日本落叶松在四川引种栽培的初步研究

报道了日本落叶松在四川20多年来的引种。栽培试验结果,证明引种是成功的。并进一步探讨了日本落叶松在四川各地的引种效果和树种生态适应性,提出了按四川自然地理分区和森林分区为基础的引种适生区划分标准。综合分析认为日本落叶松应成为四川省中山地带和高山峡谷区低海拔地带主要速生丰产造林树种之一。     

基因打靶备乳腺生物反应器研究进展

基因打靶技术是建立在胚胎干细胞和同源重组技术之上,可对基因组进行定点修饰的实验方法。用基因打靶技术制备乳腺生物反应器,克服了显微注射法的众多缺陷。本文简述了制备乳腺生物反应器过程中基因打靶的策略、靶细胞、打靶位点及国内外研究进展和展望等。     

家畜繁殖生物技术研究现状及趋势

牛胚胎移植技术已趋于成熟。我国新疆牧科院用一步细管法移植牛冻胚受胎率达41%;牛和羊鲜胚四分胚移植也产下1头犊牛和6只羔羊。家畜体外受精,因卵子体外成熟和受精卵体外培养尚不过关,目前仍停留在实验室阶段。胚胎性别鉴定,1990年Koopman发现单拷贝基因,该基因是Y染色体的性决定区,命名为SRY,可利用PCR技术制成雄性特异DNA探针盒,进行马、牛、羊、猪早期胚胎性别鉴定。北京农学院等单位用PCR扩增牛SRY序列进行奶牛胚胎性别鉴定准确率达100%。英、日、法等国已获得牛胚胎细胞核移植后代;我国也获得1只核移植兔。北农大和新疆牧科院合作以绵羊精子为载体导入牛生长激素基因rMTbGH DNA成功,外源基因整合率为3%。

国外紫花苜蓿引种栽培研究

引进美国、加拿大若干优良苜蓿品种，意在解决吉林省内苜蓿品种产草量偏低、种子质量差这一多年的问题，分别在吉林省长岭县、辽源市、四平市等立地条件及降水量不同的地带进行试验，选出最适宜在我省生长的WL232HQ，该品种的产量为国内主推品种的2．3倍。     

肉兔双列杂交遗传效应的分析

本试验采用了５品种完全双列杂交，用Ｈａｖｅｙ程序对德国花巨兔（Ｇ）、比利时兔（Ｂ）、新西兰白兔（Ｎ）、加利福尼亚兔（Ｃ）、丹麦白兔（Ｄ）的主要生产性能进行了遗传效应分析。首次采用加性——显性模型分析了优势杂交组合优势性状的基因效应值与杂种优势率的关系，对杂种优势机理作了一定探讨。结果表明：最佳杂交父本、母本分别为Ｇ（♂）或Ｎ（♂）、Ｎ（♀）；最优杂交组合为ＧＢ、ＮＧ。此外，ＧＮ、ＤＮ、ＧＣ、ＢＣ也不失为优秀组合     

家蚕第2隐性赤蚁的遗传学研究——Ⅱ.ch-2基因的连锁分析

Ch-2基因是继ch之后新发现的一种隐性赤蚁ch-2基因与pM(2)、Ze(3)、L(4)、Pe(5)、E~(EL)(6)、q(7)、st(8)、I(9)、w-2(10)、ms(12)、cf(13)、U(14)、Se(15)、cts(16)、B_m(17)、nb(19)、rb(21)、or(22)、sp(23)、Nd(25)、及Y_m等各标志基因都是独立遗传.Ch-2与mln杂交F_2代分离+ch-2+min:ch-2+min:ch-2mln:ch-2mln=523:284:231:0≈2:1:1:0;ch-2与elp杂交F_2代分离+ch-2+elf:ch-2+elp:+ch-2elp:ch-2elp=219:97:68:0≈2:1:1:0,充分说明ch-2与mln、elp是连锁遗传的,即ch-2基因位于第18连锁群.     

Molecular genetics of behaviour: research strategies and perspectives for animal production

Genetic factors are undoubtedly involved in inter-individual variability of the behaviours that may be important for livestock production, as shown by pedigree studies, comparison of genetic stocks raised in the same environment, and selection experiments. The knowledge of gene polymorphisms responsible for genetic variability would increase the efficiency of selection, as shown for instance by the identification of the ryanodine receptor gene that harbours the mutations responsible for the porcine stress syndrome, that allows the eradication of the susceptibility allele. One strategy is to screen systematically the genes that are known to be involved in regulation of behaviour (functional candidate genes). This strategy is however very difficult for most behavioural traits, since behaviour is an emerging function from the whole brain/body and the molecular pathways involved in genetic variability are very poorly understood. Another strategy is to investigate linkage between trait variation and genetic markers in a segregating population (usually an intercross or backcross between two strains or breeds contrasting for the trait under study). It allows the detection of genomic regions influencing that trait (quantitative trait loci or QTL), and further investigation aims at the identification of the gene(s) located in each of these regions and the molecular polymorphisms involved in phenotypic variation. Although many QTL have been published for behavioural traits in experimental animals, very few examples are available where strong candidate genes have been identified. Further progress will be very much dependent upon the careful definition of behavioural traits to be studied (including their importance for animal production), on the reliability of their measurement in a large number of animals and on the efficient mastering of environmental factors of variability. The fast increase in the knowledge of genome sequence in several species will undoubtedly facilitate the application to farm animal species of the knowledge obtained in model organisms, as well as the use of model organisms to explore candidate genes detected by QTL studies in farm animals.
