SRAP Marker Analysis of Genomic Mutation Induced by ^(60)Coγ-Ray Irradiation in Potato (Solanum tuberosum)

[Objective] This study was to explore the mutagenic effect of 60Co γ-ray on Solanum tuberosum chromosomes.[Method] The 60Co γ-ray at different irradiation doses was applied to treat the minitubers of potato variety ＇Favorita＇,and the genomic mutations in VM1 and VM2 gene rations in treatments with different doses were analyzed by SRAP markers.[Resalt] Thirty pairs of SRAP primers out of 88 pairs exhibited polymorphism with a rate of 34.1％ in the bulked selection of VM1 generation.A total of 225 bands were obtained,of which 64 were polymorphic with a rate of 28.4％.The polymorphism was reflected in the forms of deleted bands and added bands.Based on the result of the bulked selection of VM1 generation,25 primers with polymorphism were selected to scan VM2 generation.Five primers performed poorly,and nine of the rest 20 pairs revealed polymorphism and obtained nine polymorphic bands,of which only four bands were detected in VM1 generation and the other five ones were newly deleted bands.Only 9.8％ of the bands detected in VM1 generation were obtained in VM2 generation.Eventually,nine stable and dear polymorphic bands were recovered and cloned,and DNA sequences of six bands of them were acquired by sequencing.According to the comparative analysis,five fragments sequences were similar to potato chromosome with a similarity rate of 77％-89％,three of them located at the resistance gene cluster; another one fragment had a similarity of 93％ with some regions of the No.5 chromosome in tomato.[Conclusion] 60Co γ-ray irradiation can cause mutation of genomic DNA in potato;there is no significant correlation between the number of polymorphic bands and the irradiation dose; potymorphic bands are characterized by a larger number of deleted bands than that of the added ones.

[Objective] This study aimed to investigate the effects of different pretreat- ments on enzymatic saccharification of Miscanthus sinensis and improve reducing sugar yield in the enzymolysis process. [Method] M. sinensis was pretreated with 60Co y-ray irradiation and alkaline hydrogen peroxide, to analyze their effects on re- ducing sugar yield of enzymatic hydrolysis. [Result] After pretreatment with 400 kGy 60Co y-ray irradiation, reducing sugar yield in the enzymolysis process of M sinensis was 76.24 mg/g; after synergic pretreatment with 400 kGy 60Co y-ray irradiation and alkaline hydrogen peroxide, reducing sugar yield in the enzymolysis process of M. sinensis was 505.08 mg/g, which was improved by 5.6 times compared to that in pretreatment with 400 kGy 60Co y-ray irradiation. Based on process optimization, the optimal hydrolysis conditions were obtained： pretreatment temperature 30 ℃, NaOH concentration 1.2%, hydrogen peroxide concentration 2%, pretreatment time 6 h. [Conclusion] Synergic pretreatment with 60Co y-ray irradiation and alkaline hydrogen peroxide could significantly improve reducing sugar yield in the enzymolysis process of M. sinensis, which provided a new theoretical basis for preparing fuel ethanol with M. sinensis.

Investigation on the Appropriate Dose of ^(60)Co-γ Irradiation for Tubers of Purple Sweet Potato

[Objective] This study aimed to investigate the appropriate dose of 60^Co-γ irradiation for tubers of purple sweet potato.[Methods] The tubers of two purple sweet potato varieties Xuzi L-7 and Yuenanzi were used as experimental materials,and treated with 60^Co-γ irradiation at different doses（0,25,50,75,100,125 and 150 Gy） to determine the emergence rate,number of emerged seedlings per tuber and fresh weight per seedling.[Results] After the 60^Co-γ irradiation at different doses,the emergence period of tubers was postponed while the emergence rate,number of emerged seedlings per tuber and fresh weight per plant were decreased,and the differences between different varieties and different irradiation doses reached significance level.Compared with the control,the emergence period of tubers at irradiation doses above 25 Gy were postponed by 2,3,5,6 and 12 d,respectively.[Conclusion] The half lethal dose（LD50） of Xuzi L-7 was 66.73 Gy,and that of Yuenanzi was 74.96 Gy.

