鱼类金属硫蛋白基因的表达与调控

金属硫蛋白(Metallothionein,MT)是一类能选择性地结合重金属离子的低分子量蛋白质。自Marafante及其同事于1970年证明MT在真骨鱼类中的存在以来,人们就对MT在动物体内和体外的作用和功能进行了广泛的研究。Dunn等(1987)对鱼类MT的研究表明,这类蛋白质长度极为均一,由60~61个氨     

赣江下游丰城江段鱼类早期资源现状调查

对赣江鱼类早期资源的调查,可为赣江鱼类资源保护以及水利工程生态调度提供科学依据.2017年5-7月,在赣江丰城段使用圆锥网采集鱼卵和弶网采集仔鱼,对鱼类早期资源种类组成、产卵规模和产卵场进行分析.结果显示,调查期间共采集鱼卵11215粒,仔鱼12645尾,隶属于4目、8科、36种,其中产漂流性卵鱼类24种.估算调查期间通过丰城段卵苗径流量为66.66×１０^８粒(尾),其中鱼卵径流量63.84×10^8 粒,鱼苗径流量2.82×10^8 尾;“四大家鱼”卵苗径流量为0.11×10^8 粒(尾),其中鱼卵径流量0.07×10^8 粒,鱼苗径流量0.04×10^8 尾.调查期间出现3次产卵高峰,集中在6 月上、中旬.各类群鱼卵数量呈现出不同的时间动态,银鮈(Squalidusargentatus)产卵高峰期主要出现在5月,银鲴(Xenocyprisargentea)、鳊(Parabramispekinensis)、赤眼鳟(Squaliobarbuscurriculus)以及“四大家鱼”则主要出现在6月.研究表明,峡江水利枢纽运行后,邻近峡江水利枢纽的巴邱“四大家鱼”产卵场消失,但其下游的仁和、新干产卵场保存较完整,在离坝较远的大洋洲镇江段新调查到一处“四大家鱼”产卵场.建议开展生态调度及增殖放流活动,以保护赣江鱼类资源.     

鱼类免疫增强剂的研究现状与进展

现代水产养殖业追求优质高产,但在大规模高密度的养殖生产中,往往会导致鱼体的抗应激能力下降,病害增多,成活率下降,造成重大经济损失。近年来,国内外学者对鱼类免疫机制及其病害防治方法已进行了大量研究,其中免疫增强剂因能增强机体抗疾病感染的能力,其免疫增强作用所需时间较短,且没有记忆成分,被认为是一种提高鱼体免疫活性及疾病抵抗力的有效方法,具有重要的应用价值。     

The importance of the riparian ecotone and river hydraulics for sustainable basin-scale restoration scenarios

1. The effect of riparian ecotone functional complexity and stream hydraulics on an upland river ecosystem has been analysed. 2. The amount of nutrients retained by bottom sediment was lowest on a sandy substrate (range: 26–104 mg m⁻² P-PO₄) and highest in wetland bays (range: 558–5368 mg m⁻² P-PO₄). A stream bed covered by Berula erecta had about three times higher retentive nutrient capacity ( x̄ = 584 mg m⁻² day⁻¹) than did a sandy substrate( x̄ = 205 mg m⁻² day⁻¹). 3. The amount of allochthonous organic matter (CPOM) deposited on the stream bed decreased with current velocity. The trophic potential of CPOM, measured as total protein, was significantly correlated with the amount of deposited CPOM (r = 0.863; p<0.00001) and depended on stream order. 4. Both invertebrate and fish biomass in the upland river were significantly correlated with calcium/bicarbonate (benthos: r = 0.858; p<0.006; fish: r = 0.918; p<0.001). 5. Fish biomass, diversity and species richness were highest in pools, lower in riffles and lowest in the run/transition zone. 6. Macroinvertebrate biomass was highest at an intermediate riparian ecotone complexity with an adequate supply of organic matter and incident light. Fish biomass followed the same trend, being lowest in heavily shaded areas and in open channels without riparian vegetation (range: 1–4.5 g m⁻²), but highest in ecotones of intermediate complexity (range: 1.6–92.8 g m⁻²). The ‘cascading effect’ of invertebrate density depletion, which was inversely related to fish biomass, was observed seasonally. 7. The above results indicate that riparian ecotone structure and the heterogeneity of the stream channel may regulate biodiversity, productivity and nutrient retention in the fluvial corridor. These quantitative data help to create alternative scenarios for sustainable river basin management. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

