离心泵转轮内流动特性及磨损数值预测

我国黄河沿线取水泵站水泵机组存在严重的泥沙磨损问题。研究对象为一双吸离心泵,采用固液两相流数值模拟预测了泵内粒子运动规律和磨损特性。结果表明:流量对转轮内粒子的运动特性和磨损特性有着显著的影响。在不同流量工况下,转轮内的磨损位置和磨损率明显不同,叶片壁面总磨损率与流量工况成正相关变化,随流量的增加而增加。在小流量工况下,转轮内存在的漩涡和二次流对颗粒的轨迹有较大的影响。漩涡的存在会改变粒子浓度分布,加剧局部的摩擦磨损。研究结果为泵内磨损预测和设计提供理论指导,具有重要的学术意义和工程价值。

农杆菌介导的谷子遗传转化效率一直是制约谷子功能基因研究及转基因育种效率的主要因素。本研究以冀谷11谷子幼穗为外植体,选取0.5~1.0cm的幼穗,切成0.5cm左右的小段,置改良后的MS培养基上诱导15~20d形成胚性愈伤组织3120块。愈伤组织侵染转化前用侵染液悬浮浸泡,并经45°C热激预处理3min,可以有效提高26.1%的瞬时遗传转化效率。将转化后的愈伤组织经草丁膦(PPT)筛选后获得513块抗性愈伤组织,抗性愈伤组织获得率为16.4%。抗性愈伤组织经分化、壮苗培养后获得7株抗性植株,经PCR和Southern杂交检测得到6株T_0代转基因阳性株,对T_3代转化植株叶片进行PPT抗性分析,并结合Bar蛋白抗体试纸条鉴定,表明Bar基因已稳定整合到谷子基因组中。本研究建立了农杆菌介导转化谷子优良品种的遗传转化体系,对提高谷子转基因育种效率和谷子模式研究系统的建立有重要意义。

数值模拟与实际监测相结合的边坡稳定性分析

鉴于单一利用数值模拟分析边坡稳定性的可靠性不高,应结合相应的监测数据来印证,以某边坡在暴雨工况下的变形破坏为例,基于强度折减理论,首先利用具有多样化建模方式及高精度特点的Rhino 5.0建模软件对边坡建立数值模型,然后通过室内试验、参数反演确定模型参数,再通过FLAC3D分别对该边坡在天然工况和暴雨工况下进行数值模拟计算,最后将数值模拟结果与监测数据对比分析。结果表明,该边坡在天然工况下处于稳定状态,暴雨工况下受持续性降雨影响潜在滑动面岩土力学性质急剧减弱将会发生失稳破坏;数值模拟找到的潜在滑动面与实际监测情况吻合,边坡变形发育阶段与雨水集中期基本吻合。

Establishment of a Highly Efficient Regeneration System for the Mature Embryo Culture of Wheat

Establishment of a highly efficient regeneration system for the mature embryo of wheat will provide a convenient tool for wheat tissue culture and transformation, thereby facilitating the transformation of foreign genes into wheat. By using the mature embryos derived from 20 different wheat lines including Shi 4185, Yumai 66, Lunxuan 987, CB037, Yangmai 6, Xinchun 9, Bobwhite, Han 6172, Zheng 9023, Jimai 20, Ningchun 4, and Jing 411, the effects of some factors including inoculation methods, initiating culture media, organic additives, antioxidants, and auxins on the regeneration from the explants were evaluated. The results indicated that the scraping embryo culture was better than the whole embryo culture, the Aa medium was better than the SD2 medium and dicamba was better than 2,4-D in increasing the regeneration frequency. An Adi medium was established in this study by adding silver nitrate, cysteine, ascorbic acid, dicamba, glutamine into the Aa medium at the concentration of 4,40, 100, 2, and 5 mg L^-1, respectively. By using the Adi medium and the scraping technique, the regeneration frequencies of the mature embryos of CB037, Lunxuan 987, Hart 6172, Yangmai 6, Bobwhite, Zheng 9023, Shi 4 185, and Jimai 20 became 85.6, 60,1, 46.0, 42.1,42.0, 34.0, 33.0, and 32.0%, respectively, which were about 5-8 times higher than that obtained from the conventional culture mediums and techniques. This novel regeneration system could be helpful in wheat transformation.

