基于psbA-trnH序列变异分析川明参属亲缘关系及分类地位

采用PCR直接测序法对伞形科(Apiaceae)前胡族(Trib.Peucedaneae)种类川明参(Chuanminshen violaceum Sheh et Shan)、泰山前胡〔Peucedanum wawrae(H.Wolff)Su〕和华中前胡(P.medicum Dunn)以及美味芹族(Trib.Smyrnieae)种类明党参(Changium smyrnioides H.Wolff)、宝兴棱子芹(Pleurospermum davidii Franch.)、丽江棱子芹(P.foetens Franch.)和鸡冠棱子芹(P.cristatum de Boiss.)的叶绿体基因组psbA-trnH片段进行了扩增测序,获得的序列已提交至GenBank,登录号为KF557756—KF557762。结合引自GenBank的前胡族阿魏属(Ferula Linn.)1种、大瓣芹属(Semenovia Regel et Herder)1种、当归属(Angelica Linn.)2种和美味芹族的舟瓣芹属(Sinolimprichtia H.Wolff)1种、羌活属(Notopterygium de Boiss.)1种、瘤果芹属(Trachydium Lindl.)1种以及针果芹族(Trib.Scandicineae)刺果芹〔Turgenia latifolia(Linn.)Hoffm.〕的psbA-trnH片段序列,对各种类的psbA-trnH片段信息进行分析;并以刺果芹为外类群构建了MP、ML和BI系统发育树。结果表明:川明参和明党参的psbA-trnH片段长度均为258 bp、GC含量均为23%,而其他种类的psbA-trnH片段长度为228~405 bp、GC含量为26%~35%;排序后psbA-trnH序列总长度为553 bp(包括空位),其中变异位点237个、信息位点178个。川明参与明党参间的相对遗传距离最小(仅为0.02),而川明参与其他种类间的相对遗传距离为0.10~1.34,且总体上川明参与美味芹族种类的相对遗传距离较小,表明川明参与明党参及美味芹族种类的亲缘关系较近。在3类系统树上,川明参与明党参均聚在一起,并与美味芹族的属种聚为一大支,而远离由前胡族属种构成的另一大支。结合外部形态和果实解剖结构特征,建议将川明参属(Chuanminshen Sheh et Shan)从前胡族中分出并置于美味芹族中,与明党参属(Changium H.Wolff)为姐妹类群。

横断山区伞形科4种7个居群植物的核型研究

对横断山区伞形科棱子芹属2种植物(松潘棱子芹Pleurospermum franchetianumHemsl.和西藏棱子芹Pleurospermum hookeriC.B.Clarke var.thomsoniiC.B.Clarke)和茴芹属2种植物(异叶茴芹Pimpinella diversi-foliaDC.和锐叶茴芹Pimpinella argutaDiels)共7个居群进行体细胞染色体数目观察和核型比较分析,结果表明,棱子芹属和茴芹属植物属内种间染色体基数存在差异,其中松潘棱子芹为2n=2x=18=16sm 2st,西藏棱子芹为2n=2x=22=16m 6sm;茴芹属光果组中锐叶茴芹为2n=2x=22=22m,毛果组中异叶茴芹为2n=18=18st或2n=18=2sm 16st.松潘棱子芹、西藏棱子芹、锐叶茴芹的染色体数目和核型均为首次报道,从而为棱子芹属和茴芹属的分类和演化研究提供细胞学依据.     

中国特有植物南竹叶环根芹的核型

对我国特有属环根芹属的南竹叶环根芹（Cyclorhiza peucedanifolia(Franch.) Constance）进行细胞学研究,报道了其染色体数目为22,核型为2n＝22=10m+12sm,核型为Stebbins的2A型。并根据伞形科已有的细胞学资料认为该种与环根芹（C. waltonii）作为同属植物是合适的,而且该属与美味芹族的凹乳芹属近缘。     

伞形科囊瓣芹属的表型分析

选取伞形科(Apiaceae)囊瓣芹属(Pternopetalum Franchet)32个分类群的60个形态学性状,利用DELTA系统的UPGMA算法进行了聚类分析。结果表明属下形成以五匹青(P.vulgare(Dunn)Hand.-Mazz.)和东亚囊瓣(P.tanakae(Franchet&Sav.)Hand.-Mazz.)为代表的两个主要表征群。两个主要表征群的分类结构和各自所包含的类群基本相应于前人研究中本属两个组的属下处理。根据全面相似性分析的结果和部分形态学特征的评估,确认了属下6个种的复合群:即五匹青、囊瓣芹(P.davidii Franchet)、散血芹(P.botrychioides(Dunn)Hand.-Mazz.)、洱源囊瓣芹(P.molle(Franchet)Hand.-Mazz.)、澜沧囊瓣芹(P.de-lavayi(Franchet)Hand.-Mazz.)和东亚囊瓣芹复合群。根据形态学特征在表型树上的分布分析表明:伞形花序的着生位置、花柱的形态、花柱基的形状和萼齿的大小等生殖特征可能是属下早期分化的关键性性状。属下主要变异类型(种的复合群和典型狭域特有种)对不同海拔区域和小生境的依赖,以及不显著的形态学分化表明:对横断山区较高的异质性生境的生态适应是囊瓣芹属类群多样化过程后期的一个重要特征。     

