Mitochondrial DNA evolution in the genus Equus 总被引:7,自引:0,他引:7
Employing mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) restriction-endonuclease maps as the
basis of comparison, we have investigated the evolutionary affinities of
the seven species generally recognized as the genus Equus. Individual
species' cleavage maps contained an average of 60 cleavage sites for 16
enzymes, of which 29 were invariant for all species. Based on an average
divergence rate of 2%/Myr, the variation between species supports a
divergence of extant lineages from a common ancestor approximately 3.9 Myr
before the present. Comparisons of cleavage maps between Equus przewalskii
(Mongolian wild horse) and E. caballus (domestic horse) yielded estimates
of nucleotide sequence divergence ranging from 0.27% to 0.41%. This range
was due to intraspecific variation, which was noted only for E. caballus.
For pairwise comparisons within this family, estimates of sequence
divergence ranged from 0% (E. hemionus onager vs. E. h. kulan) to 7.8% (E.
przewalskii vs. E. h. onager). Trees constructed according to the parsimony
principle, on the basis of 31 phylogenetically informative restriction
sites, indicate that the three extant zebra species represent a
monophyletic group with E. grevyi and E. burchelli antiquorum diverging
most recently. The phylogenetic relationships of E. africanus and E.
hemionus remain enigmatic on the basis of the mtDNA analysis, although a
recent divergence is unsupported.

The consequence of harvesting young leaves of cassava as vegetable on the vulnerability of the crop to cassava mosaic disease (CMD) and on storage root yield was investigated using 30 cassava genotypes planted in IITA fields located in the humid forest (Port Harcourt?:?Onne), forest-savannah transition (Ibadan), southern guinea savannah (Mokwa) and northern guinea savannah (Zaria) agroecologies in Nigeria. Tender apical leaves and shoots of the cassava genotypes were removed from forty plants per cassava genotype with the same number of plants considered as control. Whitefly infestation, disease incidence (DI) and symptom severity (ISS) of the disease were assessed at monthly interval for six months and also at the ninth month after planting (MAP). Yield reduction due to this treatment was calculated as percentage harvest index (HI). Whitefly population fluctuated throughout the period of observation at all locations with higher population obtained generally for treated plants compared to control plants. Sprouting leaves of some treated genotypes were observed with severe mosaic symptoms, while corresponding control showed no mosaic symptoms. Contrarily, no remarkable difference was observed in Zaria between the mean ISS of treated and control cassava genotypes. There was a highly significant difference (P?<?0.01) in DI and ISS among cassava genotypes across all locations. Also, there was a highly significant interaction (P?<?0.01) in symptom severity between location (loc) and genotype, genotype and treatment (trt), loc and trt. Interaction between loc, genotypes and trt with regard to DI was highly significant at 2, 3 and 4 MAP, while with ISS, the interaction was highly significant all through the counting period. There was a positive relationship between DI and ISS on plants of genotypes 96/1039 and ISU. The percentage HI (27.4) of treated plants of genotype 95/0166 in Ibadan was remarkably lower than the value obtained for corresponding control (41.9) plants. Also, sharp distinction in% HI of treated (39.5) and control (43.8) ISU was observed in Onne with their respective ISS values as 3.7 and 3.2. Therefore, harvesting tender apical leaves and shoots of cassava as vegetables should be discouraged as it increases the severity of CMD infection in the regenerating shoots of cassava with attendant storage root yield reduction. 相似文献

Mouse Monoclonal antibodies against human adiponectin were produced by the routine method and the specificity of antibodies was verified. These monoclonal antibodies (MoAbs) interacted with the monomeric and trimeric forms of recombinant adiponectin according to the results of a Western blot analysis. Human blood serum was fractionated by gel filtration, and the protein of these fractions was stained using labeled MoAbs. It was established that a single high-molecular-weight form (HMW) of endogenous adiponectin was detected by this method. The use of competitive enzymelinked immunoassay on the basis of the obtained MoAbs allowed us to show that the sera of healthy male donors contains lower adiponectin concentrations than that of female donors (8.42 ± 1.59 μg/ml vs. 11.01 ± 2.58 μg/ml, p = 0.01). We also detected statistically significant lower adiponectin levels in the serum of patients with coronary artery disease for both men (6.01 ± 2.73 μg/ml vs. 8.42 ± 1.59 μg/ml, p = 0.015) and women (5.79 ± 2.98 μg/ml vs. 11.01 ± 2.58 μg/ml, p = 0.0003). Therefore, the developed methods for the analysis of the HMW form of adiponectin can be helpful in the diagnostics of the possible implications and assessment of unfavorable prognoses in patients with cardiovascular disorders. 相似文献

