During early development, elevated temperatures have deleterious effects on embryonic viability and development. The primary objective of the current study was to determine the ontogeny of induced thermotolerance during early murine embryonic development. Embryos were either retrieved from superovulated ICR female mice at the 2 cell and 4 cell stages and cultured thereafter or were retrieved from oviducts or uterine horns at the desired stage of development. Induction of thermotolerance was detected by evaluating viability and further development after embryos were exposed to homeothermic temperature (37°C), mild heat shock (40°C for 1 h), severe heat shock (42°C for 1 h or 43°C for 2 h), or mild heat shock followed by severe heat shock (to induce thermotolerance). Induction of thermotolerance was observed beginning at the 8 cell stage when embryos were developed in culture from the 2 cell to 4 cell stage. When embryos were developed in vivo (i.e., were retrieved from the reproductive tract at the desired stage of development), thermotolerance was not induced until the blastocyst stage of development. The induction of thermotolerance was dependent on serum supplementation since induction of thermotolerance was not observed when embryos were placed in medium without serum. Induced thermotolerance could also be demonstrated in bovine blastocysts. In conclusion, embryos acquire the ability to undergo thermotolerance as they progress through development. The timing of processes leading to acquisition of thermotolerance can, however, be hastened by exposure of embryos to in vitro conditions. 相似文献

Microbes that are beneficial to plants are used to
enhance the crop growth, yield and are alternatives to chemical
fertilizers. Trichoderma and Bacillus are the predominant plant
growth-promoting fungi and bacteria. The objective of this study
was select, characterize, and evaluate isolates of Trichoderma
spp. and Bacillus spp. native from the northern region of Sinaloa,
Mexico, and assess their effect on growth promotion in maize (Zea
mays L.). In greenhouse conditions, four Trichoderma isolates and
twenty Bacillus isolates, as well as two controls, were tested in a
completely randomized design with three replicates. We selected
the two best strains of Trichoderma and Bacillus: TB = Trichoderma
asperellum, TF = Trichoderma virens, B14 = Bacillus cereus sensu
lato and B17 = Bacillus cereus, which were evaluated in the field in
a completely randomized blocks in factorial arrangement design
with three replicates applying different rates of nitrogen fertilizer
(0, 150 kg N/ha, and 300 kg N/ha). Treatments 5 (B17 = B. cereus)
and 11 (TF = T. virens) both fertilized with 150 kg N/ha showed
similar yields and they did not reveal significant differences from
the treatments fertilized with 300 kg N/ha. This indicated that
treatment 5 (B17= B. cereus with 150 kg N/ha) and treatment
11 (TF= T. virens with 150 kg N/ha) were efficient as growth
promoters, by not showing significant differences in root volume
and dry weight of foliage. The results indicated a reduction of 50%
in the rate of nitrogen to fertilizer required for maize (Zea mays
L.) crops. These microorganisms Trichoderma and Bacillus could
be an alternative to reduce the use of chemical fertilizers in maize. 相似文献

The method of affinity coelectrophoresis was used to study the binding of
nine representative glycosaminoglycan (GAG)-binding proteins, all thought
to play roles in nervous system development, to GAGs and proteoglycans
isolated from developing rat brain. Binding to heparin and non-neural
heparan and chondroitin sulfates was also measured. All nine
proteins-laminin-1, fibronectin, thrombospondin-1, NCAM, L1, protease
nexin-1, urokinase plasminogen activator, thrombin, and fibroblast growth
factor-2-bound brain heparan sulfate less strongly than heparin, but the
degree of difference in affinity varied considerably. Protease nexin-1
bound brain heparan sulfate only 1.8- fold less tightly than heparin
(Kdvalues of 35 vs. 20 nM, respectively), whereas NCAM and L1 bound heparin
well (Kd approximately 140 nM) but failed to bind detectably to brain
heparan sulfate (Kd>3 microM). Four proteins bound brain chondroitin
sulfate, with affinities equal to or a few fold stronger than the same
proteins displayed toward cartilage chondroitin sulfate. Overall, the
highest affinities were observed with intact heparan sulfate proteoglycans:
laminin-1's affinities for the proteoglycans cerebroglycan (glypican-2),
glypican-1 and syndecan-3 were 300- to 1800-fold stronger than its affinity
for brain heparan sulfate. In contrast, the affinities of fibroblast growth
factor-2 for cerebroglycan and for brain heparan sulfate were similar.
Interestingly, partial proteolysis of cerebroglycan resulted in a >400-
fold loss of laminin affinity. These data support the views that (1)
GAG-binding proteins can be differentially sensitive to variations in GAG
structure, and (2) core proteins can have dramatic, ligand-specific
influences on protein-proteoglycan interactions.

