水稻幼苗脱黄化过程以及灌浆期茎的蛋白质组学研究

水稻既是我国三大粮食作物之一，又是基因组学研究的模式材料，在生产实践和科学研究中都占有极其重要的地位。基因组学研究取得的巨大成就以前所未有的深度和广度推动了生命科学各个研究领域的飞速发展。水稻基因组的破译是水稻科学研究的重要里程碑，同时也宣告了功能基因组学时代的到来。蛋白质组学是研究细胞内全部蛋白质的动态表达及其相互关系的新兴学科，是功能基因组学研究的重要组成部分和战略制高点。 本论文采用高分辨率的蛋白质双向电泳分离技术和高通量的蛋白质质谱分析技术以及生物信息学等手段，开展水稻灌浆期茎蛋白质组表达模式和水稻幼苗脱黄化过程的比较蛋白质组学研究，探讨茎生长发育规律和水稻应答光信号相关蛋白质及其网络调控机制，是学科前沿与实际应用的有机结合，在科研和生产实践中都具有重要的意义。 首先，分别构建了灌浆期水稻顶端茎段和水稻黄化幼苗的蛋白质组表达谱。并对其中185个目的蛋白点进行了MALDI-TOF/MS分析和数据库检索鉴定。共有149个蛋白质得到了鉴定，蛋白质鉴定的成功率为80.5％。这些被鉴定的蛋白质分属118个基因的表达产物，根据它们功能可以分为13种不同的类别，其中绝大多数为能量产生和代谢以及抗性相关的蛋白质。 在水稻灌浆期顶端茎段表达的蛋白质中，与能量和物质代谢相关的蛋白质例如ATPase、磷酸丙糖异构酶，6－磷酸葡萄糖异构酶等占有很高比例，说明茎段组织中具有很强的代谢活动。与生长发育相关的蛋白质包括beta-tubulins、无机焦磷酸酶（inorganic pyrophosphatase）、液泡质子ATP酶（vacuolar proton-ATPase）以及UDP葡萄糖焦磷酸酶等的大量累积，显示出顶端茎段细胞分裂和生长迅速;同时，贮存多糖和结构多糖也在旺盛合成。G蛋白、GDP释放抑制因子等信号传导蛋白以及苯丙氨酸氨解酶、谷胱苷肽S转移酶（glutathione S-transferase，GST）、抗坏血酸过氧化酶（ascorbate peroxidase，APX）以及超氧化物歧化酶（superoxide dismutase，SOD）等抗性相关蛋白质在该时期丰度表达，表明在灌浆期水稻顶端茎段能够迅速感受并传递外界信号，从而使得其在遭受胁迫时能够立刻启动抗逆防御系统，最大限度地降低不利环境对种子发育的影响。 在黑暗中萌发和生长的水稻黄化幼苗随着光照时间（0~24小时）的延长，能通过双向电泳后检测到的蛋白质逐渐变少，24小时后趋于稳定，相当于正常光照条件下生长的水稻幼苗蛋白质组表达谱。进一步分析表明，在黄化苗中，分解代谢及能量产生相关的蛋白如丙糖磷酸异构酶、琥珀酰辅酶A连接酶、异戊酰辅酶A脱氢酶与ATPase等的表达量比较丰富;另外，还可能启动了脂肪酸的α氧化分解途径，以供黑暗中生长所需的物质和能量。当黄化幼苗光照后，与光合作用及物质合成相关的一些蛋白质表达量增加，而那些分解代谢相关酶类则有所下降。同时，鸟核苷酸结合蛋白β亚基类似蛋白、20S proteasome以及Bowman Birk trypsin inhibitor等信号传递及抗性相关蛋白随着光照时间的延长而减少，说明黑暗胁迫条件下水稻幼苗启动了相关的抗逆途径。叶绿素合成途径中的蛋白酶胆色素原脱氨基酶和金属鳌合酶在脱黄化过程中表达量有所下降，可能是因为叶绿素合成产物具有反馈抑制作用。 本研究首次利用蛋白质组学方法来解析水稻灌浆期茎蛋白质组表达模式和水稻黄化幼苗响应光因子的蛋白质组变化情况，鉴定了一些有价值的蛋白质，并得到了它们的表达特点和相关数据，为更好地理解水稻顶端茎秆的生长特点和功效、水稻应答黑暗胁迫和光形态建成以及光合作用机理等提供了分子证据。

