巨大侧耳原生质体制备条件的优化

为优化巨大侧耳原生质体的制备条件,该研究以两株不同温型的巨大侧耳菌株PG46和PG79为材料,采用单因素和正交试验方法对原生质体制备的菌丝体菌龄、稳渗剂种类、溶壁酶浓度、酶解温度和酶解时间进行研究。结果表明:(1)在单因素实验中,巨大侧耳原生质体制备的适宜条件为菌龄5 d,溶壁酶浓度2.5%,0.6 mol·L^-1甘露醇,32 ℃(PG46)或27～35 ℃(PG79)酶解4 h。(2)正交试验验证并优化了单因素实验结果,组合2(菌龄5 d,溶壁酶浓度2.5%,0.6 mol·L^-1的甘露醇,32 ℃酶解4 h)可同时作为PG46和PG79原生质体制备的最适条件,原生质体产量分别为11.22×10⁶ CFU·mL^-1和7.28×10⁶ CFU·mL^-1。(3)F-test检验中,各因素对原生质体制备的影响程度依次为菌龄>溶壁酶浓度>酶解温度>酶解时间(PG46),菌龄>酶解时间>酶解温度>溶壁酶浓度(PG79)。综上所述,两株不同温型巨大侧耳菌株的原生质体制备条件基本一致,菌龄对两菌株原生质体得率的影响程度最显著。该研究结果可为后续巨大侧耳的杂交育种、遗传转化、全基因组测序等工作奠定基础,进一步推动巨大侧耳分子遗传学的发展。     

Molecular cloning and characterization of a cDNA encoding nitrate reductase from Chlorella ellipsoidea (Chlorophyta)

Nitrate reductase (NR) genes have beencloned from higher plants, fungi and algae.Based on seven of the amino acid residuesmost strongly conserved between Chlorella vulgaries and Chlamydomonasreinhardtii NR gene, a degenerate primerwas designed. This degenerate primer wasused to amplify the corresponding homologyin Chlorella ellipsoidea. A 3304 bpfull-length cDNA was cloned by rapidamplification of cDNA ends (RACE). Thededuced amino acid sequence of this cDNAhas a high degree of similarity withpreviously identified members of the NRgene. This suggests that the amplified cDNAencodes a functional NR. Northern blotexpression analysis suggests that this geneis strongly induced by nitrate, but isrepressed by ammonium. The nucleotidesequence data reported in this paper willappear in the DDBJ/EMBL/GeneBank databasesunder accession number AY275834.     

Hybrid rice (Oryza sativa L.): identification and parentage determination by RAPD fingerprinting

Summary DNA from three families of rice plants selected in Northern China (each comprising the male sterile, the restorer, the hybrid F1 and the maintainer lines) has been extracted and amplified by PCR with different random DNA primers (RAPD analysis). Then, DNA has been analysed by agarose gel electrophoresis and DNA bands scored as present or absent. The generated matrices are reproducible and amenable for identification of each single plant line. Thus, RAPD fingerprinting of the inbred parental lines and of the resulting hybrid is proposed as a convenient tool for the identification, protection and parentage determination of plant hybrids. Furthermore, by offering a molecular tool to verify the degree of dissimilarity between the parental lines, the RAPD analysis may also be used to search for new parental combinations.
