Ninety-six doubled-haploid （DH） rice lines of an indica and japonica cross were grown in both flooding and upland conditions and QTLs for morphological traits at seedling stage were examined using 208 restriction fragment length polymorphism （RFLP） and 76 microsatellite （SSR） markers. A total of 32 putative QTLs were associated with the four seedling traits： average of three adventitious root lengths （ARL）, shoot height （SH）, shoot biomass （SW）, and root to shoot dry weight ratio （RSR）. Five QTLs detected were the same under control and upland conditions. The ratio between the mean value of the seedling trait under upland and flooding conditions was used for assessing drought tolerance. A total of six QTLs for drought tolerance were detected. Comparative analysis was performed for the QTLs detected in this case and those reported from two other populations with the same upland rice variety Azucena as parent. Several identical QTLs for seedling elongation across the three populations with the positive alleles from the upland rice Azucena were detected, which suggests that the alleles of Azucena might be involved in water stress-accelerated elongation of rice under different genetic backgrounds. Five cell wall-related candidate genes for OsEXPI, OsEXP2, OsEXP4, EXT, and EGase were mapped on the intervals carrying the QTLs for seedling traits.展开更多

To determine the optimum conditions for Betula 'Royal Frost' seedling cultivation, we assessed seedling growth and anthocyanin content under natural conditions. The temperature had a significant influence on height but not on radial growth. Between June and September, the anthocyanin content was significantly positively correlated with light intensity and air moisture and significantly negatively correlated with temperature. In single-factor experiments to determine the variation in anthocyanin content in the greenhouse, anthocyanin content increased with increasing soil water content and at first increased, then decreased with increasing pH of the irrigation water and temperature, but decreased with increasing light intensity. K2SO4 can increase the anthocyanin content. So to maintain leaf color, seedlings should be cultivated with < 200 mu mol m(-2) s(-1) light intensity at 20 A degrees C and soil moisture content between 60 and 90%, and the irrigation water should be neutral or alkaline. Additionally, spraying with K2SO4 can be beneficial.展开更多

Here, we fabricate a bifunctional Au-Pd nanocoronal film for in situ SERS monitoring Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling reaction. This excellent bifunctional substrate leads to the coupling of high catalytic activity with a strong SERS effect at the center of two adjacent Au cores and shows fine reproducibility and stability of SERS signals. During investigating the Suzuki reaction with in situ SERS, we found two distinct catalytic kinetic processes resulted from two disparate catalytic sites on a Au-Pd nanocoronal. Comparing with conventional analytical techniques, this work provides a novel approach for studying Suzuki reactions at surfaces and/or interfaces with in situ SERS.展开更多

The shoots could be induced on Murashige and Skoog （MS） medium with proper plant growth regulator combinations of 6-benzylaminopurine （BA） and indole-3-butyric acid （IBA）. The better medium for shoot multiplication and growth was MS ＋ 5 mg L-1 BA ＋ 0.5 mg L-1 IBA ＋ 20 g L-1 sucrose ＋ 7 g L-1 agar, and the corresponding shoot induction rate was 75 %. The plantlets grew well after rooting on I/2MS medium （macro-elements of MS medium are at half-strength） sup- plemented with 1 mg L-1 IBA, and the survival percentage was 〉80 % at 16 weeks after transplanting.展开更多

文摘The variation of seedling characteristics under different water supply conditions is strongly associated with drought resistance in rice （Oryza sativa L.） and a better elucidation of its genetics is helpful for improving rice drought resistance. Ninety-six doubled-haploid （DH） rice lines of an indica and japonica cross were grown in both flooding and upland conditions and QTLs for morphological traits at seedling stage were examined using 208 restriction fragment length polymorphism （RFLP） and 76 microsatellite （SSR） markers. A total of 32 putative QTLs were associated with the four seedling traits： average of three adventitious root lengths （ARL）, shoot height （SH）, shoot biomass （SW）, and root to shoot dry weight ratio （RSR）. Five QTLs detected were the same under control and upland conditions. The ratio between the mean value of the seedling trait under upland and flooding conditions was used for assessing drought tolerance. A total of six QTLs for drought tolerance were detected. Comparative analysis was performed for the QTLs detected in this case and those reported from two other populations with the same upland rice variety Azucena as parent. Several identical QTLs for seedling elongation across the three populations with the positive alleles from the upland rice Azucena were detected, which suggests that the alleles of Azucena might be involved in water stress-accelerated elongation of rice under different genetic backgrounds. Five cell wall-related candidate genes for OsEXPI, OsEXP2, OsEXP4, EXT, and EGase were mapped on the intervals carrying the QTLs for seedling traits.

文摘Objective:To investigate the mechanism by which moxibustion regulates the expression of inflammatory cytokines in ulcerative colitis(UC)rats through the P2X7 receptor(P2X7R)/nuclear factor-kappa B(NF-κB)pathway.Methods:UC was induced using dextran sulfate sodium(DSS)in both wild-type(WT)and P2X7R knockout(KO)mice.General health conditions,pathological changes,and periodic acid-Schiff(PAS)staining of the colonic tissues were analyzed.Immunohistochemistry was used to detect NF-κB p65 protein expression in colonic tissues.Male Sprague-Dawley(SD)rats were randomly assigned to four groups:normal,model,normal+herb-partitioned moxibustion,and model+herb-partitioned moxibustion.UC was induced in rats by cyclic DSS administration.Rats in the herb-partitioned moxibustion group received moxibustion at the bilateral Tianshu(ST25)and Qihai(RN6)acupoints.The effects of herb-partitioned moxibustion were evaluated regarding general health conditions and histopathological alterations in colon tissue.The protein expression of P2X7R and NF-κB p65 in colonic tissues was determined by immunohistochemistry,whereas interleukin(IL)-10 mRNA levels were quantified using real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction(RT-qPCR).Furthermore,enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay(ELISA)was used to measure serum concentrations of tumor necrosis factor-alpha(TNF-α)and IL-6.Results:Colonic epithelial damage and inflammatory cell infiltration were significantly reduced in P2X7R KO mice compared to WT mice,along with reduced expression of NF-κB p65 protein in colonic tissues(P<0.05).Moxibustion improves histopathological damage,goblet cell number,and intestinal mucus secretion in rats with UC.Compared to the normal group,the model group exhibited increased histopathological scores,serum TNF-α,and IL-6 levels,as well as elevated P2X7R and NF-κB p65 protein expression in colonic tissues(P<0.05).In comparison to the model group,the model+herb-partitioned moxibustion group demonstrated significantly lower histopathological scores,reduced serum TNF-αand IL-6 levels,and decreased P2X7R and NF-κB p65 protein expression(P<0.05).Conclusions:Moxibustion at“Tianshu”and“Qihai”acupoints may inhibit the levels of IL-6 and TNF-αinflammatory factors and reduce inflammation in the UC colonic mucosa by regulating the P2X7R/NF-κB p65 pathway in UC colonic tissues.
