我国中药材新品种保护与DUS测试指南研制现状

我国植物新品种保护工作起步较晚,特别是中药材植物新品种保护相对较弱,特异性、一致性、稳定性(DUS)测试指南的研制相对落后。中华人民共和国农业农村部颁布的191个种(属)植物保护名录中直接涉及中药材的仅有20个种(属)。目前,中药材植物新品种保护申请量为125件,授权16件。通过概述我国中药材新品种选育进展、统计中药材植物新品种权申请和授权情况,论述我国中药材新品种保护及DUS测试指南研制现状;结合农业和林业作物新品种保护现状,分析我国中药材植物新品种保护存在数量稀少、中药材植物DUS测试指南研制质量不高等问题的原因。建议我国中药材育种专家提高知识产权保护意识,进而对我国中药材植物DUS测试指南研制方向进行展望。

Effect of exogenous GA3 on flowering quality, endogenous hormones, and hormone-and flowering-associated gene expression in forcing-cultured tree peony（Paeonia suffruticosa）

Gibberellins(GAs)promote flowering in the forcing-cultured tree peony(Paeonia suffruticosa),however,the mechanism of regulating flowering is not fully understood.In this study,exogenous GA3 was applied to five-year-old Luoyang Hong plants to explore responses in terms of endogenous hormones,flowering quality,and the hormone-and flowering-associated gene expression.Exogenous GA3 application significantly promoted flower bud development and new branch growth,as well as improved flowering quality.Exogenous GA3 application also stimulated the synthesis of endogenous GA3 and indole-3-acetic acid(IAA)but reduced abscisic acid(ABA)levels.To further elucidate the regulatory mechanism,eight genes for GA biosynthesis and signaling,including PsCPS,PsKS,PsGA3ox,PsGA2ox,PsGID1b,PsGID1c,PsDELLA,and PsGID2 were cloned for the first time,and sequence analysis was also performed.The results suggested that all the cloned genes have conserved structure as each homologous gene reported in the other species.Phylogenetic trees constructed by the each cloned gene showed that the phylogenetic evolutionary relationship of P.suffruticosa was closely related to Vitis vinifera.The expression patterns of the above genes,and genes for ABA and IAA biosynthetic and signaling,and the flowering time were also investigated.Most of the above genes showed higher expression in the control buds than those in the GA3 treated buds at six developmental stages,whereas the expression levels of PsSOC1 and PsSPL9 were up-regulated by GA3 treatment.The results also showed that the GA-biosynthetic and signaling pathways are conserved in tree peony,and the PsCPS,PsGA3ox,PsGA2ox,PsGID1,PsDELLA,and PsGID2 genes are necessary for feedback regulation of GAs.Furthermore,hormone changes promoted PsSOC1 and PsSPL9 expression,and repressed PsSVP expression,which contributed to the improvement flowering quality in tree peony of forcing culture.

Fatty acid analysis in the seeds of 50 Paeonia ostii individuals from the same population

Tree peony seeds are rich in α-linolenic acid(ALA), and the peony seed oil is now being produced in China. Paeonia ostii is the most widely used tree peony species for oil extraction, which is commercially called Fengdan and treated as a single cultivar. Here, 50 P. ostii individuals from the same population in northern China were randomly selected for fatty acids(FAs) analysis. Thirteen FAs were isolated, and the most abundant five were palmitic acid(5.31–6.99%), stearic acid(1.22–2.76%), oleic acid(18.78–28.15%), linoleic acid(11.86–26.10%), and ALA(41.11–57.51%). There were significant individual differences of plants in FA quality and quantity and the linoleic acid content in Plant No. 48 even exceeded the scope of 1–99%. Further statistical analysis indicated that most of the individual FAs, saturated FAs, unsaturated FAs, and total FAs levels showed significant positive correlations to each other, whereas the seed yield per plant was independent and not correlated to the factors mentioned above. Ward’s hierarchical clustering results grouped the 50 plants into four clusters based on FA contents and seed yield, and the seven plants in Cluster IV were identified as good candidates for oil production. Our results confirmed that the individual differences did occur in P. ostii and Fengdan cannot be simply treated as one uniform cultivar. Also, these results may help simplify the selection of plants for oil peony breeding and accelerate the development of the oil peony industry.

2017—2019年浙江省温州市经性传播感染的HIV/AIDS感染来源及特征分析

目的分析2017—2019年浙江省温州市经性传播感染的HIV/AIDS感染来源和特征,为艾滋病综合防治措施的调整提供依据。方法以2017—2019年温州市鹿城区和永嘉县新发现的经性传播感染的HIV/AIDS为研究对象,调查收集其人口学、性行为、流动情况等信息,并采血检测首次CD4^(+)T淋巴细胞计数,运用Epi Data 3.1和SAS大学版软件进行数据整理和统计分析。结果 342名调查对象以男性、25~59岁年龄段为主,未婚、初中及以下文化程度、外地迁入者居多。经感染来源判定,新感染比例为22.42%,本地感染比例为71.00%。15~24岁以下年龄组、未婚病例新感染比例高,分别为33.33%和31.54%;60岁及以上年龄组、教师/干部/退休等职业、大专及以上文化程度病例本地感染比例高,分别为94.74%、87.80%和81.43%;新感染病例曾发生非商业临时异性性行为、固定性伴同性性行为的比例分别为60.87%和39.53%,高于既往感染病例(χ^(2)=3.967,P=0.047;χ^(2)=4.314,P=0.038);本地感染病例曾发生非商业临时同性性行为比例为98.26%,高于外地感染病例(P=0.036)。结论 2017—2019年温州市经性传播感染的HIV/AIDS以既往感染和本地感染为主,青年、老年及高知人群不容忽视,应加强对非商业临时性行为的干预。
