Plantlet regeneration from mature zygotic embryos and embryonic explants of masson pine （Pinus massoniana Lamb.）

Excised zygotic embryos,cotyledons and hypocotyls of juvenile seedlings of masson pine were grown on DCR medium supplemented with several concentrations of various plant phytohormones.BA(1.0mg/L) in combination with NAA(0.05mg/L) in DCR medium was found to increase the formation of adventitious buds from mature zygotic embryos,but most of them were formed at the tips of embryonic cotyledons.Adventitious buds were obtained from cotyledons and hypocotyls from juvenile seedlings when they were cultured on DCR medium containing BA 3-5 mg/L and NAA 0.1-0.2 mg/L.Elongation of buds were observed on hormone-free DCR medium with or without activated charcoal(0.5%).Root initiation was achieved with full or half strength DCR medium supplemented with IBA 1.0 mg/L and NAA 0.25-0.5 mg/L.Approximately 11-20 axillary buds formed on each explant when juvenile seedling explants were treated(3-20h) with BA 50-100 mg/L,followed by transfer to hormone-free DCR medium.The maximum number of shoots obtained per explant within six months was 33.     

Direct organogenesis and plantlet regeneration from mature zygotic embryos of masson pine (Pinus massoniana L.)

Mature zygotic embryos of masson pine were cultured as initial explants to investigate the process of direct organogenesis. Adventitious buds were initiated on DCR medium (Douglas-fir cotyledon revised medium) supplemented with 0.5 mg l⁻¹ N⁶-benzyladenine (BA) and 0.05 mg l⁻¹ indolebutyric acid (IBA) or α-naphthaleneacetic acid (NAA). The highest induction frequency of adventitious buds was 99.3%. Subsequent transfer of buds to medium with lower concentrations of plant growth regulators in time was necessary for differentation of high quality adventitious buds. After culturing on elongating medium, in which the proportion of cytokinins to auxins was reduced, shoots higher than 2 cm were transferred for root induction to GD medium with half of the concentration of macro-salts (½ GD) and with 2 mg l⁻¹ IBA and 0.05 mg l⁻¹ BA. The average root frequency was over 70%. After adventitious roots had appeared, the shoots were transferred to ½ GD medium with a lower concentration of IBA (0.2 mg l⁻¹) for further root development.     

投加石灰石和菱镁矿对酸化土壤上马尾松(Pinus massoniana)林的影响

为了确定酸化森林生态系统的修复效果,在重庆铁山坪的马尾松林内设立了6个10m×10m的样地,其中2个作为对照样地,另外4个分别在土壤表面施撒石灰石和菱镁矿粉末,各有2个重复。在处理前和处理1a后的生长季末各进行了一次植被观测,协方差分析和多重比较的结果显示投加修复剂对马尾松生长的影响已经初步显现,马尾松的胸径增量和针叶平均长度都有显著的增加,而针叶中Ca、Mg元素含量也表现出显著的差别。另外,立木更新的变化、细根生物量的增加和物种多度的变化也较明显,总体来说生态系统有恢复的趋势。土壤上层细根的增加较快,这与在土壤表面施撒修复剂,上层土壤的化学变化较显著是一致的。而两种修复剂对生态系统的影响也表现出明显的差异,相对而言,施撒菱镁矿的效果可能会更好。由于土壤修复的效果是长期的,其影响观测还将继续下去。     

Characterization of masson pine (Pinus massoniana Lamb.) microsatellite DNA by 454 genome shotgun sequencing

Microsatellites (simple sequence repeats, SSRs) are important genetic markers in tree breeding and conservation. Here we utilized high-throughput 454 sequencing technology to mine microsatellites from masson pine (MP) genomic DNA. First, we analyzed the characteristics of SSRs in all nonredundant MP reads (genome survey sequences, GSSs) and compared them with loblolly pine (LP) GSSs and BACs (bacterial artificial chromosome clone sequences), and three other nonconiferous species GSSs. Second, a set of MP GSS–SSR primer pairs were designed. There were extremely low overall GSS–SSR densities (28 SSR/Mb) in MP when compared with LP (48 SSR/Mb) and the other species. AT, AAT, AAAT, and AAAAAT were the richest motifs in di-, tri-, tetra-, and hexanucleotides, respectively. Two hundred forty GSS–SSR primer pairs were designed in total, and 20 novel polymorphic markers were identified using three populations (two natural and one clonal seed orchard) as evaluating samples. These markers should be useful for future MP population genetics studies.

