanthomonas albilineans (Ashby) Dowson

The symptoms of the leaf scald disease can be reproduced in vitro through the inoculation of sugarcane tissue culture plantlets. The pathogen is detected in the inoculated plantlet and is maintained at the surface of the base of the plantlets grown in vitro. Two strains of X. albilineans belonging to different serovars and lysovars reacted like pathotypes. The importance of the plant incubation temperature is clearly demonstrated. Further, in vitro the disease goes through the same phase of latency as in the field.     

Recent insights into barley and Rhynchosporium commune interactions

Rhynchosporium commune is the causal pathogen of scald in barley (Hordeum vulgare), a foliar disease that can reduce yield by up to 40% in susceptible cultivars. R. commune is found worldwide in all temperate growing regions and is regarded as one of the most economically important barley pathogens. It is a polycyclic pathogen with the ability to rapidly evolve new virulent strains in response to resistance genes deployed in commercial cultivars. Hence, introgression and pyramiding of different loci for resistance (qualitative or quantitative) through marker-assisted selection is an effective way to improve scald resistance in barley. This review summarizes all 148 resistance quantitative trait loci reported at the date of submission of this review and projects them onto the barley physical map, where it is clear many loci co-locate on chromosomes 3H and 7H. We have summarized the major named resistance loci and reiterated the renaming of Rrs15 (CI8288) to Rrs17. This review provides a comprehensive resource for future discovery and breeding efforts of qualitative and quantitative scald resistance loci.     

外源性VEGF促进大鼠Ⅱ度烫伤创面中晚期愈合

目的探究Ⅱ度烫伤时外源性血管内皮生长因子(vascular endothelial growth factor,VEGF)对皮肤愈合及其对表皮干细胞(epidermal stem cells,ESCs)迁移、分化的影响方法健康Wistar大鼠随机分为VEGF组、空白对照组、阿西替尼(Axitinib,VEGF抑制剂)组。采用水浴烫伤法制备Ⅱ度烫伤模型,分别以0.2μg/ml VEGF、PBS溶液和10μg/ml阿西替尼处理各组创面,各组均治疗7d,从烫伤至创面愈合分别在第2d、8d、14d及21d测量创面愈合情况,并取创面组织作组织学检测,运用免疫组化技术检测ECSs的分布及数量。结果①创面愈合率:烫伤后21d VEGF组>对照组>阿西替尼组;②愈合速度:烫伤后1-7d空白对照组>阿西替尼组>VEGF组,其后VEGF组愈合速度逐渐加快,第14d开始愈合速度表现为VEGF组>空白对照组>阿西替尼组;③组织学变化:烫伤后8-21d,VEGF组表皮细胞增殖明显,表皮修复和毛囊再生迅速,均早于空白对照组及阿西替尼组。④ECSs阳性细胞率变化:烫伤后第8-14dVEGF组ECSs阳性细胞率明显高于空白对照组和阿西替尼。结论Ⅱ度烫伤时,外源性VEGF在愈合中晚期加快愈合速度使愈合时间明显缩短,并且促进毛囊汗腺的再生使修复后的创面在外观、功能与正常皮肤相近,有助于提高全层皮肤创面的愈合质量。     

白条素研究进展

白条黄单胞菌((Xanthomonas albilineans(Ashby) Downson))是我国进境植物检疫性有害生物,其引起的甘蔗白条病是甘蔗上最重要的细菌病害。白条黄单胞菌产生一种高效的植物毒素/抗生素,称为白条素(Albicidin)。作为引起甘蔗白条病的致病因子,白条素通过抑制质体DNA回旋酶阻碍叶绿体分化,导致叶面出现典型的白色条纹症状,同时白条素的抗菌活性也赋予白条黄单胞菌在其定殖甘蔗过程中对抗其他细菌的竞争优势。此外,在纳摩尔浓度下,白条素对人类各种革兰氏阳性和革兰氏阴性病原细菌具有快速杀菌作用,使其成为具有潜在临床应用价值的抗菌药物。文中综述了该毒素的分子结构、传统提取方法、作用机制、生物合成基因及途径和化学合成方法及改良现状,以期为甘蔗白条病的防治及医用新型抗菌素的开发提供参考。     