Preparation and Characterization of Fe3O4 Magnetic Nano-particles by ^（60）Co γ-ray Irradiation

By using a new method, ^60Co γ-ray irradiation, Fe3O4 magnetic nano-particles were successfully synthesized at room temperature under ambient pressure. The structure, morphology and magnetic properties of these nanoparticles were characterized by X-ray diffraction （XRD）, transmission electron microscope （TEM） and vibrating sample magnetometer （VSM）, respectively. The radiation formation mechanism was also discussed. The results show that the absorbed dose can greatly influence the structure, morphology and magnetic properties of the products. XRD and TEM studies show that the product prepared by γ-ray irradiation （10 kGy） is pure FesO4 phase and the mean diameter of these nano-particles is about 21 nm. The Fe3O4 nano-particles synthesized by γ-ray irradiation （10 kGy） are mainly in small cubic shape and the size uniformity of these particles is good.

Transfection of p27^(kip1) enhances radiosensitivity induced by ^(60)Co γ-irradiation in hepatocellular carcinoma HepG_2 cell line

AIM: To study the cell cycle alterations of human hepatoma cell line HepG2 in vitro after ^60Co γ-irradiation and further to examine the mechanisms underlying the enhancement of radiosensitivity to γ-irradiation in HepG2 transiently transfected with wild type p27^kip1. METHODS: The proliferation of HepG2 cells was evaluated with MTT assay, and the cell cycle profile and apoptosis were assessed by cell morphology, DNA fragmentation analysis and flow cytometry. HepG2 cells were transfectedwith p27^kip1 wild type by using Lipofectamine (LF2000), and the expression and subcellular localization of p27^kip1 in HepG2 were detected by immunocytochemistry.RESULTS: ^60Co γ-irradiation inhibited the growth of HepG2 cells in a dose-dependent manner. Apoptosis of HepG2 cells was induced 48 h after ~, ray exposure. Furthermore research was carried out to induce exogenous expression of p27^kip1 in HepG2. The expression of p27^kip1 induced G0/G1 phase arrest in HepG2 cells. The overexpression of p27^kip1 enhanced ^60Co γ-irradiation-induced radiosensitivity in HepG2 cells. CONCLUSION: Overexpression of p27^kip1 is a rational approach to improve conventional radiotherapy outcomes, which may be a possible strategy for human hepatoma therapy.

Efficient Extraction of Tea Saponin from Tea Seed Meals by ^(60)Coγ-Irradiation

In order to simplify the extraction process of tea saponin and improve its extraction rate,tea seed meals was taken as materials to explore effects of ^(60)Coγ-irradiation and H_(2)O_(2) on the extraction rate of tea saponin.The results showed that the optimal crude extract condition of tea saponin was 6%H_(2)O_(2) and an irradiation dose of 5 kGy,the extraction rate was 46.4%.However,when the irradiation dose and the H_(2)O_(2) concentration continued to increase,the extraction rate of tea saponin decreased.After flocculate extraction,the tea saponin content increased from 40.80%to 48.32%.Foaming property test results showed that the higher the tea saponin content in the solution was,the higher the foaming height will be,and the foam had a certain stability.This work provided a new method for the extraction of natural products,usingγ-ray irradiation and H_(2)O_(2) pretreatment to improve the extraction rate,and this was of great significance for industrial extraction.

