不同抗生素对金发草愈伤组织生长分化的影响

该研究以金发草愈伤组织为材料,通过分析比较不同抗生素种类(卡那霉素、潮霉素、头孢噻呋钠和氨苄青霉素)和浓度对金发草愈伤组织生长分化的影响,来确定适用于金发草遗传转化体系中的抗性筛选剂和抑菌剂。结果表明：(1)金发草愈伤组织对卡那霉素很敏感,且其分化率随着卡那霉素浓度的增加显著减少( P＝0.01)。当卡那霉素浓度为10 mg·L-1时,金发草愈伤组织的生长分化受到明显抑制,且有大量的白化苗形成,但分化率仍有36.56％;当卡那霉素浓度为15 mg·L-1时,金发草愈伤组织的分化率为11.94％,只有很少部分的愈伤分化出绿色的丛生苗;当卡那霉素浓度为20 mg·L-1时,金发草愈伤组织基本褐化死亡,分化率仅为2.26％。因此,浓度为15 mg·L-1的卡那霉素适合作为金发草遗传转化体系中的抗性筛选剂。(2)金发草愈伤组织对潮霉素的敏感性要比卡那霉素弱,且潮霉素对金发草愈伤组织分化率的影响小,但毒害作用大。因此,潮霉素不适合作为金发草遗传转化体系中的抗性筛选剂。(3)300 mg·L-1的头孢霉素和氨苄青霉素对金发草愈伤组织生长分化影响很小且能有效抑制杂菌的生长,较高浓度的氨苄青霉素对金发草愈伤组织的抑制作用不太明显。因此,300 mg·L-1的头孢霉素和较高浓度的氨苄青霉素均可作为金发草遗传转化体系中的抑菌剂。该研究确定了适用于农杆菌介导的金发草遗传转化体系中的抗性筛选剂和抑菌剂,为金发草的遗传改良及功能性基因的研究奠定了基础。     

High glucose represses the proliferation of tendon fibroblasts by inhibiting autophagy activation in tendon injury

Diabetic foot ulcer (DFU) is a kind of common and disabling complication of Diabetes Mellitus (DM). Emerging studies have demonstrated that tendon fibroblasts play a crucial role in remodeling phase of wound healing. However, little is known about the mechanism underlying high glucose (HG)-induced decrease in tendon fibroblasts viability. In the present study, the rat models of DFU were established, and collagen deposition, autophagy activation and cell apoptosis in tendon tissues were assessed using Hematoxylin–Eosin (HE) staining, immunohistochemistry (IHC), and TdT-mediated dUTP Nick-End Labeling (TUNEL) assay, respectively. Tendon fibroblasts were isolated from Achilles tendon of the both limbs, and the effect of HG on autophagy activation in tendon fibroblasts was assessed using Western blot analysis, Cell Counting Kit-8 (CCK-8) assay, and flow cytometry. We found that cell apoptosis was increased significantly and autophagy activation was decreased in foot tendon tissues of DFU rats compared with normal tissues. The role of HG in regulating tendon fibroblasts viability was then investigated in vitro, and data showed that HG repressed cell viability and increased cell apoptosis. Furthermore, HG treatment reduced LC3-II expression and increased p62 expression, indicating that HG repressed autophagy activation of tendon fibroblasts. The autophagy activator rapamycin reversed the effect. More importantly, rapamycin alleviated the suppressive role of HG in tendon fibroblasts viability. Taken together, our data demonstrate that HG represses tendon fibroblasts proliferation by inhibiting autophagy activation in tendon injury.     

