早晚季不同耐光氧化特性水稻品种籽粒灌浆关键酶活性变化

选用光氧化敏感和不敏感的两大类型4个水稻品种研究早晚季耐光氧化反应特性与其稻米品质稳定性密切相关的生理生化原因.结果表明,耐光氧化反应特性强的适强光生态型水稻品种的平均灌浆速率(G_mean)、达最大灌浆速率时间(T_max.G)和达最大灌浆速率百粒重(W_max.G)等参数在早晚季灌浆结实期间保持相对稳定;而对光氧化敏感的弱光生态型品种佳禾早占以上参数的早晚季稳定性较差.比较早晚季籽粒灌浆充实过程中关键酶活性的变化结果可见,耐光氧化反应特性强的品种,灌浆速率高峰到灌浆终期ADPG-焦磷酸化酶和淀粉合成酶活性早晚季变异比耐光氧化反应特性弱的品种小,且耐光氧化反应特性强的品种灌浆高峰前后酶活性变异的幅度早晚季也较一致.     

Whole-Genome Analysis Revealed the Positively Selected Genes during the Differentiation of indica and Temperate japonica Rice

To investigate the selective pressures acting on the protein-coding genes during the differentiation of indica and japonica, all of the possible orthologous genes between the Nipponbare and 93–11 genomes were identified and compared with each other. Among these genes, 8,530 pairs had identical sequences, and 27,384 pairs shared more than 90% sequence identity. Only 2,678 pairs of genes displaying a Ka/Ks ratio significantly greater than one were revealed, and most of these genes contained only nonsynonymous sites. The genes without synonymous site were further analyzed with the SNP data of 1529 O. sativa and O. rufipogon accessions, and 1068 genes were identified to be under positive selection during the differentiation of indica and temperate japonica. The positively selected genes (PSGs) are unevenly distributed on 12 chromosomes, and the proteins encoded by the PSGs are dominant with binding, transferase and hydrolase activities, and especially enriched in the plant responses to stimuli, biological regulations, and transport processes. Meanwhile, the most PSGs of the known function and/or expression were involved in the regulation of biotic/abiotic stresses. The evidence of pervasive positive selection suggested that many factors drove the differentiation of indica and japonica, which has already started in wild rice but is much lower than in cultivated rice. Lower differentiation and less PSGs revealed between the Or-It and Or-IIIt wild rice groups implied that artificial selection provides greater contribution on the differentiation than natural selection. In addition, the phylogenetic tree constructed with positively selected sites showed that the japonica varieties exhibited more diversity than indica on differentiation, and Or-III of O. rufipogon exhibited more than Or-I.     

A Method of Three-Dimensional Recording of Mandibular Movement Based on Two-Dimensional Image Feature Extraction

Background and Objective

To develop a real-time recording system based on computer binocular vision and two-dimensional image feature extraction to accurately record mandibular movement in three dimensions.

Methods

A computer-based binocular vision device with two digital cameras was used in conjunction with a fixed head retention bracket to track occlusal movement. Software was developed for extracting target spatial coordinates in real time based on two-dimensional image feature recognition. A plaster model of a subject’s upper and lower dentition were made using conventional methods. A mandibular occlusal splint was made on the plaster model, and then the occlusal surface was removed. Temporal denture base resin was used to make a 3-cm handle extending outside the mouth connecting the anterior labial surface of the occlusal splint with a detection target with intersecting lines designed for spatial coordinate extraction. The subject''s head was firmly fixed in place, and the occlusal splint was fully seated on the mandibular dentition. The subject was then asked to make various mouth movements while the mandibular movement target locus point set was recorded. Comparisons between the coordinate values and the actual values of the 30 intersections on the detection target were then analyzed using paired t-tests.

Results

The three-dimensional trajectory curve shapes of the mandibular movements were consistent with the respective subject movements. Mean XYZ coordinate values and paired t-test results were as follows: X axis: -0.0037 ± 0.02953, P = 0.502; Y axis: 0.0037 ± 0.05242, P = 0.704; and Z axis: 0.0007 ± 0.06040, P = 0.952. The t-test result showed that the coordinate values of the 30 cross points were considered statistically no significant. (P<0.05)

Conclusions

Use of a real-time recording system of three-dimensional mandibular movement based on computer binocular vision and two-dimensional image feature recognition technology produced a recording accuracy of approximately ± 0.1 mm, and is therefore suitable for clinical application. Certainly, further research is necessary to confirm the clinical applications of the method.     

澄黄滨珊瑚、大管孔珊瑚和丛生盔形珊瑚排卵前后小穗生长特征

澄黄滨珊瑚、大管孔珊瑚和丛生盔形珊瑚排卵前后分别采集珊瑚小穗,在实验室条件下进行为期60 d的养殖,观察其生长特性,结果表明:3种珊瑚排卵前后骨骼密度变化在1.541—2.137 g/cm3之间,差异不显著。3种珊瑚小穗的生长率表现出相对一致的变化趋势,同一规格珊瑚小穗排卵前期生长率明显高于排卵后期;同一时期大规格珊瑚小穗生长率明显高于小规格珊瑚小穗,而且养殖中后期生长较快,养殖前期生长较慢,差异显著(P0.05)。澄黄滨珊瑚小穗边缘组织延伸度排卵后期大于排卵前期,大管孔珊瑚小穗边缘组织延伸度排卵前期大于排卵后期,以上两种珊瑚的小规格珊瑚小穗与大规格珊瑚小穗组织延伸度相当。随着养殖时间的持续,丛生盔形珊瑚小穗螅体增殖速率加快,各养殖阶段螅体数差异显著(P0.05),珊瑚小穗规格和养殖季节对其小穗螅体增殖数量没有显著影响。3种珊瑚小穗生长指标间多呈显著正相关,仅大管孔珊瑚小穗初始直径、初始重量与组织延伸度间,以及丛生盔形珊瑚小穗初始重量与初始螅体数量、生长率间相关性不明显。

水稻籽粒镉积累QTL定位及候选基因分析

水稻(Oryza sativa)是全世界重要的经济作物之一, 稻田镉(Cd)污染和镉积累问题严重威胁世界水稻的产量和品质以及人类健康, 如何降低水稻中镉积累已成为热点问题。以籼稻品种华占(HZ)为父本、粳稻品种热研2号(Nekken2)为母本, 连续自交多代后得到120个重组自交系群体, 对其镉积累进行检测和分析, 同时利用遗传图谱进行QTL作图。结果共检测到7个QTLs, 分别位于水稻第2、3、9和12号染色体上, 其中1个LOD值高达4.97。对这些QTL区间内与耐金属离子胁迫相关的候选基因进行定量分析, 发现LOC_Os02g50240、LOC_Os02g52780、LOC_Os09g31200、LOC_Os09g35030和LOC_Os09g37949这5个基因在双亲间的表达量差异显著, 结合亲本对不同金属离子的浓度积累数据, 推测LOC_ Os02g50240、LOC_Os09g31200及LOC_Os09g35030的高表达可能极大地提高了水稻对镉离子的吸收和胁迫耐受能力。通过QTL挖掘和分析, 发现这些基因与水稻籽粒的镉积累有关, 可能影响水稻耐镉胁迫的能力。研究结果为进一步筛选和培育耐镉胁迫的水稻品种创造了条件, 为阐明水稻镉积累的分子调控机制奠定了基础。
