激光诱导家蚕孤雌生殖的研究——Ⅴ.突变体蛹血酯酶同工酶的分析

试验用聚丙烯酰胺凝胶电泳,对激光诱导家蚕孤雌生殖新育成的突变体Lamp_1和Lamp_2蛹血EST同工酶进行了分析。结果说明这两个突变体是新突变体,客观存在的酶谱特征不同于未用激光照射的CK蚕种。

一个新水稻温敏感叶色突变体的遗传分析及其基因分子定位

在粳稻品种嘉花1号(Oryza sativa L. ssp. japonica ‘Jiahua No.1’)种子经⁶⁰Co γ射线辐照处理的后代中, 发现了1个低温敏感叶色突变体mr21。在较低温度(<25.0°C)条件下, 该突变体幼苗叶色呈黄色; 随着温度逐渐升高, 叶色由黄转绿,其临界温度约为27.5°C; 在低温条件下, 突变体幼苗总叶绿素含量以及叶绿素a、b的含量均较野生型嘉花1号明显下降, 表明该突变体的叶色性状具有明显的温敏感性。遗传分析表明, 该突变体叶色性状受1对隐性核基因控制, 暂将该突变基因命名为thermo-sensitive leaf-color 1(tsl-1)。以该突变体与籼稻9311(Oryza sativa L. ssp. indica ‘9311’)杂交的F₂代分离群体作为定位群体, 利用SSR分子标记将tsl-1基因初步定位在水稻(Oryza sativa)第1号染色体短臂上的MM1799与RM8132分子标记之间, 其遗传距离分别为2.4 cM和3.0 cM; 然后, 进一步利用扩大F₂代群体及新发展的分子标记将tsl-1基因定位在分子标记InDel2与InDel4之间的198 kb内。研究结果为今后对该基因的克隆和功能分析奠定了基础。     

丝胶预处理对糖尿病大鼠睾丸IGF-1表达的影响

目的探讨丝胶预处理对2型糖尿病大鼠睾丸胰岛素样生长因子-1(insulin-like growth factor-1,IGF-1)表达的影响。方法 30只雄性SD大鼠随机分为3组(n=10):正常对照组、糖尿病模型组和丝胶预处理组。链脲佐菌素连续腹腔注射制作2型糖尿病大鼠模型,以血糖≥16.7mmol/L作为成模标准;丝胶预处理组大鼠在注射链脲佐菌素前给予丝胶灌胃(2.4g/kg/d)35d。采用葡萄糖氧化酶法检测血糖,采用ELISA方法检测大鼠血清睾酮和IGF-1水平;分别采用免疫组化染色和RT-PCR法检测睾丸IGF-1蛋白和mRNA的表达。结果丝胶预处理可明显抑制糖尿病大鼠血糖升高,血清睾酮、IGF-1水平的降低,睾丸IGF-1表达的下降(丝胶预处理组与糖尿病模型组比较:P0.01)。结果 丝胶预处理可通过阻止糖尿病大鼠睾丸IGF-1表达的下调,改善生精功能,发挥对糖尿病生殖功能损害的预防保护作用。     

Status of water environment pollution in the Xixi Wetland and its ecological treatment countermeasures

In this paper,the water quality of the Xixi Wetland was evaluated and the characteristics of water pollution were described according to the survey data.Based on the status of water quality and its functional requirements as an urban wetland,biological-ecological countermeasures were suggested.The experimental use of ecological technologies,such as artificial wetlands,ecological aquiculture and artificial floating island,were done in several fish ponds in the Xixi Wetland.Water monitoring results show that the quality of the treated water has improved significantly and the measures to purify the eutrophic water in the wetland have been effective.     

Role of ERK/MAPK in endothelin receptor signaling in human aortic smooth muscle cells

Background  

Endothelin-1 (ET-1) is a potent vasoactive peptide, which induces vasoconstriction and proliferation in vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) through activation of endothelin type A (ET_A) and type B (ET_B) receptors. The extracellular signal-regulated kinase 1 and 2 (ERK1/2) mitogen-activated protein kinases (MAPK) are involved in ET-1-induced VSMC contraction and proliferation. This study was designed to investigate the ET_A and ET_B receptor intracellular signaling in human VSMCs and used phosphorylation (activation) of ERK1/2 as a functional signal molecule for endothelin receptor activity.     

The Origin of the White Roman Goose

In order to avoid interference from nuclear copies of mitochondrial DNA (numts), mtDNA of the white Roman goose (domestic goose) was extracted from liver mitochondria. The mtDNA control region was amplified using a long PCR strategy and then sequenced. Neighbor-joining, maximum parsimony, and maximum-likelihood approaches were implemented using the 1,177 bp mtDNA control region sequences to compute the phylogenetic relationships of the domestic goose with other geese. The resulting identity values for the white Roman geese were 99.1% (1,166/1,177) with western graylag geese and 98.8% (1,163/1,177) with eastern graylag geese. In molecular phylogenetic trees, the white Roman goose was grouped in the graylag lineage, indicating that the white Roman goose came from the graylag goose (Anser anser). Thus, the scientific name of the white Roman goose should be Anser anser ‘White Roman.’
