The effects of Agrobacterium pRiA4 rol and aux genes, controlled by their endogenous promoters, on tree growth and wood anatomy and chemistry were studied in 5- and 7-year-old silver birch (Betula pendula Roth) plants. Southern hybridization confirmed the following rol and aux gene combinations: control plants (no genes transferred); plants with rolC and rolD genes; plants with rolA, rolB, rolC and rolD genes; and plants with rolA, rolB, rolC, rolD, aux1 and aux2 genes. Transgene mRNA was most abundant in phloem/cambium samples and in the developing xylem, whereas no expression was detected in leaves. Plants with rolC and rolD genes or with all the rol genes were significantly shorter and had smaller leaves and a more bushy growth habit than control plants or plants with both aux and rol genes. Morphological observations and wood chemistry analyses revealed that plants with rol genes produced less xylem and broke bud later than control plants or plants with both aux and rol genes. Tension wood was detected in both control and transgenic plants irrespective of their gene combination, probably as a result of greenhouse cultivation. Xylem fibers were shorter in transgenic plants than in control plants, and plants with all the rol genes were characterized by shorter vessels compared with the control plants and a smaller proportional area of vessels compared with the other groups. In addition, silver birch plants with all the rol genes had approximately a 3.3% lower concentration of total acid soluble carbohydrates than control plants. We conclude that the rolC and rolD genes induced the typical "rol-phenotype," and that this was emphasized by concomitant expression of the rolA and rolB genes and alleviated by the presence of aux1 and aux2 genes. We observed consistent phenotypic effects of rol and aux genes on the morphology, anatomy and cell wall chemistry of the plants. 相似文献

The pine nematode Bursaphelenchus mucronatus has been associated with pine wilt in China. This work was intended to investigate the role of the pathogenicity‐related β‐1,4‐endoglucanase gene of B. mucronatus in the infection of pines. In this study, the full‐length cDNA of the Bm‐eng‐1 gene was cloned and characterized from a B. mucronatus isolate. Phylogenetic analysis suggested that the Bm‐eng‐1 gene of B. mucronatus may be acquired from fungi through horizontal gene transfer. The function of the gene was demonstrated using RNA interference. RNA interference indicated that Bm‐eng‐1 was involved in the dispersal, reproductive ability and pathogenicity of B. mucronatus. In situ hybridization showed that Bm‐eng‐1 was specifically expressed in the oesophageal gland of B. mucronatus. Furthermore, to investigate the relation between β‐1,4‐endoglucanase activities and virulence of different isolates, the β‐1,4‐endoglucanase activities and the expression levels of Bm‐eng‐1 were detected in six B. mucronatus isolates with different virulence. β‐1,4‐Endoglucanase activity was generally higher in pathogenic isolates than in non‐pathogenic isolates, and the Bm‐eng‐1 expression levels in different isolates were positively correlated with the β‐1,4‐endoglucanase activity. These findings suggested that β‐1,4‐endoglucanase plays important roles in the pathogenic process of B. mucronatus, and the differential expression of the gene may underlie the different activity levels of β‐1,4‐endoglucanase, subsequently influencing variations in virulence of B. mucronatus isolates. 相似文献

PMI/甘露糖筛选体系在植物转基因中的应用 总被引:4,自引:0,他引:4
介绍了一种可在植物转基因中应用的新型筛选方法———磷酸甘露糖异构酶(PMI)法,与传统筛选体系不同,它以甘露糖为筛选剂对转化细胞进行正筛选。PMI能将甘露糖- 6 -磷酸转化成果糖- 6 -磷酸,使转化细胞以甘露糖为唯一或主要碳源而正常生长;非转化细胞由于不能利用甘露糖而停止生长。该筛选体系受基因型、培养基中其他糖和磷酸根离子浓度及培养条件等因素的影响。目前已应用于多种模式植物和经济作物的转基因筛选,在木本植物甜橙上也首获成功。其检测方法多样,除了常规转基因检测方法外,还可对酶活性进行检测,其中氯酚红法简单可靠,且无需昂贵试剂。安全评估结果表明PMI基因对人体健康和环境无害。PMI/甘露糖筛选体系有望成为植物转基因的又一有效筛选手段。 相似文献

Carbohydraseproduction of Hypsizygus marmoreus cultured on sawdust rice bran medium by bottle cultivation was investigated to elucidate the carbohydrase utilized as the growth substrate for the fruit-body formation of this fungus. Among the extracellular enzymes assayed, xylanase showed the highest activity. This activity greatly increased during the end of vegetative mycelial growth and fruit-body formation. Among the cellulases. CM-cellulase showed higher activity than avicelase. The activities of -1,3-glucanase, amylase, and chitinase were low. Among the intracellular enzymes, both xylanase and amylase showed higher activity levels than the other carbohydrases. In contrast, -1,3-glucanase, avicelase, and chitinase activities in mycelia were considerably lower. These results suggest that xylanase, CM-cellulase, and amylase play an important role in mycelial maturation and fruit-body growth of H. marmoreus. 相似文献

