浙东白鹅催乳素基因表达特点

克隆了浙东白鹅催乳素基因(Prolactin, PRL)的全序列, 并应用荧光定量PCR技术研究了浙东白鹅在产蛋期、就巢期和恢复期时催乳素基因在下丘脑、垂体和卵巢中的表达特点。结果表明, 浙东白鹅催乳素基因在就巢期、产蛋期和恢复期的表达量差异显著(P < 0.05), 在就巢期表达量最高, 产蛋期次之, 恢复期表达量最低。对不同组织PRL的表达量分析, 发现在垂体与卵巢中的表达量、卵巢与下丘脑的表达量均有极显著的差异(P < 0.01), 但在垂体与下丘脑中的表达量差异不显著(P > 0.05), 在垂体表达量最多, 其次是下丘脑, 卵巢中的表达量最低。因此, 浙东白鹅PRL基因在不同繁殖时期体内表达差异较大。     

分子标记技术在入侵生态学研究中的应用

外来入侵物种给农林业生产造成了巨大的经济损失,并威胁生物多样性及人类健康．入侵生态学的研究对于认识外来入侵物种的入侵机制及其可持续控制具有重要意义．分子标记技术为解决入侵生态学研究中的许多基本问题提供了良好的手段．本文综述了该技术在外来入侵物种的鉴定、地理分布、原产地、传播模式、种群遗传变异、杂交及基因渗入等研究中的应用现状,并对其应用前景进行了展望．

地椒花蜜腺发育的解剖学观察

通过显微和亚显微观察对地椒花蜜腺的发育进行了研究。地椒花蜜腺位于子房基部的花盘上,属于盘状蜜腺,新鲜时呈绿色。蜜腺由分泌表皮和泌蜜组织组成,分泌表皮为一层细胞,表皮细胞角质膜较厚,表皮上分布着大量的气孔器,气孔器突出于表面;泌蜜组织细胞多层。花盘中央有维管束通向子房,在维管束和泌蜜组织之间有４￣５层大型的薄壁细胞。蜜腺由花盘的表皮及其内侧相邻的细胞发育而来,在发育过程中,其细胞中的液泡和贮藏的淀粉     

萝卜抗真菌蛋白1（Rs-AFP1)在大肠杆菌中的融合表达 及其对大丽轮枝菌抑制活性的研究

The Raphanus sativus L. antifungal protein 1 (Rs-AFP1) gene was isolated by polymerase chain reaction (PCR). The complete open reading frame and the fragment encoding the putative mature protein were inserted into the prokaryotic expression vector pET-32b(+), respectively. Subsequent expression showed that the Rs-AFP1 was produced in E. coli as a 27 kD fusion protein only when the N-terminal signal peptide was removed. After treatment with thrombin to remove part of the N-terminal His.tag sequence, the bacterially expressed Rs-AFP1 was used for fungal growth inhibition assay which was conducted on Verticillium dahliae Kleb., a soil-born fungus causing the cotton wilt disease. Results showed that, in the liquid medium, the Rs-AFP1 fusion protein at a concentration of 0.3 g/L clearly inhibited the growth of V. dahliae and the germination of spores. Thus the bacterially expressed fusion protein had the antifungal activity against V. dahliae.

Ultrastructural Studies on the Development of Oil Cells in Litsea pungens

The developmental process of oil cells in the shoot of Litsea pungens Hemsl. has been studied with transmission electron microscopy. According to the development of the three layers of cell wall, the developmental process could be divided into 4 stages. In stage 1, the cell wall consisted only of a primary (the outmost) cellulose layer, which might further be divided into two substages, the oil cell initial, and the vacuolizing oil cell. During this stage, there were some small electron translucent vesicles and dark osmiophilic droplets of variant sizes in the different-shaped plastids. It was observed that some dark and gray osmiophilic materials coalesced to vacuoles in the cytoplasm. In stage 2, a lamellated suberin layer accumulated inside the primary cellulose layer. In stage 3, a thicker and looser inner cellulose wall layer was formed gradually inside the suberin layer. Some dark osmiophilic droplets have been observed in this loose inner cellulose wall layer. The plasmodesmata were blocked up and became a special structure. Then, the big vacuole, which is the oil sac, was full of osmiophilic oil. In stage 4, the oil cell became matured and the cytoplasm disintegrated. The oil sac enveloped from plasmalemma was attached to the cupule, which was formed by the protuberance of the inner cellulose wall layer into the lumen. After the maturity of oil cell, the ground cytoplasm began to disintegrate and became electron opaque or exhibited in a disordered state, and the osmiophilic oil appeared light gray.
