小尾寒羊BMP15基因多态性及其与高繁殖力关系的研究

以控制Belclare、Cambridge、Hanna、Inverdale和Lacaune绵羊高繁殖力的骨形态发生蛋白15基因(bonemorpho-geneticprotein15,BMP15)为候选基因,根据绵羊BMP15基因全序列设计6对引物覆盖全部的外显子,采用PCR-SSCP方法检测BMP15基因在高繁殖力绵羊品种(小尾寒羊)和低繁殖力绵羊品种(多赛特羊)中的多态性,同时研究该基因对小尾寒羊高繁殖力的影响。结果表明,只有外显子1的第1对引物扩增片段具有多态性,其余5对引物扩增片段都没有多态性。在127只小尾寒羊母羊和30只多赛特母羊中都检测到两种基因型(AA和AB)。统计结果表明,小尾寒羊和多赛特羊AA基因型频率分别为0.638和0.800,AB基因型频率分别为0.362和0.200。测序结果表明,AB基因型和AA基因型相比在cDNA第28bp处缺失了3个碱基(CTT),小尾寒羊和多赛特绵羊都发生了与Belclare、Cambridge、Hanna和Inverdale绵羊相同的CTT缺失突变。AB基因型小尾寒羊平均产羔数比AA基因型多0.20只,但差异不显著(P>0.05)。研究结果提示,BMP15基因的CTT缺失突变对小尾寒羊高繁殖力没有显著影响。     

Segetal and ruderal relatives of cultivated plants and the problems of their conservation and use: a Russian perspective

The paper presents a survey of the situation existing now in nature with wild relatives of crop species from the group of segetal and ruderal plants, found within the territories of Russia and of other CIS countries. The majority of non-specialized annual and perennial weeds have been shown still to occur in the territory of the former USSR. For the past 50 years they have not seriously vanished from agriculture. Some of them even have a tendency to expand their areas and to become more abundant. Hence they need not be conserved in gene banks. It is only for a relatively small group of species of specialized contaminants that care should be taken to preserve them and to store their seeds in gene banks.     

抗生素FR-008基因簇上游区域的DNA序列分析

链霉菌FR-008产生一种七烯大环内酯类抗生素FR-008，对真菌具有很高的抗菌活性，并对蚊子幼虫有高毒性（袁德军和周启，1990）。负责合成FR-008的基因簇被定位（Hu et al．，1994），有21个基因（共138kb，GenBank accession number AY310323）被确认参与了抗生素FR-008的生物合成以及调节和外运（Chen et al．，2003）。然而，在FR-008基因簇最左端fscO基因上游的基因是否与FR-008抗生素生物合成相关？为此，本研究对FR-008基因簇上游区域进行了序列测定和分析。     

TES基因C端的分段克隆与表达

为了在大肠杆菌中分段表达人类TES基因C端3个顺次排列的LIM结构域,利用PCR技术从含有TES基因全长编码序列的质粒pCMV-HA-TES中扩增出这3个LIM domain基因片段,分别重组入pGEM-T载体,再经酶切后,将获得的目的片段亚克隆入原核表达载体pQE-N1进行融合表达。酶切鉴定及测序结果表明,扩增产物与已知基因序列一致,成功构建了3个目的片段的pQE-N1表达质粒;SDS-PAGE结果显示,IPTG诱导表达出与预期分子质量大小相同的3个融合蛋白。     

植物LFY基因的研究进展

LFY基因在植物花分生组织形成中处于关键位置，维持花分生组织的正常功能、花启动，防止花分生组织的逆转。LFY基因需要其他成花基因相互作用，构成一个基因调控网络，其中任一基因的失活，其功能都会被其他基因部分补偿。LFY基因的表达除受碳源、植物激素等因子影响外，还受其他诸多因素的影响。文章就国内外对LFY基因及其同源基因的一些研究进展进行了综述，重点介绍了该基因在植物花发育中的功能、表达及其影响因子，同时展望其应用前景。

Comprehensive Analysis of Plant Gene Expression in Soybean Root Nodules at Different Growth Stages

Gene expression profiles in early (12 d after sowing, DAS), mature (35 DAS) and senescent (77 DAS) soybean ( Glycine max (L.) Merr. cv. Enrei) root nodules were analyzed using Lotus japonicus cDNA macroarray. The cDNA macroarray membranes contained 18,144 independent cDNAs of L. japonicus isolated from various organs. The membranes were hybridized to ³³P-labeled single-strand cDNAs transcribed from mRNA extracted from the soybean root nodules at three different growth stages. The results showed that over 75% of the cDNA clones gave a relative signal intensity (RSI) lower than 300, irrespective of the soybean growth stage. cDNA with an RSI value over 5,000 accounted for 2.1, 1.2 and 0.5% of the total cDNA clones at 12, 35 and 77 DAS, respectively. The highest RSI value was detected in a clone hybridized to putative pectinesterase (MWM097c10_r) at 12 DAS, while the RSI value of lycopene β-cyclase (MWL025d06_r) was the highest at 35 and 77 DAS. At 77 DAS, the percentage of transferase gene cDNA clones accounted for 20.5% of the total cDNA clones showing an RSI value over 500, a value clearly lower than that at 12 and 35 DAS. On the other hand, the percentage of hydrolase gene cDNA clones accounted for 45.2% at 77 DAS, a value around 1.5 times higher than that at 12 and 35 DAS. The chronological RSI profiles of individual cDNA clones were classified into nine patterns, and the profiles of the cDNA clones belonging to 15 homologous gene groups encoding enzymes of nitrogen and carbon metabolism, nodule specific proteins, enzymes of RNA and protein hydrolysis, and synthesis of jasmonic acid precursor were compared within and between groups. As a result, significant variations both within- and between-groups were revealed.
