Abstract

Abstract:The lignin content of transgenic triploid Chinese white poplar (Populus tomentosa Carr.) expressing the antisense 4CL (4-coumarate:CoA ligase) cDNA was remarkably reduced. The stems of transgenic poplars were complete red-brown or mottled red-brown immediately after the bark was peeled off, while the stems of the untransformed plants were white. The reductions in lignin content of transgenic plants with complete red-brown stems were much higher than with mottled red-brown ones. Wiesner reactions of untransformed plants were typical purple-red, while that of complete red-brown stems of transgenic plants exhibited red. Wiesner reactions of white parts in mottled red stems of transgenic plants displayed typical purple red like untransformed plants, while that of red-brown parts showed red color, which testified further the relationship of lignin content with stem color in transgenic plant. It was considered that the stem color of transgenic plant could be employed as supplementary trait to screen the transgenic plant with the reduced lignin content.

Abstract

Abstract: The different length of six maize In5-2 promoter 5' end deletions were obtained by PCR method. The mutants were cloned to plant expression vector D1301 and transferred into Nicotiana tabacum. GUS activity analysis showed that regulation region of its basic transcription was mainly within -1 520 to -1 431 bp upstream of ATG. DNAMAN analysis there were two stem-loop structures within -1 108 to -1 079 and –891 to -864 bp related to ATG. It was suggested that their protein integration site was between -1 079 to -897 bp related to ATG. In addition, cis-acting elements responsive to chloroacetanilide could be mainly located within the range of-388 to -86 bp upstream of ATG.

Abstract

Abstract: The fully grown mouse germinal vesicle oocytes from large antral follicle can be classified into two groups, according to their chromatin configuration. The S1 nuclease sensitivity of them was investigated during their maturation in vitro. The results showed that NSN-type (non-surrounded nucleolus, whose decondensed chromatin distributed in almost whole nuclear) oocytes at MⅠ stage had more S1 nuclease sensitivity than that of SN-type (surrounded nucleolus，whose condensed chromatin surrounded nucleolus.) oocytes (P <0.01), while little difference between them in S1 nuclease sensitivity was found at MⅡ stage (P >0.05). It seemed that the NSN-type oocytes at MⅠ stage had more abundant single-strand property than SN-type oocytes, and during developing from MⅠ stage to MⅡ stage, the abundance of single-strand character in these two-type oocytes became homogenized.

Abstract

Abstract：The cDNA of ChIFN-γ gene was subcloned into BamHⅠ site of pMelBacB under the control of baculovirus polyhedrin to construct recombinant transfer vector pMelBacB-ChIFN-γ. The recombinant transfer vector pMelBacB-ChIFN-γ was then transfected into sf9 insect cells with wild-type Bac-N-Blue linear DNA using cationic liposomes. The cultures were harvested and plaque-assayed with x-gal, and blue plaques were selected as recombinant viruses. After being purified for three times and identified by PCR, the purified viruses were named rBaculovirus-ChIFN-γ. The Sf9 cells were infected with rBaculovirus-ChIFN-γ and incubated at 28 ℃, their and cultures were harvested at 24, 48, 72, 96, 120 and 144 h post-inoculation, respectively. The lysates of the cells were analyzed by SDS-PAGE, a band with a apparent molecular weight of 19 kD was observed. To further confirm this band, the lysates of sf9 insect cells infected with rBaculovirus-ChIFN-γ were analyzed by Western blot using polyclonal antibodies against ChIFN-γ, the result showed that this band represented ChIFN-γ. It was demonstrated that about 19 kD recombinant ChIFN-γ protein with activity was expressed in sf9 insect cells.

Abstract

Abstract: To differentiate pigs infected with pseudorabies virus (PrV) and vaccinated with Ge-PrV, the gE enzyme linked immunosorbent assay(ELISA) based on the recombinant glycoprotein E, which was expressed by E .coli, purified, denatured and renatured, was developed. The diagnostic specificity and sensitivity of the developed gE-ELISA were evaluated by testing 115 serum samples. The gE-ELISA's diagnostic specificity was 94.5% and sensitivity was 96.7%. Five serum samples were tested with plates from 5 patches and a coefficient of variation of less than 10% was obtained, showing the gE-ELISA had good reproducibility. When gE-ELISA was compared with a commercial blocking ELISA by testing 356 serum samples, the agreement rate of the two assays was 92.13%(328/356). The above results indicated that the gE-ELISA developed in our laboratory could be used to differentiate the PrV infected and gE-PrV vaccinated pigs.

