Molecular mapping of a novel yellow rust resistance gene of wheat using microsatellite markers

Identification and genetic analysis of yellow rust resistance have suggested that wheat line R55 carries single dominant gene conferring yellow rust resistance. The bulked segregant analysis (BSA) for an F₂ population using microsatellite marker technique has indicated that the yellow rust resistance gene is located on the short arm of chromosome 1B, tightly linked to the microsatellite markers WMS11-193 bp and WMS18-184 bp, the linkage distance between the markers and the gene is 1.9 cM. This gene has been formally namedYr26. It is inferred from the pedigree, resistance and gene locus analysis that theYr26 has been transferred fromTriticum turgidum L. and is different from the other known yellow rust resistance genes.     

利用分子标记研究小麦遗传群体的赤霉病抗性鉴定方法

针对小麦赤霉病抗源苏麦3号构建的两个小麦重组自交系遗传群体苏麦3号／Alondra和苏麦3号／安农8455，采用单花接种、表土接种及自然发病3种不同的接种方法进行小麦赤霉病抗性接种鉴定，并根据苏麦3号赤霉病抗性主效QTL的连锁分子标记Xgwm 493和Xgwm 533．1分别对群体进行抗性连锁分析．检测结果表明，在温室单花接种所获得的鉴定数据中，标记的赤霉病抗性连锁效应最高，P值分别小于0．0001，抗性鉴定结果最为准确．研究表明，对小麦赤霉病这种由数量性状控制，受外界环境影响较大的真菌病害进行抗扩展性的遗传研究，应采用控温控湿条件下的单花滴注接种鉴定方法最为合适．     

小麦抗叶锈病相关蛋白的初步分析

以小麦抗叶锈病近等基因系TcLr10和感病亲本Thatcher为植物材料.在未接种小麦叶锈菌之前提取二者叶片的蛋白质,并在接种小麦叶锈菌之后24h,48h,72h分别提取TcLr10与Thatcher叶片的蛋白质组,将提取的全部样品进行双向电泳.对所得蛋白质双向电泳图谱进行分析,结果表明,在未接种叶锈菌时TcLr10与Thatcher存在三个点的差异,其中有两个蛋白质点在TcLr10表达量明显高于感病亲本Thatcher,另一个点在TcLr10中有表达而在Thatcher中未发现;接种叶锈菌后TcLr10与Thatcher中均诱导产生一蛋白质点,但该点在Lr10中诱导产生的速度和量均明显高于感病亲本Thatcher.     

Chromosomal location of yellow rust resistance gene(s) inTriticum aestivum-Lophopyrum elongatum substitution lines

A set ofT. aestivum-L. elongatum substitution lines were studied on yellow rust resistance at seedling stage, inheritance of the resistance and esterase-5 (Est-5) analysis. The results demonstrated thatL. elongatum carried a new yellow rust resistance gene(s), which was dominant and located on chromosome 3E ofL. elongatum. The biochemical locus encoding Est-5 was also located on chromosome 3E, and was tentatively named Est-E5, which was co-segregant with theYr gene(s) in wheat background. In addition, the transmission frequencies of chromosome 3E in 3A/3E and 3D/3E hybrids selfing were significantly higher than that of chromosome 3E in 3B/3E hybrid, which was probably due to the difference on genetic relationships among A, B, D and E genomes.     

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.

Molecular characterization of RAPD and SCAR marker linked to the frog-eye leaf spot resistance gene in soybean

Two fragments SCS3₆₂₀ and SCS3₅₈₀ of the co-dominant marker OPS03_{620 & 580} that were linked to the resistance gene of soybean frog-eye leaf spot have been completely sequenced. A significant insertion of 30 bp is the main reason of the polymorphism between the two fragments. The results of Southern hybridization indicate that SCS3₆₂₀ derives from a single-or low-copy sequence and can be used as an RFLP probe. A co-dominant SCAR marker SCS3_{620 & 580} has been developed based on the sequences. The segregation of SCS3_{620 & 580} is similar to that of RAPD marker OPS03_{620 & 580}-Significant polymorphism has been shown between resistant and susceptible genotypes when 62 soybean genotypes were surveyed for the SCAR marker. Therefore, the marker can be used in the resistance breeding of soybean frog-eye leaf spot by marker-assisted selection.     