The effect of relaxed functional constraints on the photosynthetic gene rbcL in photosynthetic and nonphotosynthetic parasitic plants 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
The photosynthetic gene rbcL has been lost or dramatically altered in some
lineages of nonphotosynthetic parasitic plants, but the dynamics of these
events following loss of photosynthesis and whether rbcL has sustained
functionally significant changes in photosynthetic parasitic plants are
unknown. To assess the changes to rbcL associated with the loss of
functional constraints for photosynthesis, nucleotide sequences from
nonparasitic and parasitic plants of Scrophulariales were used for
phylogeny reconstruction and character analysis. Plants in this group
display a broad range of parasitic abilities, from photosynthetic
("hemiparasites") to nonphotosynthetic ("holoparasites"). With the
exception of Conopholis (Orobanchaceae), the rbcL locus is present in all
parasitic plants of Scrophulariales examined. Several holoparasitic genera
included in this study, including Boschniakia, Epifagus, Orobanche, and
Hyobanche, have rbcL pseudogenes. However, the holoparasites Alectra
orobanchoides, Harveya capensis, Harveya purpurea, Lathraea clandestina,
Orobanche corymbosa, O. fasciculata, and Striga gesnerioides have intact
open reading frames (ORFs) for the rbcL gene. Phylogenetic hypotheses based
on rbcL are largely in agreement with those based on sequences of the
nonphotosynthetic genes rps2 and matK and show a single origin of
parasitism, and loss of photosynthesis and pseudogene formation have been
independently derived several times in Scrophulariales. The mutations in
rbcL in nonparasitic and hemiparasitic plants would result in largely
conservative amino acid substitutions, supporting the hypothesis that
functional proteins can experience only a limited range of changes, even in
minimally photosynthetic plants. In contrast, ORFs in some holoparasites
had many previously unobserved missense substitutions at functionally
important amino acid residues, suggesting that rbcL genes in these plants
have evolved under relaxed or altered functional constraints.

Tools and methods for analyzing differences in embryos resulting from somatic cell nuclear transfer (NT) in comparison to
those derived from normal fertilization are needed to define better the nature of the nuclear reprogramming that occurs after
NT. To this end, a collection of bovine blastocyst-derived cell lines was created. In vitro expanded or hatched blastocysts,
used as primary culture tissue, were from NT; in vitro maturation, fertilization, and culture (IVF); or parthenogenetic (P)
activation. Also, five in vivo-fertilized and developed blastocysts were collected by uterine flushing on the eighth d postfertilization.
Whole blastocysts were physically attached to STO feeder layers to initiate all of the cell lines generated. The majority
of the cell lines in the collection are trophectoderm, 38 NT-derived, 6 in vivo-derived, 20 IVF-derived, and 13 P-derived.
Trophectoderm identity was ascertained by morphology and, in many cases, interferon-tau production. Several visceral endoderm
cell lines and putative parietal endoderm cell lines were also established. At approximately 5% efficiency, epiblast masses
from NT and IVF blastocysts survived and were isolated in culture. Two epiblast masses were also isolated from P blastocysts.
Spontaneous differentiation from the epiblast outgrowths resulted in the establishment of fibroblast cell lines. The use of
the trophectoderm cell lines as a comparative in vitro model of bovine trophectoderm and placental function is discussed in
relation to NT reprogramming. 相似文献
