Chromosome painting of Amigo wheat

Chromosome painting using multicolor fluorescence in situ hybridization showed that, in addition to the T1AL·1RS translocation derived from rye, a segment from chromosome 3Ae#1 of Agropyron elongatum (2n=10x =70), is present in Amigo wheat. The Agropyron chromosome segment is located on the satellite of chromosome 1B and the translocation chromosome is designated as T1BL·1BS-3Ae#1L. T1BL·1BS-3Ae#1L was inherited from Teewon wheat and carries resistance genes to stem rust (Sr24) and leaf rust (Lr24). The Agropyron chromosome segments in different Sr24/Lr24 carrier wheat lines, including Agent, TAP 48, TAP 67, Teewon, and Amigo, showed a diagnostic C-band, and were derived from the same chromosome, 3Ae#1.     

The Myb and Ahi-1 genes are physically very closely linked on mouse Chromosome 10

Ahi-1 has previously been identified as a common helper provirus integration site on mouse Chromosome (Chr) 10 in 16% of Abelson pre-B-cell lymphomas and shown to be closely linked to the Myb protooncogene. By using long-range restriction mapping, we have mapped the Myb and Ahi-1 regions within a 120-kbp DNA fragment. The Ahi-1 region is located approximately 35 kbp downstream of the Myb gene. A further comfirmation of this finding was obtained by screening a mouse YAC library. The three positive clones obtained contained both the Myb and Ahi-1 gene sequences. To test whether provirus integration in the Ahi-1 region enhances the expression of Myb by a cis-acting mechanism, we have also examined Myb gene expression in A-MuLV-induced pre-B-lymphomas. Our data have revealed that there is no clear evidence for such activation in the tumors we have tested, indicating that provirus insertion in the Ahi-1 region is activating a novel gene, apparently involved in tumor formation.

油菜素内酯促进绿豆上胚轴伸长与蛋白质和核酸合成的关系

用饲喂蛋白质和核酸合成的放射性前体［３ Ｈ］－Ｐｈｅ、［３ Ｈ］－尿嘧啶和［３ Ｈ］－胸腺嘧啶证实了油菜素内酯（ＢＲ）能促进绿豆上胚轴的生长和蛋白质、ＲＮＡ 及ＤＮＡ 的合成。用蛋白质和核酸合成抑制剂（ＣＨ、Ａｃｔ．Ｄ、５－Ｆｕ）进一步探讨它们对上胚轴伸长的抑制作用与蛋白质、ＲＮＡ、ＤＮＡ 和ｍ ＲＮＡ 合成之间的关系。证明了上胚轴的伸长依赖于蛋白质和核酸的合成,尤其是依赖于ｍ ＲＮＡ 的合成。说明ＢＲ是在转录水平上调节基因的表达,进而促进上胚轴的伸长

THE ROLE OF ECDYSTEROIDS IN THE REPRODUCTIVE DIAPAUSE OF DERMACENTOR NIVEUS NEUMANN

Abstract  The ecdysteroid levels in hemolymph, ovary, synganglion and whole body of diapausing female Dermacentor niveus were detected by HPLC, and compared with the results of nondiapausing female. It is revealed that the ecdysteroid levels in hemolymph and ovary of diapausing female are similar basically to that of nondiapausing female in the first few days after engorgement. From the 10th day after engorgement, the ecdysteroid levels of diapausing female decreased and even became distinctly lower than that of nondiapausing female. The paucity of ecdysteroids in these individuals would influence the normal development of oocytes. In order to explore the effect of ecdyateroids on the diapausing female, we injected 20-hydroxyecdysone with different dosages at different time into the ticks, and found that after just complete engorgement the injection with large dosages (10000 and 1375 ng/tick) caused death of the ticks. From 10th to 20th day after engorgement the ecdysteroid levels of diapausing female are lower than that of nondiapausing one before oviposition, the injection with certain dosages 50, 70 and 100 ng/tick> of 20E can accelerate vitellogenesis and terminate reproductive diapause, but the amount of eggs produced by them is less than that produced by nondiapausing female. The termination of diapause in female of ixcdid tick by exogenous ecdysteroids is reported for the first time.
