Efficient plant regeneration from cell cultures of ornamental statice, Limonium sinuatum mill.

Summary A plant regeneration system from cell suspension cultures was established in an important ornamental crop, Limonium sinuatum Mill. cv. ‘Early Rose’. Friable callus was initially induced from leaf segments of in vitro-cultured seedlings on 0.25% gellan gum-solidified half-strength Murashige and Skoog [1/2MS] medium containing 1.0 mg l⁻¹ (4.14 μM) picloram. These calluses were maintained as cell suspension cultures, which showed high proliferation ability with about 80 times increase in fresh weight during the 2-wk interval of subculture. Shoot regeneration from these cell cultures was achieved by cytokinins, especially zeatin, which was the most effective in producing normal shoots with reduced hyperhydration when used in combination with 0.5% gellan gum. Shoot regeneration ability was different among the cell lines originated from each different seedling. Shoot formation was observed at different frequencies on four of five cell lines whereas one cell line showed no shoot differentiation. Regenerated shoots detached from callus readily rooted 1 mo. after the transfer onto 0.5% gellan gum-solidified 1/2MS medium lacking plant growth regulators. The plantets were successfully transferred to the greenhouse after acclimatization. No ploidy changes were observed in the callus induced or in the regenerated plantlets. The regenerated plantlets that were transferred to the greenhouse after acclimatization grew normally and did not any morphological signs of somaclonal variation.

高粱(Sorghum bicolor)分子图谱的构建及寄生草(Striga asiatica)萌发诱导物基因的定位

高粱是世界上第五大主要粮食作物,也是非洲国家的主要粮食来源之一,Ｓｔｒｉｇａ ａｓｉａｔｉｃａ是一种寄生于高粱等主要农作物的野生草之一。选用两个对寄生草抗性表现差异的 高粱品系“山桂红”和“ＳＲＮ３９”作亲本,构建了一个重组近交系群体（Ｒｅｃｏｍｂｉｎａｎｔ ｉｎｂｒｅｄ, ＲＩ）,并随机筛选出９４个系用于构建分子连锁图谱和基因定位。在应用的２８６个多态性标记 中,有２５１个标记分别标定在１０条不同的连锁群上,标记间的平均图距为７．１ｃｍ,总图谱覆盖 了高粱基因组的１７７９ｃｍ,是目前国际上几个比较完整的高粱分子连锁图谱之一。群体的共 分离分析表明,与寄生草抗性有关的萌发诱导物基因（Ｇｅｒｍｉｎｉｎａｔｉｏｎ　ｓｔｉｍｕｌａｎｔ　ｇｅｎｅ－ＧｅｒｍＳｔｉｍ） 位于高粱的遗传连锁群Ｊ上,相距较近的分子标记为１３ｃｍ。进一步的精细定位分析,发现有 两个分子标记分别位于基因的两侧,距离为１．６和２．１个ｃｍ。     

高丹草EST-SSR标记的开发及其遗传多样性

对NCBI数据库中210 878条高粱EST序列进行处理, 得到57 498条无冗余EST序列, 经SSR搜索, 发现3 338个SSR分布于3 116条EST序列中, 分布频率为1/11.28 kb, 包括215种基元重复类型。其中三核苷酸重复最高, 占68.33%, 二核苷酸重复占17.97%。3 338条SSR序列中有1 694条序列能够设计出引物, 所占比例为50.75%。选取14对引物进行合成, 对50份高丹草、7份高粱和3份苏丹草材料进行了EST-SSR扩增, 共检测到72个等位变异, 平均每对引物检测出5.14个基因位点。每对引物多态性指数范围为0.54~0.93, 遗传距离的变化范围0.1646~0.6398。结果显示：供试材料具有较丰富的遗传多样性, 根据EST-SSR数据的聚类分析, 将供试材料按亲缘关系远近分为5大类, 来源相同的品种大致聚在一类, 呈现出一定的地域性分布规律。同时发现4个特异分子标记, 其中引物D1763只对314A和白壳苏丹草杂交后代GB-4-2高丹草审定品种产生特异性, 此标记已作为该材料的特异性标记用于种质资源的鉴定中, 同时表明, EST-SSR标记是高丹草遗传多样性及特异性研究的一种有效方法。

二色补血草LbDREB基因在酵母中的抗逆性分析

利用酵母表达系统研究了二色补血草的DREB基因（LbDREB）对不同胁迫的抗性。将LbDREB构建到酵母表达载体pYES2中,转化到酿酒酵母INVSc1菌株中,并以转空pYES2质粒的酵母INVSc1（pYES2）作为对照,通过比较两种酵母在不同胁迫下的存活率来研究LbDREB基因对NaCl、KH_2PO_4、Na_2CO_3、NaHCO_3、低温、干旱、CuSO_4和CdCl_2胁迫的抗性。结果表明,LbDREB转化的酵母在各种胁迫下的存活率均明显高于转空pYES2的对照酵母,说明LbDREB基因除了具有传统认为的抗旱、耐盐、抗寒的作用外,还具有抗KH_2PO_4、Na_2CO_3、NaHCO_3、CuSO_4和CdCl_2等胁迫的能力。     

不同阴离子对二色补血草盐腺Na＋分泌速率的影响

本文以二色补血草（Limonium bicolor）为实验材料,用Hoagland营养液和200mmol·L—NaCl、NaBr、NaNO3溶液分别处理12h,测定二色补血草盐腺的Na＋分泌速率、叶片Na＋含量和MDA（丙二醛）含量以及质膜透性,并利用非损伤微测技术探索可能与盐腺相关的转运蛋白,以探讨不同阴离子对二色补血草盐腺分泌Na＋的作用及其可能原因。结果表明：在NaCl处理12h时二色补血草叶片Na＋分泌速率达到最大,然后逐渐下降;不同钠盐处理下叶片Na＋分泌速率为NaCl〉NaBr=NaNO3〉Hoagland,而叶片Na＋含量NaBr〉NaCl〉NaNO3〉Hoagland;不同盐处理下叶片质膜透性和MDA含量无显著性差异;利用Na—K—C1共转运体专一性抑制剂bumetanide处理发现Na＋分泌速率显著降低。这些结果表明Na—K—Cl共转运体可能参与盐腺分泌Na＋。     

Characterization of betaines using electrospray MS/MS

Betaines are an important class of naturally occurring compounds that function as compatible solutes or osmoprotectants. Because of the permanent positive charge on the quaternary ammonium moiety, mass spectrometric analysis has been approached by desorption methods, including fast atom bombardment and plasma desorption mass spectrometry. Here we show that electrospray ionization MS gives comparable results to plasma desorption MS for a range of authentic betaine standards and betaines purified from plant extracts by ion exchange chromatography. A distinct advantage of electrospray ionization MS over plasma desorption MS is the capability of obtaining product ion spectra via MS/MS of selected parent ions, and hence structural information to discriminate between ions of identical mass.
