LncRNAs are potentially involved in the immune interaction between small brown planthopper and rice stripe virus

Small brown planthopper(SBPH, Laodelphax striatellus Fallén) is an important vector of major crop pathogen rice stripe virus(RSV). Controlling SBPH population is an efficient approach to control RSV. Long non-coding RNAs(lnc RNA) have been reported to block virus replication in hosts. However, the function of lnc RNAs in RSV infection and replication is still unknown. Here, we aimed to study regulatory mechanisms of lnc RNA in an immune system during RSV infection. First, lnc RNA genes were predicted from SBPH transcriptomes using a bioinformatics pipeline based on characteristics of lnc RNA. We identified 4 786 lnc RNA genes corresponding to 5 790 transcripts in SBPH from an RNA-Seq dataset of 15 transcriptomes. Differential expression analysis indicated that 3, 11, and 25 lnc RNA genes were highly expressed in gut, salivary gland, and ovary, respectively, of viruliferous SBPH(Student’s t-test, P<0.05). We randomly selected eight lnc RNAs for expression validation using quantitative real-time PCR, confirming the differential expression of these lnc RNAs between viruliferous and non-viruliferous SBPH. In summary, we present evidence that the expression of lnc RNA genes was induced by RSV infection, suggesting that RSV might be involved in the antivirus immune system in SBPH and participate in regulating the RSV replication mechanism. These data provide helpful information for future investigations of the interaction between lncRNA and RSV.

面向复杂产品漏装检测的虚实边缘匹配方法

针对复杂产品装配过程中无/少真实样本数据支撑的漏装检测问题,提出了一种基于虚实边缘匹配的漏装检测方法。首先,基于虚拟空间成像获取装配零件三维模型的多视角虚拟视图,通过提取边缘梯度特征进行模板库构建。其次,基于高效的虚实边缘匹配进行装配零件的识别与粗定位,并基于ICP算法对定位进行优化。最后,将匹配的模板边缘点映射至图像,建立基于形状上下文匹配的漏装判别过程,将零件检测、形状相似度以及边缘匹配率共同作为漏装判别依据。试验结果表明,所提方法对漏装的平均检出率达到了96.82%。

苗期水稻响应褐飞虱取食的基因差异表达分析

【目的】褐飞虱Nilaparvata lugens (Stǎl)是水稻的重要害虫之一,主要刺吸水稻韧皮部汁液为害,对水稻生产造成严重的产量和经济损失。为研究水稻响应褐飞虱取食的分子机制,对褐飞虱取食6 h后的苗期水稻进行转录组测序及基因差异表达分析。【方法】采用illumina二代测序技术获得褐飞虱取食前后水稻组织的转录组数据,利用RSEM软件进行基因表达定量和DEseq2进行差异表达分析;从差异表达基因中随机选取20个基因采用荧光定量PCR技术进行验证;采用GeneMerge软件对差异表达基因进行KEGG和GO富集分析。【结果】褐飞虱取食后,水稻转录组中的1 104个基因出现了差异表达,其中435个基因表达上调,669个基因表达下调。荧光定量PCR结果显示,20个差异表达基因中18个基因的表达变化趋势和测序结果一致,证明了转录组分析结果可靠。GO和KEGG富集分析表明,表达上调基因主要与水稻氧化应激、海藻糖合成及次生化合物代谢有关,显著富集在14个KEGG通路和30个GO功能分类中;而表达下调基因主要参与水稻纤维素、蛋白质及脂肪酸合成过程,显著富集在29个KEGG通路和26个GO功能分类。在差异表达基因中,分别有61个转录因子和13个水杨酸和茉莉酸信号通路相关基因。【结论】褐飞虱取食激发了水稻的应激反应和保护机制,同时还降低了营养合成的过程,是飞虱为害造成水稻减产的原因之一。本研究初步揭示了苗期水稻响应褐飞虱取食的差异表达基因,为研究水稻-褐飞虱互作机制以及褐飞虱抗性水稻品种培育提供了参考和依据。
