棉花转基因恢复系杂种F1小孢子发生的细胞学观察

对转gst基因棉花恢复系浙大强恢"配制的杂种F1(三系杂交棉)的成熟花药和花粉育性进行了研究.结果表明,在花药的长、宽、鲜重和成熟花粉粒的育性方面,浙大强恢"所配的F1和保持系DES-HAB277"接近,无显著性差异,但比受体恢复系DES-HAF277"所配的F1分别提高47.7%、61.8%、28.5%和39.6%.以不育系DES-HAMS277"和保持系DES-HAB277"的花药为对照,对浙大强恢"和受体恢复系所配的F1的小孢子发生进行了细胞学观察发现,不育系小孢子败育主要发生在造孢细胞增殖期和小孢子母细胞形成期,且在减数分裂期彻底败育,不能形成四分体;受体恢复系所配的F1在小孢子发生和雄配子形成的各个发育时期都有部分败育,平均败育率约为20%,且主要发生在小孢子母细胞减数分裂期和小孢子单核期;而浙大强恢"所配的F1与保持系一样,花药的发育、小孢子的发生以及雄配子的形成均正常.研究结果从细胞形态学方面证明gst基因对三系杂交棉具有防止部分小孢子败育和提高花粉育性的功能.     

细胞质雄性不育水稻幼穗和花药的呼吸酶活性研究

研究珍汕97A和珍汕97B的雌雄蕊原基形成期、花粉母细胞形成期和花粉母细胞减数分裂期的幼穗及单核期、二核期和三核期的花药中呼吸代谢三羧酸循环（TCA）的苹果酸脱氢酶（MDH）和异柠檬酸脱氢酶（IDH）及戊糖途径（PPP）的磷酸葡萄糖脱氢酶（G6PDH）、磷酸葡萄糖酸脱氢酶（6PGDH）和5一磷酸核糖异构酶（RSPI）的活性。结果表明：可育花药的5种酶活性皆高于同期不育花药;而幼穗中,TCA途径中的MDH和IDH在不育系与保持系之间无差异,PPP途径的G6PDH和6PGDH及R5PI则保持系高于不育系。这说明不育系中PPP发生的变化早于TCA途径,PPP途径的改变可能与小孢子败育有着更为直接的关系。     

温敏核不育小麦可育花药和败育花药发育观察

对温敏核不育小麦百农不育系（Bainong sterility,BNS）的可育和不育花药结构进行对比观察。在减数分裂期、小孢子早期和小孢子晚期,可育花药与不育花药的结构相同。小孢子分裂形成二胞花粉后,可育花粉中随着大液泡的分解,细胞质内含物增加,其中出现一些颗粒状物质。不育花药中,小孢子也可分裂形成二胞花粉,但营养细胞的大液泡不分解,细胞质也不增加,最终花粉中的细胞质消失,花粉败育。该种温敏核不育小麦的花粉败育时间发生在二胞花粉早期,可能和其大液泡没有适时分解有关。花粉败育时间的确定为进一步深入研究该种雄性不育小麦的败育机制打下了基础。     

顺乌头酸酶基因在杀雄剂SQ-1诱导小麦雄性不育花药中的表达分析

采用RT-PCR技术,克隆了小麦胞质顺乌头酸酶基因(cACO)部分cDNA序列.该cDNA序列长1368bp,编码456个氨基酸,GenBank登录号为GU475062.半定量RT-PCR结果表明,在生理型不育和可育花药发育的单核早期至三核期,cACO基因的表达水平均表现为先升后降;在生理型不育花药发育的单核晚期cACO基因表达水平与同期可育花药相比显著升高,到二核期和三核期明显降低,ACO酶活性变化表现出相同趋势.这反映出在小麦生理型不育系中,cACO基因在花药败育关键期异常表达可能影响了花药发育过程中正常的能量供应和物质代谢,导致花粉发育能量不足和所需物质匮乏,从而导致了非遗传型花药败育现象.     

