Grain Quality as Affected by Down-regulation of Expression of Different ALK Alleles in indica Rice (Oryza sativa L.)

【Objective】Gelatinization temperature (GT) is one of the key physicochemical properties in rice quality, which is mainly regulated by ALK (SSII-3) gene. In general, there are two ALK alleles among indica cultivars. To detect their functional differentiation in indica rice,【Method】Zhenshan 97B (a high GT variety carrying ALKc allele) and Longtefu B (a low GT variety carrying ALKb allele), were used as receptors for the generation of transgenic rice with down-regulation of ALK expression by RNA interference (RNAi).【Result】Down-regulation of ALK gene significantly decreased the GT of the transgenic lines. Due to the difference of original GT between the two receptors, the GT of transgenic rice lines derived from Zhenshan 97B (a high GT variety) decreased significantly, but it is slightly decreased in transgenic plants derived from Longtefu B (a low GT variety). The differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) results showed that the initial temperature of RNAi transgenic rice was significantly lower than the corresponding control and the transgenic lines were gelatinized in advance. The peak value of GT(Tp) in RNAi rice grains was significantly lower than that of the control under Zhenshan 97B background. However, Tp of RNAi rice grains under Longtefu B background was significantly lower than the control to a lesser extent. Also, down-regulation of ALK expression had a significant effect on rice physical-chemical characteristics. An increase of apparent amylose content in RNAi transgenic plants was detected due to the decreased expression of ALK gene. Besides, the pasting properties showed that down-regulation of ALK gene had obvious effects on peak viscosity and breakdown value, improving the taste of the transgenic rice. The gel consistency was significantly different among Zhenshan 97B RNAi lines and their parents, but no difference was found in Longtefu-derived transgenic lines.【Conclusion】RNA interference to ALK allele expression had a significant effect on rice quality, especially the gelatinization characters. Down-regulated expression level of ALKc allele would cause larger variation of physical-chemical characteristics between transgenic rice and their parent than that of ALKb allele.

紫锥菊对传染性法氏囊疫苗免疫效果的影响

为了探讨紫锥菊作为免疫增强剂的免疫效果和机理,本试验用1日龄的罗斯308肉鸡作为试验材料并用传染性法氏囊疫苗进行免疫。紫锥菊提取物分3种剂量组(A组0.1 mL/只、B组0.5 mL/只、C组1 mL/只)在6日龄开始连续给雏鸡口服7 d,在13,20,27,34,41日龄采血检测外周血中法氏囊病毒抗体,同时测定外周血中IL-2和TNF-α的含量,计算肉鸡的生产性能。结果表明,紫锥菊提取物能明显提高鸡外周血中法氏囊病毒抗体滴度,以及细胞因子IL-2和TNF-α含量,并能改善肉鸡的生产性能。所用3个剂量组中,以B组的0.5 mL/只为最佳的用药剂量。说明紫锥菊提取物具有明显的免疫促进作用。
