The japonica rice cultivar "Nipponbare" and indica rice cultivar "9311" were treated by nitrogen ion beam implantation and γ-rays irradiation to induce mutants for genetic and functional genomics researches.The damage effects were evaluated in M_1 generation and M_1 plants were harvested by single plant.Screening in M_2 generation and identifying in M_3 generation,740 and 666 mutants in Nipponbare and 571 and 781 mutants in "9311",were induced by nitrogen ion beam and γ-rays.Morphological variations at vegetative and reproductive stages,including leaf,stalk,panicle,seed and various physiological characters,were commonly observed in the two mutagenized populations.The mutation frequency of 6.44% for Nipponbare at the ion beam dose of 5.0×10~(16) N~+/cm~2 and 6.38% for "9311" at 2.5×10~(16) N~+/cm~2 were observed,and for r-rays irradiation at dosage of 150Gy were 5.68% and 9.44% respectively.In the present study,the damages in M_1 generation of each higher mutation population were least.So,this new mutant library,which was obtained by ion beam implantation and γ-rays irradiation,may be helpful for gene identification and gene functional analysis in future.
Mature and young seeds of japonic rice cultivar "Nipponbare" were used as materials to induce and produce embryogenic callus.Four RNAi and two anti-sense RNA expression vectors of rice cryptochrome gene were transformed into these callus tissue mediated by agrobacterium tumefaciens.Induced plants were obtained by resistance screening and differentiation culture.Positive transgenic plants were identified through molecular detection.Statistic analysis of induced callus rate,resistance callus rate,seedling differentiation rate and transformation rate were then carried out.The results indicated that the callus induction rate for all matuer seeds,fresh mature seeds and young seeds was higher than 81%,averaged 86.67%,with the induction rate for fresh mature seeds highest up to 96.87%.The resistance callus rate for mature embryo was 22.21%~40.71%,averaged 28.49%,for young embryo was 36.79%~43.21%,averaged 40%,which means the resistance callus rate for the young embryo was higher than that for the mature embryo.The seedling differentiation emergence rate for mature embryo was 59.29%~80.43%,averaged 71.59%,for young embryo was 63.16%~72.73%,averaged 67.95%,showing no significant difference between the two kinds of embryos.The transformation rate(Gus positive rate) for mature embryo was 43.07%~81.08%,averaged 61.51%,for young embryo was 58.33%~76.67%,averaged 67.50%,which means the transformation rate for the young embryo was slightly higher than that for the mature embryo.
M_3 dwarf mutants derived from both mixed particle field(CR) and γ-rays irradiation in winter wheat varieties ZY9 and ZH7 were used to compare the DNA molecular differences of two induced mutagenesis by SSR polymorphism analysis.114 sets of SSR markers randomly distributed over the 21 chromosomes of wheat were included.The results showed that the SSR polymorphic loci mostly distributed in chromosomes 2A,2B,2D,3D and 5A of the M_3 dwarf mutants induced by CR;but in chromosomes 2A,2B,2D,4A and 5A by γ-rays in wheat varieties ZY9 and ZH7.Compared to the γ-rays irradiation,more DNA fragments and change of molecular weight could be induced in the mutants derived from CR irradiation in ZY9 and ZH7,but less band lack was found in M_3 dwarf mutants derived from CR irradiation.Sequence analysis showed that base substitution and insertion were the main mutation types induced by CR irradiation,and base T might be the hotspot base to mutation.It was concluded that CR irradiation could result in DNA variation of wheat and could be a new effective approach for crop mutation breeding.
The effects of different protein extraction methods(phenol extraction method and TCA-acetone precipitation method),and different lysis buffer on two-dimensional electrophoresis(2-DE) gels were compared,the loading quantity of sample and the gel concentrations were also optimized for the analysis of 2-DE system on the monokaryotic stage anther of wheat.The results showed that,samples prepared by TCA/acetone precipitation had observed more protein spots than phenol extraction method,and clearer background and protein spots were obtained in the 2-DE map.The sample dissolved in the lysis bufferⅡ which contained thiourea and TBP,could enhanced the protein solubility,and about 554 protein spots were detected on the 2-DE gels,which was 39 protein spots more than the lysis bufferⅠ.The proteins extracted by the TCA/acetone method,dissolved protein with the lysis buffer Ⅱ,with pH 4~7 17cm IPG scip,800μg loading quantity and 13% concentrations of the SDS-PAGE gel,the proteins were well separated,total 631 protein spots were detected.The optimized condition of 2-DE was suitable for proteomic analysis of wheat anthers.
