生长素输出载体蛋白PIN1在作物根和胚中的亚细胞定位

生长素输出载体在植物发育中起非常重要的作用。然而,生长素输出载体蛋白PIN1在农作物水稻、小麦、玉米和大豆的根和胚中的亚细胞定位尚不清楚。该研究首先分析了OsPIN1b和它的同源物的氨基酸序列特征,发现小麦(TaPIN1)、玉米(ZmPIN1b)和大豆(GmPIN1b)中的PIN1序列与水稻的OsPIN1b序列分别具有61.5%、62.5%、61.9%的相似性。然后根据水稻‘日本晴’(‘Nipponbare’)的OsPIN1b的氨基酸序列,人工合成OsPIN1b多肽并注射健康的新西兰白兔获得了抗兔的OsPIN1b多克隆抗体,在通过免疫印迹方法检测抗兔的OsPIN1b多克隆抗体的有效性后,发现可以利用该抗体有效检测到水稻叶片及根中OsPIN1b的表达。为检测OsPIN1及其同源物在不同作物胚根和胚中子叶细胞的定位,利用制备的抗兔的OsPIN1b多克隆抗体并通过免疫组化实验,发现水稻的OsPIN1b、小麦的TaPIN1和玉米的ZmPIN1b非极性定位在早期的胚根和胚中子叶表皮细胞的细胞质膜上,大豆中的GmPIN1b非极性定位在胚根表皮细胞的质膜上,而在胚的子叶细胞中是胞质定位。为进一步检测水稻中OsPIN1b的亚细胞定位,对水稻根分生区表皮细胞用蛋白质转运抑制剂BFA (Brefeldin A)及抗兔的OsPIN1b多克隆抗体处理后,进行免疫组化实验,结果发现水稻中的OsPIN1b可以通过胞吞转运途径从水稻根表皮细胞膜进入细胞质中。该研究利用抗兔的OsPIN1b多克隆抗体有效检测了OsPIN1b及其同源物在水稻、小麦、玉米和大豆的胚根表皮细胞及胚中子叶表皮细胞的亚细胞定位,这将有助于进一步揭示生长素输出载体OsPIN1b及其同源物通过调控生长素极性运输而参与作物发育的作用机制。

石蒜LrP5CS基因的克隆与表达特性分析

Δ1-吡咯啉-5-羧酸合成酶(P5CS)是植物渗透胁迫下谷氨酸途径合成脯氨酸的关键酶。该研究以石蒜(Lycoris radiata)为材料,采用同源克隆、RACE方法结合RT-PCR技术克隆获得LrP5CS基因全长cDNA序列。序列分析表明,LrP5CS基因全长2 521bp,其中开放阅读框(ORF)为2 139bp,编码713个氨基酸,预测编码蛋白质的分子量为77.19kD,等电点为6.34;LrP5CS是1个稳定的疏水蛋白,不含信号肽,不具有跨膜结构,具有AAK超基因家族和ALDH-SF超基因家族的保守结构域。氨基酸序列比对和系统进化树分析发现,LrP5CS与植物其他P5CS蛋白具有较高的一致性,且与海枣PdP5CS及油棕EgP5CS聚为一类,亲缘关系最近。实时荧光定量PCR分析结果表明,LrP5CS在根、鳞茎和叶片中均有表达,其中在鳞茎中的表达量最高。LrP5CS在20%聚乙二醇(PEG)处理下的表达模式分析发现,LrP5CS受PEG胁迫处理的诱导表达,其基因相对表达量在处理后6h达到最高;随着处理时间的延长,LrP5CS基因相对表达量水平逐渐下调至对照水平。将LrP5CS连接到表达载体pET-28a上,转化获得LrP5CS编码基因的大肠杆菌BL21(DE3)工程菌,通过IPTG诱导表达,SDS-PAGE分析表达产物发现成功表达目的蛋白。该研究结果为进一步分析LrP5CS基因功能及石蒜抗逆分子育种奠定了基础。

