研究采用直接测序法,分析日本沼虾(Macrobrachium nipponense)rDNA基因内转录间隔区ITS1的DNA序列,以筛选日本沼虾SNPs位点。共分析了32个太湖水域野生日本沼虾样本,结果表明,日本沼虾ITS1序列平均长度为1749.8bp,是迄今已报道的最长的ITS1序列,A、G、T和C的平均含量分别为29.9%、28.3%、27.7%、14.0%,G+C的含量平均为42.3%。通过序列比对,共筛选出22个SNPs位点,SNPs位点出现频率为0.0126,其中9个为C/T转换(占40.91%),4个为A/G转换(占18.18%),2个为A/T颠换(占9.09%),5个为T/G颠换(占22.73%),1个为A/C颠换(占4.55%),1个A/T或C颠换(占4.55%)。日本沼虾ITS1序列的22个SNP位点中,21个位点为2个等位基因,1个位点出现了3个等位基因,为复等位基因位点。日本沼虾ITS1序列中还发现3个具有多态性的微卫星位点、1个高度变异区以及大量的缺失、插入。研究首次对日本沼虾ITS1序列进行了分析,并发现了大量的SNP位点,为日本沼虾遗传育种研究提供了新的分子标记。       

饥饿对日本沼虾摄食节律的影响

本文研究了不同饥饿时间对开本沼虾Macrobrachium nipponense摄食节律的影响.结果表明,饥饿后恢复投饵初始日本沼虾表现出强烈的摄食,摄食节律为单峰型,随着时间的延长,多峰型摄食节律出现.饥饿4 d的日本沼虾在饥饿过程中并未出现饥饿死亡现象,恢复投喂后在较短时间内(5 d)即可恢复正常的摄食节律.饥饿8 d组在饥饿的第6～8 d便可明显观察到虾体色异常并有部分死亡,说明饥饿8 d已经影响到了日本沼虾的存活.饥饿8 d组日本沼虾摄食高峰的变化无明显规律,恢复到正常摄食节律需要较长时间.     

罗氏沼虾小触角表面结构的观察

罗氏沼虾的小触角是一类具附鞭的小触角。作者应用解剖镜和扫描电子显微镜观察了它的表面形态结构。发现它具有如下特征 :1)内、外鞭极长 ,外鞭另具一条附鞭 ,而附鞭很短 ,位于内外鞭之间 ;2 )柄节具 2 5 0根以上的羽状刚毛、少量的笋状刚毛与硬刺刚毛 ;3)内鞭、主鞭分节 ,各节前缘环行分布着 4— 4 0根不等的软刺刚毛 ;4 )附鞭系一凹槽结构 ,槽内约着生着 2 0 0多根化感刚毛 ;5 )附鞭能纵向卷曲成圆筒状 ,以包裹槽内的化感刚毛 ;6 )化感刚毛分两段 ,下为硬管段 ,上为膜管段 ,其中膜管壁极薄 ;7)凹槽近侧端的节段内还具有许多芽状的初生化感刚毛 ,它们可发育成化感刚毛。因此 ,罗氏沼虾小触角的表面形态迥异于以往报道的十足目甲壳动物小触角 ,其附鞭构成嗅觉器官的主体结构 ,且其本身具有独特的保护化感刚毛之方式。此外 ,作者按形态学特征将已报道的十足目甲壳动物小触角分为蟹型、龙虾型、小龙虾型和对虾型四种类型 ,而罗氏沼虾小触角则属于另一种类型———罗氏沼虾型。     

马氏沼虾蚤状幼体发育特征及其与罗氏沼虾幼体的形态差异

马氏沼虾(Macrobrachium malcolmsonii)的幼体从孵化到变态为幼虾要经过多次蜕皮,每次蜕皮均伴随形态及附肢特征的改变。采用显微观测摄像法对马氏沼虾Z1-Z12各期幼体样本30尾进行了观察,测量结果表明Z2与Z1在复眼上存在较大差异,Z3与Z2、Z4与Z5的主要分期特征均位于尾节上,Z6的腹部出现腹足萌芽,Z7与Z8的形态差异在于第一触角内鞭和外鞭的附肢变化,判别Z9-Z12的主要分期依据为步足、腹足和额角形态。因此通过观察Z1-Z12幼体第1触角上的内鞭和外鞭,第2触角上的触角鞭和触角片,头胸甲上的额角、背刺、复眼和第1、2对步足,腹部的附肢、尾节和尾扇等形态变化,及测定各期幼体附肢的分节数和刚毛数等可量性状上的差异,可为马氏沼虾蚤状幼体分期提供生物学依据;此外还对马氏沼虾与罗氏沼虾幼体的形态差异进行了比较,通过测定幼体触角鞭的分节数量,为两种沼虾幼体之间的鉴别提供参考数据。

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.
