Comparative analysis of 343 plastid genomes of Solanum section Petota: Insights into potato diversity,phylogeny, and species discrimination

Common potato (Solanum tuberosum L.) and its wild relatives belong to Solanum section Petota. This section's phylogeny and species delimitation are complicated due to various ploidy levels, high heterozygosity, and frequent interspecific hybridization. Compared to the nuclear genome, the plastid genome is more conserved, has a haploid nature, and has a lower nucleotide substitution rate, providing informative alternative insights into the phylogenetic study of section Petota. Here, we analyzed 343 potato plastid genomes from 53 wild and four cultivated species. The diversity of sequences and genomes was comprehensively analyzed. A total of 24 species were placed in a phylogenetic tree based on genomic data for the first time. Overall, our results not only confirmed most existing clades and species boundaries inferred by nuclear evidence but also provided some distinctive species clade belonging and the maternally inherited evidence supporting the hybrid origin of some species. Furthermore, the divergence times between the major potato clades were estimated. In addition, the species discriminatory power of universal barcodes, nuclear ribosomal DNA, and whole and partial plastid genomes and their combinations were thoroughly evaluated; the plastid genome performed best but had limited discriminatory power for all survey species (40%). Overall, our study provided not only new insights into phylogeny and DNA barcoding of potato but also provided valuable genetic data resources for further systematical research of Petota.     

海甘蓝种子成熟过程中脂肪酸含量以及脱落酸和山梨醇的效应

海甘蓝种子在成熟过程中,棕榈酸、硬脂酸和亚麻酸的含量不断下降,而二十碳烯酸和芥酸的含量呈上升趋势。选用开花后２５～２７ｄ的海甘蓝幼胚分别在含不同浓度的ＡＢＡ或高渗透剂的培养基中培养１～３ｄ,发现其各种脂肪酸的变化趋势和种子自然成熟过程中脂肪酸的变化相似,说明ＡＢＡ或高渗透剂可能是种子成熟过程中各种脂肪酸合成和相互转化所需的条件。     

肿瘤坏死因子α对白血病细胞作用的^31P核磁共振研究

木文用３１Ｐ核磁共振（ＮＭＥ）观察了人淋巴瘤白血病细胞系Ｍｏｌｔ－４和人早幼粒白血病细胞系ＨＬ－６０的细胞代谢。Ｍｏｌｔ－４和ＨＬ－６０细胞系的３１Ｐ谱主要由磷酸单酯、无机磷（Ｐｉ）、双磷酸双酯、ＡＴＰ的共振峰组成。３１Ｐ谱显示Ｍｏｌｔ－４细胞在受肿瘤坏死因子α（ＴＮＦ－α）作用后,ＡＴＰ／Ｐｉ比值降低。ＨＬ－６０细胞在受ＴＮＦ－α作用后,ＡＴＰ减少。３１Ｐ－ＮＭＲ提供了一种非损伤性研究细胞代谢的重要方法。     

一例智力低下患者7q~ 标记染色体的来源鉴定

以人类染色体显微切割、PCR技术构建的现有人类染色体特异性和染色体区带特异性探针池作为绘画探针,采用正向染色体绘画技术,结合染色体筛查方法,查明了一例7q~ 标记染色体患者的染色体附加片段来源于3q26→3qter。确定该患者的核型为46,XX,-7, der(7)t(7;3)(7pter→7q32::3q26→3qter)。应用这个策略,能够快速有效地鉴定标记染色体的来源。     

kar交配法转移YACs至新宿主的研究

利用改进的kar交配法,将一个含有340kb人基因组DNA的YAC片段的供体酵母菌株YAC23与受体菌株YLB504进行交配,以选择平板对所形成的候选YAC导入菌进行筛选。经PCR分析,候选YAC导入菌在404bp处有一个扩增带,即具有受体菌株的交配型(MAT α)。进一步用脉冲电泳进行核型鉴定,证实YACs己成功地进入受体,实现了YACs从一个宿主到另一个宿主之间的转移。

本文记述下盾螨新种Ｈｙｏａｓｐｉｓｓｏｒｅｃｉｓｓｐ．ｎｏｖ,并讨论与近似种Ｈ．ＨｒｙｄｉＳａｍｓｉｎａｋ１９６１的鉴别特征。模式标本采自青海互助土族自治县的暗色ＳｏｒｅｘｓｉｎａｌｉｓＴｈｏｍａｓ,１９１２体上。文内量度单位均为μｍ,标本存放在青海省地方病防治研究所,西宁。     

玉米种子萌发成苗不同阶段需水阈值的研究

用渗透势不同的聚乙二醇（ＰＥＧ）６０００模拟外界环境水分条件,对玉米不同品种的种子在萌动、萌发及成苗三个阶段需水的量化研究表明,种苗的抗旱性随吸水进程的推进而减弱;种子在萌动、萌发及胚芽伸长至一定长度的时间（ｔ）与外界环境水势（ｗ）之间存在着１／ｔ＝ａ＋ｂｗ的关系,据此推算出不同品种在不同成苗阶段的需水阈值,发现不同品种在同一成苗过程中对环境水分条件的反应不同,它们的抗旱性也不同。     

利用IL－3／GM－CSF融合蛋白（PIXY－321）扩增脐血造血细胞方法的初步建立

利用单克隆抗体免疫磁珠吸附方法分离脐血ＣＤ３４＋细胞,并观察了ＩＬ３／ＧＭＣＳＦ融合蛋白（ＰＩＸＹ３２１）对脐血ＣＤ３４＋细胞的刺激作用。ＰＩＸＹ３２１对脐血ＣＤ３４＋细胞扩增作用大于ＩＬ３和ＧＭＣＳＦ单独及联合应用。在液体培养条件下,每毫升２０ｎｇＰＩＸＹ３２１可有效地扩增脐血造血祖细胞,适宜扩增时间为５－８天,扩增后造血祖细胞的数量可达扩增前的８－１０倍,从而初步建立了一种简单可行的脐血造血细胞扩增方法。
