谷子RNA干扰相关酶类基因家族的鉴定与分析

Dicers酶类、Argonautes蛋白以及RNA依赖的RNA聚合酶(RNA-dependent RNA polymerases,RDRs)是RNA干扰(RNA interference,RNAi)机制中重要的核心蛋白,但在谷子(Setaria italica)中尚无系统报道.为了研究谷子中与RNA干扰相关酶类基因的特征,本研究对谷子的RNA干扰相关酶类基因家族进行了蛋白质理化性质、亚细胞定位预测、蛋白质保守基序、基因保守结构域、基因家族成员间系统发育关系以及组织特异性表达谱分析.研究共发现24个与谷子RNA干扰相关酶类基因,包括7个DCL(Dicers),13个AGO(Argonautes),4个RDRs.系统进化树分析表明,这些家族被分为3个进化支.同一家族基因成员具有共同的保守结构域.虽然大多数基因可同时在不同发育时期的叶、茎和穗中表达,但其在各时期的穗和茎中的表达量最高.本研究为详细探讨这些基因在谷子生殖和生长发育中的表观遗传修饰作用提供了理论依据.

Effects of dietary oregano essential oil supplementation on growth performance,intestinal antioxidative capacity,immunity, and intestinal microbiota in yellow-feathered chickens

Essential oils are plant-derived aromatic volatile oils, and they contain bioactive compounds that have been shown to improve poultry nutrition. In this study, we investigated the effects of oregano essential oil (OEO) on intestinal antioxidative capacity, immunity, and gut microbiota of young yellow-feathered chickens. A total of nine hundred and sixty 1-d-old female Qingyuan partridge chickens were randomly allocated to four treatment groups with six replicates of 40 birds each, and the feeding trial was lasted for 30 d. The controls were fed on a basal diet without in-feed antibiotics; the birds in the antibiotic group were fed the basal diet supplemented with 20 mg/kg virginiamycin; the remaining birds were fed the basal diet containing 150 or 300 mg/kg OEO, respectively. Dietary supplementation with 150 or 300 mg/kg OEO increased average daily feed intake (P = 0.057) and average daily gain (P < 0.05). The activities of glutathione peroxidase and total antioxidative capacity in plasma, jejuna, and ileal mucosa were increased by OEO supplementation (P < 0.05), with a trend of lower jejunal content of malonaldehyde (P = 0.062). Moreover, dietary OEO increased the content of secretory immunoglobulin A (P = 0.078) and the relative expression of Claudin 1, Mucin 2, and Avain beta-defensin 1 in ileum (P < 0.05). Sequencing data of 16S rRNA indicated that dietary OEO increased the relative abundance of Firmicutes phylum, and Clostridium and Lactobacillus genera, and decreasing that of Romboutsia. Functional analyses indicated that microbial amino sugar and nucleotide sugar metabolism, replication, and repair systems were higher in OEO groups than those of controls and antibiotic treatment. In conclusion, dietary supplementation with OEO enhanced growth performance, alleviated local oxidative stress in intestine, improved production of natural antibodies, and favorably modulated intestinal microbiota composition.     

Evaluating and Comparing the Natural Cell Structure and Dimensions of Honey Bee Comb Cells of Chinese Bee,Apis cerana cerana (Hymenoptera: Apidae) and Italian Bee,Apis mellifera ligustica (Hymenoptera: Apidae)

The hexagonal structure of the honey bee comb cell has been the source of many studies attempting to understand its structure and function. In the storage area of the comb, only honey is stored and no brood is reared. We predicted that honey bees may construct different hexagonal cells for brood rearing and honey storage. We used quantitative analyses to evaluate the structure and function of the natural comb cell in the Chinese bee, Apis cerana cerana and the Italian bee, A. mellifera ligustica. We made cell molds using a crystal glue solution and measured the structure and inclination of cells. We found that the comb cells of A. c. cerana had both upward-sloping and downward-sloping cells; while the A. m. ligustica cells all tilted upwards. Interestingly, the cells did not conform to the regular hexagonal prism structure and showed irregular diameter sizes. In both species, comb cells also were differentiated into worker, drone and honey cells, differing in their diameter and depth. This study revealed unique differences in the structure and function of comb cells and showed that honey bees design their cells with precise engineering to increase storage capacity, and to create adequate growing room for their brood.

半干旱黄土区地上生物量对立地因子的响应

半干旱黄土区地形破碎、沟壑纵横、生态环境脆弱,其生态恢复过程受到全世界生态学者的普遍关注.生物量是生态系统获取能量的表现形式.以位于黄土丘陵沟壑区的植被自然恢复10a的合沟流域地上生物量为研究对象,分析不同立地因子对地上生物量的影响规律.结果表明:1)不同立地类型地上生物量从大到小依次为沟底、阴向沟坡、阴向梁坡、阳向沟坡、梁顶、阳向梁坡;2)梁坡和沟坡的地上生物量随坡度升高均呈现反S形态,梁坡的地上生物量最大值出现在20°～25°处,最小值出现在35°～40°处,沟坡的地上生物量的最小值出现在30°～35°处,最大值出现在40°～45°处;3)坡向对地上生物量的影响是显著的(P=0.049),其余因素的影响不显著.可知,该区地上生物量的分布规律是植被对不同立地类型水分、光照等自然条件综合利用的结果.
