Aims
To survey the occurrence of nodulated legumes in the arid and semi-arid areas of Western Rajasthan and to characterize their associated symbiotic bacteria.Methods
Herbaceous annual species were excavated whole, while tree species were studied as seedlings in the field or as trap plants in pot experiments. Nodules were examined by microscopy to confirm their effectiveness and to determine their internal structure. Bacteria isolated from the nodules were authenticated on their original hosts and were identified on the basis of 16S rRNA sequencing. Phylogenetic trees were inferred using the neighbour-joining method.Results
We studied 35 of more than 50 species of native legume reported from these areas. Legumes are drought escaping (annual species), drought tolerant perennials or trees possessing deep root systems and other adaptations to arid conditions. Nodulation was recorded in all members of the Papilionoideae and Mimosoideae, but only one species of Caesalpinioideae. Internal structure of nodules varied within these groups, especially with respect to the presence or absence of uninfected cells in the infected region. Full 16S rRNA gene sequencing revealed that the nodules harboured a range of nodulating bacteria belonging to the genera Sinorhizobium, Rhizobium and Bradyrhizobium, within which they formed separate sub clades.Conclusions
This study extends the range of legumes known to grow and nodulate in semi-arid regions, and provides information about their endosymbionts. 相似文献24.

Ensifer sp. TW10 is a novel N2-fixing bacterium isolated from a root nodule of the perennial legume Tephrosia wallichii Graham (known locally as Biyani) found in the Great Indian (or Thar) desert, a large arid region in the northwestern part of the Indian subcontinent. Strain TW10 is a Gram-negative, rod shaped, aerobic, motile, non-spore forming, species of root nodule bacteria (RNB) that promiscuously nodulates legumes in Thar Desert alkaline soil. It is fast growing, acid-producing, and tolerates up to 2% NaCl and capable of growth at 40oC. In this report we describe for the first time the primary features of this Thar Desert soil saprophyte together with genome sequence information and annotation. The 6,802,256 bp genome has a GC content of 62% and is arranged into 57 scaffolds containing 6,470 protein-coding genes, 73 RNA genes and a single rRNA operon. This genome is one of 100 RNB genomes sequenced as part of the DOE Joint Genome Institute 2010 Genomic Encyclopedia for Bacteria and Archaea-Root Nodule Bacteria (GEBA-RNB) project. 相似文献

The purpose of this study was to investigate the association between physical fitness and mild cognitive impairment (MCI) in elderly Koreans. This was a cross-sectional study that involved 134 men and 299 women aged 65 to 88 years. Six senior fitness tests were used as independent variables: 30 s chair stand for lower body strength, arm curl for upper body strength, chair-sit-and-reach for lower body flexibility, back scratch for upper body flexibility, 8-ft up-and-go for agility/dynamic balance, and 2-min walk for aerobic endurance. Global cognitive function was assessed using the Korean version of the Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE). Potential covariates such as age, education levels, blood lipids, and insulin resistance (IR) markers were also assessed. Compared to individuals without MMSE-based MCI, individuals with MMSE-based MCI had poor physical fitness based on the senior fitness test (SFT). There were significant positive trends observed for education level (p=0.001) and MMSE score (p<0.001) across incremental levels of physical fitness in this study population. Individuals with moderate (OR=0.341, p=0.006) and high (OR=0.271, p=0.007) physical fitness based on a composite score of the SFT measures were less likely to have MMSE-based MCI than individuals with low physical fitness (referent, OR=1). The strength of the association between moderate (OR=0.377, p=0.038) or high (OR=0.282, p=0.050) physical fitness and MMSE-based MCI was somewhat attenuated but remained statistically significant even after adjustment for the measured compounding factors. We found that poor physical fitness was independently associated with MMSE-based MCI in elderly Koreans. 相似文献

