To date, clinical trials of this adenovirus have demonstrated marked safety but not potent enough when it was used alone. In this paper, we put forward a novel concept of Gene-ViroTherapy strategy and in this way, we constructed an armed therapeutic oncolytic adenovirus system, ZD55-gene, which is not only deleted of ElB 55-kD gene similar to ONYX-015, but also armed with foreign antitumor gene. ZD55-gene exhibited similar cytopathic effects and replication kinetics to that of ONYX-015 in vitro. Importantly, the carried gene is expressed and the expression level can increase with the replication of virus. Consequently, a significant antitumoral efficacy was observed when ZD55-CD/5-FU was used as an example in nude mice with subcutaneous human SW620 colon cancer. Our data demonstrated that ZD55-gene, which utilizing the Gene-ViroTherapy strategy, is more efficacious than each individual component in vivo.展开更多
The quantitative trait loci (QTLs) for cold tolerance relative characters were identified with microsatellite markers.Ten QTLs located on chromosome 1, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 9, 11(two)and 12 were detected for seedling height...The quantitative trait loci (QTLs) for cold tolerance relative characters were identified with microsatellite markers.Ten QTLs located on chromosome 1, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 9, 11(two)and 12 were detected for seedling height at different low temperature. Only 2 of these were detected at the same locus at four environments, 1 was significant at three environments, 6 were significant at two environments and 1 was significant at one environment. Seven QTLs located on chromosome 1(two), 2(two),5,6,8 were found for low temperature chlorosis resistance and five QTLs located on chromosome 3, 4, 7, 8, 11 resistant to chilling injury. The amount of variation explained by individual QTL ranged from 4.85%to 49.34%. There was no linkage relationship among the three characters, which indicates seedling cold tolerance is a complex character and is controlled by different QTLs.展开更多