Physiological, biochemical and histological indices in Clarias gariepinus broodstock, and teratogenic indices in embryos exposed to sublethal concentrations of naphthalene, phenanthrene and pyrene were investigated in 2014 using a static-renewal bioassay protocol. Phenanthrene (1.41 mg l?1) was the most toxic, followed by pyrene (1.53 mg l?1) and naphthalene (7.21 mg l?1), based on 96 h LC50 values. Hepatosomatic indices were significantly higher in naphthalene- and pyrene-treated males compared with solvent controls, whereas fecundity in females was significantly lower by factors of 2.4 (naphthalene), 2.8 (phenanthrene) and 2.4 (pyrene), compared with controls. Catalase levels were lower in female phenanthrene-treated fish compared with controls. Histological alterations observed in PAH-treated fish include oedema, inflammatory cells, epithelial lifting and hyperplasia in the gills, vacuolation, haemosiderin pigments and sinusoidal congestion in the liver, and degenerated zona radiata in the ovary. Teratogenic effects were not observed, as evidenced by the lack of histological alterations in embryos spawned from pre-exposed broodstock. Sex-specific responses and the utility of biomarkers at cellular and individual levels of organisation are therefore demonstrated for holistic evaluations of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons in ecotoxicological studies. 相似文献

The intermolecular noncovalent binding of complementary fibrin polymerization sites localized in fibrin domains D and E was investigated in the model system. In this system fibrinogen molecules represent the active D domains and the N-terminal disulphide knot of fibrin (N-DSK) represents the active E domain. Quantitative definition of insoluble fibrinogen and N-DSK copolymer and light scattering data of their mixtures before the appearance of visible precipitate show that complexing of these structures decreases with an increase of the temperature and ionic strength. The character of this dependence permits certain conclusions to be made on the functioning mechanism for two types of the D-E binding sites. These conclusions are based on an idea of their different affinity. The interdomain binding is primarily realized by D1-E1 sites which are characterized by a high affinity and work mainly on the basis of electrostatic forces. This binding directs the D2-E2 binding which is characterized by lower affinity and which determines the final degree of fibrinogen and N-DSK complexing. These sites function mainly by the H-binding. 相似文献

Peptides Gly-Pro-Arg-Pro and Gly-His-Arg-Pro (fibrin alpha- and beta-chain NH2-terminal analogs, respectively) are studied for their effect on fibrinogen (F) and fibrin NH2-terminal disulphide knot (N-DSK) specific binding. Both peptides are found to inhibit the formation of soluble and insoluble F-N-DSK-complexes through inhibition of the interdomain D-E-binding. Gly-Pro-Arg-Pro is much more potent inhibitor than Gly-His-Arg-Pro. Lowering the insoluble F-N-DSK-copolymer quantity by concentration-dependent way these peptides do not change its composition described by the formula [F(N-DSK)2]n. Invariability of fibrinogen and N-DSK copolymer structure is asserted. In this structure neighbouring fibrinogen molecules are bound by two N-DSK molecules via the D1-E1 and D2-E2 binding sites. 相似文献

The study on sensitivity of clinical strains of the causative agents of purulent infections to carbenicillin showed that 34.6% of the staphylococcal strains, 48.1% of the E. coli strains and 40.3% of the Proteus strains were sensitive to the antibiotic. The strains of Ps. aeruginosa were characterized by moderate sensitivity to carbenicillin. The MTC for most of the isolates ranged within 25-128 microgram/ml. High therapeutic efficacy of carbenicillin in treatment of cases with purulent inflammatory processes of various localization was shown. Positive results were obtained in 82.5% of the adults and 76.2% of the premature infants treated with carbenicillin. A satisfactory therapeutic effect was observed in the cases with sepsis, diffuse purulent peritonitis and abscessing pneumonia treated with carbenicillin in combination with gentamicin. 相似文献

The oil-oxidizing potential of associative rhizobacteria of the genus Azospirillum was studied under laboratory conditions. After screening, A. brasilense strain SR80 was chosen for further investigation. The strain was capable of degrading 56.5% of crude oil (added in a concentration of 1%) over 14 days in a medium containing malate as an additional source of carbon and energy. Studies of associative properties showed that the strain had positive chemotaxis to wheat root exudates, colonized wheat roots, and produced indolyl-3-acetic acid. The synthesis of indolyl-3-acetic acid was not inhibited by oil. Under hydroponic conditions, crude oil stimulated growth of A. brasilense SR80, which promoted development of the wheat root system in the presence of oil and enhanced the level of oil degradation by the plant-microbial association. 相似文献

It has been shown that the fungus Lentinus edodes grown on a solid wort agar substrate produces intracellular enzymes, including Mn-dependent peroxidase, laccase, and tyrosinase as a family of isoforms. The composition of the complex (containing one to four forms of each enzyme) varied during the basidiomycete life cycle. The activity of oxidases was maximal at the stage of nonpigmented mycelium and at the stages of a brown mycelial mat and a fruit body. The activity of tyrosinase increased in the course of mycelium pigmentation and had two maxima: at the stage of a brown mycelial mat and at the stage of a fruit body. Laccase and tyrosinase activities were shown to increase sharply upon addition of oak sawdust extract to the culture medium as compared with the enzyme activities of mycelium grown on wort agar alone. It was established that the effect of phenol oxidase substrates on the growing mycelium consists in a twofold acceleration of the process of morphogenesis in the fungus L. edodes. 相似文献