伞形科棱子芹属部分种类果实结构的比较解剖学研究

采用石蜡切片法对伞形科(Apiaceae)棱子芹属(PleurospermumHoffm.)的宝兴棱子芹〔P.benthamii(Wall.ex DC.)Clarke〕和松潘棱子芹(P.franchetianumHemsl.)、西藏棱子芹(P.hookeriClarke var.thomsoniiClarke)和太白棱子芹(P.giraldiiDiels)、康定棱子芹(P.prattiiWolff)和瘤果棱子芹(P.wrightianumde Boiss.)的果实横切面的解剖结构特征进行了详细观察和比较分析。结果表明:6种植物虽然在外部形态上两两相似,但彼此间的果实解剖结构特征却存在一定的差异。共同特征是果棱均比较发达,且外果皮与中果皮分离,常形成空腔,每个果棱有1个明显的维管束,中果皮高度退化,果壁均很薄,棱槽和合生面均有油管,其中合生面油管数为棱槽油管数的2倍;差异主要表现在果实横切面外形、果体的压扁程度、果棱的发达程度、外果皮拱起程度及角质层的有无和厚度、维管束大小和着生位置、棱槽油管数以及合生面与侧棱的关系等方面。根据观察结果认为康定棱子芹与瘤果棱子芹不宜合并,建议将西藏棱子芹与太白棱子芹予以合并。

中国棱子芹属植物叶表皮微形态特征及其系统学研究

采用光学显微镜和扫描电镜对棱子芹属(Pleurospermum)11种植物的叶表皮微形态特征进行了观察研究.结果表明:(1)显微观察显示,气孔器普遍存在于叶的下表皮.少数种的上表皮也有分布,多为无规则型;叶表皮细胞形状为多边型或不规则形.垂周壁式样可区分为近平直、平直-弓形、浅波状和波状.(2)扫描电镜观察显示,叶表皮气孔器外拱盖内缘为近平滑、浅波状或波状;角质膜条纹状,有的条纹隆起,有的条纹上附有颗粒和晶簇.(3)气孔器的分布、气孔器外拱盖内缘形态以及角质膜等特征对该属部分种的区分有一定的参考价值.(4)结合外部形态特征,推测康定棱子芹应作为种一级分类群.松潘棱子芹与宝兴棱子芹的亲缘关系比较近.     

Numerical classification of 280 strains of slowly growing mycobacteria. Proposal of Mycobacterium tuberculosis series, Mycobacterium avium series, and Mycobacterium nonchromogenicum series

Numerical classification of 280 strains of slowly growing mycobacteria was carried out by testing each strain for 76 characters. The following fourteen clusters were observed: 1. M. tuberculosis, M. bovis, M. africanum, and M. microti; 2. M. haemophilum; 3. M. ulcerans; 4. M. xenopi; 5. M. kansasii; 6. M. szulgai; 7. M. gordonae; 8. M gastri; 9. M. avium, M. intracellulare, M. scrofulaceum, and M. asiaticum; 10. M. marinum; 11. M. simiae; 12. M. nonchromogenicum, "M. novum," M. terrae, and M. triviale; 13 M. malmoense; 14. M. shimoidei. The clusters composed of M. tuberculosis, M. bovis, M. africanum, and M. microti, of M. avium, M. intracellulare, M. scrofulaceum, and M. asiaticum, and of M. nonchromogenicum, "M. novum," M. terrae, and M. triviale appeared to be reduced to a single species each. The names having priority for each species should be M. tuberculosis, M. avium, and M nonchromogenicum, respectively. However, the clusters may, in practice, be called the M. tuberculosis series (complex), the M. avium series (complex), and the M. nonchromogenicum series (complex). The type species of these series are M. tuberculosis, M. avium, and M. nonchromogenicum, respectively. These series were characterized in this study.     

