Simple sequence repeat (SSR) markers are very useful for genetic applications in plants, but SSR resource for the important tree genus Casuarina L. ex Adans. is still limited. In this study, we report a novel set of 223 SSR markers in Casuarina developed from expressed sequence tag (EST) resource of GenBank. The 223 EST-SSR markers were polymorphic among 10 unrelated individuals of C. equisetifolia L. Johnson, with the number of alleles per locus (Na), observed heterozygosity (Ho), expected heterozygosity (He), and polymorphic information content (PIC) averaging at 5.5, 0.72, 0.86, and 0.63, respectively. The rates of cross-species transferability ranged from 96.9% (C. glauca Sieber ex Sprengel) through 97.8% (C. cunninghamiana Miquel) to 99.1% (C. junghuhniana Miquel). Fifty-five C. equisetifolia clones widely planted in China were successfully genotyped with a subset of 20 EST-SSRs. These newly developed markers will have a great potential for genetic and breeding applications in Casuarina species and related taxa. 相似文献

Understanding the shifts in competitive ability and its driving forces is key to predict the future of plant invasion. Changes in the competition environment and soil biota are two selective forces that impose remarkable influences on competitive ability. By far, evidence of the interactive effects of competition environment and soil biota on competitive ability of invasive species is rare. Here, we investigated their interactive effects using an invasive perennial vine, Mikania micrantha. The competitive performance of seven M. micrantha populations varying in their conspecific and heterospecific abundance were monitored in a greenhouse experiment, by manipulating soil biota (live and sterilized) and competition conditions (competition‐free, intraspecific, and interspecific competition). Our results showed that with increasing conspecific abundance and decreasing heterospecific abundance, (1) M. micrantha increased intraspecific competition tolerance and intra‐ vs. interspecific competitive ability but decreased interspecific competition tolerance; (2) M. micrantha increased tolerance of the negative soil biota effect; and (3) interspecific competition tolerance of M. micrantha was increasingly suppressed by the presence of soil biota, but intraspecific competition tolerance was less affected. These results highlight the importance of the soil biota effect on the evolution of competitive ability during the invasion process. To better control M. micrantha invasion, our results imply that introduction of competition‐tolerant native plants that align with conservation priorities may be effective where M. micrantha populations are long‐established and inferior in inter‐ vs. intraspecific competitive ability, whereas eradication may be effective where populations are newly invaded and fast‐growing. 相似文献

CuO and Cu2O are non‐noble transition metal oxide supercapacitive materials with high theoretical specific capacitances above 1800 F g?1. In this work, by adjusting organic additives of a colloidal system, Cu, Cu2O, and CuO are grown in situ on nickel foam. CuO exhibits a specific capacitance of 1355 F g?1 at 2 A g?1 in 3 m KOH, a value well above those of Cu and Cu2O (<500 F g?1), and is superior to other known CuO electrodes. The CuO electrode exhibits 70% of its initial capacity, and the Columbic efficiency remains ≈100% after 7000 cycles at 4 A g?1. Cu2O exhibits the worst electrochemical performance, mainly due to the inactive barrier layer forming on the surface. This work provides an efficient synthetic platform for both comparable supercapacitive studies and cost‐effective electrochemical energy storage applications. 相似文献

Extracellular signal-regulated kinase 5 (ERK5), a recently discovered mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK), plays a key role in the development and pathogenesis of cardiovascular disease. In order to clarify the pathophysiological significance of ERK5 in vascular remodeling, we investigated ERK5 phosphorylation in hypertrophy of human aortic smooth muscle cells (HASMCs) induced by angiotensin II (Ang II). The AT1 receptor was involved in Ang II-induced ERK5 activity. Hypertrophy was detected by the measurement of protein synthesis with [3H]-Leu incorporation in cultured HASMCs. Ang II rapidly induced phosphorylation of ERK5 at Thr218/Tyr220 residues in a time- and dose-dependent manner. Activation of myocyte enhancer factor-2C (MEF2C) by ERK5 was inhibited by PD98059. Transfecting HASMCs with small interfering RNA (siRNA) to silence ERK5 inhibited Ang II-induced cell hypertrophy. Thus, ERK5 phosphorylation contributes to MEF2C activation and subsequent HASMC hypertrophy induced by Ang II, for a novel molecular mechanism in cardiovascular diseases induced by Ang II. 相似文献

CFTR (cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator) has been shown to form multiple protein macromolecular complexes with its interacting partners at discrete subcellular microdomains to modulate trafficking, transport and signalling in cells. Targeting protein-protein interactions within these macromolecular complexes would affect the expression or function of the CFTR channel. We specifically targeted the PDZ domain-based LPA2 (type 2 lysophosphatidic acid receptor)-NHERF2 (Na+/H+ exchanger regulatory factor-2) interaction within the CFTR-NHERF2-LPA2-containing macromolecular complexes in airway epithelia and tested its regulatory role on CFTR channel function. We identified a cell-permeable small-molecule compound that preferentially inhibits the LPA2-NHERF2 interaction. We show that this compound can disrupt the LPA2-NHERF2 interaction in cells and thus compromises the integrity of macromolecular complexes. Functionally, it elevates cAMP levels in proximity to CFTR and upregulates its channel activity. The results of the present study demonstrate that CFTR Cl- channel function can be finely tuned by modulating PDZ domain-based protein-protein interactions within the CFTR-containing macromolecular complexes. The present study might help to identify novel therapeutic targets to treat diseases associated with dysfunctional CFTR Cl- channels. 相似文献

Nucleosome formation and positioning, which play important roles in a number of biological processes, are thought to be related to the distinctive periodic dinucleotide patterns observed in the DNA sequence wrapped around the protein octamer. Previous research shows that flexibility is a key structural property of a nucleosomal DNA sequence. However, the relationship between the flexibility and the periodic dinucleotide patterns has received little attention in research in the past. In this study, we propose the use of three different models to measure the flexibility of yeast DNA sequences. Although the three models involve different parameters, they deliver consistent results showing that yeast nucleosomal DNA sequences are more flexible than non-nucleosomal ones. In contrast to random flexibility values along non-nucleosomal DNA sequences, the flexibility of nucleosomal DNA sequences shows a clear periodicity of 10.14 base pairs, which is consistent with the periodicity of dinucleotide distributions. We also demonstrate that there is a strong relationship between the peak positions of the flexibility and the dinucleotide frequencies. Correlation between the flexibility and the dinucleotide patterns of CA/TG, CG, GC, GG/CC, AG/CT, AC/GT and GA/TC are positive with an average value of 0.5946. The highest correlation is shown by CA/TG with a value of 0.7438 and the lowest correlation is shown by AA/TT with a value of −0.7424.
