Evidence of hybridization in Haliotis has been mainly supported by hatchery experiences and collection of wild hybrid abalones among several species from natural populations worldwide. However, despite the importance to understand the role of the hybridization process through Haliotidae evolution, and also its impact on the abalone aquaculture, genetic studies in hybrid abalones have been poorly developed. Herein, cytogenetic approach allows studying the genetic conformation in hybrid organisms at the chromosome level. This paper reports a quantitative karyotype analysis in Haliotis rufescens, Haliotis discus hannai and their interspecific hybrid. Thus, to characterize chromosome pairs and establish cytogenetic comparisons, chromosome banding with distamycin‐A/4,6‐diamidino‐2‐phenylindole fluorochromes and morphologic measurements were performed. The results showed that the hybrids are successfully viable and their karyotypes evidenced a conservative chromosome number of 2n=36. The karyo‐idiogram showed a high correspondence in chromosome pair morphology among the hybrids and their parental species, except for a single heteromorphic pair that corresponds to the chromosome 16 from H. rufescens andH. d. hannai respectively. The implications of the abalone hybrid viability derived from its chromosome composition are discussed.  相似文献   

A fluorescence‐based assay for in vitro screening of Saprolegnia inhibitors          下载免费PDF全文

S E Ali  I Skaar 《Journal of fish diseases》2017,40(10):1333-1339

The incidence of fish pathogenic oomycetes, Saprolegnia, has increased significantly in aquaculture since the ban of malachite green. For the efficient characterization of anti‐Saprolegnia therapeutics, simple accurate methods are required. However, the current screening methods are limited by time, and none of them are confirming the viability of treated spores or hyphae. In this study, a modified fluorescence‐based assay for the in vitro screening of Saprolegnia inhibitors has been developed. This method involves the use of FUN‐1 viability dye combined with calcofluor white M2R, and is based on the formation of orange‐red cylindrical intravacuolar structures (CIVS) in metabolically active spores, hyphae and biofilms. Heat‐killed and bronopol‐treated Saprolegnia spores, hyphae and biofilms exhibited diffuse bright green fluorescence which confirms complete loss of viability. For boric acid‐treated spores, no germination was observed. However, tiny CIVS were observed in 50% of treated spores which indicated reduction in their viability. Our results proved that FUN‐1 dye is an efficient tool to distinguish between live and dead Saprolegnia spores, hyphae and biofilms and to monitor the change in Saprolegnia viability during qualitative evaluation of potential anti‐Saprolegnia compounds.  相似文献   

Synthetic tetramer of a Phytophthora sojae-inducible fragment from soybean GmaSKTI36 promoter improves its pathogen induction activities     

《Physiological and Molecular Plant Pathology》2016

Using pathogen-induced promoters to control expression of the functional genes in transgenic plants may greatly increase the chances of boosting disease resistance. However, the number of the inducible promoters is limited. Here, we found that soybean GmaSKTI36 gene is strongly induced upon Phytophthora sojae infection. Functional analysis showed that its promoter could mediate rapid and strong induction of GUS expression upon pathogen infection in both Nicotiana benthamiana leaves and soybean hairy roots. Then, a 122 bp fragment that was critical to the activity was successfully identified by a progressive 5′ deletion analysis. Importantly, we found that a synthetic promoter by tetramerizing this fragment could confer strong P. sojae induction activities. Overall, the results suggested that the GmaSKTI36 promoter, the 122 bp fragment, and the synthetic promoter are potentially useful pathogen-inducible promoters.  相似文献

由于日益增长的环境问题,作为节水灌溉的基础——土壤中优先流的运动特性越来越受到关注。利用亮蓝对初始含水量不同的2组土壤中的非均匀流动进行了示踪研究。通过染色示踪试验采集土壤表平面的溶质迁移动态图像,结合图像分析讨论2种不同初始含水量土壤表平面溶质运移的变异过程。结果表明:2种初始含水量土壤中土样表面的溶质运移分布都不均匀;不同初始含水量土壤中土样表面溶质运移的动态过程不同;随着入渗时间与入渗水量的增大,2种初始含水量土壤中土样表面的分维数呈现非线性增长,染色剂的分布面积非线性扩大,但扩大程度非线性减小。  相似文献

夏立群  梁海鹰  张红莲  秦启伟 《水产学报》2010,34(4):611-617

新加坡石斑鱼虹彩病毒（singapore grouper iridovirus,SGIV）是一种严重的能引起全身性疾病的病原体,对石斑鱼养殖造成了重大的经济损失。将含有SGIV感染细胞多肽ICP46（infected cell polypeptides 46）基因的真核表达载体pEGFP-ICP46转染到胖头鲤细胞（fathead minnow cells,FHM）中进行融合表达,用荧光显微镜观察到ICP46-GFP融合蛋白主要分布于FHM细胞的细胞质中。根据SGIV-ICP46的序列,设计并体外化学合成了特异性干扰SGIV-ICP46的siRNA（siRNA-ICP46）,与pEGFP-ICP46共转染到FHM细胞中,通过荧光显微镜观察不同时间点荧光强度的变化。转染后24~48 h,实验细胞（共转染siRNA-ICP46和pEGFP-ICP46）和阳性对照细胞（共转染siRNA-GFP和pEGFP-ICP46）中的荧光微弱,发荧光的细胞数量较阴性对照（共转染siRNA-Negative和pEGFP-ICP46）少70%左右,但其后实验细胞和阳性对照细胞的荧光强度开始增强,在转染后72 h其与阴性对照组已差别不大。说明体外化学合成的siRNA-ICP46转染后24~48 h可有效抑制FHM细胞中外源导入SGIV-ICP46基因的表达。  相似文献   

