Mating Systems and Reproductive Success in Hermaphroditic Bay Scallop,Argopecten irradians irradians (Lamarck 1819), Inferred by Microsatellite‐based Parentage Analysis

In this study, we used microsatellite‐based parentage analysis to assess the mating system of a mass spawning bay scallop, Argopecten irradians irradians. Parental assignment was performed on 237 offspring and 14 candidate parents. Overall, 95% of all offspring were unambiguously allocated to their putative parents based on information from six highly polymorphic loci. Offspring from both the self‐fertilization and cross‐fertilization style were observed, the large variation of self‐fertilization rate among individuals displays a mixed mode of mating. The high variances in reproductive success resulted in a decline in effective breeding numbers (N_b/N = 0.71). The self‐fertilization rate was 32.89% for this mass spawning and the coefficient of inbreeding was estimated at around 16.5% per generation. When selfed larvae were removed, the relationship between relatedness and individual reproductive success was proved insignificant between half‐sibings and unrelated, which suggest that selection pressures other than avoidance of inbreeding may be responsible for the evolution and maintenance of the self‐compatible mating system of A. i. irradians. These results lend insight to A. i. irradians cultivation in present China and provide a genetic basis for the development of more effective spawning techniques.     

闽台两地生态旅游资源等级区划分

应用投影寻踪技术与聚类分析相结合的数学手段,通过对福建、台湾的81个县(市、区)的数据处理,对森林景观资源进行了分类区划。结果表明:福建生态旅游资源大致由内陆向沿海递减,即由内陆到沿海分别为第一等级、第二等级、第三等级;台湾生态旅游资源由中部山脉向东西两岸递减,即中部第一等级,东部第二等级、西部第三等级,这与福建及台湾的生态资源的地理分布相似。     

ACC合酶cDNA克隆及其对美洲黑杨体内乙烯产生的反义抑制

利用ＲＴＰＣＲ技术克隆了大豆ＡＣＣ合酶基因ＧＭＣＡＣＣＳＩ编码区１５ｋｂ的ｃＤＮＡ片段,经酶切图谱分析和序列分析鉴定后,反向插入到２元载体ｐＢｉｎ４３８中,构建了表达ＡＣＣ合酶反义ＲＮＡ的植物表达载体,转化农杆菌后用该农杆菌侵染美洲黑杨叶片,在含卡那霉素的ＭＳ培养基上选择转化子和植株再生,通过ＰＣＲ检测从抗卡那植株中选到１５株转基因植株,Ｓｏｕｔｈｅｒｎ杂交分析初步确证了外源基因是以单拷贝插入到杨树基因组ＤＮＡ中;对杨树幼苗乙烯释放的测定结果表明转基因杨树幼苗的乙烯释放量为对照的２２％。     

在碱茅和芦苇草地中防除刺儿菜药物筛选试验结果

在碱茅和芦苇人工草地中喷施不同量的甲黄隆、绿黄隆和阔叶净均可有效防除有害杂草刺儿菜（Ｃｉｒｓｉｕｍｓｅｔａｓｕｍ）。刺儿菜的株防效和鲜重防效均与施药量呈正相关。以喷施甲黄隆（２５％）２２．５ｇ／ｈｍ２或绿黄隆（２５％）４．５ｇ／ｈｍ２最好．

Comparison of arylalkylamine N-acetyltransferase and melatonin receptor type 1B immunoreactivity between young adult and aged canine spinal cord

Melatonin affects diverse physiological functions through its receptor and plays an important role in the central nervous system. In the present study, we compared immunoreactivity patterns of arylalkylamine N-acetyltransferase (AANAT), an enzyme essential for melatonin synthesis, and melatonin receptor type 1B (MT2) in the spinal cord of young adult (2~3 years) and aged (10~12 years) beagle dogs using immunohistochemistry and Western blotting. AANAT-specific immunoreactivity was observed in the nuclei of spinal neurons, and was significantly increased in aged dog spinal neurons compared to young adult spinal neurons. MT2-specific immunoreactivity was found in the cytoplasm of spinal neurons, and was predominantly increased in the margin of the neuron cytoplasm in aged spinal cord compared to that in the young adult dogs. These increased levels of AANAT and MT2 immunoreactivity in aged spinal cord might be a feature of normal aging and associated with a feedback mechanism that compensates for decreased production of melatonin during aging.     

Molecular cloning and functional analysis of duck Toll-like receptor 5

Toll-like receptor 5 (TLR5) is responsible for the recognition of bacterial flagellin in vertebrates. In this study, we cloned the single-exon TLR5 gene of the Maya breed of Common Shelduck (Tadorna tadorna). The TLR5 open reading frame is 2580 bp in length and encodes an 859-amino acid protein. The putative amino acid sequence of duck TLR5 consisted of a signal peptide sequence, 11 leucine-rich repeat domains, a leucine-rich repeat C-terminal domain, a transmembrane domain, and an intracellular Toll-interleukin-1 receptor domain. The duck TLR5 gene was highly expressed in the lung, bone marrow, spleen, and liver; moderately expressed in kidney, small intestine, large intestine, and brain. A plasmid expressing duck TLR5 was constructed and transfected into HEK293T cells, and expression was confirmed by indirect immunofluorescence assay. HEK293T cells transfected with duck TLR5- and NF-κB-luciferase-containing plasmids significantly responded to flagellin from Salmonella typhimurium, indicating that it is a functional TLR5 homolog.
