壳寡糖对不结球白菜子叶离体培养再生体系的影响

以不结球白菜（Brassica campestris L．ssp．chinensis Makino）子叶为外植体,考察壳寡糖对不结球白菜子叶离体培养再生体系的影响。在添加外源激素6．BA和NAA的条件下,比较了不同浓度（0．5、1．0、2．0和10．0mg·L^-1）壳寡糖对不结球白菜子叶形成愈伤组织、再生芽和再生不定根的影响。实验结果表明,低浓度的壳寡糖能促进子叶形成愈伤组织、再生芽。壳寡糖促进子叶形成愈伤组织和再生芽的最适浓度为0．5mg·L^-1,与其他浓度壳寡糖处理组相比,该浓度壳寡糖促进了子叶愈伤组织的形成,使出愈率达到92％。此外,该浓度壳寡糖能提高子叶的芽再生频率,使再生率达到80％,同时再生芽长度、叶绿素含量及外植体总鲜重达到最大,均显著高于对照组。然而,壳寡糖对再生芽生根有抑制作用,形成的不定根数目、平均根长和最长根长度均小于对照组。

以易出胚大白菜‘09C3’为材料,克隆到7个小孢子胚胎发生相关候选基因的cDNA核心片段,并采用半定量RT-PCR方法研究了这些基因在游离小孢子热激处理和培养期间的表达。结果表明,获得的7个基因的核心片段长度在213bp和417bp之间,克隆号分别为C31、C33、99H6、99H8、EV14、EX01和C35。NCBI进行Blastn和Blastx分析结果显示,这些片段与源基因HSP70、BcHSP、Lec2、Fus3、PAP14、HSP17.6和HSP18.2的同源性均超过80%。半定量RT-PCR结果表明,HSP70和Lec2在热激24h后上调表达,而常温培养下24h后没有变化;BcHSP、HSP18.2、Fus3和HSP17.6在热激24h后和常温下24h都上调表达;PAP14在热激24h后和常温下24h表达下调。     

Isolation and Characterization of a Novel Chitosan-Binding Protein from Non-Heading Chinese Cabbage Leaves

To know the mechanism of ammonia assimilation in non-heading Chinese cabbage (Brassica campestris L. ssp. chinensis (L.) Makino) leaves regulated by chitosan (CTS), a CTS-binding protein was isolated from non-heading Chinese cabbage leaves using the chitosan affinity chromatography approach and this CTS-binding protein was partially characterized. The profile of the 53.1 kDa purified protein on sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis was compared with the native molecular weight of 106.5 kDa, which indicated that the purified protein was a dimer with identical subunits. After isoelectric focusing, a band was obtained at pH 8.25. The agglutination test and periodic acid-Schiff staining further revealed that the protein was a glycoprotein with lectin activity. Moreover, the purified protein contained 17.4 % (w/w) neutral carbohydrate and 82.56% (w/w) protein. The comparison of this protein and the 67 kDa CTS-binding protein isolated previously from Rubus culture tissue exhibited some differences in characterization. According to results of peptide mass fingerprinting analysis, the protein purified in the present study does not show any similarity with any protein in the protein data bank. Thus, it was deduced that the protein purified in the present study is a novel CTS-binding protein.

以秋水仙素人工诱变获得的不结球白菜同源四倍体Pol CMS及其保持系为材料,采用石蜡切片法研究其花药发育过程.结果显示:四倍体Pol CMS与保持系花药发育差异明显,不育系花药发育受阻于孢原细胞分化期,不形成药室,属无花粉囊型.极少数温敏型花药能产生1~2个花粉囊,但四分体时期绒毡层提早退化,导致成熟小孢子数目减少.四倍体保持系花药发育过程与二倍体基本一致,同一时期的可育小孢子四倍体比二倍体大,二倍体花粉粒都为3个萌发孔,而四倍体多为4个萌发孔.四倍体保持系同一花粉囊中花粉粒发育有不同步现象,花粉粒败育频率比二倍体高.研究表明,不结球白菜同源四倍体Pol CMS比其二倍体Pol CMS不育更彻底,更具应用性.