Effects of MULTIFOLIATE-PINNA, AFILA, TENDRIL-LESS and UNIFOLIATA genes on leafblade architecture in Pisum sativum

In order to dissect the genetic regulation of leafblade morphogenesis, 16 genotypes of pea, constructed by combining the wild-type and mutant alleles of MFP, AF, TL and UNI genes, were quantitatively phenotyped. The morphological features of the three domains of leafblades of four genotypes, unknown earlier, were described. All the genotypes were found to differ in leafblade morphology. It was evident that MFP and TL functions acted as repressor of pinna ramification, in the distal domain. These functions, with and without interaction with UNI, also repressed the ramification of proximal pinnae in the absence of AF function. The expression of MFP and TL required UNI function. AF function was found to control leafblade architecture multifariously. The earlier identified role of AF as a repressor of UNI in the proximal domain was confirmed. Negative control of AF on the UNI-dependent pinna ramification in the distal domain was revealed. It was found that AF establishes a boundary between proximal and distal domains and activates formation of leaflet pinnae in the proximal domain.     

Presence of Rhizobium Etli bv . Phaseoli and Rhizobium Gallicum bv . Gallicum in Egyptian Soils

Seven bean rhizobial strains EBRI 2, 3, 21, 24, 26, 27 and 29 identified as Rhizobium etli, and EBRI 32 identified as Rhizobium gallicum, isolated from Egyptian soils and which nodulated Phaseolus vulgaris efficiently, were subjected to hybridization with a nifH probe in order to estimate the copy number of this gene. Seven strains (EBRI 2, 3, 21, 24, 26, 27 and 29) which were only able to nodulate Phaseolus vulgaris, contained three copies of the nifH gene, consistent with their identification as Rhizobium etli bv. phaseoli. Only one strain (EBRI 32) which nodulated both Phaseolus vulgaris and Leucaena leucocephala, had one copy of nifH gene. This confirmed the classification of this strain as Rhizobium gallicum bv. gallicum.     

Characterisation of cell wall polysaccharides, arabinogalactans-proteins (AGPs) and phenolics of Cola nitida, Cola acuminata and Garcinia kola seeds

Many Cola plant species are endemic to West and Central Africa. Cola acuminata and Cola nitida are used as masticatory when fresh, while the dried nuts are used for beverages and pharmaceutical purposes in Europe and North America. Garcinia kola seeds, that serve as a substitute for the true kola nuts, are used in African traditional medicine for the treatment of various diseases, including colic, headache and liver cirrhosis. Seeds extracts of G. kola are also known for their anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial and antiviral properties. To gain information on the chemical properties of the kolas, we have isolated and analyzed cell wall polysaccharides, arabinogalactan-proteins and phenolic substances from the seeds of the three kola species. The sugar composition of cell wall material of C. acuminata, C. nitida and G. kola revealed that Gal (up to 30%), Ara, GalA and Glc as the predominant monosaccharides, representing approximately 90% by mol of the total hydrolysable sugar present in this material. In Ammonium oxalate cell wall fraction, GalA was found to be the major sugar present in all kola species. In the alkali-soluble fraction, there were significant differences in the level of Glc and Gal. The level of Glc was high in C. acuminata and C. nitida while the level of Gal and Xyl were high in C. nitida and G. cola. Isolation and quantification of arabinogalactan-proteins demonstrate that G. kola seeds contained four to eight times more of these proteoglycans than the seeds of the other two species. Finally, analysis of soluble phenolic substances shows that caffeine and catechin were largely represented in C. acumina and C. nitida seeds, with caffeine accounting for 50% of all soluble phenolics. These findings indicate that the three Kola seeds are highly enriched in pectins and proteoglycans and that C. acuminata and C. nitida can be used as a possible source of caffeine and catechin.

