Investigations on the Occurrence of Hereditary Diseases in the Danish Cattle Population 1989-1991

Agerholm, J.S., A. Basse and K. Christensen: Investigations on the occurrence of hereditary diseases in the Danish cattle population 1989-1991. Acta vet. scand. 1993, 34, 245-253.– The methods of the Danish Bovine Genetic Disease Programme are outlined, and the results obtained during the first 3 years in function are described. The most common disease reported was spinal muscular atrophy in calves of the Red Danish Dairy breed with 312 reports. Necropsy was performed on 162 cases, and spinal muscular atrophy was diagnosed in 82 of these. Bovine progressive degenerative mye-loencephalopathy, rectovaginal constriction, syndrome of arthrogryposis and palatoschisis, hereditary chondrodysplasia (2 different types), syndactylism, epitheliogenesis imperfecta, and osteogenesis imperfecta was diagnosed with 1 case each. Lethal trait A46 was diagnosed in 4 calves. Some of these diseases have not previously been described in Denmark, and epitheliogenesis imperfecta was for the first time diagnosed in the Hereford breed. Chromosome translocation 1/29 was detected in the Blonde d’Aquitaine (BAQ), Limousine, and Red Danish Dairy breed. The aberration occurred frequently in BAQ. Furthermore, a complex chromosome translocation t(l;8;9)(q45;ql3;q26) was detected in the Red Danish Dairy breed.

我国牦牛染色体研究现状

综述了近10年来我国牦牛染色体研究的情况,认为牦牛与普通牛在部分常染色体和Y染色体结构上的差异是导致犏牛雄性不育的原因之一,并指出我国牦牛染色体的研究,今后应以染色体带型标准化,染色体带型与经济性状的相关性,牦牛与其它牛种染色体的比较研究等为主攻方向。     

动物细胞遗传学研究现状及其应用

本文介绍了细胞遗传学在动物方面的研究现状及其在畜牧业上的应用。细胞遗传学的研究主要以染色体为对象。目前世界上现存的哺乳动物约4100多种,其中进行过染色体研究或核型分析的有1468种,我国已研究过的有242种。细胞遗传学在人类医学上的应用是众所周知的,在畜牧业上主要用于对种畜进行细胞学检查,以消除对家畜繁殖性能有影响的畸变染色本,以染色体标记来识别家畜品种,对环境污染的监测及遗传操作中的染色体工程。     

A Comparison of Techniques for Preparing Somatic Chromosomes in Ribes Species

Ribes plants,like most of other fruit trees ,are characterized by their large number but small size of somatic chromosomes.In the light of these spccial characteristies,we have examined several factorial combinations of material,pretreatment,slide preparing method and stain to identify the most promising techique for studying the chromosomes and further analyzing the karyotypes and chromosome banding of Ribes plants.The resuts indicated that the combination of root tip with pretreatment of 2m molL^-1 8-hydroxyquinoline plus 0.05% colchicine or 0.3% balm for 3-5 hours at 14℃,pre-hypotonic treatment of 0.07mol L^-1 KCl for 30min,fixation in Carnoy‘s fluid,hydrolysis in 5% cellulase and 5% pectinase mixture for 4-5 hours at 25℃,post-hypotoic treatment in distilled water for half an hour and staining in Giemsa Could make the chromosome preparation superior to other treatment combinations.     

绿豆根尖染色体的G显带

用风油精法在绿豆根尖细胞染色体上显示出了Ｇ带,其带纹数目随染色体浓缩程度而变化,以早中期和早后期的Ｇ带较为清晰,同源染色体带纹的数目、大小和分布基本一致,本文还讨论了风油精在Ｇ带诱导中的作用机制。     

Detection and characterization of phytoplasmas in diseased stone fruits and pear by PCR-RFLP analysis in Turkey

During the late summer-early autumn of 2002, surveys were carried out in Turkey to determine the presence of phytoplasma diseases in fruit trees. Phytoplasmas were detected and characterized by PCR-RFLP analysis and TEM technique in stone fruit and pear trees in the eastern Mediterranean region of the country. Six out of 24 samples, including almond, apricot, peach, pear and plum, gave positive results in PCR assays. RFLP analysis usingSspI andBsaAI enzymes of PCR products obtained with primer pair f01/r01 enabled identification of the phytoplasmas involved in the diseases. Stone fruit trees, including a local apricot variety (‘Sakıt’) and a pear sample, were found to be infected with European stone fruit yellows (ESFY, 16SrX-B) and pear decline (PD, 16SrX-C) phytoplasmas, respectively. This is the first report in Turkey of PD phytoplasma infecting pear and of ESFY phytoplasma infecting almond, apricot, myrobalan plum and peach; ESFY phytoplasma infecting Japanese plum was previously reported. http://www.phytoparasitica.org posting July 21, 2005.     

Engineering of a Single Chain Variable Fragment Antibody Specific for the Citrus tristeza virus and its Expression in Escherichia coli and Nicotiana tabacum

Citrus tristeza virus (CTV) is one of the most destructive citrus virus diseases in the world. The construction of an engineered antibody, EMBL accession number AJ278109, able to specifically recognize its antigen, i.e. the coat protein of CTV, directly on infected plant material without any purification or manipulation of the entire woody plant. The potential uses of this engineered antibody are discussed.