不结球白菜金属硫蛋白基因的克隆及表达分析

通过RACE技术,从不结球白菜抗病品种‘苏州青’叶片克隆到金属硫蛋白(metallothionein)基因的全长cDNA序列(BcMT2)。序列分析结果表明,BcMT2基因的cDNA全长为528 bp,其中开放阅读框长度为243 bp,共编码80个氨基酸,相对分子质量为8.02×10³ Da,理论等电点是4.61。氨基酸同源系统进化分析表明,不结球白菜BcMT2基因属于Ⅱ类植物MT2基因家族,且与同科植物的进化关系相近,其中与大白菜第5号染色体的基因(Bra029765)相似性最高(100%)。qRT PCR分析表明,BcMT2基因在不结球白菜叶中表达最强;霜霉病菌诱导后,BcMT2基因在抗病品种‘苏州青’中的表达量于48 h达到峰值,而在感病品种‘矮脚黄’中的表达量于72 h达到峰值;盐处理条件下,BcMT2基因在抗病品种‘苏州青’中的表达量于12 h达到峰值,而在感病品种‘矮脚黄’中的表达量于24 h达到峰值;ABA处理下,‘苏州青’中其表达量于24 h达到峰值,且在‘矮脚黄’中BcMT2基因的表达趋势与‘苏州青’类似;干旱处理条件下BcMT2基因的表达在两材料中均受到抑制。BcMT2原核表达分析发现,在37 ℃、1.0 mmol·L^-1IPTG诱导2、4 、6 h后,均检测到了一条蛋白分子质量约为8×10³ Da的表达特异条带,这与预期融合蛋白的相对分子质量的理论值8.02×10³ Da相符。研究表明,不结球白菜BcMT2基因在受到生物胁迫和非生物胁迫等逆境条件下均发挥着重要作用,且BcMT2在大肠杆菌中成功实现融合表达,为进一步进行蛋白水平和转基因功能研究奠定了基础,也为选育高产、优质的不结球白菜新品种提供重要的理论依据。

Sequencing and Analysis of Approximately 40 000 Soybean cDNA Clones from a Full-Length-Enriched cDNA Library

A large collection of full-length cDNAs is essential for the correct annotation of genomic sequences and for the functional analysis of genes and their products. We obtained a total of 39 936 soybean cDNA clones (GMFL01 and GMFL02 clone sets) in a full-length-enriched cDNA library which was constructed from soybean plants that were grown under various developmental and environmental conditions. Sequencing from 5′ and 3′ ends of the clones generated 68 661 expressed sequence tags (ESTs). The EST sequences were clustered into 22 674 scaffolds involving 2580 full-length sequences. In addition, we sequenced 4712 full-length cDNAs. After removing overlaps, we obtained 6570 new full-length sequences of soybean cDNAs so far. Our data indicated that 87.7% of the soybean cDNA clones contain complete coding sequences in addition to 5′- and 3′-untranslated regions. All of the obtained data confirmed that our collection of soybean full-length cDNAs covers a wide variety of genes. Comparative analysis between the derived sequences from soybean and Arabidopsis, rice or other legumes data revealed that some specific genes were involved in our collection and a large part of them could be annotated to unknown functions. A large set of soybean full-length cDNA clones reported in this study will serve as a useful resource for gene discovery from soybean and will also aid a precise annotation of the soybean genome.Key words: EST, full-length cDNA, functional annotation, legume, soybean

Differential Gene Expression and Characterization of Tissue-specific cDNA Clones in Oil Palm using mRNA Differential Display

The mRNA differential display method was utilized to study the differential expression and regulation of genes in two species of oil palm, the commercially grown variety Elaeis guineensis, var. tenera and the South American species, Elaeis oleifera. We demonstrated the differential expression of genes in the mesocarp and kernel at the week of active oil synthesis (15 week after anthesis) during fruit development as compare to the roots and leaves and the isolation of tissue-specific and species-specific cDNA clones. A total of eight specific cDNA clones were isolated and their specificities were confirmed by Northern hybridization and classified into three groups. Group one contains four clones (KT3, KT4, KT5 and KT6) that are kernel-specific for E. guineensis, tenera and E. oleifera. The second group represents clone FST1, which is mesocarp and kernel-specific for E. guineensis, tenera and E. oleifera. The third group represents clones MLT1, MLT2 and MLO1 that are mesocarp and leaf-specific. Northern analysis showed that their expressions were developmentally regulated. Nucleotide sequencing and homology search in GenBank data revealed that clones KT3 and KT4 encode for the same maturation protein PM3. While clones MLT1 and MLT2 encode for S-ribonuclease binding protein and fibrillin, respectively. The other clones (KT5, KT6, FST1 and MLO1) did not display any significant homology to any known protein.

不结球白菜杂种优势及相关分析

以4个不结球白菜不育系与4个父本系以NCⅡ法配制16个杂交组合,研究了16个F1组合的杂种优势表现及其与亲本之间的相关关系,同时对性状间的遗传相关进行分析.结果表明:不结球白菜产量性状杂种优势＞农艺性状杂种优势＞光合性状杂种优势＞品质性状杂种优势.产量性状以超亲优势为主,农艺性状和光合性状以中亲优势为主,品质性状中可溶性糖含量以中亲优势为主, Vc含量和蛋白质含量均为弱的负向优势.亲子相关分析表明,一些性状F1与中亲值、低亲值或高亲值显著相关,因此在亲本选配时,注意亲本差异的同时,中亲值特别是低亲值不能过低,尤其是品质性状.性状间相关分析显示,光合性状与产量性状显著正相关,说明F1高效的光合同化作用是杂种高产的基础.品质性状中,可溶性糖含量与产量显著正相关,但Vc和蛋白质含量与产量负相关,在亲本选配时还应注意二者的协调.
