低能N^＋离子束注入香瓜种子引起的变异及后代基因组的RAPD分析

用低能N^ 离子束对香瓜种子进行不同能量和剂量组合的处理,从各处理组与对照组当代和第三代苗期形态特征观察,考种中发现：在一定能量和剂量组合下,处理组香瓜叶型和果肉厚度发生了明显的变化。这种形态学变化是可遗传的,应用随机引物扩增多态性DNA（Random amplified polymkorphicDNA即RAPD）技术分析对照组和注入低能N^ 离子束处理组的香瓜总DNA的结果显示：100种随机引物中的24种引物扩增出44条多态性片段,且其中一种引物所扩增的条带与叶型变化相连锁,表明低能N^ 注入香瓜种子可引起其基因组DNA发生变异,一定注入剂量和能量的组合,可导致特异性的变异。

低能离子束促进小麦copia-反转录转座子的转录与转座

LTR-反转录转座子是真核基因组重要的组成部分,能通过RNA中间体完成在基因组上的转座。小麦种子受低能氮离子束注入后能促进其反转录转座子的转录,经不同剂量的氮离子束注入的种子发芽24h和48h后,其中的copia-反转录转座子的转录都有不同程度的提高,最高可达到对照的40倍。用基于反转录转座子扩增多态性和反转录转座子微卫星扩增多态性2种分子标记技术扩增经低能氮离子注入后的小麦DNA,指纹图谱显示出了一定的多态性,这说明低能氮离子束激活了小麦中反转录转座子的转座活性。转座子转录活性的增强可调节其邻近基因的表达和mRNA的拼接,反转录转座子插入到基因组上新的位点后,使基因组上的基因发生了重排,这种重排可能表现为植物表型的改变。因此,推测反转录转座子的转录活性提高和转座激活是产生低能离子束注入生物效应的重要原因之一。     

离子束介导甘蓝全DNA转化拟南芥菜的分子分析

30 keV的Ar+离子束在1.5×1017 ions/cm2的注入剂量下介导外源甘蓝全DNA导入模式植物拟南芥菜,在94株转化当代植株中,有6株表型产生变异。以其中的一株(T-5)作为研究对象,用80条10碱基随机引物对该株和其子代变异株基因组作随机扩增的多态性DNA分析,引物S176 在T-5和其变异子代T-5-2中扩增出了相同分子量的变异新条带T-5S176-620。T-5S176-620的碱基序列和拟南芥菜基因组序列进行同源比对,结果表明该片段不属于拟南芥菜基因组,Southern杂交实验证明该片段来自供体甘蓝基因组。但是,根据T-5S176-620序列设计的引物不能从甘蓝基因组中扩增出预期长度的DNA片段,结合离子束介导外源全DNA转化的特点和过程,探讨了其中可能的机制。

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.
