Mycosphaerella blight, caused by Mycosphaerella pinodes, is one of the major diseases of cultivated pea (Pisum sativum L.). To isolate the genes that are up- and down-regulated during spore germination, suppression subtraction hybridization (SSH) was performed between ungerminated and germinated spores. The 232 and 128 clones from forward and reverse libraries, respectively, were collected, sequenced, and analyzed with a BLASTX homology search. About 95% of the 32 selected clones were expressed during spore germination on a paper sheet and during infection of pea leaves. We discuss the applicability of the SSH libraries for analyzing M. pinodes genes involved in the early stage of infection.  相似文献   

Molecular Characterization of <Emphasis Type="Italic">Bean yellow mosaic virus </Emphasis>from Vegetatively Propagated Dwarf <Emphasis Type="Italic">Gentiana </Emphasis>Plants

The causative virus (isolate No. 4) of gentian (Gentiana spp.) mosaic, which had been identified previously as Clover yellow vein virus (C1YVV) on the basis of host range and serological reactions, was re-identified as Bean yellow mosaic virus (BYMV) on the basis of the nucleotide sequences of the gene for the coat protein (CP) and the 3′-noncoding region, as well as the predicted amino acid sequence of CP.

Interspecies nuclear transfer embryos reconstructed from cat somatic cells and bovine ooplasm     

Thongphakdee A  Kobayashi S  Imai K  Inaba Y  Tasai M  Tagami T  Nirasawa K  Nagai T  Saito N  Techakumphu M  Takeda K 《The Journal of reproduction and development》2008,54(2):142-147

This study was conducted to investigate the developmental capacity of domestic cat-bovine reconstructed embryos via interspecies somatic cell nuclear transfer (iSCNT) and to observe the mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) content of the iSCNT embryos. The iSCNT embryos were generated using mixed-breed domestic cat fibroblasts as donor cells and enucleated bovine oocytes as the recipient cytoplasm. When the developmental capacities of iSCNT embryos and parthenogenic bovine embryos were compared, there was no difference (P>0.05) in the rates of cleavage and development to the 8-cell stage (86.6 vs. 84.0% and 32.2 vs. 36.2%, respectively). However, in contrast to development of parthenogenic embryos to the morula and blastocyst stages, no iSCNT embryos (0/202) developed beyond the 8-cell stage. For mtDNA analysis, iSCNT embryos at the 1-cell, 2-cell, 4-cell and 8-cell stages were randomly selected. Both cat and bovine mtDNA quantification analysis were performed using quantitative PCR. The levels of both cat and bovine mtDNA in cat-bovine iSCNT embryos varied at each stage of development. The cat mtDNA concentration in the iSCNT embryos was stable from the 1-cell to 8-cell stages. The bovine mtDNA in the iSCNT embryos at the 8-cell stage was significantly lower than that at the 4-cell stage (P<0.05). No difference in the proportions of cat mtDNA in the iSCNT embryos was found in any of the observed developmental stages (1- through 8-cell stages). In conclusion, bovine cytoplasm supports domestic cat nucleus development through the 8-cell stage. The mtDNA genotype of domestic cat-bovine iSCNT embryos illustrates persistence of heteroplasmy, and the reduction in mtDNA content might reflect a developmental block at the 8-cell stage.  相似文献   

Establishment of a canine lens epithelial cell line

Some immortalized lens epithelial cell lines have been established and are useful for molecular analysis. The establishment of additional cell lines must, however, enable a variety of in-vitro examinations. The objective of this study was to establish a new canine lens epithelial cell line by isolating CLC-1 cells from the lens tissue of a dog with cataracts. In CLC-1 cells, transforming growth factor beta (TGF-β) treatment significantly decreased gene expression of an epithelial marker and elevated that of mesenchymal markers; these characteristics are similar to those of a human lens epithelial cell line. Interestingly, CLC-1 cells exhibited lower expression of an epithelial marker and higher expression of mesenchymal markers than an anterior lens capsule. These results suggest that CLC-1 cells were derived from a cell population that was committed to epithelial-mesenchymal transition in cataract lens tissue. In conclusion, CLC-1 cells could be useful for analyzing molecular pathogenesis in canine cataracts.  相似文献   

Pedigree analysis of genetic subdivision in a population of Japanese Black cattle     

Takeshi HONDA  Tetsuro NOMURA  Yuki YAMAGUCHI  Fumio MUKAI 《Animal Science Journal》2002,73(6):445-452

