The most suited methods for Kuala pear were screened; and biotin-labeled cDNA probe was synthesized using RT-PCR. The main factors that affected the sensitivity of hybridization were studied. Studies indicated that the highest sensitivity was obtained under the following conditions： probe concentration 400 ng mL^-1, formamide concentration 45%, temperature 42℃, hybridization time 6 hours. The best hybridization results were obtained when the nitrocellulose membrane purchased from Gelman was used. Better blocking of hybridization was obtained using Tween 20 compared with albumin in bovine. The detection of the total RNA using different tissues and different extraction methods was compared. This study indicates that the total RNA of fresh leaf, old leaf, cortexes, and frozen leaf showed signs of hybridization using the two extraction methods.展开更多

Urban areas,which are characterised by massive construction that reduce local vegetation coverage, are subject to the absorption of a large amount of solar radiation,which is only partially released into the atmosphere by radiation in the thermal infrared.展开更多