Cloning and Characterization of Genes Coding for Fructan Biosynthesis Enzymes (FBEs) in Triticeae Plants

Fructan is not only a carbon source for storage but also plays an important role as anti-stress agents in many plant species. Complex fructans having both β-（2,1）- and β-（2,6）-linked fructosyl units accumulate in Triticeae plants commonly. Three enzymes （sucrose： sucrose 1-fructosyltransferase, 1-SST, EC： 2.4.1.99; sucrose： fructan 6-fructosyltransferase, 6- SFT, EC： 2.4.1.10; and fructan： fructan 1-fructosyltransferase, 1-FFT, EC： 2.4.1.100） were involved in fructan biosynthesis in Triticeae plant species. We successfully isolated these genes from tetraploid wheat （Triticum turgidum, genotype： AABB）, common wheat （Triticum aestivum L., genotype： AABBDD） and three wild relatives of common wheat, Triticum urartu Thum. （the origin of the AA genome）, Aegilops speltoides （Tausch） Gren. （the putative source of the SS genome） and Aegilops tauschii Coss. （the source of the DD genome）. Sequence analysis revealed that all the FBEs （fructan biosynthetic enzymes） had three highly conserved functional motifs except 1-SST （EU981912） from tetraploid wheat species only with conserved DPNG. Low pI （isoelectric point） and potential N-glycosylation sites were predicted, which were crucial for protein compartmentation and post-translational process. Analysis on subcelluar localization signals showed that only 6-SFT had vacuolar-directed signal. Sequences alignment result showed that 1-SST and 1-FFT were more conservative and had closer relationship each other, while 6-SFT was more active during the evolution processing. According to the syntenic relationship between wheat and rice genome, FBEs were predicated to be located on the homeologous group 6 and group 2 chromosomes. Expression profile confirmed that expression of all the three FBEs were drought-stress induced. This study can assist to establish a useful theoretical platform for cold- or drought-tolerant improvement of wheat by modulating FBEs expression.

Effects of Environmental Temperature on the Regeneration Frequency of the Immature Embryos of Wheat(Triticum aestivum L.)

The immature embryos （IEs） of wheat are the most widely used tissues for in vitro culture and genetic transformation due to its high regeneration competency. However, this explant can only be maintained in 4℃ daily cooler for a short period time for its use in plant tissue culture or transformation experiments. This study aimed to investigate the effects of environmental temperature, cryopreservation storage temperature, and heat shock culture （HSC） temperature on the regeneration frequency of wheat IEs. Results indicated that environmental temperature significantly affected the induction of embryonic calli. The optimum total accumulated temperature （TAT） during the time of anthesis and sampling for regeneration of these tissues was around 280℃ for spring wheat type cv. CB037 and approximately 300℃ for winter wheat type cv. Kenong 199. Regeneration ability obviously declined when the highest environmental temperature was over 35℃ for 1 d or a high temperature between 30 and 33℃ lasted for 5 d during anthesis and sampling. This finding was verified by culturing the freshly isolated IEs under different temperatures from 29 to 37℃ in different controlled growth incubators for 5 d; the IEs almost completely lost regeneration ability when the temperature rose to 37℃. Cryopreservation of-20℃ caused the wheat samples lost ability of producing callus or embryonic callus in a few days, and cryopreservation of-10℃ more than 10 d made the regeneration potential of the tissues dramatically declined. Comparatively, the temperature that best maintained high regeneration ability was -5℃, at which the materials can be maintained for around 1 mon. In addition, the preservation of the immature samples at -5 or -10℃ inhibited the direct germination of the IEs, avoiding the embryo axis removing process. Our results are useful for ensuring that field collection and cryopreservation of the wheat IEs are done correctly to enable tissue culture and genetic transformation.

