Heat Shock Protein 70 and Sex Steroid Receptors in the Follicular Structures of Induced Ovarian Cysts

The purpose of this study was to estimate the expression and relative amounts of estrogen (ER) and progesterone receptors (PR) and their isoforms as well as heat shock protein 70 (HSP70) in ovaries of rats with induced cystic ovarian disease (COD). Primary, secondary, tertiary, atretic and cystic follicles were evaluated by immunohistochemistry and total ovarian proteins were analyzed by Western blot. In the granulosa layer, growing and cystic follicles in the treated group have a higher expression of ERα than growing follicles of control individuals. In the theca interna layer, tertiary follicles presented a significantly higher expression of ERα in the treated group. An increase in total ERα protein was detected in the treated group. Granulosa cells of all growing, atretic and cystic follicles show a lower expression of ERβ in animals with COD, and the total protein expression of ERβ was lower in this group. The expression of PR was lower in the granulosa cell layer of tertiary and cystic follicles in treated animals, and theca interna layer had less intense immunostaining in this group. Although there were no differences in the expression of PR-B by Western blotting, the expression of PR-A was higher and the expression of PR-C was smaller in the treated group. An intense HSP70 immunostaining was observed in the cells of cystic follicles. By Western blotting, higher protein expression of HSP70 was detected in the ovarian samples of the control group than those of the treated ones. Ovaries of animals with COD exhibited an altered steroid receptor expression and subtype balance as compared with control animals, and an increase in HSP70 immunoexpression.

水稻极晚抽穗期基因的鉴定和遗传分析

水稻抽穗期是重要的农艺性状。本研究以一个带有华粳籼74遗传背景的单片段代换系为试验材料,对水稻抽穗期基因进行评价,发现单片段代换系W06-26-35-1-5-2带有极晚抽穗期基因,在山东种植,抽穗期稳定且表现为晚抽穗。该代换系的代换区间为PSM152-PSM154-PSM155-RM25-RM547-RM72-RM404,在第8染色体上带有抽穗期基因qHD8-1。对该代换系与受体亲本华粳籼74杂交发展的F2分离群体的单株进行抽穗期鉴定,发现晚抽穗和早抽穗单株数符合3：1的分离比,说明晚抽穗为一个显性基因控制。     

水稻单片段代换系抽穗期QTL鉴定及遗传分析

适宜的抽穗期是水稻（Oryza sativa）获得理想产量的前提。本研究利用带有晚抽穗基因的单片段代换系（SSSL）为供体,华粳籼74为受体亲本,发展F2次级分离群体。通过t测验比较单片段代换系与受体亲本华粳籼74之间抽穗期的差异,同时对代换片段上的抽穗期QTL进行鉴定。以P≤10-6为阈值鉴定出抽穗期QTL,此QTL位于水稻的第6染色体。调查记录F2次级分离群体单株抽穗期,并对统计结果进行卡方（χ2）测验。结果显示,F1代单株表现为早抽穗,F2代早抽穗和迟抽穗植株数符合3∶1的分离比,早抽穗表现为显性。

Evidence of multiple divergent mitochondrial lineages within the southern African diplopod genus Bicoxidens Attems, 1928 (Spirostreptida)

Two recent studies have suggested that divergent mitochondrial lineages may be present within spirostreptid genera such as Bicoxidens Attems, 1928. Bicoxidens, similar to many other endemic soil invertebrates, exhibits low dispersal capabilities and strict microclimate habitat preferences, attributes that often lead to geographic isolation. Given that prolonged geographic isolation often lays the foundation for population genetic differentiation, genetic divergence and possibly speciation, there was good reason to suspect that Bicoxidens may consist of several distinct lineages. On this basis, the mitochondrial cytochrome c oxidase subunit 1 (COI) was used to reconstruct the phylogeny of Bicoxidens and reveal divergent lineages within the genus. Maximum likelihood and Bayesian inference analyses recovered a paraphyletic Bicoxidens phylogram with divergent lineages present in three species – B. friendi, B. flavicollis and B. brincki – suggesting high genetic diversity within the genus. Bayesian genetic cluster analyses suggested the presence of multiple distinct mitochondrial lineages within the genus with four identified in B. flavicollis alone. It was therefore concluded that the divergent lineages observed among Bicoxidens populations may suggest the presence of hidden species.
