A wide-ranging examination of plastid (pt)DNA sequence homologies within
higher plant nuclear genomes (promiscuous DNA) was undertaken. Digestion
with methylation-sensitive restriction enzymes and Southern analysis was
used to distinguish plastid and nuclear DNA in order to assess the extent
of variability of promiscuous sequences within and between plant species.
Some species, such as Gossypium hirsutum (cotton), Nicotiana tabacum
(tobacco), and Chenopodium quinoa, showed homogenity of these sequences,
while intraspecific sequence variation was observed among different
cultivars of Pisum sativum (pea), Hordeum vulgare (barley), and Triticum
aestivum (wheat). Hypervariability of plastid sequence homologies was
identified in the nuclear genomes of Spinacea oleracea (spinach) and Beta
vulgaris (beet), in which individual plants were shown to possess a unique
spectrum of nuclear sequences with ptDNA homology. This hypervariability
apparently extended to somatic variation in B. vulgaris. No sequences with
ptDNA homology were identified by this method in the nuclear genome of
Arabidopsis thaliana.

Six experiments (including pretreatment, embryonic callus induction media, preculture conditions, embryo induction media,
embryo germination media, and genotypic effects) were conducted to develop an efficient cucumber (Cucumis sativus L., 2n = 2x = 14) anther culture protocol. Pretreatment and embryo induction were key factors for successful anther culture. Suitable
temperature stress depended on the ecotype, i.e., cucumbers from cold areas responded well to cold shock whereas those from
temperate areas responded well to heat treatment. The best medium for embryonic callus induction was MS medium supplemented
with 4.44 μM BA, 2.26 μM 2, 4-D, 4.64 μM KIN, 3% sucrose and 0.8% agar. For embryo induction, MS medium supplemented with
0.54 μM NAA, 13.32 μM BA, 3% sucrose and 0.8% agar was optimal, and for embryo germination MS medium containing 2.22 μM BA,
6% sucrose and 1.2% agar was best. Using this protocol, we produced callus from 16 genotypes and regenerated plants from three
of 20 evaluated. Three embryos per anther and 42 DH per 45 anthers (93% success) were obtained for cv. Ningjia No. 1, which
was an improved result over a previous report. The origin of regenerants from microspores was determined by cytological, morphological
and AFLP analyses. 相似文献

We used a newly synthesized allotetraploid between C. sativus (2n = 2x = 14, n gametic chromosome number, x haploid chromosome number) and C. hystrix (2n = 2x = 24) to study the genomic events in its early generations. Results from cytological characterization of the F1 and the allotetraploid progenies showed that the rate of bivalents in meiotic metaphase I of the F1 was greatly improved by chromosome doubling, and further improved during the selfing process of allopolyploid resulting into
relatively diploid-like meiosis. Extensive genomic changes were detected by amplified fragment length polymorphism analysis.
The changes mainly involved loss of parental restriction fragments and gaining of novel fragments. The total detectable changes
were from 11.1 to 32.1%, and the frequency of losing parental fragments was much higher than that of gaining novel fragments.
Some of the changes were initiated as early as in the F1 hybrid, whereas others occurred after chromosome doubling (polyploid formation). No significant differences were detected
in the reciprocal F1 hybrids and S0 generations. But the data showed that the frequency of sequence losing in C. sativus was about two times higher than in the C. hystrix. Our results demonstrated that the sequence elimination was the major event of genomic changes, and it might provide the
physical basis for the diploid-like meiotic behavior in the diploidization of the newly formed allopolyploids. Moreover, the
results suggest that the sequence elimination was not caused by cytoplasmic factors, and might relate to genomic recombination
and to the numbers of parental chromosome. 相似文献

The phylogeny of Greya Busck (Lepidoptera: Prodoxidae) was inferred from
nucleotide sequence variation across a 765-bp region in the cytochrome
oxidase I and II genes of the mitochondrial genome. Most parsimonious
relationships of 25 haplotypes from 16 Greya species and two outgroup
genera (Tetragma and Prodoxus) showed substantial congruence with the
species relationships indicated by morphological variation. Differences
between mitochondrial and morphological trees were found primarily in the
positions of two species, G. variabilis and G. pectinifera, and in the
branching order of the three major species groups in the genus. Conflicts
between the data sets were examined by comparing levels of homoplasy in
characters supporting alternative hypotheses. The phylogeny of Greya
species suggests that host-plant association at the family level and larval
feeding mode are conservative characters. Transition/transversion ratios
estimated by reconstruction of nucleotide substitutions on the phylogeny
had a range of 2.0-9.3, when different subsets of the phylogeny were used.
The decline of this ratio with the increase in maximum sequence divergence
among taxa indicates that transitions are masked by transversions along
deeper internodes or long branches of the phylogeny. Among transitions,
substitutions of A-->G and T-->C outnumbered their reciprocal
substitutions by 2-6 times, presumably because of the approximately 4:1
(77%) A+T-bias in nucleotide base composition. Of all transversions,
73%-80% were A<-->T substitutions, 85% of which occurred at third
positions of codons; these estimates did not decrease with an increase in
maximum sequence divergence of taxa included in the analysis. The high
frequency of A<-->T substitutions is either a reflection or an
explanation of the 92% A+T bias at third codon positions.

