一种快速分析香蕉果实采后mRNA水平变化的新方法

采用SMARTPCRcDNA合成与计算机软件相结合的方法,快速分析香蕉果实采后mRNA水平的变化。在28℃条件下分别将处于同株同穗同梳相邻位置的香蕉果实放置24、48、72h。应用这种方法对其总mRNA水平进行了分析,结果表明,香蕉采后48h时,与采后0h相比,mRNA水平最高。该方法由于使用了计算机软件TheScionImage,可对cDNA电泳图进行数字化分析,具有用材少,敏感性高,快捷方便等特点,特别适用于对较多样品进行分析。

小麦cDNA文库构建方法的改进及优化

基于SMART法,优化cDNA文库构建方法。将常规SMART法中的限制性内切酶SfiI替换成BsaI,在引物两侧分别加入BsaI-XhoI和BsaI-BamHI酶切位点,仅使用BsaI单酶切即可获得两不同的粘性末端,可用于连接任意载体。应用此方法构建了小麦cDNA文库,获得2.7×104个独立克隆,文库平均长度500bp。     

Indicators of success for smart law enforcement in protected areas: A case study for Russian Amur tiger (Panthera tigris altaica) reserves

Although considerable conservation resources have been committed to develop and use law enforcement monitoring and management tools such as SMART, measures of success are ill‐defined and, to date, few reports detail results post‐implementation. Here, we present 4 case studies from protected areas with Amur tigers (Panthera tigris altaica) in Russia, in which indicators of success were defined and evaluated at each. The ultimate goal was an increase in tiger numbers to 1 individual/100 km² at each site. We predicted that improvements in law enforcement effectiveness would be followed by increases in prey numbers and, subsequently, tiger numbers. We used short‐term and long‐term indicators of success, including: (i) patrol team effort and effectiveness; (ii) catch per unit effort indicators (to measure reductions in threats); and (iii) changes in target species numbers. In addition to implementing a monitoring system, we focused on improving law enforcement management using an adaptive management process. Over 4 years, we noted clear increases in patrol effort and a partial reduction in threats. Although we did not detect clear trends in ungulate numbers, tiger populations remained stable or increased, suggesting that poaching of tigers may be more limiting than prey depletion. Increased effectiveness is needed before a clear reduction in threats can be noted, and more time is needed before detecting responses in target populations. Nonetheless, delineation of concrete goals and indicators of success provide a means of evaluating progress and weaknesses. Such monitoring should be a central component of law enforcement strategies for protected areas.     

荣昌猪唾液腺全长cDNA文库的构建及ESTs分析

【目的】构建荣昌猪唾液腺全长cDNA文库,并进行部分表达序列标签(ESTs)的测序及分析,为荣昌猪种质资源的保存、开发和挖掘提供重要的分子信息。【方法】以14日龄荣昌猪仔猪为材料,取其唾液腺,采用SMART法构建唾液腺全长cDNA文库,并进行ESTs测序、注释及功能分析。【结果】初级文库滴度为5.88×106PFU/mL,重组率为99.67%,大部分插入片段长度为400~2 000bp。共获得144条有效ESTs序列,共计108条非重复序列,包括23个重叠群和85个单一序列,77(占71.29%)条序列为已知功能基因,31(占28.71%)条为未知功能序列,其中18条为新基因。GO分类和KEGG途径分析结果显示,荣昌猪唾液腺表达基因功能主要包括细胞成分、分子功能和生物学过程3个类群。在细胞成分类群中,细胞外的成分所占比例最高;在分子功能类群中,酶抑制剂活性所占比例最高;而在生物过程类群中,以转运和定位等过程最突出。表达的基因主要参与补足物和凝固级联、百日咳、加压素调控的水再吸收及味觉传导等代谢途径。【结论】成功构建了荣昌猪唾液腺全长cDNA文库,解析了荣昌猪唾液腺的表达特征。
