Genetic variation of seedling traits responded to brassinosteroid and gibberellin inhibitors in maize (Zea mays) doubled haploid lines

The purpose of this study was to examine the genotypic variation in maize doubled haploid (DH) lines response to brassinosteroid and gibberellin inhibitors. Plant responses to hormone inhibitors were determined in growth chamber experiments using germination paper for three different seedling treatments: application of propiconazole (Pcz), uniconazole (Ucz) or water (control). Mesocotyl length (ML) was more sensitive to hormone inhibitors, especially to the Ucz treatment, than other seedling traits. ML was significantly correlated with other traits in the Ucz treatment. All the seedling traits showed moderate-to-high broad sense heritability values, ranging from 0.39 to 0.82. The Euclidian genetic distances of inbred line pairs ranged from 1.27 to 19.94, indicating there was a high level of variability across the maize DH lines used in this study. DH lines with extreme MLs were identified, which can provide valuable breeding resources for improving abiotic stress tolerance, and for further genetic studies.     

益生菌制剂对凡纳滨对虾生长、营养代谢及抗氧化能力的影响

【目的】研究饲料中添加地衣芽孢杆菌和凝结芽孢杆菌对凡纳滨对虾生长性能、营养代谢及抗氧化能力的影响。【方法】将凡纳滨对虾幼虾随机分成3组,对照组投喂仅用蛋白液包裹的基础饲料,试验组分别投喂含活菌量达10~8 CFU/g的凝结芽孢杆菌和地衣芽孢杆菌的试验饲料,养殖周期为28 d。于试验第7,14,21和28天取样,测定血清总蛋白(TP)、总胆固醇(TC)、甘油三酯(TG)、一氧化氮(NO)含量及谷氨酰胺合成酶(GS)、苹果酸脱氢酶(MDH)、脂肪酶(LPS)、已糖激酶(HK)、谷胱甘肽过氧化物酶(GSH-Px)、过氧化氢酶(CAT)、超氧化物歧化酶(SOD)、一氧化氮合酶(NOS)活性和总抗氧化能力(T-AOC);试验结束后测定凡纳滨对虾的生长性能和肌肉营养成分。【结果】(1)与对照组比较,2个试验组凡纳滨对虾的终末体质量显著提高(P0.05),饲料系数显著降低(P0.05),肌肉中粗蛋白质、肌糖原含量和呈味氨基酸总量显著提高(P0.05);凝结芽孢杆菌组血清中TP、TC及TG含量与对照组差异显著(P0.05),地衣芽孢杆菌组TG含量显著高于对照组(P0.05)。(2)凝结芽孢杆菌组GS活性在试验第14天显著高于其他2个组(P0.05);2个试验组HK活性在第21天显著高于对照组(P0.05);凝结芽孢杆菌组MDH活性在第21天显著高于对照组(P0.05);2个试验组LPS活性在第7天显著高于对照组(P0.05),2个试验组之间无显著差异(P0.05)。(3)凝结芽孢杆菌组T-AOC活性在试验第7天最高(55.21 U/mL),地衣芽孢杆菌组在第14天最高(45.08 U/mL),均显著高于对照组(P0.05);2个试验组CAT活性在第21天最高,SOD活性在第7天最高,均显著高于对照组(P0.05),而2个试验组之间无显著差异(P0.05);凝结芽孢杆菌组GSH-PX活性在第28天最高(957.30 U/mL),地衣芽孢杆菌组在第21天最高(932.25 U/mL),均显著高于对照组(P0.05);凝结芽孢杆菌组NOS活性和NO含量均在第14天最高,显著高于对照组(P0.05);地衣芽孢杆菌组NO含量在第28天最高,显著高于对照组(P0.05)。【结论】地衣芽孢杆菌和凝结芽孢杆菌均可作为饲料添加剂使用,提高凡纳滨对虾的生长性能,增强其营养物质代谢水平,提高其抗氧化能力。

Effect of the L-D1 alleles on leaf morphology,canopy structure and photosynthetic productivity in upland cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.)

One of the most important objectives for breeders is to develop high-yield cultivars.The increase in crop yield has met with bottlenecks after the first green revolution,and more recent efforts have been focusing on achieving high photosynthetic efficiency traits in order to enhance the yield.Leaf shape is a significant agronomic trait of upland cotton that affects plant and canopy architecture,yield,and other production attributes.The major leaf shape types,including normal,sub-okra,okra,and su...     

Functional analysis of MdSUT2.1, a plasma membrane sucrose transporter from apple

Sugar content is a determinant of apple(Malus×domestica Borkh.) sweetness. However, the molecular mechanism underlying sucrose accumulation in apple fruit remains elusive. Herein, this study reported the role of the sucrose transporter MdSUT2.1 in the regulation of sucrose accumulation in apples. The MdSUT2.1 gene encoded a protein with 612 amino acid residues that could be localized at the plasma membrane when expressed in tobacco leaf protoplasts.MdSUT2.1 was highly expressed in fruit and was ...
