人体肺腺癌细胞系LTEP-a1的高分辨染色体研究

应用低浓度秋水仙素处理的方法,对人肺腺癌细胞系LTEP-a1的早中期细胞进行G显带分析。该细胞系第20代培养细胞的染色体众数为100—110,每细胞中有正常染色体32—52条,异常染色体47—73条。共发现17个可以识别其结构的恒定标记染色体,其中有6个涉及1号染色体的断裂和重排,断裂点分别位于lp22、lq11和着丝粒附近。lP31 p36的缺失是作者所分析的3个人肺腺癌细胞系中共有的染色体异常,这一细胞遗传学的改变可能与人肺腺癌的生成有重要联系。

Isolation and functional analysis of a Brassica juncea gene encoding a com-ponent of auxin efflux carrier

Polar auxin transport plays a divergent role in plant growth and developmental processes including root and embryo development, vascular pattern formation and cell elongation. Recently isolated Arabidopsis pin gene family was believed to encode a component of auxin efflux carrier (G(?)lweiler et al, 1998). Based on the Arabidopsis pin1 sequence we have isolated a Brassica juncea cDNA (designated Bjpin1), which encoded a 70-kDa putative auxin efflux carrier. Deduced BjPIN1 shared 65% identities at protein level with AtPINl and was highly homologous to other putative PIN proteins of Arabidopsis (with highest homology to AtPIN3). Hydrophobic analysis showed similar structures between BjPINl and AtPIN proteins. Presence of 6 exons (varying in size between 65 bp and 1229 bp) and 5 introns (sizes between 89 bp and 463 bp) in the genomic fragment was revealed by comparing the genomic and cDNA sequences. Northern blot analysis indicated that Bjpin1 was expressed in most of the tissues tested, with a relatively h     

Host plant mediation of diapause induction in the cabbage beetle, Colaphellus bowringi Baly （Coleoptera： Chrysomelidae）

The cabbage beetle, Colaphellus bowringiBaly （Coleoptera： Chrysomelidae）, is a serious pest of crucifers in China, undergoing an imaginal summer and winter diapause in the soil. The effects of host plants on diapause incidence were tested in the beetle. The ratio of adults entering diapause was significantly low when they fed on the mature leaves of Chinese cabbage Shanghaiqin （Brassica chinesis var communis） than those feeding on Chinese cabbage Suzhouqin （Brassica chinesis var communis）, radish （Raphanus sativus var longipinnatus） and stem mustard （Brassicajuncea vat tumida） at 25℃ combined with 13：11 （L： D） h. Fewer adults entered diapause on young leaves compared to physiologically aged and mature radish leaves at 25℃ combined with 13：11 （L： D） h. The effect of host plant species on diapause induction was also evident under continuously dark rearing conditions or at different photoperiods. These experimental results demonstrate that host plant mediation of diapause induction exists in the cabbage beetle. However, at temperatures ≤20℃ or photoperiods of 16：8 （L： D） h combined with 25℃, all individuals entered diapause regardless of the host plants, indicating that the effects of host plants on diapause induction could be expressed only within a limited range of temperatures and photoperiods.     

偏分离分子标记的作图方法

对取自MAPMAKER软件小鼠F2群体(含333个体)的5个RFLP连锁标记数据作了共显性分子标记偏分离的分析。先确定选择类型的方程组(配子或合子),随后采用Newton-Raphson迭代法估算标记间的重组值。在构建分子标记遗传图谱时,如果两个相邻标记均存在偏分离,最好采用纳入偏分离因子的估算方法。在估计F2群体标记间偏分离重组距离上,用连续χ2检测方法比传统χ2检测更为准确。Abstract The comparative analysis of segregation distortions of the codominant markers data presented in software MAPMAKER are made, where five RFLPs markers involve in a mouse F2 population with 333 individuals. The successive χ2 test begins with the determinations of gametic or zygotic selection types, followed by the estimation of recombination fractions between two markers with the Newton-Raphson iteration method. It is better to use the molecular marker showing segregation distortion for constructing a genetic map, in the case of seriously skew segregation between both the adjoining markers. The successive χ2 test provides better accuracy than that of classical χ2 test for the estimation of the recombination values in F2 population with segregation distortion.
