Doubled-haploid versus single-seed descent and S1-family variation for testcross performance in a maize population

Progress made in the in situ gynogenesis technique since 1990 now allows production of a high number of maize (Zea mays L.) doubled-haploid (DH) lines. The aim of the study was to compare DH lines versus selfing lines for testcross performance. DH and single-seed descent (SSD) lines were produced from random S₁ progenies of a broad-base population. For grain yield, kernel moisture, plant height, ear height and leaf length, the three population means were similar. Except for kernel moisture, the genetic variance of DH lines was nearly twice as high as the genetic variance of S₁ families, as expected. On the other hand, genetic variance among SSD lines was only 1.5 times higher than the genetic variance of S₁ families. This lower variance could be due to a selection bias in the method of production of SSD lines. However, for all traits, heritability of SSD or DH lines was higher than heritability of S₁ families. Epistasis effects in DH progenies were not significant. The consequence was a high correlation between S₁ testcross progenies and DH or SSD testcross progenies, meaning that the S₁ testcross value can be used to select the best families from which DH lines will be extracted. As a whole, the observed variation in DH lines appeared to be more in accordance with the observed variation among S₁ families than with the observed variation among SSD lines.

1-MCP对苹果果皮酚类物质及其抗氧化活性的影响

1-MCP(1-甲基环丙烯)作为乙烯作用抑制剂,已经在果品保鲜中广泛应用。大量研究表明,多酚类化合物是果实中重要的抗氧化剂成分,是反映果实品质的重要指标之一。1-MCP使用后是否影响苹果果实中多酚类物质的含量及抗氧化活性尚未见报道。试材‘红星’苹果于商业采摘期(2005-09-04)采自泰安市郊区果园。分别使用0·2和0·5μL·L-1的1-MCP处理果实,无1-MCP处理的为对照。每周取样1次,随机取15个果实,测定果皮中类黄酮(碱性硝酸铝法)、多酚(Folin-Ciocalteu法)的含量及对DPPH·(2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl radical)、ABTS· 〔2,2-…     

猫泛白细胞减少症病毒北京株NS1基因克隆与生物信息学分析

为分析猫泛白细胞减少症病毒（FPV）北京株（FPV-BJ 05株）NS1基因的分子特征及其编码蛋白的生物学功能,本研究对FPV-BJ 05株NS1基因进行PCR扩增、克隆及序列测定。应用生物信息学软件分析FPV-BJ 05株与GenBank上登录的11株FPV参考株NS1基因的同源性,并预测NS1蛋白理化性质、信号肽、跨膜结构、B细胞抗原表位、磷酸化位点、亚细胞定位及蛋白结构与功能、高级结构等。结果显示,NS1基因全长2 007 bp,编码668个氨基酸,且与其他FPV分离株NS1基因核苷酸序列同源性为98.8%~99.3%,氨基酸序列同源性为97.9%~98.8%。系统进化树分析结果显示,FPV-BJ 05株NS1蛋白与GenBank上登录的3株FPV参考株处于同一大分支,但由于氨基酸的突变导致其属于独立的一小分支。NS1蛋白既无信号肽也无跨膜结构域,属于非分泌型的疏水性蛋白。B细胞抗原表位预测结果显示,NS1蛋白柔韧性较好,抗原性及表面可及性较高,预测该蛋白含有13个优势抗原位点。修饰结构预测表明,NS1蛋白含有62个潜在磷酸化位点,27个O-糖基化位点和2个N-糖基化位点。亚细胞定位结果显示,NS1蛋白在细胞质和细胞核的概率较高,分别为69.6%和17.4%。NS1蛋白二级结构中α-螺旋、延伸链、无规则卷曲和β-转角分别占39.37%、15.42%、39.37%和5.84%。应用在线软件SWISS-Modle对NS1蛋白进行建模,预测其三级结构,结果发现NS1蛋白主要以α-螺旋为主。本试验结果将为北京地区FPV免疫诊断及核酸疫苗研究提供理论依据。

