The lipase Lip2 of the edible basidiomycete, Pleurotus sapidus, is an extracellular enzyme capable of hydrolysing xanthophyll esters with high efficiency. The gene encoding Lip2 was expressed
in Escherichia coli TOP10 using the gene III signal sequence to accumulate proteins in the periplasmatic space. The heterologous expression under
control of the araBAD promoter led to the high level production of recombinant protein, mainly as inclusion bodies, but partially
in a soluble and active form. A fusion with a C-terminal His tag was used for purification and immunochemical detection of
the target protein. This is the first example of a heterologous expression and periplasmatic accumulation of a catalytically
active lipase from a basidiomycete fungus. 相似文献

The feasibility of later-generation hybrid production in ferns has not been previously studied, although it is a significant
factor in relation to reproductive isolation. Osmunda × intermedia, a hybrid between O. japonica and O. lancea, is semifertile and has moderate spore germination rates. Under the artificial conditions of this study, F2 and F3 offspring
were formed. Some of the F2 offspring showed precocity, and some of the F3 offspring also showed precocity. This fertility
suggests that introgressive hybridization might be ongoing in nature. This also indicates a currently unknown genetic control
over the timing of fertile frond production in Osmunda. 相似文献

Poplar, a fast-growing species widely used outside its original area of distribution, was evaluated in the present study to verify its tolerance and hardening to waterlogging in anticipation of its implementation in rehabilitation practices for marginal lands subjected to flooding. Three water regimes were applied to the plants, grown in pots, with two clones (I-488 and D-64) with different sensitivities to flooding. These plants included a lot consisting of control plants (C), which were irrigated with good drainage, a non-preconditioned lot (NPr), and a third lot that was preconditioned to flooding (Pr). Furthermore, flooding was imposed on NPr and Pr plants by submerging pots up to 5 cm above the collar for 60 days followed by a 40-day recovery period. At the end of these two periods, shoot dry mass, foliar concentrations of certain ions, soluble sugars, starch and proline, and the relative electrolyte leakage were evaluated. The preconditioning treatment conferred different degrees of hardness on the treated plants compared with NPr plants. Our results revealed that high carbohydrate availability (soluble sugars and starch) is suggested to participate in sustaining membrane integrity which may affect the recuperative potential of Pr plants, notably those of clone I-488, from flooding damage. 相似文献

Many different processes have an impact on the shape of plant karyotype. Recently, cytogenetic examination of Lolium species has revealed the occurrence of spontaneous fragile sites (FSs) associated with 35S rDNA regions. The FSs are defined as the chromosomal regions that are sensitive to forming gaps or breaks on chromosomes. The shape of karyotype can also be determined by interstitial telomeric sequences (ITSs), what was recognized for the first time in this paper in chromosomes of Festuca pratensis × Lolium perenne hybrids. Both FSs and ITSs can contribute to genome instabilities and chromosome rearrangements. To evaluate whether these cytogenetic phenomena have an impact on karyotype reshuffling observed in Festuca × Lolium hybrids, we examined F1 F. pratensis × L. perenne plants and generated F2-F9 progeny by fluorescent in situ hybridization (FISH) using rDNA sequences, telomere and centromere probes, as well as by genomic in situ hybridization (GISH). Analyses using a combination of FISH and GISH revealed that intergenomic rearrangements did not correspond to FSs but overlapped with ITSs for several analyzed genotypes. It suggests that internal telomeric repeats can affect the shape of F. pratensis × L. perenne karyotypes. However, other factors that are involved in rearrangements and have a more crucial impact could exist, but they are still unknown. 相似文献

We undertook a field study to determine whether comb cell size affects the reproductive behavior of Varroa destructor under natural conditions. We examined the effect of brood cell width on the reproductive behavior of V. destructor in honey bee colonies, under natural conditions. Drone and worker brood combs were sampled from 11 colonies of Apis mellifera. A Pearson correlation test and a Tukey test were used to determine whether mite reproduction rate varied with brood cell
width. Generalized additive model analysis showed that infestation rate increased positively and linearly with the width of
worker and drone cells. The reproduction rate for viable mother mites was 0.96 viable female descendants per original invading
female. No significant correlation was observed between brood cell width and number of offspring of V. destructor. Infertile mother mites were more frequent in narrower brood cells. 相似文献