Effects of inter-culture, arabinogalactan proteins, and hydrogen peroxide on the plant regeneration of wheat immature embryos

The regeneration rate of wheat immature embryo varies among genotypes, howbeit many elite agriculture wheat varieties have low regeneration rates. Optimization of tissue culture conditions and attempts of adding signal molecules are effective ways to increase plant regeneration rate. Inter-culture is one of ways that have not been investigated in plant tissue culture. Moreover, the use of arabinogalactan proteins （AGPs） and hydrogen peroxide （H202） have been reported to increase regeneration rate in a few plant species other than wheat. The current research pioneeringly uses inter-culture of immature embryos of different wheat genotypes, and also investigates impacts of AGP and H2O2 on the induction of embryogenic calli and plant regeneration. As a result, high-frequency regeneration wheat cultivars Kenong 199 （KN 199） and Xinchun 9 （XC9）, together with low-frequency regeneration wheat line Chinese Spring （CS）, presented striking increase in the induction of embryogenic calli and plant regeneration rate of CS through inter-culture strategy, up to 52.19 and 67.98%, respectively. Adding 50 to 200 mg L-1 AGP or 0.005 to 0.01‰ H2O2 to the callus induction medium, enhanced growth of embryogenic calli and plant regeneration rate in quite a few wheat genotypes. At 50 mg L-1 AGP application level in callus induction medium plant regeneration rates of 8.49,409.06 and 283.16% were achieved for Jimai 22 （JM22）, Jingdong 18 （JD18） and Yangmai 18 （YM18）, respectively; whereas at 100 mg L-1 AGP level, CS （105.44%）, Chuannong 16 （CN16） （80.60%） and Ningchun 4 （NC4） （62.87%） acted the best. Moreover CS （79.05%）, JM22 （7.55%）, CN16 （101.87%）, YM18 （365.56%）, Yangmai 20 （YM20） （10.48%）, and CB301 （187.40%） were more responsive to 0.005 %o of H2O2, and NC4 （35.37%） obtained the highest shoot regeneration rates at 0.01%o of H2O2. Overall, these two methods, inter-culture and AGP （or H2O2） application, can be further applied to wheat transgenic research.

Genetic and agronomic traits stability of marker-free transgenic wheat plants generated from Agrobacterium-mediated co-transformation in T2 and T3 generations

Genetically modified wheat has not been commercially utilized in agriculture largely due to regulatory hurdles associated with traditional transformation methods. Development of marker-free transgenic wheat plants will help to facilitate biosafety evaluation and the eventual environmental release of transgenic wheat varieties. In this study, the marker-free transgenic wheat plants previously obtained by Agrobacterium-mediated co-transformation of double T-DNAs vector were identified by fluorescence in situ hybridization(FISH) in the T1 generation, and their genetic stability and agronomic traits were analyzed in T2 and T3 generations. FISH analysis indicated that the transgene often integrated into a position at the distal region of wheat chromosomes. Furthermore, we show that the GUS transgene was stably inherited in the marker-free transgenic plants in T1 to T3 generations. No significant differences in agronomic traits or grain characteristics were observed in T3 generation, with the exception of a small variation in spike length and grains per spike in a few lines. The selection marker of bar gene was not found in the transgenic plants through T1 to T3 generations. The results from this investigation lay a solid foundation for the potential application of the marker-free transgenic wheat plants achieved through the co-transformation of double T-DNAs vector by Agrobacterium in agriculture after biosafty evaluation.

A genetic evidence of chromosomal fragment from bridge parent existing in substitution lines between two common wheat varieties

Locating of important agronomic genes onto chromosome is helpful for efficient development of new wheat varieties. Wheat chromosome substitution lines between two varieties have been widely used for locating genes because of their distinctive advantages in genetic analysis, compared with the aneuploid genetic materials. Apart from the substituted chromosome, the other chromosomes between the substitution lines and their recipient parent should be identical, which eases the gene locating practice. In this study, a set of chromosome substitution lines with cv. Wichita （WI） as the recipient parent and cv. Cheyenne （CNN） as the donor parent were studied for the composition of high molecular weight glutenin subunits （HMW-GS） as well as a range of agronomic important traits. Results revealed that the substitution lines of WI（CNN5D）, WI（CNN6A） and WI（CNN7B） had higher plant heights than the two parents of WI and CNN, and WI（CNN3D） had later maturity than the parents. By sodium dodecyl sulfate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis （SDS-PAGE） and matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry （MALDI-TOF-MS） analysis, a substitution line WI（CNN5B） was found to contain different HMW-GS patterns from its two parents, in which 1 By9 was replaced by 1 By8 on chromosome 1BL. Simple sequence repeat （SSR） analysis confirmed that the variation on 1BL in WI（CNN5B） was originated from Chinese Spring （CS）. It is concluded that chromosomal fragments from bridge material and donor parent were quite often retained in intracultivaral chromosome substitution lines except the substituting chromosomes.
