提高疣粒野生稻愈伤组织分化能力的研究

通过低温处理、更换培养基凝固剂以及液固交替培养的方式,成功地保持了疣粒野生稻愈伤组织的胚性,提高了绿苗分化率。结果表明：低温处理12天的愈伤组织绿苗分化率最高;用琼脂糖代替琼脂作为培养基凝固剂,能在较大程度上提高愈伤组织绿苗分化率;通过液固交替培养的方式保持了悬浮系的分化潜能,在悬浮培养18个月后,绿苗分化率仍达到41.6％,而持续悬浮培养12个月的愈伤组织全部丧失分化能力。酯酶同工酶分析表明：部分酶带的丢失与愈伤组织分化能力的丧失有关。

Purification and characterization of a XIP-type endoxylanase inhibitor from Rice (Oryza sativa)

A rice XIP-type inhibitor was purified by affinity chromatography with an immobilized Aspergillus aculeatus family 10 endoxylanase. Rice XIP is a monomeric protein, with a molecular mass of ca. 32?kDa and a pI of ca. 5.6. Its N-terminal amino acid sequence was identical to that of a rice chitinase homologue, demonstrating the difficulty when using sequence information to differentiate between endoxylanase inhibitors and (putative) chitinases in rice. Rice XIP inhibited different endoxylanases to a varying degree. In particular, it most strongly inhibited family 10 endoxylanases from A. niger and A. oryzae, while several family 11 enzymes from Bacillus subtilis, A. niger and Trichoderma sp. were not sensitive to inhibition. The above mentioned A. aculeatus endoxylanase was not inhibited either, although gel permeation chromatography revealed that it complexed rice XIP in a 1:1 molar stoichiometric ratio.     

Photothermal Responses of Flowering in Rice (Oryza sativa)

Durations from sowing to panicle emergence in 16 diverse genotypesof rice (Oryza sativa L.) were recorded in 13 different photothermalregimes, comprising constant and diurnally alternating temperaturesbetween 16 and 32 °C and photoperiods between 10.5 and 15.0h d^–1—all provided by controlled-environment growthcabinets. In 11.5 h days and at sub-optimal temperatures, relationsbetween the rate of progress towards panicle emergence and meantemperature were linear in all genotypes, and amongst thesethe base temperature at that photoperiod varied between 6.6and 11.9 °C. In most cases progress was most rapid at 24–26°C, i.e. the optimum temperature was much cooler than expectedfrom previously published values of times to panicle emergencein a less extensive range of photothermal regimes. Only in threecultivars was it warmer than 28 °C, and in these there weresufficient data to establish that relations between rates ofprogress to panicle emergence and photoperiod in the diurnallyalternating temperature regime of 28–20 °C are alsolinear. Also, the responses of these three cultivars provideno evidence of any interaction between the effects of photoperiodand temperature. We conclude, then, that the model in whichrate of development is a linear function of both temperatureand photoperiod with no interaction, which has been shown tobe common to many other species, also applies to rice. Differencesamong genotypes in relative sensitivity of rate of progresstowards panicle emergence to both temperature and to photoperiodwere considerable; japonica cultivars tended to be more sensitiveto temperature and less sensitive to photoperiod than indicacultivars. Four indica cultivars bred and selected at The InternationalRice Research Institute (IRRI) in the Philippines did not differ(P > 0.10) in their relations between rate of progress towardspanicle emergence and sub-optimal temperatures in a daylengthof 11.5 h, but the optimum temperature for cv. IR 36 was appreciablywarmer than that for the cvs IR 5, IR 8 and IR 42. Oryza sativa, rice, flowering, temperature, photoperiod, photothermal responses

Robustness and Strategies of Adaptation among Farmer Varieties of African Rice (Oryza glaberrima) and Asian Rice (Oryza sativa) across West Africa

This study offers evidence of the robustness of farmer rice varieties (Oryza glaberrima and O. sativa) in West Africa. Our experiments in five West African countries showed that farmer varieties were tolerant of sub-optimal conditions, but employed a range of strategies to cope with stress. Varieties belonging to the species Oryza glaberrima – solely the product of farmer agency – were the most successful in adapting to a range of adverse conditions. Some of the farmer selections from within the indica and japonica subspecies of O. sativa also performed well in a range of conditions, but other farmer selections from within these two subspecies were mainly limited to more specific niches. The results contradict the rather common belief that farmer varieties are only of local value. Farmer varieties should be considered by breeding programmes and used (alongside improved varieties) in dissemination projects for rural food security.     

