Different lines of cell suspension cultures of Taxus × media Rehd. and Taxus floridana Nutt. were cryopreserved with a two-step freezing method using a simple and inexpensive freezing container instead of a programmable
freezer. Four to seven days old suspension cell cultures were precultured in growth medium supplemented with 0.5 M mannitol
for 2 d. The medium was then replaced with cryoprotectant solution (1 M sucrose, 0.5 M glycerol and 0.5 M dimethylsulfoxide)
and the cells incubated on ice for 1 h. Before being plunged into liquid nitrogen, cells were frozen with a cooling rate of
approximately −1 °C per min to −80 °C. The highest post-thaw cell viability was 90 %. The recovery was line dependent. The
cryopreservation procedure did not alter the nuclear DNA content of the cell lines. The results indicate that cryopreservation
of Taxus cell suspension cultures using inexpensive freezing container is possible. 相似文献

Root segments from seedlings of Panax ginseng produced adventitious roots directly when cultured on 1/2 MS solid medium lacking NH4NO3 and containing 3.0 mg l−1 IBA. Using this adventitious root formation, we developed rapid and efficient transgenic root formation directly from adventitious
root segments in P. ginseng. Root segments were co-cultivated with Agrobacterium tumefaciens (GV3101) caring β-glucuronidase (GUS) gene. Putative transgenic adventitious roots were formed directly from root segments on medium with 400 mg l−1 cefotaxime and 50 mg l−1 kanamycin. Kanamycin resistant adventitious roots were selected and proliferated as individual lines by subculturing on medium
with 300 mg l−1 cefotaxime and 50 mg l−1 kanamycin at two weeks subculture interval. Frequency of transient and stable expression of GUS gene was enhanced by acetosyringon (50 mg l−1) treatment. Integration of transgene into the plants was confirmed by the X-gluc reaction, PCR and Southern analysis. Production
of transgenic plants was achieved via somatic embryogenesis from the embryogenic callus derived from independent lines of
adventitious roots. The protocol for rapid induction of transgenic adventitious roots directly from adventitious roots can
be applied for a new Agrobacterium tumefaciens-mediated genetic transformation protocol in P. ginseng. 相似文献

Background
The presence of β-lactamases in Y. enterocolitica has been reported to vary with serovars, biovars and geographical origin of the isolates. An understanding of the β-lactamases in other related species is important for an overall perception of antibiotic resistance in yersiniae. The objective of this work was to study the characteristics of β-lactamases and their genes in strains of Y. intermedia and Y. frederiksenii, isolated from clinical and non-clinical sources in India. 相似文献5.
The lipase Lip2 of the edible basidiomycete, Pleurotus sapidus, is an extracellular enzyme capable of hydrolysing xanthophyll esters with high efficiency. The gene encoding Lip2 was expressed
in Escherichia coli TOP10 using the gene III signal sequence to accumulate proteins in the periplasmatic space. The heterologous expression under
control of the araBAD promoter led to the high level production of recombinant protein, mainly as inclusion bodies, but partially
in a soluble and active form. A fusion with a C-terminal His tag was used for purification and immunochemical detection of
the target protein. This is the first example of a heterologous expression and periplasmatic accumulation of a catalytically
active lipase from a basidiomycete fungus. 相似文献

Methanolic extracts from calluses and shoots of Aronia arbutifolia and Aronia × prunifolia cultivated in vitro were quantitatively analysed for phenolic acids by DAD-HPLC. The cultures were grown on ten variants of Murashige–Skoog medium variants enriched with various concentrations of growth regulators (GRs), BA and NAA, in the concentration range 0.1–3.0 mg/L. The analysed extracts were confirmed to contain from four to six compounds (depsides—chlorogenic acid, neochlorogenic acid, and rosmarinic acid, and also protocatechuic acid, p-hydroxybenzoic acid, and 3,4-dihydroxyphenylacetic acid). The total amounts of the metabolites varied considerably, depending on the amounts of the GRs in the tested medium variants, and increased in the callus and shoot extracts, respectively, up to 1.7 and 3.2 times (A. arbutifolia), and 2.2 and 2.7 times (A. × prunifolia). Maximum total amounts were confirmed in shoot extracts of both plants (approx. 200 and 600 mg/100 g DW, respectively). The main compounds in A. arbutifolia cultures were the depsides—chlorogenic acid, rosmarinic acid, and neochlorogenic acid (max. 91.94, 77.03, 32.57 mg/100 g DW, respectively). The same depsides dominated quantitatively in the cultures of A. × prunifolia (max. 131.82, 206.62 and 257.39 mg/100 g DW, respectively). 相似文献

