为了进。步分析猪笼草瓶状体内消化液中蛋白质的性质，本研究在不同的温度和pH条件下测定消化液中蛋白酶的活性，并且比较了3种不同沉淀方法对消化液蛋白进行的浓缩，通过SDS-聚丙烯酰胺电泳对消化液蛋白作了初步分离。结果表明，猪笼草消化液中蛋白酶的最适酶活温度为50℃，且稳定性最高；当pH为5时，该蛋白酶活性出现峰值，采用氯仿-正丁醇法（5：1）沉淀浓缩猪笼草消化液蛋白样品效果最佳。聚丙烯酰胺电泳结果表明，消化液至少包括三种蛋白组分，分子量分别为24.3kD、35．1kD和61．4kD，且35．1kD条带具有抗胰蛋白酶消化活性。本研究为综合开发利用猪笼草野生资源提供理论依据。

Protein Phosphorylation and Protein Patterns in Developing Endosperms of Barley

The SDS-soluble protein-fractions of barley endosperms (2 and 3 weeks after anthesis) were compared using 1-D SDS-PAGE and 2-D IEF/SDS-PAGE. Similar procedures have been followed after in vivo phosphorylation of isolated endosperm with ³²PO₄.Protein patterns were similar when 1-D SDS-PAGE was used. On the other hand, 2-D IEF/SDS-PAGE revealed several major differences, the most important being the appearance of a major protein of Mr about 40,000 in the 3-weeks old endosperm. By contrast, the patterns of phosphorylated proteins, with both methods, were relatively simple. Only two phosphorylated bands showed up in the 3-weeks old endosperm: a highly labelled band of Mr about 65,000, and a band of about 75,000. In the case of 2-weeks old endosperm, where the phosphorylation was more active, these and several others were also labelled, but the Mr 75,000 band was labelled more intensely.     

Allelic variation of the HMW glutenin subunits in Aegilops tauschii accessions detected by sodium dodecyl sulphate (SDS-PAGE), acid polyacrylamide gel (A-PAGE) and capillary electrophoresis

Variability of high molecular weight glutenin subunits (HMW-GS) was studied in198 accessions of Ae. Tauschii (2n=2x=14, DD) by sodium dodecyl sulphate(SDS-PAGE) and acid polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (A-PAGE) and capillary electrophoresis (CE). A high allelic variation of HMW-GS, including some novel x- and y-type subunits and variable subunit combinations were observed. One accession(TD159) showed a x-type null form. The results by A-PAGE analysis revealed that the subunits Dx5 ^t and Dy10 ^t encoded by Glu-D ^t 1 locus in Ae. tauschii were different in relative mobilities in comparison with the subunits Dx5 and Dy10 found in bread wheats, whereas they had the same mobilities, respectively, when separated by SDS-PAGE. The higher resolution of Ae. tauschii HMW-GS separated by CE method showed two clear peaks in accordance with x- and y-type subunits, respectively,except the accession TD151 which possessed only subunit Dy12.1^*t. The electro elution time of the x-type and y-type subunits were about 13–14 and 7–8minutes, respectively. Characterization of wheat HMW-GS was facilitated by using CE which provides high resolution and increases the speed of analysis in conjunction with the traditional gel electrophoretic methods. A total of 42HMW-GS alleles were identified, among which were several alleles not presently detected in bread wheats. Hence Ae. tauschii is potentially a valuable genetic resource for quality improvement of bread wheat. This revised version was published online in August 2006 with corrections to the Cover Date.     

利用SDS-PAGE鉴定转基因小麦HMW-GS的表达类型和后代遗传

采用SDS-聚丙烯酰胺凝胶电泳(SDS-PAGE)在蛋白质水平上对T2～T5代小麦转基因株系高分子量谷蛋白亚基(HMW—GS)的遗传表达及其分离进行了鉴定和分析。结果发现，外源1Dx5和1Dy10基因在T2代部分株系中表达；在有的株系中出现了原亚基(8亚基)的缺失或沉默和新亚基(暂定8^*)的产生，因而检测出2 5 10 12，2 5 7 8^* 10 12，5 7 10，2 7 10 12的多种类型。对2 5 10 12型株系进行了多代跟踪分析，发现其在T2～T5代陆续发生分离，存在于不同单株、不同单穗的子粒和同一单粒后代之间。经筛选，获得了天然不存在的亚基类型为2 5 10 12，2 10 12，2 5 12等稳定表达的种质创新株系。     

Isoenzyme and cotyledon protein variation for identification of black beans (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) with similar seed morphology

Summary Methods developed to identify genetically diverse varieties of beans (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) were applied to closely related lines that were difficult to distinguish on the basis of seed morphology. Seedling tissues and seeds of black beans, were examined electrophoretically for isoenzyme and cotyledon proteinn protein patterns. Seven enzymes, extracted from seeds or from seedling stem, root or leaf tissues, were compared for polymorphism. Peptidase, polyphenol oxidase, phosphoglucoisomerase and glutamate oxaloacetate transaminase patterns were the same for all lines. Some differences were observed for acid phosphatase, peroxidase and esterase patterns, but complete discrimination of the six selected lines was not possible on the basis of isoenzyme patterns alone. Using polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (PAGE) of dissociated 0.1 M acetic acid soluble proteins at pH 3.1 (acid-PAGE), or sodium dodecyl sulphate PAGE (SDS-PAGE) of residual protein extracts, all but one pair of samples in each case could be distinguished from the other samples. Using both techniques all of the lines could be identified unequivocally.     

The effect of introgressions of wheat D-genome chromosomes into 'Presto' triticale

Hexaploid triticale (X Triticosecale Wittmack) (2n= 6x= 42, AABBRR) and wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) (2n= 6x= 42, AABBDD) differ in their R and D-genomes. This produces differences in both agronomic and end-use quality characteristics. Our objective was to determine how introgressions of individual chromosomes from the D-genome of wheat affect these characteristics of a winter triticale 'Presto'. We studied the effects of 18 D-genome chromosome substitution lines, 15 sib-lines as controls, and five check cultivars at Lincoln, NE in 1996, using a randomized complete block design with two replications. The experiment was repeated at Lincoln and Mead, NE in 1997 and 1998 with 15 substitution lines that survived the first winter in Lincoln, along with their 12 control sibs and five check cultivars. Few D-genome chromosomes had positive effects. Chromosomes 2D, 4D, and 6D significantly reduced plant height when substituted for 2R, 4B, and 6R, respectively. No grain yield increases were associated with any of the D-genome chromosomes tested, but three substitutions decreased the grain yield. Depending on the allele of the hardness gene present, chromosome 5D increased or decreased kernel hardness when substituted for 5R or 5A, respectively. Introgressions of chromosomes 1D and 6D improved end-use quality characteristics of Presto. These results suggest that apart from beneficial effects of individual loci located on the D-genome chromosomes, no major benefit can be expected from D-genome chromosome substitutions.
