Self‐incompatibility (SI) is the main mechanism that favors outcrossing in plants. By limiting compatible matings, SI interferes in fruit production and breeding of new cultivars. In the Oleeae tribe (Oleaceae), an unusual diallelic SI system (DSI) has been proposed for three distantly related species including the olive (Olea europaea), but empirical evidence has remained controversial for this latter. The olive domestication is a complex process with multiple origins. As a consequence, the mixing of S‐alleles from two distinct taxa, the possible artificial selection of self‐compatible mutants and the large phenological variation of blooming may constitute obstacles for deciphering SI in olive. Here, we investigate cross‐genotype compatibilities in the Saharan wild olive (O. e. subsp. laperrinei). As this taxon was geographically isolated for thousands of years, SI should not be affected by human selection. A population of 37 mature individuals maintained in a collection was investigated. Several embryos per mother were genotyped with microsatellites in order to identify compatible fathers that contributed to fertilization. While the pollination was limited by distance inside the collection, our results strongly support the DSI hypothesis, and all individuals were assigned to two incompatibility groups (G1 and G2). No self‐fertilization was observed in our conditions. In contrast, crosses between full or half siblings were frequent (ca. 45%), which is likely due to a nonrandom assortment of related trees in the collection. Finally, implications of our results for orchard management and the conservation of olive genetic resources are discussed. 相似文献

Endoribonuclease III (RNase III) plays an important role in the processing of rRNA and mRNAs. It is timely to summarize the most relevant insights obtained during the last years stemming from RNase III. With this aim, the present mini-review provides a wealth of new information focusing on the distribution and architecture of RNase III, substrate recognition, cleavage mechanisms and regulation of gene expression. 相似文献

What started out as a mere attempt to tentatively identify proteins in experimental cancer-related 2D-PAGE maps developed into VIRTUAL2D, a web-accessible repository for theoretical pI/MW charts for 92 organisms. Using publicly available expression data, we developed a collection of tissue-specific plots based on differential gene expression between normal and diseased states. We use this comparative cancer proteomics knowledge base, known as the tissue molecular anatomy project (TMAP), to uncover threads of cancer markers common to several types of cancer and to relate this information to established biological pathways. 相似文献

The available archive of sequence databases compiled from whole genome projects and budding proteomics efforts have enabled us to develop VIRTUAL2D, an interactive system for the assembly of virtual protein expression maps computed on the basis of theoretical isoelectric focusing point, molecular weight, tissue specificity and relative abundance for any set of proteins currently catalogued. This tool will assist in the preliminary, albeit putative, prediction of the identity and location of unknown and/or low abundance proteins in experimentally derived two-dimensional polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis maps. 相似文献

Nisin A and polymyxin B were tested alone and in combination in order to test their antagonism against Listeria innocua HPB13 and Escherichia coli RR1, respectively. While the combination of both antibacterial substances was synergistically active against both target bacteria, nisin A alone did not show any inhibition of E. coli RR1. The nisin A/polymyxin B combination at 1.56/2.5 μg ml?1 caused lysis of about 35.86 ± 0.35 and 73.36 ± 0.14% of L. innocua HPB13 cells after 3 and 18 h, respectively. Polymyxin B at 0.12 μg ml?1 and nisin A/polymyxin B at 4.64/0.12 μg ml?1 decreased the numbers of viable E. coli RR1 cells by about 0.23 and 0.65 log10 CFU ml?1, respectively, compared to the control. Our data suggest that the concentration of nisin A required for the effective control of pathogenic strains Listeria spp. could be lowered considerably by combination with polymyxin B. The use of lower concentrations of nisin A or polymyxin B should slow the emergence of bacterial populations resistant to these agents. 相似文献

Adult mammalian hearts respond to injury with scar formation and not with cardiomyocyte proliferation, the cellular basis of regeneration. Although cardiogenic progenitor cells may maintain myocardial turnover, they do not give rise to a robust regenerative response. Here we show that extracellular periostin induced reentry of differentiated mammalian cardiomyocytes into the cell cycle. Periostin stimulated mononucleated cardiomyocytes to go through the full mitotic cell cycle. Periostin activated alphaV, beta1, beta3 and beta5 integrins located in the cardiomyocyte cell membrane. Activation of phosphatidylinositol-3-OH kinase was required for periostin-induced reentry of cardiomyocytes into the cell cycle and was sufficient for cell-cycle reentry in the absence of periostin. After myocardial infarction, periostin-induced cardiomyocyte cell-cycle reentry and mitosis were associated with improved ventricular remodeling and myocardial function, reduced fibrosis and infarct size, and increased angiogenesis. Thus, periostin and the pathway that it regulates may provide a target for innovative strategies to treat heart failure. 相似文献

Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex (MTBC) comprises closely related species responsible for human and animal tuberculosis (TB). Efficient species determination is useful for epidemiological purposes, especially for the elucidation of the zoonotic contribution. In Algeria, data on MTBC genotypes are largely unknown. In this study, we aimed to investigate the occurrence and diversity of MTBC genotypes causing human and bovine TB in Northern Algeria. During a two-year sampling period (2017–2019) in two regions of Northern Algeria, we observed an overall prevalence of 6.5% of tuberculosis (TB) among slaughtered cattle, which is higher than previous Algerian data yet comparable to neighboring countries. A total of 296 Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex (MTBC) isolates were genotyped by spoligotyping: 181 from tissues with TB-like lesions collected from 181 cattle carcasses and 115 from TB patients. In human isolates, we identified 107 M. tuberculosis, seven M. bovis and one “M. pinnipedii-like”, while for bovine samples, 174 isolates were identified as M. bovis, three as M. caprae, three as “M. pinnipedii-like” and one as “M. microti-like”. The majority of isolates (89.2%) belonged to 72 different known Shared International Types (SIT) or M. bovis spoligotypes (SB), while we also identified seven new SB profiles (SB2695 to SB2701). Twenty-eight of the SB profiles were new to Algeria. Our data suggest zoonotic transmission in Sétif, where significantly more TB was observed among cattle (20%) compared to the slaughterhouses from the three other regions (5.4%–7.3%) (p < 0.0001), with the isolation of the same M. bovis genotypes from TB patients. The present study showed a high genetic diversity of MTBC isolated from human and cattle in Northern Algeria. Even though relatively small in terms of numbers, our data suggest the zoonotic transmission of TB from cattle to humans, suggesting the need for stronger eradication strategies for bovine TB. 相似文献
