Isolation and ectopic expression of a bamboo MADS-box gene

A cDNA named DIMADS18 was isolated from the young spikelets of the sweet bamboo, Dendrocalamus latiflorus by RACE. DNA sequence analysis showed that DIMADS18 was composed of full ORF and 3UTR, but without 5UTR. The cDNA contained 1039 nucleotides and encoded a putative protein of 249 amino acid residues. The gene displayed the structure of a typical plant MADS box gene, which consisted of an MADS domain, K domain, a short I region, and the C-terminal region. Phylogenetic analysis of plant MADS box genes based on amino acid sequences revealed that DlMADS18 was grouped into the AGAMOUS-LIKE 6 (AGL6)-like subfamily. It was most likely homologous to the OsMADS6 of rice (Oryza sativa), with 88% sequence identity for the entire amino acid sequences. The DlMADS18 also showed relatively high amino acid sequence identity (59%) to AGL6 ofArabidopsis thaliana. To study the functions of DlMADS18, DlMADS18 cDNA clone driven by the CaMV 35S promoter was transformed into Arabidopsis plants. Transgenic plants of DlMADS18 exhibited the phenotypes of curled leaves, dwarfism, and early flowering with clustered terminal flowers. These results indicated that DlMADS18 may probably be involved in controlling the flowering time of D.latiflorus.     

水稻中一个与花发育相关的MADS-box基因的表达检测

根据MADS－box基因的保守区结构，设计简并性引物，利用RT－PCR从水稻（Oryza sativa L.)中克隆到一个新的水稻MADS－box基因cDNA睛段，将它命名为FDRMADS5．该基因核苷酸序列851bp,编码160个氨基酸，有典型的植物MADS－box基因的结构，FDRMADS5的Southern分析，表明它为单拷贝基因，用Northern检测了FDRMADS5的表达情况，发现该基因除了在花中有表达外，在水稻的根尖和幼苗端中也有微量的表达，这一结果表明，水稻的MADS－box基因功能可能并不局限于控制花的发育。     

野败型水稻的核质互作与基因差异表达

运用差异展示方法对野败型细胞质雄性不育系珍汕９７Ａ及其相应的保持系珍汕９７Ｂ基因产物进行比较分析,发现这两个核基因组完全相同的品质间约有１０％的基因表达有差异;选取一个差异表达明显的ｃＤＮＡ成员Ｂ１３２进行Ｎｏｒｔｈｅｒｎ杂交发现,该基因在保持系中正常表达同源,在不育系中表达受到明显抑制,而在杂种一代中又正常代表达,在恢复系中表达水平也很低,这是一种典型的核质互作现象。     

Genetic analysis and fine mapping of an enclosed panicle mutant esp2 in rice （Oryza sativa L.）

The phenomenon of panicle enclosure in rice is mainly caused by the shortening of uppermost internode.Elucidating the molecular mechanism of panicle enclosure will be helpful for solving the problem of panicle enclosure in male sterile lines and creating new germplasms in rice.We acquired a monogenic recessive enclosed panicle mutant,named as esp2 (enclosed shorter panicle 2),from the tissue culture progeny of indica rice cultivar Minghui-86.In the mutant,panicles were entirely enclosed by flag leaf sheaths and the uppermost internode was almost completely degenerated,but the other internodes did not have obvious changes in length.Genetic analysis indicated that the mutant phenotype was controlled by a recessive gene,which could be steadily inherited and was not affected by genetic background.Apparently,ESP2 is a key gene for the development of uppermost internode in rice.Using an F 2 population of a cross between esp2 and a japonica rice cultivar Xiushui-13 as well as SSR and InDel markers,we fine mapped ESP2 to a 14-kb region on the end of the short arm of chromosome 1.According to the rice genome sequence annotation,only one intact gene exists in this region,namely,a putative phosphatidylserine synthase gene.Sequencing analysis on the mutant and the wild type indicated that this gene was inserted by a 5287-bp retrotransposon sequence.Hence,we took this gene as a candidate of ESP2.The results of this study will facilitate the cloning and functional analysis of ESP2 gene.     

一个与人类待定肿瘤抑制基因同源的水稻基因的分离

从水稻基因文库中筛选到一个与人类待定肿瘤抑制基因QM同源的基因,命名为OSQM2．该基因片断长为3．1kb,编码一个具有184个氨基酸的高度碱性的蛋白质,与其他已知QM基因相比,该基因具有一个非常特殊的启动子,包含许多在植物中已发现的与抗逆有关的顺式作用因子,如：“G盒”,“DRE盒”,“MYC盒”等,故而该基因有可能是一个新的受环境胁迫因子诱导的基因,Southern杂交表明它以单拷贝形式存在于基因组中。     

Molecular dissection of genetic basis of significant correlation among five morphological traits in rice (Oryza sativa L.)

To enhance understanding of the genetic basis of trait correlation in rice, a recombinant inbred line (RIL) population (F₆ and F₇) from a cross between Zhenshan97 and HR5 was employed to identify main quantitative trait loci (QTLs) and epistatic QTL (E-QTL). Highly significant positive correlations were detected among five traits of heading date (HD), plant height (PH), panicle length (PL), flag leaf length (FLL) and flag leaf width (FLW) in 2 environments. Four to 8 main QTLs were detected for an individual trait. No E-QTL was detected for PH. One, 4, 4 and 5 E-QTLs were detected for FLL, HD, FLW and PL, respectively. Each E-QTL individually explained less than 3% of trait variation except E-QFll1. Comparison of QTL results was made in order to dissect the genetic basis of trait correlation. We found that main QTLs with pleiotropic effects and QTL clusters were the main genetic basis of trait correlation. No E-QTL had pleiotropic effects. E-QTL played an important role in the genetic basis of individual trait, but it made a little contribution to trait correlation.     

Study on Young Panicle Culture in vitro From Wild Rice of Different Genomes

Researches have been made on young panicle culture in vitro from wild rice of different genomes.Main results are as follows: 1. The induction frequencies of young panicle cultured in vitro from wild rice varied largely a relation to its genome. The optimal induction period of callus is the stamen and pistil differentiation stage of young panicle development. 2. Plantlets were regenerated through two ways: first, culture method, the induced calli were transferred onto differentiation medium; second, regenerate plantlets directly from young panicles of wild rice that were cultured on the differentiation medium. 3. The regeneration rate of green plantlets that obtained through cryopreservated calli in O. meyeriana was 10 times higher than that of control.

Design principles and parameters of rice ideal panicle type

On the basis of many years of research at the laboratory, and by making reference to the related literature published at home and abroad, in this paper the concept of rice ideal panicle type was introduced, and the principles of rice ideal panicle type design were elucidated. The parameters of rice ideal panicle type for Liaoning were preliminarily established as follows： Panicle length 〈17 cm, neck-panicle curvature 〈40°, neck panide length 3-4 cm, neck diameter 〉2 mm, large vascular bundle and primary branch 〉15 pieces/panicle, primary branch grain 〉80 grains/panide, secondary branch grains concentrating in the middle and upper parts of panicle axis, and panicle type index 〉0.5. In addition, the possibility of achieving unity of grain yield and quality at a still higher level by creating an ideal panicle type was explored.
