The mutant showed white striped leaves at the seedling stage and the leaves gradually turned green after the tillering stage. The chlorophyll content of wsll was significantly lower than that of wild-type during the fourth leaf stage, tillering stage and booting stage. The numbers of chloroplast, grana and grana lamella were reduced and the thylakoids were degenerated in wsll compared with wild type. Genetic analysis showed that the wsll was controlled by a single recessive gene. Molecular mapping of the wsll was performed using an F2 population derived from wsll/Nanjing 11. The wsll was finally mapped on the telomere region of chromosome 9 and positioned between simple sequence repeat markers RM23742 and RM23759 which are separated by approximately 486.5 kb. The results may facilitate map-based cloning of wsll and understanding of the molecular mechanism of the regulation of leaf-color by WSL1 in rice.展开更多

Compared with ...The anatomical and chemical characteristics of a rolling leaf mutant (rlm) of rice (Oryza sativa L.) and its ecophysiological properties in photosynthesis and apoplastic transport were investigated. Compared with the wild type (WT), the areas of whole vascular bundles and xylem as well as the ratios of xylem area/whole vascular bundles area and xylem area/phloem area were higher in rim, whereas the area and the width of foliar bulliform cell were lower. The Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) microspectroscopy spectra of foliar cell walls differed greatly between rim and WT. The rim exhibited lower protein and polysaccharide contents of foliar cell walls. An obvious reduction of pectin content was also found in rim by biochemical measurements. Moreover, the rate of photosynthesis was depressed while the conductance of stoma and the intercellular CO2 concentration were enhanced in rim. The PTS fluorescence, which represents the ability of apoplastic transport, was 11% higher in rim than in WT. These results suggest that the changes in anatomical and chemical characteristics of foliar vascular bundles, such as the reduction of proteins, pectins, and other polysaccharides of foliar cell walls, participate in the leaf rolling mutation, and consequently lead to the reduced photosynthetic dynamics and apoplastic transport ability in the mutant.展开更多

A naturally-occurring leaf-color rice mutant, Baihuaidao 7, was analyzed. Mutant plants typically exhibited a green-white-green leaf-color progression, but this phenotype was only expressed in the presence of a stress signal induced by mechanical scarification such as transplantation. Prior to the appearance of white ~eaves, mutant plant growth, leaf color, chlorophyll content, and chloroplast ultrastructure appeared to be identical to those of the wild type. After the changeover to white leaf color, an examination of the mutated leaves revealed a decrease in total chlorophyll, chlorophyll a, chlorophyll b, and carotenoid content, a reduction in the number of chloroplast grana lamella and grana, and a gradual degradation of the thylakoid lamellas. At maturity, the mutant plant was etiolated and dwarfed compared with wild-type plants. Genetic analysis indicated that the leaf mutant character is controlled by a recessive nuclear gene. Genetic mapping of the mutant gene was performed using an F2 population derived from a Baihuaidao 7 ~ Jiangxi 1587 cross. The mutant gene was mapped to rice chromosome 11, positioned between InDel markers L59.2-7 and L64.8-11, which are separated by approximately 740.5 kb. The mutant gene is believed to be a new leaf-color mutant gene in rice, and is tentatively designated as gwgl.展开更多

Brown lesions randomly distributed on leaf blades were observed about 3 wk after sowing. The symptom lasted for the whole plant growth duration. Histochemical analysis indicated that cell death occurred in and around the site of necrotic lesions accompanied with accumulation of hydrogen hyperoxide. Agronomic traits were largely similar to the wild type IR64 except seed setting rate and 1 000-grain weight which were significantly decreased in the mutant. Disease resistance of the mutant to multiple races of Xanthomonas oryzae pv. oryzae was significantly enhanced. Genetic analysis showed that the mutation was controlled by a single recessive gene, tentatively termed splHM143. In addition, using molecular markers and 1023 mutant type individuals from an F2 segregating population derived from the cross HM143/R9308, the spotted-leaf gene was finally delimited to an interval of 149 kb between markers XX25 and ID40 on the long arm of chromosome 4. splHM143 is likely a novel rice spotted-leaf gene since no other similar genes have been identified near the chromosomal region.展开更多