Somatic embryo-like structures were produced from the hypocotyls of ten cultivars of Pelargonium × hortorum using the protocols of Marsolais et al. (1991; Can J Bot 69:1188–1193) and Slimmon et al. (1991; Plant Cell Rep 10:587–589) and their embryonic natures evaluated. Nine cultivars responded, and 937 structures were formed. Regeneration corresponded well with published data. The somatic embryo-like structures were globular- to leaf-shaped or similar to shoots. A root pole was never visible. Histological examinations confirmed the lack of bipolarity and revealed vascular connections to the explant in the more developed structures. Therefore, these structures cannot be classified as somatic embryos. The importance of these results is discussed in terms of evaluating published protocols for the propagation of these pelargoniums by somatic embryogenesis from hypocotyls.Communicated by H. Lörz 相似文献

Recombinant Zantedeschia aethiopica agglutinin (ZAA) was expressed in Escherichia coli as N-terminal His-tagged fusion. After induction with isopropylthio-β-d-galactoside (IPTG), the recombinant ZAA was purified by metal-affinity chromatography. The purified ZAA protein was applied
in anti-fungal assay and the result showed that recombinant ZAA had anti-fungal activity towards leaf mold (Fulvia fulva), one of the most serious phytopathogenic fungi causing significant yield loss of crops. This study suggests that ZAA could
be an effective candidate in genetic engineering of plants for the control of leaf mold. 相似文献

A novel 4-hydroxyphenylpyruvate dioxygenase gene (designated as Smhppd) was cloned from hairy roots of Salvia
miltiorrhiza Bung. The full-length cDNA of Smhppd was 1,736 bp long with an ORF (open reading frame) that putatively encoded a polypeptide of 481 amino acids, with a predicted
molecular mass of 52.54 kDa. The deduced amino acid sequence of the Smhppd gene shared high homology with other known HPPDs. Analysis of Smhppd genomic DNA revealed that it contained two exons and one intron. The analysis of Smhppd promoter region was also presented. Southern-blot analysis revealed that the Smhppd was a low-copy gene in S.
miltiorrhiza. Real-time quantitative PCR analysis indicated that Smhppd was constitutively expressed in roots, stems and leaves of S.
miltiorrhiza, with the high expression in roots. In addition, Smhppd expreession level under different stress condition was also analyzed during the hairy root culture period, including signaling
components for plant defence responses, such as methyl jasmonate and salicylic acid, as well as an abiotic elicitor, Ag+ and a biotic elicitor, yeast extract. This study will enable us to further understand the role Smhppd plays in the synthesis of active pharmaceutical compounds in S.
miltiorrhiza at molecular level. 相似文献

Much attention has been focused on the study of lactoferrin at the protein or nucleotide level in mice, humans, and cattle, but little is known about it in goats. The goat LF gene from 5' UTR to exon 17 was amplified, and the variation of g.7605C→T in 10 Chinese indigenous goat breeds was analyzed. Among the three ruminant species (cattle, sheep, and goats), the intron-exon distribution pattern was similar, and all the exons had the same length, but the length of introns varied greatly due to insertions or deletions. The frequency of allele T at g.7605C→T (50.12%) was a little higher than that of allele C (49.88%), and the genotype distribution differed greatly between goat populations. The g.7605C→T site showed higher genetic diversity in goat populations. The genetic differentiation was 0.0783, and gene flow was 2.9433 among the 10 Chinese indigenous goat populations. 相似文献

