  • GA3ox genes can transform several inactive gibberellin to the physiological active in plant gibberellin anabolism. VvGA3ox gene families were cloned from seed(cv. Pinot Noir)and seedless(cv. Thompson Seedless)grape varieties. We performed gene structure analysis,chromosome mapping analysis and phylogenetic analysis,and also investigated expression patterns of VvGA3ox genes in various grape organs and at different stages of ovule development. In this study,3 GA3ox genes(VvGA3ox1–VvGA3ox3)were identified in the grape genome. These 3 genes all contain two extrons and one intron  whose cDNA sequence length was 1 313,1 225 and 1 480 bp,respectively. Expression analysis of the grape VvGA3ox genes in various organs demonstrated that VvGA3ox1 exhibited a low level in ovule tissue which expressed a high level in root tissue,while VvGA3ox2 and VvGA3ox3 exhibited a higher level in flower and ovule tissues. The expression patterns of VvGA3ox genes were distinct during ovule development,VvGA3ox1 showed expression that up-regulated at the 30 DAF(day after full-bloom)and then down-regulated in cv. Pinot Noir and cv. Thompson Seedless grape. Expression of VvGA3ox2 in cv. Pinot Noir significantly up-regulated at the 20–30 DAF and down-regulated later,while the ovule expression in cv. Thompson Seedless was slowly down-regulated and then up-regulated. Expression of VvGA3ox2 in cv. Pinot Noir was gradually down-regulated. However,the expression in cv. Thompson Seedless was up-regulated at the 10–15 DAF and then down-regulated to the level that in cv. Pinot Noir. This research shows that VvGA3ox genes exist significant differences between seedless and seed varieties,which may be related to grape seedlessness.

  • Nine plasma membrane aquaporin genes named VhPIPs were cloned from wild Vitis quinquangularis and their bioinformatics features and tissue specificity expressions were studied in order to study the structural features of aquaporin gene in wild grape and its role in the process of drought resistance. Amino acid sequence analysis showed that these 9 VhPIP genes can be divided into 2 groupsPIP1 and PIP2,signal sequence SGGHINPAVT contain MIP protein family conserved and 2 NPA(Asn-Pro-Ala)units,every protein is stable and hydrophobic,and each VhPIP contains 6 trans membrane domains. The real-time RT-PCR result showed they expressed in roots,stems and leaves. And VhPIP1;1VhPIP1;2VhPIP1;4VhPIP2;1VhPIP2;2 and VhPIP2;4 had higher expression level in the roots of ‘Huaxi-9than other tissues,they may be closely related to the regulation of root water transportation. VhPIP1;5 and VhPIP2;3 had the highest expression level in leaves,these 2 genes may be mainly related to  the water transportation and the transpiration of leaf. The expression level of VhPIP1;3 had no significance in roots,stems and leaves. Compared to the expression of other genes,VhPIP1;1 and VhPIP2;4 had the highest expression in roots,which indicated that they may play a greater role in the water transportation.

  • ACC oxidase is one of the key rate-limiting enzymes which functioned in the biosynthesis of ethylene. An ACO gene designated as VvACO1 was cloned from leaves in grape by RT-PCR. The open reading frame of VvACO1 was 957 bp encoding 318 amino acids. The VvACO1 protein contained typical conserved domain with leucine zipper,Fe2+ and ascorbate binding motif. The sequences of VvACO1 shared similarity of 87% and 84% with the ACOs from tobacco and tomato respectively. The transcriptional level of VvACO1 was different in different tissues or organs of grape and up-regulated by ethephon. Over-expression of VvACO1 in tomato showed earlier flowering and fruit ripening. Meanwhile,transgenic Arabidopsis showed that over-expression of VvACO1 caused decreased photosynthetic efficiency and Chl. a fluorescence intensity.

