38份晾晒烟种质资源遗传关系的SSR分析

利用SSR标记技术对38份晾晒烟种质资源的遗传关系进行了分析。从自己开发的近3000对烟草SSR引物中随机选出30对引物,在38份供试材料中共检测出173个等位基因,每对SSR引物可检测的等位基因数为2~11个,平均为5.77个。38份材料间遗传相似系数（GS）的变化范围为0.165-0.928,平均GS 为0.546。表明38份晾晒烟的遗传多样性丰富,遗传差异较大,亲缘关系较远。聚类分析表明,在L1（GS-0.165）处可将38个品种分为2大类,即晾晒烟类群和美国从烟草起源地收集的烟草（TI：Tobacco Instruction）类群;晾晒烟类群又可进一步分为4组,其聚类结果与所期望的结果基本一致。表明SSR是一种有效、稳定和可靠的分子标记,能较好地从分子水平上揭示烟草(尤其是晾晒烟)种质资源的遗传背景和亲缘关系。     

Identification and fine mapping of a mutant gene for palealess spikelet in rice

In grass, the evolutionary relationship between lemma and palea, and their relationship to the flower organs in dicots have been variously interpreted and wildely debated. In the present study, we carried out morphological and genetic analysis of a palealess mutant (pal) from rice (Oryza sativa L.), and fine mapping the gene responsible for the mutated trait. Together, our findings indicate that the palea is replaced by two leaf-like structures in the pal flowers, and this trait is controlled by one recessive gene, termed palealess1 (pal1). With a large F2 segregating population, the pal1 gene was finally mapped into a physical region of 35 kb. Our results also suggest that the lemma and palea of rice are not homologous organs, palea is likely evolutionarily equivalent to the eudicot sepal, and the pal1 should be an A function gene for rice floral organ identity.     

粳稻子预44中稻瘟病数量抗性位点分析

稻瘟病是世界范围内影响水稻(Oryza sativa)生产的主要病害。抗稻瘟病基因的发掘和育种利用是控制稻瘟病经济、环保的有效措施。为了揭示云南地方水稻品种子预44广谱持久抗瘟机制, 利用江南香糯和子预44杂交构建的F₇重组自交群体, 采用苗期稻瘟病菌自然诱发接种法, 通过调查田间抗瘟性表型数据, 结合基因型数据对子预44中的数量抗瘟性位点进行了分析。结果表明, 在连锁系数(logarithm of odds, LOD)大于2.0的域值上, 共检测出13个QTLs, 分别位于第1、2、6、8、12号染色体上。不同位点表型贡献值差异较大, 范围为5.8%-21.9%, 其中8号染色体上标记RM72-RM404之间的QTLs可解释约61.9%的表型变异, 很可能为一个主效抗瘟QTL位点。多个位点的主效和微效抗性相结合可能是子预44持久稻瘟病抗性的分子基础。     

杉木纯林及其混交林土壤团聚体有机磷组分分布特征研究

磷素是植物生长不可缺少的营养元素,而有机磷是土壤磷库的重要组成部分,其活性大小与土壤供磷能力密切相关。采用野外调查与室内分析相结合的方法,以广西凭祥杉木纯林、杉木-火力楠混交林、杉木-米老排混交林为研究对象,探讨了不同杉木林分类型土壤团聚体中有机磷组分的分布特征,结果表明：除高稳性有机磷主要分布在大粒径团聚体中外,其余组分有机磷含量均表现为随着粒径减小而增加,其中<0.25mm粒径团聚体的有机磷含量最高,而受粒径分布影响,<2mm粒径团聚体的有机磷储量最高;<0.25mm、>2mm粒径团聚体和土壤团聚体稳定指标与各有机磷组分储量呈极显著正相关,在保持土壤稳定的基础上,可通过提高>2mm和<0.25mm粒径团聚体的占比能有效增加土壤有机磷储量;在3种林分类型中,杉木-火力楠混交林能够有效的提高土壤团聚体稳定性,提高土壤有机磷含储量。因此,选择合适的混交树种,有助于土壤生态环境质量提升及促进森林资源的可持续经营管理。     

The unconventional adverse effects of fungal pretreatment on iturin A fermentation by Bacillus amyloliquefaciens CX-20

