水稻广亲和品种与籼粳亚种的亲缘关系

以典型的水稻籼粳亚种代表品种为参照群体,根据ＲＦＬＰ和ＳＳＲ标记座位上等位基因在亚种间的频率分布,确定了３个广亲和品种的基因组与两亚种的亲缘关系．如果亚种间无分化的等位基因在控制亚种间杂种育性上为显性,则这些品种的广亲和性可以用这类等位基因的高含量来解释．新等位基因的衍生及它们在亚种间的分化是导致亚种间部分生殖隔离的直接原因．由Ｉｋｅｈａｓｈｉ和Ａｒａｋｉ提出的“等位基因互作”模型与我们对广亲和性遗传基础的解释是高度一致的．     

籼粳交稻米品质性状的遗传相关分析

用种子性状遗传模型对籼粳交稻米８个主要品质性状的遗传相关进行了研究。结果表明,在籼粳杂种中,稻米品质性状之间的遗传相关主要涉及到种子直接遗传效应和母体遗传效应。其中,５个理化品质性状之间以直接效应相关为主,其次为母体效应相关;５个理化品质性状与３个外观品质性状之间只有直接加性、母体加性和母体显性相关;３个外观品质性状之间的遗传相关主要归因于母体效应。尤其是母体加性效应。在所有的性状对中,仅胶稠度和     

水稻精细胞基因RSSG58启动子的克隆分析及表达载体构建

根据分布的水稻基因组测序的比较和水稻精细胞优势表达的RSSG58基因cDNA序列，以水稻品种“桂朝2号”黄化苗组DNA为模板，用PCR方法克隆出RSSG58在起始密码子以前的上游调控序列Pr58，经过Pr58启动子进行的鉴定和分析表明，具备大多数高等植物启动子的保守元件，预计它的RSSG58基因在特异表达方面具有一定的作用。为了鉴定RSSG58基因的基本启动子元件，将RSSG58基因5′侧翼序列做缺失片段分析，由PCR从Pr58中得以3个不同大小两端带有HindⅢ，BamHⅠ酶切位点的片段Pr58Ⅰ，Pr58Ⅱ和Pr58Ⅲ，定向插入载体pMGFP4(pBI221改建，报告基因为GFP）中，取代原有的CaMV35S启动子，构建了由驱动报造基因GFP的植物表达载体pRGFPⅠ，pRGFPⅡ和pRGFPⅢ，用于农杆菌介导法水稻遗传转化。其目的是为进一步在模式植物中研究其表达功能奠定基础。

水稻RSSG8基因启动子与GUS融合基因的构建及在烟草中的瞬间表达

使用染色体步移(Genome walking)法，从籼稻(Oryza sativa subsp．indica)桂朝2号基因组中克隆到长度为471bp的水稻精细胞优势表达基因RSSG8的启动子片段R8PN，并进行了全序列测定和分析．该段序列中含有3个CAAT-box，6个Gobox和多种植物顺式作用元件，但没有发现典型的TATA-box，推测为一种特殊的启动子结构，为了鉴定RSSG8基因的基本启动子元件，将二条长度不同的5’端侧翼区缺失体(分别长471bp，260bp)定向插入载体pBI121中，取代原有的CaMV 35S启动子，构了驱动报告基因GUS的植物表达载体pRGUS1，pRGUS2，通过农杆菌介导的瞬时表达法转化烟草叶片和花粉，快速鉴定启动子片段中起关键作用的区域，结果显示两个缺失片段都能启动GUS的表达，可以初步判定这两个片段具有启动子功能。     

Biochemical characterization of the protein encoded by rice osRACD gene

A recombinant plasmid pET-racd was first constructed by cloning osRACD,the development-regulating gene that controls photoperiod fertility transformation in the photoperiod sensitive genic male sterile rice Nongken 58S,into a prokaryote expression vector pET28a(+).It was then transformed into E.Coli BL-21.Cutting with thrombin of the fusion protein extracted from transformants and PAGE separation yielded pure osRACD protein,which was further concentrated using ultrafiltration and renatured using glutathione oxidation/reduction refolding system for later functional study.As demonstrated by in vitro functional assay,the osRACD protein expressed in E.Coli B-21 shows remarkable activity in binding GTP specifically and hydrolyzing it.     

