The phylogenetic layout of the genotyped (30 microsatellite) 18 sheep breeds in this study demands and provides the opportunity to evaluate both neutral and adaptive components of genetic diversity in a naturally and artificially selected and subdivided sheep population. Seven Pramenka strains from Bosnia and Herzegovina and Croatia characterized by a very low intensity of artificial selection, preserved the highest neutral genetic variability. Eight central and north‐western European breeds under considerable artificial isolation and selection preserved the lowest genetic variability. Only combinations of various phylogenetic parameters offer a reasonable explanation for underlying evolutionary forces working in the investigated island and mainland sheep breeds under variable natural and artificial selection. More than 60% of total genetic, diversity was allocated to virtually unselected Pramenka strains, and an additional 25% to native moderately selected Graue Gehoernte Heidschnucke and intensively selected Ostfriesische Milchschafe. Some economically very important breeds and strains did not contribute to a pool with maximal genetic diversity, while they play an important role in the cultural heritage of respective countries. 相似文献

Sterility in male hypogonadic (hgn/hgn) rats results from congenital testicular dysplasia caused by a single recessive gene hgn on rat chromosome 10. We recently identified an insertion mutation in the Spag5/astrin gene of hgn/hgn rats that may cause defective proliferation of immature Sertoli cells in the postnatal hgn/hgn testis. Since the pathological alterations were present in the testes at birth, we examined the involvement of defective mitosis and apoptotic cell death in embryonic development of hgn/hgn testes. Testicular hypoplasia was apparent at embryonic day (ED) 18.5. Immunostaining of hgn/hgn testes at ED 21.5 with antibody to GATA-4, which is specific for fetal Sertoli cells in the seminiferous cords, showed that the significant decrease in the number of fetal Sertoli cells was accompanied by a two fold increase in their mitotic index and abnormal mitosis and apoptosis. Prior to this, we observed a decrease in the number of BrdU-labeled cells, an increase in the number of TUNEL-positive apoptotic cells, and presence of MIS-positive apoptotic cells in hgn/hgn testes on ED 17.5 and 18.5. These results suggest that the Spag5 mutation may cause a reduction in mitotic activity and an increase in apoptosis of fetal Sertoli cells in hgn/hgn testes. 相似文献

Transgenic mice are essential research tools in developmental biology studies. The 2A peptide allows multiple genes to be
expressed simultaneously at comparable levels in somatic cells, but there are no reports of it being used successfully in
germ cells. We constructed a Cre/loxP-based conditional vector containing the 2A peptide to significantly enhance the
expression of a reporter and target gene from a constitutive promoter in oocytes. Mice with a transgene insertion containing
the chicken β-actin promoter, floxed EGFP-polyA cassette, mCherry reporter, 2A peptide and target gene DNA methyltransferase
3A2 (Dnmt3a2) were crossed with TNAP- or Vasa-Cre mice to produce offspring, in which mCherry and DNMT3A2
proteins were highly expressed in oocytes upon Cre-mediated removal of EGFP-polyA. This novel transgenic mouse line based on
the 2A expression system can serve as a useful tool for examining gene function during oogenesis. 相似文献

The objective of the present study was to asses the effect of watertable level on N mineralization in a Histosol and a Humic Gleysol profile under natural meadows in Ljubljana marsh, Slovenia. The two soils differ significantly in organic matter content (27—40 % in Histosol and 14—20 % in Humic Gleysol) but not in C : N ratio (13—20) and pH (6.5—7.0). For each soil, the watertable was maintained at two levels (above or below 50 cm from the soil surface) for approximately one year. The four main plots, according to soil carbon content and watertable level were divided into 4 subplots, according to 4 fertilization treatments (unfertilized control, PK, PK + 50 kg N ha—1, PK + 3 × 50 kg N ha—1). Net N mineralization in unfertilized subplots was estimated from indices of N mineralization obtained by incubation of soil samples in the laboratory and by seasonal dynamics of mineral N content in the field. Annual uptake of N in herbage under the 4 fertilization treatments was also measured. Total mineral N content in topsoil was 20—80 % higher in Histosol than in Humic Gleysol. Similarly, aerobic N mineralization potentials along the entire soil profile (0—90 cm) were 20—130 % higher in Histosol than in Humic Gleysol. By contrast, anaerobic N mineralization potentials in subsoil were 10—60 % lower in Histosol than in Humic Gleysol. Both, aerobic and anaerobic N mineralization potentials strongly depended on watertable levels at sampling time. Seasonal dynamics of soil mineral N content as well as N mineralization potentials indicated that the N mineralization in the Histosol could be 10—40 % higher at low than at high watertable level. In the Humic Gleysol the N mineralization could be 10—100 % higher at high watertable level. Higher N availability in Histosol at low watertable and in Humic Gleysol at high watertable was also reflected in higher N uptake in herbage. These results indicate that N mineralization in Histosol and Humic Gleysol, was proportional to soil organic matter content, whereas in both soils, higher N mineralization rates can be expected at watertable levels between 40 and 60 cm below the soil surface, than at higher/lower watertable levels. 相似文献

We investigated effects of silvicultural treatments (planting and subsequent treatments) on understory structure and plant
species diversity in managed Picea glehnii plantations (21–26 years old) in northern Japan. We evaluated the importance of each treatment (machinery site preparation,
planting, weeding, and thinning) in 19 plantations, with considerable variation among treatments overall. The understory had
98 vascular plant species; the most dominant species was a dwarf bamboo Sasa senanensis, followed by tree species Abies sachalinensis and Betula ermanii. Multiple regression analyses showed that thinning negatively influenced plant species diversity. Planting density showed
a strong positive correlation with density of seedlings (height <20 cm), but few independent variables were correlated with
density of saplings (height ≥20 cm and diameter at breast height <1 cm). The negative effect of thinning and the positive
effect of planting density seem to be related to the existence or reinitiation of dense cover of Sasa senanensis. We present possible mechanisms of response to treatments to generalize the results. We then suggest ways to improve current
treatments to meet the goals of wood production and biodiversity conservation in the region. 相似文献

Asian soybean rust (ASR) caused by Phakopsora pachyrhizi is one of the most serious soybean (Glycine max) diseases in tropical and subtropical areas. A soybean line, PI 587855, showed a resistance phenotype against ASR pathogens in Japan and South America at high frequency; however, little is known of the genetic control of this resistance and chromosomal location of the corresponding locus. Therefore, the aim of this study was to study the inheritance of PI 587855 resistance and map the corresponding locus with SSR markers aiming to use the linked markers in marker‐assisted selection. In the segregating population, resistance to ASR appeared to be controlled by a single dominant gene. The ASR resistance locus was mapped near to the chromosomal region where the resistant loci, Rpp1 and Rpp1‐b, were previously mapped. Comparative genetic mapping and disease reaction profiles of other seven lines carrying Rpp1 or Rpp1‐b to four Brazilian ASR isolates revealed that the resistance reaction exhibited by PI 587855 was similar to that of Rpp1‐b‐carrying varieties which have useful resistance to South American ASR strains. 相似文献
