粗山羊草高分子量谷蛋白亚基组成分析

为了发现能够用于小麦品质改良的优异高分子量谷蛋白亚基(HMW-GS),应用SDS-PAGE技术分析了47份粗山羊草Glu-Dt1位点的HMW-GS组成,分别检测到5种x-型亚基(1.1t、1t、1.5t、2t、3t)和4种y-型亚基(10.1t、11t、12t、12.4t).其中,1Dx1.1t是1种新的x-型亚基,它的迁移率比普通小麦的1Ax1亚基稍慢,这是目前在粗山羊草中发现的分子量最大的HMW-GS.供试粗山羊草中有8种HMW-GS组合类型:1.1t 11t、1t 11t、1.5t 12t、2t 10.1t、2t 11t、2t 12t、2t 12.4t和3t 11t.其中,1.1t 11t和2t 12.4t未见报道.

Transpiration response of two bread wheat lines differing in drought resilience and their backcross parent under dry-down conditions

Improving wheat productivity in drylands largely depends on how plants manage limited water resources. Using fraction of transpirable soil water threshold (FTSW_Th) and drought stress response function, we characterized the water conservation traits of two wheat multiple synthetic derivative lines (MSD53 and MSD345) which both contain introgressed segments from Aegilops tauschii but differ in drought resilience. The lines and their backcross parent, ‘Norin 61’, were subjected to dry-down conditions. MSD53 had a higher FTSW_Th for transpiration decrease than ‘Norin 61’ and MSD345. In terms of drought stress response function, MSD53 had the lowest threshold suction, suggesting a lower drought resilience capacity compared with MSD345. However, MSD53 exhibited an effective-water-use trait whereas MSD345 exhibited a water-saving trait under dry-down conditions. These results are consistent with the reported higher yield of MSD53 in comparison with MSD345 under drought stress in Sudan, and demonstrate that high FTSW_Th supports effective water use for improved agricultural productivity in drylands. The differences in water conservation traits between the two MSD lines may be attributed to variation in introgressed segments, which can be further explored for drought resilience breeding.     

节节麦防除药剂及其增效助剂筛选

为筛选能有效防除节节麦Aegilops tauschii的除草剂及助剂,通过室内盆栽法评价11种除草剂对节节麦的防除效果,分析比较15种不同助剂对其中2种除草剂甲基二磺隆和异丙隆的增效作用,并明确其最适配比。结果显示,在供试11种除草剂中,甲基二磺隆和异丙隆对节节麦具有较的好防除效果,当其施药量分别为13、1 000 g（a.i.）/hm²时,对节节麦的鲜重抑制率分别达68.40%和76.46%,其余9种除草剂的防除效果较差,鲜重抑制率在4.62%~35.95%之间;筛选到对甲基二磺隆有显著增效作用的2种助剂——乙基和甲基酯植物油、有机硅408,其最适用量分别为甲基二磺隆喷液量的0.5%和0.2%（体积比）,增效分别为15.21%和26.52%;筛选到对异丙隆有显著增效作用的3种助剂——异十三醇聚氧乙烯醚、聚醚改性七甲基三硅氧烷、乙基和甲基酯植物油,其最适用量分别为异丙隆喷液量的0.1%、0.05%、0.25%（体积比）,增效分别为26.24%、21.80%和25.99%。表明甲基二磺隆、异丙隆可用于防除节节麦,添加助剂可进一步提高其对节节麦的防除效果。

小伞山羊草染色体的FISH核型分析

采用荧光原位杂交(Fluorescence in Situ Hybridization,FISH)技术分析小伞山羊草染色体的核型特点。结果表明,小伞山羊草共包含7对染色体,其中1 U和5 U染色体各含有1对随体。分别以Oligo-pSc 119.2-1(绿色)与(GAA)7(红色)重复序列为探针对小伞山羊草根尖细胞染色体进行FISH分析,发现Oligo-pSc-119.2-1信号主要分布在染色体的端部及近端部,不同染色体之间的信号强度有所差别。(GAA)7信号主要集中于染色体着丝点附近,不但比Oligo-pSc-119.2-1信号的亮度高,分布丰富,而且在染色体上的分布可与Oligo-pSc-119.2-1信号互补。因此,同时采用Oligo-pSc-119.2-1与(GAA)72种探针能准确地辨别小伞山羊草的每对染色体,建立了小伞山羊草的FISH核型。

Genetic characterization of kernel polyphenol oxidases in wheat and related species

