[Method] Based on HSP70 sequence of Cyprinus carpio (AY120894), one pair of primers was designed and synthesized, while the total RNA of liver tissues in Cyprinus carpio was extracted. Some cDNA fragments of Cyprinus carpio HSP70 were cloned by RT-PCR, and its differential expression in various tissues such as heart, intestine, mucus, gonad, swim bladder, gill and fin in Cyprinus carpio was also studied. [Result] The cDNA sequence of 480 bp was obtained from Cypdnus carpio HSPTO gene by RT-PCR amplification. Homology comparison between the deduced amino acid sequence after sequencing and that of other types of fish showed that the homology among Cyprinus carpio, Danio rerio, Ohcorhynehus mylciss, Paralichthys olivaceus, Xiphophoorus maculates and Carassius auratus was 96%, 98%, 98%, 96%, 98% and 96% respectively. The expression of HSP70 was detected in eight tissues of Cypnnus carpio. The expression was the highest in heart, followed by swim bladder and fin, but there was no significant difference between them ( P 〉 0.05 ). There was no significant difference among the ex- pression in three tissues of intestine, mucus and fat ( P〉0.05), but their expression was significantly higher than those in gonad and gill ( P〈 0.05). [ Conclusion] HSPTO gene expression is a suitable criterion for monitoring the stress degree, stress capacity and healthy conditions in Cyprinus carpio breeding.展开更多

[Method] In this study, the content of cate- chin, myricetin, quercetin and kaempferol of barley grain planted in Kunming, Qujing and Baoshan were determined by HPLC, and the genotype, environment, genotype- environment interaction of the flavonoid content of barley grain were analyzed. [Result] According to the experimental results, the genotype variance, environmental variance and G x E interaction variance of catechin and kaempferol contents show the same trend: genotype variation 〉 environmental variation 〉 G × E interaction variation, which all reach a extremely significant level; the genotype variance, envi- ronmental variance and G × E interaction variance of quercetin and total flavonoid contents show the same trend: genetype variation 〉 G × E interaction variation 〉 environmental variation, which all reach a extremely significant level; the genotype variance and environmental variance of myricetin content both reach a extremely sig- nificant level, while the G × E interaction variance reaches a significant level, showing an order of genotype variation 〉 environmental variation 〉 G × E interaction variation; the genotype variance, environmental variance and G x E interaction vari- ance of total flavonoid content show an order of genotype variation 〉 environmental variation 〉 G × E interaction variation. Among different barley varieties, Ziguang- mangluoerling and Kuanyingdamai in Qujing, Kunming and Baoshan have relatively high content of quercetin, while other barley varieties barely contain any quercetin. The grains of Ziguangmangluoerling and Kuanyingdamai are purple, while the grains of other barley varieties are yellow. [Conclusion] Four main flavonoids and the total flavonoids of barley grain are mainly under genetic control and affected by genetic- environment interactions; the purple barley grains contain high content of quercetin.展开更多

Methods: Fragments of ApoE gene forthex-on containing codon 112 and 158 polymorphic locus were amplified by PCR, and then digested untilCfo I endonuclease. Genotypes and alleles frequencies of 168 healthy persons in Jiangsu area werecalculated. The effects of ApoE genotypes and alleles on serum lipids, lipoproteins andapolipoproteins variation were analyzed. Results: The effects of ApoE alleles on total cholesterol(TC), law density lipoprotein-cholesterol (LDL-C), ApoB was: along a decreasing gradientε_4>ε_3>ε_2. The effect of ε_4 allele was to increase serum levels of TC, LDL-C and ApoB, andthe ε_2 allele had an effect opposite to that of ε_4 allele. Conclusion: ApoE polymorphism is anindependent genetic factor on individual serum levels of lipids and apolipoproteins.展开更多

Complete or nearly complete mitochondrial genomes(mitogenomes) of 155 species from 47 families in Heteroptera have been sequenced. However, the amounts of mitogenomes between those families are unbalanced, which makes it difficult to correctly discern the patterns of mitogenome rearrangement in Heteroptera. Among 21 species from ten families, ten variations in mitogenome rearrangement had been previously reported, among which the translocation between tRNA-Thr and tRNA-Pro was considered as a synapomorphy of Pyrrhocoroidea based on two mitogenomes. As only one mitogenome in each of Largidae and Pyrrhocoridae had been sequenced to conclude the synapomorphy, more mitogenomes of Pyrrhocoroidea need to be explored. In this study, additional two mitogenomes of Pyrrhocoroidea(Macrocheraia grandis grandis(Gray, 1832) and Myrmoplasta mira Gerst-cker, 1892) were sequenced. Both of them also possess the same translocation between tRNA-Thr and tRNA-Pro, which reaffirms that this kind of rearrangement is a molecular synapomorphy of Pyrrhocoroidea. Moreover, we discovered a more complex rearrangement in Myrmoplasta mira, in which six nearly identical duplications of tRNA-Thr were found located downstream of tRNA-Pro. Considering the high biodiversity of Heteroptera, more mitogenomic studies are needed to improve our knowledge about mitogenome rearrangements and the potential synapomorphies.展开更多

The genetic variability among individuals of Artemisia capillaris from state of Terengganu, Malaysia was examined by using the random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) technique to assess the polymorphism at the species level, The samples from differences regional in Terengganu State. The genomic DNA was extracted from the samples leaves using Sarkosyl method. The results produced by the machine showed clear RAPD banding pattern. Fifty-seven oligonucleotide primers were screened and five primers were selected (OPA 04, OPA 09, OPA 16, OPA 17 and OPA 18) to amplify DNA from five samples of Artemisia capillaris from State of Terengganu, Malaysia. A total of 135 RAPD fragments (RAPDs) with all polymorphic fragments (100%) with size ranging from 250--3000 bp were scored from the population. Genetic distance for samples ranges from 0.0000 to 0.320000. For similarity index samples ranges from 0.0000 to 0.7547.展开更多