We undertook a field study to determine whether comb cell size affects the reproductive behavior of Varroa destructor under natural conditions. We examined the effect of brood cell width on the reproductive behavior of V. destructor in honey bee colonies, under natural conditions. Drone and worker brood combs were sampled from 11 colonies of Apis mellifera. A Pearson correlation test and a Tukey test were used to determine whether mite reproduction rate varied with brood cell
width. Generalized additive model analysis showed that infestation rate increased positively and linearly with the width of
worker and drone cells. The reproduction rate for viable mother mites was 0.96 viable female descendants per original invading
female. No significant correlation was observed between brood cell width and number of offspring of V. destructor. Infertile mother mites were more frequent in narrower brood cells. 相似文献

The stored-product mites are the most abundant and frequent group of pests living on the stored food products in Europe. They endanger public health since they produce allergens and transmit mycotoxin-producing fungi. Novel acaricidal compounds with inhibitory effects on the digestive enzymes of arthropods are a safe alternative to the traditional neurotoxic pesticides used for control of the stored-product pests. In this work, we explored the properties of acarbose, the low molecular weight inhibitor of -amylases (AI), as a novel acaricide candidate for protection of the stored products from infestation by Acarus siro (Acari: Acaridae). In vitro analysis revealed that AI blocked efficiently the enzymatic activity of digestive amylases of A. siro, and decreased the physiological capacity of mites gut in utilizing a starch component of grain flour. In vivo experiments showed that AI suppressed the population growth of A. siro. The mites were kept for three weeks on experimental diet enriched by AI in concentration range of 0.005 to 0.25%. Population growth of A. siro was negatively correlated with the content of AI in the treated diet with a half-population dose of 0.125%. The suppressive effect of AIs on stored-product mites is discussed in the context of their potential application in GMO crops 相似文献

We studied heterologous expression of xylanase 11A gene of Chaetomium thermophilum in Pichia pastoris and characterized the thermostable nature of the purified gene product. For this purpose, the xylanase 11A gene of C. thermophilum was cloned in P. pastoris GS115 under the control of AOX1 promoter. The maximum extracellular activity of recombinant xylanase (xyn698: gene with intron) was 15.6 U ml−1 while that of recombinant without intron (xyn669) was 1.26 U ml−1 after 96 h growth. The gene product was purified apparently to homogeneity level. The optimum temperature of pure recombinant
xylanase activity was 70°C and the enzyme retained its 40.57% activity after incubation at 80°C for 10 min. It exhibited quite
lower demand of activation energy, enthalpy, Gibbs free energy, entropy, and xylan binding energy during substrate hydrolysis
than that required by that of the donor, thus indicating its thermostable nature. pH-dependent catalysis showed that it was
quite stable in a pH range of 5.5–8.5. This revealed that gene was successfully processed in P. pastoris and remained heat stable and may qualify for its potential use in paper and pulp and animal feed applications. 相似文献

In this study, we investigated the influence of cold stratification on seed germination in S. × niederederi, a hybrid between the North American S. canadensis and the European S. virgaurea, using fruit samples collected in 2016 in Poland. We aimed to test the hypothesis that the low temperature exposure decreases the final percentage and speed of seed germination in the hybrid and its parental species. For each species, sets of 100 achenes in three replications were mixed with dry sand and stored in Petri dishes in darkness for 12 weeks, at ?18 °C and?+?4 °C, and?+?25 °C. The seeds were incubated for 21 d at room temperature (+25 °C), under the 12 h photoperiod (630 lx). We showed a lack of significant differences in: (i) the final percentage of germinated seeds of studied species stored at the same conditions, (ii) the final percentage of germinated seeds between the applied stratification conditions in the hybrid and its parental species, and (iii) the mean values of Timson’s index, mean germination time, and coefficient of velocity of germination between the stratification conditions in each species. The statistically significant inter-specific differences in the mean germination time parameter after the +25 °C treatment suggest that the seeds of S. × niederederi are able to germinate faster than the seeds of its parental species. However, to improve our knowledge of naturalization and invasion abilities of S. × niederederi by sexual reproduction, the seed germination and seedling survival of the hybrid should be tested in the field. 相似文献