  • In order to provide scientific evidence of application in grown grass,combining with cultivating hairy vetch,the authors measured the change of soil organic,nutrition,and enzyme in plough layer,which was classified by cultivated-hairy vetch,grown-grass for 2,4 and 6 years,and the clean-cultivated apple orchard. The result showed that the plough layer,combined with hairy vetch and grown grass for 2,4 and 6 years,were higher than the control in aspects of soil organic matter,total N,available P and K,the microbial respiration and activity,and the number of active microbes. There were relatively differences in enzymes. The activity of the catalase was apparently lower than the control in rown grass for 2 years,comparing with grown grass for 4 years and grown grass for 6 years. The activities of phosphatase,urease and sucrose were notably higher than the control,yet rare individuals were indistinct. The carbon utilization capacity was lower than the control,including most individuals were not notable. However,other two types of soil were higher than the control in the carbon utilization capacity,and the difference reached the significant level or the super significant level. The results indicated that the method of planting hairy vetch and growing grass could help improve the soil fertility.

  • Strain L-30,with effective inhibitory activity against Botrytis cinerea and 10 other postharvest fruit diseases,was selected from rhizosphere of pear orchard by dual-culture method. The morphological characters and 16S rDNA sequence analysis were used to identify the selected strain. The mechanisms involved in the biocontrol process of strain L-30 against B. cinerea were also investigated. Results showed that the control efficacy of strain L-30 against pear gray mold reached 40% on ‘Huangguan’pears. Based on morphological characters and 16S rDNA sequence analysis,L-30 was identified as Streptomyces polychromogenes. The supernatant of strain L-30’s fermentation could effectively reduce the germination of B. cinerea spores,the inhibitory efficiency of its 100-fold dilution reached 50.14%. In addition,S. polychromogenes L-30 could significantly induce the resistance of‘Huangguan’pear against pear gray mold,and also increase the activities of peroxidase(POD),superoxide dismutase(SOD),catalase(CAT)and phenylalanine ammonia lyase(PAL).

  • Twenty-one flowering time genes were found in Arabidopsis. To search out the corresponding homologous genes in nectarine,NCBI blast analysis was carried out. Twenty-one genes were classified into two groups of flowering promotor or inhibitor based on mutatant phenotype and annotation functions in Arabidopsis. We use seven-year-old‘Shuguang’nectarine flower buds as material and then define the period of dormancy including dormancy induction period,endo-dormancy and dormancy-release based on germination rate which measured by hydroponics. The results showed that the average weight per bud was a trend of steady in dormancy induction period and endo-dormancy and  then suddenly increased to 0.12 g after dormancy-release. The average weight per bud added up to maximum equal to 0.15 g in next year February 9. The water content of flower bud began to slowly fall from endo-dormancy to dormancy-release and reached the lowest level with the water content of 39% in dormancy-release. Later the water content of flower bud has risen steadily to 53%. Clustering analysis found that two types of gene expression pattern in dormancy process and the effect of genes on the flowering does not exist inevitable correlation. Furthermore,the gene expression patterns of the nectarine flower buds were analyzed during the period of dormancy(endo-dormancy and dormancy-release)by RT-PCR and the results were as follows. The expression of PpFT-like and PpCO-like were gradually increased,so they may be associated with chilling requirement accumulation. In addition,the expression of PpLSD1-like,PpFCA-like,PpDDL-like,PpFY-like,PpCCT-like,PpBBX3-like,PpELF8-like,PpAMP1-like,PpHUA2-like and PpHUB1-like was a trend of reduce after rising first and reach the highest level in dormancy-release which consist end with the process of flower bud dormancy-release. The results speculated that they may be involved in dormancy-release of the flower bud.

