Effects of glandular trichomes on the development of Phytophthora infestans infection in potato (S. tuberosum)

S. berthaulltii Hawkes, a wild potato species, possesses two types of glandular trichomes on its leaf surface: types A and B wich confer resistance to insects. Preliminary results indicated that the presence of glandular trichomes also confers resistance to Phytophthora infestans, the causal agent of late blight. In this paper we report the evaluation of trichome characteristics (density and exudate activities) performed on 8 lines of potato, including the control varieties Desirée and Tropicana, 5 hybrid lines derived from intercrosses and backcrosses between S. tuberosum and S. berthaultii and one accession of S. berthaultii. Whole plants of the 8 genotypes were inoculated with a spore suspension of Phytophthora infestans in order to evaluate their resistance to late blight. The resultant disease incidence correlated negatively with type A trichome density and with polyphenol-oxidase (PPO) activity of type A trichome glands. The removal of type B trichomes exudate by leaf dipping in ethanol did not influence the disease development after artificial inoculation of detached leaves. Type B trichome exudate was extracted and the fraction corresponding to Fatty Acids Sucrose Esters (FASE) was recovered after Thin Layer Chromatography and tested on the fungal mycelium in vitro. The FASE exhibited a slight inhibitory effect on mycelium growth. The results of the experiments are discussed, and several hypotheses regarding the possible role of types A and B trichomes are formulated. This revised version was published online in July 2006 with corrections to the Cover Date.     

Molecular phylogeny of the apterygotan insects based on nuclear and mitochondrial genes

Basal hexapodan orders (Apterygota) are traditionally divided in two well defined taxonomic groups, Entognatha and Ectognatha. Entognathy (the enclosed mouthparts condition) is considered the most distinctive character joining the Ellipura (Protura+ Collembola) with the order Diplura, whereas the presence of exposed mouthparts (ectognathy) is the feature shared by Microcoryphia and Zygentoma with the pterygote insects. In spite of the growing interest for the evolutionary history of the Apterygota, there is no complete agreement among the general phylogenetic hypotheses based on the study of morphological characters. In this study we analyzed the DNA sequence of segments of the nuclear Elongation Factor-1α(EF-1α) and of the mitochondrial 12S rRNA genes, and used different methods of phylogenetic reconstruction. The 12S gene seems to be more suited than the EF-1α to resolve some of the most outstanding systematic disputes, whereas the lack of resolution at the deeper nodes does not allow to assess the phylogenetic relationships within Microcoryphia and between ectognathan orders. We have obtained a fairly high support for the monophyly of the orders Diplura and Zygentoma. In the 12S analysis, the Ellipura and the Entognatha form monophyletic assemblages. In addition, the study of the distribution of introns in the EF-1α suggests a relationship between Collembola and Diplura.

Theoretical Analysis on 13-Bit Lattice Gas Automata Model with Poly-velocity and its Simulation

An 13 bit lattice gas automata model has been investigated from fluid discrete dynamics. By gaining the moment equations from lattice Boltzmann equation and using Chapman Enskog expansion, the fluid dynamics equation and energy equation of 13 bit lattice gas automata model with polyvelocity have been deduced. The validity of the model using for non isothermal fluid dynamics has been proved . Finally, simulation results for non isothermal flow pass plate have been shown

我国主要养殖罗非鱼的16S rRNA序列特征分析

对我国主要养殖的尼罗、奥利亚、莫桑比克、杂交种尼奥（尼罗♀×奥利亚♂）和红罗非鱼（莫桑比克×尼罗）的线粒体16S rRNA部分序列进行了PCR扩增和测序分析,探讨罗非鱼种间亲缘关系和种类鉴别标记。PCR产物经直接测序,5种罗非鱼中大部分个体均获得长546 bp的基因序列。其碱基组成GC含量为47.4%。序列比对分析显示变异位点18个,没有插入/缺失位点,转换/颠换比率为2.7。序列分析表明,红和奥利亚各有2个单倍型,尼奥、莫桑比克与尼罗各有1个单倍型。其中,尼奥与尼罗的单倍型序列相同,莫桑比克与红罗非鱼的1个单倍型序列相同。表明部分红罗非鱼的母本为莫桑比克。UPGMA聚类分析表明,尼奥与尼罗聚成一支、红罗非鱼与莫桑比克成一支、奥利亚独成一支。     

Classification of Tomicus Species

Both morphological characters and a portion of of 28S rDNA sequences were used to identifying Tomicus species.The specimens were classed into groups with the following characters: 1) granules or punctures on interstria 2 on the declivity of the elytra;2) length of the elytral interstrial hairs and hairs arising from punctures;3) arrangement of pronotal punctures and hairs.These characters could be clearly examined under a binocular microscope at 30×magnification and they were applicable and valuable for the forest entomologists to identify Tomicus species.The phylogenetic tree established with difference in 28S rDNA sequence of D2 region revealed that the specimens of each group identified by morphological characters were also grouped together.The genetic distances of intra-species, inter-species and inter-genus were not overlapped. Genetic divergence of 28S rDNA was also useful for identifying Tomicus species.