Polyphenol oxidase (PPO) activity causes undesirable darkening of raw Asian noodles and other wheat products. In this study we investigate the genetic origins and diversity of wheat kernel PPO. PPO was characterized via activity assays, antigenic staining, and Southern blots in Triticum aestivum, Triticum dicoccoides, Triticum durum, Triticum dicoccum, Triticum monococcum, Triticum urartu, Aegilops speltoides, and Aegilops tauschii. Among these species, PPO activity was well-correlated with antigenic staining intensity toward a wheat kernel-type PPO antibody. High PPO activity was observed in all three T. monococcum accessions (A^m genome), one Ae. speltoides accession, one T. durum accession, and two hexaploid wheat cultivars. Southern blots suggested the presence of two or more kernel-type PPO genes in diploid progenitors of the hexaploid A, B, and D genomes. Whole-kernel PPO activity was evaluated in disomic substitution lines derived from three T. dicoccoides accessions in the background of T. durum ‘Langdon’. PPO activity was primarily associated with chromosome 2A and to a much lower degree with chromosome 2B. DNA sequence comparisons showed that the intron associated with the high PPO allele on chromosome 2AL of hexaploid wheat had 94% nucleotide identity with the homeologous intron found in T. monococcum, a species with high kernel PPO activity. This implies that the ancestral PPO allele on the A genome is one of the high activity, and the low PPO allele found in hexaploid wheat represents a relatively recent genetic alteration. Results confirm the presence of multiple kernel-type PPO genes in the diploid and tetraploid progenitors and relatives of hexaploid wheat. However, it is likely that relatively few of the many kernel-type PPO genes present in wheat contribute substantially to kernel PPO activity. A single genetic locus on homeologous group 2 chromosomes may be the primary cause of high PPO activity in wheat kernels.     

Allelic variation of the HMW glutenin subunits in Aegilops tauschii accessions detected by sodium dodecyl sulphate (SDS-PAGE), acid polyacrylamide gel (A-PAGE) and capillary electrophoresis

Variability of high molecular weight glutenin subunits (HMW-GS) was studied in198 accessions of Ae. Tauschii (2n=2x=14, DD) by sodium dodecyl sulphate(SDS-PAGE) and acid polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (A-PAGE) and capillary electrophoresis (CE). A high allelic variation of HMW-GS, including some novel x- and y-type subunits and variable subunit combinations were observed. One accession(TD159) showed a x-type null form. The results by A-PAGE analysis revealed that the subunits Dx5 ^t and Dy10 ^t encoded by Glu-D ^t 1 locus in Ae. tauschii were different in relative mobilities in comparison with the subunits Dx5 and Dy10 found in bread wheats, whereas they had the same mobilities, respectively, when separated by SDS-PAGE. The higher resolution of Ae. tauschii HMW-GS separated by CE method showed two clear peaks in accordance with x- and y-type subunits, respectively,except the accession TD151 which possessed only subunit Dy12.1^*t. The electro elution time of the x-type and y-type subunits were about 13–14 and 7–8minutes, respectively. Characterization of wheat HMW-GS was facilitated by using CE which provides high resolution and increases the speed of analysis in conjunction with the traditional gel electrophoretic methods. A total of 42HMW-GS alleles were identified, among which were several alleles not presently detected in bread wheats. Hence Ae. tauschii is potentially a valuable genetic resource for quality improvement of bread wheat.

节节麦pbf基因的克隆、序列分析及原核表达

醇溶蛋白盒结合因子(prolamin-box binding factor,PBF)通过调控籽粒蛋白的表达效率进而影响面粉的加工品质。为给深入研究小麦籽粒PBF对籽粒蛋白质表达调控的分子基础提供参考依据,进而为小麦面粉加工品质的改良提供候选基因资源,利用特异引物组合pbfF1/pbf R1分别从两份节节麦(AS90、AS2386)中克隆出pbf基因后进行序列分析,并进一步构建pbf基因的原核表达体系。结果表明,从两份节节麦中克隆得到了2个不同类型的pbf基因(GenBank登录号分别为KJ544771和KJ544772),其中来源于AS2386的KJ544772与来源于普通六倍体小麦的1个pbf基因序列完全相同。推导的氨基酸序列分析表明,KJ544771和KJ544772所编码的蛋白质均为弱碱性的亲水蛋白,具有典型的DOF蛋白结构域。与其他远缘物种来源的PBF比对结果表明,该类蛋白在NLS核心、DOF结构域及Ser铰链区相对保守,而在C-端调控区变异较大,说明PBF蛋白具有种属特异性。同时,系统演化树显示,来源于节节麦AS2386的pbf基因与迄今已知的全部普通小麦的pbf基因具有高度的相似性,因此推测该种类型的节节麦很可能参与了最初的普通六倍体小麦的形成。此外,本研究成功构建了pbf基因的原核表达体系,可为后续功能验证的开展奠定基础。
