影响芋茎尖培养中脱毒和快速繁殖的几个生理因素

以3个芋品种（‘石川早生’、‘虾籽芋’、‘叶用芋）球茎茎尖为外植体,进行脱病毒和快繁的结果表明,外植体表面灭菌的最佳方法是剥鳞片→乙醇→新洁尔灭→剥幼叶→氯化汞;适宜茎尖分化的培养基为MS＋1．0-2．0mg·L^-16-BA＋0．2mg·L^-1 NAA。生物学方法和电镜观察显示：连续3代0．5-0．7mm茎尖剥离培养对芋花叶病毒（DMV）的脱毒率达100％。在培养基MS＋0．2mg·L^-1 NAA中,适量添加6-BA和TDZ,三品种芋的试管苗增殖效果好;附加KT,试管苗生长健壮且利于生根：添加20-100mg·L^-1的精胺（spm）,可促进不定芽的发生,与KT配合使用可促使继代增殖和成苗一步完成。完整植株在草炭土：蛭石=1：1的基质中,移栽成活率超过97％,且苗生长健壮。

The Role of Viral Infection in Inducing Variability in Virus-Free Progeny in Tomato

The effect of virus-host interactions on subsequent generations is poorly understood. The evaluation of the effects of viral infection on inheritance of quantitative traits in the progeny of infected plants and elucidation of a possible relationship between chiasma frequency in the infected plants and variability of traits in the progeny were investigated. The current study involved genotypes of four intraspecific hybrids of tomato （Solanum lycopersicum L.）, their parental forms and two additional cultivars. Used as infection were the tobacco mosaic virus （TMV） and potato virus X （PVX）. The consequences of the effect of viral infection were evaluated based on chromosome pairing in diakinesis and/or by examining quantitative and qualitative traits in the progeny of the infected tomato plants. Tomato plants infected with TMV ＋ PVX were found to differ in chiasma frequency per pollen mother cell or per bivalent. Deviations have been observed for genotypes of both F1 hybrids and cultivars. At the same time, differences in mean values of the traits under study have only been found for progeny populations （F2-F4） derived from virus-infected F1 hybrids, but not in the case of progeny of the infected cultivars. The rate of recombinants combining traits of both parents increased significantly （2.22-8.24 times） in progeny populations of hybrids infected with TMV＋PVX. The above suggests that the observed effects could be the result of modification of recombination frequencies that can be manifested in heterozygous hybrids and make small contributions to variability in cases of ＇homozygous＇ tomato genotypes （i.e. cultivars）.     

“白眼病”比“红眼病”更可怕

与“红眼病”相反,“白眼病”泛指一切眼白（巩膜）不充血的眼病。近年,据眼病流行谱显示,随着心血管病、糖尿病发病率上升,因细菌、病毒、外伤等引发的“红眼病”相对减少,“白眼病”则呈逐年上升趋势。     

Expression of Outer Capsid Protein VP5 of Grass Carp Reovirus in E.coli and Analysis of its Immunogenicity

Grass carp reovirus （GCRV） is a tentative member of the Aquareovirus genus in the family Reoviridae. The mature virion comprises 11 dsRNA genomes enclosed by two concentric icosahedral proteins shells that is comprised of five core proteins and two outer capsid proteins. The genome sequence and 3D structure demonstrate there is a higher level of sequence homology in structural proteins between GCRV and mammalian orthoreoviruses （MRV） compared to other members of the family. To understand the pathogenesis of GCRV infection, the outer capsid protein VP5, a homology of the μ1 protein of MRV, was expressed in E.coli. It was found that the recombinant VP5 was highly expressed, and the expressed His-tag fusion protein was involved in the formation of the inclusion body. Additionally, specific anti-VP5 serum was prepared from purified protein and western blot demonstrated that the expressed protein was able to bind immunologically to rabbit anti GCRV particle serum and the immunogenicity was determined by ELISA assay. Additional experiments in investigating the functional properties of VP5 will further elucidate the role of the GCRV outer capsid protein VP5 during entry into host cells, and its interaction among viral proteins and host cells during the infection process.     

粘虫颗粒体病毒与苏云金杆菌联合作用对甜菜夜蛾的影响

以甜菜夜蛾为试虫,测定了粘虫颗粒体病毒（PuGV-Ps）对苏云金杆菌（Bt）毒力的增效作用。结果表明PuGV对甜菜夜蛾没有致毒作用,但Bt中加入PuGV后可以提高Bt对甜菜夜蛾的毒力,甜菜夜蛾致死中量LC50由Bt单剂的1．094mg／mL下降到0．862mg／mL,共毒系数达127。亚致死剂量Bt处理甜菜夜蛾影响了幼虫的生长发育,表现为幼虫生长量相对减少、蛹重下降、化蛹率降低和化蛹历期延长,添加了PuGV-Ps后进一步增强了Bt对甜菜夜蛾的生长发育的抑制作用。甜菜夜蛾中肠蛋白酶活性测定结果表明,PuGV-Ps对甜菜夜蛾中肠酶活性具有抑制作用;昆虫同时取食PuGV-Ps和Bt后,中肠酶液总蛋白酶活力都有所下降,在中肠酶液最适pH范围内蛋白酶活力抑制作用最明显。

丙肝病毒进入的潜在受体及其生物学作用

已确定是假定丙肝病毒（HCV）受体的细胞分子有：CD81蛋白跨膜蛋白、清道夫受体B类Ⅰ型（SR—BI）、甘露糖结合凝集素DC—SIGN和L—SIGN、低密度脂蛋白受体、乙酰肝素蛋白多糖和唾液酸受体。由于在细胞培养基中复制丙肝病毒的困难,因此这些分子大部分是通过分析它们与HCV糖蛋白E2可溶缩短形式之间的相互作用被确定的。近来研究HCV进入的主要步骤是发展假颗粒（HCVpp）,即：把未经修饰的HCV包膜糖蛋白组装到逆转录病毒核心颗粒上。这一方法可对候选受体在HCV复制周期早期步骤中的作用进行研究,所获得的数据现在能够借助新近发展的允许HCV有效扩增的细胞培养系统（HCVcc）被确认。
