Synthetic seed technology may be of value in breeding programs and allow the propagation of many elite genotype-derived plants
in a short time. In this work, a range of artificial endosperm treatments of Cleopatra tangerine zygotic embryos were evaluated
for suitability for encapsulation of somatic embryos. Different complexing ions in the form of alginate capsules, zeolite
as an ion exchanger and the relationship between capsule-nutrient gel on germination of zygotic embryos, were evaluated. Artificial
endosperm assays showed that abscisic acid (1 μM) and mannitol (0.25 M) delayed germination and conversion of zygotic embryos,
whereas amino acid supplements (proline, glutamic acid and arginine) accelerated the conversion process. An artificial endosperm
was used to encapsulate somatic and zygotic embryos. After encapsulation, zygotic embryos germinated after four days of culture
while somatic embryos germinated asynchronously after 20 days. Somatic embryo-derived plantlets showed greater vigour than
zygotic embryo-derived plantlets. Results showed that this artificial endosperm is adequate for Cleopatra tangerine somatic
embryo germination and conversion into plants.

The globulin storage protein genes of cotton are found to exist as gene tandems that contain a gene from each of the 2 globulin subfamilies separated by a spacer region of about 2700 or 3400 base pairs. Three different tandems have been identified by restriction endonuclease mapping of genomic DNA. A cDNA that is different from the genes of the tandems in map sites and/or in nucleotide sequence indicates that a fourth tandem probably exists in the cotton genome. Since the species of cotton used here (Gossypium hirsutum) is an amphidiploid, it is likely that two of the tandems are contributed from each genome.Considerable divergence in nucleotide sequence (18%) and in derived amino acid sequence (28%) is found when the 2 genes of a sequenced tandem are compared. The sequence of the cDNA closely resembles one of the genes in the tandem showing only a 4% divergence in nucleotides and a 4.2% divergence in amino acids. Thus the 2 genes of each tandem represent a relatively ancient gene duplication that has given rise to the two globulin subfamilies of cotton. Only one subfamily has a glycosylation site and the glycosylation of its derived proteins gives rise to the 2 molecular weight sets of globulins seen on gel electrophoresis.Other basic features of these genes and their derived proteins are presented. 相似文献

The oomycete pathogens produce important diseases in many plant species. To identify extensin genes expressed during the oomycete Phytophthora nicotianae-Nicotiana megalosiphon interaction, we used the SuperSAGE technology. Using this approach, we detected a N. megalosiphon extensin gene (NmEXT) triggered during the interaction. The extensin gene accumulation induced by the pathogen correlated with disease resistance in different Nicotiana species. Transient expression of NmEXT gene in susceptible Nicotiana tabacum enhanced the resistance to P. nicotianae. Our date indicated that NmEXT gene served a positive role in N. tabacum resistance against P. nicotianae. 相似文献

This paper provides an evaluation of a plant-derived HBsAg-specific antibody in the immunopurification of the recombinant HBsAg for vaccine purposes. This plant-derived antibody was obtained from different batches of 100-200kg of tobacco leaves and coupled to Sepharose CL-4B with high efficiency. The plant-derived antibody immunoaffinity matrix purification behavior (elution capacity, antigen purity, purification cycles, and ligand leakage) was comparable to that of its mouse-derived monoclonal antibody homolog. This result supports the feasibility of using this plant-derived antibody for the immunopurification of the Hepatitis B surface antigen for human use, opening a new possibility to overcome the constrain of monoclonal antibody production in mice. 相似文献

