榆钱菠菜脯氨酸转运蛋白基因的克隆及转基因拟南芥的耐盐性

脯氨酸是自然界中分布最广泛,作用最重要的渗透保护剂之一,同时又是高等植物中一类重要的碳源和氮源物质.为了解环境胁迫下脯氨酸的转运调节,从一个典型的盐生植物榆钱菠菜( Atriplex hortensis L.)中通过cDNA文库筛选和5′-RACE的方法获得了一个全长的cDNA (AhProT1),其编码蛋白与脯氨酸转运蛋白有60%～69%的同源性,含有11个跨膜结构域.聚类分析表明,微生物和高等植物的脯氨酸转运蛋白同源程度相对高于哺乳动物.为进一步分析脯氨酸转运蛋白在植物中的功能,将AhProT1置于35S启动子下转入拟南芥(Arabidopsis thaliana).通过同位素示踪法发现, 与对照植物相比, 转基因植物在根中积累更多的脯氨酸;在一系列不同浓度的盐胁迫试验中,转基因植株最高可耐受200 mmol/L NaCl,并可持续生长,而对照植株在150 mmol/L NaCl下即已死亡.     

盐和干旱胁迫对燕子掌(Crassula agenten Thunb.)叶片液泡膜H+-ATPase活性的影响

水稻PHD-finger转录因子基因OsMsr16增强耐盐性的可能性研究

Os Msr16(Oryza sativa L.multi-stress-responsive gene 16)是一个新的水稻植物同源结构域(PHD)-finger家族转录因子基因。之前研究显示,Os Msr16受到低温、高温和干旱胁迫的诱导表达。本研究中,q RT-PCR分析表明Os Msr16同样受到盐胁迫的诱导表达,推测该基因可能参与植物在高盐胁迫下的生理调控。苗期盐处理条件下,与对照相比,过表达Os Msr16的转基因水稻植株叶片失绿面积较少,存活率更高。盐胁迫条件下,转基因植株中积累更高含量的脯氨酸和可溶性糖,而丙二醛含量和双氧水含量明显降低。转基因植株中超氧化物歧化酶(superoxide dismutase,SOD)活性和过氧化氢酶(catalase,CAT)活性明显高于对照。以上结果说明Os Msr16基因可能在植物防御盐胁迫过程中发挥重要作用。

NaCl胁迫下大麦根系液泡膜H~ -ATPase活性与膜流动性的关系(英文)

用 5 0～ 2 0 0mmol/LNaCl处理 2d后 ,大麦 (HordeumvulgareL .)品种“滩引 2号”(耐盐性强 )根的液泡膜H _ATPase活性增强 ,6 0 0mmol/LNaCl处理下酶活性下降 ;“科品 7号”(耐盐性弱 )在 5 0～ 10 0mmol/LNaCl处理 2d后根的液泡膜H _ATPase活性增强 ,2 0 0～ 6 0 0mmol/LNaCl处理下酶活性随盐浓度增加而降低。 5 0～ 2 0 0mmol/LNaCl处理下“滩引 2号”根的液泡膜流动性下降 ,6 0 0mmol/LNaCl处理下膜流动性明显增大 ;盐胁迫下液泡膜膜脂脂肪酸不饱和度下降时 ,膜流动性下降 ,反之则膜流动性上升。由此推断高盐胁迫下液泡膜膜脂脂肪酸不饱和度上升而引起膜流动性上升可能是引起H _ATPase活性下降的原因之一。     

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.