Fungal pretreatment is the most common strategy for improving the conversion of rapeseed meal (RSM) into value-added microbial products. It was demonstrated that Bacillus amyloliquefaciens CX-20 could directly use RSM as the sole source of all nutrients except the carbon source for iturin A fermentation with high productivity. However, whether fungal pretreatment has an impact on iturin A production is still unknown. In this study, the effects of fungal pretreatment and direct bio-utilization of RSM for iturin A fermentation were comparatively analysed through screening suitable fungal species, and evaluating the relationships between iturin A production and the composition of solid fermented RSM and liquid hydrolysates. Three main unconventional adverse effects were identified. (1) Solid-state fermentation by fungi resulted in a decrease of the total nitrogen for B. amyloliquefaciens CX-20 growth and metabolism, which caused nitrogen waste from RSM. (2) The released free ammonium nitrogen in liquid hydrolysates by fungal pretreatment led to the reduction of iturin A. (3) The insoluble precipitates of hydrolysates, which were mostly ignored and wasted in previous studies, were found to have beneficial effects on producing iturin A. In conclusion, our study verifies the unconventional adverse effects of fungal pretreatment on iturin A production by B. amyloliquefaciens CX-20 compared with direct bio-utilization of RSM.     

Impact of Phytic Acid on the Physical and Oxidative Stability of Protein-Stabilized Oil-in-Water Emulsions

The effects of phytic acid on the physical and oxidative stability of flaxseed oil-in-water emulsions containing whey protein-coated lipid droplets were investigated. The surface potential, particle size, microstructure, appearance, and oxidation of these emulsions were monitored when they were stored at pH 3.5 and 7.0 for 25 days in the dark (37 °C). The phytic acid and protein-coated lipid droplets had similar charges (both negative) at pH 7.0, but had opposite charges (negative and positive) at pH 3.5. At pH 7.0, the addition of phytic acid had no impact on the physical stability of the emulsions but significantly improved their oxidative stability, which was attributed to its ability to sequester pro-oxidant transition metals (iron ions). At pH 3.5, extensive droplet aggregation and creaming occurred in the emulsions containing phytic acid, which was ascribed to charge neutralization and ion bridging. The oxidative stability of the acidified emulsions, however, still increased after addition of phytic acid, which was again attributed to its ability to chelate iron ions. Interestingly, the antioxidant activity of phytic acid decreased as its level was increased. Our results suggest that phytic acid may be used as a natural antioxidant to improve the oxidative stability of food emulsions containing polyunsaturated fatty acids, but its level must be carefully controlled.

甘蔗宿根萌发期內源激素变化与其宿根性的关系

采用酶联免疫法和茎基部取样的方式,以强宿根甘蔗品种‘新台糖22号’为对照,通过田间试验研究了同一组合(‘粤糖97-20’×ROC25)杂交后代分离产生的强宿根甘蔗品(种)系(‘云蔗06-407’、‘云蔗06-415’)和弱宿根甘蔗品(种)系(‘云蔗06-408’、‘云蔗06-416’)宿根萌发期内源激素含量的变化与甘蔗宿根性的关系。结果显示:(1)宿根萌发过程中,强宿根与弱宿根甘蔗茎基部IAA含量、ZR含量和ZR/IAA比值的变化波动大,但差异不显著。(2)强宿根与弱宿根甘蔗茎基部GA3和ABA含量、IAA/ABA和GA3/ABA比值的变化差异较大,其中ABA含量、IAA/ABA和GA3/ABA比值的差异显著,是与甘蔗宿根性关系密切的3个重要参数。(3)强宿根甘蔗ABA含量高于弱宿根甘蔗,而其IAA/ABA和GA3/ABA比值小于弱宿根甘蔗,且IAA/ABA和GA3/ABA比值随甘蔗宿根性的减弱而增大。研究认为,在宿根萌发期,甘蔗宿根性越强,ABA含量越高,IAA/ABA和GA3/ABA比值越小;而这3个重要参数均与ABA有关,进行甘蔗宿根性评价应着重参考ABA含量,同时结合IAA/ABA和GA3/ABA比值再进行深入分析鉴定。