Ligand binding to TCR induces its internalization and cell surface down-modulation. These phenomena contribute to the extinction of activation signals. Due to the multicomponent nature of the TCR-CD3 complex, its internalization may be mediated by one or several of its subunits. Although it has been reported that CD3 gamma and CD3 delta contain endocytosis motifs involved in the internalization of the TCR-CD3 complex, other subunits could also be involved in this process. For instance, CD3 epsilon and CD zeta display amino acid sequences reminiscent of internalization motifs. To investigate whether CD3 epsilon bears endocytosis signals, we have analyzed the internalization capacity of a panel of deletion and point mutants of CD3 epsilon that were expressed on the cell surface independently of other TCR-CD3 subunits. Here we report that CD3 epsilon displays endocytosis determinants. These data indicate that CD3 epsilon could contribute to the internalization and cell surface down-regulation of TCR-CD3 complexes. Moreover, the existence of endocytosis signals in this polypeptide could serve to retrieve unassembled CD3 epsilon subunits or partial CD3 complexes from the plasma membrane, thus restricting the expression on the cell surface to fully functional TCR-CD3 complexes. 相似文献

Myostatin gene silenced by RNAi show a zebrafish giant phenotype 总被引:23,自引:0,他引:23
Myostatin is a member of the transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-beta) family that functions as a negative regulator of skeletal muscle development and growth. Recently, it has been reported that the transgenic zebrafish expressing myostatin prodomain exhibited an increased number of fiber in skeletal muscle. Other novel results suggest that myostatin plays a mayor role during myogenesis, apart from inhibition of proliferation as well as differentiation. We have investigated the ability of double-stranded RNA (dsRNA) to inhibit myostatin function in the zebrafish. By microinjection dsRNA, corresponding to biologically active C-terminal domain from aminoacid 268 to end codon of tilapia myostatin protein, we produced an increased body mass in treated fish. The dsRNA injection in early development stage in zebrafish produced hyperplasia or hypertrophy. In addition, the interference of gene function showed a strong dependence on the amount of dsRNA. 相似文献

Summary The temporary immersion bioreactor has been found to be an important tool for sugarcane micropropagation, allowing higher
shoot formation rates and cost reduction. This research was conducted to demonstrate the agricultural value of temporary immersion
bioreactor-derived sugarcane plants. The experiment was carried out for about 2 yr to study the field performance of these
plants. Two control treatments were also evaluated representing the conventional forms of micro- and macropropagation. Growth
of sugarcane stools, first ratoon and the use of micropropagated plants for macropropagation were recorded. Some botanical
and chemical characteristics were evaluated. Differences among propagation systems were only found in the first 6 mo. of field
growth, regarding the stem length and diameter. Such differences disappeared with the course of the experiment. 相似文献

The genotoxic potential of the natural neurotoxin Tetrodotoxin (TTX) was evaluated in a battery of in vitro and in vivo genotoxicity assays. These comprised a bacterial reverse-mutation assay (Ames test), an in vitro human lymphocyte chromosome-aberration assay, an in vivo mouse bone-marrow micronucleus assay and an in vivo rat-liver UDS assay.Maximum test concentrations in in vitro assays were determined by the TTX limit of solubility in the formulation vehicle (0.02% acetic acid solution). In the Ames test, TTX was tested at concentrations of up to 200 μg/plate. In the chromosome-aberration assay human lymphocytes were exposed to TTX at concentrations of up to 50 μg/ml for 3 and 20 h in the absence of S9, and for 3 h in the presence of S9. For the in vivo assays, maximum tested dose levels were determined by the acute lethal toxicity of TTX after subcutaneous administration. In the mouse micronucleus assay TTX dose levels of 2, 4 and 8 μg/kg were administered to male and female animals, and bone-marrow samples taken 24 and 48 h (high-dose animals only) after administration. In the UDS assay, male rats were given TTX on two occasions with a 14-h interval at dose levels of 2.4 and 8 μg/kg, the last dose being administered 2 h before liver perfusion and hepatocyte culturing. Relevant vehicle and positive control cultures and animals were included in all assays.TTX was clearly shown to lack in vitro or in vivo genotoxic activity in the assays conducted in this study. The results suggest that administration of TTX as a therapeutic analgesic agent would not pose a genotoxic risk to patients. 相似文献
