Some biological properties were compared between nit mutants and their parental isolates. The results showed that there were no significant differences in growth rate, cultural characters or pathogenicity between JS399-19-resistant nit mutants and their parental isolates. But the conidial production and the sexual reproduction ability changed to some extent. There was no cross resistance toward chlorate and JS399-19 in F. graminearum and the resistance could be stable through 20-time subcultures. Therefore, the nit could be used as a genetic marker for studying the genetics of JS399-19 resistance in E graminearum, which was used to study JS399-19 resistance transferability in hyphal fusion. Resistance in JS399-19 could not be transferred by hyphal fusion or could be transferred with low chance between two compatible isolates, which would delay the development of JS399-19 resistance in the field.展开更多

In this study, regeneration and transformation conditions, including explant selection and surface sterilization, use of different Agrobacterium strains, and co-culture processing, are optimized. The use of 20.0% sodium hypochloride (25 rain) for sterilization was less detrimental to the health of explant than 0.1% mercuric chloride (10 min). Regeneration frequency from stems was much higher than that from leaves or sheaths. Explants were infected by Agrobacterium (30 rain) in liquid co-cultural medium, and this was followed by three days co-culture on sterile filter papers with light for 10 h per day at 24℃. Histochemical data demonstrated that the transient expression of GUS gene in the stem explants of aloe infected with Agrobacterium strains EHAI05 and C58CI was 80.0% and 30.0%, respectively, suggesting the higher sensitivity of the explants to EHAI05 than to C58C1. Infected tissues were selected using G418 (10.0-25.0 mg/L) to generate transformants. Sixty-seven G418 resistant plantlets were generated from the infected explants. Southern blotting, PCR, and ELISA analyses indicated that the alien gene were successfully transferred into aloe and was expressed in the transgenic plants. This newly established transformation system could be used for the genetic improvement of aloe.展开更多

Method With callus of Kasalath as transformation receptor, Agrobacterium tumefaciens-mediated method was used to conduct genetic transformation. The genetic transformation system was optimized from several aspects, including co-culture mode, co-culture time and the affertreatment method of co-culture. Result The results showed that two days is the best co-culture time for genetic transformation, the acquisition rate of resistant callus was up to 84.1%, and transformation rate was up to 73%. Whether callus contact to the culture medium directly or indirectly has no significant effect on transformation. [ Conclusion] Genetic transformation successfully transferred exogenous gene OsMAPk2 into the rice genome.展开更多

[Method]With shoot tip of natural green cotton as receptor and by using Agrobacterium-mediated transformation method,the optimum conditions of regeneration system were obtained. [Result]Combining with vacuum infiltration,3-old-day shoot tips were infected for 10 minutes in Abarobacterium suspension with OD600 value about 0.5 followed by co-culture for 24 h on the medium containing MS+l mg/L KT,pH value of 5.8. The regeneration culture was conducted in MS medium containing l mg/L KT and increasingly 30,50 and 70 mg/L Kan. The highest transformation frequency was 34.6%,and the positive resistant plantlets of green cotton 9804 were obtained. [Conclusion]Green cotton is more beneficial than white cotton to conduct genetic transformation.展开更多

Their genetic diversity was analyzed by using REP-PCR (repetitive extragenic palindromic sequence PCR), and pathogenicity was determined with artificial inoculation method. The results showed that U. virens in rice-growing regions of Anhui Province had a rich genetic diversity. At the similarity level of 0.76, the 92 U. virens strains could be classified into 7 groups. Significant differences were found in pathogenicity among the 24 U. virens strains belonging to different groups, which showed no association with territorial source of U. virens strain or cluster method adopted by this study. Strain pathogenicity and rice varieties showed significant specificity.展开更多

DNA fingerprints were divided into 112 haplotypes and 14 lineages at 73% genetic similarity level. Among the lineages, no dominant lineages were found. The population genetic structures of Magnaporthe oryzae were not distinctly different in different years. The analysis also showed that there wasn't obvious simple relationship between patho- types and fingerprint groups.展开更多

In this study, twenty seawater samples were assayed for fecal coliforms and human pathogenic enteric viruses (hepatitis A viruses, rotaviruses, polioviruses) analysis. Enteric viruses were detected by RT-PCR, in 20 sample sites, 5%, 40%, 40% were positive for the presence of human hepatitis A viruses, rotaviruses, polioviruses, respectively. Seven of 20 sites are suffering from severe fecal contamination, based on traditional plate counts of fecal coliform outnumbering the established thresholds for recreation. Additionally, statistical analysis presented that no correlation was found between bacterial indicators and viruses in surface seawaters. The data confirmed that indicator bacteria in water are not reflective of the presence of enteric viruses in marine waters. Thus, current recreational water quality standards of both bacterial and viral indices should be reevaluated.展开更多
