A SCAR marker linked to the N gene for resistance to root knot nematodes (Meloidogyne spp.) in pepper (Capsicum annuum L.)

The root-knot nematodes (Meloidogyne spp.) are important nematode pests and cause serious diseases in pepper in the world. No molecular markers linked to the nematodes resistance N gene have been reported. In this paper, ‘Carolina Wonder’ (Capsicum annuum L.), a sweet pepper line resistant to root-knot nematode with N gene, ‘20080-5-29’ (C. annuum L.), an inbred line susceptible to root-knot nematode with good horticultural characteristics, and their F₂ progeny with 320 individuals were used as materials. Evaluation of resistance and susceptibility of parental lines, F₁ and F₂ progeny inoculated with root-knot nematodes (Meloidogyne incognita) were carried out. ‘Bulked segregant analysis’ method was used to search for polymorphic markers from 512 pairs of AFLP primers. Based on the assessment of resistance and susceptibility and polymorphism of the AFLP marker in F₂ population, the genetic linkage distance between the AFLP marker and the N gene was estimated. One AFLP marker E39/M41-339 was obtained and transferred to a SCAR marker amplifying a 315 bp DNA fragment linked to the N resistant allele and a 331 bp fragment linked to the N⁺ susceptible allele. The distance between the molecular marker and the nematodes resistance N gene is 6.3 cM. This research delivered a valuable tool for the marker assisted selection of nematodes resistance in pepper.

为了探索普通小麦品种西农538的LMW-GS对面粉加工品质的影响,根据NCBI中已公布的LMW-GS基因序列,设计了一对特异性引物,从西农538基因组DNA中克隆出LMW-GS基因后,对其进行原核表达及掺粉试验。序列分析表明,克隆得到的LMW-GS基因序列(GenBank登录号为KX452081)有单一完整的开放阅读框,编码区长915bp,无内含子。同源性比对及进化树分析发现,该基因属于Glu-D3、Type V(Group 10)、m型、C组LMW-GS基因。SDS-PAGE和Western blot分析表明,该基因原核表达成功。微量掺粉试验表明,诱导表达的蛋白对小麦面粉加工品质有负效应。     

S‐locus diversity and cross‐compatibility of wild Prunus avium for timber breeding

Prunus avium is primarily cultivated for its fruit, sweet cherries. However, it is also used to produce high‐quality timber. In a P. avium seed orchard, gametophytic self‐incompatibility is a restriction for free pollen flow and should be considered when establishing basic forest materials. In this study, S‐locus diversity and cross‐incompatibility of wild cherry individuals in clonal banks established for breeding for timber production were investigated. Wild cherry trees (140) with outstanding forest growth habit, collected in northern Spain, grafted and planted in two clonal banks, were genotyped at the S‐locus. The self‐incompatibility S‐locus genes, S‐RNase and SFB, were analysed by PCR. Twenty‐two S‐haplotypes, resulting in 72 different S‐genotypes, were identified. The genotypes were grouped into 33 incompatibility groups and 39 unique genotypes. This initial S‐locus analysis revealed large genetic diversity of wild cherry trees from the Spanish northern deciduous forest, and provides useful information for seed orchard design. Wild P. avium displays significantly more genetic diversity than what is detected in local cultivars, revealing a narrowing of genetic diversity during local domestication.     

河道淤泥气泡混合轻质土剪切流变特性及模型

利用剪切流变试验对以水泥为固化剂的河道淤泥气泡混合轻质土的流变特性进行了试验研究。试验结果表明,经固化处理的河道淤泥气泡混合轻质土在荷载作用下具有类似于硬粘性土的流变特征。剪切流变可以分为3个阶段：在剪应力水平较低时,剪切流变曲线呈衰减稳定型;随着剪应力水平的提高,剪切流变曲线呈非稳定的等速型;当剪应力水平增大到一定程度时,剪切流变曲线呈加速型。河道淤泥气泡混合轻质土的流变性随着混合轻质土强度的提高而降低。根据试验所呈现的剪切流变规律,可以发现河道淤泥气泡混合轻质土的剪切流变符合七元件黏弹塑性剪切流变模型,模型能够比较好地描述河道淤泥混合轻质土在各种剪应力水平下的衰减、等速以及加速流变过程。     

钾肥减量分期施用对莴笋产量和品质的效应研究

通过大田试验研究了紫色菜园土壤钾肥减量分期施用对莴笋产量和品质的影响。结果表明：两个试验点钾肥减量10%~30%分期施用对莴笋产量有提高作用,各处理以K2（钾肥减量10%分期等量追施）效应最好,增产最大（4.2%和4.5%）、施肥利润最高（84923元/hm²和72075元/hm²）。两个试验点莴笋叶维生素C含量均呈下降趋势,K2处理较常规施肥(CK)处理均显著降低莴笋叶维生素C含量（8.0%和8.7%）;而莴笋茎维生素C含量变化规律不一致。钾肥减量分期施用降低两个试验点莴笋叶和茎硝酸盐含量,以K4处理（钾肥减量30%分期等量追施）降低作用最大;从莴笋叶和茎糖组分的均衡性看,以K3处理最好。钾肥减量分期施用对两个试验点莴笋叶必需氨基酸含量有显著增加作用,改善叶氨基酸品质性状,但降低莴笋茎必需氨基酸含量和品质性状;莴笋氨基酸品质性状以K4处理为最优,其次是K2处理。综合考虑莴笋产量和品质,紫色菜园土壤以K2处理（钾肥减量10%分期等量追施）最优。     