两个育性相关基因在BNS和YS小麦温敏雄性不育系中的表达差异分析

为研究雄性不育相关基因TA1和TA2在BNS和YS小麦温敏雄性不育系732A花粉发育时期的表达特点,探讨这2个育性相关基因与温敏雄性不育小麦育性转换的联系,本研究利用荧光实时定量PCR方法,在BNS和YS型不育系732A花药发育四分体期、单核期、二核期和三核期定量检测基因TA1和TA2的mRNA表达水平。结果表明:(1)在732A和BNS花粉发育四分体时期至二核期,基因TA1相对表达量上调,在三核期相对表达量下降;(2)基因TA2相对表达量在BNS花粉发育的四分体时期至二核期逐渐下降,三核期上升;在732A花粉发育4个时期中的相对表达量变化刚好相反;(3)在BNS和732A花粉发育二核期,基因TA1和TA2均表现极值,推测二核期可能为BNS和YS型小麦温敏雄性不育系花粉发育最敏感时期;(4)在不育系BNS和732A花粉发育过程中,基因TA1的相对表达量变化幅度比TA2的高。推测TA1对不育系BNS和732A花粉败育影响程度强于TA2;(5)基因TA1和TA2相对表达量在BNS的花粉发育时期表达趋势相反,推测其对BNS花粉败育影响表现为拮抗作用,且2个基因不连锁;在732A花粉发育时期表达趋势相同,推测其对不育系732A花粉败育影响表现为协同作用。     

萝卜雄性不育系花药发育组织化学的初步研究

对萝卜（ＲａｐｈａｎｕｓｓａｔｉｖｕｓＬ．）２种雄性不育系及相应保持系花药发育过程进行组织化学研究,研究结果表明,２种不育花药组织化学变化与小孢子败育变化皆类似,不育系４７５Ａ的花药发育受阻于孢原细胞分化之前,此时花药时含少量蛋白质,核酸的较多淀粉粒。随着花粉的长大,不再含有蛋白质,核酸和淀粉粒,不育系春红Ａ的花药在四分体以前与可育系类似,含丰富蛋白质,核酸和多糖。在单核期绒毡层异常引起小孢子败育     

高粱雄性不育与可育花药同工酶及游离组蛋白的比较研究

本文研究了高粱细胞质雄性不育花药、可育花药不同发育时期的COD、PPO、MDH及游离组蛋白变化特征,结果表明,在花粉母细胞减数分裂期,COD、PPO未呈现差异,但到了小孢子单核期,不育花药与可育花药间COD、PPO出现明显差异,并且这种差异一直保持至花粉粒双核—三核期。COD、PPO的变化时期与花粉败育的关键时期(小孢子单核期)相一致。不育花药与可育花药的MDH两者相同,但游离组蛋白在花药发育的不同时期均呈现明显差异。本文作者将不育花药、可育花药的COD、PPO及游离组蛋白中出现的差异归因于不育花药中的细胞质不育基因对核基因表达的调控作用。     

新型甘蓝型油菜温敏核不育系SP2S的花药发育解剖学观察

SP2S是西北农林科技大学选育的甘蓝型油菜温敏核不育系,本文采用半薄树脂切片、扫描电镜对SP2S及其可育近等基因系SP2F的花药发育及花粉形态进行观察比较,发现SP2S花药发育在减数分裂时期出现异常,单核花粉时期彻底败育。其主要特征是：减数分裂时期绒毡层已经径向肥大且出现大液泡,胼胝质不能及时降解,使得单核小孢子相互粘连在一起,小孢子无花粉壁的形成且细胞质物质逐渐降解,最后小孢子仅剩下空壳残留物,聚集在一起。SP2S败育特征与现有的核不育材料不同,表明其有可能是一种新型温敏核不育材料。

以４上个普通小麦同核异质系－可育系Ｄ^2-CA8057(BC14),D^2型不育系msD^2－ＣＡ８０５７（ＢＣ１１）、ＹＡ型不育系msA-CA8057(BC12)、CA8057(核亲本）为材料,采用ＲＡＧＥ方法比较了４个系灌浆期种子胚乳和“花粉双核期”花药的过氧化物酶同工酶,采用梯度ＳＤＳ－ＰＡＧＥ方法比较了４个系不同发育时期（干种子胚乳、越冬前和越冬后苗期叶片、“花粉双核期”旗叶、“花粉双核期”花药）可溶性蛋白质的组份,发现可育系之间差异较小、不育系与可育系之间,D^2型不育系与ＹＡ型不育系之间的存在显著差异,表明细胞质（不育）基因的表达具有时空性和特异性,这些差异（表达）带作为细胞质（不育）基因对核基因的特异调控表达产物,可以作为４个系的生化标记,同时也表明msD^2-CA8057和msA-CA8057是２个不同的新不育类型。     

Comparative analysis of stamen polypeptides of a rapeseed cultivar,Regent, a CMS polima line,and temperature-restored male-fertile polima line

Summary Polypeptides were extracted from stamens of a rapeseed (Brassica napus) cultivar, Regent, a near isogenic male-sterile line, Polima-R7 (Pol-R7), and a high-temperature-restored malefertile Pol-R7 (TR) and subsequently separated by two-dimensional isoelectric focusing-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis under denaturing conditions. Four variable polypeptides with a pI around 6 were observed. Two stamen polypeptides (40000 Da, 38000 Da) were unique to Regent, and the other two (32000 Da, 30000 Da) were unique to the male-sterile Pol-R7. When the male-sterile Pol-R7 was treated with day/night temperatures of 30°/24° C for 7–10 days prior to flowering, both polypeptides unique to Regent reappeared, while the smaller polypeptides disappeared. Temperature-restored male-fertile Pol-R7 (TR) produced fertile pollen, while its short stamen filaments resembled those of the male-sterile Pol-R7. These changes in protein expression may be causally related to the CMS phenotype.     