The le...A novel phytoplasma was detected in a cherry plum(Prunus cerasifera Ehrh) tree that mainly showed yellow leaf symptom. The tree was growing in an orchard located in Yangling District, Shaanxi Province, China. The leaves started as chlorotic and yellowing along leaf minor veins and leaf tips. Chlorosis rapidly developed to inter-veinal areas with the whole leaf becoming pale yellow in about 1-4 wk. Large numbers of phytoplasma-like bodies(PLBs) were seen under transmission electron microscopy. The majority of the PLBs was spherical or elliptical vesicles, with diameters in range of 0.1-0.6 μm, and distributed in the phloem cells of the infected tissues. A 1 246-bp 16 S ribosomal RNA(rRNA) gene fragment was amplified from DNA samples extracted from the yellow leaf tissues using two phytoplasma universal primer pairs R16mF2/R16mR1 and R16F2n/R16R2. Phylogenetic analysis using the 16 S rRNA gene sequence suggested that the phytoplasma associated with the yellow leaf symptoms belongs to a novel subclade in the aster yellows(AY) group(16SrI group). Virtual and actual restriction fragment length polymorphism(RFLP) analysis of the 16 S rRNA gene fragment revealed that the phytoplasma was distinguishable from all existing 19 subgroups in the AY group(16SrI) by four restriction sites, Hinf I, Mse I, Sau3 A I and Taq I. The similarity coefficients of comparing the RFLP pattern of the 16 S rRNA gene fragment of this phytoplasma to each of the 19 reported subgroups ranged from 0.73 to 0.87, which indicates the phytoplasma associated with the cherry plum yellow leaf(CPYL) symptoms is probably a distinct and novel subgroup lineage in the AY group(16SrI). In addition, the novel phytoplasma was experimentally transmitted to periwinkle(Catharanthus roseus) plants from the tree with CPYL symptoms and then back to a healthy 1-yr-old cherry plum tree via dodder(Cuscuta odorata) connections.展开更多

In comparison with the wild type parent, the mutant displayed a phenotype of white stripe on the 3rd and 4th leaves, but began to turn normal green on the 5th leaf when grown at low temperatures (20℃ and 24℃). Furthermore, the content of total chlorophyll showed an obvious decrease in the leaves with white stripe. These results suggest that the expression of the mutant trait was thermo-sensitive and correlated with the leaf age of seedlings. The genetic analysis indicated that the mutant trait was controlled by a single recessive nuclear gene, designated as tws. In addition, by using SSR markers and an F2 segregating population derived from the cross between the tws mutant and 9311, tws was mapped between the markers MM3907 and MM3928 with a physical distance of 86 kb on dce chromosome 4.展开更多

After inoculation ...The interaction between rice host and its pathogen Xanthomonas oryzae pv. oryzae (Xoo) at cellular level was studied by using a resistant somaclonal mutant HX-3 and its susceptable donor Minghui 63. After inoculation with Xoo strain Zhe 173 (Chinese pathotype Ⅳ), the activity of superoxide dismutase (SOD) and peroxidase (POD) in the callus of Minghui 63 was increased dramatically, and the active oxygen(O2 ) was produced at a higher rate; Meanwhile, the callus grew slowly with the reduction of protein content Compared to the activity of SOD and POD, the production rate of Oa and the fresh weight in HX-3 callus varied little after the inoculation It could be proposed that there were great differences between the resistance of HX-3 and Mighui 63 at cellular level. There was no difference detected concerning resistance to bacterial leaf blight in HX-3 between the plant and the callus.展开更多
To identify the inheritance pattern and perform fne mapping of ty-5 gene, P1, P2, F1, BC1 and F2 generations were obtained through a cross between CLN32120a-23 (containing ty-5 gene, P1) and S. lycopersicum Moneymak...To identify the inheritance pattern and perform fne mapping of ty-5 gene, P1, P2, F1, BC1 and F2 generations were obtained through a cross between CLN32120a-23 (containing ty-5 gene, P1) and S. lycopersicum Moneymaker (fully susceptible, P2). The results showed that resistance of ty-5 gene was determined by a recessive effect. Meanwhile, it was presumed that another resistance gene might be involved in mediating the resistance to tomato yellow leaf curl virus (TYLCV). In this study, fne mapping was used to map TYLCV resistance locus to an interval between NAC1 and TES2461 on the short arm of chromosome 4 with genetic distances of 0.5 and 0.8 cM, respectively. qRT-PCR results showed that four candidate genes, SlNAC1; LOC104229164; LOC101260925 and LOC101261508 having resistance-related expression patterns, were the likely target genes of ty-5. In addition, it was found that the codominant marker TES2461 could be used in marker-assisted selection (MAS) breeding. The fndings of this research provided the basis for future cloning of ty-5 gene as well as MAS breeding and plant resistance mechanism studies.展开更多

文摘Tomato yellow leaf curl virus(TYLCV)is the dominating pathogen of tomato yellow leaf curl disease that caused severe loss to tomato production in China.In this study,we found that a TYLCV-resistant tomato line drastically reduced the accumulation of viral complementary-sense strand mRNAs but just moderately inhibited that of viral DNA and virion-sense strand mRNAs.However,two other resistant lines did not have such virus inhibition pattern.Analysis of differential expressed genes showed that the potential host defense-relevant processes varied in different resistant tomatoes,as compared to the susceptible line,suggesting a diversity of tomato TYLCV-resistance mechanisms.

