In Glycine max, the rbcS polypeptide (EC4.1.1.39) is encoded by a gene family containing 4-8 members. Three full-length rbcS cDNA clones were isolated and characterized from soybean seedlings, and both of their nucleotide and amino acid sequences showed high similarity. Differential accumulation of the rbcS mRNA was observed among roots, hypocotyls, cotyledons, epicotyls and leaves. The rbcS genes were up-regulated by various external factors such as salicylic acid (SA), salt stress and drought stress. The expression level of rbcS genes after being treated by 2.0 mmol/L SA and0.4% NaCl, respectively, is 2.5-3.0-fold as high as that of control sample. Moreover, soybean rbcS mRNA was accu-mulated with diurnal variation but easily influenced by light and low temperature.展开更多

[Method] Taking Magnoliophyta crops such as corn and rice as research materials, the analysis on molecular adaptive evolution was carded out by using codon replacement and maximum likelihood methods. [ Result] The RubisCO suffered positive selection effect and six amino acid sites were identified. [ Conclusion] The six amino acid sites are of important guiding significance for studying catalytic activity of RubisCO large subunits and crop improvement.展开更多

[Method] The tender leaf blade of wild barley under salt stress was taken as the experimental material. The primers were designed according to the homology of rbcS gene sequences of wheat and barely in Genbank; then PCR amplification,recovery,ligation,transformation and sequencing of rbcS gene were carried out. [Result] Two rbcS genes including rbcS1 and rbcS2 with the length of 1 252 and 908 bp respectively were cloned from the barely genome. rbcS1 and rbcS2 were both composed by two exons and one intron. The exons length of the two genes was the same of 525 bp,encoding 174 amino acids,and the homology between them was 96%; however,the intron length of rbcS1 and rbcS2 was 448 and 107 bp respectively.展开更多
