不同能量供需下雌性棕色田鼠胃运动的变化

用PowerLab/8sp生理信号采集分析系统记录哺乳雌鼠、禁食1d和3d雌鼠及正常对照雌鼠胃内压、胃收缩幅值及收缩频率,以研究在不同能量需求与供应状态下,棕色田鼠(Lasiopodomys mandarinus)胃运动的适应性变化。结果显示,禁食组和哺乳期雌鼠的胃内压及胃收缩幅值均显著高于正常对照雌鼠组(P0.05),禁食组胃内压、胃收缩幅值较哺乳组有所下降,且禁食3d组胃内压明显下降(P0.05)。说明在不同生理状态下,能量需求与供应不同,消化道活动发生适应性变化,且消化道生理功能变化与能量胁迫程度相关。     

Antifungal activity of essential oils against three vegetative-compatibility groups of <Emphasis Type="Italic">Verticillium dahliae</Emphasis>

The antifungal activities of volatile phase effects of essential oils from Origanum onites, O. syriacum, O. minutiflorum, O. vulgare, O, marjorana, Thymus vulgaris, T. serpyllum, Rosmarinus officinalis, Salvia officinalis and Micromeria fruticosa were evaluated for their ability to inhibit growth of three vegetative compatibility groups (VCGs) of Verticillium dahliae. Carvacrol was the main component of O. onites, O. minutiflorum and O. vulgare essential oils, while γ-terpinene was the main component of O. syriacum. P-cymene and thymol were the dominant component of T. vulgaris and T. serpyllum. β- thujone and l-camphor were the main component of S. officinalis. Polegone and isomenthone were the dominant components of M. fruticosa essential oil. Based on the in vitro test, the degree of fungistatical effects can be ranked in the following order of inhibition: O. syriacum = O. onites = O. minutiflorum = O. vulgare = T. vulgaris > T. serpyllum > M. fruticosa > S. officinalis = O. marjorana > R. officinalis. The essential oils of S. officinalis, O. marjorana and R. officinalis displayed moderate antifungal activity, that increased with increasing concentrations. Among the VCGs, VCG2A and VCG4B were found to be highly sensitive to the essential oils. The essential oils of O. syriacum, O. onites, O. minutiflorum, O. vulgare and T. vulgaris were the most efficacious, demonstrating strong antifungal activity against all of the tested VCGs of V. dahliae at relatively low concentrations and they could find practical application as natural fungicides in the prevention and protection of plants from V. dahliae infections.     

Genetic Structure of Brown Trout (Salmo trutta) Populations from Turkey Based on Microsatellite Data

This present study investigated micro- and macro-geographic microsatellite DNA variations using five polymorphic microsatellite loci from 27 brown trout populations in Turkey. Average number of alleles and average observed heterozygosity were 7.4 and 0.254, respectively. Even populations from the same sea basin and river system (the so called micro-geographic regions) had unique alleles. Genetic variation among the populations from macro-geographic regions (different sea basins and river systems) was 45.78%. The mtDNA lineages of brown trout that have previously been identified by mtDNA analyses were supported by the analysis of the microsatellite DNA data in general. The Çatak population, which belongs to the Tigris lineage, was clustered together with the Euphrates populations within the Adriatic mtDNA lineage, based on microsatellite data. Both mitochondrial and microsatellite DNA analyses have made it possible to determine a secondary contact between Adriatic and Tigris lineages.

省藤属11种棕榈藤亲缘关系的AFLP分析

分别对棕榈科11种省藤属植物的基因组总DNA进行EcoRⅠ+TaqⅠ与EcoRⅠ+PstⅠ限制性双酶切,采用AFLP标记技术分析其亲缘关系.用12对引物对11种棕榈藤的30个代表植株进行选择性扩增,共得到扩增谱带998条,其中多态条带981条,多态性带达98.3%.用MEGA 4.0软件中p-distance计算结果显示,11种棕榈藤30份样本间的遗传距离在0.050～0.391之间,平均为0.297;当遗传距离为0.15时,11种棕榈藤可聚为4个组;第Ⅰ组包括直立省藤、滇南省藤、杖藤、小省藤、勐腊鞭藤、长鞭藤、褐鞘省藤共7个种,第Ⅱ组仅有云南省藤1个种,第Ⅲ组由宽刺藤和泽生藤2个种构成,第Ⅳ组仅含省藤一种,可能为新种.AFLP检测结果表明,以形态特征为依据所划分的鞭轴亚属(Rhachicirrus)植物单独聚为一类;而原始省藤亚属(Protocalamus)和省藤亚属(Calamus)两个亚属的物种在整个聚类图上互相交叉渗透,各亚属植物未能独立成组;省藤亚属植物种之间遗传分化程度较高.因此,省藤属植物之间的亲缘关系和分亚属的标准、依据还需更深入地研究.     