Bt抗虫棉新品系毒蛋白表达差异分析

【目的】本研究旨在探讨部分抗虫棉不抗虫的原因。【方法】通过室内生物测定、卡那霉素、Bt-Cry1Ab/Ac试纸条、PCR分析、Southern blot检测和Bt蛋白含量检测等方法分析了23个抗虫棉新品系的抗虫性。【结果】生测结果表明供试品系间幼虫死亡率差异显著。卡那霉素、Bt-Cry1Ab/Ac试纸条、PCR分析和Southern blot检测结果表明,Bt基因在供试材料中整合并稳定遗传且为单拷贝。RT-PCR结果表明,各试验品系Bt基因相对表达量差异较大,花期叶片Bt基因的相对表达量最高;Bt蛋白检测结果发现抗虫棉Bt蛋白表达量在生育前期大于后期,营养器官中的大于生殖器官,不同年份Bt蛋白含量差异显著。幼虫死亡率与Bt基因相对表达量的相关系数仅为0.1745,与Bt蛋白的相关系数为0.7130,表明Bt蛋白含量越高,抗虫性越好;各组织器官的Bt蛋白与Bt基因的相对表达量相关系数为-0.3659~0.2542,二者表达趋势不一致,表明遗传背景对抗虫棉Bt蛋白的表达具有一定影响。且Bt基因可能在转录后受到调控导致Bt蛋白含量发生变化,从而影响了抗虫棉的抗虫性。【结论】这些结果有望为抗虫棉育种提供参考。     

Exogenous application of melatonin improves plant resistance to virus infection

In this study, melatonin (MEL)-mediated plant resistance to tobacco mosaic virus (TMV) was examined to study local infection in Nicotiana glutinosa and systemic infection in Solanum lycopersicum. Exogenous application of 100 µm MEL increased anti-virus infection activity to 37.4% in virus-infected N. glutinosa plants. The same treatment significantly reduced relative levels of virus RNA analysed by qRT-PCR and virus titres measured by dot-ELISA, and increased the relative expression levels of the PR1 and PR5 genes analysed by qRT-PCR, in virus-infected S. lycopersicum. MEL treatment induced considerable accumulations of salicylic acid (SA) and nitric oxide (NO) but did not significantly affect production of hydrogen peroxide (H₂O₂) in the virus-infected S. lycopersicum plants. Transgenic nahG N. tabacum was used to determine whether MEL-induced TMV resistance was dependent on the SA pathway. The results showed that the relative RNA level of the TMV analysed by qRT-PCR and virus titres analysed by dot-ELISA were not reduced by the MEL treatment in the nahG transgenic N. tabacum seedlings treated twice with 100 µm MEL. The increased relative expression levels of PR1 and PR5 were greatly reduced when cPTIO, an NO scavenger, was included in the MEL treatment. A working model of MEL-mediated plant resistance to TMV is proposed. MEL-mediated plant resistance to viruses provides a new avenue to control plant viral diseases.     

喷头和施药液量对水稻植株上农药沉积和药剂防治效果的影响

为明确喷头及施药液量对水稻植株上农药沉积及药剂防治效果的影响,采用丽春红-G示踪法测定了4种喷头ST11001、ST11002、TR8001、TR8002在不同施药液量条件下喷雾农药在水稻植株上的沉积分布特性,并比较了4种喷头施用相同剂量的40%氯虫苯甲酰胺·噻虫嗪WDG对水稻纵卷叶螟Cnaphalocrocis medinalis和褐飞虱Nilaparvata lugens的防治效果。结果表明,选择ST11002和TR8001喷头,在施药液量300 L/hm~2条件下喷雾,单株水稻上的丽春红-G沉积量分别达到27.55μg和28.16μg;选择ST11001和TR8002喷头,在施药液量900 L/hm~2条件下喷雾,单株水稻上的丽春红-G沉积量仅分别为12.27μg和14.86μg。喷头和施药液量的改变不影响水稻植株上农药沉积分布特性,均为上层沉积量中层沉积量下层沉积量。当施药液量从300 L/hm~2增加到900 L/hm~2,4种喷头ST11001、ST11002、TR8001、TR8002喷雾在水稻基部的雾滴密度分别增加了8.21、8.54、7.79和9.69倍;但在相同施药液量下,4种喷头在水稻基部的雾滴密度没有显著差异。同一剂量下,喷头和施药液量不同组合的防治效果间差异显著。表明针对稻田不同防治对象,选择合适的喷头及施药液量将有助于提高农药沉积及防治效果。
