Gonadal differentiation can take many forms in fish, ranging from gonochorism, where individuals directly develop as male
or female and finally possess only testis or ovaries at sexual maturation, to hermaphroditism where the same individuals can
produce mature male and female gametes at some time in their lives. Hermaphrodite fish are, thus, an excellent model for studying
the plasticity of sex determination and differentiation in vertebrates. We have shown that sex steroids play a principal role
in sex differentiation and sex change in fish. Our laboratory implements several fish models that undergo sex change from
female to male or male to female or in both directions. In this review, we will briefly discuss recent advances in our understanding
of the mechanism of sex change in coral reef fish. 相似文献

Genetic diversity of 30 radish (Raphanus sativus L.) accessions was investigated at the phenotypic level with morphological characters and at the DNA level using the random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) technique. Thirty-six morpho-physiological traits were recorded from seedling stage to harvest. The 31 primers used generated 202 RAPD bands, of which 158 (78.2%) were polymorphic. Multivariate procedures were used to classify the germplasm on the basis of phenotypic traits and RAPD fragments. Dendrograms were generated for the Euclidean distance from the morphological data and the Nei's genetic distance from the RAPD markers. Phenotypically, all the accessions were classified into four major groups corresponding to the different forms of cultivated radish. The morphological diversity existing within each of these groups suggested that they should be discriminated into the three botanical convarieties, sativusT (large-rooted), caudatus (pod-type) and oleifer (oilseed-type). Clustering of the accessions did not show any pattern of association between the morphological characters and the collection sites. Instead, landrace groups were associated with their morphological similarities and horticultural uses. On the other hand, the intra-specific genetic relationships of several accessions based on RAPD analysis were related primarily to their collection sites rather than to their phenotypic affinities. The level of polymorphism exhibited by the various convarieties could be exploited in genetic mapping populations to tag economically important traits. These genotypes also could serve as a useful germplasm source for root, leaf, pod and seed. This preliminary study of traditional radish landraces from Pakistan provides useful information regarding their horticultural potential. 相似文献

The differential hosts of Williams (1966) and the European Clubroot Differential (ECD) (Buczacki et al., 1975) have been used commonly to identify populations of Plasmodiophora brassicae, which causes clubroot disease in Brassica crops. However, some of these hosts showed intermediate and fluctuating scores to most populations from Japan. Therefore, these hosts could not be used to provide a clear classification in Japan. We have tried to clarify the genetic diversity in pathogenicity of P. brassicae in Japan using Japanese clubroot-resistant (CR) F1 hybrid (F1) cultivars and lines of Brassica rapa. The responses of some CR F1 cultivars were very clear. Four groups of field populations in Japan were recognized using the CR F1 cultivars. The clear response obtained here may depend largely on the genetic purity of the F1 cultivars. Moreover, it is possible to classify some of these Japanese populations into the same race using the Williams set and ECD 01 to ECD 05. The present differential hosts may be useful in the study of European populations of P. brassicae. The response of the differential hosts suggests that there are several major CR genes in B. rapa. It is suggested that pyramiding CR genes would be useful in breeding CR cultivars that can overcome the breakdown of the present CR cultivars of Chinese cabbage. 相似文献

Oleaginous microalga Scenedesmus obliquus SIT06 was selected as potential biodiesel feedstocks due to its high lipid content and suitable fatty acid composition for production of biodiesel with high oxidative stability and high cetane number. The important factors for cultivating microalgae in photoautotrophic mode were optimized through response surface methodology (RSM). The highest microalgal biomass obtained was 1.99?±?0.12 g L?1 with a high lipid content of 40.86?±?0.32%. To simplify harvesting process of microalgal cells, pellet-forming filamentous fungi were inoculated into the late log-phase of microalgae culture. Among the fungi tested, Cunninghamella echinulata TPU 4652 most effectively harvested the microalgal cells with the highest flocculation efficiency of 92.7%. Moreover, the biomass and lipids of microalgae-fungi pellets were as high as 4.45?±?0.06 and 1.21?±?0.08 g L?1, respectively. The extracted lipids were mainly composed of C16:0, C18:0, and C18:1, and their estimated fuel properties meet with the international standards indicating their potential use as biodiesel feedstocks. This study has shown the strategies not only to simplify the harvesting process but also to increase the lipid yield and tailor the lipid composition. 相似文献