FSH对腔前卵泡生长发育的影响

随着腔前卵泡体外培养体系的发展,对其影响因子的研究也逐渐深入,促性腺激素(FSH)在卵泡的生长和发育过程中发挥了重要的作用。本实验方法是以昆明小鼠为模型,机械分离并选择120~140μm的腔前卵泡,以添加10%血清和1%ITS的α-MEM为基础培养,分为正常添加FSH和不添加FSH组,以及在培养的0 d、2 d、4 d、6d、8 d添加FSH(100 mIU/ml)组,探讨腔前卵泡的生长发育情况。结果表明:正常添加组其卵泡的存活率、出腔率、GVBD率和2-cell胚胎率(78.7%、55.0%、35.0%和7.5%)显著高于培养液中未添加FSH的结果(分别为13.7%、8.8%、6.3%和0)(P<0.05);6 d之前添加FSH的培养组腔前卵泡能够正常生长和发育;2~4 d添加FSH可能更利于卵母细胞的成熟,以及E2的产生依赖于FSH的存在。     

重新评价G-480位点变异对Ⅰ型脊髓灰质炎疫苗病毒神经毒力的影响

在对分离于中国贵州省的9株Ⅰ型循环的疫苗衍生脊髓灰质炎病毒（cVDPVs）进行全基因组核苷酸序列分析后,发现已知最重要的决定病毒神经毒力的位点G-480和U-525并没有发生回复野生型突变;另外一些已知的神经毒力决定位点,如A-2438、A-2795、C-6203和G-7441等均已经发生了回复野生型突变。根据核苷酸序列的不同,从9株Ⅰ型cVDPVs毒株中选取5株病毒感染转人脊髓灰质炎病毒受体基因的小鼠进行神经毒力实验,发现它们的神经毒力都有所升高,其中CHN8184株和CHN8229-1．1株的神经毒力已经十分接近P1／Mahoney株,CHN8229-1．1株、CHN8229-2株和CHN8229-3株神经毒力依次递减,但仍处于较高水平,在它们的全基因组中分别只有7个和2个核苷酸的差异,而毒力却相差很多,提示有新的未鉴别的神经毒力决定位点的存在。对这些毒株5′非编码区（5′NCR）的第Ⅴ结构域进行二级结构预测,发现它们的二级结构很稳定。在G-480位点没有发生回复突变的情况下,部分毒株的神经毒力已经非常接近P1／Mahoney的水平,提示先前的研究中关于G-480突变对Ⅰ型脊髓灰质炎病毒神经毒力的作用可能被估计过高,G-480位点不是唯一重要的神经毒力决定位点,可能多个核苷酸联合突变才能达到减毒的效果。要真正全面了解P1／Sabin株的减毒机制,还需要进行更加深入的研究。     

