Plant regeneration from protoplasts of the monocotyledonous Haworthia magnifica v. Poelln.

Calli were initiated from flower buds, gynoecia and inflorescence segments of Haworthia magnifica v. Poelln. and subcultured on solid medium. Two liquid culture steps were necessary to prepare the calli for the isolation of protoplasts capable of sustained cell divisions. Plants were regenerated from protoplast-derived calli. The influence of both the osmolality of the culture media and exudates on the viability of protoplasts and protoplast-derived cell colonies is briefly discussed.     

利用激光微束穿刺法将外源基因导入小麦的研究

用激光微束穿刺法将携带有新霉素磷酸转移酶（ＮＰＴ－Ⅱ）基因的质粒ｐＪＩＴ１０１导入京花１号小麦幼胚细胞。方法是将小麦幼胚细胞进行高渗缓冲液预处理,用微米级的激光微束处理,然后在卡那霉素培养基上筛选出具抗性的愈伤组织及绿色小植株。第一年,从１５０个小麦幼胚中,在卡那霉素培养基上筛选出４株绿苗,取两株进行ＮＰＴ－Ⅱ酶活性分析,测到了ＮＰＴ－Ⅱ酶的活性。第二年重复实验,从２４５个小麦幼胚中,经筛选获得１株绿苗,进行了叶片ＤＮＡＰＣＲ扩增检测,转化的绿色小苗扩增出所导入的ＮＰＴ－Ⅱ基因编码的片段。结果表明,外源ＮＰＴ－Ⅱ基因已导入了小麦,并实现了整合表达。     

The site-directed mutagenesis of gastrodia anti-fungal protein mannose-binding sites and its expression in Escherichia coli

Gastrodia anti-fungal protein (GAFP) displays strong inhibitory activity against certain fungal pathogens. Five GAFP analogues with different mutations at mannose-binding sites and the wild-type one were expressed and purified in Escherichia coli. The inhibitory analysis of the purified various GAFPs against the growth of Trichoderma viride indicates that single amino acid mutated-type GAFPs have inhibitory activity, but its activity is much less than the wild-type one. The double and triplicate amino acids mutated GAFPs have very low inhibitory activity. For the first time it was proved that GAFP mannose-binding sites play key role in anti-fungi process.     

猪链球菌2型ABC转运蛋白gene0910敲除突变体的构建及活性分析

目的:构建猪链球菌2型(Streptococcus suis type 2)强毒株05ZYH3389K毒力岛上的ABC转运蛋白gene0910敲除突变体,并初步分析其活性,为进一步研究猪链球菌假想毒力因子在致病中的作用提供实验基础。方法:以猪链球菌2型05ZYH33基因组为模板,扩增gene0910两侧各约500bp左右的片段为上下游同源臂,以pSET1质粒为模板,扩增氯霉素抗性基因Cm为中间片段,采用重叠PCR方法搭建三个片段,并克隆到自杀载体pSET4S上,构建基因敲除的载体。电转化05ZYH33感受态细胞,经30℃双交换和40℃质粒丢失,最后点板法筛选出基因敲除突变体△0910。对突变株和野生株的生物学活性及小鼠的致病性进行了初步比较。结果:PCR分析和测序结果均显示gene0910完全被氯霉素抗性基因Cm所替代,基因敲除突变体构建成功。结论:突变株的生物学活性和对小鼠的致病性与野生株相比差异不显著。     

应用基于粒子群优化的支持向量机算法识别真核生物基因的RNA聚合酶II启动子序列

启动子是调节基因表达的重要元件,对其的研究对于阐明基因转录调控机制具有重要意义。作者依据RNA聚合酶Ⅱ启动子序列特性选取高效的特征提取方法,构建了基于粒子群优化的支持向量机(particle swarm optimization-support vector machine,PSO-SVM)新方法,用以识别真核生物基因RNA聚合酶Ⅱ启动子。结合5-折交叉检验方法,得到启动子-外显子、启动子-内含子和启动子-基因间序列的分类准确率分别为97.1%、96.7%和98.8%,其马修斯相关系数分别为0.962、0.934和0.976。结果说明,对比其它启动子识别方法,PSO-SVM方法更能有效地识别真核生物基因启动子。     

植物病原相关蛋白研究进展

植物在受到真菌、细菌、病毒侵染或意外的伤害时体内会产生新的蛋白质,称作病原相关蛋白(pathogenesisrelatedprotein简称PR蛋白)。PR蛋白的产生与植物对病原物的抵御直接相关,本文就PR蛋白的诱导表达、调控和作用机理方面的最新研究进展作一综述。     

Stable expression of hepatitis B surface antigen gene in Dunaliella salina (Chlorophyta)

A stable transformation system for theexpression of foreign genes in theunicellular marine green alga Dunaliella salina was established. Amongfive antibiotics, 60 g mL^-1chloramphenicol completely inhibitedgrowth. Of five promoters tested, theubiquitin-$Ohgr; promoter yielded thehighest -glucuronidase (GUS) activity.The hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg)gene was introduced into the cells by usingelectroporation. PCR and Southern blotanalysis amd it was shown that the gene wasintegrated into the genome. The stableexpression of HBsAg protein was confirmedby enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay(ELISA) and Western blot analysis. Theintroduced DNA and HBsAg expression weremaintained stable for at least 60generations in medium devoid ofchloramphenicol. This is an important steptoward the production of useful foreignproteins in the alga.     

RAPD鉴定栽培稻与野生稻体细胞杂种

利用随机引物扩增DNA(RAPD)技术,对栽培稻和野生稻原生质体融合获得的体 细胞杂种进行了鉴定。证实了它们包含有双亲的基因组成分。但来自双亲的基因组成分并不是对等的。一些体细胞杂种含有一个亲本更多的基因组成分,而另一些相反。利用RAPD数据和聚类图讨论了体细胞杂种和双亲的亲缘关系。

Plant regeneration from cotyledon protoplasts of Xinjiang muskmelon

Cotyledon protoplasts were isolated from seedlings of Xinjiang muskelon (Cucumis melo var.saccharinus) grown under sterile conditions and cultured in modified Miller medium. High frequency division of the protoplast-derived cells was observed. Agarose bead culture with B₆S₃ tobacco crown gall nurse cells was found most suitable for the cotyledon protoplasts when compared with other culture methods. Intact plants were regenerated from the protocalli by a two-step culture procedure with liquid and then solid media.Abbreviations BAP 6-benzylaminopurine - B₆S₃ crown gall tumor cells of tobacco - 2,4-D 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid - IAA indole-3-acetic acid - MES 2(Nmorpholino) ethanesulfonic acid - MS Murashige and Skoog medium(1962) - NAA -naphthaleneacetic acid - N6 Zhu et al. medium (1975)
