Adverse conditions, including drought, salinity and extreme temperatures, often restrict the growth and development of plants. In plants, there exist a group of highly hydrophilic proteins, known as LEA(late embryogenesis abundant)proteins, which generally accumulate at the last stage of embryogenesis under natural conditions. It has a strong resistance to various abiotic stresses, and can respond to drought, cold, high salt and ABA signals. LEA proteins can maintain normal metabolic reactions of plants by maintaining cellular osmotic pressure, protecting the cell membrane structure and functioning as a molecular chaperone to protect other proteins. In this paper, the classification, structure, stress tolerance mechanisms of LEA protein and its application in improvement of stress tolerance in plant were reviewed.

Edible mushrooms have been globally consumed for centuries to promote human health, prevent and treat human diseases. In different types of edible mushrooms, there are distinct bioactive compounds, mainly consisted of polysaccharide, protein, terpenoids, alkaloids and others substances. They possess many medicinal effects such as anti-cancer, anti-cardiovascular diseases, and anti-diabetes, etc. Mushroom bioactive constituents have been found to have anti-cancer effects against several major cancer types. It is reported that edible mushrooms exert an anti-cancer effect through regulating the expression level of relevant factors in cell signaling pathway, which leads to inhibition of cell proliferation and induction of cellular apoptosis. These findings may provide theoretical basis for utilizing edible mushrooms as potential natural and non-toxic antitumor agents. This paper provided a brief review on the research progress in antitumor mechanism of different bioactive compounds in edible mushrooms..

RNA interference as a potent gene silencing approach plays important parts in gene regulation, functional study and gene therapy. The small interfering RNA expression vector achieves a sustainable, stable and controllable application of the RNAi technology, and becomes a promising way for gene silencing. Although the interfering RNA expression vector has progressed to the second generation, and many commercial products were availabe, the discrepancies among efficiency, safety and controllability of these vectors still exist. The development of the interfering RNA expression vector seems get into a lag phase. Therefore, this article analysed the history and development of these small interference RNA expression vectors on the basis of their functional blocks, providing a theoretical fundation for the vector’s optimization and selection.

Jasmonate ZIM-domain(JAZ)proteins are a group of plant-specific transcription factors, which have important function in plant growing development and abiotic stress by inhibiting the expression of genes associated with JA regulation. In this study, a novel JAZ family gene, named
ZmJAZ4
, was isolated from maize(
Zea mays
L.)inbred lines B73. The
ZmJAZ4
cDNA has a total length of 651 bp and encodes a protein of 216 amino acids with a molecular weight of about 23.1 kD and a isoelectric points of 10.78, belonging to the basic protein. Real-time RT-PCR showed that
ZmJAZ4
was mainly expressed in shoot apex meristem, tassel, developing seeds and endosperm. Phylogenetic analysis revealed that ZmJAZ4 was related to AtJAZ10 from
Arabidopsis
. Subcellular localization experiment showed that ZmJAZ4 was localized to the nucleus. ZmJAZ4 possessed no transcriptional activating activity in yeast cells. Various treatments were performed to detect the expression level of ZmJAZ4 in response to phytohormones or abiotic stresses. The transcripts of
ZmJAZ4
was induced by PEG, NaCl, SA, GA and ABA treatment in shoots and that was induced by ABA and GA in roots. The above results showed that
ZmJAZ4
may be an important transcriptional regulator, which participates in many hormones signaling pathways and abiotic stress.

The sugarcane yield can be increased by planting disease-free sugarcane seedlings. However, the physiological and molecular mechanisms of this yield increasing are still not clear now. Monosaccharide transporters are one type of key regulatory proteins involved in carbon accumulation and partitioning processes, and play an important role in plants defense process. The differential expression of three monosaccharide transporter genes(
SGT1
,
SGT2
and
PST2a
)in disease-free and untreated sugarcane plants was studied to clarify the potential function of these genes on sugarcane yields. The expression levels of
SGT1
,
SGT2
and
PST2a
in leaves of disease-free plants at seedling and tillering stages were obviously higher than untreated plants. Furthermore, the expression levels of these genes were increased in immature internodes of disease-free plants at elongation and mature stages, but there were no difference in mature internodes. The sugarcane leaves(at seedling and tillering stages)and the immature internodes(at elongation and mature stages)grow rapidly and demand for more monosaccharide to provide energy and the precursor of biosynthesis. The up-regulations of these monosaccharide transporter genes might accelerate the growth and biomass accumulation of disease-free sugarcane plants by increasing the transporting and uptake of monosaccharide.

In order to explore the application of fatty acid composition in taxonomy of
Bacillus
species, the fatty acid constitutions of 25 strains were detected by Microbial Identification System(MIDI). The clusters of fatty acid profiles and 16S rRNA gene sequences were analyzed by SPPS16.0 and Mega4, respectively. The results showed that phylogeny analysis based on the fatty acid biomarkers could not only fully reflect the relationships among the
Bacillus
species, but also group the
Bacillus
species according to the biological characteristics. However, 16S rRNA phylogeny only perfectly showed the relationships among the species. For example, four species growing well under the alkaline conditions and three species round spore-forming were clustered together, respectively. Result showed that
Bacillus
species can be clustered together not only according to the related ship, but also classified by the biological characteristics.

