内生真菌对醉马草白粉病抗性的影响

为研究内生真菌对醉马草白粉病抗性的影响,在温室条件下,对自然发生不同程度白粉病(健康、轻度感病和重度感病植株)的带内生真菌(E+)和不带内生真菌(E-)的醉马草植株的发病率、病叶率、病情指数及各项生理生化指标进行测定。结果表明,E+醉马草的发病率48%显著低于E-醉马草的发病率97%(P0.05),E+的病叶率60%显著低于E-醉马草病叶率86%(P0.05),E+醉马草的病情指数为50.76,E-醉马草的病情指数为82.49;通过各项生理生化指标的测定发现与健康植株相比,在轻度和重度发病植株中,内生真菌的存在可以显著(P0.05)提高醉马草叶片的叶绿素含量和脯氨酸含量,E+醉马草的SOD酶活性和POD酶活性也显著高于E-醉马草,同时内生真菌显著地降低了醉马草叶片中丙二醛(MDA)的含量。据此说明内生真菌的存在能够提高醉马草抗白粉病的能力。

鸡lncRNA-MSTRG.15568.9及其预测靶基因的表达

试验旨在了解在鸡睾丸中高表达的1个长链非编码RNA （long non-coding RNA,lncRNA）及其预测靶基因的时空表达规律,研究二者在鸡弱精子症中的调控作用。根据弱精子症和正常北京油鸡公鸡睾丸转录组测序筛选到的1个高表达的lncRNA （MSTRG.15568.9）,采用顺式（cis）作用模式预测其潜在靶基因SPAG4（sperm-associated antigen 4）,进一步采用实时荧光定量PCR方法进行表达量分析。分别选择3只0、5、20、30、45、60周龄正常北京油鸡公鸡,检测MSTRG.15568.9与SPAG4基因在不同周龄公鸡睾丸中的表达量差异;选择30周龄3只正常公鸡,采集睾丸、肝脏和脾脏等8个部位组织样品,检测MSTRG.15568.9与SPAG4基因在不同组织间的表达规律;选择45周龄弱精子症公鸡和正常公鸡各3只,对比MSTRG.15568.9与SPAG4基因在睾丸的表达量差异。结果显示,MSTRG.15568.9与SPAG4存在明显的时空表达差异,且二者表达趋势基本一致。在不同周龄的鸡睾丸组织中,MSTRG.15568.9和SPAG4的表达趋势相近,MSTRG.15568.9在20周龄的表达量显著高于0、5、30、45、60周龄（P<0.05）,0和5周龄表达量显著低于20、30、45和60周龄（P<0.05）;SPAG4在45周龄表达量最高,其次是20周龄（P<0.05）。MSTRG.15568.9和SPAG4在睾丸和肝脏中的表达量均显著高于脾脏、肾脏等组织（P<0.05）;在正常睾丸组织中的表达量均显著高于弱精子症睾丸组织（P<0.05）。综上所述,MSTRG.15568.9与SPAG4基因具有较明显的组织表达特异性,且MSTRG.15568.9可能调控SPAG4基因的表达,参与精子发生与精子活力调控;但其具体作用机制需要进一步探索。本研究可为鉴定与鸡弱精子症调节机制相关的功能基因提供参考。     

Bats adjust temporal parameters of echolocation pulses but not those of communication calls in response to traffic noise

Many studies based on acute short‐term noise exposure have demonstrated that animals can adjust their vocalizations in response to ambient noise. However, the effects of chronic noise over a relatively long time scale of multiple days remain largely unclear. Bats rely mainly on acoustic signals for perception of environmental and social communication. Nearly all previous studies on noise‐induced vocal adjustments have focused on echolocation pulse sounds. Relatively little is known regarding the effects of noise on social communication calls. Here, we examined the dynamic changes in the temporal parameters of echolocation and communication vocalizations of Vespertilio sinensis when exposed to traffic noise over multiple days. We found that the bats started to modify their echolocation vocalizations on the fourth day of noise exposure, with an increase of 42–91% in the total number of pulse sequences per day. Under noisy conditions, the number of pulses within a pulse sequence decreased by an average of 17.2%, resulting in a significantly slower number of pulses/sequence (P < 0.001). However, there was little change in the duration of a pulse sequence. These parameters were not significantly adjusted in most communication vocalizations under the noise condition (all P > 0.05), except that the duration decreased and the number of syllables/sequences increased in 1 type of communicative vocalization (P < 0.05). This study suggests that bats routinely adjust temporal parameters of echolocation but rarely of communication vocalizations in response to noise condition.     

Effects of Wnt10b on dermal papilla cells via the canonical Wnt/β‐catenin signalling pathway in the Angora rabbit

Wnt10b is a member of Wnt family that plays a variety of roles in biological functions, including those in the development of hair follicles. To investigate the effect of Wnt10b on hair growth in the Angora rabbit and to determine the underlying molecular mechanism, we cultured dermal papilla (DP) cells with exogenous Wnt10b in vitro. We observed the expressions of downstream critical gene β‐catenin and lymphoid enhancer‐binding factor 1 (LEF1) in Wnt/β‐catenin pathway. The levels of β‐catenin mRNA and protein were higher in the Wnt10b group of DP cells than in the Control group, and the mRNA level of LEF1 in the Wnt10b group was higher than in the Control group. Moreover, translocation of β‐catenin from cytoplasm to nucleus was activated in the Wnt10b group. Furthermore, the mRNA levels of the hair follicle‐regulatory genes, insulin‐like growth factor‐1 (IGF‐1) and alkaline phosphatase (ALP), and the protein activity of ALP was also upregulated in the Wnt10b group compared to their corresponding levels in the Control group. These data suggest that Wnt10b could activate the canonical Wnt/β‐catenin signalling pathway to induce DP cells in the Angora rabbit. In addition, the proliferation of DP cells was significantly promoted when cultured with Wnt10b for 48 and 72 hr, suggesting that Wnt10b plays a pivotal role in the proliferation and maintenance of DP cells in vitro. In conclusion, this study demonstrates that Wnt10b may promote hair follicle growth in Angora rabbit through the canonical Wnt/β‐catenin signalling pathway that promotes the proliferation of DP cells.
