Population structure analysis and association mapping of bacterial blight resistance in <Emphasis Type="Italic">indica</Emphasis> rice (<Emphasis Type="Italic">Oryza sativa</Emphasis> L.) accessions

Bacterial blight, caused by Xanthomonas oryzae pv. oryzae (Xoo), is a serious disease in rice production worldwide. To understand the genetic diversity of bacterial blight resistance a population consisting of 175 indica accessions from nine countries was collected and detected their association between SSR (Simple Sequence Repeat) markers and resistance to six bacterial races. The resistance phenotypes of various rice accessions were evaluated through artificial inoculation under controlled conditions in 2013 and 2014. Association analysis showed that 17 SSR markers were significantly associated with resistance to four bacterial races and the phenotypic variations explained (PVE) ranged from 7.43 to 15.05%. Among the 17 associated SSR markers, two SSR markers located in previously reported genes regions, and 15 SSR markers were newly identified in this study. These results validated a new approach to map resistance genes of rice to bacterial blight. These markers could be used for marker-assisted selection (MAS) in rice bacterial blight resistance breeding programs.

Immune Responses and Protective Efficacy Induced by 85B Antigen and Early Secreted Antigenic Target-6 kDa Antigen Fusion Protein Secreted by Recombinant Bacille Calmette-Guérin

In an attempt to improve immune responses and protective efficacy, we constructed two recombinant bacille Calmette-Guérin （rBCG） strains expressing an 85B antigen （Ag85B） and early secreted antigenic target-6 kDa antigen （ESAT6） of Mycobacterium tuberculosis （MTB） fusion protein. Both rBCG strains have the same protein insertion but in a different order （Ag85B-ESAT6 and ESAT6-Ag85B）. The cultured supernatant of rBCG strains and the sera from the mice immunized with the fusion protein Ag85B- ESAT6 or ESAT6-Ag85B formed a band with a fraction size of 37 kDa, equalivalent to the sum of Ag85B and ESAT6. Six weeks after BALB/c mice were immunized with BCG or rBCG, spleen lymphocytes showed significant proliferation in response to culture filtrate protein of MTB. Compared with the BCG group, mice vaccinated with rBCG elicited a high level increase of immunoglobulin G antibodies to culture filtrate protein in the serum. The T-interferon levels in the lymphocyte culture medium supernatants increased remarkably in the rBCG1 group, significantly higher than that of the BCG immunized group （P〈0.05）. Four weeks after vaccination, mice were infected with M. tuberculosis H37Rv and a dramatic reduction in the numbers of MTB colony forming units in the spleens and lungs was observed in the two rBCG immunization groups. Although these rBCG strains were more immunogenic, their protective effect was comparable to the classical BCG strain, and there were no significant differences between two rBCG groups （p〉0.05）.     

Minimizing pulling geometry errors in atomic force microscope single molecule force spectroscopy

In atomic force microscopy-based single molecule force spectroscopy (AFM-SMFS), it is assumed that the pulling angle is negligible and that the force applied to the molecule is equivalent to the force measured by the instrument. Recent studies, however, have indicated that the pulling geometry errors can drastically alter the measured force-extension relationship of molecules. Here we describe a software-based alignment method that repositions the cantilever such that it is located directly above the molecule's substrate attachment site. By aligning the applied force with the measurement axis, the molecule is no longer undergoing combined loading, and the full force can be measured by the cantilever. Simulations and experimental results verify the ability of the alignment program to minimize pulling geometry errors in AFM-SMFS studies.     

聚丙烯酰胺凝胶中DNA的银染方法

聚丙烯酰胶凝胶电泳具有极高的分辨率,用于DNA分析时,长度仅差0.2％（即对500bp样品中的1bp长度差异）也可以凝胶上分开,因此被广泛用于对DNA需要进行高分辨率分析的程序之中,直到目前为止它仍是DNA测序工作中DNA片段长度检测的主要手段。由于聚丙烯酰胺凝胶对荧光染料溴化乙锭的荧光有熄灭作用,EB染色法很难检测到少于10纳克的DNA条带,因此在传统的DNA测序工作中经常采用放射性同位素自显影方法来检测DNA带的位置,不但增加了实验成本,而且使操作本来就较为繁琐的聚丙烯酸胶凝胶电泳变得更加麻烦;利用荧光标记的方法虽然…     

酚类化合物代谢中受UV-C辐照调控的转录因子的筛选

SlPAL5基因是酚类化合物代谢的关键基因。UV-C辐照可以有效提高番茄果实中酚类化合物的含量。因此研究调控SlPAL5基因表达的转录因子,对于进一步阐明UV-C诱导番茄果实酚类化合物合成的调控机制具有重要意义。文中通过构建番茄酵母单杂交文库,利用酵母单杂交技术筛选调控酚类化合物合成关键基因SlPAL5表达的转录因子。通过测序和Blast同源性分析得到转录因子SlERF7,并证实SlERF7可以与SlPAL5的启动子相互作用。另外,UV-C辐照可以显著提高SlERF7的表达水平。结果表明受UV-C辐照诱导的SlERF7可能参与了SlPAL5的转录调控,为研究UV-C诱导番茄果实酚类化合物合成的调控机制提供了基础。

白僵菌施加对水稻三种抗氧化酶活力及叶际微生物多样性的影响

为了考察白僵菌使用后的生态安全性,研究了白僵菌施加对水稻3种保护酶活力及叶际微生物多样性的影响。使用荧光定量PCR对喷洒白僵菌孢子悬液的水稻叶际提取总DNA并进行荧光定量PCR扩增,发现白僵菌可以在水稻叶际残留达30 d之久,并且初始喷施浓度越大,衰减速率越高。与施加化学农药相比,施加白僵菌没有对水稻叶片的3种抗氧化酶活力带来不利影响。白僵菌处理组SOD、POD活力在第10天时高于对照组20.38%、8.65%,而CAT活力在第30天时最高高于对照组33.67%,在第30天时,化学农药导致CAT活力相比较对照组下降了42.71%。使用DGGE分析表明白僵菌对水稻叶际细菌、真菌微生物群落结构影响较小,并且白僵菌处理组微生物群落结构相似度、香农指数及条带数均较高。结果表明白僵菌是一种环境友好型的微生物农药。
