壳寡糖对烟草悬浮细胞茉莉酸合成基因转录的影响

采用RT-PCR方法研究了不同浓度壳寡糖对烟草悬浮细胞茉莉酸合成酶基因的转录调控。结果表明, 50 μg.mL-1壳寡糖能够明显诱导烟草悬浮细胞茉莉酸合成途径的关键酶——磷脂酶A2、13-脂氧合酶、丙二烯氧化物合成酶、丙二烯氧化物环化酶和12-氧-植物二烯酸还原酶基因的表达, 而且该浓度的壳寡糖对这些基因的诱导作用相同(似)。在实验设定时间内均诱导表达编码磷脂酶A2的基因, 对其它基因的诱导时间均为8小时, 表明50 μg.mL-1壳寡糖在诱抗过程中启动了茉莉酸合成途径。而200 μg.mL-1壳寡糖的处理对这些基因的表达无显著影响。表明不同浓度的壳寡糖对烟草悬浮细胞的作用模式存在差异, 且高浓度的壳寡糖在烟草悬浮细胞中启动的信号通路可能没有茉莉酸信号的参与。

内生真菌Colletotrichum sp. B501的寡糖提取物对黄花蒿发根中青蒿素生物合成的诱导

在黄花蒿(Artemisia annua L.)发根液体培养中,黄花蒿内生炭疽菌(Colletotrichum sp. B501)细胞壁寡糖提取物可促进发根青蒿素的合成.经寡糖诱导子(20 mg/L)处理4 d后,发根青蒿素含量达1.15 mg/g, 比对照高出64.29%.诱导作用与诱导子浓度、作用时间相关.诱导处理1 d后,X射线能谱分析表明黄花蒿发根细胞中Ca2+积累量显著增高,电镜观察发现液泡内出现高电子致密物,具活性氧清除作用的过氧化物酶表现出高活性(6.5 unit*min-1*g-1 FW).诱导处理第三天,细胞核DNA呈梯度条带降解,部分细胞出现程序化死亡.内生菌细胞壁寡糖提取物引起的生理反应有利于细胞中青蒿素的生物合成.     

壳寡糖诱导烟草对TMV长距离移动的影响

采用ELISA-DSM法和半叶枯斑法,测定了壳寡糖(50μg/mL)诱导后普通烟(Nicotiana tabacum)植株体内TMV浓度的变化.ELISA-DSM测定显示,在接种后10 d,仅在接种叶的上位叶和新生叶片中检测到病毒,且病毒浓度仅为不诱导对照的52.7%和38.8%,在下位叶中未检测到病毒;同时,接种叶内病毒增殖严重受抑,接种后10 d,病毒浓度仅为不诱导对照的23.52%.半叶枯斑法检测获得了相同结果,以壳寡糖处理植株的不同叶位的叶片为毒源,产生的枯斑数目都大幅度低于不诱导对照.以上结果证明,壳寡糖处理后TMV的上行和下行长距离移动均明显延迟和减少,下行移动受到的影响更大.透射电镜检查发现,处理植株接种叶的下位叶片韧皮部细胞中没有病毒晶体和病毒粒子,在上位叶片筛管伴胞中仅见少量病毒粒子,两者都未发现任何诱导新生物,也未见其他细胞结构变化.结果表明,壳寡糖处理使烟草对TMV病毒侵染产生了诱导抗病性,系统侵染症状明显减弱;壳寡糖处理对病毒长距离移动的不利影响可能是接种叶片病毒增殖减少所造成的.     

壳寡糖诱导植物防御反应中一氧化氮信号的研究

壳寡糖可以增强植物对病虫害的防御能力,为了深入研究壳寡糖的作用机理,首次运用荧光酶标仪及一氧化氮(Nitric oxide,NO)荧光探针Diaminofluorescein diacetate (DAF-2DA)对壳寡糖诱导的NO信号进行研究。研究发现,不同浓度的壳寡糖均可诱导烟草悬浮细胞产生NO;NO的清除剂Carboxy-PTIO potassium salt(cPTIO)和一氧化氮合酶(Nitric oxide synthase,NOS)抑制剂N^ω-nitro-L-arginine methyl Ester(L-NAME)可以明显抑制NO的产生;硝酸还原酶(Nitrate reductase, NR)的抑制剂叠氮化钠和钨酸钠对NO的产生无影响;Ca²⁺流相关抑制剂氯化镧和钌红均可抑制NO的产生。NO和Ca²⁺流的相关抑制剂可明显抑制壳寡糖诱导的抗性相关基因的表达。结果显示:壳寡糖主要通过NOS酶催化合成NO,且NO参与调节壳寡糖诱导的抗性相关基因的表达,在此过程中,Ca²⁺可以调节NO的合成。

