Novel source of 1RS from Baili rye conferred high resistance to diseases and enhanced yield traits to common wheat

Rye is one of the most important related species used for wheat genetic improvement and breeding programs. In the present study, five novel 1BL.1RS translocations were developed and characterized from crossing of the common wheat line A42912 and a Chinese rye “Baili”. Codominant PCR and MC-FISH determined that these five translocation lines harbored a pair of 1BL.1RS chromosomes. The MC-FISH results indicated that several accompanying mutations on the wheat chromosomes occurred during the chromosome translocation process. These five new 1BL.1RS translocation lines also exhibited high resistance to stripe rust and powdery mildew and showed significantly better yield traits in the field. The present study indicates that Baili rye may carry yet untapped and potentially important sources of resistance, which may be used for wheat genetic improvement. These five novel primary 1BL.1RS translocations are likely to find application in wheat genetic improvement programs.     

螺旋藻转化纳米元素硒的制备及其体外清除自由基活性的初步研究

研究利用高密度富硒螺旋藻(Se-SP)细胞通过生物转化制备纳米元素硒(Nano-Se)的可行性,观察Nano-Se在体外对氧自由基的清除作用。用梯度离心分选Nano-Se,原子力显微镜(AFM)、透射电镜(TEM)及X-射线能谱(EDX)联用表征纳米粒中的元素硒形态,电感耦合等离子质谱仪(ICP-MS)测定Nano-Se中的硒含量,化学发光方法检测Nano-Se在体外对超氧自由基和羟自由基的清除作用。结果发现,Nano-Se主要由元素硒构成,形态呈球形,73%的纳米粒子直径大小分布在(61±17)nm范围。Nano-Se在体外对两种氧自由基的最大清除率分别为:30.1%和27.6%,相应的EC50分别为:0.8 μg/ml和2.2 μg/ml。相同剂量时,Nano-Se对氧自由基的清除作用比硒代蛋氨酸(Se-Met)及Se-SP中其它含硒活性成分更强。结果提示,利用高密度Se-SP可诱导Nano-Se的大量生成,Se-SP转化的Nano-Se可能是一种新的抗氧化硒形态,其作用机制和体内生物活性有待深入研究。     

秦岭森林鼠类对华山松种子捕食及其扩散的影响

森林鼠类的种子贮藏行为对植物的扩散和自然更新有着非常重要的影响。通过塑料片标记法,2008和2009年的9月—11月分别在秦岭南坡的佛坪国家级自然保护区内调查了森林鼠类对华山松(Pinus armandii)种子的捕食和扩散,结果显示:森林鼠类对华山松种子有着非常大的捕食压力。在2008年,几乎所有的种子(96.4%)在第3天后就被全部取食,而在2009年,也有将近一半的种子(49.6%)在第3天后被取食。但与此同时,鼠类对华山松种子的扩散也起着非常重要的作用。尤其在2009年,第3天时鼠类最高分散贮藏了17.75%的种子,而且直到第19天后仍然有12.25%被贮藏的种子存活下来。华山松种子在两个年份间的扩散历程有很大差异。在2008年,几乎所有的种子都被鼠类取食,贮藏量非常小;而在2009年,种子被贮藏的比例显著的增加。这个结果可能与种子大小年现象有着十分紧密的联系。2008年是华山松种子的小年,产量非常低。鼠类为了满足其日常的能量需求,只能大量的取食有限的种子,而减少其贮藏量。而2009年是华山松种子的大年,产量非常高。鼠类在满足其日常能量需求的同时,还有大量剩余的种子供其贮藏。     

暗色真菌威尼克何德霉浅部皮肤及附属器感染的特征分析

目的分析暗色真菌威尼克何德霉菌浅部皮肤及附属器感染的特征。方法收集2016年5月至2020年5月期间我科就诊的威尼克何德霉感染病例7例。总结威尼克何德霉菌的特点,分析皮肤及附属器感染病例的临床特征及诊断。结果其中4例为掌黑癣病例,临床表现均为手部单个扁平、暗棕色斑片,无明显鳞屑,界限清楚。另外3例与掌黑癣的临床表现不同,分别表现为手部湿疹样改变、指甲损害及足癣样变。结论威尼克何德霉除了可引起掌黑癣外,还可能引起手部湿疹样改变、甲真菌病及足癣样变等非掌黑癣表现,掌黑癣可通过临床表现及真菌学检查诊断。若以非掌黑癣为临床表现的威尼克何德霉感染,容易误诊漏诊,应引起临床重视。

