苹果脱水素基因生物信息学识别与表达分析

本研究使用Perl语言在‘金冠’苹果基因组中识别脱水素基因(MD-DHN)序列,并对MD-DHN系统发生关系、保守序列、氨基酸一级结构以及疏水性等进行了生物信息学分析,并利用低温处理下‘金红’、‘金冠’苹果转录组测序数据,分析了MD-DHN表达差异。在‘金冠’苹果基因组中,共识别17个MD-DHN,根据系统发生关系可以归类为I、Ⅱ、Ⅲ3个亚族,I类亚族的成员最多,Ⅲ类亚族最少,均包含Y、S、K序列区,但I类亚族K区一致性不高。17个MD-DHN蛋白都具有高亲水性,但是不同蛋白序列之间亲水性存在差异。17个MD-DHN中,有11个MD-DHN响应苹果冷胁迫和冰冻胁迫,其中10个脱水素基因(MDDHN1～MD-DHN5, MD-DHN8～MD-DHN10, MD-DHN13和MD-DHN15)在冰冻胁迫下,在更耐寒‘金红’苹果中高表达。本研究为进一步探讨MD-DHN基因功能提供了依据。

Role of Salicylic Acid in Alleviating Cadmium Toxicity in Rice Roots

In order to understand how salicylic acid (SA) is involved in modulating rice responses to cadmium (Cd) toxicity, particularly in Cd immobilization, a series of hydroponic experiments were conducted to examine changes in cell wall composition, activities of the enzymes related to lignin synthesis including phenylalanine ammonia-lyase (PAL), peroxidase (POD), and polyphenol oxidase (PPO), subcellular Cd distribution, levels of hydrogen peroxide (H₂O₂), malondialdehyde (MDA), and lignin and non-protein thiols (NPT) in rice roots under Cd stress with or without the pretreatment of SA. Results showed that Cd treatment decreased root biomass by 40% compared with the control (no Cd treatment) and pretreatment with SA significantly mitigated the Cd-induced inhibition of root growth. There was no significant difference in root cell wall composition or lignification between the treatment with Cd alone and the treatment with Cd with SA. No effects were observed for SA pretreatment on the activities of PAL, POD, or PPO under Cd stress. Furthermore, soluble Cd concentrations in root cells were significantly higher in the treatment with Cd with SA than in the treatment with Cd alone. However, H₂O₂ and MDA concentrations in rice roots were significantly lower but NPT levels were higher in the treatment with Cd with SA than in the treatment with Cd alone, which indicated that SA alleviated Cd-induced oxidative damage. It seems to suggest that SA-mediated enhancement of Cd tolerance was not due to enhanced Cd retention in the cell wall but to enhanced Cd bindings with thiols (─SH) group. The effects of SA-enhanced Cd tolerance were discussed with regard to H₂O₂ signaling pathways.     

Soil colloids-bound plasmid DNA: Effect on transformation of E. coli and resistance to DNase I degradation

The adsorption and binding of plasmid p34S DNA on four different colloidal fractions from a Brown soil and clay minerals in the presence of various Ca²⁺ concentrations, the ability of bound DNA to transform competent cells of CaCl₂-treated Escherichia coli, and the resistance of bound DNA to degradation by DNase I were studied. DNA adsorption on soil colloids and clay minerals was promoted in the presence of Ca²⁺. Kaolinite exhibited the highest adsorption affinity for DNA among the examined soil colloids and clay minerals. In comparison with organo-mineral complexes (organic clays) and fine clays (<0.2 μm), DNA was tightly adsorbed by H₂O₂-treated clays (inorganic clays) and coarse clays (0.2-2 μm). The transformation efficiency of bound DNA increased with increasing concentrations of Ca²⁺ at which soil colloid or clay mineral-DNA complexes were formed. DNA bound by kaolinite showed the lowest transformation efficiency, and especially no transformants were observed with kaolinite-DNA complex prepared at 5-100 mM Ca²⁺. Compared to organic clays and fine clays, DNA bound on inorganic clays and coarse clays showed a lower capacity to transform E. coli at different Ca²⁺ concentrations. The presence of soil colloids and minerals provided protection to DNA against degradation by DNase I. Montmorillonite, organic clays and fine clays showed stronger protective effects for DNA than inorganic clays and coarse clays. The protection mechanisms as well as the differences in transforming efficiency of plasmid DNA molecules bound on various soil colloidal particles are discussed. The information obtained in this study is of fundamental significance for the understanding of the horizontal dissemination of recombinant DNA and the fate of extracellular DNA in soil environments.     

Nutrient uptake requirements with increasing grain yield for rice in China

Improved estimates of nutrient requirements for rice（Oryza sativa L.）in China are essential to optimize fertilization regulation for increasing grain yields and reducing the potential of environmental negative influences,especially under high-yielding intensive systems.A database involving rice grain yields,nutrient concentrations and accumulations collected from on-field station experiments in the literatures published from 2000 to 2013 in China was developed to understand the relationships between grain yields and plant nutrient uptakes,and to quantify nutrient requirements for different yield levels.Considering all data sets,rice grain yield ranged from 1.4 to 15.2t ha^-1with the mean value of 7.84t ha^-1,and ca.10.4%of yield observations were higher than the yield barrier level of 10 t ha^-1.N requirement to produce one ton grain was 21.10 kg for the yield range<4.0t ha^-1with a high variation of 45.8%.Except of the yield range<4.0t ha^-1,the values of N requirement,firstly increased from 18.78 kg for yield range 4.0-5.5 t ha^-1to 20.62 kg for yield range 7.0-8.5 t ha^-1,then decreased slightly to 19.67 and19.17 kg for the yield range 8.5-10 and>10 t ha^-1,respectively.Phosphorus（P）and potassium（K）requirements showed increasing trends,from 3.51 and 19.87 kg per t grain for<4.0 t ha^-1yield range to 4.10 and 21.70 kg for>10.0t ha^-1range.In conclusion,nutrient requirement varied with increasement of grain yield,and N,P and K presented various response trends,increasing,declining or stagnating,which would be of great benefit for improving fertilizer strategies.
