利用RT-PCR技术,从条锈菌诱导的小麦叶片中分离出一个编码CaM基因的cDNA序列, 经氨基酸序列分析确定其为一个新的小麦CaM亚型,暂被命名为TaCaM5。TaCaM5包含一个完整450 bp的开放阅读框,编码149个氨基酸;编码的蛋白不含跨膜区、无信号肽、定位在胞内,具有4个EF-hand保守结构域。在目前已知的CaM基因中,TaCaM5与玉米CaM基因的亲缘关系最近,相似性高达97%。该基因在根、茎、叶等组织中均有不同程度的表达;并且受条锈菌诱导表达,在非亲和组合与亲和组合中,分别在接种后6 h和24 h表达量最高。外源植物激素脱落酸、茉莉酸甲酯和乙烯诱导TaCaM5上调表达,水杨酸诱导其下调表达。TaCaM5在机械伤害、干旱和低温条件下表达量上升,在高盐环境下表达量降低。表明TaCaM5可能通过茉莉酸和乙烯等信号途径参与小麦对条锈菌的防御反应,同时参与机械伤害、低温和干旱环境下的Ca²⁺-CaM信号转导途径。  相似文献   

Identification of the SP22 Sperm Protein in Santa Inês and Dorper Rams     

APA Favareto  L Rodello  CA Taconeli  SD Bicudo  GR Klinefelter  WG Kempinas 《Reproduction in domestic animals》2010,45(2):323-330

The sperm membrane protein referred to as SP22 has been identified in different species and, at least in rats, is highly correlated with fertility. The goals of this study were to identify and to quantify the SP22 protein on spermatozoa from adult rams (Dorper and Santa Inês breeds), and to correlate its levels to morphological and kinematics parameters. SP22 on ram sperm was effectively quantified by both enzyme‐linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) and fluorescein isothiocyanate immunostaining analysis and the two methods were significantly correlated (R² = 0.70). Clustering analysis of motility parameters obtained by computer‐assisted semen analysis system was used to establish that three distinct kinematic subpopulations with different vigour and progressiveness coexistent within ejaculate. While there were significant differences in the distribution of the three subpopulations in the rams, there was no significant correlation between the proportion of each subpopulation in the rams and the SP22 levels. Quantification of SP22 immunostaining intensity was not correlated with any of the sperm parameters. However, SP22 levels obtained by ELISA were negatively correlated with morphological abnormalities and positively correlated with membrane integrity (three variable R² = 0.47). Future breeding studies are now needed to validate that this protein is a biomarker of fertility in this species.  相似文献   

High Periconceptional Protein Intake Modifies Uterine and Embryonic Relationships Increasing Early Pregnancy Losses and Embryo Growth Retardation in Sheep     

CA Meza‐Herrera  TT Ross  DM Hallford  DE Hawkins  A Gonzalez‐Bulnes 《Reproduction in domestic animals》2010,45(4):723-728

The effects of supplemented protein level (PL) during the periconceptional period and their interaction with body condition were evaluated in sheep. Multiparous Rambouillet ewes (n = 12) received two PL of rumen undegradable protein (UIP) during a 30‐day pre‐mating and 15‐day post‐mating period: low [LPL, 24% crude protein (CP), 14 g UIP and 36 g/CP animal/day] and high [HPL, 44% CP, 30 g UIP and 50 g/CP animal/day]. While ovulation rate (OR) did not differ between treatments (1.6 ± 0.5, mean ± SEM), a lower fertility rate, a decreased embryo number and a reduced uterine pH (UpH) was observed in the HPL group (p < 0.05), irrespective of BC. Luteal tissue weight, volume and progesterone secretion did not differ among treatments. Sheep with lower UpH also had lower conceptus weight (Cwt; p < 0.05, r = 0.65) and conceptuses with lower mass tended to secrete less INF‐τ and IGF‐1, and the correspondent endometrial explants had a higher basal PGF_2α release. Current study indicates that high protein diets during the periconceptional period in sheep modify uterine and embryonic relationships, increasing early pregnancy losses and inducing embryo growth retardation. Surviving embryos were affected by weight reductions, which could compromise later foetal growth and birth weight. Results evidence the key role of a balanced diet in reproductive success and indicate that the quality and nutrient composition of the maternal diet are essential for an adequate establishment of pregnancy, having paramount effects on the interplay of the embryo and the uterus.  相似文献

Effects of thyroxine administration on the growth and survival of pike silverside (Chirostoma estor) juveniles     

Pamela Navarrete‐Ramírez  Aurea Orozco  Carlos Valverde‐R  Aurora Olvera  Elva Mayra Toledo‐Cuevas  LG Ross  CA Martínez‐Palacios 《Aquaculture Research》2011,42(6):808-814