Abstract

Abstract: The development of bovine parthenogenesis and somatic cell nuclear transfer embryos in different culture systems was studied. In vitro maturated bovine oocytes were activated by 5 mmol/L ionomycin for 5 min treatment and 2 mmol/L 6-DMAP for 4 h culture. The nuclear transplantation embryos were produced by intracytoplasmic injection of the bovine skin fibroblast nuclear. The results indicated that the blastocyte rate was higher when bovine parthenogenesis embryos cultured in BECMaa (bovine embryo culture media) + 10% FBS than in SOFaa + 10% FBS or TCM199 + 10% FBS (16.5%∶13.6% / 12.8%, P＜0.05); However, adding 1 mmol/L glutathione into SOFaa + 10% FBS could significantly increase parthenogenesis blastocyte rate (18.5%∶12.8%, P＜0.01). When added into serum-free SOFaa (including GSH) the fibroblast growth factor 4 (FGF4) and insulin could improve bovine nuclear transfer embryo development significantly respectively (8.7% / 9.3%:5.5%, P ＜0.05), but there was no obviously effect when FGF4 was used together with FBS. According to the above results and metabolism character of early bovine embryo, the two-step bovine embryo culture system in vitro, which embryos were cultured firstly in media Ⅰ(SOFnaa + EDTA + GSH + insulin) for 72 h, then transferred into media Ⅱ (SOFaa + 5％FBS + Glucose + GSH + insulin) for 8 d, was established. As compared with one-step culture using media SOFaa + 10％FBS + GSH, two-step culture system could significantly improve bovine parthenogenesis and nuclear transfer embryos development, whichever the blastocyte rate (22.3%∶18.5%; 15.0%∶11.7%, P＜0.01) or the development rate from 8/16-cell stage to blastocyte(47.3%∶43.6%; 37.4%∶32.5%, P＜0.05). In conclusion, the two-step culture system was a feasible bovine embryos culture method in vitro, and much more accorded with the development character and nutrition demand of bovine early embryo.

Abstract

Abstract: The effects of tumor necrosis factor-α(TNF-α) at different concentration levels on rat adipocyte apoptosis were detected by optical microscopy, agarose gel electrophoresis and flow cytometry methods. The morphologic changes of rat adipocyte apoptosis induced by TNF-α were correlated linearly with the concentrations of TNF-αwithin a range from 5 to 20 ng/mL, and the higher concentration of TNF-α could induce more obvious apoptosis. The morphologic changes of rat adipocytes treated by 5 ng/mL TNF-α were clearly shown, but their DNA ladders didn't appear by the DNA electrophoresis analysis, indicating that the morphologic changes occurred earlier than the biochemical changes. TNF-α induced the rat adipocyte apoptosis in a dose-dependent manner within a concentration range from 5 ng/mL to 20 ng/mL. Compared with the control, the apoptotic effect induced respectively by 5, 10, 15 and 20 ng/mL TNF-α was significantly difference (P<0.01), but the effect among 10, 15 and 20 ng/mL TNF-α treatments was not difference (P >0.05). Thus the optimum concentration of TNF-α inducing apoptosis was determined at the level of 10 ng/mL.

Abstract

Abstract: A total of 15 pairs of AFLP primer combinations were used to detect genetic variation of pooled genomic DNA from 8 native chicken breeds and 1 cultivated chicken breed in Jiangxi Province as well as 1 exotic chicken breed, which included Nanchenghei, Yuganwuhei, Congrenma, Ningdusanhuang, Wanzaikanglehuang, Guangfeng Baierhuang, Dongxiang green-shell, Taihe silky fowl, Jingdehuang and Israel recessive white feather fowl. The genetic similarity coefficients of 10 chicken breeds were calculated from AFLP data, the highest similarity coefficient of 0.7790 existed between Yuganwuhei and Nanchenghei, followed by that of 0.6726 between Guangfeng Baierhuang and Jingdehuang, while the lowest similarity coefficient of 0.2801 was revealed between Israel recessive white feather fowl and Congrenma. UPGMA (unweighted pair group method with arithmetic mean) cluster analysis was also performed by the program of PHYLIP. Eight Jiangxi indigenous chicken breeds and the cultivated breed (Jingdehuang) were grouped into one branch, in which Yuganwuhei and Nanchenghei clustered together, and Guangfeng Baierhuang and Jingdehuang were grouped closely, while exotic chicken breed (Israel recessive white feather fowl) formed another branch. The results indicated that Jiangxi indigenous chicken breeds and exotic chicken breed had distant genetic relationship, the closest geneticrelationship was observed between Nanchenghei and Yuganwuhei, which was consistent with the previous result by RAPD analysis. The two chicken breeds were therefore suggested to be combined for conservation. Guangfeng Baierhuang and Jingdehuang showed intimate relationship, the two breeds was closer than any other pair of breeds, which was also consistent with the RAPD result and the breeding history of Jingdehuang chicken breed using Guangfeng Baierhuang as one of founder animals.