Isolation and characterization of rl（t）, a gene that controls leaf rolling in rice

Moderate leaf rolling is one of the most important morphological traits in rice breeding for plant ideotype. Previous studies have shown that the rl（t） gene has a high breeding potential for developing hybrid-rice varieties with an ideal ideotype, because it leads to an appropriate leaf rolling index （LRI） of about 30 % in the heterozygous state, and had a positive effect on grain yield. In this study, we isolated rl（t） and performed a preliminary investigation of its function in regulating leaf rolling in rice. DNA sequencing identified a single base change （G to T） in the finely mapped region （11 kb） containing rl（t）, and this is located in 3′-untranslated region （3′-UTR） of the only predicted gene, Roc5 （Rice outermost cell-specific）. The expression level of Roc5 is significantly higher in the rl（t） mutant than in the wild-type. Using RNAi and overexpression analysis, we found that the expression level of Roc5 correlated with LRI and leaf bulliform area, and wasalso associated with leaf abaxial or adaxial rolling. These results confirmed that Roc5 controls leaf rolling in a dosagedependent manner. Bioinformatics analysis revealed a conserved 17-nt sequence （called the GU-rich element） in the 3′-UTR of HD-GL2 （Homeodomain-Glabra2） family genes including Roc5. Based on the model of this element in regulating mRNA stability in mammals, we speculate that the single nucleotide change in this element accounts for the higher expression level of Roc5 in the rl（t） mutant compared to the wild-type, which ultimately leads to adaxial rolling of the leaf. This discovery further enhances our knowledge of the molecular mechanisms underlying leaf rolling in rice.     

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.     

Molecular cloning, chromosomal mapping and expression analysis of disease resistance gene homologues in rice (Oryza sativa L.)

Resistance-like sequences have been amplified from first strand cDNA and genomic DNA of rice by PCR using oligonucleotide primers designed from sequence motifs conserved between resistance genes of tobacco andArabidopsis thaliana. 3 PCR clones, designatedOsr1, Osr2 andOsr3 which were 98% identical in nucleotide sequence level, have been found to be significantly homologous to known plant resistance genes and all contained the conserved motifs of NBS-LRR type resistance genes, such as P-loop, kinase2a, kinase3a and transmembrane domain.Southern hybridization revealed that rice resistance gene hornologueswere organized as a cluster in the genome. RFLP mapping using a DH population derived from anindica/japonka cross (Zhaiyeqing 8/Jingxi 17) and an RFLP linkage map assigned two copies ofOsrl and one copy ofOsr3 to the distal position of chromosome 12 where a blast resistance QTL has been mapped previously. Northern blot analysis showed thatOsrl gene was constitutively transcribed in rice leaves, shoots and roots. Further study concerning isolation of full-length cDNAs would be conducive to elucidating the functions of these genes.     

钼酸钠对铁质文物的缓蚀作用研究

文中将钼酸钠用作铁质文物表面保护的缓蚀剂,采用原子吸收光谱和电化学动电位极化法研究了钼酸钠对铁器文物表面的保护效果,用X射线光电子能谱 (XPS)技术探讨了钼酸钠对铁器锈层表面的作用机理。结果表明,钼酸钠对铁器锈层表面有很好的保护效果,其原因是钼酸钠促进了铁器表面的活泼锈(γ-FeOOH)向稳定锈(Fe₂O₃)的转变,同时有稳定的氧化物三氧化钼 (MoO₃)及难溶的钼酸盐(FeMoO₄)生成,这样锈层表面形成了由稳定的Fe₂O₂,MoO₃,FeMoO₄组成的致密的保护膜,这层膜可以起到阻止外界有害物质向金属表面的侵蚀,从而抑制了基体腐蚀的进一步扩展。     

Framework for dissection of complex cytonuclear epistasis by a two-dimensional genome scan

Epistasis between cytoplasmic and nuclear genes is the primary genetic component of complex quantitative traits.Genetic dissection of cytonuclear epistasis is fundamentally important to understand the genetic architecture of complex traits.In this study,a two-dimensional genome scan strategy was employed to evaluate the contribution of cytoplasm,quantitative trait loci (QTL),QTL×QTL interactions and QTL×QTL×cytoplasm interactions to the phenotypic variation.The p-value and parameter value for each genetic effect were calculated by multiple regression analysis.A stepwise approach was suggested to build confidence in candidate QTL on the basis of q-value estimation,false discovery rate calculation and Bonferroni adjustment.A fine-scale grid scan strategy was proposed for further analysis of peaks of interest.Plant height in maize was used as an example to illustrate the efficiency of the two-dimensional genome scan strategy.     

