鉴别丁香假单胞菌丁香致病变种和豌豆致病变种的 DNA 探针的制备

把引起豌豆枯萎病的丁香假单胞菌丁香致病变种 Pseudomonas syringae pv.syringae 菌株3319和丁香假单胞菌豌豆致病变种 P.syringae pv.pisi 的模式菌株2452的染色体 DNA 分别用限制性核酸内切酶 HindⅢ完全消化,再用 T_4DNA 连接酶把消化好的 DNA 片段连接到用HindⅢ内切酶消化的质粒载体 pUC19上,然后把重组的质粒载体转化到大肠杆菌(E.coli RR1)中去克隆.把菌株3319和2452的 DNA 用 p~(32)标记做成探针,分别与克隆菌落杂交,筛选出只对菌株3319的 DNA 有特异性的1个重组 DNA 的克隆和对菌株2452的 DNA 有特异性的2个重组 DNA 克隆.再把这3个重组质粒 DNA 分别用 P~(32)标记做成探针,与菌株3319和2452的 DNA 杂交,也显示只对各自 DNA 来源的菌株具有特异性.这3个重组质粒中,有2个携带有菌株2452的 DNA 片段,1个为0.82 kb。另1个略小于0.58 kb,还有1个质粒携带有菌株3319的 DNA 片段,为0.85 kb.     

Seasonal Changes in Testicular Cell Morphology in Domestic Male Cats (Felis catus)

The aim of this study was to asses the variation in the morphology of the seminal epithelium in relation to natural photoperiod in male cats. Tom cats (n = 240) were castrated every other week throughout the year. Each testis was fixed in Bouin's solution and cut into sections. The percentage of tubules with round spermatids (RS), elongated spermatids (ES), tailed spermatids (TS), mature spermatids (MS) and the number of Sertoli cells (SC) and Leydig cells (LC) were recorded in each sample. Testicles from males during short days (SHD) had a higher percentage of tubules with RS and ES compared to testicles from males during long days (LHD, 31.3 ± 0.6 vs 2.1 ± 0.6%, p < 0.001; 30.9 ± 0.7 vs 11.0 ± 0.7%, p < 0.001). Conversely, testicles from males during SHD had a lower percentage of tubules with TS and MS compared to testicles from males during LHD (24.5 ± 0.8 vs 29.7 ± 0.8%, p < 0.01; 13.1 ± 1.2 vs 57.0 ± 1.2%, p < 0.01). Furthermore, testicles from males during SHD had a higher number of SC and lower number of LC compared to testicles from males during LHD (11.4 ± 0.1 vs 8.0 ± 0.1%, p < 0.01; 19.2 ± 1.0 vs 38.0 ± 1.0%, p < 0.01). In conclusion, there are seasonal changes in testis cell morphology in the tom which may be related to seasonal sperm production.
