Quality, specifically protein content and gluten strength are among the main objectives of a durum wheat breeding program.
The aim of this work was to validate quantitative trait loci (QTLs) associated with grain protein content (GPC) and gluten
strength measured by SDS sedimentation volume (SV) and to find additional QTLs expressed in Argentinean environments. Also,
epistatic QTL and QTL x environmental interactions were analyzed. A mapping population of 93 RILs derived from the cross UC1113
x Kofa showing extreme values in gluten quality was used. Phenotypic data were collected along six environments (three locations,
two years). Main effect QTLs associated with GPC were found in equivalent positions in two environments on chromosomes 3BS
(R2 = 21.0-21.6%) and 7BL (R2 = 12.1-13%), and in one environment on chromosomes 1BS, 2AL, 2BS, 3BL, 4AL, 5AS, 5BL and 7AS. The most important and stable
QTL affecting SV was located on chromosome 1BL (Glu-B1) consistently detected over the six environments (R2 = 20.9- 54.2%). Additional QTLs were found in three environments on chromosomes 6AL (R2 = 6.4-12.5%), and in two environments on chromosomes 6BL (R2 = 11.5-12.1%), 7AS (R2 = 8.2-10.2%) and 4BS (R2 = 11–16.4%). In addition, pleiotropic effects were found affecting grain yield, test weight, thousand-kernel- weight and
days to heading in some of these QTLs. Epistatic QTLs and QTL x environment interactions were found for both quality traits,
mostly for GPC. The flanking markers of the QTLs detected in this work could be efficient tools to select superior genotypes
for the mentioned traits. 相似文献

The Magellan region is a unique peri-Antarctic ecosystem due to its geographical position. However, the knowledge about the distribution and feeding ecology of fish larvae is scarce. Since this area is characterized by low phytoplankton biomass, we hypothesize that marine fish larvae display different foraging tactics in order to reduce diet overlap. During austral spring 2009–2010, two oceanographic cruises were carried out along southern Patagonia (50–56°S). Larval fish distribution and feeding of the two most widely distributed species were studied, the smelt Bathylagichthys parini (Bathylagidae) and black southern cod Patagonotothen tessellata (Nototheniidae). Larvae of B. parini showed a lower increase in the mouth gape at size, primarily feeding during daytime (higher feeding incidence during the day) mostly on nonmotile prey (invertebrate and copepod eggs, appendicularian fecal pellets, diatoms). They showed no increase in feeding success (number, total volume of prey per gut and prey width) with increasing larval size, and the niche breadth was independent of larval size. Larvae of P. tessellata showed a large mouth gape at size, which may partially explain the predation on motile prey like large calanoid copepods (C. simillimus) and copepodites. They are nocturnal feeders (higher feeding incidence during night) and are exclusively carnivorous, feeding on larger prey as the larvae grow. Nonetheless, niche breadth was independent of larval size. Diet overlap was important only in individuals with smaller mouth gape (<890 μm) and diminished as larvae (and correspondingly their jaw) grow. In conclusion, in the peri-Antarctic Magellan region, fish larvae of two species display different foraging tactics, reducing their trophic overlap throughout their development. 相似文献

A series of 3-(3-(4-(3-(1H-indol-3-yl)propyl)piperazin-1-yl)propyl)-1H-indole derivatives (3a–d and 5a–f) as homo- and hetero-bis-ligands, were synthesized and evaluated for in vitro affinity at the serotonin transporter (SERT) and the 5-HT1A receptor. Compounds 5b and 5f showed nanomolar affinities for both targets. The experimental data were rationalized according to results obtained from docking experiments. These findings are in agreement with our proposal that bis-indole derivatives can bind both targets, and might serve as leads in the quest of ligands endowed with a dual mechanism of action. 相似文献

Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) is the most common inherited neuromuscular disease and is characterized by absence of the cytoskeletal protein dystrophin, muscle wasting, and fibrosis. We previously demonstrated that systemic infusion or oral administration of angiotensin-(1-7) (Ang-(1-7)), a peptide with opposing effects to angiotensin II, normalized skeletal muscle architecture, decreased local fibrosis, and improved muscle function in mdx mice, a dystrophic model for DMD. In this study, we investigated the presence, activity, and localization of ACE2, the enzyme responsible for Ang-(1-7) production, in wild type (wt) and mdx skeletal muscle and in a model of induced chronic damage in wt mice. All dystrophic muscles studied showed higher ACE2 activity than wt muscle. Immunolocalization studies indicated that ACE2 was localized mainly at the sarcolemma and, to a lesser extent, associated with interstitial cells. Similar results were observed in the model of chronic damage in the tibialis anterior (TA) muscle. Furthermore, we evaluated the effect of ACE2 overexpression in mdx TA muscle using an adenovirus containing human ACE2 sequence and showed that expression of ACE2 reduced the fibrosis associated with TA dystrophic muscles. Moreover, we observed fewer inflammatory cells infiltrating the mdx muscle. Finally, mdx gastrocnemius muscles from mice infused with Ang-(1-7), which decreases fibrosis, contain less ACE2 associated with the muscle. This is the first evidence supporting ACE2 as an important therapeutic target to improve the dystrophic skeletal muscle phenotype. 相似文献

