玉米颗粒结合型淀粉合成酶(GBSS )基因cDNA的克隆及植物表达载体的构建

根据已发表的玉米颗粒结合型淀粉合成酶GBSS（granule-bound starch synthase）基因序列,设计两对引物,其中一对为定点突变的过度引物。从授粉后15d的玉米胚乳中提取总RNA,以反转录合成的cDNA第一链为模板,首次用定点突变、RT-PCR、融合PCR的方法克隆了GBSS 基因的全长cDNA（1818bp）片段。序列测定表明,该片段与文献报道的序列具有99.72％的同源性。并构建了以胚乳特异表达性的Gt1为启动子,以NOS-ter为终止子的植物表达载体pBI-Gt1-GBSS,其含有NPT‖选择标记基因。以期实现特定时期GBSS基因在玉米胚乳中的大量表达。

Multivariate analysis and genetic diversity for morphometric and root textural quality traits in ashwagandha (Withania somnifera Dunal)

Ashwagandha (Withania somnifera) is an important medicinal plant and its dried roots are used in traditional systems of medicine. The market price of roots is determined by physical (textural) quality. Brittle roots with high starch and low fiber are considered to be superior because of ease in grinding. Genetic diversity studies based on root textural parameters have not been done so far. So the present study was designed to assess genetic diversity for morphometric traits and root textural quality parameters among two morphologically distinct groups: Poshita and Nagore. The PCA separated the morphometric and root texture variables distinctly into two different principal components: PC-1 and PC-2 respectively, indicating that both are negatively associated. All the morphotypes in Poshita group showed high positive loadings in PC-1 indicating that component genotypes are high root yielding. Nagore morphotypes were low yielding but the root texture was good. Clustering of morphotypes grouped Poshita and Nagore separately with high inter-cluster distances indicating that both groups are highly divergent from each other, suggesting that there is sufficient scope for varietal improvement through hybridization.     

Late nitrogen fertilization affects carbohydrate mobilization in wheat

An experiment was carried out to determine how the late application of nitrogen (N) fertilizer affects the use of pre‐anthesis carbon reserves during the grain‐filling period of pot‐grown wheat with no water shortage. Increasing doses (equivalent to 0, 140, and 180 kg N ha^–1) of N fertilizer were applied, either in two amendments (stages GS20 and GS30) or in three amendments (stages GS20, GS30, and GS37, according to Zadoks scale). The management of fertilizer by combining an increased N rate with late N application was able to stimulate canopy development, to raise photosynthetic capacity and carbohydrate accumulation during the vegetative stages, and to increase grain yield. Based on the dynamics of carbohydrate accumulation in the ear, three phases were differentiated during the grain‐filling period, whose temporary pattern remained stable regardless of the fertilizer management. The net remobilization of carbohydrates started 12 d after anthesis from the leaves and 28 d after anthesis from roots and stems. The increase of the N dose with late N application allowed on one hand a lower use of the pre‐anthesis carbon reserves in favor of greater de novo photosynthesis during the grain‐filling period, and on the other hand greater relative contribution of the leaf and ear C reserves to remobilization towards the grain. Further splitting the dose increased only the relative contribution of ear C reserves. The stem contribution seemed to be independent of N applied whereas the root contribution tended to diminish with late N application.     

GA_3处理对天女木兰种子解除休眠过程中碳水化合物含量的影响

研究了GA3对天女木兰种子在变温层积条件下解除休眠过程中碳水化合物的影响,以此探讨外源赤霉素(GA3)对层积过程中天女木兰种子解除休眠的作用机理。结果表明,1000mg/LGA3水溶液处理极显著促进天女木兰种子萌发,在整个层积过程中,GA3水溶液处理诱导淀粉含量下降;蔗糖含量变化剧烈,在层积90d降至最低,果糖和葡萄糖含量显著增加;在层积后期(90～120d)果糖和葡萄糖含量下降,蔗糖含量上升,从而说明了碳水化合物参与并调节了天女木兰种子休眠解除这一过程。

以2年生华北落叶松和白杆幼苗为研究对象，通过人工控制条件下的幼苗栽培试验，测定不同光照、水分条件下脯氨酸含量、淀粉含量的变化，综合比较分析了华北落叶松和白析苗期生长对光照和水分变化的生理响应。研究结果表明：随着土壤水分的减少，华北落叶松和白不工幼苗脯氨酸含量增高，淀粉含量下降，且华北落叶松的变化都高于白杆，华北落叶松幼苗比白析幼苗对土壤水分胁迫的响应能力更强；随着光照的增强，也有相同的表现。光照和水分条件的变化对华北落叶松和白析幼苗脯氨酸和淀粉含量的影响具有叠加作用，2个树种对水分胁迫和强光照的响应机制一致，但树种间响应强度不同，华北落叶松的响应能力更强，华北落叶松具有比白术千更大的抗干旱胁迫的生理基础。
