The atp6 is a significant candidate gene that may be related to cytoplasmic male sterility (CMS) in higher plants. In this study, atp6 gene fragments were cloned from the CMS line and its maintainer line in bunching onion. The primers were designed according to sequences obtained from GenBank accession no. JQ283733. An important variation between the CMS and maintainer line was observed at the 171T and 171A position, respectively. The atp6 genes obtained from the CMS line had 171T mutations designated as T-atp6 (GenBank accession no. KR973431), and the maintainer line had 171A mutations designated as A-atp6 (GenBank accession no. KR973430). Furthermore, some plants in the maintainer line possessed both 171A and 171T mutations designated as heteroplasmic genotype A/T-atp6. To confirm this point mutation site, the derived cleaved amplified polymorphic sequence (dCAPS) method was used. Consequently, we developed a competitive allele-specific PCR (KASP) marker based on the observed single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the atp6 genes. This marker will allow breeders to identify male-sterile or fertile cytoplasmic types on a large scale and may significantly contribute to the breeding of bunching onion F1 hybrid cultivars. 相似文献
School grounds can have multiple values, and especially sufficient size, green elements, variation, integrated design and participatory development have been described as positive qualities. However, many studies have focused on pre-school and primary school grounds, while less is known about school grounds for adolescents. This study explored how secondary school students experience and use school grounds of varying size, content and design. The study included one class in year 8 (aged 14–15) at each of three schools in southern Sweden. A questionnaire with mainly open questions was distributed, followed by both individual interviews and walking interviews with four students from each class. The results show that school grounds were appreciated, but also that many chose to stay indoors. Large surface area and varied content, with ball courts, greenery, seating and multifunctional equipment, were valued, but a school ground design with integrated and pleasant settings, allowing socialising and activities, particularly support use by secondary school students. 相似文献
1. The present study was conducted to investigate whether brain somatostatin increases feed intake in neonatal chickens. The mediating role of neuropeptide Y receptors on feed intake induced by somatostatin was investigated.
2. In this study, seven experiments were designed, each with four treatment groups (n = 44 in each experiment). In Experiment 1, chicks received control solution and 0.5, 1 and 2 nmol of somatostatin through intracerebroventricular (ICV) injection. In experiments 2, 3 and 4, chickens were ICV injected with control solution and 1.25, 2.5 and 5 μg of B5063 (NPY1 receptor antagonist), SF22 (NPY2 receptor antagonist) and SML0891 (NPY5 receptor antagonist), respectively. In experiment 5, 6 and 7 chickens received ICV injection of B5063, SF22, SML0891, with a co-injection of + somatostatin, control solution and somatostatin. The cumulative feed intake was measured until 120 min post injection.
3. Somatostatin significantly increased feed intake in FD3 chicks. Both B5063 and SML0891 dose-dependently decreased feed intake compared with the control group, while SF22 led to a dose-dependent increase in feed intake. In addition, the hyperphagic effect of somatostatin significantly decreased with co-injection of B560 plus somatostatin (p < 0.05), but SF22 and SML0891 had no effect on feed intake induced by somatostatin in chicks (p > 0.05).
4. Based on the results of this study, it is likely that somatostatin increased feed intake and NPY1 receptor acts as a mediator in hyperphagic effect of somatostatin in neonatal chicks. 相似文献
