    查看更多>>摘要:A transcript-derived fragment (TDF) showing up-regulated expression under low Pi stress and being identical to an uncharacterized phosphate transporter gene TaPT2-1 was cloned in wheat.TaPT2-1 was 2075 bp in length and encoded a 568-aa polypeptide.Transmembrane prediction analysis suggested that TaPT2-1 had 13 conserved transmembrane domains.TaPT2-1 shared much higher similarities to other four homologs from Arabidopsis thaliana,Solanum tuberosum,Capsicum frutescens,and Solanum melongena.The expression of TaPT2-1 was root specific and low Pi inducible,suggesting that it plays roles in roots and is involved in the Pi acquisition under Pi-starved condition.The promoter region of TaPT2-1 was cloned based on genome walk analysis.Several types of cis-regulatory elements,such as low Pi responding and tissue specific,were identified in TaPT2-1 promoter.The transgenic tobacco plants with the integrated TaPT2-1 promoter GUS were generated,and GUS histochemical staining analysis in the roots and leaves of the transgenic plants was performed.The results of GUS staining in roots and leaves under various Pi supply conditions were in accordance with the TaPT2-1 transcripts detected based on RT-PCR analysis.Taken together,the distinct expression of low Pi-induced and root-specific TaPT2-1 suggested that it could be used as the potential gene resource on generation of elite crop germplasms with high Pi use efficiency in the future.

    查看更多>>摘要:Seed priming technique has been known to improve germination and seedling emergence under different environment stresses.The objective of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of seed priming in improving the seed germination and seedling vigor of Agropyron elongatum and Bromus inermis in response to five concentrations of the allelopathic extract of Thymus kotschyanus (0,5%,25%,50% and 75%) under laboratory conditions.Pretreatments included gibberellic acid (250,500 and 1000 ppm),potassium nitrate (0.1%,0.2% and 0.3%) and salicylic acid (100,200and 300 mg/L).This experiment was carried out as a factorial experiment based on a completely randomized design with four replications.The results showed that seed germination,germination speed and seedling vigor were significantly decreased (P< 0.01) by increasing extract concentrations of Thymus kotschyanus alielopathic compounds in unprimed seed (control) compared with primed seeds.Seed priming enhanced germination percentage,germination speed and initial growth.Overall,the results of this study showed that the response of both species to pretreatment of seeds was positive.Therefore,pretreatments of seeds with the aforementioned chemical stimulators before planting can significantly reduce the negative effect of allelopathic compounds in Thymus kotschyanus during the germination stage and contribute to plant establishment by increasing germination speed and growth of embryos.

    查看更多>>摘要:Identification of genes related to flowering-time in Arabidopsis is very important and meaningful contribution to the flowering process control.One late flowering mutant plant,which exhibits 60-day delay in flowering,was screened from Arabidopsis library of T-DNA insertion.Southern blotting was used to confirm the single copy of exogenetic T-DNA in the genome of the mutant.The flanking sequence of T-DNA insert was obtained by TAILPCR and then analyzed by BLAST to confirm that the insertion site locates at the sixth exon of AT2G19520.1 (FVE gene).FVE is considered as a classical flowering time gene in Arabidopsis.It is a component of the autonomous pathway that encodes AtMSI4,which is a putative retinoblastoma-associated protein.The late-flowering mutant is named as fve-4,which is similar to fve-3 of Columbia and allelic withfve-1 andfve-2 ofLandsberg erecta.Thefve-4 mutant's delay of flowering was longer than that offve-3 mutant,whose T-DNA insertion is located at the first exon of FVE gene,suggesting that the sixth exon of FVE gene may play a more important role in the control of floral transition.