Abstract

Abstract: Gonadotrophin-releasing hormone-1(GnRH-I )and estrogen receptor-β (ER-β ) mRNA expression in the ovary of Shaoxing ducks between 1 and 90 post hatching were measured by semi-quantitative RT-PCR using β-actin as an internal standard. The abundance of ovarian GnRH-I mRNA increased gradually from 1 to 90 d of age, 60-day-old ducks exhibited the highest level of ovarian GnRH-I mRNA. And the level of ovarian GnRH-I mRNA from 60 to 90 day was significantly higher than that of 1 to 30 d. However, the level of ER-β mRNA went up gradually from 1 d to 60 d, reaching a peak at 60 d, then went down to the level of 90 d. Ovarian expression of ER-β mRNA was significantly greater at 60 d than any of other age groups. The results indicated that ovarian GnRH-1 may be involved in regulating the growth of post-stage ovarian follicle, while ER-β mRNA may be participated in the earlier follicle development in Shaoxing ducks.

Abstract

　Abstract: GP41, a major glycoprotein, has been identified in the Occlusion-derived virus（ODV）of baculoviruses, which was required for the egress of nucleocapsids from the nucleus in the pathway of the Budded virus（BV）synthesis. The ORF of Spodoptera litura nucleopolyhedro virus（SpltMNPV）gp41 gene was obtained by PCR method from SpltMNPV genomic DNA. The PCR product was cloned into pMD18-T vector to get the recombinant plasmid（pT-gp41）. The gp41 gene was recombined in vitro with prokaryotic expression vector pQE30 and transformed into Escherichia.coli M15 [pREP4]. The M15 [pREP4] strain, containing gp41 recombinant plasmid, expressed a 37.9 kD 6×His-tag fusion protein after induction with 1 mmol/L IPTG (isopropylthio-β-D-galactoside). The fusion protein was purified with Ni-NTA resin column and used as the immunogen to raise a GP41-specific antibody. Western blotting analysis indicated that the antibody was suitable to be used for further analysis of GP41 protein.

Abstract

Abstract: Eighteen isolates were obtained from sugarcane smut fungus (Ustilago scitaminea Syd). cultivated in six different provinces or regions including Fujian Province. On the basis of isolation of single spore and the acquisition of series of the isolates, 13 random primers of 10 bp were occupied in analysis of genetic diversity by RAPD. The largest dissimilarity coefficient was 0.89474, being observed in two isolates with codes of 7 and 9 originated from Fujian and Guangxi, respectively; the smallest value of 0.25217 was observed in two isolates originated in Fujian. Dendrogram of UPGMA cluster analysis revealed that 18 isolates of U. scitaminea Syd. were divided into 6 groups according to the dissimilarity coefficient of 0.75. Because of small dissimilarity coefficient, seven isolates obtained from sugarcane in Fujian Province belonged to two adjacent groups of cluster Ⅰ and cluster Ⅱ. High dissimilarity coefficient of 0.82353 was observed in two isolates collected from same host origin but with different geographical origin.The results of cluster suggested that the molecular diversity was associated with geographyic origins in some degree, but not related to host origin.

Abstract

Abstract：The elastase is a kind of protease that can hydrolyse elastin. pH is one of the most important environmental factors for cell growth and product accumulation. The best pH for cell growth and elastase production were about 6.0～7.0 and 6.4～6.6, respectively. Single factor and rotatable orthogonal central composite design were used to study the effect of buffer systems on producing elastase. The optimal result showed that 15 h later adding pH 6.4 (0.02 mol/L KH2PO4-NaOH) buffer to medium was the best way for cell growth and elastase production. This model was verified to be credible.
