Population genetics and phylogenetics of DNA sequence variation at multiple loci within the Drosophila melanogaster species complex 总被引:14,自引:1,他引:13
Two regions of the genome, a 1-kbp portion of the zeste locus and a 1.1-
kbp portion of the yolk protein 2 locus, were sequenced in six individuals
from each of four species: Drosophila melanogaster, D. simulans, D.
mauritiana, and D. sechellia. The species and strains were the same as
those of a previous study of a 1.9-kbp region of the period locus. No
evidence was found for recent balancing or directional selection or for the
accumulation of selected differences between species. Yolk protein 2 has a
high level of amino acid replacement variation and a low level of
synonymous variation, while zeste has the opposite pattern. This contrast
is consistent with information on gene function and patterns of codon bias.
Polymorphism levels are consistent with a ranking of effective population
sizes, from low to high, in the following order: D. sechellia, D.
melanogaster, D.mauritiana, and D. simulans. The apparent species
relationships are very similar to those suggested by the period locus
study. In particular, D. simulans appears to be a large population that is
still segregating variation that arose before the separation of D.
mauritiana and D. sechellia. It is estimated that the separation of
ancestral D. melanogaster from the other species occurred 2.5-3.4 Mya. The
separations of D. sechellia and D. mauritiana from ancestral D. simulans
appear to have occurred 0.58- 0.86 Mya, with D. mauritiana having diverged
from ancestral D. simulans 0.1 Myr more recently than D. sechellia.

The use of controlled release fertilizer (CRF) has become a new trend to minimize environmental pollution. In this study, urea–kaolinite containing 20 wt% urea after one hour dry grinding was mixed with different concentrations of chitosan as a binder to prepare nitrogen-based CRF. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy confirmed the hydrogen bonding between urea and kaolinite. Covalent interaction between urea–kaolinite and chitosan make the granules stronger. The nitrogen release was measured in 5 days interval using a diacetylmonoxime calorimetric method at a wavelength of 527 nm. The results illustrated that by increasing the chitosan concentration from 3 to 7.5%, nitrogen release decreased from 41.23 to 25.25% after one day and from 77.31 to 59.27% after 30 days incubation in water. Compressive stress at break tests confirmed that granules with chitosan 6% had the highest resistance and were chosen for ammonia volatilization tests. Ammonia volatilization was carried out using the forced-draft technique for a period of 10 weeks. The results showed that the total amount of ammonia loss for conventional urea fertilizer and urea–kaolinite–chitosan granules was 68.63 and 56.75%, respectively. This controlled release product could be applied in agricultural crop production purpose due to its controlled solubility in the soil, high nutrient use efficiency and potential economic benefits. 相似文献

The distribution of microorganisms in 10 samples of salted dried fish and the effects of irradiation of them were studied. The total aerobic bacteria in commercial dried fish were determined to be from 2 × 104 to 3 × 106 per gram. Mold counts were 1 × 102 to 7 × 103 per gram with a lower amount of yeasts. In spoiled dried fish, total aerobic bacteria were determined to be 4× 106 or 1 × 107 per gram with a few yeasts. Coliforms were not isolated on MacConkey agar plates from any of the samples. The predominant bacteria occurring in spoiled dried fish were Pediococcus halophilus, Vibrio costicola and Planococcus sp. More than 50% of the molds consisted of the Aspergillus niger group, whereas lower amounts of the A. flavus, A. fumigatus and A. ochraceus groups, Penicillium chrysogenum series, etc. were also isolated from many samples of dried fish. All kinds of putrefactive microorganisms were radiation sensitive, and a dose of ca. 500 krad appears to be sufficient for extension of the shelf-life of dried fish from 2 to 4 times. 相似文献

We performed a hospital-based, unmatched case-control study to investigate the association between progressive stages of cervical neoplasia and digital analysis of cell proliferation by silver stained nucleolus organizer region associated proteins (AgNORs). We measured cell proliferation levels in the cervical epithelial cells of 10 women with low grade squamous intraepithelial lesions (LG-SIL), eight with high grade squamous intraepithelial lesions (HG-SIL), 11 with cervical cancer (CC) and eight with no cervical lesions (controls) using the AgNORs technique. Cell proliferation was measured by digital image analysis (DIA). DIA revealed increased total areas of AgNORs in HG-SIL and CC compared to LG-SIL and control patients. AgNORs with a kidney or cluster shape exhibited greater areas than those with a spherical or long shape. We propose a cut-off of 118 pixels to differentiate benign (control and LG-SIL) from malignant (HG-SIL and CC) lesions. DIA of AgNORs is a simple and inexpensive method for studying proliferation. The increased total area of AgNORs in malignant lesions provides information regarding cell behavior and may be related to cervical carcinogenesis; however, further validation studies are required to establish its usefulness in cytological analysis. 相似文献

Beta-D-galactofuranosidase is a good chemotherapeutic target for the design
of inhibitors, since beta-D-galactofuranose is a constituent of important
parasite glycoconjugates but is not present in the host mammals. With this
aim, we have synthesized for the first time alkyl, benzyl and aryl
1-thio-beta-D-galactofuranosides by condensation of
penta-O-benzoyl-alpha,beta-D-galactofuranose with the corresponding thiols,
in the presence of SnCl4as catalyst. The complete chemical and
spectroscopical characterization of these compounds showed that the
reaction was stereoselective. Debenzoylation with sodium methoxide afforded
the beta-S-galactofuranosides in high yield. The thioglycosides were tested
as inhibitors of the beta-D- galactofuranosidase of Penicillium fellutanum,
using for the first time 4-nitrophenyl-beta-D-galactofuranoside as
chromogenic substrate. The 4- aminophenyl-1-thio-beta-D-galactofuranoside,
obtained by catalytic hydrogenation of the nitrophenyl derivative, was the
best inhibitor being then an adequate ligand for the preparation of an
affinity phase aimed at the isolation of beta-d-galactofuranosidases from
different sources. Also the inhibitory activity of d-galactono-1, 4-lactone
was shown.

Background
Morphological and functional differences of the right and left ventricle are apparent in the adult human heart. A differential contribution of cardiac fibroblasts and smooth muscle cells (populations of epicardium-derived cells) to each ventricle may account for part of the morphological-functional disparity. Here we studied the relation between epicardial derivatives and the development of compact ventricular myocardium.Results
Wildtype and Wt1CreERT2/+ reporter mice were used to study WT-1 expressing cells, and Tcf21lacZ/+ reporter mice and PDGFRα-/-;Tcf21LacZ/+ mice to study the formation of the cardiac fibroblast population. After covering the heart, intramyocardial WT-1+ cells were first observed at the inner curvature, the right ventricular postero-lateral wall and left ventricular apical wall. Later, WT-1+ cells were present in the walls of both ventricles, but significantly more pronounced in the left ventricle. Tcf21-LacZ + cells followed the same distribution pattern as WT-1+ cells but at later stages, indicating a timing difference between these cell populations. Within the right ventricle, WT-1+ and Tcf21-lacZ+ cell distribution was more pronounced in the posterior inlet part. A gradual increase in myocardial wall thickness was observed early in the left ventricle and at later stages in the right ventricle. PDGFRα-/-;Tcf21LacZ/+ mice showed deficient epicardium, diminished number of Tcf21-LacZ + cells and reduced ventricular compaction.Conclusions
During normal heart development, spatio-temporal differences in contribution of WT-1 and Tcf21-LacZ + cells to right versus left ventricular myocardium occur parallel to myocardial thickening. These findings may relate to lateralized differences in ventricular (patho)morphology in humans. 相似文献10.
