罗非鱼TRAF3基因的表达及功能研究

肿瘤坏死因子受体(TNFR)相关因子3(TRAF3)是多种免疫途径中的关键调控因子。从尼罗罗非鱼(Oreochromis niloticus)中克隆获得了TRAF3基因, 命名为OnTRAF3(GeneBank No. MN258118), 该基因包含1个环指结构域、1个锌指结构域、1个卷曲螺旋和MATH结构域。多序列比对表明, OnTRAF3与其他已知的TRAF3蛋白具有高度的相似性, 尤其是MATH结构域。实时荧光定量PCR(qRT-PCR)分析显示, OnTRAF3在各组织中广泛分布, 且在脑、皮肤、肠和鳃中表达量较高。在无乳链球菌诱导后, 多个组织中的OnTRAF3表达量出现了不同程度的上调, 说明OnTRAF3参与了罗非鱼的抗菌免疫应答。亚细胞定位实验显示, OnTRAF3分布在HEK293的细胞质和细胞核中。此外, 荧光素酶报告基因实验结果显示, 野生型(WT)OnTRAF3可显著激活NF-κB信号, 而coiled-coil和MATH 结构域缺失后, 依然能够显著激活NF-κB 活性, 而RING 和Zinc缺失后, 该激活作用则明显减弱, 表明RING 和Zinc 结构域是OnTRAF3在免疫信号通路中行使功能的关键结构域。研究为探索TRAF3在罗非鱼免疫应答中的功能提供了重要的基础。     

SRY盒基因在斑马鱼和胡子鲇中的保守性分析

本文采用人类SRY基因探针,与EcoRI消化的中国的胡子鲇(Clarias fusc us)和美国的斑马鱼(Brachydanio rerio)基因组DNA进行了Southern印迹杂交分析。首次在这两种鱼中发现了SRY盒基因及其存在特征;在斑马鱼中发现了明显的限制性片段长度多态性; 并深入分析了SRY盒基因的进化保守性。 Abstract:Using,Southern bloting analysis,EcoRI-digested genomic DNA from Clarias fuscus and Brachydanio rerio were hybridizae to human SRY probe.Hybridization occurred in both male and female of the two species.RFLP associated with SRY-box genes was observed in Brachydanio rerio.The conservation of SRY-box genes was analysed.     

Herbicidal Activity of Toxin from Fusarium avenaceum GD-2 against Wild Oats (Avena fatua L.)

The herbicidal activity potential of toxin from Fusarium avenaceum GD-2 was evaluated against wild oats (Avena fatua L.) in this study. The toxin was assayed in vitro to evaluate its inhibition against seed germination of A. fatua. The toxin of F. avenaceum GD-2 was shown to have an inhibitory effect of around 77.54% at 5 mg/mL against germination of A. fatua seeds. The inhibitory effect shown by the toxins against radicle had higher activity than plumule under the same concentration. The toxin of F. avenaceum GD-2 significantly diminished the plant length the part on the ground with various treatments when treated with the toxin under greenhouse conditions. However, there were no significantly different reductions in plant length and the weed fresh weight with different treatments. In detached leaf injection bioassay, the toxic metabolite was characterized after the culture filtrates crude extraction with petroleum ether, chloroform, ethyl acetate and n-butanol. The residues left after solvent evaporation were evaluated separately for their toxicity against the target weed. Residue (5 mg/mL) obtained from n butanol fraction showed the highest toxic activity when compared with others. Moreover, a host range experiments on the sensitivity of 10 plant species revealed that barnyard grasses and goosefeet were more sensitive to the toxin of the culture filtrate. Three herbicidal active compounds were isolated and purified from cultural filtrate with the same UV absorption peak. The recent results showed potential for the development of the toxins produced by F. avenaceum GD-2 as a bio herbicidal source to control and eliminate A. fatua weed.     

人工湿地系统对污水磷的净化效果

建立以亚热带湿生、水生植物为主的十二套下流行一上流－上行流人工湿地系统作为处理城镇生活污水的对策。以其中四套研究其在不同的水力负荷及气候条件下对污水中磷的去除效果。人工湿地系统随处理运行时间的推移趋于稳定,对污水中的总磷、无机磷显示较好的净化效率,平均去除率在冬季达到４０％以上,夏季达到６０％以上,出水达到国家地面水Ⅲ级标准。水生植物在系统中起到明显作用,有植物系统的除磷效率及稳定性均高于无植物对照,其中２号茭白－石菖蒲系统的效果最好,总磷平均去除率为６５％。４号9蔗－苔草系统在高水力负荷下的净效果优于２号。水力负荷的增加对系统的净效果没有明显影响。

应用微卫星标记进行大豆种质多样性和遗传变异性分析

微卫星标记又称ＳＳＲ标记是近年来发展的一种新型的分子标记可有效地进行基因型鉴定,系统谱分析并可估算材料间的遗传距离。用５对ＳＳＲ引物对１５份大豆材料进行扩增,共得到２１条多态性条带。每个ＳＳＲ座位的等侠基因数目为３～＾个,基因多样性范围为０．４３７～０．６６８,对这些材料进行了遗传距离分析。家系分析表明微卫星ＤＮＡ经过多世代的九分裂的后产生了突变,在ＲＩＬ Ｆ８代中有的个体在个别ＳＳＲ等基因的大小