为了寻找重要指标, 从而研究松突圆蚧Hemiberlesia pitysophila Takagi对不同马尾松Pinus massoniana品系的危害程度, 揭示昆虫数量指标所反映的直接和间接危害程度。选取一块林场试验地, 通过虫口密度等6个指标进行调查, 采用单向通径分析法分析。结果表明：直接影响最大正向指标为虫口密度和有虫针束率, 间接影响最大负向指标为有虫针束率。综合起来, 反映危害程度加大的重要指标依次为：虫口密度、有虫株率、定殖虫口数量、1龄若虫存活率、2龄若虫存活率、有虫针束率。28个马尾松品系可分为4类, 其中最受危害的是390和439, 危害最小的是469和458。分析结果之间基本一致, 与实际基本相符。因此, 本文结果对选取考察指标及其抗虫品系的选育提供了重要的参考价值。单向通径分析法在理论上有一定的合理性和创新性, 在实际上是可行的, 值得研究和推广。     

植物LTR类反转录转座子序列分析识别方法

LTR类反转录转座子(Long terminal repeat retrotransponson)是真核生物中的一类重要转座元件,具有分布广泛、异质性高等特点,在真核生物基因组进化中起着重要作用,现广泛应用于植物的基因功能分析和遗传多样性研究等方面。LTR类反转录转座子的序列识别是其应用的前提条件,因此对LTR类反转录转座子的序列鉴定和分析方法的研究具有重要的理论意义和实际应用价值。LTR类反转录转座子序列的生物信息学分析软件按原理可大致分为序列比对分析和相关序列保守区域识别鉴定两类。比对软件如BLAST、DNAstar等,是一种序列相似性搜索程序,通过与已知的反转录转座子序列比对后的序列相似性来判断未知序列是否是反转录转座子序列,但这类软件不能直接获得具体的LTR等特征序列的相关信息,不能对反转录转座子序列的全长进行识别。识别鉴定软件按原理可分为从头算起法、比较基因组法、同源搜索法和结构基础法4种,如LTR-Finder等基于从头算起法的识别鉴定软件,可对LTR类反转录转座子全序列进行较准确地预测和注释,RepeatMasker等基于同源搜索法的软件,通过与数据库中的序列的相似性比对后发现可能存在的LTR类反转录转座子。文章对不同的LTR类反转录转座子预测方法进行了比较和分析,在此基础上归纳总结出一套分析LTR类反转录转座子序列的操作流程,旨在为LTR类反转录转座子序列的分析提供参考。     

Isolation and cell regeneration of protoplasts from sugar pine (Pinus lambertiana)

Protoplasts were isolated at high yields from actively growing callus and cell suspensions of cotyledons and needles of mature trees. The best protoplast growth response was obtained from cell suspensions of cotyledon and needle callus. Lower protoplast yields were obtained directly from young needles of flushing buds on explants from mature shoots (30-year-old trees) growing in vitro. In all cases, the first divisions, promoted by dimethyl sulfoxide, were observed in 10–45% of the protoplasts by 7–10 days. After 25–30 days, colonies of 8–10 cells were established. Browning of protoplast-derived cell cultures was observed within 40–45 days (cotyledons) and 20–25 days (mature tree sources).Abbreviations BA N⁶-Benzyladenine - DCR Douglas-fir cotyledon revised medium - 2,4-D 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid - DMSO dimethyl sulfoxide - FDA Fluorescein diacetate - Mes 2-(N-morpholino) ethanesulfonic acid - NAA -naphthaleneacetic acid

裸燕麦Ty1-copia类反转录转座子反转录酶序列的分离、鉴定与分析

本研究根据Ty1-copia类反转录转座子反转录酶的保守区设计简并引物,通过PCR扩增,从裸燕麦(Avena nuda L.)品种‘品燕1号’基因组中分离获得23条Ty1-copia类反转录转座子序列,并对序列特征、系统发育关系及其转录活性进行分析。结果显示,23条Ty1-copia类反转录转座子存在较高的异质性,序列间的一致性为45%～98%,存在插入、移码和终止密码突变,但频率不高;系统发育分析结果表明,燕麦Ty1-copia类反转录转座子在进化过程中主要为垂直传递。本研究通过检索燕麦基因表达数据库,发现了5个有转录活性的Ty1-copia类反转录转座子。     