The effects of ^(60)Co γ-ray irradiation on the DC characteristics of enhancement-mode AlGaN/GaN high-electron-mobility transistors

The effects of ^60Co γ-ray irradiation on the DC characteristics of AlGaN/GaN enhancement-mode high-electron- mobility transistors （E-mode HEMTs） are investigated. The results show that having been irradiated by^60Co γ-rays at a dose of 3 Mrad （Si）, the E-mode HEMT reduces its saturation drain current and maximal transconductance by 6% and 5%, respectively, and significantly increases both forward and reverse gate currents, while its threshold voltage is affected only slightly. The obvious performance degradation of E-mode A1GaN/GaN HEMTs is consistent with the creation of electronegative surface state charges in the source-gate spacer and gate-drain spacer after being irradiated.

Differential Expression of Retrotransposon WIS 2-1A Response to Vacuum, Low-Energy N^+ Implantation and ^(60)Coγ-ray Irradiation in Wheat

Mutagenesis and retrotransposons have a close relationship, but little attention has been paid yet to the activity of retrotransposons produced by physical mutagens. The variation of retrotransposon WIS 2-1A activity in wheat （Triticum aestivum L.） embryos at three different growth times （30 h, 45 h and 60 h） was investigated after they had been treated with N^＋ implantation in a vacuum of 5× 10^-2 Pa and irradiation by ^60Coγ-ray respectively. For each of the three growth times the expression of WIS 2-1A showed almost entirely a same trend of downregulation, upregulation, then downregulation, and upregulation again with the increase in dose of N^＋ implantation, but the expression appeared irregular with the increase in irradiation of ^60Coγ-ray. In conclusion, the acutely activating effect of WIS 2-1A stimulated by vacuum and high dose N^＋ implantation within a shorter incubation time may provide a convenient tool to advance the research on mutagenic breeding and function genes.

为了探究辐射诱变对“白花锦带花”和“锦带花”形态及生理特性的影响,采用不同剂量(0~300 Gy)的^(60)Co-γ射线辐射“白花锦带花”与“锦带花”休眠期种子,观测辐射对锦带花生长的影响,测定其生长量及幼苗叶片的叶绿素含量、叶绿素荧光指标、光合作用参数、SOD、POD、MDA和可溶性蛋白含量。研究结果显示,由于辐射剂量的增大,苗高、叶长、叶宽、节间距、叶绿素荧光、光合作用参数、SOD活性、POD活性出现了明显的先升高后降低的趋势,在50 Gy时到达了峰值。同时,随着辐射剂量的增加,叶绿素含量和可溶性蛋白含量呈现出下降的趋势,MDA含量明显升高。综上所述,在(2 Gy/min)剂量率的辐射条件下“白花锦带花”种子较适宜的诱变剂量为50 Gy,而“锦带花”以50~100 Gy最合适。

不同剂量^(60)Co-γ射线辐照藜麦种子的效应研究

为了研究^(60)Co-γ射线辐照在藜麦育种中的应用,探讨^(60)Co-γ射线辐射诱变藜麦的适宜剂量,本研究利用4种剂量^(60)Co-γ辐射4个不同藜麦品种,对辐射后的种子进行室内发芽试验和田间种植试验,并对M1代的生育过程、畸变率、突变率进行了调查和分析。结果表明,经过150~450 Gy的辐照剂量处理后,藜麦的形态特征和生长表现出显著变化;发芽率呈先上升后下降的趋势,150 Gy剂量可促进种胚活力,250 Gy以上剂量显著降低发芽率;辐射导致出苗延迟,高剂量下甚至无法正常出苗,出苗率也显著降低,表明辐射对幼苗生长产生负面影响;成株率随辐射剂量增加而下降,幼苗自然枯死增多,说明辐射对发芽种子胚芽的继续发育抑制显著;辐射导致遗传变异,包括早熟、矮化、穗颜色等方面,突变频率随剂量增加而增加。综上可知,藜麦的生长、发芽、出苗、成株等受到辐射剂量影响,适度辐射可促进发芽,但高剂量对生长和遗传特性产生负面效应。本研究对于辐射育种的可行性和作物改良意义重大,但需深入研究其机制和应用潜力。