明亮熊蜂繁育室内印度谷斑螟的形态特征与生物学特性

明亮熊蜂Bombus lucorum L.是一种重要的温室果菜传粉昆虫,印度谷斑螟Plodia interpunctella(Hbner)是危害明亮熊蜂繁育的主要害虫之一。2年的研究结果表明,印度谷斑螟的形态特征与危害蜜蜂巢房的大蜡螟Gallerie mellonellaL.和小蜡螟Achroia grisella Fabricius明显不同。印度谷斑螟以饲喂熊蜂的花粉为载体传播进熊蜂繁育室,在熊蜂繁育室内可以连续繁殖,1年发生6～8代,且世代重叠。印度谷斑螟幼虫主要以蜂群内的剩花粉为食,当花粉不足时,就开始取食巢房和蜂蛹,对熊蜂的规模化繁育危害较大,每年的5～8月、11～2月为危害高峰期。印度谷斑螟的发育受环境和食物的影响很大,在温度为28℃、相对湿度为60%熊蜂繁育室内,印度谷斑螟的卵期为4d,幼虫期为19～23d,蛹期为11d,成虫期为4～20d。成虫羽化后3～4h即可进行交配,雌蛾交配后当天就开始产卵,产卵期4～10d不等,平均产卵量107.8粒。在熊蜂繁育室消毒期间,食物短缺,印度谷斑螟幼虫进入休眠状态,各龄幼虫均可发生休眠现象。印度谷斑螟不危害蜜蜂,在蜜蜂巢房中不能存活。     

MTNR1a和MTNR1b基因在繁殖期与非繁殖期雄性高原鼢鼠HPG轴上的表达

高原鼢鼠 (Eospalax baileyi) 终年营地下生活,感光受洞道限制,但褪黑素 (Melatonin) 分泌水平仍存有季节差异,为探明褪黑素对高原鼢鼠季节性繁殖的调控作用,研究利用q?PCR技术检测雄性高原鼢鼠繁殖期 (5月) 和非繁殖期 (9月) 下丘脑、垂体及睾丸中褪黑素受体1a (Melatonin receptor 1a, MTNR1a) 和褪黑素受体1b (Melatonin receptor 1b, MTNR1b) 基因mRNA的相对表达量,通过免疫组织化学技术对MTNR1a和MTNR1b在睾丸中定位,并采用Image Pro Plus软件进行免疫组化阳性评价。结果发现,高原鼢鼠繁殖期下丘脑和垂体中MTNR1a基因的相对表达量显著高于非繁殖期的相对表达量 (P < 0.05),MTNR1b基因的相对表达量在不同时期无显著差异 (P > 0.05),但非繁殖期睾丸中MTNR1a和MTNR1b基因的相对表达量均显著高于繁殖期 (P < 0.01);繁殖期除长形精子外的所有类型细胞以及非繁殖期的间质细胞、支持细胞和精原细胞中均观察到MTNR1a的阳性信号,繁殖期除精原细胞和长形精子细胞外的所有类型细胞,以及非繁殖期间质细胞和支持细胞中均观察到MTNR1b的阳性信号,且非繁殖期MTNR1a和MTNR1b的平均光密度值均显著高于繁殖期 (P < 0.01)。MTNR1a和MTNR1b基因在雄性高原鼢鼠HPG轴上的表达模式,提示了褪黑素在其季节性繁殖调控中的潜在作用。     

The auxin response factor,OsARF19, controls rice leaf angles through positively regulating OsGH3‐5 and OsBRI1

Auxin and brassinosteroid (BR) are important phytohormones for controlling lamina inclination implicated in plant architecture and grain yield. But the molecular mechanism of auxin and BR crosstalk for regulating lamina inclination remains unknown. Auxin response factors (ARFs) control various aspects of plant growth and development. We here report that OsARF19‐overexpression rice lines show an enlarged lamina inclination due to increase of its adaxial cell division. OsARF19 is expressed in various organs including lamina joint and strongly induced by auxin and BR. Chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP) and yeast one‐hybrid assays demonstrate that OsARF19 binds to the promoter of OsGH3‐5 and brassinosteroid insensitive 1 (OsBRI1) directing their expression. OsGH3‐5‐overexpression lines show a similar phenotype as OsARF19‐O1. Free auxin contents in the lamina joint of OsGH3‐5‐O1 or OsARF19‐O1 are reduced. OsGH3‐5 is localized at the endoplasmic retieulum (ER) matching reduction of the free auxin contents in OsGH3‐5‐O1. osarf19‐TDNA and osgh3‐5‐Tos17 mutants without erected leaves show a function redundancy with other members of their gene family. OsARF19‐overexpression lines are sensitive to exogenous BR treatment and alter the expressions of genes related to BR signalling. These findings provide novel insights into auxin and BR signalling, and might have significant implications for improving plant architecture of monocot crops.
