一种强启动子的分离与功能

A bidirectional promoter of cotton leaf curl virus (CLCuV) was obtained from the total of DNA CLCuV infected tomato leaves by polymerase chain reaction, and the amplified DNA fragment was cloned into the vector. DNA sequences analysis and homology comparison with the promotor of four kinds of isolates recently found indicated that the cloned promoter fragment composed of 436 bp was 99.32% homolog was up to in nucleotides with that of the isolates. Transient expression vectors were constructed by fusing the promoter fragment with gus reporter gene and nopaline terminator in different orientation. These constructs were delivered into the tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum L.) and cotton ( Gossypium hirsutum L.) leaf cells for transient expression by particle bombardment. The results indicated that complementary sense promoter was a strong promoter with high activity in leaf mesophyll and vascular tissues, but virion sense promoter was weaker. The experiments suggested that isolated bidirectional promoter, as a novel strong promoter, could be used for dicots and especially cotton genetic transformation.     

Complete PHB mobilization in Escherichia coli enhances the stress tolerance: a potential biotechnological application

Background  

Poly-β-hydroxybutyrate (PHB) mobilization in bacteria has been proposed as a mechanism that can benefit their host for survival under stress conditions. Here we reported for the first time that a stress-induced system enabled E. coli, a non-PHB producer, to mobilize PHB in vivo by mimicking natural PHB accumulation bacteria.     

利用ISSR揭示不同类型月季遗传多样性

本研究应用正交设计法对ISSR反应体系中的各个主要影响因子进行了优化筛选,确立了适合月季ISSR-PCR反应的最佳体系.结果表明,25μL的ISSR反应体系中各组分的最适浓度分别为:1×PCR缓冲液、1 U Taq DNA聚合酶、800 pmol/L引物、0.16 mmol/L dNTPs、Mg2+ 1.5 mmol/L.筛选了33个ISSR引物,共得到了11个多态性比较高的ISSR引物,占所筛引物的33.33%.利用筛选出的11条ISSR引物对3种月季类型的23份月季材料进行遗传多样性分析,共扩增出477条DNA带,其中多态性位点有14个,平均每条引物可以检测到4.5个多态性位点.用NTSYS软件对样品进行了UPGMA聚类分析,聚类结果表明丰花月季基本能聚为一类,切花月季与藤本月季交叉聚在一起.这表明月季种质的遗传差异与其应用分类的相关性不紧密.

Distinctive Mesorhizobium populations associated with Cicer arietinum L. in alkaline soils of Xinjiang, China

Background and aims

Rhizobia associated with chickpea in the main chickpea production zone of Xinjiang, China have never been investigated. Here, we present the first systematic investigation of these rhizobia’s genetic diversity and symbiotic interactions with their host plant.

Methods

Ninety-five isolates obtained from chickpea nodules in eight alkaline-saline (pH?8.24–8.45) sites in Xinjiang were characterized by nodulation test, symbiotic gene analysis, PCR-based restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) of the 16S rRNA gene and 16S–23S rRNA intergenic spacer (IGS), BOX-PCR, phylogenies of 16S rRNA and housekeeping genes (atpD, recA and glnII), multilocus sequence analysis (MLSA) and DNA–DNA hybridization.

Results

All 95 isolates were identified within the genus of Mesorhizobium. Similarities less than 96.5% in MLSA and DNA–DNA hybridization values (<50%) between the new isolates and the defined Mesorhizobium species, and high similarities (>98%) of symbiotic genes (nodC and nifH) with those of the well studied chickpea microsymbioints Mesorhizobium ciceri and Mesorhizobium mediterraneum were found.

Conclusions

Chickpea rhizobia in alkaline-saline soils of Xinjiang, China, form a population distinct from the defined Mesorhizobium species. All these chickpea rhizobia in Xinjiang harbored symbiotic genes highly similar to the type strains of two well-studied chickpea rhizobia, M. ciceri and M. mediterraneum, evidencing the possible lateral transfer of symbiotic genes among these different rhizobial species. On the other hand, chickpea may strongly select rhizobia with a unique symbiotic gene background.     

2017-2020年河南省漯河市呼吸道合胞病毒流行特征研究

呼吸道合胞病毒(Respiratory syncytial virus,RSV)是引起严重急性呼吸道感染(Severe acute respiratory infection,SARI)的一个重要病原,尤其以5岁以下儿童为主.为了解河南省漯河市SARI住院患者中RSV感染的流行病学和临床特征,为RSV预防控制及临床诊疗提供科学数据,本研究采集2017年10月至2020年8月河南省漯河市SARI住院病例的咽拭子,并收集流行病学和临床信息.采用荧光定量PCR方法鉴定RSV A/B阳性病例,分析其流行病学和临床特征.结果显示,本研究共入组1335例SARI病例,其中220例(16.48％)为RSV阳性,A和B亚型分别占64.55％和30.45％.RSV感染以5岁以下儿童为主(占91.36％),2岁以下婴幼儿占RSV感染病例的一半以上(占55.37％).RSV流行高峰出现在11月-次年1月,不同年份流行季可前后相差一个月.A﹑B亚型在不同月份可单独流行也可共流行.受新型冠状病毒肺炎疫情影响,2020年2-8月SARI病例数较往年同期减少60％以上,RSV阳性率在2020年2-8月降低为0.与非RSV感染组相比,RSV更易感染2岁以下儿童,下呼吸道感染占比更高(以支气管肺炎为主).本研究通过近3年SARI病例监测,揭示河南省漯河市RSV感染以冬春季常见,以下呼吸道感染为主,主要感染5岁以下儿童,其中2岁以下婴幼儿是防控重点人群.新型冠状病毒肺炎流行期间,由于限制性防控措施的干预,RSV感染大大降低.本研究将为RSV疫苗和单克隆抗体等预防性干预手段的使用策略提供基础数据.