  • Papaya is a dioeciously herbaceous plant. Identification of flower-related genes gives us an opportunity to reveal the regulation mechanism in flowering and to improve the setting rate in papaya. In this study,the genome database of papaya was used to clone the CpFT1 gene and promoter sequences. The 525 bp CpFT1 gene sequence and 1 500 bp promoter sequence were obtained by PCR method. Sequence analysis showed that the CpFT1 gene has a 525 bp open reading frame(ORF)encoding 174 amino acids. The phylogenetic tree showed that CpFT1 and Fagus crenata FT are the closest in molecular evolution distance. Subcellular localization assays showed that the CpFT1 protein was located in the nucleus. Bioinformatics analysis showed that there were abscisic acid,gibberellin,salicylic acid and other responsive cis-acting elements in the CpFT1 promoter sequence. The expressions of CpFT1 gene in 3 different sex types of flowers,4 different flower developmental stages and various hormone treatments have been revealed by qRT-PCR method. In conclusion,the results indicate that the hormones including  abscisic acid and salicylic acid are involved in the regulation of the CpFT1 gene expression.

  • Wild type RR and ABA deletion mutant(sit)were used to elucidate the mechanism by which miRNAs response to abiotic stress mechanism in tomato(Lycopersicon esculentum L.)leaf. The expression of 6 miRNAs(miR160miR162miR166miR1919miR397 and miR6026)and their target mRNAs were investigated by quantitative real-time PCR(qRT-PCR)technology. The results show that under 15 (night temperature),the ABA content of sit and RR were 60 ng · g-1 and 120 ng · g-1 respectively,while the opening of guard cells and stomata of sit were significantly greater than RR. The expression of all miRNAs decreased in sit plants compared to those of the RR plants treatment. And all their target mRNAs up-regulated other than miR1919. All miRNAs expression in sit increased significantly after 12 h(6 ℃). When the sit was sprayedwith 80 mg · L-1 ABA,the expressions of miR162miR166miR1919 and miR397 were significantly higher than that with 0 mg · L-1 ABA. These results suggested that miR160miR162 and miR6026 play an important role in response to low night temperature stress by ABA-dependent signal pathway.

  • In this study,tall fescue EST-SSR markers were developed using two ways of transferring from other crops and designing from EST sequences of tall fescue. Genetic diversity of tall fescue was analysed by these markers. Transferability of 732 EST-SSRs primer pairs from wheat,barley,maize, sorghum and rice was analysed in tall fescue. Of which,406(55.46%)primer pairs showed effective amplification. Besides,in the 63 853 tall fescue EST sequences from GenBank/dbEST,420 EST sequences(0.658%)containing SSRs were found. Among these SSRs of tall fescue,trinucleotide motifs appeared to be the most abundant SSRs(43.33%),followed by dinucleotide(33.57%). For the motifs of dinucleotide and trinucleotide,CT/GA(16.90%)and CAG/GTC(10.63%)were the most abundant motif respectively. One hundred and eight primer pairs were designed by Primer 5.0 software and synthesized by Shanghai Sunny Company. PCR analysis showed that,92 primer pairs had stable and distinctive bands in tall fescue. From EST-SSRs of 5 crops(406)and tall fescue(92),81 EST-SSR primers were selected randomly to detect the polymorphism in the 12 tall fescue cultivars(strain),and 79 primer pairs(97.53%)showed polymorphism with totally 133 alleles,1.68 alleles per primer in average. The PIC(Polymorphism information contents)for each polymorphic primer varied from 0.14 to 0.66,with an average of 0.48. Clustering analysis indicated that the 12 tall fescue cultivars were clustered into 5 groups based on 0.61 of GS. GroupⅠincludes Explosiveness and Fawn,group Ⅱ includes Powerful,Plantation and Triple A,group Ⅲ includes Kochis 3 and Lexus,group Ⅳ includes Athena 2,Jaguar 3,Exerion and TF160,group Ⅴ includes Fireway.