Effect of obesity on repeat revascularization in patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention with drug-eluting stents

Obesity is a major risk factor for developing coronary artery disease. The impact of obesity on prognosis among those with established coronary disease is less clear. The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of obesity on repeat revascularization in patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) with drug-eluting stents (DES). We examined 6,083 patients who were divided into three groups according to BMI: normal (BMI 18.5-24.9 kg/m(2), n = 1,592); overweight (BMI 25-29.9 kg/m(2), n = 3,026) and obese (BMI >30 kg/m(2), n = 1,465). The follow-up focused on clinical-driven repeat revascularization, including target lesion revascularization (TLR) and nonTLR. Median follow-up was 26 months (interquartile range 20-32). There was no significant difference in the incidence of TLR among normal, overweight, and obese patients (6.3% vs. 6.1% vs. 7.1%; P = 0.423). In contrast, the incidence of nonTLR was significantly higher in obese patients compared with normal and overweight (8.4% vs. 6.0% vs. 5.8%, P = 0.003). Multivariate analysis showed that obesity was an independent predictor of nonTLR during follow-up (hazard ratio = 1.39; 95% confidence interval = 1.06-1.83; P = 0.019), along with diabetes and hypercholesterolemia. Concomitant use of statins was independently associated with decreased risk of nonTLR (hazard ratio = 0.75; 95% confidence interval = 0.62-0.92; P = 0.005). In conclusion, among patients undergoing PCI with DES, obesity was not associated with TLR, but was associated with a higher risk of nonTLR.

RACK1 and CIS mediate the degradation of BimEL in cancer cells

RACK1 is a 7-WD motif-containing protein with numerous downstream effectors regulating various cellular functions. Using a yeast two-hybrid screen, we identified dynein light chain 1 as a novel interacting partner of RACK1. Additionally, we demonstrated that RACK1 formed a complex with DLC1 and Bim, specifically BimEL, in the presence of apoptotic agents. Upon paclitaxel treatment, RACK1, DLC1, and CIS mediated the degradation of BimEL through the ElonginB/C-Cullin2-CIS ubiquitin-protein isopeptide ligase complex. We further showed that RACK1 conferred paclitaxel resistance to breast cancer cells in vitro and in vivo. Finally, we observed an inverse correlation between CIS and BimEL levels in both ovarian and breast cancer cell lines and specimens. Our study suggests a role of RACK1 in protecting cancer cells from apoptosis by regulating the degradation of BimEL, which together with CIS could play an important role of drug resistance in chemotherapy.     

Exogenous gibberellic acid increases the fruit weight of ‘Comte de Paris’ pineapple by enlarging flesh cells without negative effects on fruit quality

In mainland China, the most popular pineapple cultivar is ‘Comte de Paris’. Gibberellic acids have been widely applied to enhance fruit growth in various species. To evaluate the effect of gibberellic acid (GA₃) on ‘Comte de Paris’ pineapple production and quality, pineapple fruits were sprayed with GA₃ at concentrations of 5, 20, 50, or 100 mg l⁻¹ at both 0 and 15 days after flowering (DAF). Fruits were sampled every 15 days from 0 to 60 DAF (maturation) for flow cytometric analysis and histological observation. The results showed that the treatments with the three highest concentrations of GA₃ significantly increased fruit weight, and the most effective concentration was 50 mg l⁻¹ GA₃, which increased the flesh weight by 20.3% compared to the control. Although treatment with GA₃ had little effect on the total soluble solids and fruit juice pH, it increased the vitamin C content. Although flow cytometric analysis showed that the 50 mg l⁻¹ GA₃ treatment had only a slight impact on the number of S phase cells, histological observations indicated that the increase of fruit volume and flesh weight under this GA₃ treatment was not due to the increase of cell number but a result of the increase of cell area in the fruit flesh.
