One of the major concerns regarding the release of Bt maize is its potential negative impact on non-target organisms present in this crop. In this paper, we compare the temporal phenology and community structure of the aboveground arthropods in commercial Bt maize fields in Central Spain with those of conventional maize crops, with or without an insecticide (imidacloprid) seed treatment, over a period of three years. Spiders, harvestmen, centipedes, ground beetles, rove beetles, carrion beetles, click beetles, earwigs and damsel bugs were captured in pitfall traps every year in sufficient number to provide meaningful phenological data. One predator spider and three omnivorous species of ground beetles have been consistently present in the maize fields: Pardosa occidentalis, Poecilus cupreus, Pseudophonus rufipes and Pseudophonus griseus, respectively. Rove beetles were caught to a lesser extent, with three dominant species: Acrotona aterrima, Philonthus varians and Platystethus nitens. The variability in activity–density patterns of the aboveground fauna was mainly influenced by the year, but no detrimental effects could be attributed to Bt maize. The only exception being the changes detected in rove beetles, although these differences were transitory and varied from year to year. No changes in species richness and diversity indices for spiders and ground beetles resulted from treatments. However, imidacloprid-treated maize caused a reduction in species richness of rove beetles, even though the abundance of the main species was not reduced. Our results suggest that Bt maize could be compatible with natural enemies that are common in maize fields in Spain. 相似文献

Telomere shortening and redox imbalance have been related to the aging process. We used cultured mouse embryonic fibroblasts (MEF) isolated from mice lacking telomerase activity (Terc(-/-)) to analyze the redox balance and the functional consequences promoted by telomerase deficiency. Comparison with wild-type (WT) MEF showed that Terc(-/-) MEF had greater oxidant damage, showing higher superoxide anion and hydrogen peroxide production and lower catalase activity. Restoration of telomerase activity in Terc(-/-) MEF increased catalase expression and activity. TGF-beta1 and collagen type IV levels were higher in Terc(-/-) than in WT MEF. TGF-beta1 promoter activity decreased when Terc(-/-) MEF were incubated with exogenous catalase, suggesting that catalase deficiency is the cause of the TGF-beta1 increase. Similar results were obtained in vivo. Homogenized renal cortex from 6-month-old Terc(-/-) showed higher oxidant capacity, lower catalase activity, greater oxidative damage, and higher TGF-beta1 and fibronectin levels than that from WT mice. In summary, telomerase deficiency reduces catalase activity, determining a redox imbalance that promotes overexpression of TGF-beta1 and extracellular matrix proteins. 相似文献

Introduction – Methyl jasmonate (MJ) contains two chiral centres at C‐3 and C‐7 in its chemical structure, which implies that it can exist in four possible stereoisomeric forms, namely (+)‐MJ, (?)‐MJ, (+)‐epiMJ and (?)‐epiMJ. The absolute configuration of the two side chains of MJ affects the biological activity associated with this compound. Objective – To isolate pure (?)‐MJ from a natural source, Jasminum polyanthum Franch., with the intention of increasing the knowledge about its biological properties, including its effect on the biosynthesis of plant metabolites. Methodology – The method used was based on steam distillation extraction (SDE) as an extraction technique followed by high‐performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) as a purification procedure. The HPLC flow‐rate as well as the number of fractions accumulated were optimised to achieve the concentration and purity required. Results – The employment of 0.3 mL/min as HPLC flow‐rate and the accumulation of three HPLC fractions allowed the required enantiomeric purity (95%) and concentration (0.36 mg/L in each HPLC fraction) to efficiently obtain (?)‐methyl jasmonate from Jasminum polyanthum Franch. to be achieved. Conclusion – The approach proposed may enable the properties and effect of pure (?)‐MJ on plant responses to be studied. The use of a natural source to obtain (?)‐MJ is presented as an alternative to the enantioselective synthesis and enantiomeric resolution from the standard racaemic mixture.

Commercially available DNA microarrays containing genome-wide spotted oligonucleotides encompass the soil bacteria Bacillus subtilis or Streptomyces coelicolor genomes. These have been used to analyse potential differences in rhizobacterial communities of transgenic maize engineered
to express the Bacillus thuringensis Cry toxin (Bt maize) in three different agricultural soils. No differences in hybridisation were observed between genetically
and non-genetically modified maize rhizobacteria from two Bt lines with a detection sensitivity of five copies of a particular
gene above the background. Soil-specific hybridisation results were obtained when rhizobacterial DNA was compared to the corresponding
genomic DNA spotted in the microarrays suggesting that the use of genome-wide DNA arrays could serve as a useful tool for
the molecular monitoring of rhizobacterial communities.

Post-translational modifications (PTMs) chemically and physically alter the properties of proteins, including their folding, subcellular localization, stability, activity, and consequently their function. In spite of their relevance, studies on PTMs in plants are still limited. Small Ubiquitin-like Modifier (SUMO) modification regulates several biological processes by affecting protein-protein interactions, or changing the subcellular localizations of the target proteins. Here, we describe a novel proteomic approach to identify SUMO targets that combines 2-D liquid chromatography, immunodetection, and mass spectrometry (MS) analyses. We have applied this approach to identify nuclear SUMO targets in response to heat shock. Using a bacterial SUMOylation system, we validated that some of the targets identified here are, in fact, labeled with SUMO1. Interestingly, we found that GIGANTEA (GI), a photoperiodic-pathway protein, is modified with SUMO in response to heat shock both in vitro and in vivo. 相似文献
