基于基因本体论的模式生物分子功能分布异同

基因本体论是关于基因和蛋白质知识的标准词汇,也是今后实现各种与基因相关的数据统一、数据转换、数据挖掘的基础。本文通过分子功能基因本体论比较了不同模式生物基因产物分子功能分布的异同。结果发现:在动物类、植物类以及真菌类模式生物中,大部分已知功能基因的分布比例是基本一致的,存在一定的同源性;但在动物中结合类基因数量较多而在植物与真菌中反而催化类基因数量较多,信号传导相关基因在动物中的分布数量多间接证明了动物在进化上的高等性,而植物中特有的大分子传递相关编码基因,可能与植物的养分、水分在机体种的传输相关。

长双歧杆菌TTF菌株增强机体免疫活性研究

通过长双岐杆菌TTF活菌、菌体破碎物和发酵上清液3种处理物灌胃正常小鼠和免疫功能低下小鼠试验发现,长双歧杆菌TTF的3种受试物对环磷酰胺（Cy）造成的免疫功能低下小鼠模型（IDMM）3项免疫指标均有显著（P〈0．05）或极显著（P〈0．01）影响,且在本试验选取的3个剂量范围内基本呈量效关系。B．longum TTF的3种受试物对IDMM的非特异性免疫功能的影响普遍大于对小鼠的细胞免疫和体液免疫的影响;对正常小鼠免疫功能影响的水平低于其对IDMM各项免疫指标的影响,且无论活菌、菌体破碎物、发酵上清液均不会改变小鼠自身正常的免疫功能。急性毒性试验表明,B．longum,TTF3种处理物对健康小鼠无急性毒性。就3种处理物来讲,发酵上清液组的效果高于菌体破碎物和活菌。

Assessment of Real-time PCR Based Methods for Quantification of Pollen-mediated Gene Flow from GM to Conventional Maize in a Field Study

Maize is one of the main crops worldwide and an increasing number of genetically modified (GM) maize varieties are cultivated and commercialized in many countries in parallel to conventional crops. Given the labeling rules established e.g. in the European Union and the necessary coexistence between GM and non-GM crops, it is important to determine the extent of pollen dissemination from transgenic maize to other cultivars under field conditions. The most widely used methods for quantitative detection of GMO are based on real-time PCR, which implies the results are expressed in genome percentages (in contrast to seed or grain percentages). Our objective was to assess the accuracy of real-time PCR based assays to accurately quantify the contents of transgenic grains in non-GM fields in comparison with the real cross-fertilization rate as determined by phenotypical analysis. We performed this study in a region where both GM and conventional maize are normally cultivated and used the predominant transgenic maize Mon810 in combination with a conventional maize variety which displays the characteristic of white grains (therefore allowing cross-pollination quantification as percentage of yellow grains). Our results indicated an excellent correlation between real-time PCR results and number of cross-fertilized grains at Mon810 levels of 0.1–10%. In contrast, Mon810 percentage estimated by weight of grains produced less accurate results. Finally, we present and discuss the pattern of pollen-mediated gene flow from GM to conventional maize in an example case under field conditions.     

Conspecificity of the model organism Ulva mutabilis and Ulva compressa (Ulvophyceae,Chlorophyta)

As one of the most abundant and ubiquitous representatives of marine and brackish coastal macrophytobenthos communities, the genus Ulva is not only an important primary producer but also of ecological and morphogenetic interest to many scientists. Ulva mutabilis became an important model organism to study morphogenesis and mutualistic interactions of macroalgae and microorganisms. Here, we report that our collections of Ulva compressa Linnaeus (1753) from Germany are conspecific with the type strains of the model organism U. mutabilis Føyn (1958), which were originally collected at Olhão on the south coast of Portugal and have from that time on been maintained in culture as gametophytic and parthenogenetic lab strains. Different approaches were used to test conspecificity: (i) comparisons of vegetative and reproductive features of cultured material of U. mutabilis and German U. compressa demonstrated a shared morphological pattern; (ii) gametes of U. compressa and U. mutabilis successfully mated and developed into fertile sporophytic first‐generation offspring; (iii) molecular phylogenetics and species delimitation analyses based on the Generalized Mixed Yule‐Coalescent method showed that U. mutabilis isolates (sl‐G[mt+]) and (wt‐G[mt‐]) and U. compressa belong to a unique Molecular Operational Taxonomic Unit. According to these findings, there is sufficient evidence that U. mutabilis and U. compressa should be regarded as conspecific.