Gene expression in diplosporous and sexual Eragrostis curvula genotypes with differing ploidy levels

The molecular nature of gene expression during the initiation and progress of diplosporous apomixis is still unknown. Moreover,
the basis of the close correlation between diplospory and polyploidy is not clarified yet. A comparative expression analysis
was performed based on expressed sequence tags (ESTs) sequencing and differential display in an Eragrostis curvula diplosporous tetraploid genotype (T, 4x apo), a sexual diploid derivative obtained from tissue culture (D, 2x sex) and an
artificial sexual tetraploid obtained from the diploid seeds after colchicine treatment (C, 4x sex). From a total of 8,884
unigenes sequenced from inflorescence-derived libraries, 112 (1.26%) showed significant differential expression in individuals
with different ploidy level and/or variable reproductive mode. Independent comparisons between plants with different reproductive
mode (same ploidy) or different ploidy level (same reproductive mode) allowed the identification of genes modulated in response
to diplosporous development or polyploidization, respectively. Surprisingly, a group of genes (Group 3) were differentially
expressed or silenced only in the 4x sex plant, presenting similar levels of expression in the 4x apo and the 2x sex genotypes.
A group of randomly selected differential genes was validated by QR-PCR. Differential display analysis showed that in general
the 4x apo and 4x sex expression profiles were more related and different from the 2x sex one, but confirmed the existence
of Group 3-type genes, in both inflorescences and leaves. The possible biological significance for the occurrence of this
particular group of genes is discussed. In silico mapping onto the rice genome was used to identify candidates mapping to
the region syntenic to the diplospory locus.

Summary Plants were regenerated by shoot multiplication from four clones of Melia azedarach L. during 12 mo. of subculturing. One hundred and one of these plants were examined by randomly amplified polymorphic DNA
analysis. All regenerated plants showed at least one polymorphism. However, no chromosome number alterations were observed.
The pattern of variation obtained by principal coordinated analysis showed a random distribution of variation among regenerated
plants and their controls, indicating that genetic alterations were not cumulative during in vitro culture. Similar results were found using Shannon's index, which revealed that 50% of the observed diversity resided among
plants coming from the same subculture generation. This high intraclonal variation does not provide a clear scenario for predicting
the amount of culture time required to preserve genetic fidelity in commercially micropropagated M. azedarach plants. Our work suggests that other mechanisms, such as chimerism, contribute to intraclonal heterogeneity in vitro. 相似文献

This study was carried out to investigate the effects of water stress on cell division, relative frequency of different phases
of mitosis and mitotic index in root tips of two cultivars of Eragrostis curvula (Schrad. Nees) (weeping lovegrass). The water stress treatment affected both cultivars by increasing mitotic index as a result of changes
in the relative frequency of cells in interphase and prophase with marked increases in the prophase index. These increases
were more evident in the less resistant cultivar. Changes in the relative frequency of other phases were also observed. The
presence of cells with persistent nucleoli was detected, and the number of these cells increased with the lowest medium water
potentials. 相似文献

Analysis of a clinical isolate of Acinetobacter baumannii showed that this bacterium was able to grow under iron-limiting conditions, using chemically defined growth media containing different iron chelators such as human transferrin, ethylenediaminedi-(o-hydroxyphenyl)acetic acid, nitrilotriacetic acid, and 2,2'-bipyridyl. This iron uptake-proficient phenotype was due to the synthesis and secretion of a catechol-type siderophore compound. Utilization bioassays using the Salmonella typhimurium iron uptake mutants enb-1 and enb-7 proved that this siderophore is different from enterobactin. This catechol siderophore was partially purified from culture supernatants by adsorption chromatography using an XAD-7 resin. The purified component exhibited a chromatographic behavior and a UV-visible light absorption spectrum different from those of 2,3-dihydroxybenzoic acid and other bacterial catechol siderophores. Furthermore, the siderophore activity of this extracellular catechol was confirmed by its ability to stimulate energy-dependent uptake of 55Fe(III) as well as to promote the growth of A. baumannii bacterial cells under iron-deficient conditions imposed by 60 microM human transferrin. Polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis analysis showed the presence of iron-regulated proteins in both inner and outer membranes of this clinical isolate of A. baumannii. Some of these membrane proteins may be involved in the recognition and internalization of the iron-siderophore complexes. 相似文献
