Activation of highly specific biochemical processes by simple chemical agents is demonstrated for morphogenesis (anlage and development of female gametophyte in cereal) and mitosis (in cell cultures and animal and plant tissues). The effects of these agents are tissue-specific. Structure--activity relationship is analyzed in this group of compounds. Thus, the phenomenon reveals the exact pathways of the influence of allelopathic and anthropogenic chemical agents on evolution of plant biocenoses. 相似文献

We present two algorithms for calculating the quartet distance between all pairs of trees in a set of binary evolutionary trees on a common set of species. The algorithms exploit common substructure among the trees to speed up the pairwise distance calculations, thus performing significantly better on large sets of trees compared to performing distinct pairwise distance calculations, as we illustrate experimentally, where we see a speedup factor of around 130 in the best case. 相似文献

Gene regulatory divergence among species estimated by altered developmental patterns in interspecific hybrids 总被引:4,自引:0,他引:4
Disturbances in the schedules of gene expression in developing
interspecific fish hybrids have been used to draw inferences about the
extent of gene regulatory divergence between species and about the degree
to which this gene regulatory divergence is correlated with structural gene
divergence, as estimated by genetic distance. Sperm from each of 10
different species representing six genera within the family Centrarchidae
was used to fertilize eggs of the Florida largemouth bass (Micropterus
salmoides floridanus). The genetic distances (D; Nei 1978) between the
parental species used to form the hybrids ranged from 0.133 to 0.974. The
developmental success and temporal patterns of gene expression of each of
the hybrids were compared with those of the Florida largemouth bass. As the
genetic distance between the paternal species and the Florida largemouth
bass increased, there was a general decline in developmental success in the
hybrid embryos as demonstrated by the observed reductions in the percentage
of hatching and by progressively earlier and more extensive morphological
abnormalities. Concomitantly, progressively more marked alterations in
developmental schedules of expression of 15 enzyme loci occurred in the
hybrids as the genetic distance between parental species increased.
However, observed deviations from this trend for a few species may
represent an uncoupling of the rates and modes of evolution of structural
genes from those for genes regulating developmental processes.

Conserved sequence motifs, alignment, and secondary structure for the third domain of animal 12S rRNA 总被引:14,自引:3,他引:14

Secondary structure models are an important step for aligning sequences,
understanding probabilities of nucleotide substitutions, and evaluating the
reliability of phylogenetic reconstructions. A set of conserved sequence
motifs is derived from comparative sequence analysis of 184 invertebrate
and vertebrate taxa (including many taxa from the same genera, families,
and orders) with reference to a secondary structure model for domain III of
animal mitochondrial small subunit (12S) ribosomal RNA. A template is
presented to assist with secondary structure drawing. Our model is similar
to previous models but is more specific to mitochondrial DNA, fitting both
invertebrate and vertebrate groups, including taxa with markedly different
nucleotide compositions. The second half of the domain III sequence can be
difficult to align precisely, even when secondary structure information is
considered. This is especially true for comparisons of anciently diverged
taxa, but well-conserved motifs assist in determining biologically
meaningful alignments. Patterns of conservation and variability in both
paired and unpaired regions make differential phylogenetic weighting in
terms of "stems" and "loops" unsatisfactory. We emphasize looking carefully
at the sequence data before and during analyses, and advocate the use of
conserved motifs and other secondary structure information for assessing
sequencing fidelity.

Abstract A multidisciplinary field study investigating the fate and transport of petroleum hydrocarbons commonly associated with jet-fuel contamination is currently underway at Columbus Air Force Base (AFB), Mississippi. Sixty sediment cores from 12 boreholes were recovered from the study aquifer. The goal of this initial sampling was to characterize the potential microbial activity using 14C-labeled substrates, as well as the presence, abundance, and distribution of specific hydrocarbon degrading genotypes using DNA:DNA hybridization. Enumeration of total microbial abundance using a 16S rDNA universal oligonucleotide probe was compared to traditional enumeration methods. Total culturable populations determined by spread plate analysis ranged from a low of 10(4) to more than 10(6) organisms per gram sediment. Microbial abundance estimated by DNA hybridization studies with 16S rDNA genes ranged from 10(7) to 10(8) organisms per gram sediment. Molecular analysis of aquifer samples using DNA probes targeting genes encoding the degradative enzymes alkane hydroxylase (alkB), catechol 2,3-dioxygenase (nahH), naphthalene dioxygenase (nahA), toluene dioxygenase (todC1C2), toluene monooxygenase (tomA), and xylene monooxygenase (xylA), as well as two probes measuring methanogenic microorganisms, codh (carbon monoxide dehydrogenase) and mcr (methyl coenzyme reductase), revealed that each target gene sequence was present in nearly all 60 samples. The presence of organisms demonstrating the phenotype to degrade BTEX and naphthalene was further supported using mineralization assays with 14C-labeled benzene, toluene, naphthalene, and phenanthrene. Minimal activity occurred during the first 24 hours. After a period of 5-7 days, greater than 40% of the target compounds were mineralized in aquifer sediments. 相似文献

The occurrence and distribution of retrogradely labeled cells in the perihypoglossal nuclei of the monkey were mapped after injections of horseradish peroxidase in various cerebellar cortical regions. In general the findings are in accord with those made in the cat. The flocculus receives a heavy bilateral projection from the nucleus prepositus, particularly from its caudoventral part, and from the nucleus of Roller. There is an apparently scanty projection from the nucleus intercalatus. The uvula receives a rather similar projection, but in the prepositus the cells projecting to the uvula are on the whole situated more dorsally and rostrally than those supplying the flocculus. The projection to lobules VII-VIII is distinct. More scanty projections have been found to the paramedian lobule and the anterior lobe. The different but partially overlapping sites of origin in the prepositus of fibers to the flocculus and uvula indicate the presence of a topical pattern within the perihypoglosso-cerebellar projection, as in the cat (34). In the monkey the two regions of origin appear to coincide with two particular cell collections in the prepositus (12). Both small and middle sized cells project to the cerebellum, as they do in the cat (9, 48). The nucleus supragenualis nervi facialis in the macaque is morphologically different from the corresponding nucleus in most other mammalian species (12), but it contains labeled cells after injections in the flocculus, uvula and other cerebellar regions. A considerable number of cells in the abducent nucleus are labeled after injections in the flocculus and the posterior vermis. 相似文献
