百合属5种植物的比较转录组分析

百合属植物是多年生的宿根草本植物,具有重要的观赏价值,有的种可食用也可药用。本研究对百合属4种植物(细叶百合、川百合、卷丹和百合)花的转录组进行测序,并结合前期的野百合的转录组数据进行比较转录组分析,鉴别花发育相关基因。并筛选出5种植物的直系同源基因,进而检测正选择基因,分析它们对环境的适应性。通过组装分别在细叶百合、川百合、卷丹以及百合花中获得了44565、51413、41638和44716个unigene。为了了解unigene功能信息,将其在公共数据库中进行比对和注释,发现了13个花发育相关基因。另外,在5个物种间共获得8247对直系同源基因,并计算其Ka、Ks及Ka/Ks值。在5个物种中有33对直系同源基因受到了强烈的正选择作用,随后对其进行GO、KEGG功能富集分析及基因功能注释,发现这些基因主要是与抗性以及生物合成相关的基因。     

百合花香物质合成与调控机制研究进展

百合（Lilium spp.）原产于我国,在我国花卉产业中有着重要而特殊的地位。花香是其观赏性状的重要标签,已有研究结果表明,不同香型的百合主要花香成分差异较大,浓香型与淡香型百合的差异主要集中在萜烯类物质的不同,而采样时期、部位、环境、激素等均会导致花香成分变化。目前百合花香物质合成通路研究集中在萜烯合成通路上,多为萜烯合酶的功能研究及上游调控网络解析,而其他花香成分代谢途径基因的功能解析及分子调控机制的研究仍存在许多未解之谜。由于对百合花香合成及调控机制的解析不够全面与深入,难以支撑花香的精准改造,导致百合花香育种进程缓慢。深入挖掘与利用百合花香基因、完善相关代谢途径及调控网络可能会是百合花香的下一步研究重点。本文对百合花香的前期研究进行了回顾和总结,并对后期的研究方向提出展望,以期为后续百合花香分子调控机制研究提供参考,对定向培育香气怡人的百合新品种提供借鉴。     

新西兰岩石百合中两种共存的繁育策略：延迟自动自交和欺骗传粉吸引

延迟自动自交和欺骗传粉吸引在被子植物多数类群中有相关报道,但是至今没有发现两种繁育策略在同一物种中共存现象。本研究通过对照试验检测新西兰岩石百合雄蕊附属物和花冠闭合运动是否分别具有欺骗吸引和延迟自交功能。研究结果表明,新西兰岩石百合黄色的雄蕊附属物拟态花粉（或花药）,约93%的昆虫访花行为源自黄色花药附属物的欺骗吸引,雄蕊附属物的报酬拟态功能有效提高昆虫拜访频率并促进异交。同时,研究发现新西兰岩石百合花期结束时花瓣闭合促使雌雄隔离距离的缩小,花瓣自然闭合的花朵平均结籽数（20.62）显著高于闭合前去雄处理花朵（11.79）。我们的结果表明延迟自动自交与欺骗传粉吸引两种繁育策略在新西兰岩石百合中共存。

Testing the effects of diversity on ecosystem multifunctionality using a multivariate model

Most ecosystems provide multiple services, thus the impact of biodiversity losses on ecosystem functions may be considerably underestimated by studies that only address single functions. We propose a multivariate modelling framework for quantifying the relationship between biodiversity and multiple ecosystem functions (multifunctionality). Our framework consolidates the strengths of previous approaches to analysing ecosystem multifunctionality and contributes several advances. It simultaneously assesses the drivers of multifunctionality, such as species relative abundances, richness, evenness and other manipulated treatments. It also tests the relative importance of these drivers across functions, incorporates correlations among functions and identifies conditions where all functions perform well and where trade‐offs occur among functions. We illustrate our framework using data from three ecosystem functions (sown biomass, weed suppression and nitrogen yield) in a four‐species grassland experiment. We found high variability in performance across the functions in monocultures, but as community diversity increased, performance increased and variability across functions decreased.     

Further characterization of SOS system induction in recBC mutants of Escherichia coli

Expression of several SOS functions such as induction of lambda prophage, inhibition of cell division and induction of both umuC and recA genes after UV-irradiation, nalidixic acid or mitomycin C addition was studied in an RecBC- mutant. UV-irradiation and mitomycin C induced all SOS functions studied in the RecBC- cells but at a lower level and delayed with respect to the wild-type strain. On the contrary, nalidixic acid was unable to trigger any of these SOS functions. In the RecBC- mutant, adenine only had a stimulating effect on the amplification of RecA protein synthesis following UV-irradiation. Nevertheless, in the wild-type strain the stimulating effect occurred in all SOS functions studied following UV-irradiation as well as in the amplification of RecA protein synthesis by nalidixic acid but not in the other SOS functions triggered by this compound. Furthermore, adenine produced a decrease in the mitomycin C-mediated induction of all SOS functions studied in both RecBC- and wild-type strains.     