The three-spot wrasse (Halichoeres trimaculatus), which inhabits the coral reefs of Okinawa, changes sex from female to male. Sex change in this species is controlled by a social system. Oocytes disappear completely from the ovary, and male germ cells and somatic cells comprising testicular tissue arise a new during the sex change process. However, little is known of the fate and origin of the gonadal tissue-forming cells during sex change. In particular, the fate of ovarian somatic cells has not been determined, although the ovarian tissue regresses histologically. To approach this question, we analyzed apoptosis and cell proliferation in the sex-changing gonads. Unexpectedly, we found that few apoptotic somatic cells were present during sex change, suggesting that ovarian somatic cells might survive during the regression of the ovarian tissue. On the other hand, cell proliferation was detected in many granulosa cells surrounding the degenerating oocytes, a few epithelial cells covering ovigerous lamella and a few somatic cells associated with gonial germ cells at an early stage of sex change. Then, we found that proliferative ovarian somatic cells remained in the gonads late in the sex change process. Based on these results, we concluded that some functional somatic cells of the ovary are reused as testicular somatic cells during the gonadal sex change in the three-spot wrasse. 相似文献

Intravascular accumulation of blood cells after brain ischemia-reperfusion can cause obstruction of cerebral blood flow and tissue hypoxia/ischemia as a consequence. In the present study, we examined temporal and topographic changes of tissue hypoxia/ischemia after occlusion of the middle cerebral artery (MCA) for 60 min in rats with immunohistochemical staining for hypoxia (2-nitroimidazole hypoxia marker: hypoxyprobe-1 adducts). Our results showed that tissue hypoxia expressed as positive staining for hypoxyprobe-1 adducts preceded neuronal degeneration. Platelets and granulocytes were detected close to the hypoxyprobe-1 adducts positive area. These results suggested that the hypoxic environment could persist even after reperfusion of MCA, because of vascular obstruction with accumulation of platelets and granulocytes. 相似文献

The objective of this experiment was to investigate whether the motility parameters and acrosome integrity of goat ejaculated spermatozoa are affected by collecting semen into tubes containing an extender, and thereby determine the significance of reducing contact between seminal plasma and the sperm membrane at ejaculation. Semen were collected from three goats into tubes containing 0, 1 or 10 ml extender, or collected into tubes containing 10 ml extender supplemented with 0.1, 1 or 5% BSA. Sperm motion parameters were evaluated immediately after collection, after washing, and during a 3-h thermal resistance test. Acrosome integrity was assessed using FITC-PNA staining. Semen collection into tubes containing 10 ml extender produced higher sperm motility, progressive motility, and acrosome integrity than that using a smaller volume of extender. Furthermore, collection into 5% BSA-containing extender exhibited higher sperm characteristics and maintained high sperm motility and progressive motility throughout incubation. In conclusion, semen collection into tubes with a large volume of extender, especially extender containing higher concentrations of BSA, improved the quality of ejaculated spermatozoa, strongly suggesting that the in vitro functional characteristics of the spermatozoa were abruptly modified by flash sperm contact with accessory sex gland fluid at ejaculation. 相似文献

Polymorphism of the PrP gene is a primary factor influencing susceptibility and incubation period in natural and experimental scrapie in sheep and goats. Polymorphisms of the caprine PrP gene in Japan were examined in 118 goats. Eight allelic variants and 19 genotypes were obtained. Amino acid polymorphisms were observed at 7 codons: 102, 142, 143, 240, 127, 146 and 211 (the latter 3 are novel polymorphisms). The polymorphisms at codons 142M and 143R, which are associated with the resistance to scrapie, were relatively rare in the present study. Thus, the present results provide information about the caprine PrP gene that may be useful for assessing the risk of goat scrapie. 相似文献
