Cloning and Analysis of NBS-LRR Type Resistance Gene Analogues in Sweet Potato (Ipomoea batatas)

The degenerate primers were designed based on the conserved NBS-LRR motifs among the known disease-resistance genes. A fragment of about 500 bp was amplified from genomic DNA of sweet potato using the specifically designed degenerate primers. After cloning and sequencing, 20 NBS-LRR type of disease-resistance gene analogue （RGAs） in sweet potato were observed. The deduced amino acid sequence of DNA fragment contains the conserved motifs of NBS-LRR type RGAs, such as P-loop, Kinase-2α, Kinase-3α and GLPL domain. The 20 RGAs could be sorted into two subclasses, namely TIR- NBS-LRR type and non-TIR-NBS-LRR type. Compared with the known resistance genes including N, L6 and M, the percentages of homologous amino acid sequence in 10 TIR-NBS-LRR range between 21% -44%. While other 10 non-TIR-NBS-LRR assume 15% -46% homology with the known resistance genes （Prf, RPM1, RPS2, etc. ）. Consequently the RGAs may further be used as molecular marker for screening the candidate disease-resistance genes in sweet potato.

Genetic Analysis of a Biomass Mutant in Oryza sativa

[ Objective ] The study aimed to reveal the genetic model of a biomass mutant in Oryza sativa. [ Method ] In the process of screening and identification of Bar-transgenic rice, a biomass mutant was found in 10 lines of T1 progenies.

[ Conclusion] Our study may avail to understand the cloning of mutant gene and the mechanism of the mutant gene on biomass.

Molecular Characterization of a Chinese Soybean Mosaic Virus Isolate by RT_PCR, cDNA Sequence Analysis and Direct Expression of PCR Products in Bacteria

Soybean mosaic virus (SMV) causes one of the most severe viral diseases in soybean ( Glycine max L.) and is known to contain many pathogenically and serologically related isolates. In the present study, the authors have obtained cDNAs to all cistrons of a Chinese SMV isolate, SMV_ZK, by RT_PCR. By analysing the nucleotide and amino acid sequence of the HC_PRO, NIb and CP cistrons, it was found that SMV_ZK was highly homologous to the G2 strain of SMV, thus confirming the existence of G2_like isolates in soybean crop in China. The amplified cDNAs were directly cloned into a bacterial expression vector. With the exception of the P3 cistron, expression of the cDNAs of all other cistrons in bacteria gave rise to polypeptides of expected molecular weight. The expressed viral proteins were subsequently purified by gel elution. The preparation of viral_specific cDNAs and gene products will be useful in future functional study of the SMV genome.