Determining the evolutionary potential of a gene 总被引:4,自引:0,他引:4
In addition to information for current functions, the sequence of a gene
includes potential information for the evolution of new functions. The
wild-type ebgA (evolved beta-galactosidase) gene of Escherichia coli
encodes a virtually inactive beta-galactosidase, but that gene has the
potential to evolve sufficient activity to replace the lacZ gene for growth
on the beta-galactoside sugars lactose and lactulose. Experimental
evidence, which has suggested that the evolutionary potential of Ebg enzyme
is limited o two specific amino acid replacements, is limited to examining
the consequences of single base- substitutions. Thirteen
beta-galactosidases homologous with the Ebg beta-galactosidase are widely
dispersed, being found in gram-negative and gram-positive eubacteria and in
a eukaryote. A comparison of Ebg beta-galactosidase with those 13
beta-galactosidases shows that Ebg is part of an ancient clade that
diverged from the paralogous lacZ beta- galactosidase over 2 billion years
ago. Ebg differs from other members of its clade at only 2 of the 15
active-site residues, and the two mutations required for full Ebg
beta-galactosidase activity bring Ebg into conformity with the other
members of its clade. We conclude that either these are the only acceptable
amino acids at those positions, or all of the single-base-substitution
replacements that must arise as intermediates on the way to other
acceptable amino acids are so deleterious that they constitute a deep
selective valley that has not been traversed in over 2 billion years. The
evolutionary potential of Ebg is thus limited to those two replacements.

The triazole plant growth regulators, paclobutrazol and uniconazole, reduced in vitro growth of moth bean callus by 20–25% when added to the culture medium at 1 mg/L (3.4 μM). The addition of 10 mg/L (29 μM) gibberellic acid (GA3) to the culture medium in combination with the triazoles restored callus growth to a level equivalent to that of the untreated control. GA3 alone had little effect on callus growth. When added to a regeneration medium at 1 mg/L both paclobutrazol and uniconazole reduced the percentage of cultures that formed roots, as well as the mean number of roots per culture. In contrast, GA3 increased root formation and counteracted the inhibitory effects of the triazoles on rooting. The addition of triazoles or GA3 to the regeneration medium reduced the formation of green meristematic nodules, which are precursors of shoots in moth bean callus. When callus was grown in the presence of either paclobutrazol or uniconazole, subsequent root and green meristematic nodule formation were reduced upon transfer to a growth regulator-free regeneration medium. The results of this study indicate that exposure of moth bean callus tissue to micromolar concentrations of triazoles or GA3 can significantly alter in vitro growth and differentiation. 相似文献

Aquaporins (AQP) 1, 2, 3 and 4 belong to the aquaporin water channel family and play an important role in urine concentration by reabsorption of water from renal tubule fluid. Renal AQPs have not been reported in the yak (Bos grunniens), which resides in the Qinghai Tibetan Plateau. We investigated AQPs 1?4 expressions in the kidneys of Yak using immunohistochemical staining. AQP1 was expressed mainly in the basolateral and apical membranes of the proximal tubules and descending thin limb of the loop of Henle. AQP2 was detected in the apical plasma membranes of collecting ducts and distal convoluted tubules. AQP3 was located in the proximal tubule, distal tubule and collecting ducts. AQP4 was located in the collecting ducts, distal straight tubule, glomerular capillaries and peritubular capillaries. The expression pattern of AQPs 1?4 in kidney of yak was different from other species, which possibly is related to kidney function in a high altitude environment. 相似文献

Molecular dynamics calculations were carried out on models of two synthetic leucine-serine ion channels: a tetrameric bundle with sequence (LSLLLSL)(3)NH(2) and a hexameric bundle with sequence (LSSLLSL)(3)NH(2). Each protein bundle is inserted in a palmitoyloleoylphosphatidylcholine bilayer membrane and solvated by simple point charge water molecules inside the pore and at both mouths. Both systems appear to be stable in the absence of an electric field during the 4 ns of molecular dynamics simulation. The water motion in the narrow pore of the four-helix bundle is highly restricted and may provide suitable conditions for proton transfer via a water wire mechanism. In the wider hexameric pore, the water diffuses much more slowly than in bulk but is still mobile. This, along with the dimensions of the pore, supports the observation that this peptide is selective for monovalent cations. Reasonable agreement of predicted conductances with experimentally determined values lends support to the validity of the simulations. 相似文献

Tests with various clean-up materials after optimisation of different parameters showed that the use of Oasis® material resulted in matrixless chromatograms in HPLC-FLD. The selectivity and detection limit of the method was improved by using LC-MS/MS as the detection system. Mean recovery was 100%, and no negative food matrix effects could be observed. 相似文献
