The test Zn￣(2+) ion concentration was made up from zinc sulphate (ZnSO4. 7H2O) ranging from 10￣(-7) to 10￣(-2) mol/L. The solutions were prepared in tap water (pH =6. 5).The results indicated that Zn￣(2+) could obviously inhibit root growth at concentrations from 10￣(-4)to 10￣(-2) mol/L.Roots treated with zinc sulphate showed the presence of c-mitosis, anaphase bridges,including sticky and fluidized bridges (at 10￣(-3) to 10￣(-2) mol/L) , chromosome stickiness, irregularly shaped nuclei, broken nuclei and micronuclei. A toxicity effect was also observed on the nucleoli using silver staining technique after 48h of treatment with 10￣(-4)to 10￣(-2) mol/L Zn￣(2+), e. g,the nucleolar particulate material scattered around the nucleoli in the nucleus of root tip cells.展开更多

The results indicated that after the treatment with Cd￣(2+),different changes in nucleolar morphology appeared. The nucleolar material was extruded from the nucleus into the cytoplasm,and the nucleoli at mitotic metaphase did not disappear. Apparently,cadmium showed a specific effects on the nucleoli in root tip cells of Allium cepa. The possible mechanism behind this phenomenon is also briefly discussed.展开更多

However, there is little information available about the expression patterns of mi RNAs and their targets in Chinese cabbage(Brassica rapa ssp. pekinensis) under Plasmodiophora brassicae stress. In the present study, using deep sequencing and degradome analysis, a genome-wide identification of mi RNAs and their targets during P. brassicae stress was performed. A total of 221 known and 93 potentially novel mi RNAs were successfully identified from two root libraries of one control(635-10CK) and P. brassicae-treated Chinese cabbage samples(635-10T). Of these, 14 known and 10 potentially novel mi RNAs were found to be differentially expressed after P. brassicae treatment. Degradome analysis revealed that the 223 target genes of the 75 mi RNAs could be potentially cleaved. KEGG(Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes)pathway analysis suggested that the putative target genes of the mi RNAs were predominately involved in selenocompound metabolism and plant hormone signal transduction. Then the expression of 12 mi RNAs was validated by quantitative real-time PCR(q RT-PCR). These results provide insights into the mi RNA-mediated regulatory networks underlying the stress response to the plant pathogen P. brassicae.展开更多