Twenty‐five subpopulations (i.e. populations of prefectures) of more than 2000 Japanese Black cows younger than or equal to 10 years of age were analyzed to evaluate the genetic relationships in the current population. The total number of cows analyzed was 392 346 and their pedigrees were traced back to 1944 or before. Using the pedigree records, the genetic relationships among the subpopulations were estimated by the two different measurements: (i) the average additive relationship coefficients and (ii) Nei's standard genetic distances. Principal component analysis (PCA) was performed to the matrix of the average additive relationship coefficients, and the factor loadings of subpopulations were plotted on the plane to visualize the genetic configuration of subpopulations. To understand the grouping process of the subpopulations, cluster analysis was applied to the matrix of the Nei's genetic distances, and a dendrogram was constructed. There was a high consistency between the results from PCA and cluster analysis. Eight subpopulations with relatively low migration rates showed their unique genetic compositions, and the other 17 subpopulations with high migration rates formed a single cluster. The major cause of the genetic similarity among the 17 subpopulations was inferred to be the strong genetic influence from one subpopulation (Hyogo prefecture) with prominent characteristics for meat quality.  相似文献   

Factors associated with improved haemagglutination by African horse sickness virus     

S. Tokuhisa  Y. Inaba  K. Sato 《Veterinary microbiology》1982,7(2):177-181

Concentrated cell culture fluids of African horse sickness virus were shown to agglutinate erythrocytes from cattle, horses, sheep, goats, guinea pigs, rabbits, and poultry at 4°C, room temperature, and 37°C. The titres obtained were dependent on pH and NaCl molarity of the diluent, optimal titres being obtained at pH 7.5 and 0.6 M NaCl. The HA inhibiting antibodies to two AHS viruses were proven to be type specific.  相似文献   

Hemagglutination by calf diarrhea coronavirus     

K. Sato  Y. Inaba  H. Kurogi  E. Takahashi  K. satoda  T. Omori  M. Matumoto 《Veterinary microbiology》1977,2(1):83-87

The virus was grown in BEK-1 cells, a stable cell line from bovine embryo kidney, and tested for hemagglutination (HA) with erythrocytes of a variety of species at 4°C, room temperature and 37°C. HA was observed at all temperatures with chicken, mouse, rat, and hamster erythrocytes but not with erthyrocytes of human (O), cattle, horses, sheep, guinea pigs, geese, ducks, pigeons and 1-day-old chicks. Chickens showed an individual variation in agglutinability of their erythrocytes, requiring selection of birds to obtain erythrocytes for HA. HA reaction was inhibited by specific antiserum. Some factors involved in HA and HA inhibition (HI) were investigated and standard HA and HI tests were worked out.  相似文献   

Runaway growth of planetary embryos facilitated by massive bodies in a protoplanetary disk     

Kortenkamp SJ  Wetherill GW  Inaba S 《Science (New York, N.Y.)》2001,293(5532):1127-1129

About 30% of detected extrasolar planets exist in multiple-star systems. The standard model of planet formation cannot easily accommodate such systems and has difficulty explaining the odd orbital characteristics of most extrasolar giant planets. We demonstrate that the formation of terrestrial-size planets may be insulated from these problems, enabling much of the framework of the standard model to be salvaged for use in complex systems. A type of runaway growth is identified that allows planetary embryos to form by a combination of nebular gas drag and perturbations from massive companions-be they giant planets, brown dwarfs, or other stars.  相似文献   

Complete cDNA sequence and mRNA expression of dog preproendothelin-3     

Fujimori Y  Uchide T  Temma K  Sasaki T  Kizaki K  Hara Y  Saida K 《The Journal of veterinary medical science / the Japanese Society of Veterinary Science》2004,66(10):1251-1254

The full-length cDNA of dog preproendothelin-3 (PPET3) was cloned from lung tissue using RT-PCR and rapid amplification of cDNA ends. Aside from the poly (A) tail, the full-length cDNA was 1976 bp. A polyadenylation signal sequence and one copy of a consensus sequence, ATTTA, which is related to mRNA turnover, was found in the 3' noncoding region. The cDNA had a 594-bp open reading frame encoding a 198-amino acid polypeptide. Regions corresponding to a bioactive mature ET3 peptide, an intermediate form known as big-ET3, and an ET3-like peptide were observed in dog PPET3. Expression of PPET3 mRNA was detected throughout the organs examined, which included heart, lung, liver, kidney, spleen, stomach, pancreas, duodenum, colon, uterus, ovary and testis.  相似文献