Mapping of two new brown planthopper resistance genes from wild rice

A brown planthopper (BPH) resistance line, B5, derived its resistance genes from the wild riceOryza officinalis Wall exwatt, was hybridized with Taichung Native 1, a cultivar highly susceptible to BPH. A mapping population composed of randomly selected 167 F₂ individuals was used for determining the BPH resistance genes by the restriction fragment length polymorphism analysis (RFLP). Bulked segregant analysis was conducted to identify RFLP makers linked to the BPH resistance genes in B5. The results indicated that the markers linked to BPH resistance are located at two genomic regions on the long arm of chromosome 3 and the short arm of chromosome 4, respectively. The existence of the two loci was further assessed by the quantitative trait locus (QTL) analysis. We located the two loci at a 3.2 cM interval between G1318 and R1925 on chromosome 3 and a 1.2 cM interval between C820 and S11182 on chromosome 4. Comparison with the BPH genes that have been reported indicated that the BPH resistance genes in B5 are novel. These two genes may be useful BPH resistance resource for rice breeding. Furthermore, the mapping of the two genes is useful for cloning the BPH resistance genes.

Significant corrosion resistance improvement was achieved in solid-solution treated(T4) Al-Cu alloy after severe grain refinement through equal-channel angular pressing.The bulk ultrafine-grained Al-Cu alloy with grain sizes of 200-300 nm has higher pitting potential(elevated by about 34 mV,SCE) and lower corrosion current density(decreased by about 3.88μA/cm~2) in polarization tests than the as-T4 alloy,and increased polarization resistance(increased by about 5.7 kΩ·cm~2) in electrochemical impendence s...     

Identification and gene mapping of a narrow and upper-albino leaf mutant in rice (Oryza sativa L.)

The leaf blade consists of color and shape traits. Studies of leaf-blade development are important for improvement of rice yield and quality because it is an essential organ for photosynthesis. A narrow and upper-albino leaf mutant (nul1) was identified from among progeny of the indica restorer line Jinhui10 raised from seeds treated with ethyl methane sulfonate. Under field conditions, the mutant displayed narrow and upper-albino leaf blades with significantly decreased photosynthetic pigment contents throughout their development. The narrow-leaf trait is caused by a decreased number of small veins. In contrast to the wild type, the growth period was extended by approximately 8 d and agronomic traits, such as effective panicle number, percentage seed set and 1000-grain weight, declined significantly in the nul1 mutant. Genetic analysis suggested that the narrow and upper-albino leaf characteristics showed coseparation and were controlled by one recessive gene. The Nul1 gene was mapped onto chromosome 7 between the Indel marker Ind07-1 and the Simple Sequence Repeat marker RM21637. The physical distance between the markers was 75 kb and eight genes were annotated in this region based on the rice Nipponbare genome sequence. These results provide a foundation for cloning and function analysis of Nul1.     

Method of transforming resistance gene to carbendazim intoTrichoderma sp.

The method of transforming resistance gene to carbendazim into Trichoderma sp. was studied by using genetic engineering technique. The results show that the time of fungicide selection on the transformed Trichoderma sp. may have very important effect on the resistance gene transformation. By this method, the resistance gene to carbendazim was transformed into Trichoderma harzianum, a strain of T. harzianum with resistance to carbendazim was achieved. The transformant could grow on the medium containing 150 μg/mL carbendazim. The resistance is stable after 10 times transfer on non-selective medium.     

Influence of mill scale and rust layer on the corrosion resistance of low-alloy steel in simulated concrete pore solution

Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy, cyclic potentiodynamic polarization measurements, and scanning electron microscopy in conjunction with energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy were used to investigate the influence of mill scale and rust layer on the passivation capability and chloride-induced corrosion behaviors of conventional low-carbon (LC) steel and low-alloy (LA) steel in simulated concrete pore solution. The results show that mill scale exerts different influences on the corrosion resistance of both steels at various electrochemical stages. We propose that the high long-term corrosion resistance of LA steel is mainly achieved through the synergistic effect of a gradually formed compact, adherent and well-distributed Cr-enriched inner rust layer and the physical barrier protection effect of mill scale.     

Dissecting anxiety-related QTLs in mice by univariate and multivariate mapping

To detect genes underlying anxiety-related traits in mice,we performed univariate and multivariate QTL mapping analyses of phenotypes obtained from 71 mice of the BXD recombinant inbred (RI) strains (n=528 mice) and their parental strains (C57BL/6J and DBA/2J).Separate and joint mapping analyses were carried out using a linkage map composed of 506 simple sequence repeats (SSRs).The main QTL effects,interactions between pairs of QTLs (epistasis),and their environmental interactions were estimated.The results showed that anxiety-related traits were influenced by multiple QTLs (five main effect QTLs and three epistatic QTLs).Ten potential anxiety-related candidate genes within the QTL intervals on chromosomes 5,13 and 15 were identified.Some of these genes have been reported previously to be associated with the anxiety response.Based on our results,it is suggested that the multivariate QTL mapping approach improves the statistical power for detecting QTL and the precision of parameter estimation.Moreover,multivariate mapping can also detect pleiotropic QTL effects.