文摘Tomato yellow leaf curl virus(TYLCV)is a species of the family Geminiviridae,causing serious yield losses in tomato production.The coat protein(CP)gene of TYLCV isolate SH2 was expressed in Escherichia coli BL21(DE3)using pET-32a as the expression vector.The recombinant protein was purified through Ni+-NTA affinity column and used to immunize BALB/c mice.Three hybridoma cell lines(2B2,2E3 and 3E10)secreting monoclonal antibodies(MAbs)against TYLCV CP were obtained by fusing mouse myeloma cells(Sp 2/0)with spleen cells from the immunized BALB/c mouse.The titers of ascitic fluids of three MAbs ranged from 10-6 to 10-7 in indirect-ELISA.Isotypes and subclasses of all the MAbs belonged to IgG1,κ light chain.Triple antibody sandwich enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay(TAS-ELISA)showed that the MAb 3E10 could react with five begomoviruses infecting tomato,while the other two(2B2 and 2E3)mainly reacted with TYLCV.TAS-ELISA was set up using the MAb 3E10,and the established method could successfully detect virus in plant sap at 1:2 560(w/v,g mL-1).Detection of field samples showed that begomoviruses were common in tomato crops in Zhejiang Province,China.

文摘The leaf is the main photosynthetic organ of plants,and it plays a significant role in the yield of crop species.Identifying the causal mutations and candidate genes that underlie leaf phenotypic variation is an important breeding target in soybean grain yield improvement.An ethyl methyl sulfonate(EMS)-induced soybean mutant DWARFCRINKLEDLEAF1(DCL1)with an aberrant crinkled leaf phenotype was identified in the background of the soybean cultivar Zhongpin 661(Zp661).We constructed an F2 segregating population from a cross between Zp661 and DCL1 in order to investigate the genomic locus associated with the crinkled leaf trait.Using bulk segregant analysis(BSA)combined with the whole-genome resequencing method,the Euclidean distance(ED)correlation algorithm detected 12 candidate genomic regions with a total length of 20.32 Mb that were linked to the target trait.Following a comparative analysis of the sequence data for the wild-type and mutant pools,only one single nucleotide mutation(C:G>T:A)located on the first exon of Glyma.19G207100 was found to be associated with the trait.Candidate gene validation based on a CAPS marker derived from the detected single-nucleotide polymorphism(SNP)indicated a nucleotide polymorphism between the two parents.Therefore,our findings reveal that Glyma.19G207100,which is renamed as GLYCINE MAX DWARF CRINKLED LEAF 1(GmDCL1),is a promising candidate gene involved in the morphogenesis of the crinkled leaf trait of the soybean mutant DCL1.This study provides a basis for the functional validation of this gene,with prospects for soybean breeding targeting grain yield enhancement.

文摘The anatomical and chemical characteristics of a rolling leaf mutant (rlm) of rice (Oryza sativa L.) and its ecophysiological properties in photosynthesis and apoplastic transport were investigated. Compared with the wild type (WT), the areas of whole vascular bundles and xylem as well as the ratios of xylem area/whole vascular bundles area and xylem area/phloem area were higher in rim, whereas the area and the width of foliar bulliform cell were lower. The Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) microspectroscopy spectra of foliar cell walls differed greatly between rim and WT. The rim exhibited lower protein and polysaccharide contents of foliar cell walls. An obvious reduction of pectin content was also found in rim by biochemical measurements. Moreover, the rate of photosynthesis was depressed while the conductance of stoma and the intercellular CO2 concentration were enhanced in rim. The PTS fluorescence, which represents the ability of apoplastic transport, was 11% higher in rim than in WT. These results suggest that the changes in anatomical and chemical characteristics of foliar vascular bundles, such as the reduction of proteins, pectins, and other polysaccharides of foliar cell walls, participate in the leaf rolling mutation, and consequently lead to the reduced photosynthetic dynamics and apoplastic transport ability in the mutant.

