不同栽培类型蓝莓遗传多样性的SSR分析

以南方地区的蓝莓品种为主要对象,利用SSR标记分析现有品种种质的遗传多样性。设计合成了56对蓝莓SSR分子标记引物,进行扩增和多态性引物筛选,将多态性好的引物用于66份蓝莓不同类型种质的遗传多样性分析。结果表明,56对引物均能扩增出预期大小条带,其中条带清晰多态性较好的引物为25对,占比引物数的44.64%,多数引物扩增的位点数在5~7个之间。25对引物在66份蓝莓供试种质中检测多态性,共检测到165个等位变异,平均每个位点有6.6个等位变异,PIC值变幅为0.656~0.947,平均值为0.777。多态性最好的引物Vc26可以检测到15个等位基因数目。北方高丛、南方高丛和兔眼类型66份蓝莓种质的遗传相似系数位于0.60~0.96之间,品种间遗传差异较丰富。利用UPGMA聚类将3种类型种质进行分析,发现除了兔眼类型品种‘红粉佳人’外,其余明显分为3个类群,且同一类型的种质基本聚在一起。结合不同类型种质的系谱分析,发现分类与品种种质的遗传成分相似有一定的相关。研究利用SSR分子标记揭示了蓝莓不同类型种质的遗传多样性,对今后杂交育种亲本选择利用有一定借鉴意义。     

Stability comparison of three candidate internal reference genes in Chinese giant salamander (Andrias davidianus)

The Chinese giant salamander (Andrias davidianus) as food and medicinal product has been an important aquaculture object in China. Study of gene function in the Chinese giant salamander requires accurate normalization though the use of appropriate reference genes. In this study, the expression levels of three candidate reference genes including β‐actin, GAPDH and cytb of different tissues, different developmental stages and different challenges in Chinese giant salamander were evaluated by qPCR. The stabilities of these three reference genes were analysed by geNorm, NormFinder and BestKeeper software. The results showed that the expression of GAPDH was more stable than that of β‐actin and cytb in four tissues and at two developmental stages of Chinese giant salamander. Compared with GAPDH and cytb, β‐actin was the most stable in spleen of Chinese giant salamander treated with LPS or GSIV. Therefore, the result showed that GAPDH was the suitable reference gene in different tissues and at different developmental stages of Chinese giant salamander. The β‐actin could be used as a reference gene in spleen of Chinese giant salamander challenged with LPS and GSIV. This study provides convincing information for the GAPDH and β‐actin as suitable reference gene in Chinese giant salamander of different tissues, different developmental stages and different challenges respectively.     

Assessing the sublethal impacts of anthropogenic stressors on fish: An energy‐budget approach

Fish are increasingly exposed to anthropogenic stressors from human developments and activities such as agriculture, urbanization, pollution and fishing. Lethal impacts of these stressors have been studied but the potential sublethal impacts, such as behavioural changes or reduced growth and reproduction, have often been overlooked. Unlike mortality, sublethal impacts are broad and difficult to quantify experimentally. As a result, sublethal impacts are often ignored in regulatory frameworks and management decisions. Building on established fish bioenergetic models, we present a general method for using the population consequences of disturbance framework to investigate how stressors influence ecologically relevant life processes of fish. We partition impact into the initial energetic cost of attempts to escape from the stressor, followed by the energetic impacts of any injury or behavioural change, and their consequent effects on life processes. As a case study, we assess the sublethal effects of catch and release angling for the European sea bass (Dicentrachus labrax, Moronidae), a popular target species for recreational fishers. The energy budget model described is not intended to replace existing experimental approaches but does provide a simple way to account for sublethal impacts in assessment of the impact of recreational fisheries and aid development of robust management approaches. There is potential to apply our energy budget approach to investigate a broad range of stressors and cumulative impacts for many fish species while also using individual‐based models to estimate population‐level impacts.