Comparative physical mapping of rice BAC clones linked to resistance genes Glh,Bph-3 and xa-5 in Oryza sativa L. and O. granulata Nees et Arn. ex Watt.

Oryza granulata Nees et Arn. ex Watt. is one of the three wild relatives of rice,which are the most valuable for study and utilization in China.In this study,the homology and physical locations of three rice resistance genes,Glh,Bph-3 and xa-5 are comparatively analyzed between O.sativa and O. granulata by Southern blotting and fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH).The results of Southern blotting indicate that there exist homologous sequences of the tested RFLP markers in O. granulata.By using three bacterial artificial chromosome (BAC) clones scanned by the tested RFLP as probes, FISH signals are detected on both mitotic and pachytene chromosomes in O.sativa and O.granulata.Dual-color FISH demonstrates that two of the three BAC clones (14E16 and 38J9) are located on the short arm of the same chromosome pair in O. granulata. Additionally, colinearity is shown for the two clones between O.sativa and O.granulata. Another BAC clone 44B4 is located on the end of the short arm of other chromosome pair in these two species.Although the phylogenetic relationship between O.sativa and O.granulata is the most distinct in Oryza and these two species have evidently different biological features and ecological habits, the relative lengths and arm ratios of the detected chromosomes and the relative positions of the tested clone signals on chromosomes in O. granulata are quite similar to those in O. sativa.     

水稻胰蛋白酶抑制剂对褐飞虱产卵刺激的响应

 昆虫产卵过程对寄主植物的直接刺激包括产卵器的机械损伤和卵表面物质带来影响,这些刺激是启动植物诱导抗虫性的重要途径。通过对褐飞虱产卵处理后水稻植株内胰蛋白酶抑制剂（BBPI）合成酶基因的表达量及物质含量的测定,对比褐飞虱取食和机械损伤处理,发现褐飞虱产卵能够诱导水稻BBPI合成酶基因的表达和BBPI物质的生成。处理后6 h,12 h,水稻 BBPI 表达量显著高于取食和机械损伤处理;产卵诱导的BBPI物质含量显著高于正常水稻。褐飞虱产卵诱导水稻启动〖WTBX〗BBPI〖WTBZ〗表达和物质合成表明,与取食危害类似,水稻同样会对褐飞虱产卵刺激产生响应,启动相应的植物防御体系,进而达到阻滞褐飞虱危害的目的。     

Ancient DNA sequences of rice from the low Yangtze reveal significant genotypic divergence

Rice (Oryza sativa) was first domesticated in the lower and middle Yangtze regions of China, and rice remains have been found in many Chinese archaeological sites. Until now, only phenotypic archeobotanical evidence, such as the spikelet bases of ancient grains, has been used to speculate on the domestication process and domestication rate of rice. In this study, we sequenced 4 genomic segments from rice remains in Tianluoshan, a site of the local Hemudu Neolithic culture in the low Yangtze and two other archaeological sites (~2400 and 1200 BC, respectively). We compared our sequences with those of the current domesticated and wild rice (O. rufipogon) populations. At least two genotypes were found in the remains from each site, suggesting a heterozygotic state of the rice seeds. One ancient genotype was not found in the current domesticated population and might have been lost. The rice remains belonged to the japonica group, and most if not all were japonica-type, suggesting that the remains might be at an early stage of indica-japonica divergence or an indica-japonica mixture. We also identified sequences with significant similarity to those from species of Sapindales, Zygophyllales, and Brassicales, which is consistent with the identification of other plant remains in the Tianluoshan site and the common rice field weeds such as mustards in southern China.
