An R2R3 MYB gene,PeMYBL1,was isolated from male inflorescence of Populus×euramericana by homologous cloning combined with in silico cloning techniques.The full length of PeMYBL1 cDNA was 1 094 bp encoding 276 amino acids.The deduced amino acid sequence contained two conserved MYB domains near the N-terminus,a conserved E1 motif and an acidic Ser/Thr rich region toward its C terminus.Phylogenetic analysis revealed that PeMYBL1 was clustered with AtMYB85 from Arabidopsis thaliana,ZmMYBL1 from Zea mays,OsMYB15...     

Full length cDNA cloning and expression analysis of annexinA2 gene from deer antler tissue

ANXA2（AnnexinA2）, a calcium-dependent phospholipid bind- ing protein, is involved in various Ca2＋-related biological activities. In the present study, full-length cDNA of ANXA2 was isolated from the velvet antler tip tissue of sika deer （Cervus nippon hortulomm）; the amino acid sequence and gene expression was analyzed by using bioinformatics and real-time reverse transcdptase polymerase chain reaction （RT-PCR） techniques. Nucleotide sequence analysis reveals that the full-length cDNA of the ANXA2 gene was 1372 bp, of which 1020 bp was in the opan-reading frame （OR.F） encoding 339 amino acids; its relative mo- lecular weight was 38.3 kDa; and isoelectrie point was 6.72. Sequence analysis indicates that the protein includes four conserved tan- dem-duplication ANX domains. The gene-aceession nucleotide sequence number in GenBank is JX315571. Expression analysis by RT-PCR re- veals that ANXA2 gene expression has a significant positive correlation with the antler-tissue mineralization process, indicating that this gene may play an important role in the regulation of antler-tissue mineraliza- tion.     

Construction and analysis of a subtracted cDNA library of Betula platyphylla female inflorescence

Female inflorescence of Betula platyphylla was sampled at an interval of each two days to analyze the background of gene expression in floral phase. On the basis of SMART strategy, the driver cDNA was obtained from total RNA of the last sample and the tester cDNA was from that of the others by RT-PCR which were subsequently used to construct a subtracted cDNA library. The result of the ESTs (expression sequence tags) blastX showed that the genes in the subtracted cDNA library could be mainly clustered into 5 groups related to metabolism, transportation and signal transduction, cell cycle, stress response, and regulation. The relationship between gene expression and development was also discussed.     

A novel cold-inducible promoter,PThCAP from Tamarix hispida,confers cold tolerance in transgenic Arabidopsis thaliana

Our previous studies have revealed that the Th CAP gene plays a vital role in transgenic Populus(P.davidiana 9 P.bolleana) in response to cold stress.However,the regulatory mechanism of Th CAP gene expression has been unclear.In this study,the 50 flanking region of the Th CAP promoter(PTh CAP) was cloned using a genomewalking method.By analyzing cis-acting regulatory elements of PTh CAP,a DRE motif and MYC and MYB elements were found to be located in the promoter.To identify the regulatory elements that control the expression of the Th CAP gene promoter,a series of deletion derivatives ofPTh CAP,P1–P5,from the translation start code(-1538,-1190,-900,-718 and-375 bp),were fused to the GUS reporter gene,and then each deletion was stably introduced into Arabidopsis thaliana plants.Deletion analysis of the promoter suggested that only the P2 fragment had strong GUS expression in leaves and roots of A.thaliana exposed to low temperature stress.These results suggest that this290-bp region(-1190 to-900 bp),as an important part in PTh CAP,was associated with cold tolerance of A.thaliana.Our results provide evidence for the regulatory mechanism of Th CAP gene involved in the response to cold stress,and that the gene is promising candidate gene for genetic improvement of crops.     

Cloning and sequence analysis of nine novel MYB genes in Taxodiaceae plants

Myeloblastosis(MYB) is one of the largest transcribed factor families in plants. To gain an overall picture of the evolution of MYB genes in relict plants, we cloned nine novel MYB genes in Taxodiaceae plants(Taxodium distichum, Taxodium ascendens, Cryptomeria japonica var. Sinensis, Cryptomeria japonica cv. Araucarioides, Cryptomer Japonica, Metasequoia glyptostroboides, Cunninghamia lanceolata, Taiwania cryptomerioides and Glyptostrobus pensilis). The deduced amino acid sequences for MYBs showed that the nine MYB proteins contained two DNA binding domains. The first domain is from amino acid position 29 to 78, wherein three tryptophanes at 33, 53 and 73 were separated by 19 amino acids, respectively. The second domain is from amino acid position 82 to 127, wherein three tryptophanes at 86, 105 and 124 were separated by 18 amino acids, respectively, whereas the first tryptophane at amino acid position 86 is replaced by a phenylalanine. The characterization of these conserved domains at nine MYBs indicated that they all belong to the R2R3-MYB group. The secondary structure analysis showed that α-helix and β-turn are the major motifs of the predicted secondary structure of MYBs. The three dimensional model of each MYB protein showed that the structure is like clip, making it more flexible and mobile. The similarities between the nine MYB proteins in Taxodiaceae were calculated. The highest identical value of 99% is between CjsMYB, CjMYB and CjaMYB, whereas the lowest value of 82% is between TaMYB and ClMYB. According to the phylogenetic tree, the distances between different genera were relatively large whereas those within genera were relatively small. As expected, accessions of the same genus formed a subgroup before being grouped with other genera.     

