Identification and molecular characterization of border disease virus (BDV) from sheep in India

Pestiviruses isolated from sheep and goats in India thus far have been bovine viral diarrhoea virus 1 (BVDV-1) or BVDV-2. During routine genetic typing of pestiviruses in the years 2009-10, border disease virus (BDV) was detected in eight Indian sheep of a flock showing clinical signs of BD by real time RT-PCR. All the samples yielded positive virus isolates in cell culture but were found negative by a BVDV antigen ELISA. A representative BDV isolate was characterized at genetic and antigenic level. Phylogenetic analysis carried out in 5′-UTR, N^pro and E2 regions of genome typed the Indian BDV isolate as BDV-3. A more detailed analysis in N^pro and entire region coding structural proteins showed that the N^pro (168), C (100 aa), E^rns (227 aa), E1 (195 aa) and E2 (373 aa) proteins were of size characteristic for BDV reference strain X818. Antigenic differences were evident between the BDV-3 isolate and previously reported BDV-1, BDV-5 and BDV-7 strains. Although origin of BDV-3 in India is not clear, the results reflect probable introduction through trade in sheep between India and other countries or BDV-3 may be more widely distributed. Additionally, this study suggests that for diagnosis of BDV infection, the commercial BVDV Ag-ELISA should be used with caution. This is the first identification of BDV in sheep in India which highlights the need for continued pestivirus surveillance and assessing its impact on sheep and goat production.     

燃料组分和分子结构对NO_x生成的影响

生物柴油的主要组分含有不饱和双键,分子碳链较长,含氧量在10%左右,这些特殊的燃料组分和分子结构对NOx的形成有重要影响。为了探讨燃料组分和结构对NOx排放的影响规律,运用Chemkin软件中的闭式均相反应器模型,模拟了元素组成相同或相近、分子结构类似的若干组物质NOx的生成,考察了饱和程度、碳链长度、含氧量对NO,NO2生成和燃烧温度的影响。研究结果表明,双键数量越多,燃烧温度升高,NOx的生成速率越快,NOx的生成量越大;较长的碳链在一定程度上能抑制NOx的生成;较高的含氧量能促进燃烧温度的升高,导致NOx生成量增大。     

流体性质对刮膜式分子蒸馏器上液膜形态的影响

利用高速摄像机对刮膜式分子蒸馏器壁面上的液膜形态进行了研究,实验发现随着进料率和转速的增加,不同物料在蒸发壁面上主要存在4种流动形态：液滴状、股状、不连续液膜和连续均匀液膜,同时测得水、乙醇、质量分数为12%乙二醇溶液、质量分数为50%乙二醇溶液和质量分数为50%丙三醇溶液在不同转速下出现连续均匀薄膜的临界流率。利用高斯过程进行数据预测表明：在一定转速下,临界流率随表面张力的增大而增大,随粘度的增大而减小。     

Vine-1 retrotransposon-based sequence-specific amplified polymorphism for Vitis vinifera L. genotyping

The sequence‐specific amplification polymorphism (S‐SAP) method, derived from the amplified fragment length polymorphism (AFLP) technique, produces amplified fragments containing retrotransposon long terminal repeat ( LTR ) sequence at one end and a host restriction site at the other. The development and application of this procedure to the LTR of the Vine‐1 element from grapevine is reported. Two primers derived from one of the LTR sequences flanking the retrotransposon were used in combination with MseI degenerated primers on 15 grapevine accessions. S‐SAP results were compared with AFLP data. The heterozygosity and gene diversity values were higher for S‐SAP than for the AFLP procedure. Results show that S‐SAP amplification is effective in identifying polymorphisms and defining genetic distances among cultivars, and could be used for fingerprinting and for ‘Traminer’ clone identification. To the contrary Vine‐1 retrotransposon‐based S‐SAP was not able to distinguish ‘Pinot’ clones.

本研究以134份陆地棉栽培种为试验材料,测定其在0.3%盐浓度(质量分数)下的出苗率,并使用74对SSR引物对这些材料进行基因组变异扫描。利用Structure2.3.4软件分析该自然群体的遗传结构,在此基础上采用Tassel2.1软件对耐盐性状与SSR分子标记进行关联分析,寻找与棉花耐盐性状相关的分子标记。研究结果表明:(1)134份陆地棉栽培种的出苗率呈极显著差异,并筛选出27个盐敏感材料和10个耐盐材料。(2)74个SSR分子标记共检测出148个多态性位点,涉及246个等位变异,变异范围为2~7,平均每个标记3.32个;基因多样性指数变异范围为0.0295~0.4959,平均值为0.2897;SSR分子标记多态性信息含量(PIC)变幅为0.0290~0.3729,平均值为0.2381。(3)通过群体结构分析,将该自然群体划分2个亚群体,分别包含89份和45份材料。(4)关联分析共发现8个与棉花耐盐性状相关的SSR分子标记位点,表型变异解释率变幅为2.91%~7.82%,平均值为4.32%。此研究结果可以为棉花耐盐性状分子标记辅助选择育种提供参考。     

植物K+吸收转运的分子机制研究进展

K 在植物的生命活动中发挥着十分重要的作用。植物对K 的吸收,可分为高亲和吸收与低亲和吸收两个组分。在分子水平上,高亲和吸收主要由KUP/HAK/KT及HKT家族的K 转运蛋白来承担;而Shaker、KCO等家族的K 通道蛋白,则主要在植物的低亲和吸收中发挥重要作用。在高等植物K 吸收转运的分子机制的研究中,KAT1及AKT1是两个最先克隆出来的K 通道基因。植物中最先克隆出来的高亲和K 转运体基因,是小麦的HKT1。在棉花的生长发育过程中,K 的作用十分关键。棉花的K 转运蛋白GhKT1在棉纤维的发育中至关重要。综述了高等植物K 吸收运转及调节的分子机制研究方面的最新进展,并对研究的前景进行了展望。     

Italian rice varieties: historical data, molecular markers and pedigrees to reveal their genetic relationships

Two molecular marker approaches [amplified fragment length polymorphism (AFLP) and simple sequence repeat (SSR)] were employed to study genomic relationship among 96 rice cultivars. These included most of the best reputed Italian accessions. AFLP produced 461 fragments, 248 (53%) of which were polymorphic, SSR produced four to 11 alleles in the 12 genomic loci investigated. Genomic similarity was estimated independently for the two molecular marker techniques. Both AFLP and SSR dendrograms agree in splitting the cultivars into two main clusters: a small one, comprising four exotic accessions, and a larger one which could be split into four subgroups. These were also analysed on the basis of historical and pedigree information. This is the first report on the application of DNA polymorphism analysis to reveal genomic relationship among cultivated Italian rice germplasm. Results will be useful for breeding programmes.     

AFLP analysis of genetic diversity within and between populations of perennial ryegrass (Lolium perenne L.)

Amplified fragment length polymorphism (AFLP) analysis has been used to measure genetic diversity in perennial ryegrass (Lolium perenne L.) and to relate intra- and interpopulation variation to breeding history. Cluster analysis of AFLP data from contrasting populations showed features consistent with the origins of these varieties. Significant differences in intrapopulation diversity were detected and partial separation of different cultivars was observed. Restricted base cultivars, derived from small numbers of foundation clones, were suitable for this type of study, allowing near complete discrimination of closely related cultivars. Analysis of bulked samples was based on the pooling of genomic DNA from 20 individuals from 6 selected populations. Cluster analysis of AFLP data from bulked samples produced a phenogram showing relationships consistent with the results of individual analysis. AFLP profiling provides an important tool for the detection and quantification of genetic variation in perennial ryegrass.