The pike silverside has high aquaculture potential despite its slow growth. In this study, thyroxine (T₄) concentrations (0.13, 1.3 and 13 nM), a control with no hormonal supplement and a negative control containing 4.5 mM methimazole (MMI) were tested to evaluate the growth of this species. Juveniles (0.2 g) were exposed by immersion to these treatments for 8 h every second day for 120 days, and growth evaluations were performed monthly over the entire trial period. In addition, tissue samples from each treatment group were assayed for triiodothyronine (T₃) and deiodinase type 2 (D2) activity . The survival rates in all T₄ groups were high, and a significant increase in growth was observed (average of 58%). The MMI treatment caused an increase in mortality and a reduction in the final body weight compared with the control. T₄ administration did not affect the tissue levels of T₃, and it decreased muscular D2 activity only after 30 days of exposure. These results demonstrated that low concentrations of T₄ in the culture environment could improve the growth of this species without affecting tissue hormone levels. The technique may have useful applications for early‐stage aquaculture of this and other economically important species.  相似文献   

Bovine asymmetric hind limb paresis, a presumptive in-utero plant poisoning     

CA BOURKE 《Australian veterinary journal》1996,74(1):42-45

Summary: A new locomotory disturbance of cattle is described. The condition has occurred sporadically since the mid-1980s. Affected herds had all grazed flood plain pastures in a restricted area of north-western New South Wales. Calves were either born with clinical signs or developed them by 4 months of age. The disease was characterised by a slowly progressive, irreversible, asymmetrical, paresis of the hind limbs. Affected cattle experienced persistent hyper-extension of the hip and stifle joints. Macroscopic and microscopic examination of the nervous and musculoskeletal systems failed to demonstrate abnormalities that would account for the clinical signs. The disorder shares many similarities with bovine spastic paresis. It is suggested that the pathogenesis of the disorder is nervous, and probably involves nigro-striatal, medulla oblongata, and spinal dysfunctional inputs. An in-utero plant poisoning was suspected but no specific plant association was determined.  相似文献   

Development and trial of a bovine herpesvirus 1 - thymidine kinase deletion virus as a vaccine     

GA SMITH  PL YOUNG†  BJ RODWELL†  MA KELLY†  GJ STORIE†  CA FARRAH†  JS MATTICK† 《Australian veterinary journal》1994,71(3):65-70

SUMMARY An Australian bovine herpesvirus 1 (BHV1) isolate with a defined (427 base pair) deletion in the protein coding region of the thymidine kinase gene was obtained by standard marker rescue procedures. After selection in the presence of the nucleotide analogue 5iodo-deoxy-uridine the virus was analysed by hybridisation with three differential oligonucleotide probes, restriction endonuclease profile studies and DNA sequence analysis. The virus elicited an immune response in recipient animals after either intramuscular or intravenous administration and produced no significant deleterious side-effects when administered at a dose sufficient to stimulate the host immune response. The safety and immunogenicity of the recombinant BHV1 virus 39B1 were similar to those reported for other registered BHV1 vaccines and the virus would appear to be suitable for the production of a vaccine seed lot and more exhaustive field trials as a prelude to commercial vaccine production and registration.  相似文献   

Practices and opinions of New Zealand beef cattle farmers towards bovine viral diarrhoea control in relation to real and perceived herd serological status     

MC Gates  CA Evans  J-H Han  C Heuer  JF Weston 《New Zealand veterinary journal》2020,68(2):92-100

ABSTRACT

Aims: To investigate the seroprevalence of infection with bovine viral diarrhoea (BVD) virus among 75 beef herds and seroconversion in cattle during early pregnancy, and to determine the practices and opinions of farmers towards BVD control and their association with real and perceived herd serological status.

Methods: Blood samples were collected before mating in 75 beef herds across New Zealand from 15 unvaccinated heifers that had delivered their first calf that season. Serum samples were tested for BVD antibodies using ELISA individually, and after pooling samples for each farm. Animals that were antibody-negative were retested at either pregnancy diagnosis or weaning. Farmers were asked to complete a detailed survey about herd demographics, BVD testing and vaccination practices, and opinions towards national BVD control.

Results: Based on the pooled serum antibody ELISA results, there were 28/75 (37%) negative herds, 15/75 (20%) suspect herds, and 32/75 (43%) positive herds. Of 1,117 animals sampled 729 (65.3%) tested negative for BVD virus antibodies; when retested, 47/589 (8.0%) animals from 13/55 (24%) herds had seroconverted. Among 71 famers providing survey responses 11 (15%) believed their herd was infected with BVD, 24 (34%) were unsure and 36 (51%) did not think their herd was infected. Only 19/71 (18%) farmers had performed any BVD testing within the past 5 years and 50/70 (71%) had not vaccinated any cattle for BVD. Support for national BVD eradication programme was strong in 51/71 (56%) respondents, but the biggest challenge to BVD control was considered to be famer compliance. Compared to farmers who did not think their herd was infected, more farmers who thought BVD was present in their herds had previously tested for BVD, would consider testing all replacement calves, and would support establishing a national BVD database; fewer would consider purchasing BVD tested or vaccinated cattle only.

Conclusions and clinical relevance: Only 15% of the beef farmers in this study believed their herds were infected with BVD virus and few of them had undertaken BVD screening. Nevertheless many were supportive of implementing a national BVD control programme. It is likely that the lack of farmer awareness around BVD and the failure of farmers to recognise the potential impacts in their herds are hindering progress in controlling the disease in New Zealand. There are opportunities for New Zealand veterinarians to be more proactive in helping beef farmers explore BVD management options.  相似文献