We studied heterologous expression of xylanase 11A gene of Chaetomium thermophilum in Pichia pastoris and characterized the thermostable nature of the purified gene product. For this purpose, the xylanase 11A gene of C. thermophilum was cloned in P. pastoris GS115 under the control of AOX1 promoter. The maximum extracellular activity of recombinant xylanase (xyn698: gene with intron) was 15.6 U ml−1 while that of recombinant without intron (xyn669) was 1.26 U ml−1 after 96 h growth. The gene product was purified apparently to homogeneity level. The optimum temperature of pure recombinant
xylanase activity was 70°C and the enzyme retained its 40.57% activity after incubation at 80°C for 10 min. It exhibited quite
lower demand of activation energy, enthalpy, Gibbs free energy, entropy, and xylan binding energy during substrate hydrolysis
than that required by that of the donor, thus indicating its thermostable nature. pH-dependent catalysis showed that it was
quite stable in a pH range of 5.5–8.5. This revealed that gene was successfully processed in P. pastoris and remained heat stable and may qualify for its potential use in paper and pulp and animal feed applications. 相似文献

Root segments from seedlings of Panax ginseng produced adventitious roots directly when cultured on 1/2 MS solid medium lacking NH4NO3 and containing 3.0 mg l−1 IBA. Using this adventitious root formation, we developed rapid and efficient transgenic root formation directly from adventitious
root segments in P. ginseng. Root segments were co-cultivated with Agrobacterium tumefaciens (GV3101) caring β-glucuronidase (GUS) gene. Putative transgenic adventitious roots were formed directly from root segments on medium with 400 mg l−1 cefotaxime and 50 mg l−1 kanamycin. Kanamycin resistant adventitious roots were selected and proliferated as individual lines by subculturing on medium
with 300 mg l−1 cefotaxime and 50 mg l−1 kanamycin at two weeks subculture interval. Frequency of transient and stable expression of GUS gene was enhanced by acetosyringon (50 mg l−1) treatment. Integration of transgene into the plants was confirmed by the X-gluc reaction, PCR and Southern analysis. Production
of transgenic plants was achieved via somatic embryogenesis from the embryogenic callus derived from independent lines of
adventitious roots. The protocol for rapid induction of transgenic adventitious roots directly from adventitious roots can
be applied for a new Agrobacterium tumefaciens-mediated genetic transformation protocol in P. ginseng. 相似文献

Interspecific somatic hybrids between a diploid potato clone DG 81-68 susceptible to Phytophthora infestans (Mont.) de Bary and a resistant diploid tuber-bearing species Solanum × michoacanum were generated and analyzed. About 30 regenerants displaying an intermediate morphology were obtained as a result of three
separate PEG-mediated fusion experiments. The RAPD analysis confirmed the hybridity of all the regenerants. About 50% of the
hybrid plants exhibited vigorous growth and were stable in culture, while the rest of them rooted poorly and grew slowly in
vitro. Most of the hybrid clones were at the tetraploid level (70%), while 30% of the clones examined were at the hexaploid
level. The S. × michoacanum (+) DG 81-68 hybrids with growth anomalies were aneuploid. The variation in late blight resistance of the hybrid clones was
found in detached leaflet tests, with enhanced resistance characteristic for three tetraploid hybrids. 相似文献

Previously, we have described the use of phage display to generate high affinity disulfide bond-linked T cell receptors (TCRs).
The affinities of the mutant TCRs were analysed after refolding of separately expressed α and β chains from Escherichia coli inclusion bodies. This approach is only suitable for the analysis of small numbers of TCR variants. An attractive alternative
would be soluble expression within the bacterial periplasm, but the generic production of TCRs within the E. coli periplasm has so far not proved successful. Here we show that functional, soluble TCR can be produced within the cytoplasm
of trxB gor mutant E. coli strains, with maximum yields of 3.4 mg/l. We also investigated the effect of coexpressing the folding modulators Skp and
DsbC finding that the TCR expression levels were largely unaffected by these chaperones. Importantly, we demonstrated that
the amount of protein purified from 50 ml starter cultures was sufficient to show functionality of the TCR by specific antigen
binding in both ELISA and surface plasmon resonance (SPR) assays. This TCR production method has the potential to allow rapid
and medium throughput analysis of affinity-matured TCRs selected from TCR phage display libraries. 相似文献

