Background
Olive trees (Olea europaea subsp. europaea var. europaea) naturally grow in areas spanning the Mediterranean basin and towards the East, including the Middle East. In the Iranian plateau, the presence of olives has been documented since very ancient times, though the early history of the crop in this area is shrouded in uncertainty.Methods
The varieties presently cultivated in Iran and trees of an unknown cultivation status, surviving under extreme climate and soil conditions, were sampled from different provinces and compared with a set of Mediterranean cultivars. All samples were analyzed using SSR and chloroplast markers to establish the relationships between Iranian olives and Mediterranean varieties, to shed light on the origins of Iranian olives and to verify their contribution to the development of the current global olive variation.Results
Iranian cultivars and ecotypes, when analyzed using SSR markers, clustered separately from Mediterranean cultivars and showed a high number of private alleles, on the contrary, they shared the same single chlorotype with the most widespread varieties cultivated in the Mediterranean.Conclusion
We hypothesized that Iranian and Mediterranean olive trees may have had a common origin from a unique center in the Near East region, possibly including the western Iranian area. The present pattern of variation may have derived from different environmental conditions, distinct levels and selection criteria, and divergent breeding opportunities found by Mediterranean and Iranian olives.These unexpected findings emphasize the importance of studying the Iranian olive germplasm as a promising but endangered source of variation. 相似文献2.

Summary Scanning electron microscopy, light microscopy, and gravimetric analysis was used to evaluate stomatal function, epicuticular
wax, and the stem-root transition region of grape (Vitis sp. ‘Valiant’) plantlets grownin vitro, polyethylene glycoltreatedin vitro, and greenhouse-grown plants. Scanning electron microscopic studies of leaf surfaces ofin vitro-grown plants showed widely open stomata as compared to leaf stomata of polyethylene glycol-treatedin vitro-cultured and greenhouse-grown plants. Ultrastructurally, leaf epicuticular wax ofin vitro plants was less dense than in their polyethylene-treated and greenhouse counterparts. Quantitatively,in vitro-grown plants had reduced epicuticular was as compared to polyethylene glycol-treated and greenhouse-grown plants. Light microscopic
studies showed no obvious differences in the vascular connections in the stem-root transition region ofin vitro-cultured, polyethylene glycol-treatedin vitro-cultured, and greenhouse-grown plants. It is therefore likely that the rapid wilting and desiccation observed after transplantingin vitro grape plantlets is due to their defective stomatal function and reduced epicuticular wax and may not be due to poor water
transport associated with vascular connection. 相似文献

The receptor tyrosine kinase (RTK) ROR1 is overexpressed and of importance for the survival of various malignancies, including lung adenocarcinoma, breast cancer and chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL). There is limited information however on ROR1 in melanoma. In the present study we analysed in seven melanoma cell lines ROR1 expression and phosphorylation as well as the effects of anti-ROR1 monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) and ROR1 suppressing siRNA on cell survival. ROR1 was overexpressed at the protein level to a varying degree and phosphorylated at tyrosine and serine residues. Three of our four self-produced anti-ROR1 mAbs (clones 3H9, 5F1 and 1A8) induced a significant direct apoptosis of the ESTDAB049, ESTDAB112, DFW and A375 cell lines as well as cell death in complement dependent cytotoxicity (CDC) and antibody dependent cellular cytotoxicity (ADCC). The ESTDAB081 and 094 cell lines respectively were resistant to direct apoptosis of the four anti-ROR1 mAbs alone but not in CDC or ADCC. ROR1 siRNA transfection induced downregulation of ROR1 expression both at mRNA and protein levels proceeded by apoptosis of the melanoma cells (ESTDAB049, ESTDAB112, DFW and A375) including ESTDAB081, which was resistant to the direct apoptotic effect of the mAbs. The results indicate that ROR1 may play a role in the survival of melanoma cells. The surface expression of ROR1 on melanoma cells may support the notion that ROR1 might be a suitable target for mAb therapy. 相似文献

Pseudomonas aeruginosa is a highly adaptable opportunistic pathogen. It can infect vulnerable patients such as those with cystic fibrosis or hospitalized in intensive care units where it is responsible for both acute and chronic infection. The switch between these infections is controlled by a complex regulatory system involving the central GacS/GacA two-component system that activates the production of two small non-coding RNAs. GacS is a histidine kinase harboring one periplasmic detection domain, two inner-membrane helices and three H1/D1/H2 cytoplasmic domains. By detecting a yet unknown signal, the GacS histidine-kinase periplasmic detection domain (GacSp) is predicted to play a key role in activating the GacS/GacA pathway. Here, we present the chemical shift assignment of 96 % of backbone atoms (HN, N, C, Cα, Cβ and Hα), 88 % aliphatic hydrogen atoms and 90 % of aliphatic carbon atoms of this domain. The NMR-chemical shift data, on the basis of Talos server secondary structure predictions, reveal that GacSp consists of 3 β-strands, 3 α-helices and a major loop devoid of secondary structures. 相似文献