A quantitative method for detecting ammonia‐oxidizing bacteria in coastal aquaculture systems     

Kishore K Krishnani  Velusamy Kathiravan 《Aquaculture Research》2010,41(11):1648-1657

There is a need to quantify autotrophic nitrifiers in coastal aquaculture systems for evolving a bioremediation strategy. Autotrophic nitrifiers are extremely slow‐growing organisms, which cannot be detected by traditional methods as they are notoriously difficult to culture. Molecular techniques based on functional genes could be deployed for the detection of nitrifiers. Ammonia monooxygenase (amoA), that catalyses the oxidation of ammonia to hydroxylamine in the rate‐determining step of nitrification is largely unique to ammonia‐oxidizing bacteria (AOB). In the present study, a quantitative real‐time polymerase chain reaction assay targeting amoA was developed to estimate AOB population size in coastal soil, ammonia‐removing bioaugmentors and the solid matrix. To achieve this objective, different set of primers and a dual labelled probe have been designed for SYBR Green and TaqMan real‐time assays. The abundance of AOB ranged from 10⁴ to 10⁶ order of magnitude in the samples. In the present study, biofilm formation of the consortium of nitrifying bacteria onto bagasse has also been quantified. The results demonstrate that the developed method is a rapid and sensitive tool for the quantitative detection of nitrifying bacteria in aquatic and related environment. This helps in making the bioremediation approach for ammonia removal by immobilization of nitrifying bacteria onto the natural substrate.  相似文献

Migration,colonization and seedling growth of rhizobia with matrine treatment in alfalfa (Medicago sativa L.)     

Yang-yang Miao  Jian-guo Zhang  Osama Abdalla Mohamad 《Acta Agriculturae Scandinavica, Section B - Plant Soil Science》2018,68(1):26-38

Purpose: The purposes of this study were to determine the effect of matrine on the migration and the colonization dynamics of the two fluorescent-tagged rhizobia in Gannong No.5 alfalfa (Medicago sativa L. Gannong No. 5) tissues, and also to determine the effect of the combination treatments on alfalfa seedlings’ growth.

Materials and methods: 0, 100, 200, 300 and 400 mg L^?1 matrine levels were added into two cyan fluorescent protein (CFP)-tagged rhizobia; Ensifer meliloti LZgn5f (gn5f) and Ensifer meliloti 12531f (12531f), respectively; and drenched the alfalfa root with the inoculants. Then the migration and colonization of the two rhizobia in alfalfa on D7, D14, D21 and D28, and subsequently seedling growth were investigated.

Results: The results showed that the optimum matrine level enhanced the colonization of both fluorescent-tagged rhizobia in alfalfa roots and the highest colonization densities of log 6.31 cfu g^?1 and log 5.87 cfu g^?1 were achieved by adding 300 mg L^?1 matrine into 12531f and adding 100 mg L^?1 matrine into gn5f, respectively. They could migrate to the aerial tissues and most colonize stems through the application of adding 300 mg L^?1 matrine into 12531f and 100 mg L^?1 matrine into gn5f, respectively. No fluorescent-tagged rhizobia were detected in the control treatment. Alfalfa seedling growth parameters like leaf chlorophyll content, seedling growth rate, root length, seedling biomass and total N percentage also increased the most when 300 mg L^?1 matrine was added into 12531f and 100 mg L^?1 matrine added into gn5f treatments.

Conclusions: Our results suggest that 300 mg L^?1 matrine added into 12531f and 100 mg L^?1 matrine added into gn5f might be exploited to promote the colonization of rhizobia in alfalfa tissue and positively impact growth and yield, indicating possible benefits for plant cultivation.  相似文献

以太行山区崇陵流域的典型坡面为研究对象,通过亮蓝(Blue-FCF)与KI染色示踪试验,利用图像处理软件技术,计算优先流形态特征参数,分析5个不同坡位的优先流形态特征变化规律。结果表明:(1)随着坡位升高,坡面土壤厚度、容重逐渐减小,而总孔隙度、渗透系数、饱和含水量逐渐增大,凋萎系数与田间持水量则呈现波动变化趋势;(2)随着坡位的升高,染色剂运移深度不断增加,基质流区域占比减小而优先流区域占比增大;各坡位染色面积比随深度缓慢下降,在40cm以下深度范围高坡位点的土壤水分与周围土体交互作用较低坡位点较弱;染色剂入渗体积随坡位升高而逐渐增大;(3)随着坡位的升高,优先流对实际水分运移的贡献增大,高坡位坡面水分以优先流为主要方式向下入渗;(4)土壤质地与容重是影响土石山区坡面不同坡位优先流差异的主要因素。  相似文献