Silicon partially preserves the photosynthetic performance of rice plants infected by Monographella albescens

Leaf scald, caused by Monographella albescens, is one of the major diseases in rice worldwide. This study investigated the effect of silicon (Si) on the photosynthetic gas exchange parameters [net CO₂ assimilation rate (A), stomatal conductance to water vapour (g_s), transpiration rate (E)] and internal CO₂ concentration (C_i), chlorophyll (Chl) fluorescence a parameters [minimal fluorescence (F₀), maximum fluorescence (F_m), maximum quantum yield of photosystem II (F_v/F_m)], photochemical quenching coefficient (q_p), effective quantum yield of PSII [Y(II)], quantum yield of regulated energy dissipation [Y(NPQ)] and quantum yield dissipation non‐regulated [Y(NO)] and the concentrations of pigments in rice plants grown in nutrient solutions containing either 0 (?Si) or 2 mM Si (+Si) and non‐inoculated or inoculated with M. albescens. Leaf scald severity decreased with higher foliar Si concentration. For the inoculated +Si plants, A, g_s and E were significantly higher in comparison with the inoculated ?Si plants, in which C_i was significantly increased. Similarly, the concentrations of Chl_a, Chl_b, total Chl_a+b and carotenoids were higher for the +Si plants in comparison with the ?Si plants. Changes in the images of Chl a fluorescence were first observed precisely on the ?Si plants leaves in comparison with the +Si plants. A decrease of q_P and Y(II) in inoculated ?Si plants, in comparison with the inoculated +Si plants, was accompanied by an increase in Y(NPQ) and Y(NO). Notably, the extent of the leaf areas was much more evident for Y(II) and q_P in comparison with F₀, F_m and F_v/F_m, suggesting that Y(II) and q_P were good predictors in detecting the early effects of leaf scald on the leaf photosynthesis. For the +Si non‐inoculated plants, changes in Y(II) were associated with alterations in both Y(NPQ) and Y(NO) compared with non‐inoculated ?Si plants. In conclusion, the photosynthetic performance (as demonstrated by the gas exchange and Chl a fluorescence parameters) and the pigment pools of rice plants infected with M. albescens were preserved by Si supply and, therefore, provided an increase in rice resistance against leaf scald.     

Purification and properties of an unusual UDP-glucose dehydrogenase, NADPH-dependent, from Xanthomonas albilineans

Xanthomonas albilineans produces a UDP-glucose dehydrogenase growing on sucrose. The enzyme oxidizes UDP-glucose to UDP-glucuronic acid by using molecular oxygen and NADPH. Kinetics of enzymatic oxydation of NADPH is linearly dependent on the amount of oxygen supplied. The enzyme has been purified at homogeneity. The value of pI of the purified enzyme is 8.98 and its molecular mass has been estimated as about 14 kDa. The enzyme shows a michaelian kinetics for UDP-glucose concentrations. The value of K_m for UDP-glucose is 0.87 mM and 0.26 mM for NADPH, although the enzyme has three different sites to interact with NADPH. The enzyme is inhibited by UDP-glucose concentrations higher than 1.3 mM. N-Terminal sequence has been determined as IQPYNH.     

Staining Paraffin Embedded Sections of Scald of Barley before Paraffin Removal

Staining of paraffin embedded sections with periodic acid-Schiff reagent and fast green before paraffin removal resulted in differentiation of barley seed and leaf tissue from fungal structures of Rhynchosporium secalis. Crystal violet, toluidine blue O and aniline blue also successfully stained fungal structures of R. secalis in barley leaf tissues. Staining of embedded sections before paraffin removal allows simple processing of a series of sections, saves time and reduces solvent consumption.
