Whole genome sequence analysis to detect signatures of positive selection for high fecundity in sheep

Ovulation rate and prolificacy are the most important reproductive traits that have major impact on the efficiency of lamb meat production. Here, we compared the whole genomes of the Romanov sheep, known as one of the high prolific breeds, and four other sheep breeds namely Assaf, Awassi, Cambridge and British du cher, to identify genetic mechanisms underlying prolificacy in sheep. Selection signature analysis revealed 637 and 477 protein‐coding genes under positive selection from F_ST and nucleotide diversity (Pi) statistics, respectively. Further analysis showed that several candidate genes including LEPR, PDGFRL and KLF5 genes are involved in sheep prolificacy. The identified candidate genes in the selected regions are novel and provide new insights into the genetic mechanisms underlying prolificacy in sheep and can be useful in sheep breeding programmes to develop improved breeds for high reproductive efficiency.

十六个樱桃番茄品种果实风味品质相关指标比较分析

采用高效液相色谱(HPLC)等技术手段,对目前生产上16个主栽樱桃番茄(Solanum lycopersicum Mill. var. cerasiforme)品种的风味评分及相关指标进行测定和比较分析,解析决定樱桃番茄风味的主要影响因素。研究表明,相比其他风味相关指标,不同番茄品种间柠檬酸、苹果酸、V_c和氨基酸含量的差异较大。16个参试品种中,浙江省农业科学院蔬菜研究所的浙樱粉1号、浙樱黄1号,日本金子种苗株式会社的黄妃,及山东省农业科学院蔬菜研究所的天正红珠风味评分排名前4,以上品种的7项风味及营养决定指标参数(可溶性固形物、总糖、有机酸、果糖、葡萄糖、柠檬酸和V_c)均显著高于风味评价排名后4名的参试番茄品种。进一步的相关性分析结果表明,风味评分与可溶性固形物、总糖、有机酸、果糖、葡萄糖和V_c含量显著正相关,而与糖酸比等复合参数无显著相关性。由上述结果可知,番茄风味品质的主要指标为可溶性固形物、总糖(果糖+葡萄糖)、有机酸(主要是柠檬酸)和V_c。此外,氨基酸作为传统意义上的营养物质,可能与番茄风味存在一定关联。

上海市水产品比较优势研究

改革开放以来，上海渔业经济的发展取得了巨大成就，但上海也为此付出了巨大代价：一是许多宝贵的水产资源逐渐衰竭；二是水产养殖导致了环境污染。上海如果要实现渔业的可持续发展，就必须注意搞好渔业产业结构的布局，发展自己的比较优势产业。文章针对如何确定上海渔业比较优势的问题详细介绍了用国内资源成本测定水产品比较优势的方法，并运用该方法测算了上海主要水产品的比较优势，旨在为上海市渔业生产结构的调整提供一定的参考和依据。     

Comparative genome analysis reveals a distinct influence of nucleotide composition on virus–host species‐specific interaction of prawn‐infecting nodavirus

Discovery of species‐specific interaction between the host and virus has drawn the interest of many researchers to study the evolution of the newly emerged virus. Comparative genome analysis provides insights of the virus functional genome evolution and the underlying mechanisms of virus–host interactions. The analysis of nucleotide composition signified the evolution of nodavirus towards host specialization in a host‐specific mutation manner. GC‐rich genome of betanodavirus was significantly deficient in UpA and UpU dinucleotides composition, whilst the AU‐rich genome of gammanodavirus was deficient in CpG dinucleotide. The capsid of MrNV and PvNV of gammanodavirus retains the highest abundance of adenine and uracil at the second codon position, respectively, which were found to be very distinctive from the other genera. ENC‐GC3 plot inferred the influence of natural selection and mutational pressure in shaping the evolution of MrNV RdRp and capsid, respectively. Furthermore, CAI/eCAI analysis predicts a comparable adaptability of MrNV in squid, Sepia officinalis than its natural host, Macrobrachium rosenbergii. Thus, further study is warranted to investigate the capacity of MrNV replication in S. officinalis owing to its high codon adaptation index.     

创伤弧菌物种特异性检测靶标基因的发掘及评价

实验根据GenBank公布的细菌全基因组数据,采用比较基因组学分析创伤弧菌与其它细菌基因组间的差异,筛选出34个潜在的创伤弧菌物种特异性检测靶标基因,其中VV1_2692、VV2_0075和VV2_0939这3个基因已有功能注释.常规PCR扩增结果显示这3个基因均具有良好的特异性和灵敏度.进而以这3个基因和传统靶基因vvhA作为检测靶标,采用常规PCR技术检测来自杭州市农贸市场的137份海产品中创伤弧菌,发现VV2_0075、VV2_0939和vvhA基因的检测结果与传统生化鉴定方法一致,表明新发掘的VV2_0075和VV2_0939基因在对海产品中创伤弧菌检测时具有很好的稳定性和很强的抗干扰能力.在137份海产品中创伤弧菌的检出率为28.5％,其中牡蛎的检出率最高(68％),表明杭州市农贸市场售卖的海产品,尤其是牡蛎中的创伤弧菌污染现状严重,应加强对杭州市海产品中创伤弧菌污染状况的监测.