The wheat variety "Yannong 15" were treated by EMS(ethyl methane sulfonate) for the construction of the mutant genebank and the creation of new germplasm,which provided the foundational materials for the study of wheat functional gene and wheat genetic improvement.After the selection from M_2 generation and the identification of M_3 generation,eleven mutant lines with the most significant variation on the traits of grain size and plant height,were obtained.All of the mutant lines are composited trait mutants,and according to variation character,they could be divided into three types: 8 mutant lines with large grain size and long-culm,2 mutant lines with semidwarf,1 mutant line with long-culm and multi-tiller.A total of 715 EST-SSR primer pairs were used to analyze "Yannong15" and 4 M_3 mutant lines.Polymorphic fragments were detected from 14 primer pairs,of which 12 showed polymorphism that with or without amplified fragment and 2 with different fragment length.
The mutants induced by space environment were selected from the four samples that loaded in the Satellite SF8 and named as S.cerevisiae FL 01-M,FL 03-M, 2.0016-M and 2.1424-M corresponded to the original strain.The effects of space environment on biomass,cell wall and some polysaccharides of S.cerevisiae were detected.The results indicated that,the biomass,ratio of yeast cell wall to biomass,thickness of yeast cell wall,the contents of β-glucans and mannans of the mutant 2.0016-M were significantly increased 46.7%,3.8%, 62.6%,146.8%,18.8%,respectively(P<0.01).Through continuously inoculated 8 descendants,the genetic stability of S.cerevisiae 2.0016-M was studied,there is no reverse reversion mutation being observed.The biomass,the ratio of cell wall to biomass,the thickness of the cell wall,contents of β-glucan and mannan of the strains FL01-M and 2.1424-M were affected insignificantly by space environment.All indexes of FL03-M were reduced significantly by space environment except biomass.So the sensitivity to space environment of each S.cerevisiae stain were different,the polysaccharides content of some S.cerevisiae specific lines could be improved efficiently by space mutation.
Effect of ion implantation on strain KNP414 of Bacillus mucilaginosus was investigated.Survival ratio of isolate KNP414 was independent of the tested ions species and energy,but was highly dependent on their doses and the presence of bacterial capsule.14 phytate-degradation mutants were obtained from the spores implanted with N~+(20keV,5×10~(15)~5×10~(16) ions cm~(-2)),and their phytate-degradation capacities were 15%~35%.Amongst,3 mutants(KNP414-04, KNP414-05,KNP414-12) with higher solubilizing capacities of mineral phosphate and potassium were identified.Their solubilizing capacities of the two minerals increased by 14.7%~27.5% and 16.2%~26.4%,respectively.Mutant KNP41412 was found to be able to dissolve 57.3% phytate in the optimized medium and the degradation ratio was comparatively stable in seven continuous generations and during the storage process.In conclusion,ion implantation was an effective mutagenic source for isolate KNP414,since it increased the abilities to solubilize phosphate and potassium as well as to degradate phytate.Meanwhile the screening method used in this study has been proved to be successful for rapid selection of phytate-degradation mutants.
DNA of aborted and normal buds in Radish male sterility BT-18 was extracted,and the mRNA difference of the aborted and normal bud was studied by DD-PCR.DNA of aborted bud showed regular ladder,while normal bud showed a strip only,this result provided biochemistry evidence on which cell programmed death occurred in aborted bud of Radish;107 sequences were gained by DD-PCR,in which 94 sequences were from aborted bud,13 sequences were from normal bud.Result of BLAST showed 50% homologous different sequences in function protein were from chloroplast,so it is suggested that aborted bud of Radish had close relations with chloroplast;Maturase K in chloroplast was amplified thrice in different primer combinations,it was found that sequences of 282bp and 283bp in length were the same,but sequence of 396bp differed from sequences of 282bp and 283bp in length,so it is suggested that the two sequences coded different subunit of maturase K.Maturase K is concerned with cutting intron of RNA transcription Ⅱ in chloroplast and modulates expression of gene through influencing introns cut,so we suggested increment of maturase K gene expression in chloroplast might change protein synthesis,and induced abnormal development and aborted bud in Radish;DNA methyltransferase might regulate and control development of Radish,and also induced abnormal development and aborted bud of Radish by DNA methylation.If BLASTx score was less than 80 and no significant similarity found,BLASTn will be carried through,the results suggested that PCD might be a physiology and biochemistry phenomenon which existed in aborted bud of Radish,plant senescence and adversity intimidating.
The effect of 30 keV nitrogen ion beams,UV and γ-rays irradiation on pollen germination and pollen tube growth of Pinus thunbergii were investigated.Results showed that the biological effects induced by ion beam implantation were different from those induced by UV and γ-rays irradiation.The dose response curve of ion implantation treatment presented a particular'saddle-like'pattern, and ion implantation also significantly induced pollen tube tip swelling.These results indicated that low energy ion implantation might work in different way compared to UV and γ-rays irradiation.It was suggested that pollen could be served as an excellent model system to study the underlying mechanisms responsible for biological effects of ion beam irradiation at cellular level.
