Pseudomonas putida BP25 alters root phenotype and triggers salicylic acid signaling as a feedback loop in regulating endophytic colonization in Arabidopsis thaliana

Endophytic Pseudomonas putida BP25 (PpBP25) triggered density dependent alterations on Arabidopsis thaliana Col-0 growth. Endogenous colonization of PpBP25 was found regulated within Arabidopsis that caused induction and repression of 131 and 74 plant genes, respectively. Induced genes like WRKY33, AtRLP19, ATL2, ATEXO70B2, pEARLI, RPS2, CBP60G, PLA2, CRK18, ATFBS1, DREB2A, TIR, RAP2.4, and MOS1 were components of defense and salicylic acid (SA) signaling. Development associated genes were found significantly repressed. Biased activation of phytohormone signaling with their associated fitness costs on plant growth was observed. The data suggests that PpBP25 colonization triggered expression of defense genes that restricted its own population in a feedback loop besides causing altered root phenotype.     

‘岩溪晚芦’椪柑果皮与果肉差减cDNA文库的构建及初步分析

 以‘岩溪晚芦’(Citrus reticulata Blanco)成熟果皮和果肉为材料，采用抑制性差减杂交技术，成功构建了果皮（tester）与果肉（driver）的差减cDNA文库。结果显示：cDNA克隆外源插入片段大小介于100～500 bp之间。成功对411个克隆进行了测序，测序结果经与NCBI基因库中序列进行比较，377个EST 找到了同源序列，它们分属于126个基因，涉及到与色素合成、能量代谢、初级代谢、次生代谢、抗逆防御、蛋白代谢、信号转导、香味形成、果皮软化（衰老）、精油合成、抗氧化代谢等代谢途径和生理生化过程。还有一些基因涉及到三价铁螯合物、反转录转座子gag蛋白、查尔酮合成、硼离子转运、儿茶酚氧位甲基转移酶等功能。功能已知且没有重复的EST共有63个，占总数的49.2%。有5个基因共62个克隆虽在Blast搜索时找到了较高的同源性序列，但功能目前尚未明确，有待进一步深入分析。另有34个基因未搜索到同源序列，可能为新发现的基因。     

镉对小鼠卵巢颗粒细胞凋亡的影响研究

为探讨镉对雌性生殖机能的影响,幼鼠皮下注射孕马血清促性腺激素(PMSG),48 h后腹腔注射不同剂量的氯化镉,用琼脂糖凝胶电泳及TUNEL法对卵巢颗粒细胞进行凋亡检测;免疫组织化学法检测颗粒细胞的bax表达。结果显示注射氯化镉后48 h的高、中、低剂量组卵巢颗粒细胞(GC)凋亡率分别为(13.887 1±1.329 9)%、(10.757 3±1.229 3)%(、10.020 8±0.983 7)%,均显著高于对照组(0.637 8±0.387 2)%(P<0.01);96 h对照组GC凋亡率显著升高,高剂量组与其它组间差异明显,中、低剂量组与对照组差异不明显。凝胶电泳仅96 h高剂量组呈现梯状带。48 h、96 h各剂量组bax表达明显高于对照组(P<0.01)。可见镉对卵巢颗粒细胞的凋亡有促进作用,并有一定的剂量相关性;TUNEL法检测细胞凋亡优于电泳法,当细胞凋亡率较低时(<20%),电泳检测不到DNA梯状带;卵巢颗粒细胞凋亡和bax的表达有一定的相关性,随凋亡率的升高bax表达呈上升趋势。     

A 192bp allele at the <Emphasis Type="Italic">Xgwm261</Emphasis> locus is not always associated with the <Emphasis Type="Italic">Rht8</Emphasis> dwarfing gene in wheat (<Emphasis Type="Italic">Triticum aestivum</Emphasis> L.)

The height-reducing gene Rht8 was introduced into Italian wheats by breeder Nazareno Strampelli from the Japanese landrace Akakomugi, and has been widely used in wheats adapted to southern and eastern European conditions. Following identification of a close linkage to Rht8, microsatellite marker Gwm261 has been used extensively to screen large numbers of diverse international germplasm. A 192bp allele at this locus has been taken as “diagnostic” for Rht8 and used to infer the international distribution of Rht8. In this paper, we report several instances of cultivars and mapping populations that vary for the presence of the 192bp allele at the Xgwm261 locus (Xgwm261 ₁₉₂ ), but with no associated reduction in height, suggesting a lack of association with Rht8. For instance, in the population derived from a cross between Sunco (Rht-B1b, Xgwm261 ₁₆₅ ) and Tasman (Rht-D1b, Xgwm261 ₁₉₂ ), there were significant height differences associated with the segregation of Rht-B1b and Rht-D1b, but no height differences between Xgwm261 genotypes. Similar results were obtained in a population derived from the cross between Molineux (Rht-B1b, Xgwm261 ₁₉₂ ) and Trident (Rht-D1b Xgwm261 ₂₀₈ ). In contrast, the cross between Trident and Chuanmai 18 (Xgwm261 ₁₉₂ ) gave significant height effects at both the Rht-D1 and Xgwm261 loci, with no epistatic interaction between loci. Chuanmai 18 is closely related to the Strampelli wheat Mara (ancestrally derived from Akakomugi) and is therefore likely to carry Rht8. The old Japanese cultivar Norin 10, used by Norman Borlaug to introduce Rht-B1b and Rht-D1b into Mexican wheats, also has a 192bp allele at the Xgwm261 locus, and the sequence of the amplified product is identical to that of Akakomugi. We suggest that the widespread use of Norin 10-derived germplasm during and after the Green Revolution introduced a second haplotype into international germplasm, in which Xgwm261 ₁₉₂ has no association with Rht8. Therefore, the presence of Xgwm261 ₁₉₂ is only indicative of Rht8 in wheat cultivars that have inherited this allele from Akakomugi or a Strampelli wheat ancestor.
