前红松和红松的系统比较研究

从结构植物学、植物生物化学、分子生物学三个方面对红松和前红松进行了系统的比较研究.结果表明:前红松叶的角质层内表面的胞间凸缘为浅波浪状,缘厚;红松叶的角质层内表面的胞间凸缘为深波浪状,缘窄.过氧化物同工酶电泳结果可见,前红松有8条酶带,红松有7条酶带;前红松的酯酶同工酶电泳有6条酶带,红松的酯酶同工酶电泳有5条酶带.前红松与红松叶绿体基因组中的rbcL基因片段458个核苷酸中有5个不同.     

日本沼虾表皮蛋白基因的克隆及表皮组织差异性表达分析

为探究日本沼虾表皮蛋白(Macrobrachium nipponense cuticle proteins,MnCPs)表达模式与表皮组织差异的关系,根据日本沼虾表皮组织转录组测序结果,从头胸甲中克隆到1个含几丁质结合-4(chitin_bind_4)结构域的表皮蛋白(cuticle proteins,CPs)基因,命名为MnCP-2,经BLAST检索,MnCP-2与远海梭子蟹(Portunus pelagicus,ABM54465.1)有50%的相似性.以健康幼虾(体长3.0~4.0cm)的头胸甲、尾扇、游泳足和步足4种厚度存在差异的表皮组织为材料,分别提取C期、D_(0-2)期、D_(3-4)期和A期的RNA,采用Real-time PCR技术,分析了MnCP-2在蜕皮周期不同阶段的相对表达量.结果显示,MnCP-2在头胸甲、尾扇和游泳足中表达水平的峰值出现在D_(3-4)期,而在步足中则出现在D_(0-2)期.提示MnCP-2编码的蛋白可能在新外表皮的形成中发挥重要作用,它在表皮组织不同部位的差异性表达可能是导致表皮结构差异的原因之一.     

The postpharyngeal glands and the cuticle of Formicidae contain the same characteristic hydrocarbons

Summary Comparison of the contents of the postpharyngeal gland and cuticular hydrocarbons of five species of ant have shown them to contain the same compounds and to be characteristic of the species. For four species (Formica selysi, Camponotus lateralis, Camponotus vagus andManica rubida), quantitative similarity was very close, but more divergent in the fifth (Myrmica rubra). Glands and cuticle ofM. rubra queens were shown to be closely similar to those of workers, except the glands of queens are larger, but the cuticle of larvae was different from that of adult cuticle and postpharyngeal glands.
