拟南芥雄性不育突变体nps的基因定位

nps是经EMS诱变筛选得到的一拟南芥雄性不育突变体．通过背景纯化与遗传分析，发现nps突变体是受隐性单基因控制．形态学观察表明，突变体的花缺失花瓣和雄蕊，主要由两轮萼片和一轮肥大的雌蕊组成．利用图位克隆的方法对不育基因NPs进行了定位，结果表明NPS位于第五条染色体上分子标记F15L12和MHJ24之间1378kb的区间内．数据库预测该区间内包含10个与花发育ABC模型相关的基因，因此，对NPS基因的研究有助于深入了解拟南芥的花发育过程与花器官形成．     

Identification and characterization of a salt tolerance-responsive gene( AtGRP9) of Arabidopsis

Soil salinity is one of the important limiting factors for plant growth and development. A cDNA clone encoding a glycine-rich protein (designated AtGRP9) was identified from Arabidopsis by functional expression of the plant cDNA library in the fission yeast S. pombe. Yeast cells overexpressing AtGRP9 displayed significantly enhanced salt tolerance. Northern analysis showed that expression of AtGRP9 in Arabidopsis was induced by NaCl and plant hormone abscisic acid (ABA). These results suggest that AtGRP9 may be involved in the salt stress response in Arabidopsis.     

多基因双T-DNA植物表达载体的构建及拟南芥转化

多基因植物表达载体用于植物遗传转化是培育具有多种优良品质作物的有效策略. 双T-DNA系统是实现筛选完成后选择标记基因删除的一种简便可行的方式. 为培育高度抗逆或去除标记基因的农作物，构建了多基因双T-DNA植物表达载体2T-bbgdD，其中含有一个抗除草剂基因bar, 3个抗逆相关基因(DREB1A, Na+依赖性Pi转运体基因（d5）, betA)和一个报告基因gfp. 利用农杆菌介导法将该载体转入拟南芥，获得了多基因共转化及去除标记基因的转基因拟南芥. 可将此植物表达载体进一步用于作物的遗传转化.

Crucial function of histone lysine methylation in plant reproduction

Unlike animals, plants do not set aside germ cells early in development. In angiosperm species, reproduction occurs in the adult plant upon flowering. The multicellular male and female gametophytes differentiate from meiotic products within reproductive floral organs. Double fertilization is another remarkable feature of most angiosperm species. The zygote derived from fertilization of the egg cell by one of the sperm cells and the endosperm from fertilization of the central cell by the second sperm cell develop in a coordinated manner together and enclosed in the sporophytic maternal integuments, forming the seed. Understanding plant reproduction is biologically pertinent and agronomically and ecologically important. Here, we describe the known functions of histone lysine methylations in various steps of reproduction in the reference plant Arabidopsis thaliana. It is emerging that histone lysine methylation is key for understanding epigenetic regulation networks of genome function.

拟南芥AtERF1蛋白的原核可溶性表达及多克隆抗体的制备

转录因子AtERF1属于ERF/AP2家族的B3亚家族,参与植物的防卫反应.根据密码子简并原理,用基因全合成的方法合成了满足大肠杆菌密码子嗜好的编码拟南芥AtERF1蛋白的碱基序列,并将其克隆到原核表达载体pET-29b.将表达载体AtERF1-pET-29b转入大肠杆菌BL21(DE3),用IPTG成功诱导表达了分子量约30kD的AtERF1蛋白,该蛋白主要以可溶性蛋白的形式存在.以该蛋白为抗原免疫家兔,制备出的多克隆抗体经免疫双扩散测定效价达1∶16,Western blot检测表明该抗血清与AtERF1蛋白识别良好.AtERF1抗体的制备为进一步从生化水平上研究AtERF1的功能奠定了良好基础.     

拟南芥HSP70基因启动子表达载体的构建及在烟草BY2细胞中的应用

探讨了拟南芥的HSP70基因在液体悬浮培养的烟草BY2细胞中的表达及应用.用PCR扩增的方法从拟南芥col生态型基因组中扩增获得HSP70基因启动子序列,将其连入p1300表达载体且以GFP为报告基因,将该表达载体采用农杆菌转基因转入液体悬浮培养的烟草BY2细胞中,观察转基因细胞中报告基因GFP的表达情况.结果显示:HSP70:GFP转基因液体悬浮培养的烟草BY2细胞中有GFP的表达.该表达载体可在液体悬浮培养的BY2细胞中正常表达,且可在较短时间内获得大量实验材料,对拟南芥的HSP70基因启动子的进一步研究提供理论依据和丰富的实验材料,且可明显缩短实验周期.
