Legumes form a symbiotic interaction with Rhizobiaceae bacteria, which differentiate into nitrogen‐fixing bacteroids within nodules. Here, we investigated in vivo the pH of the peribacteroid space (PBS) surrounding the bacteroid and pH variation throughout symbiosis. In vivo confocal microscopy investigations, using acidotropic probes, demonstrated the acidic state of the PBS. In planta analysis of nodule senescence induced by distinct biological processes drastically increased PBS pH in the N2‐fixing zone (zone III). Therefore, the PBS acidification observed in mature bacteroids can be considered as a marker of bacteroid N2 fixation. Using a pH‐sensitive ratiometric probe, PBS pH was measured in vivo during the whole symbiotic process. We showed a progressive acidification of the PBS from the bacteroid release up to the onset of N2 fixation. Genetic and pharmacological approaches were conducted and led to disruption of the PBS acidification. Altogether, our findings shed light on the role of PBS pH of mature bacteroids in nodule functioning, providing new tools to monitor in vivo bacteroid physiology. 相似文献

Cold exposure (2°C for 7 days) in constant darkness at mummy stage induces diapause expression in 9% of the Praon volucre Haliday population. Diapausing parasitoids show a significant delay in emergence time compared with nondiapausing counterparts. A diapause‐mediated polyphenism is observed in mummy colour, with diapausing mummies being clearly darker than nondiapausing ones. The diapause status of dark mummies is confirmed by a significant reduction in metabolic rate. Diapausing parasitoids also display specific morphological characteristics: they are heavier (fresh and dry mass) and accumulate larger fat reserves than nondiapausing counterparts. The diapause status is associated with a fitness cost in terms of adult longevity. There is no evidence of diapause‐related change in supercooling ability. 相似文献

Although Ensifera is a major insect model group, its phylogenetic relationships have been understudied so far. Few phylogenetic hypotheses have been proposed, either with morphological or molecular data. The largest dataset ever used for phylogeny reconstruction on this group is molecular (16S rRNA, 18S rRNA and 28S rRNA sequences for 51 ensiferan species), which has been used twice with different resultant topologies. However, only one of these hypotheses has been adopted commonly as a reference classification. Here we re‐analyse this molecular dataset with different methods and parameters to test the robustness and the stability of the adopted phylogeny. Our study reveals the instability of phylogenetic relationships derived from this dataset, especially for the deepest nodes of the group, and suggests some guidelines for future studies. The comparison between the different classifications proposed in the past 70 years for Ensifera and our results allows the identification of potential monophyletic clades (katydids, mole crickets, scaly crickets + Malgasia, true crickets, leaf roller crickets, cave crickets) and the remaining unresolved clades (wetas, Jerusalem crickets and most of the highest rank clades) in Ensifera phylogeny. 相似文献

Certain HLA-DQ alleles are known to contribute to predisposition to coeliac disease (CD). The existence of additional independent risk-modifying loci in the HLA complex is still being debated. The DR3-DQ2 haplotype has been studied most, but the evidence is conflicting. The discrepancies may stem from the absence of such an effect, insufficient statistical power to detect an effect (i.e. small studies) and/or incomplete control of linkage disequilibrium (LD) to the neighbouring DQ-loci, known to elicit a strong effect. In the present study, we aimed to undertake a statistically high-powered family-based analysis, fully controlling effects of LD between the major DQ-risk haplotypes and neighbouring candidate loci. We investigated five markers on DR3-DQ2, DR5-DQ7 and DR7-DQ2 haplotypes in 327 Norwegian and Swedish families. Our primary finding was that TNF-308A (TNF2) was significantly associated on the DR3-DQ2 haplotype [stratum specific odds ratio (OR)=2.40 (1.25–4.48), Pc=0.009, where Pc=Pn and n=number of tests performed]. Furthermore, we confirmed earlier indications that LD between TNF2 and DQA1*05-DQB1*02 on the DR3 haplotype is more strongly maintained in family-based cases than family-based controls. In conclusion, we confirmed in this study, the largest of its kind, that additional CD risk factors independent of DQ2 alleles do exist on the DR3 haplotype. 相似文献

Under stress conditions, some microalgae up-regulate certain biosynthetic pathways, leading to the accumulation of specific
compounds. For example, changing nutrient composition can induce stress in algae’s physiological activities, which may trigger
an intense increase in carotenoid production. In this study, the change of photosynthetic functions and carotenoid production
in the green microalga Scenedesmus sp. was investigated when algal cultures were exposed to conditions including limited nitrogen content with the addition
of sodium acetate. Microalgal cultures were treated for 18 days under higher irradiance conditions. We observed a decrease
of chlorophyll content induced concomitantly with a decline of photosystem II and I photochemistry. At the same time, an important
increase in carotenoid content was detected. By using high-performance liquid chromatographic analysis, we found that the
secondary carotenoids astaxanthin and canthaxanthin were accumulated compared to controls. During the process of carotenoid
accumulation, chlorophyll degradation was found in addition to a strong decrease in photosynthetic electron transport. Such
changes may be associated with the structural reorganization of the photosynthetic apparatus and can be a useful indicator
of secondary carotenoid accumulation in algal cultures. 相似文献
