Inoculation of soybean (Glycine max. (L.) Merr.) with genistein-preincubated Bradyrhizobium japonicum or genistein directly applied into soil increases soybean protein and dry matter yield under short season conditions

In short-season soybean production areas, low soil temperature is the major factor limiting plant growth and yield. The decreases in soybean yield at low temperatures are mainly due to nitrogen limitation. Genistein, the most effective plant-to-bacterium signal in the soybean (Glycine max (L.) Merr.) nitrogen fixation symbiosis, was used to pretreat Bradyrhizobium japonicum. We have previously reported that this increased soybean nodulation and nitrogen fixation in growth chamber studies. Two field experiments were conducted on two adjacent sites in 1994 to determine whether the incubation of B. japonicum with genistein, prior to application as an inoculant, or genistein, without B. japonicum, applied onto seeds in the furrow at the time of planting, increased soybean grain yield and protein yield in short season areas. The results of these experiments indicated that genistein-preincubated bradyrhizobia increased the grain yield and protein yield of AC Bravor, the later maturing of the two cultivars tested. Genistein without B. japonicum, applied onto seeds in the furrow at the time of planting also increased both grain and protein yield by stimulation of native soil B. japonicum. Interactions existed between genistein application and soybean cultivars, and indicated that the cultivar with the greatest yield potential responded more to genistein addition.     

丝孢酵母高甲硫氨酸突变株的选育及营养调控

以丝孢酵母(Trichosporon Behr)ST851为原始菌株,经紫外线诱变,在含乙硫氨酸的双层平板上筛选到多株抗乙硫氨酸突变株。其中ST851-10株抗乙硫氨酸浓度达到350μg/ml,其菌体蛋白质含量由40.5％提高到44.3％,菌体甲硫氨酸含量由20.45mg/g-DCW增加到29.32mg/g-DCW。在以苹果渣为碳源、尿素为氮源、硫酸镁作硫源的最适培养条件下,固态发酵24h后,蛋白质和甲硫氨酸含量较原始菌株分别提高了15.8％和44.9％。培养基中C/N值低有利于甲硫氨酸的合成,C/N值高则适合于菌体生长。在苹果渣固态发酵过程中,适当补加氮源既有利于菌体生长和甲硫氨酸的合成,又可起到调节培养基pH值的作用。     

链孢囊放线菌及其相关菌的数值分类研究

对链孢囊菌属的28株放线菌和4株气丝可形成孢囊的放线菌进行了形态、生理生化特性、生长条件、抗生素敏感性、抗菌谱等107项试验测定。根据Ssm相似性系数及平均链锁聚类方式,借助于电子计算机对这些菌株进行了比较。结果表明,11株国际公认的链孢囊菌属的标准菌和一株已知的链孢囊菌与供试未知菌,在59％的水平上归为一群。通过数值分类把所比较的菌株在77％水平上区分为不同的表观群,为进一步的分子分类学研究和种的鉴定提供了依据。     

Auxin levels and auxin binding protein availability inrolB transformedBeta vulgaris cells

The final biological effect of auxin depends both on free auxin levels and on auxin perception capacity.RolB transformedBeta vulgaris L. hairy roots provide a system for studying both factors. Highly purified plasma membrane fractions were prepared with aqueous two-phase partitioning. Individual hairy root clones were assessed for the binding activities of plasma membrane-bound auxin binding proteins and for their free intracellular indole-3-acetic acid levels. The presence of a high affinity auxin binding protein with a dissociation constant of 9.07 x 10^?7 M was detected in the plasma membrane fractions isolated from non-transformed seedling roots and the six clones ofrolB transformed hairy roots. However, the levels of specific IAA binding considerably varied among different hairy root clones and between transformed and non-transformed roots. The levels of the detectable polypeptide in immunoblotting with an antibody against maize 22-kD auxin binding protein subunit were in good agreement to the levels that were detected in auxin binding assays. Differences in the indole-3-acetic acid levels were found between transformed and non-transformed roots and also between different transformed hairy root clones. A negative correlation was observed between free intracellular IAA levels and its specific binding to the plasma membrane-bound auxin binding proteins. A latency study indicated that the binding site for auxin may be located on the exterior face of the plasma membrane
