Argonaute 5 family proteins play crucial roles in the defence against Cymbidium mosaic virus and Odontoglossum ringspot virus in Phalaenopsis aphrodite subsp. formosana

The orchid industry faces severe threats from diseases caused by viruses. Argonaute proteins (AGOs) have been shown to be the major components in the antiviral defence systems through RNA silencing in many model plants. However, the roles of AGOs in orchids against viral infections have not been analysed comprehensively. In this study, Phalaenopsis aphrodite subsp. formosana was chosen as the representative to analyse the AGOs (PaAGOs) involved in the defence against two major viruses of orchids, Cymbidium mosaic virus (CymMV) and Odontoglossum ringspot virus (ORSV). A total of 11 PaAGOs were identified from the expression profile analyses of these PaAGOs in P. aphrodite subsp. formosana singly or doubly infected with CymMV and/or ORSV. PaAGO5b was found to be the only one highly induced. Results from overexpression of individual PaAGO5 family genes revealed that PaAGO5a and PaAGO5b play central roles in the antiviral defence mechanisms of P. aphrodite subsp. formosana. Furthermore, a virus-induced gene silencing vector based on Foxtail mosaic virus was developed to corroborate the function of PaAGO5s. The results confirmed their importance in the defences against CymMV and ORSV. Our findings may provide useful information for the breeding of traits for resistance or tolerance to CymMV or ORSV infections in Phalaenopsis orchids.     

Callus induction and somatic embryogenesis of Phalaenopsis

Callus induction and plant regeneration through somatic embryogenesis in Phalaenopsis Richard Shaffer `Santa Cruz' were examined. Protocorm-like body (PLB) segments formed calli in Vacin and Went medium with sucrose. The optimal concentration of sucrose was 40 g ⋅ l^–1. Medium containing 200 ml ⋅ l^–1 coconut water together with 40 g ⋅ l^–1 sucrose was effective for callus induction. Gellan gum was suitable than agar as a gelling agent for callus induction. The calli easily formed PLBs after being transferred to a medium without sucrose. Histological observation suggested that the PLBs were somatic embryos. No variation was observed in the flowering plants regenerated through somatic embryogenesis. Received: 11 June 1997 / Revision received: 6 October 1997 / Accepted: 18 October 1997

蝴蝶兰叶片蛋白质双向电泳方法初探

针对蝴蝶兰叶片蛋白质含量少且含有大量色素和酚等干扰物质的特点,通过对总蛋白提取方法、银染方法的改进,以及双向电泳实验条件的比较选择,初步建立一套适用于蝴蝶兰叶片蛋白质组分析的双向电泳技术。     

授粉诱导蝴蝶兰雌蕊中乙烯合成和ACC氧化酶基因表达

对蝴蝶兰（Ｐｈａｌａｅｎｏｐｓｉｓ “Ｇｅｎｅｒａｌｋｕ”ｈｏｒ．）在授粉后乙烯的合成和１－氨基环丙烷－１－羧酸（ＡＣＣ）氧化酶基因的表达进行了研究。实验结果显示在授粉后１２、２４ 和４８ ｈ,柱头和花柱中乙烯的产生和ＡＣＣ氧化酶ｍ ＲＮＡ 的积累显著下降,而子房中则明显上升,表明授粉后雌蕊中乙烯的产生与ＡＣＣ氧化酶基因的表达密切相关。此外,授粉后雌蕊的柱头中合成的乙烯相对量最多,花柱次之,子房中则较少     

蝴蝶兰原球茎增殖分化影响因子探讨

采用3个月胚龄的种胚播种形成的原球茎,初代培养时间在2.5~3个月之间换瓶转接,原球茎生长状况较好,分化形成的芽苗生长健壮;以1/2MS为基本培养基培养30d,原球茎增殖率达332%,MS培养基更有利于分化,培养2个月分化发芽率达90.6%;附加不同细胞分裂素原球茎的增殖率为6-BA >KT >Ad+KT >Ad;NAA浓度在0~1.0mg/L,对原球茎增殖分化影响不明显。     

蝴蝶兰PhalPI基因的克隆及在花器官突变体中的表达分析

为深入研究兰科植物花器官发育的调控机理,从蝴蝶兰花瓣中克隆了一个B类MADS-box转录因子PhalPI（GenBank登录号为KY020416）。序列分析表明,该基因的cDNA全长为944 bp,含完整的开放阅读框,可编码210个氨基酸,属于BGLO/PI蛋白家族,与蝴蝶兰属的PhPI10和PeMADS6基因关系最近;表达模式分析表明,PhalPI基因在生殖器官中表达,在营养器官中不表达,在授粉后的子房中,该基因的表达水平降低。在5种花器官突变体中,PhalPI基因在萼片唇瓣化突变体的萼片和蕊柱中表达水平明显升高;在雄蕊花瓣化突变体的萼片和侧瓣中表达水平降低,在其唇瓣和蕊柱中显著升高;在侧瓣合柱化突变体的蕊柱中,PhalPI基因的表达也发生了显著升高;PhalPI基因表达的改变与花器官形态的突变相关;而在侧瓣唇瓣化和侧瓣花药化突变体中,PhalPI基因的表达水平没有变化。推测该基因在决定蝴蝶兰侧瓣和唇瓣的发育中起重要的调控作用。     

14个蝴蝶兰品种遗传关系的ISSR分析

采用ISSR分子标记技术对14个蝴蝶兰品种进行品种间遗传关系的研究。利用14个筛选的引物共扩增出179条带,其中多态性条带147条,多态性条带比率(PPB)为82%。品种之间的遗传相似系数范围在0.734~0.936间,说明部分蝴蝶兰品种间存在显著的遗传分化。14个引物组合可区分所有14个品种,并且检测到20条品种特异性条带,这些品种特异条带可用来鉴定供试蝴蝶兰中的10个品种。因此,ISSR分子标记能有效地进行蝴蝶兰品种鉴定。UPGMA聚类分析表明,14个品种可聚为2类,聚类情况与花色特征比较一致,但与花色的划分结果不完全相同,这可能是由于品种间杂交引起的。本文也论讨了ISSR分析结果对蝴蝶兰育种的指导意义。     

蝴蝶兰PhTSJT1基因的克隆及在低温胁迫下的表达分析

本研究从蝴蝶兰叶片中克隆了茎部特异基因Ph TSJT1的全长序列(GenBank登录号为MF797883),并分析了其在不同组织及低温胁迫下的表达特性。结果表明,Ph TSJT1基因全长994 bp,编码239个氨基酸,属于Class-Ⅱ谷氨酰胺酰胺基转移酶超家族成员;同源性分析表明,该蛋白与多种植物的茎部特异蛋白和铝诱导蛋白有较高的同源性,进化上与小兰屿蝴蝶兰的茎部特异蛋白亲缘关系最近;该基因在营养器官中表达水平较高,在花器官中表达水平较低;13℃/8℃(昼/夜)的低温胁迫抑制PhTSJT1基因的转录表达,并随着低温胁迫时间的延长,Ph TSJT1基因的表达水平逐渐降低,在温度恢复正常时其表达水平升高;4℃冷胁迫低温条件下,PhTSJT1基因在处理1 h时,表达水平升高,处理8 h时表达水平最高,16 h后表达水平逐渐降低。由此推测,PhTSJT1参与4℃冷胁迫的分子调控。本研究不但有助于理解热带亚热带植物的耐冷机制,也为蝴蝶兰新品种的遗传改良提供帮助。
