影响根癌农杆菌附着禾谷类作物培养细胞的因素

本研究利用水稻、小麦、玉米等主要禾谷类作物悬浮培养细胞,观察农杆菌对禾谷类作物培养细胞的附着,实验结果表明:植物细胞的生理状态和分化发育进程对农杆菌的附着有明显的影响;通过对农杆菌的Vir 区基因进行预活化诱导处理,能显著提高其在禾谷类作物培养细胞上的附着,胭脂碱型农杆菌C 58 C 1(pMP 90+pBI 121)预处理后增加附着的效果较章鱼碱型农杆菌LBA 4404(pAL 4404+pBI121)更显著些。此外,在改善共培养环境条件下(如添加对农杆菌表现强烈趋化性的精氨酸和施行抽气减压处理),农杆菌能大量附着在经过果胶酶预处理的禾谷类作物悬浮培奍细胞上。     

影响根癌农杆菌转化的因素及其在单子叶作物上的应用

在植物转基因方法中,根癌农杆菌介导的遗传转化应用最为广泛,进一步提高其转化频率并扩大其宿主范围到禾谷类作物是人们所关注的问题。有多种因素影响根癌农杆菌的转化频率,包括植物的受伤反应、细菌的吸附、致病基因的诱导、植物细胞ＤＮＡ合成及修复的活力、外植体的状态等。最近的研究结果证明在适宜的条件下,根癌农杆菌还是可以有效地转化禾谷类作物。本文试就这两方面的研究进展作一论述。

农杆菌GV3101中反式玉米素合成基因促进烟草再生北大核心CSCD

胭脂碱型农杆菌GV3101已经被广泛用于植物遗传转化研究。已有的研究结果证明,农杆菌GV3101株系含有的反式玉米素合成(trans-zeatin synthesizing,tzs)基因编码产物会影响烟草细胞器的形态及细胞的生理状态。然而,有关tzs基因对遗传转化过程外植体再生的影响研究却少有报道。本文在前期研究工作的基础上,以2种烟草、4个农杆菌株系为组培实验材料,验证了胭脂碱型农杆菌tzs基因产物的生理活性。结果表明:以外源添加生长调节物质的外植体为阳性对照,在不添加任何生长调节剂的培养基上,与GV3101菌株共培养的烟草外植体能分化再生,并发育成完整植株;外植体再生与GV3101携带的质粒种类无关;外植体与农杆菌GV3101培养液共培养24 h,烟草再生效果较好;与GV3101株系共培养24 h,将外植体烟草叶片匀浆,经亲和柱分离纯化后,检测出烟草外植体叶片中高达0.78 ng/g FW-1的反式玉米素含量。菌落PCR扩增结果证实,农杆菌GV3101株系有tzs基因序列。以上结果表明,农杆菌GV3101株系内的tzs基因的表达产物有生理学活性,能够促进烟草外植体再生,调节细胞生长。

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.

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.