Recent advances in the study of Kaposi's sarcoma-associated herpesvirus replication and pathogenesis

It has now been over twenty years since a novel herpesviral genome was identified in Kaposi's sarcoma biopsies. Since then, the cumulative research effort by molecular biologists, virologists, clinicians, and epidemiologists alike has led to the extensive characterization of this tumor virus, Kaposi's sarcoma-associated herpesvirus(KSHV; also known as human herpesvirus 8(HHV-8)), and its associated diseases. Here we review the current knowledge of KSHV biology and pathogenesis, with a particular emphasis on new and exciting advances in the field of epigenetics. We also discuss the development and practicality of various cell culture and animal model systems to study KSHV replication and pathogenesis.     

The structure, reproduction and taxonomy of Vidalia and Osmundaria (Rhodophyta, Rhodomelaceae)

Comprises species occurring mostly in subtidal habitats in tropical, subtropical and warm-temperate areas of the world. An analysis of the type species, V. spiralis (Sonder) Lamouroux ex J. Agardh, a species from Australia, establishes basic characters for distinguishing species in the genus. These characters are (1) branching patterns of thalli, (2) flat blades that may be spiralled on their axis, (3) width of the blade, (4) primary or secondary derivation of sterile and fertile branchlets and (5) position of sterile and fertile branchlets on the thalli. Application of the latter two characters provides an important basic method for separation of species into three major groups. Osmundaria , a genus known only in southern Australia, was studied in relation to Vidalia , and its separation from the Vidalia assemblage is not accepted. Species of Vidalia therefore are transferred to the older genus name, Osmundaria. Two new species, Osmundaria papenfussii and Osmundaria oliveae are described from Natal. Confusion in the usage of the epithet, Vidalia fimbriala Brown ex Turner has been clarified, and Vidalia gregaria Falkenberg, described as an epiphyte on Osmundaria pro/ifera Lamouroux, is revealed to be young branches of the host, Osmundaria prolifera.     

New or rare chromosome counts in Artemisia L. (Asteraceae, Anthemideae) and related genera from Kazakhstan

Fifteen chromosome counts of six Artemisia taxa and one species of each of the genera Brachanthemum, Hippolytia, Kaschgaria, Lepidolopsis and Turaniphytum are reported from Kazakhstan. Three of them are new reports, two are not consistent with previous counts and the remainder are confirmations of very scarce (one to four) earlier records. All the populations studied have the same basic chromosome number, x = 9, with ploidy levels ranging from 2x to 6x. Some correlations between ploidy level, morphological characters and distribution are noted.

采用原位分子杂交方法检测HCV RNA及HBV X基因;采用免疫组织化学方法研究HCV核心抗原,非结构区C33c抗原及HBxAg在肝细胞肝癌中的定位及分布.结果表明(1)HCV RNA、HBV X基因在肝细胞肝癌组织检出率分别为40%(55/136)和82%(112/136).HCV RNA定位于癌细胞的胞浆内,阳性细胞呈散在、灶状及弥漫分布三种形式;HBV X基因在肝癌细胞中的分布呈胞浆型、核型及核浆型,阳性细胞也呈上述三种分布形式;(2)HCV C33c抗原、核心抗原在肝细胞肝癌中的阳性率为81%(133/164)及86%(141/164).C33c抗原定位于癌细胞及肝细胞的胞浆内;核心抗原既定位于癌细胞核中,又可定位于胞浆中.C33c抗原阳性细胞以灶状分布为主;而核心抗原阳性细     

Selection with two alleles and complete dominance

For a plant selection model with frequency-independent viabilities, fertilities and selfing rates, it is shown that apart from global fixation, for certain parameter combinations a protected polymorphism and facultative fixation (either allele may become fixed according to initial frequencies) may both occur. Facultative fixation requires different selling rates for the dominant and recessive type. Protection of the polymorphism requires resource allocation for male and female function. In this connection the problem of purely genetically caused population extinction is discussed.
For general frequency dependence and regular segregation, the chances for establishment of a completely recessive gene are compared to those of a completely dominant gene. It is proven that the process of establishment of the recessive gene, despite a fitness advantage, may be considerably endangered by drift effects if random mating prevails. The recessive gene may reach the same effectivity in establishment as a dominant gene, only if the recessive homozygote mates exclusively with its own type during the period of establishment.
