大豆脂肪酸脱氢酶GmFAD3C-1基因的克隆及功能分析

研究通过对大豆脂肪酸脱氢酶GmFAD3家族中4个关键酶基因序列进行比对,与对照JN18相比,大豆低亚麻酸突变体MT72中GmFAD3C-1基因在起始密码子后+966bp处存在一个碱基位点的缺失（G→?）,产生移码突变,导致氨基酸序列上产生较大变化（该突变基因命名为gmfad3c-1）。构建GmFAD3C-1基因超表达及CRISPR/Cas9编辑载体,利用花粉管通道法获得T₂转化植株。脂肪酸脱氢酶酶活测定结果显示,超表达植株T₂籽粒中,酶活与对照相比上升47.62%~78.85%,编辑载体T₂籽粒中,酶活与对照相比下降25.67%~47.11%。脂肪酸相对含量测定的结果进一步表明,GmFAD3C-1基因的表达与植株亚麻酸含量密切相关。     

人泛素结合酶UbcH5c活性突变体的构建·纯化以及催化活性研究

[目的]构建人泛素结合酶UbcH5c的活性位点突变体S22R和F62A,同时分析这2种突变体蛋白与野生型蛋白在泛素化反应中的活性差异。[方法]通过点突变(Site-Directed Mutagenesis)的方法构建2种突变体质粒,利用0.5 mmol/L IPTG分别诱导2种突变体蛋白在大肠杆菌中进行表达;将菌体超声破碎后,依次利用阳离子交换层析法对UbcH5c突变蛋白进行分离纯化,最后利用体外泛素化酶促反应结合蛋白免疫印迹杂交的方法分析野生型UbcH5c与其活性突变体UbcH5c S22R和UbcH5c F62A在泛素化修饰上的差异。[结果]人泛素结合酶UbcH5c的2个突变体蛋白S22R、F62A的泛素化修饰程度明显弱于野生型蛋白。[结论]突变体S22R和F62A突变均不同程度的改变了人泛素结合酶UbcH5c与泛素分子之间的结合活性,即2个突变的位点中第62位苯丙氨酸残基及第22位丝氨酸残基均是UbcH5c结合泛素的关键位点,而且后者对于UbcH5c结合泛素活性的影响更大。

Cloning and Expression of Gene Responsible for High-Tillering Dwarf Phenotype in Indica Rice Mutant gsor23

High-tillering dwarf mutant gsor23 was generated from an indica rice variety Indica9 radiatied by γ-ray. Genetic analysis showed that this phenotype was controlled by one single recessive gene, which was mapped within a physical distance of 386 kb between two insertion-deletion (InDel) markers C1-WT2 and C1-WT4 on the long arm of chromosome 1. There is a known gene D10 within this region, the mutation of which causes high-tillering in rice. Sequence analysis of the D10 allele in gsor23 revealed that the base cytosine (C) at the 404^th position in the coding region was deleted, which would cause frameshift mutation after the 134^th amino acids. The mutation site and indica background of gsor23 were different from the previously reported japonica mutants d10-1 and d10-2. Therefore, gsor23 is a novel allelic mutant of D10 which encodes the carotenoid-cleaving dioxygenase 8 (CCD8), a key enzyme involved in the biosynthesis of the new plant hormone strigolactones (SLs). After treatment with GR24, a synthetic analogue of SLs, the high-tillering phenotype of gsor23 was restored to normal. Real-time RT-PCR analysis showed that D10 expression was high in roots, but low in leaves. Compared with the wild type Indica9, the expression of the SL biosynthesis gene D10 was upregulated, while genes likely involved in the SL signal transduction pathway such as D3 and D14 were down-regulated in the gsor23 mutant.     

RNAi技术概述

RNAi(RNA interference)是指外源性双链RNA(dsRNA)能抑制细胞内与其序列同源的基因的表达。在进化上,这可能是生物调控基因表达及抵御病毒侵染或转座子诱导DNA突变的一种共有的生理机制。本文对RNAi技术进行介绍。

番茄对晚疫病的株龄相关抗性及Ph-3的抗性机制

目前已明确番茄抗晚疫病R基因表现明显的株龄相关抗性(Age-related Resistance,ARR),但抗晚疫病QTL的抗性规律尚不明确。以携带抗晚疫病基因Ph-3的栽培种番茄(Solanum lycopersicum)‘CLN2037B’和野生种醋栗番茄(S.pimpinellifolium)‘L3708’以及易感病材料栽培种番茄(S.lycopersicum)‘LA2818’为对照,对含有抗晚疫病QTL的多毛番茄(S.habrochaites)‘LA2099’、‘LA1033’和‘LA1777’是否也存在株龄相关抗性进行了分析。结果表明,携带抗晚疫病QTL的3个材料的6叶期和9叶期植株病情级数均比3叶期明显降低,表明QTL抗性与株龄相关。利用乙烯、水杨酸和茉莉酸素合成或缺失的突变体和病毒诱导基因沉默(Virus Induced Gene Silencing,VIGS)技术,初步明确了乙烯和水杨酸参与6叶期Ph-3基因介导的对晚疫病的抗性,而茉莉酸不参与。     

Inheritance of high palmitic acid content in the sunflower mutant CAS-12 and its relationship with high oleic content

CAS‐12 is a sunflower mutant with increased levels of palmitic (C16: 0 = 30%) and oleic (C18: 1 = 55%) acids in its seed oil, hence it has a reduced linoleic acid content (C18: 2 < 5%). This study was conducted to determine the inheritance of high C16: 0 content and its relationship with high C18: 1 content in CAS‐12. Reciprocal crosses involving CAS‐12, CAS‐5 (high C16: 0 content), HAOL‐9 (high C18: 1 content) and HA‐89 (standard fatty acid profile) were made. The F₁, F₂ and BC₁F₁ generations were obtained. The genetic control of the high C16: 0 trait in CAS‐12 was partially recessive and gametophytic. In all cases, this character segregated in the ratio 19: 38: 7 (low: intermediate: high C16: 0 content) in the F₂ generation. These results, together with the lack of segregation for C16: 0 content in crosses between CAS‐12 and CAS‐5, indicated that the genetic control of the high C16: 0 trait in CAS‐12 was similar to that in CAS‐5 in being controlled by partially recessive alleles (p1, p2, and p3) at three loci. Crosses between HA‐89 and CAS‐12, and HAOL‐9 and CAS‐5 (segregating for C16: 0 and C18: 1) demonstrated that the high C16: 0 and the high C18: 1 traits were independently inherited. However, C18: 1 segregation in these crosses exhibited reversal of dominance. Apparently, the low C18: 1 parental lines carried modifier genes causing the deviation.     

Production of a Trisomic Series in Hordeum vulgare cv. 'Golden Promise' and its Use in Locating a Recessive Chlorina Gene

A trisomic series was produced from a triploid plant of barley (Hordeum vulgare L. cv. ‘Golden Promise’) derived from tissue culture. Its characteristics are briefly described and compared with two trisomic series reported previously. Trisomic number 1 performed poorly under glasshouse conditions. Number 2 failed to set any seed after selfing and must be maintained by pollinating with ‘Golden Promise’. The series was subsequently used to locate a recessive chlorina gene on barley chromosome 3.