American ginseng (Panax quinquefolium) is a medicinal crop which provides tens of millions of dollars in income every year
for Canadian farmers. Most of the ginseng roots are produced in open fields under expensive shade structures. Farmers need
to plant ginseng at a very high density to achieve profitability. Since high planting densities are related to high disease
levels, field-cultivated ginseng requires frequent applications of pesticide. Growing ginseng in forests eliminates the need
of a shade structure and may reduce the need for pesticides. Thus, an experiment was performed in a maple (Acer rubrum) forest
in Québec to evaluate the effects of nutrient inputs such as lime or compost on ginseng development. Ginseng emergence and
survival rates, leaf area and foliar and root weight were evaluated for each treatment. Soil samples were taken in each plot
to determine the concentration of various soil nutrients. During the first two years of the experiment, it was noted that
the application of lime had a significative positive effect on ginseng growth. This effect could be related to higher calcium
concentration and/or lower aluminium toxicity. Liming would be an efficient way to improve the early development of ginseng
in maple forests. This practice is also known to improve the health of maple stands.

Ginseng is the root of the perennial herbs of Panax quinquefolium and Panax ginseng which contain a series of tetracyclic triterpenoid saponins (ginsenosides) as active ingredients. It is considered a tonic or adaptogenic that enhances physical performance (including sexual), promotes vitality and increases resistance to stress and ageing. The adaptogenic properties of ginseng are believed to be due to its effects on hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis, resulting in elevated plasma corticotropin and corticosteroids levels. When used appropriately, ginseng appears to be safe. Nevertheless, documented side effects include hypertension, diarrhoea, restlessness, mastalgia and vaginal bleeding. 相似文献

1,2-Dihydroxyanthraquinone (1) was isolated from the seed of Cassia obtusifolia through bioassay-guided fractionation. 1,2-Dihydroxyanthraquinone strongly inhibited the growth of Clostridium perfringens and Escherichia coli. Structure-activity relationship revealed that 1,4-dihydroxyanthraquinone (2) and 1,8-dihydroxyanthraquinone (3) had strong growth-inhibition against C. perfringens. In growth-promoting activity, 1,2-, 1,4-, and 1,8-dihydroxyanthraquinones exhibited strong growth-promoting activity to Bifidobacterium bifidum. 相似文献

Antioxidants have been considered as a useful remedy in diabetes therapeutics, and thus, herbal medicines with antioxidant properties may play major role in treating diabetes. In this report, we performed a comparative study using American ginseng and Scutellaria baicalensis to test whether the anti-diabetic effect of American ginseng is associated with its antioxidant activity. We used a simple water extraction procedure to prepare American ginseng root extract (AGE) and S. baicalensis extract (SbE), and utilized these two antioxidant herbs to evaluate their anti-diabetic effect in obese diabetic ob/ob mice. HPLC analysis was used to identify major constituents in the AGE and SbE. After 12 days of daily intraperitoneal injection, AGE at 300 mg/kg showed significant effects on fasting blood glucose levels (P < 0.01) and glucose tolerance test (P < 0.01) compared to vehicle-treated mice. Animal body weights also reduced significantly after 12-day treatment (P < 0.01). However, SbE, a very strong antioxidant extract, administered at 5–50 mg/kg (based on our previous studies without adverse events) for 12 days did not show any significant effects on blood glucose and body weight changes. No effects were shown when baicalein, an effective antioxidant constituent in SbE, was administered at 1–5 mg/kg. It appears that the anti-diabetic effect of American ginseng may not be linked to its antioxidant actions. The mechanisms of American ginseng's effects on reducing high blood glucose levels and body weight remain to be investigated in future experiments. 相似文献

本文将来源于嗜热链球菌(S.thermophilus)的谷胱甘肽双功能合成酶基因(StGCS-GS)通过载体pETG-A10转入大肠杆菌中。在IPTG诱导后,表达产物通过凝胶电泳(SDS-PAGE)检测,重组后的融合蛋白His-GCS-GS用His-镍蛋白纯化柱纯化,SDS-PAGE和western blot检测纯化效果,鉴定表达产物。检测结果与预期一致。为了研究StGCS-GS基因的表达对大肠杆菌在重金属胁迫下的抗性作用,实验对转化大肠杆菌进行不同浓度Cd2+、Ni2+、Cu2+胁迫的耐受性测试。结果发现,在1mM CdCl2、2mM NiSO4胁迫条件下,转化大肠杆菌的生长状态明显优于对照,但在Cu2+胁迫条件下,两者没有明显区别。表明StGCS-GS基因的表达能够提高大肠杆菌对Cd2+、Ni2+的抗性,在其逆境胁迫下的生长发挥重要作用。 相似文献