  • To study the structure,function and expression patterns of CDPK(calcium-dependent protein kinase)genes in Dendrobium officinale Kimura et Migo,cDNA sequences were cloned from Dendrobium officinale by RACE and RT-PCR. The full length of cDNA sequences of DoCDPK1 and DoCDPK2 geneswere 1 863 bp and 1 729 bp which the ORF(open reading frames)were 1 539 bp and 1 536 bp encoded 512 and 511 amino acids,respectively. And DoCDPK1 and DoCDPK2 proteins were hydrophilic and stable,whose secondary structures were made up of α-helix and random coil. The qRT-PCR analysis showed that DoCDPK1 and DoCDPK2 genes mainly expressed in leaves. The expression of DoCDPK1 and DoCDPK2 genes increased under low temperature and NaCl. However,the expression of DoCDPK1 and DoCDPK2 genes showed different expression patterns under the treatment of ABA. We speculated that DoCDPK genes took part in the abiotic stress like cold stress. The results will lay the foundation of further study of the specific regulation mechanism and relationship with other signaling pathways.

  • Somatic embryo induction and morphology as well as histology identification were carried on Hippeastrum vittatum‘Red Lion’by the way of scales explant. The results showed that the optimum medium for embryonic callus induction was MS + 2 mg · L-1 BA + 1 mg · L-1 NAA + 2 mg · L-1 TDZ + 30 g · L-1 sucrose,and the rate of embryonic callus induction reached to 90.63%. However,there was no embryonic callus obtained in medium without TDZ. On PGR-free medium,somatic embryos developed after 15 days and plantlets with shoot and roots formed after 30 days. There were 6 types of callus:white loose callus,transparent fluffy callus,transparent compact callus,light brown crisp callus and jade green crisp callus,for embryonic callus and light brown compact callus,for non-embryonic callus. Global embryos,heart-shaped embryos and club-shaped embryos were observed in the development process of somatic embryo.

  • Headspace solid phase microextraction combined with gas chromatography–mass spectrometry(HS–SPME–GC–MS)was used to analyze the volatile components in the flowers of Cymbidium goeringii and Cymbidium faberi,which were collected from different locations in Qinling Mountains. The results showed there are more than 40 kinds of volatile components in the flowers of C. goeringii. The main components consist of 3-ethyl-2-methyl-1,3-hexadiene,(E)-2-octenal,2-nonenal and so on. C. goeringii in different habitats have analogous compositions. The aromas in the flowers of C. goeringii only have a few categories,and most of the C. goeringii is without smelling fragrance in flowers. There are more than 50 kinds of volatile components in (E)-3,7,11-trimethyl-1,6,10-dodecatrien-3-olthe flowers of C. faberi. The main components consist of,doconexent,and [1à,2à(Z)]-cyclopentaneacetic acid-3-oxo-2-(2-pentenyl)-methyl ester and so on. Most of the volatile components in the flowers of C. faberi smell fragrant,making C. faberi having richer aromas than C. goeringii in flowers. Thus the compositions of volatile components in C. faberi flowers are more complex and have more aromatic categories than C. goeringii.

  • A method for analysis of glucosinolates in cruciferous vegetable was developed by using UHPLC–Triple–TOF–MS. Vegetable samples were extracted using 70% methanol and injected after concentration. UPLC BEH C18 column was selected with acetonitrile–water(both 0.1% formic acid)as mobile phase. Chromatographic separation was achieved under gradient elution in 10 min. In ESI negative ion mode,TOF–MS scan–IDA–Product ion scan was performed to acquire both MS and MS/MS information from one injection. Based on high resolution TOF–MS,accurate masses of molecular ions and fragment ions were obtained for high accuracy-identification. This method was applied to the seeds of Yellow Sarson(Brassica rapa ssp. trillocularis)and the leaves of kale(Brassica oleracea). Finally,24 and 15 glucosinolates were analyzed in the seeds and leaves,respectively. The results demonstrated that this method has distinct advantages of high sensitivity,good accuracy and high throughput,which is suitable for analysis of glucosinolates in cruciferous vegetables.