中国黑粉菌属和利罗黑粉菌属

黑粉菌属是Roussel 1806年建立的,全世界记载有三百余种,主要寄生于禾本科,是经济作物及牧草的重要致病菌·长期以来,对黑粉菌的邢子使用过各种名称,如厚垣孢子,冬孢子及黑粉孢子等.本文采用黑粉孢子以区别锈菌的冬孢子. 芳’(1979)在《中国真菌总汇》中列出黑粉菌属五十种及一个变型.作者经过显微结构和超显微结构的研究,承认其中二十九种为正确名称,八种及一变型为异名,顶黑粉菌(Ustilago acrearus Berk.)由于错拼而被废弃.埃地黑粉菌(Ustilago emodensis Berk.)被转移至利罗粉菌属(Liroa).另有十一种黑粉菌因缺少标本留待今后订正.自1979年以后,杨信东(1983)增加黑粉菌属二种我国新纪录,K.范基和郭林(1986)描述一新种,四种新纪录.在本文中,作者描述一新种:鸢尾蒜黑粉(Ustilago ixiolirii Guo L) ,孢子堆生在蒴果内,不开裂,黑色,粉末状.黑粉孢子球形,近球形,稀椭圆形, 12.5-21×10-21μm,黑褐色,壁厚1-1.Sμm,纹饰脑状.是迄今生在石蒜科植物上唯一黑粉菌的种,其它几种黑粉菌均属条黑粉菌属.本文增加七种我国新纪录.共计四十九种,寄生于六科四十四属植物,主要是禾本科和蓼科.这仅是黑粉菌属研究的初步报告,在全国范围内大量采集黑粉菌标本后,作者相信会有更多新种和我国新纪录被发现.利罗黑粉菌属(Liroa)是从黑粉菌属(Ustaligo)分出的,此属为单种属.

The phylogenetic placement of Ostropales within Lecanoromycetes (Ascomycota) revisited

Results of molecular studies regarding the phylogenetic placement of the order Ostropales and related taxa within Lecanoromycetes were thus far inconclusive. Some analyses placed the order as sister to the rest of Lecanoromycetes, while others inferred a position nested within Lecanoromycetes. We assembled a data set of 101 species including sequences from nuLSU rDNA, mtSSU rDNA, and the nuclear protein-coding RPB1 for each species to examine the cause of incongruencies in previously published phylogenies. MP, minimum evolution, and Bayesian analyses were performed using the combined three-region data set and the single-gene data sets. The position of Ostropales nested in Lecanoromycetes is confirmed in all single-gene and concatenated analyses, and a placement as sister to the rest of Lecanoromycetes is significantly rejected using two independent methods of alternative topology testing. Acarosporales and related taxa (Acarosporaceae group) are basal in Lecanoromycetes. However, if the these basal taxa are excluded from the analyses, Ostropales appear to be sister to the rest of Lecanoromycetes, suggesting different ingroup rooting as the cause for deviating topologies in previously published phylogenies.

Hydroxylation of steroids by Fusarium oxysporum, Exophiala jeanselmei and Ceratocystis paradoxa

The potential of Fusarium oxysporum var. cubense UAMH 9013 to perform steroid biotransformations was reinvestigated using single phase and pulse feed conditions. The following natural steroids served as substrates: dehydroepiandrosterone (1), pregnenolone (2), testosterone (3), progesterone (4), cortisone (5), prednisone (6), estrone (7) and sarsasapogenin (8). The results showed the possible presence of C-7 and C-15 hydroxylase enzymes. This hypothesis was explored using three synthetic androstanes: androstane-3,17-dione (9), androsta-4,6-diene-3,17-dione (10) and 3α,5α-cycloandrost-6-en-17-one (11). These fermentations of non-natural steroids showed that C-7 hydroxylation was as a result of that position being allylic. The evidence also pointed towards the presence of a C-15 hydroxylase enzyme.The eleven steroids were also fed to Exophialajeanselmei var. lecanii-corni UAMH 8783. The results showed that the fungus appears to have very active 5α and 14α-hydroxylase enzymes, and is also capable of carrying out allylic oxidations.Ceratocystis paradoxa UAMH 8784 was grown in the presence of the above-mentioned steroids. The results showed that monooxygenases which effect allylic hydroxylation and Baeyer–Villiger rearrangement were active. However, redox reactions predominated.
