雀麦上雀麦腥黑粉菌Tilletia bromi的分子检测

雀麦是重要的牧草,近年来进口量激增。寄生于雀麦上的腥黑粉菌共有4种,即小麦矮腥黑穗菌Tilletia controversa(TCK)、雀麦腥黑粉菌T.bromi、T.bolayi和小麦网腥黑穗菌T.caries(TCT),根据冬孢子形态难以直接区分这些种类。本文在形态、自发荧光和萌发生理三方面的比较研究基础上,依据beta-微管蛋白tub2基因序列设计一套引物,转化为特异SCAR分子标记,建立了雀麦上T.bromi的菌丝基因组DNA的特异PCR检测方法和冬孢子的套式特异PCR检测方法,为病害提供了快速、可靠的检测方法。     

中国部分地区马铃薯寄主上致病疫霉SSR基因型分析

利用两对SSR引物对两个基因座Pi4B和Pi4G进行了PCR扩增,测定了中国部分地区66个致病疫霉Phyophthora infestans(马铃薯晚疫病菌)菌株和2个参考菌株的SSR基因型,并对菌株的基因型进行了鉴定和命名.在被测定的66个致病疫霉菌株中,共产生了7种SSR基因型D-03,D-05,D-06,G-02,H-01,F-01和F-06,其中F-06为本研究新命名的基因型.F-01基因型菌株53个,占总菌株数目的80.3%,该基因型为中国致病疫霉的优势基因型.在对两个基因座Pi4B和Pi4G产生的等位基因统计分析发现基因座Pi4B产生的多样性比Pi4G高.对SSR数据揭示的河北、黑龙江和云南3个不同省份致病疫霉遗传多样性的比较发现,河北省和黑龙江省致病疫霉遗传多样性几乎相同,然而与云南省致病疫霉有较大的遗传差异.此外,发现致病疫霉SSR基因型与其对甲霜灵抗性无相关性.     

A platform to standardize,store, and visualize proteomics experimental data

With the development of functional genomics research, large-scale proteomics studies are now widespread, presenting significant challenges for data storage, exchange, and analysis. Here we present the Integrated Proteomics Exploring Database （IPED） as a platform for managing proteomics experimental data （both process and result data）. IPED is based on the schema of the Proteome Experimental Data Repository （PEDRo）, and complies with the General Proteomics Standard （GPS） drafted by the Proteomics Standards Committee of the Human Proteome Organization. In our work, we developed three components for the IPED platform： the IPED client editor, IPED server software, and IPED web interface. The client editor collects experimental data and generates an extensible markup language （XML） data file compliant with PEDRo and GPS; the server software parses the XML data file and loads information into a core database; and the web interface displays experimental results, to provide a convenient graphic representation of data. Given software convenience and data abundance, IPED is a powerful platform for data exchange and presents an important resource for the proteomics community. In its current release, IPED is available at http：//www. biosino.org/iped2.

Mitochondrial pyruvate dehydrogenase E1 of Nosema bombycis： A marker in Microsporidian evolution

Microsporidia are a group of intracelluar eukaryotic parasites, which can infected almost all animals, including human beings. Till now, no mitochodria but mitosome, a remnant of mitochondria was discovered in this phylum. We present here the mitochondrial pyruvate dehydrogenase El （PDH, including PDHα and PDHβ） of the microsporidian Nosema bombycis, the pathogen of silkworm pebrine. Compared with PDH of microsporidian Encephalitozoon cuniculi and Antonospora locustae, both subunits are eonscrced. The phylogeny indicated that both subunits are mitochondrial. The syntenic maps revealed the subunits organization of NbPDH is distributed in different scaffolds, similar to that of EcPDH but different with AIPDH, and the relationship between phylogeny tree and organization of PDH suggest that the AlPDH subunits organization is the ancestral style of microsporidia, and through the genome evolution, the reshuffling of the chromosome of microsporidia occurred, the adjacent style of ALPDHE1 organization changed, and the two subunits separated and located to different chromosomes in E. cuniculi. For N. bombycis and N. ceranae, they locate to different scaffolds. In order to determine NbPDH subcellular localizations, we prepared the polyclonal antibodies against NbPDH prokaryotic fusion proteins, and adopted the colloidal gold immunological electron microscopy, the expression signals of NbPDH were observed in spores however, the subcellular localization were not definited. In general, through comparison of three mierosporidian PDH molecular phylogeny, subunits organization in chromosomes, localization indicated that PDH is an interesting marker in microsporidia evolution     

AFLP分子标记技术的改进

对AFLP技术的限制性内切酶组合进行了改进。以两个低频酶组合代替传统的高频酶与低频酶组合进行分子标记筛选,结果表明,采用低频酶组合(EcoRⅠ PstⅠ)产生的条带比传统酶切组合(EcoRⅠ MseⅠ和PstⅠ MseⅠ)要少且分布不均匀,多集中在150~800bp之间,条带信号强度要大,多态性明显得到提高,分子标记筛选成功率也得到了提高,而且其成本更低的特点有利于AFLP技术在我国的进一步推广普及。
