An inhibitor of polyamine biosynthesis — Difluoromethylornithine — and the polyamine spermidine for the control of gray mold(Botrytis Cinerea)

Difluoromethylornithine (DFMO) — an inhibitor of polyamine biosynthesis, and the polyamine spermidine (Spd) reduced gray mold of tomato, pepper, eggplant, bean andSenecio sp. leaves, and of rose petals by 37–88% when applied at 0.1–1.0 mM each. Higher doses did not result in better control. The disease was also reduced significantly on tomato fruits by 1.0 inM DFMO and by 0.1–1.0 mM Spd, and on cucumber fruits by 0.1–1.0 mM of both compounds, but not on grape berries. The combination of 0.2 mM DFMO with 1.0 mM Spd controlled gray mold ofSenecio sp. and tomato leaves additively better than either treatment alone, whereas this effect was not observed in leaves of lettuce and pepper. Ethylene production was reduced significantly by Spd applied to leaves of tomato and pepper, but not by DFMO. Linear growth and germination of the fungus were affected by lower concentrations of DFMO (ED50 0.12–0.97 and 1.4, respectively) as compared with Spd. Spermidine and DFMO controlled white mold(Sclerotinia sclerotiorum) as effectively as did the fungicide benomyl. Contribution from the Agricultural Research Organization.

多胺代谢相关基因在小鼠子宫内膜细胞中的调节

利用鸟氨酸脱羧酶(ODC)siRNA干涉、ODC过表达、添加特异性ODC抑制剂二氟甲基鸟氨酸(DFMO)处理小鼠子宫内膜上皮细胞和基质细胞,采用实时定量PCR对多胺代谢相关酶类mRNA水平进行检测。结果显示:在子宫内膜上皮和基质细胞中,ODC siRNA转染后可导致SSAT mRNA水平下降为对照组的71.78%和54.36%(P<0.01),SAMDC mRNA水平上升为对照组的1.666 6倍和3.036 6倍(P<0.01);ODC过表达造成SSAT水平为对照组的1.921 4和2.852 7倍(P<0.01),AZⅠmRNA水平为对照组的1.962 1和3.073 8倍(P<0.01);利用DFMO处理体外分离的上皮细胞和基质细胞,SSAT mRNA水平为对照组的1.626 7和1.773 3倍(P<0.01),SAMDC mRNA水平为对照组的1.630 0和1.730 0倍(P<0.01),AZⅠmRNA水平为对照组的71.00%和76.67%(P<0.01);DFMO处理后上皮细胞和基质细胞数目(31.00±3.00和43.67±7.51)和活力(0.26±0.03和0.36±0.05)都显著下...
