Methods A SYD-2::GFP reporter was constructed and used as an active zone marker for forward genetic screen to identify genetic loci affecting the active zone formation. Results Eight isolated mutant alleles were characterized from 15,000 haploid genomes. The SYD-2::GFP phenotypes of these mutants are mainly reflected as the changes of number, morphology, distribution of puncta and the gaps appearance. Some mutants also exhibit visible behavioral or physical phenotypes, and aldicarb resistant or sensitive phenotypes. Conclusion These mutants provide the opportunity for further systematic research on the active zone formation and the neurotransmission.展开更多

By using the homemade device LTX-35 jigger as a model employing mesh division with non-orthogonal mesh for different kinds of through-flow passage, and completing the numerical simulation with the computational fluid dynamics (CDF) software-PHOENICS, the velocity distribution in different flow fields resulting from guide plates of varied structures are obtained. The results from the simulation show that 1 ) the degree of velocity uniformity of the flow field can be improved if a flat guide plate is replaced by a curved one in the jigger; 2) the best result can be achieved by using a semicircular guide plate.展开更多
