Nomenclature report on rice WRKY's - Conflict regarding gene names and its solution

Background

Since whole genome sequences of rice were made publically accessible, the number of articles on new rice genes has increased remarkably. The Committee on Gene Symbolization, Nomenclature and Linkage (CGSNL) of the Rice Genetics Cooperative published the gene nomenclature system for rice and encouraged researchers to follow the rules before publishing their results. The CGSNL provides an on-line registration system for newly identified rice genes to prevent conflicts and/or duplication of gene name in journal articles.

Findings

Recently, the CGSNL surveyed genes in the rice WRKY family in published journal articles and found several duplicated gene names.

Conclusions

To discuss and resolve inconsistencies in WRKY gene nomenclature, the rice WRKY working group was established and redefined the nomenclature. This report announces the conclusion.

Freeze testing and field mortality of Pinus sylvestris (L.) in northern Sweden

Six short‐term freezing experiments were carried out on 24 one‐year‐old single‐tree open pollinated families of Pinus sylvestris (L.) representing four populations in northerly Sweden (latitude 62°10'N to 66°50'N). Two experiments were conducted in a climate chamber, two in a greenhouse and two outdoors. For freeze testing the plants were exposed to ‐10°C for three hours in a freezing chamber. A freezing experiment in a climate chamber of 28 one‐year‐old full‐sib families (half diallel with two parents from each population) was also carried out. The results were related to the mortality of the same open pollinated families over the first 18 years in the field. The ranking of the populations was the same in all six freezing experiments as in the field. Significant differences in frost resistance between one‐year‐old open pollinated families were found within all populations except the most northern one. The correlations within populations between frost resistance and field mortality varied considerably between populations and freezing experiments. The results from the two greenhouse experiments showed the best correlations with the cumulative field mortality after 18 years. The freezing test of the 28 full‐sib families resulted in the same mutual ranking, according to the general combining ability of parents within populations, as was obtained from the freezing tests of single tree families.     

大豆PHD家族蛋白的全基因组鉴定及表达特征分析

PHD（Plant Homeodomain Finger）基因家族编码一类锌指转录因子,广泛参与植物的生长发育和逆境应答过程。通过全基因组鉴定获得了95个大豆PHD家族蛋白。通过共线性分析、进化树构建、基因结构和功能结构域鉴定、GO注释分析、不同组织间和非生物胁迫下表达分析等,获得了大豆PHD家族基因复制、家族进化、保守结构域及基因表达等信息。结果表明,大豆PHD基因在家族进化、基因结构和保守结构域上存在较大变异,可能参与Zn ²⁺结合、DNA结合及表观遗传调控等分子过程,参与调控植物生长发育和逆境应答。这些结果为进一步研究大豆PHD家族在生长发育和逆境应答中的生物学功能提供重要线索。     

甘薯基因组NBS-LRR类抗病家族基因挖掘与分析

NBS-LRR类基因家族是植物抗病R基因(Resistance gene)数量最多的一类,具有NBS (Nucleotide-binding site)和LRR (Leucine-leucine-repeat)结构域。甘薯(Ipomoea batatas)栽培种基因组已完成测序,但尚未注释,本研究对甘薯基因组序列进行外显子预测,得到甘薯染色体组全基因组蛋白序列,在此基础上进一步对NBS-LRR家族基因鉴定和分析表明,甘薯基因组中含有379个NBS-LRR家族基因,占全基因组基因总数的0.212%,其中N型亚家族120个,NL型103个, CNL型133个, TNL型22个, PN型1个。所有染色体上均有NBS-LRR家族基因分布,但数量明显不同,其中有60.9%的NBS-LRR基因序列呈簇状分布。NBS-LRR基因序列有15个保守结构域,在N端较为保守。研究结果为甘薯进一步开展NBS-LRR家族基因的功能研究和抗性育种提供了参考。     

植物的AUX/IAA基因家族研究进展

AUX/IAA是生长素早期响应基因家族,其编码的蛋白质能通过与生长素响应因子特异性结合来调控生长素响应基因的表达,在整个植物生长素信号转导过程中具有重要作用。为了深入研究生长素信号转导分子机制,本文就AUX/IAA基因结构特征、组织表达特异性及其在植物生长发育中的功能作了介绍;为提高Aux/IAA基因的应用价值和进行分子水平改良植物物种提供依据。