The α2A‐adrenoceptor subtype plays a key role in the analgesic and sedative effects of xylazine

Xylazine, the classical α₂‐adrenoceptor (α₂‐AR) agonist, is still used as an analgesic and sedative in veterinary medicine, despite its low potency and affinity for α₂‐ARs. Previous pharmacological studies suggested that the α_2A‐AR subtype plays a role in mediating the clinical effects of xylazine; however, these studies were hampered by the poor subtype‐selectivity of the antagonists used and a lack of knowledge of their bioavailability in vivo. Here, we attempted to elucidate the role of the α_2A‐AR subtype in mediating the clinical effects of xylazine by comparing the analgesic and sedative effects of this drug in wild‐type mice with those in α_2A‐AR functional knockout mice using the hot‐plate and open field tests, respectively. Hippocampal noradrenaline turnover in both mice was also measured to evaluate the contribution of α_2A‐AR subtype to the inhibitory effect of xylazine on presynaptic noradrenaline release. In wild‐type mice, xylazine (10 or 30 mg/kg) increased the hot‐plate latency. Furthermore, xylazine (3 or 10 mg/kg) inhibited the open field locomotor activity and decreased hippocampal noradrenaline turnover. By contrast, all of these effects were abolished in α_2A‐AR functional knockout mice. These results indicate that the α_2A‐AR subtype is mainly responsible for the clinical effects of xylazine.     

Effect of dietary fish oil intake on ubiquitin ligase expression during muscle atrophy induced by sciatic nerve denervation in mice

Dietary fish oil intake improves muscle atrophy in several atrophy models however the effect on denervation‐induced muscle atrophy is not clear. Thus, the aim of this study was to investigate the effects of dietary fish oil intake on muscle atrophy and the expression of muscle atrophy markers induced by sciatic nerve denervation in mice. We performed histological and quantitative mRNA expression analysis of muscle atrophy markers in mice fed with fish oil with sciatic nerve denervation. Histological analysis indicated that dietary fish oil intake slightly prevented the decrease of muscle fiber diameter induced by denervation treatment. In addition, dietary fish oil intake suppressed the MuRF1 (tripartite motif‐containing 63) expression up‐regulated by denervation treatment, and this was due to decreased tumor necrosis factor‐alpha (TNF‐α) production in skeletal muscle. We concluded that dietary fish oil intake suppressed MuRF1 expression by decreasing TNF‐α production during muscle atrophy induced by sciatic nerve denervation in mice.     

Lack of haplotype structuring for two candidate genes for trypanotolerance in cattle

Bovine trypanotolerance is a heritable trait associated to the ability of the individuals to control parasitaemia and anaemia. The INHBA (BTA4) and TICAM1 (BTA7) genes are strong candidates for trypanotolerance‐related traits. The coding sequence of both genes (3951 bp in total) were analysed in a panel including 79 Asian, African and European cattle (Bos taurus and B. indicus) to identify naturally occurring polymorphisms on both genes. In general, the genetic diversity was low. Nineteen of the 33 mutations identified were found just one time. Seventeen different haplotypes were defined for the TICAM1 gene, and 9 and 12 were defined for the exon 1 and the exon 2 of the INHBA gene, respectively. There was no clear separation between cattle groups. The most frequent haplotypes identified in West African taurine samples were also identified in other cattle groups including Asian zebu and European cattle. Phylogenetic trees and principal component analysis confirmed that divergence among the cattle groups analysed was poor, particularly for the INHBA sequences. The European cattle subset had the lowest values of haplotype diversity for both the exon1 (monomorphic) and the exon2 (0.077 ± 0.066) of the INHBA gene. Neutrality tests, in general, did not suggest that the analysed genes were under positive selection. The assessed scenario would be consistent with the identification of recent mutations in evolutionary terms.
