Two reported cytotypes of the emergent orchid model species <Emphasis Type="Italic">Erycina pusilla</Emphasis> are two different species

Each species is characterized by a specific set of chromosomes, which is described as the chromosome portrait or karyotype. In general, such a karyotype is the same for all individuals in the population. An exception to that rule has recently been found in the orchid Erycina pusilla, which has been reported to have two cytotypes with chromosome numbers of 2n = 10 and 2n = 12. Here, we examined the karyotypes of the two cytotypes and found differences in arm ratios and heterochromatin patterns as well as in the presence of satellite chromosomes and in the number and location of rDNA and telomeric repeat sites. These differences are extensive and would have required multiple chromosome rearrangements to generate the differences between the two karyotypes. We also found that F1 hybrids between the parents with the two different chromosome numbers resulted in sterile offspring, in accordance with our previous findings. The combination of hybrid sterility and extensively rearranged chromosomes supports the hypothesis that these two reported cytotypes are, in fact, two different species.     

簇毛麦6VS特异转录序列P21461及P33259的获得及其分子标记在鉴定小麦-簇毛麦抗白粉病育种材料中的应用

簇毛麦6V#2S和6V#4S染色体臂分别携带抗白粉病基因Pm21和Pm V,在与小麦的杂种后代中,抗病基因与外源染色体臂共分离。开发鉴定2条外源染色体臂间多态性的序列,尤其是遗传信息相对缺乏的6V#4S染色体臂的序列,对于其在遗传与育种上的应用具有重要意义。本研究以携带6V#4S·6DL染色体的小麦易位系Pm97033及感病小麦亲本宛7107接种白粉菌的叶片转录组数据为资源,通过差异基因筛选、共线性分析、簇毛麦基因组扩增及测序验证的方法,鉴定出来自6V#4S的表达序列P21461和P33259,其中基于P21461序列设计的引物P461-5在簇毛麦6V#2S和6V#4S染色体臂的扩增产物具有30 bp的In Del和4 nt的多态性。用该引物转化的标记P461-5a可以鉴定抗白粉病小麦品种和高代品系所含的外源染色体,显示其在簇毛麦抗源鉴别和小麦抗病育种辅助选择中潜在的应用价值。根据P33259开发的标记P259-1可以对含有6V#4S染色体臂的材料进行特异扩增,但对6V#2S·6AL易位染色体没有扩增产物,因此P259-1可作为6V#4S·6DL易位染色体的特异分子标记。q RT-PCR分析结果显示,P21461的表达不受白粉菌诱导,而P33259在接菌后12 h和24 h的转录水平比接菌前提高约2倍,推测其可能参与Pm97033与白粉菌的早期互作。     

Toxicity of cadmium and its competition with mineral nutrients for uptake by plants: A review

Cadmium(Cd)is a toxic heavy metal occurring in the environment naturally and is also generated through various anthropogenic sources and acts as a pollutant.Human health is affected by Cd pollution in farmland soils because food is the main source of Cd intake in the non-smoking population.For crops,Cd toxicity may result from a disturbance in uptake and translocation of mineral nutrients and disturbance in plant metabolism,inhibiting plant growth and development.However,plants have Cd tolerance mechanisms,including restricted Cd uptake,decreased Cd root-to-shoot translocation,enhanced antioxidant enzyme activities,and increased production of phytochelatins.Furthermore,optimal supply of mineral nutrients is one of the strategies to alleviate the damaging effects of Cd on plants and to avoid its entry into the food chain.The emerging molecular knowledge contributes to understanding Cd uptake,translocation,and remobilization in plants.In this review,Cd toxicity and tolerance mechanisms,agricultural practices to minimize Cd accumulation,Cd competition with essential elements(calcium,copper,iron,zinc,and manganese),and genes associated with Cd uptake are discussed in detail,especially regarding how these mineral nutrients and genes play a role in decreasing Cd uptake and accumulation in crop plants.

开垦草地对土壤有机碳库构成与来源的效应

以广西西北部喀斯特地区的开垦草地生态系为对象,研究了草地开垦变为不同农田后对土壤有机碳库的效应。结果表明,草地开垦为农田后,土壤可溶性有机碳、微生物生物量碳及总有机碳的含量显著下降。自然草地开垦后,柑桔地土壤有机碳含量高于农作用地土壤。玉米与甘蔗轮作土壤有机碳含量高于甘蔗连作。13C示踪结果表明,柑桔地土壤有机碳中来源于草地的含量高于农田土壤;农田土壤有机碳中来源于草地的随种植年限的增加而降低。在玉米与甘蔗轮作的农田中,土壤有机碳中来源于玉米的高于甘蔗连作土壤有机碳中来源于甘蔗的。