Tilt aftereffects generated by symmetrical dot patterns with two or four axes of symmetry

This paper follows from studies by Joung, van der Zwan and Latimer (2000) in which symmetrical dot patterns with one axis of symmetry were used to produce tilt aftereffects (TAEs). The present paper investigates TAE functions produced by symmetrical dot patterns with multiple axes of symmetry. In Experiments 1 and 2, TAE functions produced by dot patterns with two axes of symmetry were compared with TAE functions produced by line stimuli arranged in the same orientation and location as the axes of symmetry in the dot patterns. Similar functions were found. In Experiments 3 and 4, functions produced by dot patterns with four axes of symmetry were compared with functions produced by line stimuli arranged in the same orientation and location as the four axes of symmetry. Again, similar functions were found. These experiments demonstrate that line stimuli and dot stimuli produce similar TAE functions. The implications of these results are discussed.

Methodologies for predicting the expected combined stochastic radiobiological effects of different ionizing radiations and some applications

A methodology for predicting the expected combined stochastic radiobiological effects of sequential exposure to different ionizing radiations is used to arrive at a methodology for predicting the radiobiological effects of simultaneous exposure. Both methodologies require developing additive-damage dose-effect models. Additive-damage dose-effect models are derived assuming (a) each radiation comprised by the combined exposure produces initial damage called critical damage that could lead to the radiobiological effect of interest; (b) doses of different radiations that lead to the same level of radiobiological effect (or risk) can be viewed as producing the same amount of critical damage and being indistinguishable as far as the effects of subsequently administered radiation. Derived dose-effect functions that describe the risk per individual, conditional on radiation dose, are called risk functions. The methodologies allow the use of known radiation-specific risk functions to derive risk functions for combined effects of different radiations. The risk functions for combined exposure to different radiations are called global risk functions. For sequential exposures to different ionizing radiations, the global risk functions derived depend on how individual radiation doses are ordered. Global risk functions can also differ for sequential and simultaneous exposure. The methodologies are used to account for some previously unexplained radiobiological effects of combined exposure to high and low linear-energy-transfer radiations.     

Gap junction- and hemichannel-independent actions of connexins

Connexins have been known to be the protein building blocks of gap junctions and mediate cell-cell communication. In contrast to the conventional dogma, recent evidence suggests that in addition to forming gap junction channels, connexins possess gap junction-independent functions. One important gap junction-independent function for connexins is to serve as the major functional component for hemichannels, the un-apposed halves of gap junctions. Hemichannels, as independent functional units, play roles that are different from that of gap junctions in the cell. The other functions of connexins appear to be gap junction- and hemichannel-independent. Published studies implicate the latter functions of connexins in cell growth, differentiation, tumorigenicity, injury, and apoptosis, although the mechanistic aspects of these actions remain largely unknown. In this review, gap junction- and hemichannel-independent functions of connexins are summarized, and the molecular mechanisms underlying these connexin functions are speculated and discussed.     

Re-expression of hepatic functions in mouse hepatoma X rat hepatoma hybrids

Abstract. Neonatal hepatic functions are selectively extinguished in hybrids between mouse hepatoma cells, that express only fetal hepatic functions, and rat hepatoma cells expressing neonatal as well as fetal functions. A search for hybrid cells reexpressing these neonatal functions was undertaken to determine; (1) whether the selective extinction of neonatal functions is reversible and at what frequency, and (2) whether the reexpression of neonatal functions would be accompanied by modifications in the expression of fetal functions. The criterion used to obtain hybrids showing reexpression was glucose-free medium (G-) where growth requires the presence of the extinguished gluconeogenic enzymes. Even though the parental cells are of the same histotype it proved difficult to obtain re-expression. Survivors in G- were obtained only from hybrids containing a greater than Is complement of rat chromosomes; they reexpress not only gluconeogenic enzymes but also basal tyrosine aminotransferase activity, and the fetal hepatic function a-fetoprotein continues to be expressed in most of the clones. All survivors in G- display a significant loss of chromosomes and this loss concerns essentially mouse chromosomes.     

Use with caution: Developmental systems divergence and potential pitfalls of animal models

Transgenic animal models have played an important role in elucidating gene functions and the molecular basis development, physiology, behavior, and pathogenesis. Transgenic models have been so successful that they have become a standard tool in molecular genetics and biomedical studies and are being used to fulfill one of the main goals of the post-genomic era: to assign functions to each gene in the genome. However, the assumption that gene functions and genetic systems are conserved between models and humans is taken for granted, often in spite of evidence that gene functions and networks diverge during evolution. In this review, I discuss some mechanisms that generate functional divergence and highlight recent examples demonstrating that gene functions and regulatory networks diverge through time. These examples suggest that annotation of gene functions based solely on mutant phenotypes in animal models, as well as assumptions of conserved functions between species, can be wrong. Therefore, animal models of gene function and human disease may not provide appropriate information, particularly for rapidly evolving genes and systems.