Cloning and RNAi Construction of a LEAFY Homologous Gene from Populus tomentosa and Preliminary Study in Tobacco

PtLFY, a LEAFY （LFY） gene, was cloned from Populus tomentosa （LM50） by PCR. Sequencing analysis indicated that PtLFY was 2629 bp long, composed of three exons and two introns and encoded 378 amino acids. The splice donor sites and the splice acceptor sites were in identical positions to the LFY and its homologues. The amino acid sequence inferred was 68%-99% homologous to those of LFY and its homologues by blast analysis in GenBank. The Southern blot analysis indicated that there was a single copy of the PtLFY gene in genomic DNA of male and female P. tomentosa （LM50 and 5082）. The pBI121-Ptalfy （reverse）-intron-Ptlfy-GUS-nos was constructed using RNA interference （RNAi） technique and verified by PCR and digestion identification and transformed into tobacco. Some transgenic tobacco plants were obtained by PCR and PCR-Southern identification. The growth was generally repressed in transgenic tobacco plants compared with wild-type ones and some phenotypic differences were observed.

茶树2个MYB转录因子基因的克隆及表达分析

MYB类转录因子是一类包含一段保守的DNA结合结构域的基因家族,广泛地参与植物发育和植物次生代谢的调节。根据前期芯片杂交和文库筛选得到的2个MYB转录因子的部分序列,采用RT-PCR和RACE技术分离得到它们的全长基因:CsMYB1和CsMYB2,在GenBank的登录号分别为HQ660373和HQ660374。序列分析表明:CsMYB1基因全长1132bp,开放阅读框长879bp,编码292个氨基酸,推测的蛋白分子量约为32.9ku,理论等电点为8.13;CsMYB2基因全长1020bp,其中开放阅读框长675bp,编码224个氨基酸,推测的蛋白分子量约为25.4ku,理论等电点为9.05。2个基因编码的蛋白均具有明显的R2R3MYB结构域,且在R3结构域的下游都含有1个相对保守的C1(LIXXGIDPXTHR)基序。同源性分析表明:茶树CsMYB1和CsMYB2编码的氨基酸序列与其他植物的MYB类转录因子具有较高的相似性,其中CsMYB1编码的氨基酸序列与陆地棉MYB1的相似性为57%,CsMYB2编码的氨基酸序列与葡萄MYBC2的相似性为75%。利用荧光定量PCR技术检测2个转录因子基因在遮荫处理条件下的表达规律,及其在茶树不同组织中的表达特性,结果表明:CsMYB1和CsMYB2在不同组织中均有表达,但表达量具有明显区别,其中CsMYB2在叶片中的相对表达量是根中的100多倍;而遮荫处理能明显降低叶片中的花青素含量,并提高CsMYB1的表达,但对转录因子CsMYB2的影响不大。     

基于单站三维激光扫描数据的林木胸径提取方法

2018年4月以天津市滨海新区海滨大道临港工业区段西侧约1km绿化段为试验区域,通过地面三维激光扫描仪获取单站点云数据,基于最小二乘圆拟合算法,利用LISP语言编制程序对林木胸径值进行自动提取,再通过现场抽测39株‘107杨’Populus×euramericana‘74/76’和65株刺槐Robiniapseudoacacia树对计算结果进行精度统计。结果表明,‘107杨’计算中误差为0.8cm,刺槐计算中误差为0.7cm,整体计算中误差为0.7cm,整体计算中误差<1cm。表明采用最小二乘圆拟合算法对单站点云数据进行胸径计算,效率更高、精度可靠,可应用于实际工程项目中。     

黑杨DNA甲基转移酶基因片段的分离及表达分析

利用同源序列克隆技术,分离了三倍体黑杨中4类(MET、CMT、DRM、DNMT2)8个特异甲基转移酶片段,其中,5个片段与二倍体同源性达到100%,3个片段发生了剪切变化。通过实时定量PCR技术检测8个甲基转移酶在不同倍性、不同部位、不同生长时期间表达模式的差异,通过对5个不同部位基因表达的检测,表明不同倍性黑杨在相同的部位可能由不同种类的甲基转移酶参与主要的甲基化调控。通过分析植株从分化早期的茎尖到分化晚期的叶和茎整个生长过程中基因表达的情况,发现随着时间的推移,MET家族 (PnD1和PnD2) 基因可能是拮抗调节,CMT (PnD3和PnD4) 家族基因可能是协同调节;而隶属于DNMT2家族的PnD6基因在各部位的表达都比较弱,唯独三倍体茎尖有很高的表达。由于茎尖是生长旺盛的部位,PnD6有可能是影响三倍体速生的重要基因。这些结果可能暗示,DNA甲基转移酶基因可能参与了黑杨发育过程中叶片形态发生的过程。     

两种杨树对铅和铅-镉复合胁迫的生理响应

不同品种的杨树对重金属污染土壤的修复和耐受性存在显著差异,为了解不同品种的杨树对铅(Pb)和镉(Cd)的耐抗特性,以南林95杨和南林895杨为研究对象,研究其在不同浓度Pb胁迫和PbCd复合胁迫下的生理响应,对其根系活力、过氧化氢酶(CAT)活性、可溶性蛋白质和叶绿素含量等指标进行对比分析,并采用主成分分析和隶属函数法综合评价2种杨树对Pb和Cd胁迫的耐受性。结果表明,南林95杨和南林895杨在Pb胁迫和Pb-Cd复合胁迫下,各生理指标的变化趋势大致相同,均表现出较强的耐受性;在Pb胁迫和Pb-Cd复合胁迫下,南林895杨的根系活力和CAT活性均强于南林95杨,但其叶绿素含量少于南林95杨。Pb胁迫下,南林95杨的可溶性蛋白质含量略高于南林895杨,在Pb-Cd复合胁迫下则相反。综合评价结果表明,南林895杨对重金属Pb和Cd的耐受性强于南林95杨,具有更好的修复前景。