白背飞虱酚氧化酶原PPO基因特性及其免疫应答

【目的】酚氧化酶（phenoloxidase,PO）是昆虫体内的免疫蛋白,在昆虫体内起重要的调节作用,主要以无活性的酚氧化酶原（prophenoloxidase,PPO）形式存在。本研究在转录组测序获得白背飞虱（Sogatella furcifera）3条PPO序列的基础上,通过分析白背飞虱体内不同SfPPO的发育和组织表达模式,并进一步抑制SfPPO的表达以及病原菌诱导,探讨SfPPO在白背飞虱体内的生物学功能。【方法】以白背飞虱3条SfPPO序列为研究对象,利用生物信息学方法分析其蛋白结构以及与其他昆虫之间的同源性。并以注射绿色荧光蛋白（green fluorescent protein,GFP）的dsRNA作为对照组,通过注射合成的dsSfPPO后采用实时荧光定量PCR（qRT-PCR）检测基因表达抑制效果;此外,为了探究SfPPO在白背飞虱生长发育和免疫应答方面的作用,利用qRT-PCR检测SfPPO在不同发育阶段及组织中的表达情况,以及注射大肠杆菌（Escherichia coli）和枯草芽孢杆菌（Bacillus subtilis）后3个SfPPO的诱导表达情况。【结果】SfPPO1、SfPPO2-1、SfPPO2-2的开放阅读框长度分别为2 079、999、2 070 bp,分别编码692、332、689个氨基酸,预测蛋白分子量分别为79.84、37.67、79.53 kD,等电点分别为6.43、9.56、6.20。生物信息学分析表明,白背飞虱的3个PPO蛋白具有较高的同源性,且与褐飞虱（Nilaparvata lugens）的亲缘关系最近;SfPPO1、SfPPO2-1、SfPPO2-2均在成虫第3天表达量最高,其中SfPPO2-1和SfPPO2-2的发育表达模式相似;SfPPO1和SfPPO2-1在表皮和脂肪体内表达量较高,而SfPPO2-2在翅和脂肪体内表达量较高,在头、足、中肠、马氏管中表达量相对较低;与注射dsGFP组相比,注射靶标基因的dsRNA后都能够显著沉默目的基因的表达,而且当SfPPO2-1表达被沉默后,SfPPO1出现显著高表达,说明不同的PPO之间可能具有补偿功能;大肠杆菌诱导后12 h,SfPPO2-1和SfPPO2-2表达量显著升高,SfPPO1表达量则在诱导24 h后显著升高;枯草芽胞杆菌诱导24 h后,SfPPO1、SfPPO2-1和SfPPO2-2表达量均显著升高。【结论】SfPPO1、SfPPO2-1、SfPPO2-2的表达存在组织和龄期特异性,且在不同菌诱导情况下存在免疫应答差异性。研究结果有助于更加全面、深入地探索白背飞虱酚氧化酶在调控昆虫发育及免疫中的潜在分子机理。     

稻田转为菜地初始阶段温室气体排放特征

【目的】近年来,随着我国社会经济的快速发展和人们生活水平的提高及膳食结构的改善,越来越多的稻田被转为蔬菜种植,影响了土壤碳氮转化过程及其引起的温室气体排放。因此有必要探究稻田转为蔬菜种植,特别是该土地利用方式转变初始阶段的温室气体（CH₄和N₂O）排放特征及其关键影响因素。【方法】试验选取了长期种植水稻的双季稻田,将其中一部分转为蔬菜种植,另一部分继续种植水稻,每个处理设置了3个重复,按照当地常规模式进行管理。采用静态暗箱—气相色谱法连续3年进行田间原位观测,比较分析稻田和由稻田转变的菜地CH₄和N₂O排放特征及其年际变化差异,明确稻田转为菜地初始阶段CH₄和N₂O排放的关键影响因素。【结果】稻田是重要的CH₄排放源,其第一年的排放强度（183.91 kg CH₄-C·hm^-2?a^-1）明显低于后续两年（241.56—371.50 kg CH₄-C·hm^-2?a^-1）,这主要归功于后两年降雨量的增加引起了土壤水分含量的升高。稻田转为菜地显著减少了CH₄排放,减少量相当于稻田CH₄年累积排放量的83%—100%。菜地第一年的CH₄累积排放量（31.22 kg CH₄-C·hm^-2）显著高于第二年（0.45 kg CH₄-C·hm^-2）和第三年（0.89 kg CH₄-C·hm^-2）,表明稻田转菜地对CH₄排放的影响具有时间滞后效应。稻田是弱的N₂O排放源（1.35—3.49 kg N₂O-N·hm^-2?a^-1）,其转为菜地显著增强了N₂O排放。菜地第一年的N₂O累积排放量（95.12 kg N₂O-N·hm^-2）显著高于第二年（38.28 kg N₂O-N?hm^-2）和第三年（40.07 kg N₂O-N·hm^-2）。菜地土壤异养呼吸对N₂O排放的影响在第一年明显高于第二、三年,表明稻田转为蔬菜种植的第一年,有机质矿化对N₂O排放有重要贡献。在100年尺度CO₂当量下,稻田转为蔬菜种植第一和第二年的综合增温潜势（GWP）相对于稻田分别显著增加了390%和98%,主要是由于增加的N₂O增温潜势超过了减少的CH₄增温潜势。但是,稻田转为菜地的第三年,菜地的GWP（(16.72±3.25) Mg CO₂-eq·hm^-2）与稻田（(14.84±1.39) Mg CO₂-eq·hm^-2）相比无显著差异,主要是由于减少的CH₄ 增温潜势完全抵消了增加的N₂O增温潜势。这些研究结果表明稻田转菜地对GWP的影响主要集中在该土地利用方式转变的第一年。【结论】稻田转为菜地显著减少了CH₄排放,增加了N₂O排放,增强了菜地第一和第二年的综合增温潜势。有机质矿化过程对新转菜地第一年较高的N₂O排放有重要贡献。这些研究结果表明了评价土地利用方式转变初始阶段温室气体排放特征的重要性,便于及时采取有效管理措施缓解温室气体排放,实现环境友好型农业可持续生产。     

