[Method] Based on ＂Multiple Allele Hypothesis of Genic Male Sterile Chinese Cabbage＂, an inbred line ＇06048＇ of oval ecotype was used as the receptor, and male fertile plant of ＇AB12＇ was used as the donor line. Crossing, backcross, selfing, testcross and sibling were ap- plied to transfer the multiple alleles under the directional genetic model. [Result] Segregation ratio of every generation was consistent with theoretical value. A new male sterile line with 100% male sterility and ＇06048＇ horticultural traits was ob- tained successfully, which accomplished the transfer of male sterile multiple allele and horticultural characters of receptor line at the same time. [Conclusion] The re- search verifies that the model of directional transfer is feasible, provides a theoreti- cal basis for the directional transfer of Chinese cabbage with other horticultural traits whose genotype is msms. The model can also be applied to other Brassica crops, to generate genetic male sterile lines with specific botanical traits and high-quality economic traits.展开更多

It comprises two parts: (1) ace I gene encoding copper-responsive transcription factor under the control of a constitutive or organ-specific promoter, and (2) a gene of interest under the control of a chimeric promoter consisting of the CaMV 35S (-90 to +8) promoter linked to the metal responsive element (MRE) carrying activating copper-metallothionein expression (ACE1)-binding sites. Here, the effectiveness of two different ACE1-binding cis -elements which derive from 5'-regulatory region of yeast metallothionein gene was investigated in transgenic tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum L. cv. W38). The results revealed that the MRE (-210 to -126) could increase the system inducibility by 50% - 100% compared with the previously reported MRE (-148 to -105). It is potential to use the copper-inducible system to control valuable gene traits in plant biotechnology.展开更多

Methods: The pcDNA3-HA-p73α plasmid was transferred into the cultured p53-null H1299 cells of human lung adenocarcinoma with the mediation of Dosper liposome; The cells resistant to G418 were selected. The expression of p73α gene in the cells was examined with Western blot. MTT assay was used to analyze the response of the transfected cells to cis-dichlorodiamine platinum (cDDP) and adriamycin (ADM). The rate of drug-induced apoptosis of the transfected cells was determined with flow cytometry and DNA fragmentation assay. The changes of the biological behaviors were observed with colony formation assay. Results: The transfected H1299 cells of human lung adenocarcinoma over-expressed p73α protein stably. MTT assay showed that the IC 50 values of cDDP and ADM were reduced by approximately 7 fold and 130 fold respectively in the transfected cells as compared with the untransfected ones. Lower concentration of the chemotherapeutic agents (1.25 μmol/L of cDDP and 0.05 μmol/L of ADM) could be employed to suppress markedly the growth of the transfected H1299 cells. The apoptotic rate induced by cDDP was increased from 10.1% to 38 4% (P<0.01) and that of ADM from 12.1% to 49.3% (P<0.01). The clonogenecity after the administration of chemotherapeutic agents was significantly lower in the transfected H1299 cells than in the parental cells (P<0.01). The sensitive enhancement ratios were 1.8 and 2.6 for cDDP and ADM respectively. Conclusion: The transfection of H1299 cells with wild type p73α gene results in an increase of the sensitivity of the cells to chemotherapeutic agents.展开更多

In plants, the R1R2R3-type MYB proteins function in cell cycle control. However, whether the R2R3-type MYB protein is also involved in the cell division process remains unknown. Here, we report that an R2R3-type transcription factor gene, AtMYB59, is involved in the regulation of cell cycle progression and root growth. The AtMYB59 protein is localized in the nuclei of onion epidermal cells and has transactivation activity. Expression of AtMYB59 in yeast cells suppresses cell proliferation, and the transfor- mants have more nuclei and higher anenpioid DNA content with longer cells. Mutation in the conserved domain of AtMYB59 abolishes its effects on yeast cell growth. In synchronized Arabidopsis cell suspensions, the AtMYB59 gene is specifically expressed in the S phase during cell cycle progression. Expression and promoter-GUS analysis reveals that the AtMYB59 gene is abundantly expressed in roots. Transgenic plants overexpressing AtMYB59 have shorter roots compared with wild-type plants （Arabidopsis accession Col-0）, and around half of the mitotic cells in root tips are at metaphase. Conversely, the null mutant myb59-1 has longer roots and fewer mitotic cells at metaphase than Col, suggesting that AtMYB59 may inhibit root growth by extending the metaphase of mitotic cells. AtMYB59 regulates many downstream genes, including the CYCB1;1 gene, probably through binding to MYB-responsive elements. These results support a role forAtMYB59 in cell cycle regulation and plant root growth.展开更多

MACC/C95）was established. Using electroporation, the alga was transformed with a plasmid containing the phytase gene under the control of CaMV35S promoter and the neomycin phosphotransferase （ npt ） as a selectable marker gene. The integration of the phytase gene into the Chlorella genome was revealed by PCR and Southern blotting analysis. RT-PCR analysis revealed the expression of phytase gene at the transcript level. The enhanced activity of phytase enzyme in the transformants confirmed the integration and successful expression of phytase gene. The introduced phytase gene and its protein expression were stably maintained for at least 30 generations in media devoid of selectable antibiotics G418. This is an important step toward the production of useful foreign proteins in Chlorella sp. MACC/C95.展开更多
