Cloning of rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) histone H3 promoter and the activity analysis in rare minnow (Gobiocypris rarus)

Rainbow trout historic H3 (RH3) promoter was cloned via high fidelity PCR. The cloned RH3 promoter was inserted into a promoter-lacked vector pEGFP-1, resulting in an expression vector pRH3FGFP-1. The linearized pRH3EGFP-1 was microinjected into fertilized eggs of rare minnows and the sequential embryogenetic processes were monitored under a fluorescent microscope. Strong green fluorescence was ubiquitously observed at as early as the gastrula stage and then in various tissues at the fry stage. The results indicate that RH3 promoter, as a piscine promoter, could serve in producing transgenic Cyprinoid such as rare minnow. Promoter activity of RH3, CMV and common carp beta-actin (CA) were compared in rare minnow by the expression of respective recombinant EGFP vectors. The expression of pCMVEGFP occurred earlier than the following one, pRH3EGFP-1, and then pCAEGFP during the embryogenesis of the transgenics. Their expression activities demonstrated that the CMV promoter is the strongest one, followed by the CA and then the RH3.

The far-field spatial coherence of Gaussian Schell-model beam in turbulence in terms of position vectors

Spatial coherence properties of beam produced by Gaussian Schell-model source when the beam is propagating through atmosphere have been analyzed in terms of position vectors. New expressions for cross-spectral density of optical field and spectral degree of coherence as well as radiant intensity have been developed. Numerical results illustrated in this paper indicate the coherence degradation suffered from atmospheric turbulence and their directional dependence. (C) 2007 Elsevier GmbH. All rights reserved.

植物生产生物可降解塑料PHB的研究：真养产碱杆菌H16的phbB和phbC的基因克隆、植物表达载体构建和转基因马铃薯植株的获得

利用聚合酶链式反应(PCR)技术从Alcaligenes eutrophus H16染色体DNA中扩增并克隆了调控聚-3-羟基丁酸(poly-3-hydroxy-butyrate，PHB)生物合成的两个关键酶基因：依赖NADPH的乙酰乙酰CoA还原酶基因(phbB)和PHB合成酶基因(phbC)。限制性内切酶图谱和核苷酸序列分析证实了克隆结果，并表明克隆的基因与国外所报道的有很高的同源性。经过基因拼接，构建了块茎特异性表达的高等植物表达载体pPSAGB（嵌合phbB）、pBIBGC(嵌合phbC)和pPSAGCB（嵌合phbB和phbC）。并以试管薯(microtuber)为外植体经Agrobacterium介导转化了虎头、京丰、Bintje、Favorita、高原4号和88-5共6个马铃薯品种，获得49个株系。经PCR检测导入phbB的株系共有44个，对其中30个株系进行DNA dot blot分析，结果表明phbC导入呈阳性的株系有20个。深入的鉴定工作还在进行中。
