The aim of the present study was to examine the change in plasma insulin‐like growth factor‐1 (IGF‐1) concentration with early growth, changes of bodyweight (BW) and relative dairy gain (RDG) in the pre‐ (PRW) and postweaning periods (POW) in Japanese beef cattle, and relationships with metabolites. A total of 33 calves, 22 Japanese black, 6 Japanese shorthorn and 5 of their crossbreed were studied. Insulin‐like growth factor‐1 and metabolite (glucose, triacylglycerol, nonesterified fatty acid) levels in the plasma, from jugular vein blood taken every month, were measured along with BW. Insulin‐like growth factor‐1 in POW increased dramatically with increase of BW (P < 0.05), and the correlation was positive at 0.52 (P < 0.01). Glucose levels correlated significantly with BW, RDG and IGF‐1 (P < 0.01). Metabolic required calorie correlated positively with IGF‐1 (P < 0.01). Also, correlations of BW in POW, with BW and RDG in PRW were positive (P < 0.01). Growth in PRW would be influenced by maternal effects, while active self‐secretion of IGF‐1 in POW might contribute to POW growth. These factors suggested that to increase growth in PRW, maintaining enough maternal effect and IGF‐1 level in POW, was important for establishing better growth after weaning. 相似文献

We studied the presence of a potential transmission barrier that blocks Tomato yellow leaf curl virus in the nonvector greenhouse whitefly, Trialeurodes vaporariorum. Because T. vaporariorum can ingest and retain the virus after acquisition feeding on an infected plant, comparable to the vector whitefly Bemisia tabaci, circumstance evidence suggested that a transmission barrier presents at location(s) where the virus moves from the digestive
tract lumen to the hemolymph. To provide direct evidence for the site of a transmission barrier in the nonvector insect, we
compared the accumulation levels and localization of the virus between the two species of whiteflies. Quantitative real-time
and conventional PCR analysis showed that accumulation of the virus during acquisition feeding and retention after a short
acquisition period were indistinguishable between the two species, but the circulation of the virus within the whiteflies
differed significantly between the species. In an immunofluorescence analysis using an antibody specific to the coat protein
of the virus, the virus was restricted to the luminal surface of the midgut epithelial cells and did not enter their cytoplasm
or that of the salivary glands in T. vaporariorum. In contrast, the virus was localized within the cytoplasm of the midgut epithelial cells and in the paired salivary glands
of B. tabaci adults. This direct evidence shows that a selective transmission barrier at the luminal membrane surface of midgut epithelial
cells in the nonvector whitefly blocks entrance of the virus into the midgut epithelial cells, resulting in incompetence as
a vector of the virus. 相似文献

Fungicide resistance in plant pathogens is often caused by a single point mutation in a gene encoding fungicide target proteins.
Such is the case for resistance to MBI-D (inhibitors of scytalone dehydratase in melanin biosynthesis) fungicides in rice
blast fungus (Magnaporthe oryzae), which is caused by a mutation in the scytalone dehydratase gene that results in a replacement of valine with methionine
at codon 75 of the fungicide target protein. PCR-Luminex, a novel system developed for high-throughput analysis of single
nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) was successfully introduced to diagnose MBI-D resistance using specific oligonucleotide probes
coupled with fluorescent beads. The PCR-Luminex system was further tested for its potential in identifying species causing
Fusarium head blight on wheat. Four major pathogens, Fusarium graminearum (=F. asiaticum), F. culmorum, F. avenaceum, and Microdochium nivale, known to cause the disease, were tested, and the species were identified using the PCR-Luminex method. So far, this report
is the first on the application of the DNA-based PCR-Luminex system in the area of crop protection and/or agricultural sciences. 相似文献

The ability of the whitefly Bemisia tabaci to transmit two strains of Tomato yellow leaf curl virus, the Israel and Mild strains, was studied after serial transfers of individual whiteflies that were viruliferous for both
strains to tomato plants. After single whiteflies had successive acquisition feedings first on a single plant infected with
one strain and then on a plant infected with the other strain, the single whiteflies later transmitted intermittently one,
the other, or both strains to the test plants during serial transfers at 1-day intervals. Because both strains were found
in the head, abdomen, and legs dissected from whiteflies during the retention period after the two successive acquisition
feedings, both strains apparently circulate from midgut cells to salivary glands through the hemolymph. 相似文献

Tryptophan hydroxylase (TPH) serves as the rate-limiting enzyme in the biosynthesis of serotonin, and two forms of TPH genes, TPH1 and TPH2, have been reported with specific nucleotide sequences and expression patterns. We determined the sequences of these two genes and identified polymorphisms within their coding regions. We identified five novel single nucleotide polymorphisms in the TPH2 gene, one of which resulted in a non-synonymous mutation and the remaining four in synonymous mutations. Comparison of the genotype frequencies of the polymorphisms among five popular breeds with different behavioral traits revealed statistically significant interbreed differences for three polymorphisms. These results suggest that these polymorphisms would be useful genetic markers when performing behavior studies in dogs. 相似文献

Crustacean hyperglycemic hormone (CHH) is released from the X-organ/sinus gland complex located in the eyestalks. In this
study, the most abundant CHH in the sinus gland of the greasyback shrimp Metapenaeus ensis was purified by reversed-phase HPLC and identified by N-terminal amino acid sequencing. Although two CHH molecules (Mee-CHH-A
and Mee-CHH-B) have already been identified from M. ensis by cDNA cloning, this study revealed the presence of an additional CHH peptide based on differences in the N-terminal amino
acid sequences of the CHH-A and CHH-B. Therefore, this novel CHH was designated as Mee-CHH-C. A cDNA encoding the Mee-CHH-C
precursor was cloned by RT-PCR coupled with 5′- and 3′-RACE, and it was found that the mature Mee-CHH-C consisted of 72 amino
acid residues containing 6 conserved cysteine residues and possessed an amidated C terminus. Mee-CHH-C had 62 and 68% identities
with Mee-CHH-A and Mee-CHH-B, respectively, and was highly homologous to CHHs characterized from other penaeid shrimp species.
The hyperglycemic activity of Mee-CHH-C was examined by an in vivo bioassay using the kuruma prawn Marsupenaeus japonicus. Injection of Mee-CHH-C increased hemolymph glucose levels significantly and dose-dependently. These results indicate that
Mee-CHH-C is possibly one of the major molecules in M. ensis that regulate glucose levels in the hemolymph. 相似文献

Bacterial black node caused by Pseudomonas syringae pv. syringae is the most serious bacterial disease of barley and wheat in Japan. The spatiotemporal distribution of barley and wheat plants infected with bacterial black node in fields in 2016–2017 was analyzed using Taylor’s model and Iwao’s model. In Taylor’s model, the sample variance (s 2) of the total and the newly diseased plants at each observation increased with mean plant density (m). In Iwao’s model, although the mean crowding (m*) of total and newly recognized diseased plants increased with m, Taylor’s model fit the data better than did Iwao’s model. Thus, bacterial black node could be explained as a colony expansion model. 相似文献