鱼类类胡萝卜素着色研究进展

类胡萝卜素(carotenoid)是影响鱼类体色特性的主要色素,但鱼类自身不能合成这一色素,因此必须从食物中摄入。鱼类类胡萝卜素着色过程涉及对类胡萝卜素的代谢与沉积过程,色素细胞的分化和空间排列,以及与其他色素和色素细胞间的相互作用,这一过程非常复杂,但我们对其机理知之甚少。综述了类胡萝卜素着色效果与鱼类遗传特性、生理状态以及环境因素之间的相关关系,对该研究领域发展趋势进行了讨论和展望,期望为我国研究鱼类体色的形成机制提供一些新的信息。     

Transgene introgression from Brassica napus to different varieties of Brassica juncea

Transgene introgression from transgenic rapeseed (Brassica napus) to different varieties of B. juncea was assessed in this study. Crossability between a transgenic rapeseed line Z7B10 (pollen donor) and 80 cultivars of 16 B. juncea varieties (including two wild accessions) was estimated by artificial pollination in a greenhouse. As a result, interspecific crossability between the transgenic Z7B10 line and the 80 B. juncea cultivars varied considerably, with seeds per flower from 0.00–10.67. Seed germination rates of the interspecific F₁ hybrids ranged from 49.0%–89.3%. The estimated frequencies of natural gene flow from the transgenic Z7B10 line to 10 B. juncea cultivars with different uses in the experiment field varied from 0.08% to 0.93%. The natural F₁ hybrids were highly sterile, with seeds per silique ranging from 0.27 to 1.03. In addition, seeds per flower of hybrid descendants varied from 0.02 to 0.22 when F₁ hybrids were self‐pollinated, and those ranged from 0.03 to 0.30 when F₁ hybrids were backcrossed with their corresponding B. juncea parents. Results of this study suggest a low level of transgene introgression from transgenic rapeseed to different B. juncea varieties, which provides a sound scientific basis for the safety management of coexisting transgenic B. napus and B. juncea varieties in China.     

Overexpression of AmDUF1517 enhanced tolerance to salinity,drought, and cold stress in transgenic cotton

As abiotic stresses become more severe as a result of global climate changes, the growth and development of plants are restricted. In the development of agricultural crops with greater stress tolerance, AmDUF1517 had been isolated from the highly stress-tolerant shrub Ammopiptanthus mongolicus, and can significantly enhance stress tolerance when inserted in Arabidopsis thaliana. In this study, we inserted this gene into cotton to analyze its potential for conferring stress tolerance. Two independent transgenic cotton lines were used. Southern blot analyses indicated that AmDUF1517 was integrated into the cotton genome. Physiological analysis demonstrated that AmDUF1517-transgenic cotton had stronger resistance than the control when treated with salt, drought, and cold stresses. Further analysis showed that trans-AmDUF1517 cotton displayed significantly higher antioxidant enzyme (superoxide dismutase (SOD), peroxidase (POD), catalase (CAT), and glutathione S-transferase (GST)) activity and less reactive oxygen species (ROS) accumulation, which suggests that overexpression of AmDUF1517 can improve cotton resistance to stress by maintaining ROS homeostasis, as well as by alleviating cell membrane injury. These results imply that AmDUF1517 is a candidate gene in improving cotton resistance to abiotic stress.

转Bt Cry1Ac基因抗虫棉花外源基因漂移研究

【目的】研究转Bt Cry1Ac基因棉花外源基因漂移规律,为转基因棉花生态安全性评价提供依据。【方法】2014年在吐鲁番市和2015年在库尔勒市,利用小区试验种植转基因棉花,翌年利用卡那霉素抗性检测结合分子检测的方法检测外源基因的漂移。【结果】在距离转基因棉花小区边缘1~120 m均能检测到含有外源基因Cry1Ac。SGK321种子漂移率最大漂移率是向南方向距离转基因棉花小区边缘1 m处,漂移率为5 %;GK19最大漂移率是向西方向达到了10.09 %。以方向因素和距离因素建立Cry1Ac基因漂移Logistic回归预测模型,方向和距离对种子漂移都有显著影响(P <0.05),但方向和距离两个因子并不能最终决定外源基因的漂移率。【结论】转基因棉花外源基因漂移率受方向和距离的影响,但最终决定外源基因的漂移率,并不是方向和距离联合作用的结果。
