通过研究葛根资源的遗传多样性和葛根表型性状与分子标记的关联分析,为葛根的分子育种和指纹图谱构建提供理论依据。鉴定分析了127份不同来源葛根资源的10个表型性状,并用ISSR标记研究127份葛根资源的遗传多样性,对ISSR标记与表型性状进行关联分析。表型性状鉴定结果显示葛根资源的10个性状变异大、多样性较好。利用ISSR标记获得多态性条带109条,平均每个引物扩增5.73条、平均Nei's基因多样性0.2085、平均Shannon's指数0.3378,最远遗传距离为0.46。ISSR分子标记聚类分析将127份资源聚为两大类,群体结构分析和PCo A分析结果类似将127份资源分为2个亚群。GLM分析发现3个与茸毛性状关联标记,MLM分析未发现与表型性状关联的标记。本研究收集的资源遗传多样性较好,葛根分子标记聚类结果与地域关系不大,综合GLM和MLM关联分析结果,本试验未发现与表型关联位点。     

Subclassification of murine T cells by computerized microphotometric analysis

Splenocytes separated by physical means and classified as T cells by immunologic tests and computerized microphotometric analysis are differentiated into subgroups by analysis of the distribution patterns of Feulgen-positive nuclear DNA. In like fashion T cells obtained as purified preparations after separation on a nylon column, and accepted as T cells by micromorphometric analysis were subjected to further computerized morphometric analysis of nuclear DNA to form subgroups of cells. In each case, the number and composition of the detected subgroups were consistent. The classification does not appear to reflect any obvious phases of the cell cycle and is not dependent upon the sex and strain of mice from which the cells were obtained.

Use of ecological groups in analysis and classification of plant communities in a section of western Quebec

A plant community analysis and classification were done for an integrated ecological study, in the lake Abitibi region, Quebec. Two levels of vegetation analysis were used: the ecological group level and the community level. Species were first grouped according to their sociological affinities. The ecological significance of those groupings was studied by principal component analysis, with the inclusion of abiotic variables, and by the study of ecological profiles. Secondly, the concurrent use of ecological groups permitted the definition and characterization of noda. The relationships between the noda, in the space defined by the ecological groups, were analyzed by principal coordinate analysis on which is superimposed the shortest spanning tree. Those combined analyses permitted the identification of 35 community types which vary mainly according to surficial deposits (organic or mineral), drainage, relative richness of soils in bases, flooding, presence of bedrock outcrops. fire perturbations and microclimate. Those variations are discussed according to the exlusive or non-exclusive character of the ecological groups.

Analysis of herbicides: demonstration of the utility of enzyme immunoassay verification by HPLC

Evidence has accumulated that herbicides in the environment present a significant health hazard to the population. Therefore, the levels of heavily used substances such as atrazine and simazine and their metabolites need to be regularly assessed. The objective was to develop a rapid and simple tube ELISA procedure suitable for use in field studies and non-specialized laboratories. The antisera used were polyclonal antibodies raised in sheep against atrazine or simazine amido caproic acid conjugated to bovine serum albumin. The antibodies were first used to construct a two-step competitive ELISA procedure in 96-well microtitre plates. The 96-well format was then adapted to a coated-tube enzyme immunoassay, by immobilization of hapten-gelatine conjugates on polystyrene tubes. This enabled the colour to be read using a basic spectrophotometer. Soil samples were collected from agricultural and non-agricultural sites in Poland. Atrazine and simazine were extracted by liquid extraction from soil and assayed by tube ELISA. In addition, the samples were extracted by solid-phase extraction before analysis by HPLC. The immunoassays and chemical analysis were carried out by different individuals who were unaware of each other's results, which were then compared at the end of the study. Correlation of the two methods was excellent, with R=98.7 and 81.3 for atrazine and simazine, respectively. The immunoassay yielded the same order of results without having to perform solid-phase extraction before analysis. The study has demonstrated that the simple antigen-coated tube assay provides a cost-effective and valuable screening test. Comparison with the more elaborate, heavily labour-intensive HPLC analysis demonstrated that the results obtained by the simpler enzyme-immunoassay tests were within the same order.

Treatment of missing values for multivariate statistical analysis of gel-based proteomics data

The presence of missing values in gel-based proteomics data represents a real challenge if an objective statistical analysis is pursued. Different methods to handle missing values were evaluated and their influence is discussed on the selection of important proteins through multivariate techniques. The evaluated methods consisted of directly dealing with them during the multivariate analysis with the nonlinear estimation by iterative partial least squares (NIPALS) algorithm or imputing them by using either k-nearest neighbor or Bayesian principal component analysis (BPCA) before carrying out the multivariate analysis. These techniques were applied to data obtained from gels stained with classical postrunning dyes and from DIGE gels. Before applying the multivariate techniques, the normality and homoscedasticity assumptions on which parametric tests are based on were tested in order to perform a sound statistical analysis. From the three tested methods to handle missing values in our datasets, BPCA imputation of missing values showed to be the most consistent method.     