Proteomic analysis of the human pathogen Trypanosoma cruzi

Trypanosoma cruzi, the protozoan that causes Chagas disease, possesses a complex life cycle involving different developmental stages. Experimental conditions for two-dimensional electrophoresis (2-DE) analysis of T. cruzi trypomastigote, amastigote and epimastigote proteomes were optimized. Comparative proteome analysis of the cell-cycle stages were carried out, revealing that few proteins included in the 2-DE maps displayed significant differential expression among the three developmental forms of the parasite. In order to identify landmark proteins, spots from the trypomastigote 2-DE map were subjected to matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization-time of flight mass spectrometry peptide mass fingerprinting, resulting in 26 identifications that corresponded to 19 different proteins. Among the identified polypeptides, there were heat shock proteins (HSP; chaperones, HSP 60, HSP 70 and HSP 90), elongation factors, glycolytic pathway enzymes (enolase, pyruvate kinase and 2,3 bisphosphoglycerate mutase) and structural proteins (KMP 11, tubulin and paraflagellar rod components). The relative expression of the identified proteins in the 2-DE maps of the T. cruzi developmental stages is also presented.     

Starch biosynthesis during pollen maturation is associated with altered patterns of gene expression in maize

Starch biosynthesis during pollen maturation is not well understood in terms of genes/proteins and intracellular controls that regulate it in developing pollen. We have studied two specific developmental stages: "early," characterized by the lack of starch, before or during pollen mitosis I; and "late," an actively starch-filling post-pollen mitosis I phase in S-type cytoplasmic male-sterile (S-CMS) and two related male-fertile genotypes. The male-fertile starch-positive, but not the CMS starch-deficient, genotypes showed changes in the expression patterns of a large number of genes during this metabolic transition. In addition to a battery of housekeeping genes of carbohydrate metabolism, we observed changes in hexose transporter, plasma membrane H(+)-ATPase, ZmMADS1, and 14-3-3 proteins. Reduction or deficiency in 14-3-3 protein levels in all three major cellular sites (amyloplasts [starch], mitochondria, and cytosol) in male-sterile relative to male-fertile genotypes are of potential interest because of interorganellar communication in this CMS system. Further, the levels of hexose sugars were significantly reduced in male-sterile as compared with male-fertile tissues, not only at "early" and "late" stages but also at an earlier point during meiosis. Collectively, these data suggest that combined effects of both reduced sugars and their reduced flux in starch biosynthesis along with a strong possibility for altered redox passage may lead to the observed temporal changes in gene expressions, and ultimately pollen sterility.     

Correction of chlorophyll-defective male-sterile winter oilseed rape (Brassica napus) through organelle exchange: Characterization of the chlorophyll deficiency

Jarl, C. I., Ljungberg, U. K. and Bornman, C. H. 1988. Correction of chlorophyll-defective male-sterile winter oilseed rape ( Brassica napus ) through organelle exchange: Characterization of the chlorophyll deficiency. - Physiol. Plant. 72: 505–510.
As is known, the introduction of male-sterile Raphanus sativus L. cytoplasm into Brassica napus L. results in male-sterile oilseed rape plants, which display a temperature-related chlorophyll defect. The influences of temperature and irradiance on this defect were investigated. Compared to a line of normal (green phenotype) male-fertile oilseed rape, the male-sterile line had reduced chlorophyll content, fewer chloroplasts per cell, an altered ultrastructure of the chloroplasts and reduced activities of both photosystems, although the relative amounts of the photosystems and the chlorophyll a/b ratio were similar. The lower activity of the photosystems is explained by a decreased functional antennae size and a reduced efficiency in the interactions between the nuclear-encoded light-harvesting proteins and the reaction centres coded for by the plastome. Some thylakoid polypeptides differed in proportion between the male-fertile line with green phenotype and the male-sterile line with chlorotic phenotype. Characters, in which the two lines exhibited differences, are ascribed to difficulties in molecular communication between the oilseed rape nucleus and the radish cytoplasm, which are combined in the deficient male-sterile line.     

