In the present study, an intersimple sequence repeat （ISSR）-PCR technique was applied for developing SSR markers in non-heading Chinese cabbage （Brassica rapa）. A total of 190 SSRs were obtained. Among these, AG or CT （54.7%） was the most frequent repeat, followed by AC or GT （31.6%） of the microsatellites. The average number of the SSRs length array was 16 and 10 times, respectively. Based on the determined SSR sequences, 143 SSR primer pairs were designed to evaluate their transferabilities among the related species of Brassica. The number of alleles produced per marker averaged 2.91, and the polymorphism information content （PIC） value ranged from 0 to 0.863 with an average of 0.540. Monomorphism was observed in 16 primer pairs. The transferability percentage in CC genome was higher than in BB genome. More loci occurred in the BBCC genome. This result supported the hypothesis that BB genome was divergent from A and C genomes, and AA and CC genomes were relatively close. The polymorphic primers can be exploited for further evolution, fingerprinting, and variety identification.展开更多

In order to examine the stability of gene expression mediated by this gene transduction protocol, we observed the expression of marker gene in vivo by using bone marrow transplantation (BMT) to engraft lethally irradiated mouse with the genetically modified hematopoietic cells. The results showed that the mouse transplanted with appropriated number of transduced cells remained alive andhealthy. The PCR analysis and G418 selection of the spleen colonies and bone marrow cells isolated from lethally irradiated animals 15 days and 30 days after injection of genetically modified bone marrow cells showed that the progeny cells of the transduced hematopoietic stem cells still contained and expressed the transduced genes, suggesting that the hematopoietic system is at least partially re-constructed by the stem cells with marker gene and that the stable expression of foreign genes in vivo can be attained by using this easy and harmless transduction protocol. These findings provide experimental basis for clinician to further investigate the biology of marrow reconstruction and the mechanism of leukemia relapse after BMT.展开更多

Rice genotype had an important effect on callus induction and transformation efficiency. Different mixtures of Agrobacterium strains （EHA105 and EHA101） contained Hpt and CrylAb genes resulted in different frequencies of resistant calli. There was no correlation between the frequency of transformants with the ratio of the Agrobacterium strain mixture contained Hpt and CrylAb genes. A total of 509 transgenic plants were obtained from the four rice varieties, and 272 T2 progenies were analyzed for CrylAb and Hpt genes. PCR analysis revealed that 412 regenerated plants were Hpt positive （80.94%）, 62 plants were also CrylAb co-transformants （15.05% in total frequency）, and 42 plants among the 272 T2 progenies were CrylAb positive but Hpt negative. This suggests that marker-free transgenic plants could be produced by co-transformation mediated by mixed Agrobacterium strains with the selectable marker gene and target gene Southern blot analysis of five independent marker-free T2 transgenic lines co-transformed from Zhejing 22 showed that CrylAb gene had been inserted into rice genome with a single copy. The transgenic plants showed significantly stronger resistance to lepidopteron than the non-transgenic plants under no application of insecticides against lepidopteron.展开更多