Enhanced frequency of Beauveria bassiana blastospore transformation by restriction enzyme-mediated integration and electroporation

The techniques of restriction enzyme-mediated integration (REMI) and electroporation (EP) were applied for the first time to improving the blastospore transformation of fungal biocontrol agent Beauveria bassiana for higher frequency. The blastospores from < or =24 h incubation in glucose-mineral medium after shaking conidia for 48 h in Subouraud dextrose broth were found most competent for integrating 1 microg plasmid DNA vectoring the phosphinothricin (PPT) resistance gene bar in 360 microL reaction system containing 100 U HindIII or XbaI. Such blastospores were also most suitable for EP transformation at the optimized field strength of 10 kV cm(-1). The optimized REMI and EP generated averagely 39 and 53 transformants microg(-1) plasmid DNA whereas polyethylene glycol (PEG) integration yielded only 22. All transformants grew well on Czapek's agar containing 400 microg PPT mL(-1) after three rounds of cultivation on the same agar excluding PPT but their parental strain showed no resistance. The target gene inserted into the genomes of 10 transformants randomly taken from REMI or EP transformation was consistently detected by both PCR and Southern blotting. Compared to the PEG integration, REMI and EP enhanced the frequency of the blastospore transformation by 73 and 137%, respectively.

Xylodon subflaviporus sp. nov. (Hymenochaetales,Basidiomycota) from East Asia

Xylodon subflaviporus (Hymenochaetales, Basidiomycota) is described as a new species collected from tropical and subtropical regions of East Asia. This new species is characterized by resupinate basidiocarps, a poroid hymenophore, pseudodimitic hyphal system, nodose-septate hyphae, four types of cystidia (capitate, acicular to cylindrical, subulate to ventricose, and apically-encrusted), and thin-walled, colorless, smooth and ellipsoid basidiospores. Bayesian, Maximum Likelihood and Maximum Parsimony algorithms were used to construct phylogenies inferred from the internal transcribed spacer (ITS) region of rDNA. Morphological and molecular studies, along with intercompatibility tests, confirmed the independent status of this species. Also, based on morphological and molecular evidence, six new combinations of Xylodon are proposed to accommodate species originally classified under Hyphodontia s.l., i.e. X. bubalinus, X. chinensis, X. mollissimus, X. nongravis, X. reticulatus and X. subtropicus. A key to known species of Hyphodontia s.l. with poroid, irpicoid or raduloid hymenophores is provided for the convenience in identification.     

不同培养基质上球孢白僵菌孢子与菌丝多糖含量的变化

球孢白僵菌Beauveria bassiana(Balsamo)Vuellemin是重要的害虫生防真菌(Feng et al.,1994),其制剂在常温下长期储存是有效应用的技术瓶颈。由于菌体内源营养(如糖类)的积累是一个可控指标, 通过工艺调节内源营养积累可改善孢子的生理状态,有助于增强孢子贮存稳定性(冯明光和应盛华, 2002)。有关生防真菌孢子中糖类的研究多集中于单糖、双糖以及糖醇(Hallsworth&Magan,1994),多糖的报道仅见于芽生孢子内的糖原及其代谢的检测(Lane&Trinci,1991),不同基质对培养物多糖总量的影响还未见诸报道。本文简要报道在不同培养基质上培养的球孢白僵菌菌丝和孢子多糖的测定结果, 并就三种多糖提取方法进行了比较。     

Three new species of <Emphasis Type="Italic">Hyphodontia</Emphasis> s.l. (Basidiomycota) with poroid or raduloid hymenophore

Three species of Hyphodontia (Schizoporaceae) with poroid or raduloid hymenial surface are described as new to science. Hyphodontia chinensis sp. nov. was found in southwest and northeast China, having raduloid hymenophore, ventricose to subulate cystidia, and slightly thickened-walled, ellipsoid basidiospores; H. reticulata sp. nov. was found in central Japan and northern Taiwan, having poroid hymenophore, projecting peg-like structures, and encrusted cystidia; H. subtropica sp. nov. was collected from China (Yunnan province) and northern Vietnam, having poroid hymenophore, slightly apically swollen cystidioles, and pseudodimitic hyphal system. Both maximum parsimony and Bayesian methods were used to construct the phylogenetic trees based on ITS (internal transcribed spacer) sequences. The independent status of each proposed new species is based on morphological study, further confirmed by ITS-based phylogenetic analysis. The recently presented H. dimitica is found to be conspecific with H. nongravis, based on morphological and molecular evidences.
