Genetic Engineering Approaches to Pig Production*

Modern biotechnology promises a number of new applications in animal breeding and production. Although conventional pig breeding has achieved a high level of efficiency and productivity numerous problems have been encountered with animal health and the loss of meat quality. Selection based on phenotypic performance data of individual animals does not take into account the importance of specific genes and their relevance within a complex regulatory system. In most cases it is therefore difficult to trace back the genetic origins of clinically important disorders. The application of genetic engineering techniques in pig production will facilitate diagnosis, improvement of productivity, and animal health by allowing direct genetic manipulation. Attention must be focussed on the physical and genetic analysis of the procine genome. The isolation and characterisation of genes, DNA-markers, polymorphic DNA-fragments, and their chromosomal assignment will be important prerequisites and tools for the elucidation of genetic disorders. Especially the detection of heterozygous carriers of recessive disorders and their elimination from the breeding stock will increase selection accuracy and decrease the generation intervals. But also the rapid and simple detection of infectious diseases, which is sometimes difficult if not impossible at present, will improve animal health and welfare. Although the production of transgenic animals either by DNA-microinjection into zygotes or the use of embryonal stem cells manipulated in vitro is less straightforward than DNA-based diagnosis it will play an important role in the direct manipulation of the porcine genome and genes. Breeding programmes including the use of transgenic livestock have already been developed. There is no doubt that genetic engineering has reached a degree of practical feasibility, allowing it to play an important role in pig breeding in particular and animal production in general.     

苹果酸处理水稻种子对秧苗根系及抗寒性影响的初探

水稻种子经苹果酸处理后,淀粉酶过氧化氢酶和脱氢酶活性均有提高。其幼苗根系发达,根/茎叶比重增加。幼苗经5C冷处理后,超氧化物歧化酶活性和叶绿素含量虽表现出下降,但明显高于对照。丙二醛含量和电解质渗漏率比对照为低。苹果酸处理在一定程度上提高了水稻秧苗素质及抗寒能力。     

表达HAV结构基因的重组腺病毒鉴定及细胞病变分析

利用RT-PCR方法,从HAV-L8株的RNA中扩增出结构基因(vp3 vp1),克隆到穿梭质粒pXCX2NotI上。采用磷酸钙-DNA共沉淀技术,将腺病毒载体pJM17与pXCX2-CMV-HAV共转染293细胞。在光学显微镜下观察到明显的细胞病变(CPE);经RT-PCR、免疫荧光染色和蛋白印迹鉴定证明HAV的结构基因已插入到腺病毒基因组中;在电子显微镜下观察发现有二十面体的病毒颗粒。以上结果表明获得了重组腺病毒rAdHAV,纯化后的rAdHAV滴度为1×109.0TCID50/mL。

大骨鸡中MSTN基因表达规律性的研究

本实验以大骨鸡为试材,采用RT-PCR法检测了MSTN基因在大骨鸡不同器官、不同时间的表达情况,结果表明MSTN基因在骨骼肌中表达水平较高,在心肌、肾脏、脑、肠、舌中也有微量表达,但在肺、肝脏中未检测出MSTNmRNA,而且在14日龄时表达水平明显低于35日龄和56日龄,而且在孵化后一周时胸肌中MSTN基因的表达水平达到最低。

试验从鸡东县永安猪场随机抽取迪卡配套系猪B系和E系42头，通过PCR扩增技术和酶切鉴定．采用克隆技术进行测序，来检测是否含有氟烷基因序列。经过以上技术检测这42头猪均没有氟烷基因。     

猪肺炎支原体黏附因子基因R1R2区的克隆及表达

根据GenBank登录的猪肺炎支原体232株P97基因和J株黏附因子基因设计了1对引物，以我国猪肺炎支原体Z株(强毒株)基因组DNA为模板，通过PCR方法扩增了该株黏附因子基因的部分序列。经序列分析后，重新设计了1对带有EcoRI和HindⅢ酶切位点的引物，并经引物的定点突变，PCR扩增了Z株黏附因子的R1R2区。扩增产物经双酶切后克隆到表达载体pET-32(a) 中。该重组质粒经酶切鉴定后，将其具有正确阅读框架的重组质粒转化到大肠杆菌BL21(DE3)感受态细胞，37℃下经IPTG诱导表达，得到相对分子质量约29000的融合蛋白，表达量约为11％。     

寄生虫的抗药性管理

抗药性在畜禽寄生虫中普遍存在，且具有一些共同的特征。了解这些共同特征将会为寄生虫的抗药性管理提供一些新观点、新思路。本文着重讨论了寄生虫的抗药性问题，并对其共同特征做了描述；同时也论述了寄生虫综合管理方案，旨在通过总结一种寄生虫的综合管理方案，为其他寄生虫病的控制开辟一条新途径。

马铃薯品种抗软腐病测定条件的研究

用全薯块吸头刺伤接种法测定时,较理想的测定条件为:每接种点接种0.1ml浓度为10~2～10~5CFU/ml菌悬液,随后在21±5℃～31±5℃(依所用菌株而定)下保持2～3天,以接种点腐烂斑的最大直径作记载标准。用新鲜薯片法测定时,除接种浓度为10~2～10~3CFU/ml,保持时间为1～2天及以侵染限值作评价标准外,其余条件和全薯块吸头刺伤接种法相同。当用皮孔浸渍法接种时,薯块在10_6CFU/ml菌悬液中浸5分钟,然后使薯块表面保持连续水膜,3～5天后测量薯块表面腐烂面积。上述3种方法都必须有20个以上重复,并使用大小一致、无伤无病的成熟薯块。