Methanolic extracts from calluses and shoots of Aronia arbutifolia and Aronia × prunifolia cultivated in vitro were quantitatively analysed for phenolic acids by DAD-HPLC. The cultures were grown on ten variants of Murashige–Skoog medium variants enriched with various concentrations of growth regulators (GRs), BA and NAA, in the concentration range 0.1–3.0 mg/L. The analysed extracts were confirmed to contain from four to six compounds (depsides—chlorogenic acid, neochlorogenic acid, and rosmarinic acid, and also protocatechuic acid, p-hydroxybenzoic acid, and 3,4-dihydroxyphenylacetic acid). The total amounts of the metabolites varied considerably, depending on the amounts of the GRs in the tested medium variants, and increased in the callus and shoot extracts, respectively, up to 1.7 and 3.2 times (A. arbutifolia), and 2.2 and 2.7 times (A. × prunifolia). Maximum total amounts were confirmed in shoot extracts of both plants (approx. 200 and 600 mg/100 g DW, respectively). The main compounds in A. arbutifolia cultures were the depsides—chlorogenic acid, rosmarinic acid, and neochlorogenic acid (max. 91.94, 77.03, 32.57 mg/100 g DW, respectively). The same depsides dominated quantitatively in the cultures of A. × prunifolia (max. 131.82, 206.62 and 257.39 mg/100 g DW, respectively). 相似文献

A gene encoding endochitinase from Trichoderma virens UKM-1 was cloned and expressed in E. coli BL21 (DE3). Both the endochitinase gene and its cDNA sequences were obtained. The endochitinase gene encodes 430 amino acids
from an open reading frame comprising of 1,690 bp nucleotide sequence with three introns. The endochitinase was expressed
as soluble and active enzyme at 20°C when induced with 1 mM IPTG. Maximum activity was observed at 4 h of post-induction time.
SDS-PAGE showed that the purified endochitinase exhibited a single band with molecular weight of 42 kDa. Biochemical characterization
of the enzyme displayed a near neutral pH characteristic with an optimum pH at 6.0 and optimum temperature at 50°C. The enzyme
is stable between pH 3.0–7.0 and is able to retain its activity from 30 to 60°C. The presence of Mg2+ and Ca2+ ions increased the enzyme activity up to 20%. The purified enzyme has a strong affinity towards colloidal chitin and low
effect on ethyl cellulose and D-cellubiose which are non-chitin related substrates. HPLC analysis from the chitin hydrolysis
showed the release of (GlcNAc)3, (GlcNAc)2 and GlcNAc, in which (GlcNAc)2 was the main product. 相似文献

Complementary attributes of Festuca and Lolium grasses can be combined in hybrid cultivars called Festuloliums, which are becoming increasingly popular fodder crops and
amenity plants. Genomic constitution of commercially available Festuloliums was reported to vary from almost equal representation
of parental genomes to apparent lack of one of them based on molecular cytogenetic analyses and screening with a small set
of DNA markers, both approaches with limited resolution. Here, we describe the use of the DArTFest array comprising 3,884
polymorphic DArT markers for characterization of genomes in five Festulolium cultivars. In any of the cultivars, the minimum
number of informative markers, which discriminated the parental Lolium and Festuca genomes was 361 and 171, respectively. Using the DArTFest array, it was possible to determine hybrid genome constitution
at resolution which has never been achieved before and the analysis of a set of randomly selected plants from each cultivar
provided information on genetic structure of outcrossing Festulolium cultivars. In addition to a core set of markers typical
for each hybrid cultivar, markers occurring at low frequency among the plants within each cultivar were identified. Biological
significance of genomic loci associated with the rare markers is yet to be determined. Finally, with the aim to simplify the
use of DArTFest arrays to characterize Festuca × Lolium hybrids, various bulking strategies were compared. While all bulks were suitable for identification of hybrids, only bulks
of few plants have been found to reveal the rare markers. 相似文献

