Elevated auxin and reduced cytokinin contents in rootstocks improve their performance and grafting success

Plant grafting is an important technique for horticultural and silvicultural production. However, many rootstock plants suffer from undesirable lateral bud outgrowth, low grafting success rates or poor rooting. Here, we used a root‐predominant gene promoter (SbUGT) to drive the expression of a tryptophan‐2‐monooxygenase gene (iaaM) from Agrobacterium tumefaciens to increase auxin levels in tobacco. The transgenic plants, when used as a rootstock, displayed inhibited lateral bud outgrowth, enhanced grafting success rate and improved root initiation. However, root elongation and biomass of SbUGT::iaaM transgenic plants were reduced compared to those of wild‐type plants. In contrast, when we used this same promoter to drive CKX (a cytokinin degradation gene) expression, the transgenic tobacco plants displayed enhanced root elongation and biomass. We then made crosses between the SbUGT::CKX and SbUGT::iaaM transgenic plants. We observed that overexpression of the CKX gene neutralized the negative effects of auxin overproduction on root elongation. Also, the simultaneous expression of both the iaaM and CKX genes in rootstock did not disrupt normal growth and developmental patterns in wild‐type scions. Our results demonstrate that expression of both the iaaM and CKX genes predominantly in roots of rootstock inhibits lateral bud release from rootstock, improves grafting success rates and enhances root initiation and biomass.     

Analysis of trehalose-6-phosphate synthase (TPS) gene family suggests the formation of TPS complexes in rice

Trehalose-6-phosphate (T6P), an intermediate in the trehalose biosynthesis pathway, is emerging as an important regulator of plant metabolism and development. T6P levels are potentially modulated by a group of trehalose-6-phosphate synthase (TPS) and trehalose-6-phosphate phosphatase (TPP) homologues. In this study, we have isolated 11 TPS genes encoding proteins with both TPS and TPP domains, from rice. Functional complement assays performed in yeast tps1 and tps2 mutants, revealed that only OsTPS1 encodes an active TPS enzyme and no OsTPS protein possesses TPP activity. By using a yeast two-hybrid analysis, a complicated interaction network occurred among OsTPS proteins, and the TPS domain might be essential for this interaction to occur. The interaction between OsTPS1 and OsTPS8 in vivo was confirmed by bimolecular fluorescence complementation and coimmunoprecipitation assays. Furthermore, our gel filtration assay showed that there may exist two forms of OsTPS1 (OsTPS1a and OsTPS1b) with different elution profiles in rice. OsTPS1b was particularly cofractionated with OsTPS5 and OsTPS8 in the 360 kDa complex, while OsTPS1a was predominantly incorporated into the complexes larger than 360 kDa. Collectively, these results suggest that OsTPS family members may form trehalose-6-phosphate synthase complexes and therefore potentially modify T6P levels to regulate plant development.     

新生大鼠辣椒素处理后脊髓内阿片受体的变化

本实验用受体放射自显影方法,研究了新生大鼠辣椒素皮下注射,成年后脊髓内３Ｈ－埃托菲（３Ｈ－ｅｔｏｒｐｈｉｎｅ）结合位点数的变化。发现新生鼠辣椒素处理可以引起脊髓后角浅层及中央管周围’Ｈ－ｅｔｏｒｐｈｉｎｅ结合位点明显减,其中Ⅰ、Ⅱ层自显影银粒数减少３６％左右。Ⅲ层减少２０％,中央管周围减少１１％。而前角及背外测束３Ｈ－ｅｔｏｒｐｈｉｎｅ结合位点数无显著性差异。结果表明脊髓内初级感觉传入细纤维上有阿片受体分布。本研究为探明阿片类物质在脊髓水平的痛觉调控机制提供一定的形态学依据。     

Optimization of microwave-assisted transesterification of dry algal biomass using response surface methodology

The effect of microwave irradiation on the simultaneous extraction and transesterification (in situ transesterification) of dry algal biomass to biodiesel was investigated. A high degree of oil/lipid extraction from dry algal biomass and an efficient conversion of the oils/lipids to biodiesel were demonstrated in a set of well-designed experimental runs. A response surface methodology (RSM) was used to analyze the influence of the process variables (dry algae to methanol (wt/vol) ratio, catalyst concentration, and reaction time) on the fatty acid methyl ester conversion. Based on the experimental results and RSM analysis, the optimal conditions for this process were determined as: dry algae to methanol (wt/vol) ratio of around 1:12, catalyst concentration about 2 wt.%, and reaction time of 4 min. The algal biodiesel samples were analyzed with GC-MS and thin layer chromatography (TLC) methods. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) images of the algal biomass samples before and after the extraction/transesterification reaction are also presented.

买麻藤根的异常次生生长

买麻藤(Cnetum montanum)根的异常次生生长与茎的异常次生生长相似,位于维管束外围的薄壁组织细胞可以形成维管束,以这种方式使根加粗。并且在生长过程中以同样的方式,在维管束的外围不断形成新的维管束。这些新的维管束成环状排列,因此,在老根中呈多圈的维管束。与茎唯一不同的是根的异常次生生长为不均等的,在两个宽大的射线区外侧,没有异常的维管束形成,因此,根主要向着与两条宽大射线相垂直的方向扩展,故外形呈扁圆形。
