Biological Effects on Fruit Fly by N^+ ion Beam Implantation

Mutation induced by low energy ion beam implantation has been applied widely both in plants and microbes. However, due to the vacuum limitation, such ion implantation into animals was never studied except for silkworm. In this study, Pupae of fruit fly were irradiated with different dosage N+ ions at energy 20 KeV to study the biological effect of ion beam on animal. The results showed a saddle like curve exists between incubate rate and dosage. Damage of pupae by ion beam implantation was observed using scanning electron microscope. Some individuals with incomplete wing were obtained after implantation but no similar character was observed in their offspring. Furthermore, about 5.47% mutants with wide variation appeared in M1 generation. Therefore, ion beam implantation could be widely used for mutation breeding.

山东野生果蝇体内Wolbachia的检测及WSP基因序列分析

Wolbachia是当前分布最广的共生菌类,参与调控寄主的多种生殖活动.通过对山东8个地理种群野生果蝇Wolbachia的WSP基因进行检测,在5个地理种群的黑腹果蝇和3个地理种群拟果蝇中分别分离到长度为632bp和611bp的Wolbachia的WSP基因片段,命名为WSPSD632和WSPSD611,在GeneBank所获注册号分别为EU395833和EU395834.将两序列和GeneBank上公布的WSP基因序列构建系统发育树,表明山东野生黑腹果蝇和拟果蝇所感染的Wolbachia分属于WMel和WRi类群.序列比对结果显示,两核苷酸序列的同源性为86.39%,但碱基替换率和缺失率存在一定差异.

芜菁块根汁对果蝇发生量的影响

以野生型果蝇、白眼果蝇为实验动物 ,研究不同浓度芜菁块根汁 (以下简称块根汁 )在不同温度、不同空间下对其发生量的影响。实验共分 3个处理浓度、2个培养温度 (设空白对照组 ) ,重复 3次。结果表明 ,在培养管内 ,3个浓度块根汁均使 2个品系的果蝇在 2 0℃和 2 5℃温度下的发生量增加。在广口瓶内 :2 0℃温度下 3个浓度块根汁均使野生型果蝇的发生量下降 ,而白眼果蝇发生量的影响则为低浓度块根汁使其下降而中、高两浓度却使其增加 ;2 5℃温度下低、中两浓度块根汁使野生型果蝇发生量增加而高浓度却使其下降 ,而白眼果蝇发生量的影响则为低浓度块根汁使其增加而中、高两浓度却使其下降。说明不同浓度的芜菁块根汁对不同品系果蝇在不同温度。