文摘Spotted leaf(spl)mutant is a type of leaf lesion mimic mutants in plants.We obtained some lesion mimic mutants from ethyl methane sulfonate(EMS)-mutagenized wheat(Triticum aestivum L.)cultivar Guomai 301(wild type,WT),and one of them was named as white stripe leaf(wsl)mutant because of the white stripes on its leaves.Here we report the heredity and gene mapping of this novel wheat mutant wsl.There are many small scattered white stripes on the leaves of wsl throughout its whole growth period.As the plants grew,the white stripes became more severe and the necrotic area expanded.The mutant wsl grew only weakly before the jointing stage and gradually recovered after jointing.The length and width of the flag leaf,spike number per plant and thousand-grain weight of wsl were significantly lower than those of the WT.Genetic analysis indicated that the trait of white stripe leaf was controlled by a recessive gene locus,named as wsl,which was mapped on the short arm of chromosome 6 B by SSR marker assay.Four SSR markers in the F2 population of wsl×CS were linked to wsl in the order of Xgpw1079–Xwmc104–Xgwm508-wsl–Xgpw7651 at 7.1,5.2,8.7,and 4.4 c M,respectively and three SSR markers in the F2 population of wsl×Jimai 22 were linked to wsl in the order of Xgwm508–Xwmc494–Xgwm518-wsl at 3.5,1.6 and 8.2 c M,respectively.In comparison to the reference genome sequence of Chinese Spring(CS),wsl is located in a 91-Mb region from 88 Mb(Xgwm518)to 179 Mb(Xgpw7651)on chromosome 6 BS.Mutant wsl is a novel germplasm for studying the molecular mechanism of wheat leaf development.

文摘Leaf-color mutations are a widely-observed class of mutations, playing an important role in the study of chlorophyll biosynthesis and plant chloroplast structure, function, genetics and development. A naturally-occurring leaf-color rice mutant, Baihuaidao 7, was analyzed. Mutant plants typically exhibited a green-white-green leaf-color progression, but this phenotype was only expressed in the presence of a stress signal induced by mechanical scarification such as transplantation. Prior to the appearance of white ~eaves, mutant plant growth, leaf color, chlorophyll content, and chloroplast ultrastructure appeared to be identical to those of the wild type. After the changeover to white leaf color, an examination of the mutated leaves revealed a decrease in total chlorophyll, chlorophyll a, chlorophyll b, and carotenoid content, a reduction in the number of chloroplast grana lamella and grana, and a gradual degradation of the thylakoid lamellas. At maturity, the mutant plant was etiolated and dwarfed compared with wild-type plants. Genetic analysis indicated that the leaf mutant character is controlled by a recessive nuclear gene. Genetic mapping of the mutant gene was performed using an F2 population derived from a Baihuaidao 7 ~ Jiangxi 1587 cross. The mutant gene was mapped to rice chromosome 11, positioned between InDel markers L59.2-7 and L64.8-11, which are separated by approximately 740.5 kb. The mutant gene is believed to be a new leaf-color mutant gene in rice, and is tentatively designated as gwgl.

文摘A spotted-leaf mutant of rice HM143 was isolated from an EMS-induced IR64 mutant bank. Brown lesions randomly distributed on leaf blades were observed about 3 wk after sowing. The symptom lasted for the whole plant growth duration. Histochemical analysis indicated that cell death occurred in and around the site of necrotic lesions accompanied with accumulation of hydrogen hyperoxide. Agronomic traits were largely similar to the wild type IR64 except seed setting rate and 1 000-grain weight which were significantly decreased in the mutant. Disease resistance of the mutant to multiple races of Xanthomonas oryzae pv. oryzae was significantly enhanced. Genetic analysis showed that the mutation was controlled by a single recessive gene, tentatively termed splHM143. In addition, using molecular markers and 1023 mutant type individuals from an F2 segregating population derived from the cross HM143/R9308, the spotted-leaf gene was finally delimited to an interval of 149 kb between markers XX25 and ID40 on the long arm of chromosome 4. splHM143 is likely a novel rice spotted-leaf gene since no other similar genes have been identified near the chromosomal region.