To study the production of secondary metabolites of Maesa lanceolata and Medicago truncatula, hairy root cultures of both plant species were established. Because maintenance of large numbers of cultures is laborious
and costly, we developed a cryopreservation protocol and stored different isolated lines over time. Using encapsulation-dehydration,
high survival rates were observed for both Maesa and Medicago hairy roots. Root tips were isolated and encapsulated in calcium-alginate beads, containing 0.1 M sucrose. The encapsulated
hairy roots were precultured for 3 days using basal medium containing high sucrose concentrations. Medicago root tip growth during the preculturing time lead to unwanted outgrowth which could be tempered by addition of plant growth
inhibitors. After preculturing, the beads were dehydrated in the air flow of a laminar flow until 35–40% of the initial bead
weight was reached. Dehydrated beads were plunged into liquid nitrogen and after different storage times thawed in a water
bath at 40°C. The survival rates were 90% for Maesa and 53% for Medicago, which are sufficient to allow implementation in large storage experimental set-ups. 相似文献

Plant regeneration through somatic embryogenesis from young leaf explants (5–10 mm long) adjacent to the apex of 5–6 year
old offshoots of Tunisian date palm (Phœnix dactylifera L.), cultivar Boufeggous was successfully achieved. Factors affecting embryogenic callus initiation, including plant growth
regulators and explant size, were investigated. The highest induction frequencies of embryogenic calli occurred after 6–7 months
on MS medium supplemented with 10 mg l−1 2,4-D and 0.3 mg l−1 activated charcoal. The subculture of these calli onto maintenance medium resulted in the formation of proembryos. Fine chopping
and partial desiccation (6 and 12 h) of embryogenic calli with proembryos prior to transfer to MS medium supplemented with
1 mg l−1 ABA stimulated the rapid maturation of somatic embryos. Maturated somatic embryo yield per 0.5 g FW of embryogenic callus
was 51 embryos with an average maturation time of 55 days. This was increased to 422 with finely chopped callus, and 124 and
306 embryos following 6 and 12 h desiccation treatments, respectively. The average time to maturation for these 3 treatments
was 35, 43 and 38 days, respectively. Subsequent substitution of ABA in MS medium with 1 mg l−1 NAA resulted in the germination and conversion of 81% of the somatic embryos into plantlets with normal roots and shoots.
The growth of regenerated somatic plants was also monitored in the field. 相似文献

A gene encoding endochitinase from Trichoderma virens UKM-1 was cloned and expressed in E. coli BL21 (DE3). Both the endochitinase gene and its cDNA sequences were obtained. The endochitinase gene encodes 430 amino acids
from an open reading frame comprising of 1,690 bp nucleotide sequence with three introns. The endochitinase was expressed
as soluble and active enzyme at 20°C when induced with 1 mM IPTG. Maximum activity was observed at 4 h of post-induction time.
SDS-PAGE showed that the purified endochitinase exhibited a single band with molecular weight of 42 kDa. Biochemical characterization
of the enzyme displayed a near neutral pH characteristic with an optimum pH at 6.0 and optimum temperature at 50°C. The enzyme
is stable between pH 3.0–7.0 and is able to retain its activity from 30 to 60°C. The presence of Mg2+ and Ca2+ ions increased the enzyme activity up to 20%. The purified enzyme has a strong affinity towards colloidal chitin and low
effect on ethyl cellulose and D-cellubiose which are non-chitin related substrates. HPLC analysis from the chitin hydrolysis
showed the release of (GlcNAc)3, (GlcNAc)2 and GlcNAc, in which (GlcNAc)2 was the main product. 相似文献

We analysed the influence of contemporary geography on butterfly diversity for islands in the Mediterranean Basin. We found
that island size and distance from the mainland has a significant effect on the number of species. We also used butterflies
as an indicator group to identify the importance of forest habitats for biodiversity conservation in the island of Cyprus.
To understand the relative importance of local vegetation characteristics of butterflies in the Pentadaktylos mountains transect
counts were used to assess the abundance and butterfly diversity in two different forest types. A total of 1,602 butterflies
and 23 species were recorded during this research. We observed highly significant effects of forest type on abundance and
species richness of butterflies. For example, number of butterflies was significantly higher in old forest than young pine
forest. Also, the abundance of endemic butterflies was highest in old forest habitats. Therefore, the survival of the majority
of endemic butterflies in Cyprus may depend on conservation of old forests and their understorey plants. 相似文献
