杨树抗黑斑病相关基因表达谱分析

利用黑斑病的高抗无性系美洲黑杨I-69及黑斑病的高感无性系欧美杨I-45为材料建立的2个cDNA文库,随机挑取cDNA克隆进行5'端EST序列测序,共获得有效序列20 023条.序列经聚类分析和拼接后,共获得10 816个Unigene,其中包括3 734个Contig,7 082个独立的Singleton.被注释的8 853个具有同源性匹配序列基因中,按照GO的分子功能、生物过程和细胞组分3个不同分类角度进行分类.在具有功能注释的8 853个Unigene中,选出330个与完成全基因组测序的毛果杨序列进行BLAST分析,结果发现有177个抗病相关候选基因出现在282个Unigene中,其中135个分布于杨树的18个不同连锁群上,其他42个基因位于还没定位的scaffolds上.所测定的这些EST序列为后期在基因组水平上研究杨树黑斑病的水平抗性遗传机制及进一步的相关基因发现奠定基础.

Abstract：

In an attempt to elucidate the molecular mechanism for resistance of black spot disease in poplar,gene expression profiles in leaves of Populus deltoides'Lus'(I-69/55)and P.euramericana'I-45/51',which were inoculated with the pathogen Marssonina brunnea f.sp.brunnea,were analyzed based on expressed sequence tags (ESTs).A total of 20 023 valid ESTs from the 5'terminal ends derived from corresponding cDNA libraries of the two poplar species were sequenced.Cluster analysis of the 20 023 sequences yielded 10 816 tentative unigenes,including 3 734 contigs and 7 082 singletons.All tentative unigenes were classified by Gene Ontology functional categories.To find resistance-associated candidate genes and locate them on poplar genome,330 unigenes was chosen from 8 853 annotated tentative unigenes,and their BLAST alignment was conducted with Populus trichocarpa assembly,1 77 related candidate resistant genes were found,and they presented in 282 unigenes.Among these genes,there were 1 35 genes located on 18 different linkage groups of poplar genome,and 42 genes located on the different scaffolds.This study supplied a resource of candidate genes for further exploring the genetic mechanism for the host horizontal resistance to the pathogen Marssonina brunnea at the whole genome range,and provided important information for further gene discovery.     

橘色双冠丽鱼TYR基因的克隆及其发育时序和组织表达分析

酪氨酸酶(tyrosinase,TYR)是动物体内黑色素合成信号通路中起关键性作用的限速酶,黑色素生成的速度和种类取决于TYR基因的表达量和活性水平.为了解色素相关基因与体色变化的关系,采用cDNA末端快速克隆技术(rapid-amplification of cDNA ends,RACE)技术获得橘色双冠丽鱼(Amphilophus citrinellus) TYR基因cDNA全序列,并利用qRT-PCR分析了橘色双冠丽鱼体色变化不同时期和不同组织中TYR基因的表达差异.实验获得cDNA全长序列2 683 bp,其中阅读框1 620bp,编码540个氨基酸,5'UTR区246 bp,3'UTR区817 bp.氨基酸序列和系统发育分析表明,相比与脊椎动物间的保守性,TYR蛋白序列在鱼类间的保守性更高.qRT-PCR结果表明,TYR基因在胚胎各期均有表达,受精期表达量最低,血液循环期开始急速上升;在“黑色-灰色-亮黄色”三个典型体色褪黑过程中,各组织TYR基因表达量均在黑色期呈现最高值,显著高于灰色和亮黄色期,灰色到亮黄色时期鳞片和尾鳍的TYR基因表达量逐渐降低,但差异不显著(P＞0.05),而皮肤组织的TYR基因表达量在三个体色褪黑期均显著降低(P＜0.05);亮黄色时期,TYR基因在心、肾、脑、鳔、性腺、尾鳍和眼等组织均有表达,其中眼部表达量最高,其次是鳔和尾鳍,皮肤和性腺表达量最低.橘色双冠丽鱼TYR基因在三个典型体色褪黑期表达逐渐降低,可能与红色素细胞和黄色素细胞逐渐增多以及黑色素细胞数量和分布比例发生变化相关.本研究通过了解体色变异的分子基础,为鱼类体色遗传和体色改良研究积累资料.

Identification and expression analysis of 11 MADS-box genes in peach (Prunus persica var. nectarina ‘Luxing’)

MADS-box genes play a central role in the development of flowers in plants. In this study, 11 PpMADSs were isolated from ‘Luxing’ peach, and the expression levels were detected in different tissues and fruit development. Eleven PpMADSs, designated as PpMADS13, 14, 18, 23, 24, 25, 32, 33, 34, 35, and 39 were isolated. Phylogenetic analysis revealed that PpMADS13, 14, and 18 belonged to SVP, AGL15, and MIKC* group respectively; PpMADS23, 24, 25, and 39 were in the Mα group; PpMADS32, 33, 34, and 35 belonged to the Mγ group. Predictions from subcellular localization showed that 10 PpMADS were located in the nucleus. RT-PCR revealed that PpMADS13 was expressed in stems, leaves, and during fruit development (70d); PpMADS14 was expressed in sepals, stamens, petals, and during flower development; PpMADS18 was expressed in roots, stems, leaves, sepals, ovaries, stamens, petals, and during flower and fruit development; all MADS-box genes (expect for PpMADS33) in the Mα and Mγ group were expressed in roots, stems, leaves, sepals, ovaries, stamens, petals, and during flower development; few genes were expressed during fruit development. These results indicated that PpMADS may play a crucial regulatory role in vegetative growth and development processes of flowers and fruits in peaches.     

Identification and Molecular Characteristics Analysis of Porcine Epidemic Diarrhea Virus Variants

To ascertain a diarrhea case in a pig farm in Shandong province,the pathological changes of dead piglets were observed and nested RT-PCR test was carried out on 7 diarrhea samples for porcine epidemic diarrhea virus (PEDV).Pathological examination revealed that intestine was detected as enlargement,hyperemia and edema.After histological examination,the typical microscopic lesions of intestine were disappearance of epithelial cells,villus shrinkage and shortening.The result of nested RT-PCR showed that all of the 7 samples could amplify a specific target band of PEDV.Molecular characteristics of two field strains showed that they had an amino acid homology of 92.3% to 92.4% with vaccine CV777 and 96.6% to 98.6% with other previous field strains which sequences were downloaded from GenBank.Phylogenetic tree analysis further revealed that all of PEDV strains could be mainly divided into two clusters of G1 and G2. G2 consisted of the field strains of our study and other field strains from USA,China and so on,which had the same sequence characteristics of two insertions and one deletion,while G1 consisted of all vaccines of CV777 and several older field strains from China and Korea.These results indicated that our field strains were the dominant strains in recent epidemic diarrhea occurrence.Moreover,its molecular characteristics might be a characterization of differentiating the field and vaccine strains.