Modulation of macrophage subtypes by IRF5 determines osteoclastogenic potential

Bone-resorbing osteoclasts are differentiated from macrophages (MΦ) by M-CSF and RANKL. MΦ can be mainly classified into M1 and M2 MΦ, which are proinflammatory and anti-inflammatory, respectively, but little is known about their osteoclastogenic potential. Here, we investigated the osteoclastogenic potential of MΦ subtypes. When the two MΦ subtypes were differentiated into osteoclasts using M-CSF and RANKL, M2 MΦ more potently differentiated into osteoclasts than M1 MΦ. M2 MΦ generated with IL-4 or IL-10 also showed enhanced osteoclast differentiation compared with M1 MΦ induced by IFN-γ and lipopolysaccharide. In addition, robust bone-resorptive capacity and giant actin rings, which are features of mature osteoclasts, were observed in M2, but not M1 MΦ, under the osteoclast differentiation condition. Osteoclast differentiation was significantly increased in CD206⁺ M2 MΦ but not in CD86⁺ M1 MΦ. Compared with M1 MΦ, c-Fms and RANK were highly expressed in M2 MΦ. Enhanced osteoclastogenesis of M2 MΦ was mediated through sustained ERK activation, followed by efficient c-Fos and NFATc1 induction. Notably, the osteoclastogenic potential of M1 MΦ converted into M2 MΦ by exposure to M-CSF was higher than that of M2 MΦ converted into M1 MΦ by exposure to GM-CSF. Silencing IRF5, which is responsible for M1 MΦ polarization, increased osteoclast differentiation by enhancing c-Fms expression and activation of ERK, c-Fos, CREB, and NFATc1, which was inhibited by overexpression of IRF5. Collectively, M2 MΦ are suggested to be more efficient osteoclast precursors than M1 MΦ because of the attenuated expression of IRF5.

Occurrence of RD9 region and 500 bp fragment among clinical isolates of Mycobacterium tuberculosis and Mycobacterium bovis

The present investigation dealt with the identification of Mycobacterium tuberculosis and M. bovis by RD9 region and 500 bp fragment PCR assays. Eight M. tuberculosis and 5 M. bovis characterized and identified from 40 human sputum and 41 bovine lung specimens and 20 M. tuberculosis and 9 M. bovis strains maintained at Mycobacteria Laboratory, Indian Veterinary Research Institute were included in this study. In this way, 28 M. tuberculosis and 14 M. bovis strains and, for comparison and control purpose, M. tuberculosis H37Rv, M. bovis BCG, M. canetti, M. smegmatis, M. phlei, M. chelonae, M. kansasii, M. xenopi and M. avium were subjected to RD9 and 500 bp amplification by PCR. All M. tuberculosis strains, M. tuberculosis H37 Rv and M. canetti yielded a product of 333 bp which showed presence of RD9 region in these strains, whereas all M. bovis yielded a product of 206 bp with RD9 PCR assay. There was no ampli-fication product found in M. bovis BCG, M. xenopi, M. smegmatis, M. phlei, M. chelonae, M. kansasii, and M. avium. PCR based on 500 bp fragment showed a product of 500 bp in all M. bovis strains and M. bovis BCG. There was no amplification product of 500 bp found in M. canetti, M. smegmatis, M. phlei, M. chelonae, M. avium, M. kansasii, M. xenopi and was absent in all M. tuberculosis strains. The PCR assay results correlated 100% with the culture and biochemical results of the isolates. Our study suggested that PCR based on RD9 and 500 bp may effectively identify two closely related species of M. tuberculosis and M. bovis.     

AFLP analysis of the genetic diversity of Meloidogyne chitwoodi and M. fallax, major agricultural pests

M. chitwoodi and M. fallax populations are clustered and separated from the other species studied. The genetic diversity observed for M. incognita, M. arenaria, M. javanica, M. hapla, and M. mayaguensis correlates well with the previously validated species. Two main groups can be identified within the M. chitwoodi/M. fallax cluster, the first group comprises only M. chitwoodi populations whereas the second group is made of M. chitwoodi and M. fallax populations. Moreover, M. chitwoodi displays a higher genetic diversity than M. fallax and is characterised by the presence of several clusters.     

DNA hybridization analysis of mycobacterial DNA using the 18-kDa protein gene of Mycobacterium leprae

Abstract DNA hybridization studies using a 611-base pair (bp) probe, encoding the entire 18-kDa protein of Mycobacterium leprae , demonstrated that M. simiae, M. intracellulare, M. kansasii, M. terrae , ADM-2, M. avium, M. scrofulaceum, M. gordonae and M. chelonei appear to posses DNA sequences homologous to the 18-kDa protein gene of M. leprae . RFLP analysis revealed that the restriction sites in the M. leprae 18-kDa gene were not conserved in the putative gene homologs of M. simiae and M. intracellulare . The restriction patterns observed with the 611-bp probe were useful in differentiating M. intracellulare, M. simiae , and M. leprae from each other, as well as in distinguishing strains of M. simiae serovar 1. Finally, the presence of homologous sequences in various mycobacteria did not affect the specificity of a previously described PCR test for detection of M. leprae , based on the M. leprae 18-kDa protein gene.
