我国饲料型四倍体刺槐研究进展

四倍体刺槐Robinia pseudoacacia自1997年引入我国以来,国内学者对其主要进行了如下几个方面的研究:1)不同地域不同立地条件下的适应性、生物量及叶片营养含量,肯定了饲料型四倍体刺槐的引种价值。2)常规和微繁育苗技术:常规育苗技术中的插根和嫁接繁殖技术已经成熟,达到了规模化生产的要求;微繁技术已找到了愈伤组织诱导及其分化为苗的培养基组合和培养条件以及组培苗的适宜移栽方式。3)抗盐基因遗传转化:已成功地将甜菜碱醛脱氢酶基因(BADH)转入四倍体刺槐,得到了15个抗盐植株,抗盐植株对NaCl的相对抗性提高了2‰~3‰。从引种、造林、微体快繁技术和遗传转化4个方面综述了这些研究成果,并探讨了存在的问题及可能的解决方法。     

不同光周期条件下PhyB和ABA对不同苜蓿品种的秋眠性调控

短日照和低温是导致苜蓿秋眠的主要环境因子。本研究检测了3个不同秋眠型苜蓿在8,12和16 h光照光周期条件下叶片和顶芽中PhyB和ABA的含量,并探讨其对秋眠的影响机制。结果表明,1)和非秋眠苜蓿相比,秋眠苜蓿叶片中PhyB含量高,PhyB作为绿色植物主要光受体可能通过光周期调控或参与了苜蓿的秋眠;并且3个品种均是在8 h光照下PhyB合成量高,暗示长暗期利于其合成。2)和12,16 h光照相比,8 h处理顶芽和第一展开叶中ABA含量最高,显然短日照利于ABA的合成;8 h光照处理时,秋眠型苜蓿品种Vernal ABA含量分别比半秋眠型CW5 0 2和非秋眠型CUF1 0 1高2.1 2和2.0 3倍,1 2 h光照处理ABA含量Vernal比CW5 0 2和CUF1 0 1分别高3 6.2 4%和46.46%,但16 h光照处理ABA含量并不表现上述规律,说明8和12 h光照程度不同地为苜蓿创造了逆境效应,ABA可能是调控或诱导秋眠的激素。3)8 h光照下苜蓿秋眠特征明显,生长严重受抑,不开花;12 h光照下苜蓿秋眠特征比8 h光照处理轻,生长受抑但抑制程度低于8 h光照处理,不开花;16 h光照下3个品种生长、开花正常。可能是PhyB含量多寡程度不同地调控了光周期反应,进而影响了ABA合成,而ABA在不同光周期诱导下通过合成量不同调控了不同秋眠基因表达,诱发了秋眠。

Determination of reference intervals for metabolic profile of Hanwoo cows at early,middle and late gestation periods

Background

Metabolic profile was initially designed as a presymptomatic diagnostic aid based on statistical analyses of blood metabolites to provide an early warning of certain types of metabolic disorder. However, there is little metabolic profile data available about Korean Hanwoo cows. Therefore, this study aimed to determine the reference intervals of metabolic profile for Korean Hanwoo cows.

Methods

Healthy animals (2,205) were selected and divided into early (day 1 to 95), middle (day 96 to 190) and late (day 191 to 285) period according to their gestating period. Metabolic profile including total protein (TP), albumin (Alb), urea (UREA), glucose (Glu), total cholesterol (T-Cho), long-chain fatty acid (LCFA), aspartate aminotransferase (AST), gamma-glutamyl transpeptidase (GGT), creatinine (Crea), calcium (Ca), inorganic phosphorous (iP) and magnesium (Mg) were analyzed using a TBA-40FR automatic biochemical analyzer. The data of Korean Hanwoo cows were then compared to those of the Japanese Wagyu cows.

Results

Most of the data of the Korean Hanwoo cows were relatively higher than those of Japanese Wagyu cows, with the exception of Glu and GGT. This may indicate that the nutritional level of feed for the Korean Hanwoo cows was higher than that of the Japanese Wagyu cows because of the different feeding system. In particular, relatively higher levels of UREA and LCFA were observed in the Korean Hanwoo cows, and this may also contribute to the low reproduction efficiency.

Conclusions

These findings may provide some theoretical basis for understanding the reproductive and feeding situation of Korean Hanwoo cows.     

Downregulation of the expression of inhibin α subunit and betaglycan in porcine cystic follicles

Inhibins, as members of the transforming growth factor beta (TGF-β) superfamily, downregulate the synthesis and secretion of follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) in an endocrine manner. The role of inhibin/betaglycan in the ovary regulation recently gained attention. To date, no data exist on the function of inhibin α subunit and betaglycan in cystic follicles. In this study, the expressions of inhibin α subunit and betaglycan in cystic follicles were investigated using immunohistochemistry, real-time PCR and Western blot analysis. Both inhibin α subunit and betaglycan immunoreactivities were mainly localized in the granulosa cells of follicles. Expression of inhibin α subunit and betaglycan was inferior in cystic follicles compared with that in normal large follicles. However, the result of enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay showed no significant difference in the decreasing in concentration of inhibin α subunit in cystic follicular fluid compared with the control (P>0.05). In this study, we explored the effects of FSH on betaglycan expression in granulosa cells in vitro. As expected, a significant increase in the expressions of betaglycan mRNA and protein in granulosa cells was observed in response to exogenous FSH (30 ng/ml) (P<0.05) compared with the control. Consequently, this study provides evidence that the expressions of inhibin α subunit and betaglycan are inferior in cystic follicles, and this may be caused by the decrease in FSH in the presence of a cystic follicle.

柑橘胼胝质合成酶基因家族的表达分析

胼胝质由胼胝质合成酶合成,胼胝质沉积是植物对入侵病原的防御反应。为了探索胼胝质合成酶(Callose synthase,CalS)基因在柑橘中对黄龙病的应答情况,从甜橙基因组中筛选并利用生物信息学分析了柑橘胼胝质合成酶(CsCalS)家族的12个基因。这些基因编码的氨基酸序列与拟南芥中的胼胝质合成酶具有较高的同源性。荧光实时定量PCR结果显示,CsCalS5和CsCalS12在柑橘健康叶片中的表达量高于其他胼胝质合成酶基因。比较黄龙病感病材料和健康对照材料,发现CsCalS5、CsCalS7和CsCalS8在感病的‘砂糖橘’和‘强德勒’柚中均上调表达,可能参与柑橘对黄龙病病原的应答反应。
