The expression of PTEN mRNA and protein in OV2008 cells and C13K cells were semi-quantitatively detected by using RT-PCR and Western blotting. Recombinant eukaryotic expression plasmid containing human wild-type PTEN gene was transfected into C13K cells by lipofectamine2000. The expression of PTEN mRNA was monitored by RT-PCR and the expression of PTEN, Akt, p-Akt protein were ana- lyzed by Western blotting in PTEN-transfected and non-transfected C13K cells. Proliferation and chemosensitivity of cells to DDP were measured by MTT, and cell apoptosis was detected by flow cytometry after treatment with cisplatin. The expression of PTEN mRNA and protein in OV2008 cells were significantly higher than those in C13K cells. After transfection with PTEN gene for 48 h, the expression of PTEN mRNA and protein in C 13K cells were 2.04 ± 0.10, 0.94± 0.04 respectively and the expression of p-Akt protein ( 0.94± 0.07) was lower than those in control groups (1.68 ±0.14, 1.66± 0.10) (P〈 0.05). The IC50 of DDP to C 13 K cells transfected with PTEN (7.2± 0.3 la mol/L) was obviously lower than those of empty-vector transfected cells and non-transfected cells (12.7±0.4 lamol/1, 13.0±0.3 lamol/L) (P〈0.05). The apopototis ratio of wild-type PTEN-transfected, empty vector transfected and non-transfected C13K cells were (41.65___0.87)%, (18.61 ±0.70)% and (15.28±0.80)% respectively, and the difference was statistically significant (P〈0.05). PTEN gene plays an important role in ovarian cancer multidrug resistance. Transfection of PTEN could increase the expression of PTEN and restore drug sensitivity to cisplatin in human ovarian cancer cell line C 13K with multidrug-resistance by decreasing the expression of p-Akt.展开更多

Cold tolerance is affected by multiple genetic factors in rice, and the complex genetic mechanisms associated with chilling stress tolerance remain unclear. Here, we detected seven quantitative trait loci(QTLs) for cold tolerance at booting stage and identified one cold tolerant line, SIL157, in an introgression line population derived from a cross between the indica variety Guichao 2, as the recipient, and Dongxiang common wild rice, as the donor. When compared with Guichao 2, SIL157 showed a stronger cold tolerance during different growth stages. Through an integrated strategy that combined QTL-mapping with expression profile analysis, six candidate genes, which were up-regulated under chilling stress at the seedling and booting developmental stages, were studied. The results may help in understanding cold tolerance mechanisms and in using beneficial alleles from wild rice to improve the cold tolerance of rice cultivars through molecular marker-assisted selection.展开更多

Wild emmer wheat(Triticum turgidum ssp. dicoccoides) is a promising source of disease resistance for wheat. A powdery mildew resistance gene conferring resistance to B. graminis f. sp. tritici isolate E09, originating from wild emmer wheat, has been transferred into the hexaploid wheat line WE4 through crossing and backcrossing. Genetic analyses indicated that the powdery mildew resistance was controlled by a single dominant gene, temporarily designated Ml WE4. By mean of comparative genomics and bulked segregant analysis, a genetic linkage map of Ml WE4 was constructed, and Ml WE4 was mapped on the distal region of chromosome arm 5BL. Comparative genetic linkage maps showed that genes Ml WE4, Pm36 and Ml3D232 were co-segregated with markers XBD37670 and XBD37680, indicating they are likely the same gene or alleles in the same locus. The co-segregated markers provide a starting point for chromosome landing and map-based cloning of Ml WE4, Pm36 and Ml3D232.展开更多

By polymerase chain reaction(PCR), disease resistance gene analogues have been amplified from three wild rice species in Yunnan Province, China. The DIN A fragments from amplification have been cloned into the pGEM-T vector respectively. Sequencing of the DNA fragments indicated that 7 classes, 2 classes and 6 classes NBS-LRR disease resistance gene analogues from Oryza rufipogon Griff. , Oryza officinalis Wall. , and Oryza meyeriana Baill. were obtained respectively. The two representative fragments of TO12 from Oryza officinalis Wall, and TR19 from Oryza rufipogon Griff, belong to the same class and homology of their sequences are 100%. The result shows that the sequences of the same class disease resistance gene analogues have no difference among different species of wild rice. 5 classes STK disease resistance gene analogues were also obtained among which 4 classes from Oryza rufipogon Griff. , 1 class from Oryza officinalis Wall. By comparison analysis of amino acid sequences. we found that the obtained disease resistance gene analogues have very low identity(low to 25%) with the reported disease resistance gene L6, N, Bs2, Prf, Pto, Lr10 and Xa21 etc. The finding suggests that the obtained disease resistance gene analogues are analogues of putative disease resistance genes that have not been isolated so far.展开更多

