    The rapid developments of DNA array and next generation sequencing technologies had greatly promoted molecular biology techniques to be used in various fields. However, the limited quantity and quality of sample DNA may affect large scale genetic analyses. To overcome these problems, the whole genome amplification(WGA)technology was employed to amplify trace amounts of genomic DNA to sufficient quantity to meet the requirements of high throughput analyses. The highly efficient and reliable WGA methods also helped to realize large scale of genetic analyses based on even single cell. Moreover, as the single cell level research continues, more efficient WGA approaches were developed. This paper summarized the general WGA methods frequently used before and newly developed methods on basic principle level as well as the advantages and disadvantages of each method, which helped to make good use of the powerful WGA techniques.

    The calcium ion(Ca2+)is known as a key second messenger in plants, intracellular Ca2+ signals are relayed to downstream(transcription factors, NADPH oxidases genes)via different calcium sensor proteins(CaMs, CaMLs, CBLs, CDPKs), which further causes expression of related genes and responses to abiotic and biotic stresses. Calcium-dependent protein kinases(CDPKs)which are Ser/The protein kinases found in plants and some protozoa, play crucial roles in Ca2+-mediated signaling pathways. CDPKs are encoded by multigene families and are divided into four subgroups. CDPKs exhibit overlapping and distinct expression patterns, sub-cellular localizations, substrate specificities and redundancy and/or diversity functions. Here we review the recent advances on the structural characteristics, expression patterns, localizations, regulations substrates both in vivo and in vitro, inhibitors and functions in response to abiotic and biotic stresses of CDPKs in order to shed light on the functions and regulatory mechanisms.

    Cotton plant architecture is closely related to cultivation mode,mechanical collection efficiency and yield. Fruit branch angle(FBA)is one of the key factors that determine cotton plant architecture. Exploring the genetic characteristics on FBA of upland cotton(Gossyp-ium hirsutum)will provide important guidance for genetic breeding of cotton plant architecture. In this study,a natural population composed of 418 accessions of upland cotton from different regions,were used as the research object. Then,measuring the FBA with digital display protractor,we performed the variability and correlation analysis of FBA in different positions of cotton main stem,as well as the phenotypic description and statistical analysis of FBA of natural populations in different ecological environments. Simultaneously,the combined populations four generations(P1,P2,F1 and F2)constructed by parents with extremely different fruit branch angles were selected as the research objects,the multi-generation joint genetic analysis of FBA phenotypic traits of the four generations was carried out,and the genetic effect and heritability of major genes were estimated using the mixed genetic model of major gene plus polygenes of plant quantitative traits. Phenotypic identification analysis showed that the coefficient of variation for FBA in the natural population of upland cotton was relatively small,and the average coefficient of variation under the four environments was 5.63%. Furthermore,the middle fruit branch(the 4th-6th position from the base)angles best represented the level of FBA of the whole cotton plant. Additionally,mixed genetic model for major gene plus polygene demonstrated that the optimal model for controlling FBA was two major genes with equal additive effect,the additive effect value of major gene was 3.65,and the heritability was 90.22%. These results revealed that the FBA of upland cotton was mainly controlled by the main gene,and the heritability of the main gene was high. The above results are conducive to clarifying the genetic law of FBA of upland cotton,which is of important practical significance for molecular genetic analysis of FBA and plant architecture genetic breeding of upland cotton.

    Genome wide association study(GWAS)is about screening for high-density molecular markers in certain populations in the range of the whole genome, then analyzing the correlations between the data of the molecular markers and the phenotypic traits. GWAS opened up a new chapter in genomic and genetic research, enabling linking genomics and genetics in unprecedented scale. GWAS is mainly applied in the analysis of complex traits of human diseases, leading to the identification of a number of genetic variants related to complex diseases and quantitative traits in human, hence it is to become one of the key approaches for human genomics. Application of GWAS in plant genomics just began, yet it has shown great advantages. It is becoming a research trend in plant genomics to use GWAS to discover genes related to complex quantitative traits to guide breeding programs. However, there exist some problems in GWAS, which are not as simple as expected. This review summarizes the current knowledge on GWAS with special emphasis on its applications in human and plant genomes and highlights its potential areas for future research.

    The main steps of gene expression in an organism include transcription and protein synthesis,mRNA is an intermediate product of gene expression,and protein is the executive of gene function. For understanding the specific regulatory process of gene expression,the mRNA and protein should be synchronously monitored,then transcriptome and proteome data are compared,and thus both may be linked while an integrated analysis is conducted at the transcriptional and protein levels. In theory,the correlation between transcriptome and proteome data obtained from the same growth conditions and the cells,tissues or organs of the same state should be high;however,a lot of literature reported the irrelevant or negative correlations of expression trend between transcriptome and proteome data. Here we reviewed the principles and features of transcriptome and proteome sequencing and the advantages of transcriptome and proteome integrated analysis,as well as its applications in animal,plant and microbial. Meanwhile,we analyzed the reasons that might cause inconsistence of gene expression trends between transcriptional and protein levels,providing a reference for future study on molecular biology and multi-omics analysis.