Studies on the Free Amino Acid Content in Anthers of Malesterile and Fertile Plants of Taigu Wheat,with Special Reference to Free Proline Content

Biochemical analyses were made on anthers and pistils at various developmental stages of both male-sterne and fertile plants of Taigu wheat. Analyses ineluded total free amino aeids and free proline. The following results were obtained: 1. There was no significant difference between the content of free proline in anthers of male-sterile and fertile plants at reduction division of mierospore mother cells. 2. In anthers with early uninucleate miorospores, the content of free proline of fertile plants was remarkably higher than that of male-sterile plants. It is interesting to note that at this stage the content of free proline in fertile plants rose to 1.65% of the dry weight of the anther, constituting 50% of the total free amino acids, and amounted to 7-fold of that in male-sterile plants. This result is in line with the results obtained with most cytoplasmic malesterile plants reported by other workers, although malesterility in Taigu wheat is controlled by the nueleus. 3. In pistils, at the stages eorresponding to the early uninneleate and the binueleate stages of the pollen, the free proline content of fertile plants was twice as much as that of the male-sterile plants. This differenee disappeared gradually after fertilization. 4. Tile content of total free amino aoids did not fluetuate as much as the free proline content. There was no differenee in anthers of both types of plants during reduction division of mierospore mother cells. In anthers with early uninueleate pollen grains, total free amino acid content of fertile plants exceeded that of male-sterile plant, the difference levelled off at latter stages. In pistils, before fertilization, the content of total free amino acids of the fertile phmts was slightly higher than that of the male-sterile plants. After fertilization t}fis difference was no nmre noticeable.     

Simultaneous Expression of Multiple Proteins Under a Single Promoter in Caenorhabditis elegans via a Versatile 2A-Based Toolkit

Caenorhabditis elegans is a powerful in vivo model in which transgenesis is highly developed. However, while the analysis of biological phenomena often require the expression of more than one protein of interest, no reliable tool exists to ensure efficient concomitant and equivalent expression of more than two polypeptides from a single promoter. We report the use of viral 2A peptides, which trigger a “ribosomal-skip” or “STOP&GO” mechanism during translation, to express multiple proteins from a single vector in C. elegans. Although none of the viruses known to infect C. elegans contain 2A-like sequences, our results show that 2A peptides allow the production of separate functional proteins in all cell types and at all developmental stages tested in the worm. In addition, we constructed a toolkit including a 2A-based polycistronic plasmid and reagents to generate 2A-tagged fosmids. 2A peptides constitute an important tool to ensure the delivery of multiple polypeptides in specific cells, enabling several novel applications such as the reconstitution of multi-subunit complexes.     

Isoelectrofocusing Electrophoretic Analysis on Soluble Protein of Germinated Embryos and Young Shoots from Different Cytoplasmic Male Sterile Lines and Their Maintainers in Wheat

The soluble proteins of germinated embryos and young shoots in Wheat were studied by means of isoelectrofocusing (IEF) electrophoresis. The materials used were three species of cytoplasmic male-sterile (CMS) lines (Type E, T and A) and their maintainers. The protein quantity of pI 4. 9 in male-fertile materials is higher than the corresponding male-sterile ones; the protein of pI 6.85 is probably the result of gene expression in Timopheevi cytoplasm; the protein of pI 7.6 is a typical band of Jinfeng male-sterile line. Evident differences on soluble protein chromatograms of IEF electrophoresis were observed both in germinated embryos and young shoots which were from different kinds of CMS line, these differences could be used as indexes identifying various CMS lines.     

Effect of jasmonic acid on developmental morphology during in vitro tuberization of Dioscorea alata (L.)

A developmental morphology study was performed during different stages of in vitro yam microtuber formation on both hormone-free medium (HF) and medium supplemented with 10 µM of jasmonic acid (JA). The axillary protuberance, considered as the first morphological evidence for microtuber formation, became visible after one-week of culture in JA-medium and after three weeks of culture in HF-medium. In addition, the formation of the axillary protuberance in JA-cultures preceded the stem elongation, whereas in HF-medium stem elongation was visible before the formation of the axillary protuberance. Tuberization improvement in medium supplemented with JA is likely to be the result of morphogenetic modifications occurring during the early stages of microtuber formation. At the molecular level, 2D-PAGE analysis of HF- and JA-cultures allowed the identification of four differentially expressed polypeptides, including two putative pathogenesis-related proteins and one putative glutathione S-transferase. For JA-cultures, three additional differentially expressed polypeptides were identified.
