A population of hybrids between Arisaema triphyllum subsp. stewardsonii and A. dracontium was investigated using molecular markers to document the hybrid origin. Total genomic DNA was extracted from A. triphyllum, A. dracontium, and the hybrids, and subjected to sequence analysis of various regions of intergenic spacer and genes of chloroplast or intergenic spacer and genes of nuclear ribosome for single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs). Clustering was performed using the unweighted pair group method with averages (UPGMA) tested by bootstrap (BS). Hybrid origin could not be easily confirmed in some regions. However, dendrograms constructed with a combined sequence analysis of A. triphyllum 26S ribosomal RNA gene [sequence identification (SI) 467] plus A. tortuosum phytochrome C-like (phyC) gene (SI 468) were very similar to dendrograms constructed from sequences of all regions. This suggests that selecting SI 467 and SI 468 would be practical to identify hybrid origins involving two parental species. Clustering of hybrids together with the female parent in most target regions suggests that, in Arisaema, cpDNA is considered maternally inherited.  相似文献   

Mutation of a degS homologue in Enterobacter cloacae decreases colonization and biological control of damping-off on cucumber     

Roberts DP  Lohrke SM  McKenna L  Lakshman DK  Kong H  Lydon J 《Phytopathology》2011,101(2):271-280

We have been using mutagenesis to determine how biocontrol bacteria such as Enterobacter cloacae 501R3 deal with complex nutritional environments found in association with plants. E. cloacae C10, a mutant of 501R3 with a transposon insertion in degS, was diminished in growth on synthetic cucumber root exudate (SRE), colonization of cucumber seed and roots, and control of damping-off of cucumber caused by Pythium ultimum. DegS, a periplasmic serine protease in the closely related bacterium Escherichia coli K12, is required for the RpoE-mediated stress response. C10 containing wild-type degS from 501R3 or from E. coli K12 on pBeloBAC11 was significantly increased in growth on SRE, colonization of cucumber roots, and control of P. ultimum relative to C10 containing pBeloBAC11 alone. C10 and 501R3 were similar in sensitivity to acidic conditions, plant-derived phenolic compounds, oxidative stress caused by hydrogen peroxide, dessication, and high osmoticum; stress conditions potentially associated with plants. This study demonstrates a role for degS in the spermosphere and rhizosphere during colonization and disease control by Enterobacter cloacae. This study implicates, for the first time, the involvement of DegS and, by extension, the RpoE-mediated stress response, in reducing stress on E. cloacae resulting from the complex nutritional environments in the spermosphere and rhizosphere.  相似文献

Irreversibility of sulfate sorption on goethite and hematite     

Laurie J. Turner  James R. Kramer 《Water, air, and soil pollution》1992,63(1-2):23-32

Sulfate ion adsorption and desorption experiments carried out on synthetic goethite and hematite and natural hematite show adsorption to be a highly irreversible reaction. All oxides showed an increase in sulfate ion adsorption with decrease in pH. Only a small fraction of sorbed sulfate was desorbable after 48 hr, and only at a pH of 3. Extreme irreversibility of sulfate sorption on these common soil minerals suggests that adsorbed sulfate is more immobile in watersheds than previously considered and that recovery models which inherently assume reversibility may need to be modified.  相似文献   

Comparison of values derived from selected flours by fat acidity methods of the American Association of Cereal Chemists and the International Organization for Standardization     

R H Lane  R L Erickson 《Journal of the Association of Official Analytical Chemists》1988,71(3):569-570

Fat acidity values were determined on 8 commercially available flours by the American Association of Cereal Chemists method (AACC-02-01A) and by the International Organization for Standardization method (ISO-7305). Comparisons of means obtained by these 2 methods indicated that the ISO method produced results that were 1.4-2.5 times greater (P less than 0.001) than those for the AACC method. These data are consistent with a previous report which indicated that acidic materials (phosphates and amino acids) other than fatty acids are extracted by 95% alcohol (ISO method), whereas fatty acids alone are extracted by petroleum ether (AACC method). Fat acidity values obtained by AACC methodology employing Soxhlet and continuous extraction were also compared. No difference in fat acidity means existed with respect to extraction technique except for an aged whole wheat flour sample which produced a higher value (P = 0.05) by continuous extraction.  相似文献   

