A specialized test of two-hybrid library type three-frame cDNA yeast for Muskmelon Fusarium oxysporum using the switching mechanism at the 5'end of RNA template(SMART)technology was constructed to screen for interaction protein genes for wilt disease and to further research the molecular mechanisms of Fusarium oxysporum pathogenesis to explain the interactions between plant and pathogen.A 500-bp cDNA was purified and extracted using SMART and LD-PCR technology to synthesize ds cDNA and was then homogenized and purified to remove the fragments.After processing,the ds cDNA was connected to three types of reading frame pGADT7-SfiI carriers,and the three connection products in E.coli Electrocell were used to build the primary cDNA library.The titer of three ORF cDNA primary library storage capacities was 2.6×10^6,1.8×10^6 and 3×10^6 cfu;the PCR identification of the ORF 1 and 2 gene recombination rate was 94%,the ORF 3 gene recombination rate was 100%,and the insert length distribution was 0.5-4.0 kb as a single band.To reach the quality requirements for library construction,three kinds of reading frame cDNA primary libraries were mixed and amplified,and the plasmid was transformed into the Y187 yeast strain.The titer of the Y187 yeast library was determined to be 3.5×107 cfu?mL-1,and the base of the yeast library was approximately 1 600 000 cfu.The results showed that the construction of muskmelon Fusarium-specific two-hybrid library type three-frame cDNA yeast had a higher reservoir capacity and recombination rate and met the yeast two-hybrid screening requirements.

Construction of a Normalized Full-Length cDNA Library of Sesame Developing Seed by DSN and SMART^(TM)

Sesame （Sesamue indicum L.） is one of the most important oilseed crops with high oil yield. Here, we described a simple and efficient method for constructing a normalized cDNA library from a high oil content cultivar of sesame Zhongzhi 14, during its oil accumulation stages. It combined switching mechanism at 5？end of RNA transcript （SMART） technique and duplex-specific nuclease （DSN） normalization methods. Double-stranded cDNAs were synthesized from mRNAs, processed by normalization and Sfi I restriction endonuclease, and finally the cDNAs were ligated to pDNR-LIB vector. The ligation mixture was transformed into Escherichia coli DH10B by electroporation. The capacity of the library was 1.0？06 clones in this library. Gel electrophoresis results indicated the fragments ranged from 700 to 2 000 bp, with the average size of 1 800 bp. Random picking clones showed that the recombination rate was 100%. The results showed that the cDNA library constructed successfully was a full-length library with high quality, and could be used to screen the genes related to development of oil synthesis.

Construction of SMART cDNA Library of Sheep Ovary and Identification of Candidate Gene by Homologous Cloning

The cDNA library of an ovary from Small Tail Han sheep before estrus was constructed by switching mechanism at 5＇ end of RNA transcript （SMART） approach. This library had a plaque titer of 1 x 109 pfu mL-1 and a 96% recombinant ratio of which the fragment length of inserted average cDNA sequences was 1.0 kb.

The EST Analysis of A Suppressive Subtraction cDNA Library of Chinese Wild Vitis pseudoreticulata Inoculated with Uncinula necator

Uncinula necator is a worldwide serious fungus disease causing annual heavy lost on grapevine production. In order to get more informations on defense related EST sequences and help breeding program, we constructed and characterized a suppression subtractive hybridization cDNA library with artificially inoculated leaves and control Chinese wild Vitis pseudoreticulata clone Baihe-35-1, which is highly resistant to powdery mildew. In the library, the length of 58 EST fragments known as putative functions varied from 130 to 800 bp, and 60% of the ESTs exhibited high similarity to known sequences in database of GenBank with BLASTX analysis. These genes were involved in stress/defense response, detoxification, signal transduction, disease defense, and etc., and 14 ESTs remained unknown or hypothetical proteins, which may be new genes. The experiment provided an important basis for studying the disease-resistance mechanism and obtaining the genes for the aim of improving grapevine powdery mildew resistance.

RAPID SCREENING OF AN ARRAYED cDNA LIBRARY BY IMPROVED PCR-BASED METHOD

The present study reports an improved PCR-based technique that allows quick and effective screening of cDNA libraries. First, the cDNA library was arrayed as follow: about 3 X 10’ cDNA clones were multiplied as individual plaques on solid medium in 24-well culture dishes at 1 200 plaque forming units per well. The phage suspension of each well was transferred to an individual microcentrifuge tube in 72-tube box. Then, box pool, row pools and column pools were set up that respectively represent a 72-tube box, rows and columns within the box. To screen a specific target cDNA,primers specific for novel ESTs ob- tained in our laboratory were employed to conduct PCR in a hierarchy mode. PCR began with the box pools, resulting in the identification of some Positive box pools. Then PCR went down to the row and col- umn pools of the positive box. The intersection of the positive row (s) and column (s) revealed the candi- date positive tubes. The specificity of PCR products were meanwhile checked by restriction enzyme diges- tion. Finally, hybridization was carried out to get single specific cDNA clomes from the positive tubes. This PCR-based technique features high specificity, high efficiency and less-cost in large-scale cDNA library screening. Our initial implementation of the technique resulted in the isolation of three longer different cD- NA clones from a human fetal brain cDNA library. Thus this improved technique can serve as an alterna-tive to the time-consuming and laborious conventional hybridization-based method for screening cDNA li-brary.

Generation and Analysis of Expressed Sequence Tags(ESTs) from Muscle Full-Length cDNA Library of Wujin Pig

Porcine skeletal muscle genes play a major role in determining muscle growth and meat quality. Construction of a full-length cDNA library is an effective way to understand the expression of functional genes in muscle tissues. In addition, novel genes for further research could be identified in the library. In this study, we constructed a full-length cDNA library from porcine muscle tissue. The estimated average size of the cDNA inserts was 1 076 bp, and the cDNA fullness ratio was 86.2%. A total of 1 058 unique sequences with 342 contigs （32.3%） and 716 singleton （67.7%） expressed sequence tags （EST） were obtained by clustering and assembling. Meanwhile, 826 （78.1%） ESTs were categorized as known genes, and 232 （21.9%） ESTs were categorized as unknown genes. 65 novel porcine genes that exhibit no identity in the TIGR gene index of Sus scrofa and 124 full-length sequences with unknown functions were deposited in the dbEST division of GenBank （accession numbers： EU650784-EU650788, GE843306, GH228978-GH229100）. The abundantly expressed genes in porcine muscle tissue were related to muscle fiber development, energy metabolism and protein synthesis. Gene ontology analysis showed that sequences expressed in porcine muscle tissue contained a high percentage of binding activity, catalytic activity, structural molecule activity and motor activity, which involved mainly in metabolic, cellular and developmental process, distributed mainly in intracellular region. The sequence data generated in this study would provide valuable information for identifying porcine genes expressed in muscle tissue and help to advance the study on the structure and function of genes in pigs.