马尾松林食叶类群昆虫多样性及相互关系

广西凭祥地区主要的马尾松食叶害虫有马尾松毛虫Dendrolimus punctatus Walker、松茸毒蛾Dasychira axutha Collenette、松艺夜蛾Hyssia adusta Draudt、松尺蠖Ectropis bistortata Goze、松叶蜂(Diprinid)：对马尾松林食叶类群昆虫多样性、组成结构和动态变化规律的研究表明,无灾区各种食叶害虫的多样性较高,比例比较均匀,而常灾区多样性较低．以马尾松毛虫和松毒蛾为主,其它食叶害虫的比例都很小,偶灾区介于二者之间。非暴发期的多样性高可降低害虫的变动幅度。松毒蛾与松毛虫具有协同危害的特性,而其它几种马尾松食叶害虫对松毛虫产生一定的抑制作用：水平相互关系可能降低或增加松毛虫暴发的机会。增加食叶类群的多样性,不但可以通过竞争抑制松毛虫,还有利于增加天敌和整个群落的多样性,是松毛虫持续控制的研究方向。     

马尾松受害诱导的化学物质滞后变化

通过接种马尾松毛虫Dendrolimus punctatus和人工剪叶,分析比较了不同受害方式对马尾松针叶内化学物质的影响。结果表明,害虫取食松针诱导的次生代谢物质(单宁、酚类物质)比人工剪叶处理略有增加,而营养物质-可溶性糖变化不大。对马尾松进行害虫取食为害、人工剪叶受害、未受害三种处理后,连续3年跟踪测定了松针叶内化学物质含量的变化。结果发现,无论是害虫取食为害,还是人工剪叶受害,针叶内次生代谢物质含量都减少,可溶性糖含量降低,直至一年后才恢复到原有的水平;蛋白质变化的趋势则始终是受害处理的含量比未受害处理的含量高,表明马尾松受害后诱导的化学物质变化具有滞后特性。     

Isolation of 4-coumarate Co-A ligase gene promoter from loblolly pine (Pinus taeda) and characterization of tissue-specific activity in transgenic tobacco

We characterized promoter activity of a phenylpropanoid biosynthetic gene encoding 4-coumarate Co-A ligase (4CL), Pta4Clα, from Pinus taeda. Histochemical- and quantitative assays of GUS expression in the vascular tissue were performed using transgenic tobacco plants expressing promoter-GUS reporters. Deletion analysis of the Pta4Clα promoter showed that the region ?524 to ?252, which has two AC elements, controls the high expression levels in ray-parenchyma cells of older tobacco stems. High activity level of the promoter domain of Pta4CLα was also detected in the xylem cells under bending stress. DNA-protein complexes were detected in the reactions of the Pta4CLα promoter fragments with the nuclear proteins of xylem of P. taeda. The AC elements in the Pta4CLα promoter appeared to have individual roles during xylem development that are activated in a coordinated manner in response to stress in transgenic tobacco.     

马尾松内生真菌产油脂菌株的分离、筛选和鉴定

采用组织块法从马尾松(Pinus massoniana Lamb.)根、茎和叶片中分离获得内生真菌,初步筛选出产油脂菌株且对其油脂含量进行了分析;并采用形态学及分子生物学方法对产油脂菌株进行了分类鉴定。结果显示:从马尾松植株中共获得21株内生真菌菌株,其中分离自根、茎和叶片的菌株分别为4株、6株和11株。有14株菌株的菌丝中有油滴;其中,分离自叶片的菌株ZP-1、分离自根的菌株ZP-2和分离自茎的菌株ZP-3的菌丝内油滴较多且油脂含量较高,平均油脂含量分别达到29.12%、25.03%和30.56%,差异极显著(P<0.01)。不同菌株的菌落颜色、菌丝和分生孢子形态特征明显不同,菌株ZP-1、ZP-2和ZP-3的形态分别与拟青霉属(Paecilomyces Bainier)、生赤壳菌属(Bionectria Speg.)和镰刀菌属(Fusarium Link)菌种的形态相似。与GenBank中相关真菌ITS序列的比对以及NJ系统树分析结果显示:菌株ZP-1与拟青霉属、菌株ZP-2与生赤壳菌属、菌株ZP-3与镰刀菌属间的ITS片段序列相似性均达到99%,在各自的NJ系统树上它们也分别聚在一起。初步确定菌株ZP-1、ZP-2和ZP-3分别属于拟青霉属、生赤壳菌属和镰刀菌属。
