Overcoming hybridization barriers between pea and some of its wild relatives

Pea would benefit from the plasticity and adaptability of its cross-incompatible relatives Pisum fulvum and Lathyrus sativus L., and we have tested reciprocal sexual crossings by manually cross-pollinating plants of genotypes of these three species. Studies of in situ germination of pollen grains on stigmata showed that pollen tubes were generally unable to germinate or could not reach the ovary. A few putative hybrid pods were nevertheless harvested, with one grain per pod germinated in vitro, then micropropagated for flow cytometry, isoenzyme, molecular (ribosomal ITS PCR-RFLP) and genomic in situ hybridization (GISH) studies. One such grain was recovered from an inter-generic cross of P. sativum x L. sativus and four from an inter-specific P. sativum x P. fulvumcross. A strong cross-incompatibility was shown between pea and grass pea, where the putative hybrid turned out to be pea. Conversely, with the interspecific, P. sativum x P. fulvum cross, flow cytometry and isoenzymes with leaf tissues strongly suggested hybridity, while molecular approaches and GISH confirmed the production of inter-specific hybrids, and without the need for a wild type P. sativum accession as a bridging cross.     

水分胁迫对冬小麦旗叶细胞质膜及叶肉细胞超微结构的影响

随着水分胁迫程度的加剧，冬小麦叶的膜质过氧化物丙二醛的含量升高，膜脂 酸不饱和度降低，叶肉细胞内叶绿体、线粒体的形态、结构异常，甚至裂解，质膜内陷，胞液泡化，胞壁层次减少。表明土壤水分胁迫损害小麦旗叶细胞质膜及叶肉细胞的超微结构，加速衰老进程。     

玉米花药培养及再生植株倍性鉴定

对影响玉米花药培养的几个因素及再生植株的倍性鉴定的结果表明、基因型是影响玉米花培效果的重要因素,杂交种的花培效果好于不稳定系,不稳定系又好于自交系.N_6与正_(14)两种培养基都适于花药培养,但正_(14)培养基优于N_6培养基.特别是液体培养基效果更好.花药接种的适宜时期为单核中期和后期.单核后期又稍好于单核中期,单核早期的花药不能诱导愈伤组织.单倍体与二倍体花粉植株之间叶片气孔保卫细胞长度差异极显著,长度小于29μm的为单倍体.大于29μm的为二倍体或多倍体.鉴定的准确性可达到95%.因此可利用测量气孔保卫细胞长度的方法鉴定花粉植株的倍性.

Avian pathogenic Escherichia coli MT78 invades chicken fibroblasts

Avian pathogenic Escherichia coli (APEC) are responsible for extraintestinal diseases, called colibacillosis, in avian species. The most severe manifestation of the disease is colisepticemia that usually starts at the respiratory tract and may result in bird death. However, it is not yet clear how APEC cross the respiratory epithelium and get into the bloodstream. In this work, we studied the interaction between 8 APEC strains (UEL31, UEL17, UEL13, UEL29, MT78, IMT5155, IMT2470, A2363) and a chicken non-phagocytic cell, the fibroblast CEC-32 cell line. We investigated the association profile, the invasion capability, the cytotoxicity effect and the induction of caspase-3/7 activation in an attempt to understand the way the pathogen gains access to the host bloodstream. Association to cells was determined after 1 h of infection, while cell invasion was determined after 4 and 24 h of infection. The cytotoxic effect of bacterial infection was measured by lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) release and the activation of the apoptotic program was verified by caspase-3/7 activation. Also, the presence of genes for adhesins, invasins and other related virulence-associated factors was verified by PCR. All bacterial strains showed similarity in relation to adhesion, LDH release and caspase-3/7 activation. However, one APEC strain, MT78, showed high invasion capability, comparable to the invasive Salmonella typhimurium strain SL1344. Since an APEC strain was capable of invading non-phagocytic cells in vitro, the same may be happening with the epithelial cells of the avian respiratory tract in vivo. CEC-32 monolayers can also provide a useful experimental model to study the molecular mechanisms used by APEC to invade non-phagocytic cells.
