Identification of quantitative trait loci for the dead leaf rate and the seedling dead rate under alkaline stress in rice

The quantitative trait loci (QTLs) for the dead leaf rate (DLR) and the dead seedling rate (DSR) at the different rice growing periods after transplanting under alkaline stress were identified using an F2:3 population, which included 200 individuals and lines derived from a cross between two japonica rice cultivars Gaochan 106 and Changbai 9 with microsatellite markers. The DLR detected at 20 days to 62 days after transplanting under alkaline stress showed continuous normal or near normal distributions in F3 lines, which was the quantita- tive trait controlled by multiple genes. The DSR showed a continuous distribution with 3 or 4 peaks and was the quantitative trait con- trolled by main and multiple genes when rice was grown for 62 days after transplanting under alkaline stress. Thirteen QTLs associated with DLR were detected at 20 days to 62 days after transplanting under alkaline stress. Among these, qDLR9-2 located in RM5786?RM160 on chromosome 9 was detected at 34 days, 41 days, 48 days, 55 days, and 62 days, respectively; qDLR4 located in RM3524?RM3866 on chromosome 4 was detected at 34 days, 41 days, and 48 days, respectively; qDLR7-1 located in RM3859?RM320 on chromosome 7 was detected at 20 days and 27 days; and qDLR6-2 in RM1340-RM5957 on chromosome 6 was detected at 55 days and 62 days, respectively. The alleles of both qDLR9-2 and qDLR4 were derived from alkaline sensitive parent "Gaochan106". The alleles of both qDLR7-1 and qDLR6-2 were from alkaline tolerant parent Changbai 9. These gene actions showed dominance and over dominance primarily. Six QTLs associated with DSR were detected at 62 days after transplanting under alkaline stress. Among these, qDSR6-2 and qDSR8 were located in RM1340?RM5957 on chromosome 6 and in RM3752?RM404 on chromosome 8, respectively, which were asso- ciated with DSR and accounted for 20.32% and 18.86% of the observed phenotypic variation, respectively; qDSR11-2 and qDSR11-3 were located in RM536?RM479 and RM2596?RM286 on chromosome 11, respectively, which were associated with DSR explaining 25.85% and 15.41% of the observed phenotypic variation, respectively. The marker flanking distances of these QTLs were quite far ex- cept that of qDSR6-2, which should be researched further.

A Microspore-derived Rice Transformation System and Dissection of the Complex RCg2 Promoter

Meaningful evaluation of promoter activity following dissection of various promoter elements requires the production of many transgenic rice plants. For such purposes, we have developed highly effective Agrobacterium-

CIPK9: a calcium sensor-interacting protein kinase required for low-potassium tolerance in Arabidopsis

钾是为在植物的很多个细胞的过程的主要宏营养素必需品之一。在土壤的低钾水平为庄稼生产代表一个限制因子。最近的研究识别了涉及钾获得的钾运输 ers，并且他们中的一些为在低钾条件下面的钾营养是批评的。然而，很少在涉及低钾发信号和回答的分子的部件上被理解。我们这里在 Arabidopsis 作为低钾反应的一个批评管理者报导 calcineurin 象 B 一样交往蛋白质的 proteinkinase (CIPK9 ) 的鉴定。CIPK9 基因对不能生活的压力条件应答，并且它的抄本由钾剥夺在根和射击是可诱导的。CIPK9 功能的混乱使变异的植物变为过分敏感到低钾媒介。进一步的分析显示那 K (+) 举起和内容没在变异的植物被影响，暗示在钾利用的规定的 CIPK9 或察觉到过程。

钙在植物在许多发信号的小径作为第二个送信人起一个重要作用。calcineurin 象 B 一样蛋白质(CBL ) 代表在钙由与他们的交往的蛋白质 kinases (CIPK ) 交往发信号工作的植物钙绑定蛋白质的一个家庭。在我们的以前的学习，我们在骆驼毛的织物发信号为 CBL (CBL9 ) 之一和 CIPK (CIPK3 ) 之一报导了一个角色。这里，我们证明了 CBL9 和 CIPK3 身体上并且机能上地在调整骆驼毛的织物回答与对方一起交往。CBL9 和 CIPK3 蛋白质在酵母与对方一起交往了二混血儿的系统并且当在植物房间表示了时。双变异的 cbl9cipk3 显示出类似的过分敏感的反应到在单个异种(cbl9 或 cipk3 ) 观察了的骆驼毛的织物。CIPK3 的组成地活跃的形式遗传上补充了 cbl9 异种，显示 CIPK3 CBL9 下游地工作。把调查结果基于这些，我们为调整骆驼毛的织物回答在一样的小径一起结束那 CBL9 和 CIPK3 幕。