An efficient regeneration protocol for genetic transformation was developed from the leaves of an 11-year-old Phtinia × fraseri “Red Robin” tree. A high frequency of adventitious buds (88.63 ± 1.38%) and the highest maximum mean number of adventitious
buds per explant (4.65 ± 0.48) were obtained in light conditions on Murashige–Skoog (MS) medium containing 2 mg l−1 benzyladenine (BA) and 0.2 mg l−1 α-Naphthaleneacetic acid (NAA). After preculturing for 6 days, over 95% of the shoots successfully rooted on 1/2 MS medium
supplemented with 0.3 mg l−1 indole-3-butyric acid (IBA) within 3 weeks. For genetic transformation, two crucial parameters (30 mg l−1 kanamycin for selection and 30-min suspension time) were optimized. Taken together, a reliable transformation system with
an efficiency of more than 5% was established. This genetic transformation protocol can be utilized for further genetic manipulation
of the Photinia tree. 相似文献

Scyphozoan medusae are very successful foragers which occasionally occur in high abundances in boreal waters and may impact
many different groups in the marine ecosystem by means of a variety of toxins. A rainbow trout gill cell line, RTgill-W1,
was tested for its suitability as quantitative indicator of the cytotoxicity of Cyanea capillata and Aurelia aurita; the major scyphozoan species in the North and Baltic seas. Cultures of rainbow trout gill cells were exposed to whole venoms
extracted from fishing tentacles and oral arms at increasing protein concentrations. The venom caused detachment, clumping
and lysis of cells, as well as a drop in vitality, in a dose-dependent manner. Morphological changes in the cells were evident
within 1 h after venom addition. The damage to gill cells was quantified by measuring the metabolic activity of the cells
by means of the fluorescence of resorufin derived from the nonfluorescent substrate, resazurin. In general, a decrease in
the metabolic activity of the cells was detected at a venom (protein) concentration above 2.0 μg ml−1 (corresponding to 0.2 μg 104 cells−1), and a total loss of activity was observed above 40.0 μg ml−1 (corresponding to 4.0 μg 104 cells−1). C. capillata venoms had increased cytotoxic activity as compared to A. aurita venoms at the same concentration. Cnidocyst extracts from oral arms of A. aurita induced an 85% loss of gill cell viability at concentrations of 0.2 μg 104 cells−1, whereas crude venoms from fishing tentacles reduced cell viability by 18% at the same concentration. Gel electrophoresis
of the venoms indicated that these consist of a large number of proteins in a fairly wide size range, from 6 to 200 kDa, including
some that are the same size as those found in cubomedusae. It also appears that larger (i.e., older) medusae have more complex
venoms and, in some cases, more potent venoms than smaller animals. 相似文献

Lilium × formolongi was genetically engineered by Agrobacterium-mediated transformation with the plasmid pCrtZW-N8idi-crtEBIY, which contains seven enzyme genes under the regulation of
the CaMV 35S promoter. In the transformants, ketocarotenoids were detected in both calli and leaves, which showed a strong
orange color. In transgenic calli, the total amount of carotenoids [133.3 μg/g fresh weight (FW)] was 26.1-fold higher than
in wild-type calli. The chlorophyll content and photosynthetic efficiency in transgenic orange plantlets were significantly
lowered; however, after several months of subculture, they had turned into plantlets with green leaves that showed significant
increases in chlorophyll and photosynthetic efficiency. The total carotenoid contents in leaves of transgenic orange and green
plantlets were quantified at 102.9 and 135.2 μg/g FW, respectively, corresponding to 5.6- and 7.4-fold increases over the
levels in the wild-type. Ketocarotenoids such as echinenone, canthaxanthin, 3′-hydroxyechinenone, 3-hydroxyechinenone, and
astaxanthin were detected in both transgenic calli and orange leaves. A significant change in the type and composition of
ketocarotenoids was observed during the transition from orange transgenic plantlets to green plantlets. Although 3′-hydroxyechinenone,
3-hydroxyechinenone, astaxanthin, and adonirubin were absent, and echinenone and canthaxanthin were present at lower levels,
interestingly, the upregulation of carotenoid biosynthesis led to an increase in the total carotenoid concentration (+31.4%)
in leaves of the transgenic green plantlets. 相似文献
