一种筛选拟南芥突变体的有效方法

经甲基磺酸乙酯（EMS）诱变处理的拟南芥种子,接种于MS培养基上,垂直放置培养4天后,将幼苗转移至胁迫培养基中,以倒置幼苗180°所形成的弯曲生长根作为指标筛选拟南芥耐营养胁迫突变体。利用这种方法,成功地筛选到一个耐低钾的隐性单基因拟南芥突变体。本方法同样适用于其他类型突变体的筛选。 Abstract：his paper introduces a root-bending assay for isol ation of Arabidopsis mutants tolerant to nutrition stress. Seeds of wild-ty pe Arabidopsis thaliana (ecotype Landersberg erecta) were mutagenized wi th ethyl methyl sulfide (EMS),and M2 populations were screened for mutants. Fo ur-day-old seedlings with 1-to 1.5-cm-long roots were transferred from the vertical agar plates onto to a second agar medium that was supplemented with det erminate stress. The seedlings were arranged in rows, and the plates were orient ed vertically with the roots pointing upward. After another 4 days, the root be nding seedlings were selected for putative mutants and transferred to soil to gr ow to maturity.Seeds from the putative mutants were screened again to determine the true mutants.By using this root-bending assay we have isolated a low-K+-tolerant (lkt1) mutant which is caused by single recessive nuclear mutation. F or lkt1 mutant screening,K+concentration of the medium was 100μmol/L because root growth of wild type seedlings was completely inhibited at or below this con centration.This root-bending assay is also applicable to other type of Arabid opsis mutant isolation.

铜绿假单胞菌Las系统信号分子对小鼠巨噬细胞影响的体外研究

对于包括铜绿假单胞菌在内的众多微生物而言,群体感应系统是细菌表达毒力因子的重要调节子．Las和Rhl是群体感应两个主要组成部分．Las和Rhl分别受自诱导剂N-3-氧化十二烷酰基-L-高丝氨酸内酯(3-oxo-C₁₂-HSL)和N-丁酰-L-高丝氨酸内酯(C₄-HSL)的影响．最近的研究进展显示群体感应分子尤其是3-oxo-C₁₂-HSL具有调节宿主免疫系统的能力．本实验展示了3-oxo-C₁₂-HSL可以诱导鼠源巨噬细胞(RAW264.7)的凋亡和吞噬作用．把合成的3-oxo-C₁₂-HSL加入RAW264.7细胞培养基中,发现细胞生活力以一种依赖于3-oxo-C₁₂-HSL的浓度(6.25 to 100 μmol/L)和培养时间(2 to 24 h)的方式逐渐丢失．同样,我们观察到3-oxo-C₁₂-HSL的细胞毒活性,用3-oxo-C₁₂-HSL处理的细胞出现细胞形态上的改变,这一改变表明3-oxo-C₁₂-HSL处理的细胞加速凋亡,这一点同时也被其他多个标准(caspases3、8和9,线粒体膜电位,磷脂酰丝氨酸的表达)所证实．中性红吞饮实验证明,3-oxo-C₁₂-HSL会显著地减小RAW264.7细胞的吞噬能力(P < 0.05)．同时,高浓度的3-oxo-C₁₂-HSL会降低RAW264.7细胞对铜绿假单胞菌的吞噬作用(P < 0.001)．这些数据表明3-oxo-C₁₂-HSL能特异性地促进细胞凋亡的诱导和RAW264.7细胞吞噬能力的减小．这可能和3-oxo-C₁₂-HSL诱导的细胞毒性有关．最终我们的实验数据证明,群体感应信号分子3-oxo-C₁₂-HSL在铜绿假单胞菌感染的致病机理中扮演着重要的角色．

