[Method] The plant height, fresh weight and dry weight of 80 peanut varieties or lines were determined under the drought stress simulated using 15% PEG6000 in laboratory. Relative values of the three indices were calculated to measure the drought tolerance of the 80 peanut varieties or lines. [Result] The growth of peanut seedlings was significantly inhibited after 10 d of drought treatment. Cluster analysis revealed that at Euclidean distance D=15, the80 peanut varieties or lines were divided into four categories A, B, C and D. Among them, category B had better drought tolerance while category C was sensitive to drought. In all the four categories, the approved peanut varieties or lines showed better drought tolerance than the unapproved ones. [Conclusion] The drought tolerant and the drought sensitive peanut varieties or lines screened in this study can be used for further basic research and germplasm improvement.展开更多

Totally 42 strains displayed hygromycin resistance. Six strains were found to be positive mutants when screened on plate containing 90μg/mL hygromycin. One hereditarily stable strain UN05-6 was obtained, which raised the taxol yield from (376.38 ± 8.41)μg/L to (493.12 ±11.36) μg/L. The optimal conditions for the preparation, regeneration and mutagenesis of the taxol producing fungus UV40-19 were as follows: 1 )enzymolysis in a solution containing 3% lywallzyme, 4% snailase, 1% lysozyme and 3% cellulose at 30~C water bath, pH5.5 - 6.0 for 5h; 2) The prepared protoplasts were regenerated by using bilayer plate culturing method; 3)To mutagenize the fungus UV40-19, the protoplast suspension was treated with 0.8mg/mL NTG for 15min, followed by UV irradiation (30W, 30cm distance)for 40s under magnetic stirring. The purified products of the fungus UN05-6 fermented extracts have significant inhibitive effects on SMMC-7721 cell.展开更多

Myroides sp. infections have been reported mainly in China. Myroides sp. is highly resistant to most available antibiotics, but the resistance mechanisms are not fully elucidated. Current strain identification methods based on biochemical traits are unable to identify strains accurately at the species level. While 16S ribosomal RNA (rRNA) gene sequencing can accurately achieve this, it fails to give information on the status and mechanisms of antibiotic resistance, because the 16S rRNA sequence contains no information on resistance genes, resistance islands or enzymes. We hypothesized that ob- taining the whole genome sequence of Myroides sp., using next generation sequencing methods, would help to clarify the mechanisms of pathogenesis and antibiotic resistance, and guide antibiotic selection to treat Myroides sp. infec- tions. As Myroides sp. can survive in hospitals and the environment, there is a risk of nosocomial infections and pandemics. For better management of Myroides sp. infections, it is imperative to apply next generation sequencing technologies to clarify the antibiotic resistance mechanisms in these bacteria.展开更多
