甘蓝型油菜独脚金内酯相关基因的克隆与表达分析

独脚金内酯(strigolactones,SLs)是一类新鉴定的植物激素,参与抑制茎分枝.采用同源克隆技术自甘蓝型油菜中得到了三个SLs相关基因,分别命名为BnMAX4,BnMAX1和BnD14,其CDS各长1707,1593,804bp,推测编码的蛋白质功能分别为β-类胡萝卜素加氧酶,细胞色素P450,α/β水解酶.RT-qPCR表达分析显示在野生型甘蓝型油菜二叶及四叶一心期的各组织器官中,BnMAX4主要在二叶一心期的根中表达;BnMAX1无明显表达优势组织;BnD14在二叶一心期的叶中高表达.旱胁迫及盐胁迫处理时BnMAX4的表达趋势为骤降;BnMAX1旱胁迫处理时表达量降低,盐胁迫处理时先下降后上升,9h后又下降;BnD14旱胁迫处理时在3h与12h各有两个表达高点,盐胁迫处理时在3h表达量最高.

Fine mapping and cloning of MT1,a novel allele of D10

Rice tillering is an important determinant for grain production.To investigate the mechanism of tillering,we characterized a multiple tillering mutant (mt1) identified from the japonica variety,Zhonghua 11,treated with EMS.This mutant exhibits advanced tillering development and dwarfed compared with wild-type plants.Genetic analysis and fine gene mapping indicated that the mt1 mutant was controlled by a recessive gene,residing on a 29-kb window on AP003376 of chromosome 1.One putative gene in this region,encoding a carotenoid cleavage dioxygenase 8 (CCD8),was allelic to D10.The mt1 mutant phenotype was complemented by introduction of wild-type MT1,and knockdown of MT1 in wild-type rice mimicked the mutant phenotype.Real-time PCR analysis indicated that the MT1 gene is expressed highly in stems and at a low level in axillary buds,panicles,leaves,and roots.In addition,MT1 expression is clearly under feedback regulation.     

Plant polar growth in tobacco disturbed by γ-tubulin gene silencing

To further understand the functions of γ-tubulin in plant cells, we conducted a study in which the γ-tubulin gene was down-regulated in tobacco plants (obtained by the Agrobacterium-mediated method). This involved transforming the target fragments, in which the sense and antisense partial γ-tubulin cDNA fragments were ligated together, into Nicotiana tabacum var. Samsun NN. The γ-tubulin downregulated transformants developed multiple meristems or branches with trumpet-shaped leaves; their root generation also appeared abnormal, with the taproots undeveloped, whereas lateral roots were developed. In addition, the content of indole-3-acetic acid (IAA) and expression of polarity transportation vector PGP1 were aberrant. These results suggest that γ-tubulin gene silencing disturbed the polar growth of tobacco plants, and that this phenomenon was probably correlated with the IAA content and the polar transportation process.     

A novel methodology for finding the regulation on gene expression data

DNA microarray technology is a high throughput and parallel technique for genomic investigation due to its advantages of simultaneously surveying features of large scales complex data in biology. This paper aims to find feature subset to build the classifier for gene expression data analysis. At first, K-means clustering algorithm was carried out on the dataset of yeast cell cycle. Based on rand calculation, a statistical method was used to pick out the data points (genes) for classifier design. Meanwhile, the principal component analysis was applied to help to construct the classifier. For the validation of classifier built and prediction of a target subset of genes, discriminant analysis in terms of partial least square regression and artificial neural network were also performed.