In field and laboratory studies, mortality of African black beetle, Heteronychus arator, in the winter-rainfall, Mediterranean-type climate region of south-western Australia was higher in the late immature stages during summer than in the early immature stages that occur during spring, a contrast to summer-rainfall climatic regions. Greatest mortality occurred around the pupal stage in contrasting soil types, despite drying differences in summer and supplementary watering in some plots. Sampling of natural populations confirmed experimental results that mortality in late immature stages is the major factor limiting H. arator populations under a Mediterranean-type climate. Inter-generation increase in H. arator abundance was uncommon, explaining the consistent abundance typically observed between years in south-western Australia. Random dispersal of newly emerged adults in autumn was inferred to restore uniformity in adult abundance between areas of varying favourability for immature survival. 相似文献

The objective of the present work was selection of cultivar and suitable medium for regenerating shoots from leaf segments
of non-heading Chinese cabbage. We evaluated six types of supplemented media with 2.0, 5.0 and 10.0 mg l−1 6-BA; 1.0 and 2.0 mg l−1 TDZ; 0.1, 0.3, 0.5, 0.8 and 1.0 mg l−1NAA; 3.0, 5.0 and 7.5 mg l−1AgNO3; 0.01 mg l−1 2–4, D and 4.0 mg l−1 KT for shoot regeneration and six cultivars “Sanchidaye”, “Liuchuandasuomian”, “Qingyou 4”, “Liangbaiye”, “AiKang 5” and
“Hanxiao F3”, furthermore for root formation three types of supplemented media with 0.2, 0.3, 0.5 mg l−1 NAA, and for survival rate two types of base media: turf + vermiculite + manure (1:2:0.2) and soil + vermiculite (1:2). Culturing
leaf segments on MS medium supplemented with 2 mg l−1 TDZ; 0.5 mg l−1 NAA and 7.5 mg l−1 AgNO3 gave the highest number of shoots per leaf segment (66) while roots were best formed on the medium supplemented with 0.2 mg l−1 NAA. Survival rate was highest (61.6%) in the turf: vermiculite: manure (1:2:0.2) medium. The highest percentage of responding
leaf segments, number of shoots per leaf segment, rooting percentage and survival rate were observed in “Liuchuandasuomian”.
The plantlets were transferred to the soil and grown into mature plants in pots. These results could be used for preliminary
selections of cultivars to transfer disease resistance (Bt) gene through agrobacterium in non-heading Chinese cabbage. 相似文献

BRCA1 C-terminal (BRCT) domains are integral signaling modules in the DNA damage response (DDR). Aside from their established roles as phospho-peptide binding modules, BRCT domains have been implicated in phosphorylation-independent protein interactions, DNA binding and poly(ADP-ribose) (PAR) binding. These numerous functions can be attributed to the diversity in BRCT domain structure and architecture, where domains can exist as isolated single domains or assemble into higher order homo- or hetero-domain complexes. In this review, we incorporate recent structural and biochemical studies to demonstrate how structural features allow single and tandem BRCT domains to attain a high degree of functional diversity.Key words: BRCT domain, DNA repair, phosphorylation, phospho-peptide interaction, protein interaction, DNA binding, DNA damage response 相似文献

The phyllosphere, which is defined as the parts of terrestrial plants above the ground, is a large habitat for different microorganisms that show a high extent of adaption to their environment. A number of hypotheses were generated by culture-independent functional genomics studies to explain the competitiveness of specialized bacteria in the phyllosphere. In contrast, in situ data at the metabolome level as a function of bacterial colonization are lacking. Here, we aimed to obtain new insights into the metabolic interplay between host and epiphytes upon colonization of Arabidopsis thaliana leaves in a controlled laboratory setting using environmental metabolomics approaches. Quantitative nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) and imaging high-resolution mass spectrometry (IMS) methods were used to identify Arabidopsis leaf surface compounds and their possible involvement in the epiphytic lifestyle by relative changes in compound pools. The dominant carbohydrates on the leaf surfaces were sucrose, fructose and glucose. These sugars were significantly and specifically altered after epiphytic leaf colonization by the organoheterotroph Sphingomonas melonis or the phytopathogen Pseudomonas syringae pv. tomato, but only to a minor extent by the methylotroph Methylobacterium extorquens. In addition to carbohydrates, IMS revealed surprising alterations in arginine metabolism and phytoalexin biosynthesis that were dependent on the presence of bacteria, which might reflect the consequences of bacterial activity and the recognition of not only pathogens but also commensals by the plant. These results highlight the power of environmental metabolomics to aid in elucidating the molecular basis underlying plant–epiphyte interactions in situ. 相似文献

The objective of this study was to examine whether S-RNase plays a specific role in the pre-germinated Pyrus pollen. Effects of exogenous RNase and endogenous S-RNase on concentration of cytosolic-free calcium ([Ca2+]i) variation of pre-germinated Pyrus pollen were studied. [Ca2+]i variation caused by different RNases were complex. In 1 h after being cultured, exogenous RNase, RNase T1 and RNase A, and endogenous incompatible ‘Hohsui’ RNase promoted the [Ca2+]i of ‘Hohsui’ pollen. Acid proteins of ‘Hohsui’ had no remarkable influence on the [Ca2+]i of self-pollen. Endogenous compatible ‘Kohsui’ RNase reduced the [Ca2+]i of ‘Hohsui’ pollen, but compatible ‘Hohsui’ RNase can stimulate the [Ca2+]i of ‘Kohsui’ pollen. RNase T1, RNase A and incompatible ‘Kohsui’ S-RNase can also make ‘Kohsui’ pollen [Ca2+]i increase. Different from ‘Hohsui’ pollen, acid proteins of ‘Hohsui’ pull down the ‘Kohsui’ pollen [Ca2+]i remarkably. Conclusion can be made that during the prophase of pollen germination, endogenous S-RNase has no specific effect
on pollen [Ca2+]i changes. 相似文献
