马铃薯SGT3基因表达及其启动子功能分析

鼠李糖转移酶(rhamnosyltransferase SGT3)是植物糖苷生物碱合成的关键酶,它主要调控α-茄碱和α-查茄碱从其β形式的转化。本文研究马铃薯栽培种SGT3基因的表达特点及其启动子的功能。实时定量PCR结果发现在红光照射24 h后,SGT3的表达量是黑暗处理的26.8倍,说明红光显著诱导了SGT3的表达;为进一步分析该基因的光调控机理,本项研究克隆到SGT3上游长度为2449 bp的启动子序列,通过分析发现该启动子的转录起始位点位于翻译起始位点上游-152 bp,同时确定了该启动子核心序列及上游增强子、抑制子序列,受病原菌、损伤、干旱、ABA 激素及一系列光调控的顺式元件。构建不同长度(349,572,979,1312和1870 bp)的该启动子驱动报告基因GUS的植物表达载体并转化烟草。结果证明,不同长度的SGT3启动子都可以启动GUS表达,但没有CMV 35S启动的GUS表达量高;其中在P572和P979的表达强度较高,这可能与该片段含有启动子的正调控元件(GATA BOX,5′UTRPY-RICH STRETCH)有关,GUS表达强度在P1312和P1870中明显减弱,预测到该区段存在抑制基因表达的负调控元件(WRKY710S);SGT3启动子的组织特异性实验表明GUS染色主要集中在烟草叶片的叶脉部分,茎中的表皮、韧皮部及木质部,但髓部几乎不表达,根中主要分布在根冠、分生区以及维管束组织中。上述结果为将来研究SGT3在糖苷生物碱合成过程中的调节功能提供了依据。     

Age-related changes in the anatomical characteristics of Peyer's patches in small intestine of Bactrian camels (Camelus bactrianus)

The distribution, size, and appearance of Peyer's patches vary according to species. In order to determine the anatomical characteristics of Peyer's patches in small intestine of Bactrian camel, and age-related changes in the number of Peyer's patches, 40 Bactrian camels of the following four age groups were studied: young (0.5–2 years), pubertal (3–5 years), middle-aged (6–16 years), and old (17–20 years). The exact number of Peyer's patches was recorded, and the appearance of Peyer's patches was described in detail. The results indicated that Peyer's patches of Bactrian camels not only have a particular anatomical location and distinct appearance but also change with age. They were distributed in the whole small intestine and there were four distinct types of Peyer's patches: nodular, faviform, cup-shaped, and cystic form Peyer's patches. However, the nodular and cystic form Peyer’s patches are specific to Bactrian camel, which have not been found in other animals including Dromedary camel. In addition, the distribution density of Peyer's patches in ileum was the maximum, then was jejunum and duodenum. Further statistical analysis showed that the number of Peyer's patches was altered with age. The number peaked in 5-year-old camels and declined subsequently with age. However, there was little change in the size of Peyer's patches in different age groups; no age-related macroscopic variations in the shape or size of the Peyer's patches were found. Results obtained from this study provide the basic information to further study on the gastrointestinal mucosal immunity of Bactrian camel.     

The role of ectomycorrhizal fungi in alleviating pine decline in semiarid sandy soil of northern China: an experimental approach

The decline of Mongolian pine (Pinus sylvestris var. mongolica) trees on sandy land in northern China has caused serious ecological concerns. Mongolian pine is an ectomycorrhizal fungus (ECM)-dependent species. Three ECM species (Boletus sp., Lactarius deliciosus and L.sp.) were collected from Mongolian pine plantation stands to test their beneficial effects on Mongolian pine seedlings and their responses to environmental factors such as pH, drought stress and temperature. The results indicated that ECM inoculation significantly increased the rate of ECM colonization and the length of seedling shoots. The three ECM could grow in a pH range from 4 to 7, but did not grow under heavy drought stress (?1.53 MPa). High temperatures (over 37 °C) caused death of ECM. When related to soil pH, soil water content and temperature in the Mongolian pine plantations, water conditions and temperature were unfavorable for ECM growth in surface soil, but suitable in deeper soil. Therefore, it was concluded that the failure of natural regeneration in Mongolian pine plantations might be influenced by the lack of ECM in the surface soil because of high temperatures causing ECM death. Moreover, the majority of the root area is distributed in deeper soil, which alleviates the stresses on ECM development and arrests pine decline; this is beneficial for tree growth.     

Methyl donors dietary supplementation to gestating sows diet improves the growth rate of offspring and is associating with changes in expression and DNA methylation of insulin‐like growth factor‐1 gene

The study aimed to investigate the effects of maternal dietary methyl donors on the performance of sows and their offspring, and the associated hepatic insulin‐like growth factor‐1 (IGF‐1) expression of the offspring. A total of 24 multiparous sows were randomly fed the control (CON) or the CON diet supplemented with methyl donors (MD) at 3 g/kg betaine, 15 mg/kg folic acid, 400 mg/kg choline and 150 μg/kg VB₁₂, from mating until delivery. After farrowing, sows were fed a common lactation diet through a 28‐days lactation period and six litters per treatment were selected to be fed until at approximately 110 kg BW. Maternal MD supplementation resulted in greater birthweight (p < 0.05) and increased the piglet weights (p < 0.01) and litter weights (p < 0.05) at the age of day 28, compared with that in CON group. The offspring pigs in the MD group had greater ADG (p < 0.05) and tended to lower F:G ratio (p = 0.07) compared with that of CON group from day 28 to 180 of age. The offspring pigs from MD group had greater serum IGF‐1 concentrations and expressions of hepatic IGF‐1 gene and muscular IGF‐1 receptor (IGF‐1r) protein at birth (p < 0.05), and greater hepatic IGF‐1 protein (p = 0.03) and muscular IGF‐1r gene expressions (p < 0.05) at slaughter, than that from the CON group. Moreover, the methylation at the promoter of IGF‐1 gene in the liver of newborn piglets and finishing pigs was greater in the MD group than that of the CON group (p < 0.05). In conclusion, maternal MD supplementation throughout gestation could enhance the birthweight and postnatal growth rate of offspring, associated with an increased expression of the IGF‐1 gene and IGF‐1r, as well as the altered DNA methylation of IGF‐1 gene promotor.

江苏省扬泰地区犬细小病毒分子流行病学调查

犬细小病毒（CPV）自1978年被首次分离到以来,已由CPV-2演化出CPV-2a、CPV-2b和CPV-2c 3种新抗原型。为了解江苏省扬泰地区的CPV分子特征和基因型,2015年5月至2016年12月在扬州和泰州地区宠物医院,根据患病犬临床症状以及CPV快速检测试纸条初步诊断结果,收集可疑病例的肛门棉拭子或粪便作为检测样品,扩增样本中CPV的VP2基因片段并对扩增产物进行测序和分析。结果显示：在48份样品中,4份被鉴定为CPV-2型,24份被鉴定为CPV-2a型,20份被鉴定为CPV-2b型,并未发现CPV-2c型。结果表明,该期间CPV-2a 型与CPV-2b型成为扬泰州地区的优势基因型,需开展这些新基因型的深入研究和防控。