利用02428h中隐性高杆基因消除不育系包颈现象的可行性研究

梗稻广亲和种质02428h中倒一节间伸长的性状由一对隐性基因(h基因)所控制，本实验证明了将h基因导入保持系与雄性不育系中均能得到遗传表达，促进倒一节的伸长。h基因与可育胞质及野败不育胞质作用后分别使穗伸出度达15cm,1.2cm，而相应珍汕97B及珍汕97A穗伸出度仅分别为1.7cm，-9.8cm。即h基因使穗伸出度分别提高8.8倍及1.2倍。因此，利用h基因有可能充分消除雄性不育系的包颈现象。The character of greatly elongated uppermost internode of wide compatible japonica rice 02428h iscontrolled by a recessive gene(b gene). The study shows that h gene could get genetic expression in maintaince andmale-sterile line(MS-line) and make the uppermost internode elonged. H gene interacts with the fertile and wild abortive male sterile cytoplasm make panicie neck exsert to 15cm and 1.2cm, while panicle neck exsertions of parents zhenshan 97B and A were 1.7cm and -9.8cm. So, h gene makes panicle necks exsert 8.8 and 1.2 times repectively. Its is possible to introduce h gene into male-sterile line so as to eliminate panicle endosure.

Uppermost Mississippian Brachiopods from the Basal Itaituba formation of the Amazon Basin, Brazil

This paper describes 19 brachiopod species (including six indeterminate species) in 15 genera and one indeterminate genus from the basal Itaituba Formation at the Caima Quarry 1 section of Itaituba, Amazon Basin, Brazil. The faunal correlations of the brachiopods and the associated fusulinids and conodonts indicate a late Chesterian (late Serpukhovian) age for the described fauna, therefore confirming for the first time the presence of uppermost Mississippian rocks in the Amazon Basin. A new species, Composita caimaensis, is created, and two species, Inflatia cf. gracilis and Marginovatia cf. catinulus, are described for the first time from the Amazon Basin. The Amazon brachiopods appear to be of strong affinity with coeval faunas of the North American midcontinent.

Uppermost Jurassic to lower Cretaceous benthic foraminifera from ODP Hole 123-765C

Benthic foraminifers were studied in 99 samples collected from the lower 200 m of Hole 765C. The studied section ranges from the Tithonian to Aptian, and benthic foraminifers can be subdivided into five assemblages on the basis of faunal diversity and stratigraphic ranges of distinctive species. Compared with deep-water assemblages from Atlantic DSDP sites and Poland, assemblages from the Argo Abyssal Plain display a higher diversity of agglutinated forms, which comprise the autochthonous assemblages. Assemblages at the base of Hole 765C are wholly composed of agglutinated forms, reflecting deposition beneath the carbonate compensation depth (CCD). Most calcareous benthic species are found in turbidite layers, and the presence of an upper Valanginian Praedorothia praehauteriviana Assemblage may indicate deposition at or just below the CCD. The P. praehauteriviana Assemblage from Hole 765C is the temporal equivalent of similar assemblages from DSDP Holes 534A, 416A, 370, 105, and 101 in the Atlantic Ocean and Hole 306 in the Pacific Ocean. Stratigraphic ranges of cosmopolitan agglutinated species at Site 765 generally overlap with their reported ranges in the Atlantic and in the bathyal flysch sequences of the Carpathians; however, several species from Hole 765C have not been previously reported from Uppermost Jurassic to Lower Cretaceous abyssal sediments.