This article carried out the recombinant expression of
Rhizopus chinensis
lipase(RCL)gene in
Aspergillus niger
. Promoter of Pgpd from
A. niger
and RCL-TtrpC fusing fragment were respectively obtained by PCR and further cloned to plasmid pCHAMBIA2302 to generate the RCL over-expression vector pCHAMBIA2302∷Pgpd-RCL-TtrpC. The resulting vector was introduced into
Agrobacterium tumefaciens
EHA105, and then transformed into
A. niger
through the mediation of
A. tumefaciens
. Seven randomly selected transformants were analyzed by PCR and Southern blot. As a result, all the transformants were found to be positive. Then, the seven transformants were subjected to fermentation and lipase assay, and the results showed that all the transformants secreted recombinant RCL, among which transformant T6 produced the highest lipase specific activity, reaching up to approximately 71 U/mL. The fermentation broth was further analyzed by SDS-PAGE, which revealed the molecular weight of the recombinant RCL was 37 kD.

Aspergillus niger
is the major industrial strain for citric acid production. In spite of many successes of modern molecular biology approaches in engineering laboratory or protein-producing strains of
A. niger
, there is few positive report on its application for citric acid industrial strains mainly due to the hard-to-transform nature of these strains. In this study, the protoplast-PEG mediated genetic transformation system for citric acid industrial strain was extensively studied, suggesting an optimized protocol for protoplast preparation, regeneration and DNA transformation. The concentration of protoplasts reached up to 10
6
/mL by lysing younger mycelia for 2.5 h after 48 h incubation of a proper amount of conidia spores in enrichment medium. The optimal lysing enzyme mixtures comprised of 1.5% lysing enzyme, 0.5% snail enzyme and 0.2% lysozyme. Concentration of protoplast influenced the protoplast-PEG mediated transformation efficiency, which reached the maximal when the concentration of protoplast was higher than 10
6
/mL. The genetic transformation system established in this study should pave the way to molecular biology study of the citric acid hyper-producing strains, for further understanding its acid-tolerant physiology and for rational design of the industrial strain for further improvement of the citric acid production process as well as creation of new organic acid-producing cell factories.

The application of the specificity of GABA receptor subunits in drug screening and drug development got widely attention recently, of which three function subunits α1, β2 and γ2 studied deeply. Furthermore,
Carassais auratus gibebiol
as its good growth and reproduction had been widely farmed in china. In the present study, we cloned and characterized GABA A receptor γ2 subunit full-length gene. The full-length
Carassais auratus gibebiol
GABA A receptor γ2 subunit cDNA was 2 763 bp in length, contained a 1437 bp open reading frame(ORF), and encoded 477 amino acids which constituting a 55.3 kD protein molecule with an isoelectric point of 9.13. The γ2 subunit protein was hydrophilic. The protein sequence had one signal peptide, consisting of 35 amino acid residue. The sequence of amino acids contained four transmembrane regions, which length of 23,20,23 and 23 aa, involving in electronic transfer catalysis between the internal and external membrane. We found three N-glycosylation sites, two O- glycosylation sites and an extracellular domain which had obvious ligand-gated ion channels’ characteristics. Sequence comparison revealed that the similarity of the γ2 subunit protein all above 89% with other aquatic animals showed that it belongs to GABA A receptor subunits’ family. We conducted a phylogenetic analysis using the neighbor joining(NJ)method. The evolutionary tree showed that the γ2 subunit protein was clustered with the zebra fish which indicated that they are the two most closely related species.

The remarkable individual size differences of half-smooth tongue(
Cynoglossus semilavi.
)between female and male fishes exist. However, the lower ratio of female in cultured populations arise from sex reversal of the females leads to lower production efficiency. In sex-determination of some fishes and amphibians, sex reversal is interesting biology question and its molecular genetic mechanisms are rarely explored. In this study, 10 half-sib families are set up by utilizing two types of male parents:genetically males and pseudo males which are genetically females. The results showed that the females were all reversed into physiologically male fishes in two families with pseudo male parent. In the other 8 families with normal male parent, the ratio of sex reversal in individual populations presents continuous distribution, which fits for features of QTLs(Quantitative Trait Loci)typically;the heredity of sex reversal is lower, only 0.058. All of these results showed that, the pseudo males as parents, which demonstrate full paternal-effects, the female progenies were all reversed into pseudo males;interfamily selection for improving the genetic advances of sex ratio or genetic evaluation of sex reversal by using genetic markers are advantageous over intrafamily selection for lower heredity of sex-reversal;the continuous distribution of ratio of sex reversal implies the sex-determination for half-smooth tongue is depended on the interactions among multiple QTLs.

Neurexophilin 1 is the differentially expressed gene at the chicken utero-vaginal junction. According to the mRNA sequence of chicken
nxph1
and codon bias of
Pichia pastoris
, the modified DNA sequence for chicken
nxph1
which encodes the same amino acid sequence as that of chicken nxph1were synthesized. Specific primers were designed to amplify part of the synthesized DNA sequence whose expression product has no signal peptide. The two sequences were inserted into pPICZαA vector to construct the recombinant pPICZαA/
nxph1
and pPICZαA/△
nxph1
(without signal peptide), and then the recombinant plasmids were transfected into
Pichia pastoris
GS115 by electroporation. The positive recombinant strains were inducted to express protein by addition of 1 % methanol. The expression protein was displayed on the Tricine-SDS- PAGE electrophoresis and Western blot. The result showed that chicken NXPH1 protein and △NXPH1 protein were successfully expressed, and the molecular weight of the protein was approximately 29 kD, which provided foundations for analyzing functions of NXPH1 in chicken reproductive tract.