Signalling in Rhizobacteria-Induced Systemic Resistance in Arabidopsis thaliana

Abstract: To protect themselves from disease, plants have evolved sophisticated defence mechanisms in which the signal molecules salicylic acid, jasmonic acid and ethylene often play crucial roles. Elucidation of signalling pathways controlling disease resistance is a major objective in research on plant-pathogen interactions. The capacity of a plant to develop a broad spectrum, systemic acquired resistance (SAR) after primary infection with a necrotizing pathogen is well-known and its signal transduction pathway extensively studied. Plants of which the roots have been colonized by specific strains of non-pathogenic fluorescent Pseudomonas spp. develop a phenotypically similar form of protection that is called rhizobacteria-mediated induced systemic resistance (ISR). In contrast to pathogen-induced SAR, which is regulated by salicylic acid, rhizobacteria-mediated ISR is controlled by a signalling pathway in which jasmonic acid and ethylene play key roles. In the past eight years, the model plant species Arabidopsis thaliana was explored to study the molecular basis of rhizobacteria-mediated ISR. Here we review current knowledge of the signal transduction steps involved in the ISR pathway that leads from recognition of the rhizobacteria in the roots to systemic expression of broad-spectrum disease resistance in aboveground foliar tissues.     

The Arabidopsis ISR1 Locus is Required for Rhizobacteria-Mediated Induced Systemic Resistance Against Different Pathogens

Abstract: In Arabidopsis thaliana, non-pathogenic, root-colonizing Pseudomonas fluorescens WCS417r bacteria trigger an induced systemic resistance (ISR) that is phenotypically similar to pathogen-induced systemic acquired resistance (SAR). In contrast to SAR, WCS417r-mediated ISR is controlled by a salicylic acid (SA)-independent signalling pathway that requires an intact response to the plant hormones jasmonic acid (JA) and ethylene (ET). Arabidopsis accessions RLD1 and Ws-0 fail to express ISR against Pseudomonas syringae pv. tomato and show enhanced disease susceptibility to this pathogen. Genetic analysis of progeny from crosses between WCS417r-responsive and non-responsive accessions demonstrated that ISR inducibility and basal resistance against P. syringae pv. tomato are controlled by a single dominant locus (ISR1) on chromosome III (Ton et al., 1999^[294]). Here, we investigated the role of the ISR1 locus in ISR, SAR and basal resistance against three additional pathogens: Xanthomonas campestris pv. armoraciae, Peronospora parasitica and turnip crinkle virus (TCV), using accessions Col-0 (ISR1), RLD1 (isr1) and Ws-0 (isr1) as host plants.

After de-protections, the resulting demethylallosamidin-like pseudotrisaccharide was evaluated as an inhibitor against a couple of chitinases.

Plastid transformation in Arabidopsis thaliana

Plastid transformation is reported in Arabidopsis thaliana following biolistic delivery of transforming DNA into leaf cells. Transforming plasmid pGS31A carries a spectinomycin resistance (aadA) gene flanked by plastid DNA sequences to target its insertion between trnV and the rps12/7 operon. Integration of aadA by two homologous recombination events via the flanking ptDNA sequences and selective amplification of the transplastomes on spectinomycin medium yielded resistant cell lines and regenerated plants in which the plastid genome copies have been uniformly altered. The efficiency of plastid transformation was low: 2 in 201 bombarded leaf samples. None of the 98 plants regenerated from the two lines were fertile.

Prenylcysteine methylesterase in Arabidopsis thaliana

Prenylated proteins undergo a series of post-translational modifications, including prenylation, proteolysis, and methylation. Collectively, these modifications generate a prenylcysteine methylester at the carboxyl terminus and modulate protein targeting and function. Prenylcysteine methylation is the only reversible step in this series of modifications. However, prenylcysteine -carboxyl methylesterase (PCME) activity has not been described in plants. We have detected a specific PCME activity in Arabidopsis thaliana membranes that discriminates between biologically relevant and irrelevant prenylcysteine methylester substrates. Furthermore, we have identified an Arabidopsis gene (At5g15860) that encodes measurable PCME activity in recombinant yeast cells with greater specificity for biologically relevant prenylcysteine methylesters than the activity found in Arabidopsis membranes. These results suggest that specific and non-specific esterases catalyze the demethylation of prenylcysteine methylesters in Arabidopsis membranes. Our findings are discussed in the context of prenylcysteine methylation/demethylation as a potential regulatory mechanism for membrane association and function of prenylated proteins in Arabidopsis.
