小麦中与低脱氧雪腐镰刀菌烯醇含量关联的抗性基因类似物

脱氧雪腐镰刀菌烯醇(Deoxynivalenol,DON)是小麦遭受赤霉病危害后由赤霉病菌———禾谷镰刀菌产生的一种真菌毒素,这种毒素对人类和家畜的健康产生危害,严重地影响小麦的利用价值.种植低DON含量的品种是减少这种毒素危害的有效措施,而分子标记辅助育种技术能加速低DON品种的选育进程.在采用AFLP、SSR分子标记的基础上,进一步利用抗性基因类似物(RGA)对‘宁7840’(低DON含量的品种)和‘Clark’(高DON含量的品种)建立的133个重组自交系进行了DON含量的遗传特性分析.研究结果发现两个DON含量的数量特性位点(QTL),它们中含有4个与低DON含量密切相关RGAs,其中三个RGAs(RGA14-1,RGA16-1,RGA18-1)座落在染色体1A的长臂上,另一个(RGA14-2)座落在染色体5B的长臂上.座落在1AL和5BL上的QTL分别解释16.81%和7.84%的DON含量变异.DNA序列分析表明这些RGAs均与现已发现的抗性基因同源/类似,它们可能在小麦的低DON含量和赤霉病抗性上扮演着重要的角色.     

含速度变异算子的粒子群算法

提出了一种新型的PSO算法——含速度变异算子的粒子群算法（PSOVMO）．该算法在进行变异时的变异对象是搜索速度（ν）,而不是通常情况下的位置（Х）．其方法是,设置一个随迭代的进行按指数级数减小的临界速度．在变异开始到整个搜索循环结束之间的每一次迭代中,只要第i个粒子在d维上的搜索速度的绝对值│νi,d│大于此时的临界速度,就以一定的概率重新初始化νi,d：让νi、d 随机分布在区间[-Vmax,Vmax]上,从而通过位置迭代公式将原本聚集的粒子均匀地“驱赶”到前一位置的周围,达到变异的目的．通过对4个多峰测试函数所做的对比实验,表明PSOVMO优于原始的PSO,也优于按传统方法变异的PSO．     

Mutations analysis of STK_(11) gene in Chinese families with Peutz-Jeghers syndrome

Peutz-Jeghers syndrome (PJS) is an autosomal dominant disease that is characterized by multiple gastrointestinal hamartomatous polyps and melanin spots on lips and buccal mucosa at young age[1,2]. Previous studies have demonstrated that PJS predisposes carriers to cancers of gastrointestinal tract, uterus, ovary, testis, breast and other extragastrointestinal organs[3—5]. The STK11 gene, encoding a serine/threonine kinase at chro-mosome 19p13.3, was identified in 1998 as the main causativ…

Silica nanoparticle is a possible safe carrier for gene therapy

In order to develop a safe and effective gene therapy carrier, some toxicological and biodynamical experiments were carried out on silica nanoparticles （SiNPs）. First we prepared SiNPs with appropriate portions of cyclohexane, deionized water and ethyl silicate, and then transfected the modified SiNPs and GFP plasmid DNA complex into the HT1080 cells to test the effectiveness of transfection for gene therapy. At the same time, we injected the SiNPs into a number of mice through tail vein. Then we made the mice crossed to evaluate the acute, long-term and reproductive toxicity. In vivo distribution analysis and pathological examination were made on both adult mice and their offspring. SiNPs were uniform and had an average diameter of 40 nm, and the modified SiNPs carried exogenous DNA molecules into target cells and the transferred GFP fusion gene was effectively expressed in the cells. The SiNPs injected via tail vein were widely distributed in almost all of tissues, and the injected mice had the ability to reproduce normally. The in vivo and in vitro results of this study clearly show that SiNPs can be used as a safe and effective carrier for gene transfection and gene therapy.     

Expression of green fluorescent protein gene with baculovirus vector in insect cells

The green fluorescence of bioluminescent jellyfishAequorea victoria is due to the presence of the green fluorescent protein (GFP). To examine whether the GFP gene can be applied as a reporter gene in insect cells, a baculovirus transfer vector containing the neomycin resistance gene (neo) was established. The GFP gene was subcloned into the vector downstream of the polyhedrin gene (ocu) promoter. In the presence of G418, the recombinant virus can be purified. Expression of the GFP gene in the recombinant virus should give rise to synthesis of the GFP with a molecular weight of 30×10³ dalton, and is observable by the strong green light irradiated by ultraviolet or blue light in viable intact insect cells. The GFP produced in insect cells has typical fluorescent spectra indistinguishable from those of the purified native GFP. The GFP gene as a good reporter gene can be applied to the baculovirus-insect cell expression system.

Overexpression of rice OsLOL2 gene confers disease resistance in tobacco to Pseudomonas syringae pv. Tabaci

LSD1-related proteins of Arabidopsis with LSD1-like zinc finger domains regulate disease resistance and programmed cell death(PCD). We cloned a rice OsLOL2 gene, orthologous to LSDI of Arabidopsis and expressed it in a tobacco plant. Transgenic tobacco lines displayed enhanced disease resistance to a virulent bacterium Pseudomonas syringae pv. tabaci (Pst). RT-PCR analysis showed that overexpression of OsLOL2 in transgenic tobacco lines resulted in upregulation of two pathogenesis-related (PR) protein genes, PR2 and PR5. Our results suggest that overexpression of OsLOL2 in transgenic tobacco enhances the resistance through the induction of PR pro-teins and hypersensitive response-like reaction.     

Construction of a genetic map with SRAP markers and localization of the gene responsible for the first-flower-node trait in cucumber (Cucumis sativus L.)

Cucumber (Cucumis sativus L.) is an annualclimber originated from the tropic rain forest area inthe south of Himalayas, which belongs to the Cucur bitaceae family. Cucumber is one of the importantvegetables in the world, and its planting area is sec ond only to that of tomato[1]. However genetics re search on cucumber obviously drops behind that of thelatter. The classic genetic map of cucumber, with sixlinkage groups, is composed of more than 100 genesfor color, morphology, and dise…     

Identification of a protein associated with circulative transmission of Barley yellow dwarf virus from cereal aphids, Schizaphis graminum and Sitobion avenae

Using 2-D electrophoresis and virus overlay assay,a 50-kDa protein(P50)exhibiting specific binding to purified virus particles of BYDV-GAV was found in the protein extracts from Schizaphis graminum and Sitobion avenae,two aphid species transmiting BYDV-GAV.P50 in the extracts of S.graminum was isolated by preparation electrophoresis and electro-eluted proteins from the gel slices for antiserum preparation.After feeding the antiserum through membrane,the transmission efficiencies of S.graminum and S.avenae for BYDV-GAV decreased significantly.It was suggested that P50 should be related with transmission process.Location of P50 was found at the plasma membrane surrounding the accessory salivary gland(ASG) in the head tissues of S.graminum by immunogold-labelling experiment.The ascertainment of the protein associated with virus transmission has a significance influence on further understanding the transmission mechanism and genetic engineering for resistant to vector transmission.