Comparison of SR-excited X-ray fluorescence analysis with neutron activation analysis for hair and fiber

Human scalp hair and some kinds of vegetable and animal fibers were analyzed by means of the SR excited X-ray fluorescence method (SRXFA) and the neutron activation method (NAA). Human hair samples collected from five males and five females were washed by the IAEA method prior to analysis. In the SRXFA analysis, samples were excited by monochromated X-rays. Fluorescence X-rays were measured by an Si(Li) detector. The elements detected in all hair samples were S, Ca, Cu, Fe, Zn, Br, and Sr. The elements K, Ti, Cr, Mn, Ni, Se, Hg, and Pb were also detected in several samples. After SRXFA analysis these same samples were analyzed by the NAA method. Elements such as Cu, Zn, and Br were detected by both methods, and their relative concentrations show a good agreement of variation between individuals. However, Pb was only detected by SRXFA, and Na, Au, and Sb were only detected by NAA. Therefore, these two methods are complementary to each other for trace element analysis.

Identification of ichneumonid wasps using image analysis of wings

Abstract. Image analysis was used to measure the morphological characters of wings of five species of Canadian Itoplectis (Ichneumonidae). The procedure to digitize and measure various elements of the wings with an image analyser is outlined. Specimens were assigned to species by discriminant analysis and independent univariate comparisons of 144 characters from cells, veins and vertices. All the fifty specimens used were assigned to the correct species by both methods. Image analysis of ichneumonid wings is an effective alternative to the conventional identification system.     

中卫山羊核心产地植物群落的数量分类与排序

应用数量分类(TWINSPAN)和DCA排序方法,对我国特有裘皮用山羊(中卫山羊)核心产地——宁夏香山地区植物群落进行多元分析,根据TWINSPAN分类结果,并结合生态特征将所调查的28个样地植被分为6组,代表了该山地在海拔、地形、土壤、山坡坡度等环境作用下植被空间的分布格局。TWINSPAN分类结果与DCA排序结果较一致,DCA排序第一轴结果主要体现出海拔和山坡坡度对植被分布的作用,第二轴结果主要体现了地形(坡向)和土壤基质(沙地、石质山坡、土质山坡)对植被分布的作用。影响该干旱山地植被分布的主要环境因子有海拔和山坡的坡度,另外长期过度放牧对植被的空间分布影响较大,导致了该山地系统植被空间结构紊乱,并干扰了群落数量分析结果的准确性。

Manual and semi-automated morphological analysis of Penicillium chrysogenum chemostat cultures

Measurement of key morphological indices of chemostat cultures of Penicillium chrysogenum, by image analysis, was carried out manually at Strathclyde University and semi-automatically at Birmingham University using identical preserved samples. Using both methods, the value of the mean hyphal growth unit was found to decrease with decreasing dilution rate. Although similar trends were observed for data obtained at Strathclyde and Birmingham, the values of key morphological indices measured by semi-automated analysis were consistently higher than the values obtained by manual analysis. This discrepancy was as a result of the different analysis methods, particularly with respect to clump analysis. An electronic image transfer method is discussed which would allow analysis of a given image set at either site by either method. © Rapid Science Ltd. 1998     

八肋游仆虫氨酰-tRNA合成酶基因序列分析

氨酰-tRNA合成酶 (aminoacyl-tRNA synthetase, aaRS) 是蛋白质生物合成中的关键酶,能够催化特定的氨基酸和相应tRNA结合。为了研究八肋游仆虫氨酰 tRNA合成酶(Euplotes octocarinatus aminoacyl-tRNA synthetase, EoaaRS)基因的种类、数目、结构及起源,本研究利用生物信息学方法,对八肋游仆虫大核基因组编码的aaRS进行了系统分析。结果表明,八肋游仆虫大核基因组共包含45个aaRS基因,可编码20种不同的aaRS蛋白。其中,EoGlnRS和EoAlaRS仅由1个基因编码,其余EoaaRS均由多个基因编码。亚细胞定位分析显示,仅8个EoaaRS具有线粒体导肽,对应于6种EoaaRS。此外,基于核酸序列分析显示,多个EoaaRS在翻译过程中需要发生编程性核糖体移码,才能形成结构完整的蛋白质产物。结构域分析表明,部分EoaaRS存在特殊结构域,暗示其可能具有氨酰化以外的新功能。进化分析揭示,2个EoGlyRS起源于古菌,而2个EoLysRS起源于细菌。本研究为后续探讨低等真核生物aaRS的结构与功能奠定了基础。

Production of mannose-containing oligosaccharides by glucansucrase E81 and determination of their functional characteristics

Abstract

Oligosaccharides are one of the functional ingredients to be used in food technology. In this study, by using an active glucansucrase GTFA-ΔN E81 in the acceptor reaction of mannose, mannose-containing oligosaccharides were produced and their functionality was tested. The formation of the oligosaccharides were visualised by TLC analysis and mannose-containing oligosaccharides up to DP 7 were determined by LC-MS analysis. The presence of the (1,6)Glc and (1,3)Glc units within the oligosaccharides were determined by NMR analysis. The in vitro immune-modulatory functions of the mannose-containing oligosaccharides were determined but no induction in IL-4, IL-10, IL-12 and TNF-α cytokine levels were detected. Importantly this oligosaccharide mixture showed prebiotic effect by triggering the growth of tested probiotics and not affecting the growth of pathogen strains. Our findings reveals the potential of the role of glucansucrases for the production of functional oligosaccharides.