水稻原生质体培养及植株再生的研究

由粳稻77-170品系及籼稻品种IR-50的细胞悬浮培养物游离的原生质体,用琼脂糖包埋于RY-2培养基中,发生了持续分裂。前者植板率达2.5％以上,二者最后都再生出植株。对游离和培养方法做了如下改进:1)采用两步法,即先用果胶酶,再用果胶酶和纤维素酶的混合酶进行游离,可避免原生质体发生融合并获得高质量的原生质体;2)悬浮细胞培养基中加入ABA有利于原生质体的存活和分裂;3)琼脂糖包埋培养可大大提高植板率;4)用较高渗透压的培养基培养原生质体再生的细胞团及愈伤组织,可提高植株再生频率。由于这两个品种(系)的培养物都已继代一年半之久,再生植株均为白化苗。这是迄今第一个由籼稻原生质体再生植株的报道。     

Coleoptile Senescence in Rice (Oryza sativa L.)

We investigated the cellular events associated with cell deathin the coleoptile of rice plants (Oryza sativa L.). Seeds germinatedunder submergence produced coleoptiles that were more elongatedthan those grown under aerobic conditions. Transfer of seedlingsto aerobic conditions was associated with coleoptile opening(i.e. splitting) due to death of specific cells in the sideof the organ. Another type of cell death occurred in the formationof lysigenous aerenchyma. Senescence of the coleoptile was alsonoted, during which discolouration of the chlorophyll and tissuebrowning were apparent. DNA fragmentation was observed by deoxynucleotidyltransferase-mediateddUTP nick end labelling (TUNEL) assay, and further confirmedby the appearance of oligonucleosomal DNA ladders in senescentcoleoptile cells. Two nucleases (Nuc-a and Nuc-b) were detectedby in-gel-assay from proteins isolated from coleoptiles. Nuc-a,commonly observed in three cell death phases required eitherCa²⁺or Mg²⁺, whereas Nuc-b which appeared during senescencerequired both Ca²⁺and Mg²⁺. Both nucleases were strongly inhibitedby Zn²⁺.

考察粳稻品种‘沈农265’和‘丽江新团黑谷’为亲本的F23,群体及双亲的米粒延伸率相关性状,并用该群体的分子连锁图谱进行QTL分析,共检测到8个与稻米延伸性有关的QTL,包括1个米粒型QTL、1个饭粒型QTL、2个延伸率QTL、3个膨胀率QTL和1个延伸指数QTL,分别位于第1、2、6和11染色体,单个QTL对性状表型贡献率在15．4％-37．5％之间。与其他研究结果比较表明,主效QTL在不同群体和不同环境中的重演性较好,这些QTL受水稻籼粳分化这一演化过程的影响较小。     

Comparison of Rice (Oryza sativa L.) Seed Proteins from Several Varieties

Enzymatically modified proteins (EMP) with different methionine levels were produced from soy protein isolate using an improved plastein reaction. The products having methionine at approximate levels of 4%, 7%, and 14%, designated as EMP₄, EMP₇, and EMP₁₄, respectively, were investigated to characterize their chemical properties particularly in terms of the state and location of the methionine residues. Leucine aminopeptidase treatment of the EMP products did not find any significant amount of methionine residues at the N-terminals, but carboxypeptidase A treatment liberated methionine efficiently in accordance with the methionine levels in the EMP products. Treatment with LiBH₄ reduced the methionine content of EMP₁₄ by approximately 64%. A significant amount of homoserine was produced when EMP₁₄ was treated with BrCN. All these data indicate that the covalently attached methionine molecules are localized at or near the C-terminals of the EMP molecules, probably as oligomers.

Rice (Oryza sativa) as a Remediation Tool for Nutrient Runoff

Hypereutrophication of U.S. surface waters is one of the leading causes of impairment for water quality. With nutrient criteria development and total maximum daily load (TMDL) issues looming for regulators, agricultural research is focusing on practices aimed at decreasing nutrient contributions to receiving aquatic ecosystems. This study examined the use of rice (Oryza sativa) for luxury uptake of nitrogen and phosphorus components associated with agricultural storm runoff. Mesocosms (379 L) planted with rice were exposed to two concentrations (5 and 10 mg/L) of nitrate, ammonia, and orthophosphorus. Results from these mesocosms were compared to unvegetated controls (also amended with 5 or 10 mg/L nitrate, ammonia, and orthophosphorus) to determine efficiency of rice in remediating nutrient runoff. Statistically significant differences in ammonia and nitrate retention of vegetated mesocosms amended with 5 mg/L versus vegetated mesocosms amended with 10 mg/L were noted after the first exposure. Although rice is a nutrient-dependent aquatic plant, this study suggests that more efficient mitigation is possible at lower inflow concentrations as opposed to higher inflow concentrations.