Serum neutralizing antibody titers in dairy cattle administered an inactivated vesicular stomatitis virus vaccine   总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1  

M A Gearhart  P A Webb  A P Knight  M D Salman  J A Smith  G A Erickson 《Journal of the American Veterinary Medical Association》1987,191(7):819-822

Two doses of a formalin-killed, cell culture-derived vesicular stomatitis virus (vsv)-New Jersey serotype vaccine were administered intramuscularly, 30 days apart, to all lactating and nonlactating cows in a 350-cow dairy herd. Serum specimens were obtained serially from 96 cows before vaccination and at 30, 52 and 80 days after vaccination and from 24 of these cows 175 days after vaccination. Serum neutralizing antibody titers to vsv-New Jersey serotype were determined from serum-dilution, plaque-reduction tests. Serum neutralizing antibody titers also were determined during the same period for 67 nonvaccinated heifers in the herd. Peak group geometric mean serum neutralizing antibody titers of 1:530.46 +/- 1.14 (group geometric mean titer log10, 2.725 +/- 0.055) developed 21 days after the second vaccination, but decreased to a low value of 1:65.36 +/- 1.38 (group geometric mean titer log10, 1.815 +/- 0.142) by 175 days after vaccination. The nonvaccinated group had no detectable antibody titer to vsv-New Jersey serotype throughout the study. All serum specimens from the vaccinates and controls were negative for heterologous reactivity to vsv-Indiana serotype.  相似文献   

Distribution of muscle fiber type in fetal equine gluteus medius muscle     

Randel H. Raub MS  Kevin K. Kline MS  Laurie M. Lawrence PhD  Peter J. Bechtel PhD 《Journal of Equine Veterinary Science》1986,6(3)

The gluteus medius muscles were removed from a four-year-old female Welsh pony and her nine-month-old fetus. The muscles were divided into sections which were histochemically examined to determine the variation in the distribution of fast-twitch-glycolytic (FG), fast-twitch oxidative glycolytic (FOG), and slow-twitch oxidative (SO) muscle fibers throughout the entire cross-section of the muscle. The fetal muscle had a larger percent of FOG fibers and smaller percent of SO fibers than the same muscle from the mare. Variation in the distribution of muscle fiber type within the fetal gluteus medius was found. This is the first study of fiber type variation in fetal equine muscle.  相似文献

Infection with Trichosporon spp was diagnosed in 2 cats. In one cat, infection consisted of a granulomatous dermatitis and was concurrent with disseminated lymphoblastic lymphosarcoma. In another cat, urinary cystitis caused by T beigelii was diagnosed.  相似文献

Improvement of internal color of oranges stored in oxygen-enriched atmospheres     

Yair Aharoni  Laurie G. Houck 《Scientia Horticulturae》1980,13(4):331-338

‘Hamlin’, ‘Parson Brown’ and ‘Pineapple’ oranges were stored for 4 weeks at 15°C in a continuous flow of (1) air, (2) 20 mg 1^?1 ethylene (C₂H₄) in air, (3) 40% O₂ + 60% N₂, or (4) 80% O₂ + 20% N₂, followed by 2 additional weeks in air. Fruits stored in the C₂H₄ atmosphere lost rind chlorophyll faster, and the rind turned orange quicker, than fruits in the other atmospheres. However, most of the fruits stored in the C₂H₄ atmosphere had paler endocarp and juice than fruits stored in the other atmospheres. Fruits stored in 80% O₂ had the palest rind, but their endocarp and juice color were the deepest orange. Color change was detectable after 2–3 weeks and continued to develop until the end of the experiments. In 40% O₂ fruit, response was intermediate.The respiration rate of ‘Pineapple’ oranges during 4 weeks of storage in the test atmospheres was highest in the fruits stored in C₂H₄, almost as high in fruits stored in 80% O₂, and lowest in fruits kept in 40% O₂ or in air. Fruits stored in the different atmospheres did not differ significantly in total soluble solids content, total acidity, or pH of the juice, and the atmospheres did not adversely affect the flavor of the juice.  相似文献