A set of introgression lines were previously generated via a backcrossing program using an elite indica cultivar rice Teqing (O. sativa L.) as recipient and an accession of Yuanjiang common wild rice (O. rufipogon Griff.) as donor. In this study, the previously developed introgression lines were evaluated for ABA sensitivity. Here we reported that a total of 14 quantitative trait loci (QTLs) associated with ABA sensitivity were identified. An ABA sensitive introgression line, YIL53, was identified and characterized. Physiological characterization, including chlorophyll content, malondialdehyde content, soluble sugar content, and stomata movement, demonstrated that YIL53 exhibited the characteristics associated with ABA sensitivity. Genotypic analysis revealed that YIL53 harbored one QTL related to ABA sensitivity, qASS1-2, which was located on chromosome 1 within one introgressed segment derived from the Yuanjiang common wild rice. Furthermore, the qASS1-2 was finally narrowed down to a 441-kb region between simple sequence repeats (SSR) marker RM212 and single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) marker M3 using the segregation population derived from the cross between Teqing and YIL53, and three candidate genes associated with ABA sensitivity were identified using a strategy combined gene expression analysis with QTL mapping. Identification of the QTLs related to ABA sensitivity and characterization of the ABA sensitive line YIL53 would provide a helpful basis for isolating novel genes related to ABA sensitivity.展开更多

Millspaugh] is an important food legume of the semi-arid tropics (SAT) sustaining livelihood of millions of people. Stagnant and unstable yield per hectare all over the world is the characteristic feature of this crop. This is primarily ascribed to its susceptibility/sensitivity to a number of biotic and abiotic factors. Among biotic factors, insects such as pod borer (Helicoverpa armigera), pod fly (Melanoagromyza obtusa) and spotted borer (Maruca vitrata) substantially damage the crop and result in significant economic losses. Management of these insects by genetic means has always been considered environment friendly approach. However, genetic improvement has always been impeded by limited genetic variability in the primary gene pool of pigeonpea. Wild species present in the secondary and tertiary gene pools have been reported to carry resistance for such insects. However, transfer of resistance through conventional backcrossing has not been much successful. It calls for gene introgression through marker assisted backcrossing (MABC) or advanced backcross breeding (AB breeding). In this review, we have attempted to assess the progress made through conventional and molecular breeding and suggested the ways to move further towards genetic enhancement for insects resistance in展开更多

RAPD and ISSR results show that the genetic distances between domestic stocks and their wild counterparts are significantly larger than those between the three wild stocks. The sequence of mtDNA cyt b shows that the three wild populations share the same sequence, with differences in the four bases from the cultured stock: two transitions [57( C-T), 291 (G-A) ] and two transversions [66(C-G) ,223(A-C) ]. Cluster analysis reveals that the domestic stock has diverged from its parental wild stock [ Min-Yuedong ( Fujian Province-eastern Guangdong Province, China) stock]. Results demonstrate that 20 a of domestication of the Pseudosciaena crocea stock has resulted in significant genetic changes.展开更多

The IC50 of DDP to C 13 K cells transfected with PTEN (7.2± 0.3 la mol/L) was obviously lower than those of empty-vector transfected cells and non-transfected cells (12.7±0.4 lamol/1, 13.0±0.3 lamol/L) (P〈0.05). The apopototis ratio of wild-type PTEN-transfected, empty vector transfected and non-transfected C13K cells were (41.65___0.87)%, (18.61 ±0.70)% and (15.28±0.80)% respectively, and the difference was statistically significant (P〈0.05). PTEN gene plays an important role in ovarian cancer multidrug resistance. Transfection of PTEN could increase the expression of PTEN and restore drug sensitivity to cisplatin in human ovarian cancer cell line C 13K with multidrug-resistance by decreasing the expression of p-Akt.