文摘A novel phytoplasma was detected in a cherry plum(Prunus cerasifera Ehrh) tree that mainly showed yellow leaf symptom. The tree was growing in an orchard located in Yangling District, Shaanxi Province, China. The leaves started as chlorotic and yellowing along leaf minor veins and leaf tips. Chlorosis rapidly developed to inter-veinal areas with the whole leaf becoming pale yellow in about 1-4 wk. Large numbers of phytoplasma-like bodies(PLBs) were seen under transmission electron microscopy. The majority of the PLBs was spherical or elliptical vesicles, with diameters in range of 0.1-0.6 μm, and distributed in the phloem cells of the infected tissues. A 1 246-bp 16 S ribosomal RNA(rRNA) gene fragment was amplified from DNA samples extracted from the yellow leaf tissues using two phytoplasma universal primer pairs R16mF2/R16mR1 and R16F2n/R16R2. Phylogenetic analysis using the 16 S rRNA gene sequence suggested that the phytoplasma associated with the yellow leaf symptoms belongs to a novel subclade in the aster yellows(AY) group(16SrI group). Virtual and actual restriction fragment length polymorphism(RFLP) analysis of the 16 S rRNA gene fragment revealed that the phytoplasma was distinguishable from all existing 19 subgroups in the AY group(16SrI) by four restriction sites, Hinf I, Mse I, Sau3 A I and Taq I. The similarity coefficients of comparing the RFLP pattern of the 16 S rRNA gene fragment of this phytoplasma to each of the 19 reported subgroups ranged from 0.73 to 0.87, which indicates the phytoplasma associated with the cherry plum yellow leaf(CPYL) symptoms is probably a distinct and novel subgroup lineage in the AY group(16SrI). In addition, the novel phytoplasma was experimentally transmitted to periwinkle(Catharanthus roseus) plants from the tree with CPYL symptoms and then back to a healthy 1-yr-old cherry plum tree via dodder(Cuscuta odorata) connections.

文摘A thermo-sensitive white stripe-leaf mutant (tws) was selected from the M2 progeny of a japonica variety, Jiahua 1, treated by ^60 Co γ-radiation. In comparison with the wild type parent, the mutant displayed a phenotype of white stripe on the 3rd and 4th leaves, but began to turn normal green on the 5th leaf when grown at low temperatures (20℃ and 24℃). Furthermore, the content of total chlorophyll showed an obvious decrease in the leaves with white stripe. These results suggest that the expression of the mutant trait was thermo-sensitive and correlated with the leaf age of seedlings. The genetic analysis indicated that the mutant trait was controlled by a single recessive nuclear gene, designated as tws. In addition, by using SSR markers and an F2 segregating population derived from the cross between the tws mutant and 9311, tws was mapped between the markers MM3907 and MM3928 with a physical distance of 86 kb on dce chromosome 4.
文摘The interaction between rice host and its pathogen Xanthomonas oryzae pv. oryzae (Xoo) at cellular level was studied by using a resistant somaclonal mutant HX-3 and its susceptable donor Minghui 63. After inoculation with Xoo strain Zhe 173 (Chinese pathotype Ⅳ), the activity of superoxide dismutase (SOD) and peroxidase (POD) in the callus of Minghui 63 was increased dramatically, and the active oxygen(O2 ) was produced at a higher rate; Meanwhile, the callus grew slowly with the reduction of protein content Compared to the activity of SOD and POD, the production rate of Oa and the fresh weight in HX-3 callus varied little after the inoculation It could be proposed that there were great differences between the resistance of HX-3 and Mighui 63 at cellular level. There was no difference detected concerning resistance to bacterial leaf blight in HX-3 between the plant and the callus.

文摘To identify the inheritance pattern and perform fne mapping of ty-5 gene, P1, P2, F1, BC1 and F2 generations were obtained through a cross between CLN32120a-23 (containing ty-5 gene, P1) and S. lycopersicum Moneymaker (fully susceptible, P2). The results showed that resistance of ty-5 gene was determined by a recessive effect. Meanwhile, it was presumed that another resistance gene might be involved in mediating the resistance to tomato yellow leaf curl virus (TYLCV). In this study, fne mapping was used to map TYLCV resistance locus to an interval between NAC1 and TES2461 on the short arm of chromosome 4 with genetic distances of 0.5 and 0.8 cM, respectively. qRT-PCR results showed that four candidate genes, SlNAC1; LOC104229164; LOC101260925 and LOC101261508 having resistance-related expression patterns, were the likely target genes of ty-5. In addition, it was found that the codominant marker TES2461 could be used in marker-assisted selection (MAS) breeding. The fndings of this research provided the basis for future cloning of ty-5 gene as well as MAS breeding and plant resistance mechanism studies.