Recent progress in analytical method development to ensure the safety of gluten-free foods for celiac disease patients

As laid down by the Codex Alimentarius, products bearing a gluten-free label must not contain gluten levels above 20 mg/kg to be safe for consumption by celiac disease patients. Analytical methods to detect gluten from wheat, rye and barley need to be sufficiently sensitive, specific, suitable for routine analyses and validated by collaborative studies. With continuous progress in the field of gluten analysis, the aim of this paper is to provide an up-to-date overview of legislation regarding gluten-free products worldwide, as well as immunochemical, proteomics-based, genomics-based and other methods designed to analyse gluten traces. While ELISA test kits and PCR are still most widely used in quality control, liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) is gaining more and more importance by providing unprecedented insights into gluten. Several other methods such as immunosensors, other sensors and microarrays are being developed. The pro's and con's of the different methods are discussed as well as the remaining challenges, including the need for improved extraction procedures, comprehensive reference materials and independent reference methods.

20个甘蔗品种（系）的抗旱性比较

干旱是限制我国甘蔗产量提高的主要原因。采用桶栽和人工控水的方法,对云南省甘蔗主产区临沧市选取的20个甘蔗品种（系）进行抗旱性分析,通过测定苗期和分蘖期的8个抗逆生理指标,以及分蘖率、成活率和株高3个生长指标,采用模糊隶属函数、主成分分析和系统聚类分析方法对各甘蔗品种（系）的抗旱性进行综合评价。结果表明,干旱胁迫后,甘蔗叶片相对含水量、叶绿素含量、甘蔗分蘖率、株高和成活率呈下降趋势,而甘蔗叶片丙二醛、脯氨酸和可溶性糖含量、质膜透性、SOD和POD酶活性则呈上升趋势。通过模糊隶属函数、主成分分析和系统聚类分析可将20份甘蔗品种（系）材料分为3类,其中7个为抗旱品种（系）,6个为中等抗旱品种（系）,7个为不抗旱品种（系）;根据抗旱综合值,7个抗旱品种（系）的抗旱能力排名为：‘桂糖06-2081’>‘柳城05-136’>‘福农38’>‘柳城03-1137’>‘德蔗03-83’>‘云蔗05-49’>‘福农40’。相关分析表明,与甘蔗抗旱性呈显著正相关的指标分别为成活率、株高和叶片相对含水量,呈显著负相关的指标分别为质膜透性、脯氨酸和可溶性糖含量。     

黄蝉花素抑制斜纹夜蛾生长发育作用

室内测定了黄蝉花素对斜纹夜蛾幼虫的抑制生长发育活性。结果表明,黄蝉花素对斜纹夜蛾幼虫的抑制生长发育活性与其处理浓度具有一定的相关性。与对照相比,处理组食物消耗量减少,幼虫生长发育被抑制,发育历期延长。处理组幼虫在蛹期不能正常化蛹而形成畸形蛹,羽化后的成虫表现为形态畸形。在预蛹期和蛹期由于不能正常蜕皮导致死亡率较高。研究显示黄蝉花素作为一类新型的昆虫生长发育控制剂或害虫田间种群管理的先导化合物值得进一步研究。
