退化梯度对克氏针茅种群遗传分化的影响

对重度退化、轻度退化和正常样地的克氏针茅种群进行RAPD研究。结果表明,3个种群扩增条带总数、多态位点比率、种群内稀有位点数、遗传多样性和基因多样性均是正常种群>轻度退化种群>重度退化种群。用Shannon指数估算3个种群的遗传多样性,其中72.39%的遗传变异存在于种群内,26.89%存在于种群间。重度退化与轻度退化种群,重度退化与正常种群间的遗传相似系数分别为0.8993和0.8159。在重度退化情况下克氏针茅种群遗传结构发生了一定的遗传分化。     

Molecular polymorphism of cytoplasmic DNA in Ficus carica L.: Insights from non-coding regions of chloroplast DNA

The trnL (UAA) intron and the intergenic spacer between the 3′ exon of trnL (UAA) and trnF (GAA) sequences were used as genetic markers for differentiating Ficus carica cultivars and establishing refined genetic relationships. The study was based on 20 fig cultivars, collected from south and centre of Tunisia. Since, the intron was thought to be more variable among close relatives than is the chloroplast spacer. The size of these non-coding regions varied from 554 to 589 and from 989 to 1022 bases pairs for the intron and the combined sequences correspondingly. The average of GC content was 33.9% and 34.6% in the intron and the combined intron and spacer respectively. High values of A + T contents were detected in both data sets and may explain the high proportions of transversions founded. The observed variation pattern of plastid DNA provides evidence of an important genetic diversity. The overall transition/transversion bias (R) was 0.202 in the intron and 0.27 in the combined regions. The RI index of 0.592 indicates that these combined sequences have clearly more homoplasy then the intron (RI = 0.705) and spacer (RI = 0.777) sequences separately. Phylogenetic trees were generated based on maximum parsimony (MP) and neighbor-joining (NJ) analysis of the chloroplast sequences data. Results proved that a typically continuous genetic diversity characterizes the local fig germplasm. In fact, relationships inferred from the cpDNA analysis suggest several clades, which do not show geographical or tree sex correspondence. Although the level of apparent diversity is considerable, we may conclude that non-coding regions of chloroplast genome provide a new and practical opportunity to evaluate genetic diversity and to discriminate fig cultivars. Revealed cytoplasmic DNA markers are reliable to elaborate a molecular data base to conduct management and breeding programs on local fig germplasm.     

In silico prediction of Gallibacterium anatis pan-immunogens

The Gram-negative bacterium Gallibacterium anatis is a major cause of salpingitis and peritonitis in commercial egg-layers, leading to reduced egg production and increased mortality. Unfortunately, widespread multidrug resistance and antigenic diversity makes it difficult to control infections and novel prevention strategies are urgently needed. In this study, a pan-genomic reverse vaccinology (RV) approach was used to identify potential vaccine candidates. Firstly, the genomes of 10 selected Gallibacterium strains were analyzed and proteins selected on the following criteria; predicted surface-exposure or secretion, none or one transmembrane helix (TMH), and presence in six or more of the 10 genomes. In total, 42 proteins were selected. The genes encoding 27 of these proteins were successfully cloned in Escherichia coli and the proteins expressed and purified. To reduce the number of vaccine candidates for in vivo testing, each of the purified recombinant proteins was screened by ELISA for their ability to elicit a significant serological response with serum from chickens that had been infected with G. anatis. Additionally, an in silico prediction of the protective potential was carried out based on a protein property prediction method. Of the 27 proteins, two novel putative immunogens were identified; Gab_1309 and Gab_2312. Moreover, three previously characterized virulence factors; GtxA, FlfA and Gab_2156, were identified. Thus, by combining the pan-genomic RV approach with subsequent in vitro and in silico screening, we have narrowed down the pan-proteome of G. anatis to five vaccine candidates. Importantly, preliminary immunization trials indicated an in vivo protective potential of GtxA-N, FlfA and Gab_1309.

鸭种蛋孵化工艺的优化

1 种蛋的收集、消毒与保存 1.1 种蛋的收集 种鸭与种鸡所处的环境有所不同,鸭离不开水,因此鸭舍比鸡舍脏,种鸭一般在凌晨3:00左右产蛋,如不及时收集种蛋,易被种鸭践踏造成污染,所以收集种蛋应越早越好.在收集时应按种用蛋、非种用蛋(双黄蛋、破蛋、畸形蛋)分别装入专用鸭蛋篓.早晨6:30产蛋基本结束,第一次集蛋完成后应尽快入库.有个别的种鸭产蛋(约占母鸭群的3%左右)直到上午8:00左右产蛋才结束,应将第二次集好的种蛋再送到蛋库.     

我国苹果生产的植保托管需求分析与发展思考

植保环节是种植业产生环境污染和农产品质量安全风险的重要来源,水果是我国种植业的重要组成部分,果园植保高投入的特点使之成为制约种植业绿色发展的瓶颈。我国的水果生产以小农户为主,果园用药普遍存在不合理、不科学的问题,对其用药的管控难以有效实现。基于对主产区300余个苹果种植户的调查访问,首先回顾了我国苹果生产的发展历程和特点,分析了苹果生产中存在的问题,提出了小农户常规栽培管理是造成果园环境污染和水果质量安全隐患的主要原因的观点;其次从社会需要、农户需求、农户意愿3个层面分析了我国小农户苹果生产的植保托管需要,指出了构建果园植保托管体系的必要性;最后从我国水果产业绿色发展的视角,针对政府、服务者、农户3个行为主体提出了建议。

白木香茎中内源茉莉酸类和倍半萜类物质对机械伤害的响应

 为揭示伤害信号--茉莉酸类（JAs）对倍半萜可能的调控作用,以3年生白木香[Aquilaria sinensis（Lour.）Gilg]树苗为试材进行机械伤害和外施茉莉酸甲酯（MeJA）处理,测定其茎中内源JAs和倍半萜含量。结果表明,机械伤害处理1 h后,内源JAs含量显著增加,随后迅速下降;伤害处理24 h后又有小幅升高。伤害处理诱导白木香产生3种倍半萜（δ–愈创木烯、α–愈创木烯和α–葎草烯）且含量随着伤害时间延长而增多。外源MeJA处理也能够诱导产生相同种类的倍半萜且诱导强度大于伤害处理。伤害早期（1 h）内源JAs含量升高和伤害后期（48 h）倍半萜含量增多是植物启动相应的防御反应和抵御伤害胁迫的重要机制。
