Salmonella Gallinarum field isolates and its relationship to vaccine strain SG9R

1. The aim of the present study was to determine if the 9R-strain of the Salmonella Gallinarum live vaccine was responsible for having fowl typhoid outbreaks in chicken flocks from both chicken and turkey breeders as well as to verify the antimicrobial resistance of the isolates from the outbreaks.

2. The triplex polymerase chain reaction, standard antimicrobial test, beta-lactamase genes identification and Ion Torrent PMG whole-genome sequence were used in the field isolates and in the vaccine strain of S. Gallinarum.

3. The 60 tested isolates were not from vaccine origin and manifested high resistance to drugs from macrolide and quinolone groups. Whole-genome sequencing (WGS) and single nucleotide polymorphism analysis on selected isolates for core genes from Salmonella enterica confirmed the wild origin of these isolates and showed two possible sources of S. Gallinarum in the studied outbreaks.

4. S. Gallinarum isolated from fowl typhoid outbreaks in the studied period were not caused by the use of the SG9R live vaccine. The source of strains sequenced was diverse.     

The integration and insertion site of GbVe1 gene in the genome of transgenic cotton (Gossypium hirsutum)

[Objective] The aim of this study was to obtain the flanking sequences of T-DNA in the transgenic cotton containing a GbVe1 over-expression cassette. [Method] The T-DNA insertion copy number in the transgenic GbVe1 cotton was analyzed by southern blot. Flanking sequences of the transgenic lines with putative single T-DNA insertion copy were obtained using high-efficiency Thermal asymmetric interlaced polymerase chain reaction (hiTAIL-PCR). The T-DNA insertion sites were further confirmed by PCR with specific primers. [Result] RB-flanking sequences (119-1 018 bp) and LB-flanking sequences (243-516 bp) were obtained from three transgenic lines with low copy number of T-DNA insertion. The AT content was more than 63% in these flanking sequences. A same single insertion site in the intron of Gohir.D01G157600.1 was found in the two transgenic lines 7/100826-152 and 12/100826-393, while two separated insertion sites, one also in the intron of Gohir.-D01G157600.1 and the other in the intergenic region of A12 chromosome, were found in the transgenic line 1/w-ch14. A deletion of 21 bp was found in the insertion site in the intron of Gohir.D01G157600.1. The T-DNA insertion in the intron of Gohir.D01G157600.1 was further confirmed by the specific PCR. [Conclusion] The flanking sequences of T-DNA in the transgenic GbVe1 cotton were obtained and the specific transformation event in the intron of Gohir.D01G157600.1 was further confirmed by PCR.

Abstract：

In an attempt to elucidate the molecular mechanism for resistance of black spot disease in poplar,gene expression profiles in leaves of Populus deltoides'Lus'(I-69/55)and P.euramericana'I-45/51',which were inoculated with the pathogen Marssonina brunnea f.sp.brunnea,were analyzed based on expressed sequence tags (ESTs).A total of 20 023 valid ESTs from the 5'terminal ends derived from corresponding cDNA libraries of the two poplar species were sequenced.Cluster analysis of the 20 023 sequences yielded 10 816 tentative unigenes,including 3 734 contigs and 7 082 singletons.All tentative unigenes were classified by Gene Ontology functional categories.To find resistance-associated candidate genes and locate them on poplar genome,330 unigenes was chosen from 8 853 annotated tentative unigenes,and their BLAST alignment was conducted with Populus trichocarpa assembly,1 77 related candidate resistant genes were found,and they presented in 282 unigenes.Among these genes,there were 1 35 genes located on 18 different linkage groups of poplar genome,and 42 genes located on the different scaffolds.This study supplied a resource of candidate genes for further exploring the genetic mechanism for the host horizontal resistance to the pathogen Marssonina brunnea at the whole genome range,and provided important information for further gene discovery.
