Circular RNA（circRNA）is a novel class of endogenous non-coding RNAs（ncRNA）with closed loop structure and is formed by alternative splicing from a precursor RNA（pre-mRNA）. Prior studies have discovered that circRNA widely and very stably exists in all eukaryotes. At present，the research of circRNA has become a new hotspot in the field of RNA research. It is found that circRNA accounts for a large proportion in transcripts，and some of the expressions are even higher than other transcripts. CircRNA plays a regulating role in gene expression，and an essential role in the process of biological development，such as miRNA sponges，endogenous RNAs and biomarkers，as well as critical role in the diagnosis and treatment of diseases. Some studies have revealed that circRNAs play key roles in the development of some diseases，including atherosclerosis，nerve system disorders，diabetes and cancers. In this paper，we review the research progress of circular RNA，including the characteristics of circRNA，the formation process，the expression，the relationship between circRNA and disease，as well as the function of circRNA. Moreover，we discuss the significance and existing problems in studying circRNA.

Autophagy is closely implicated in plant growth and development，as well as responses to environmental stimuli. ATG5 is one of the core factors involved in autophagosome assembly. Two wheat ATG5-encoding genes，TaATG5a and TaATG5b were cloned previously and are under deep functional study in our lab. In order to meet the need of specific antibodies in immunological methods used in further functional gene and protein study，a recombinant protein TaATG5a was acquired by vector construction，prokaryotic expression，and purification via the Ni-column affinity chromatography method，then the antiserum was prepared in rabbit immunization. The titer and specificity of the prepared antiserum were tested by the ELISA and Western blot assays. The results showed that the expression of TaATG5a cloned in vector pET30a was efficiently induced in Escherichia coli by IPTG，and gradually increased with the extension of IPTG induction time over 0 - 8 h. The apparent molecular weight of recombinant protein TaATG5a was close to its theoretical value. The purified recombinant protein was in high-purity that satisfied the requirements for antibody preparation. The prepared antiserum had a high titer of 1∶25 600 and specifically recognized TaATG5a in E. coli or wheat total protein. In addition，the ATG12-ATG5 in conjugated form，i.e.，the main form of wheat ATG5 in leaves，was also recognized by the prepared antiserum through Western blot assay.

This work is to study the full-length gene structural characteristics and encoded protein properties of α-farnesene synthase（MdAFS）from ‘White Winter Pearmain’ apple，and analyze the induced expression patterns of MdAFS gene. Bioinformatics software was used for analyzing the MdAFS gene and its encoded protein，secondary structure，and tertiary structure，then MEGA6.0 for constructing the phylogenetic trees with AFS from different species，and qRT-PCR for studying the expression pattern of MdAFS gene. The full-length of MdAFS gene（GenBank accession number：AY563622）was 1731 bp，contained the complete ORF，encoding 576 amino acids. The prediction analysis of secondary structure and tertiary structure showed that the protein was α-helix as the main parts of the mixed type proteins. The sequence similarity of α-farnesene synthase amino acid in different species was low，but the N-terminal RRx8W and C-terminal the H-α1loop of α-farnesene synthase was highly conservative. Abiotic stress and hormones induced MdAFS expression up-regulated，and more remarkably up-regulated expressions were observed in MV，ABA and MeJA treatments. In conclusion，α-farnesene synthase in ‘White Winter Pearmain’ apple has low similarity in amino acid sequence，but similar protein 3D structure. α-farnesene synthase presents monoterpene synthases characteristics in the protein structure and function. It is revealed that the abiotic stress and hormonal signal induce the up-regulation expression of key enzyme MdAFS gene in the α-farnesene metabolic pathway in ‘White Winter Pearmain’ apple.

A large number of differentially expressed genes were obtained from transcriptome analysis of ‘Brazilian’ and ‘Formosana’ bananas infected by Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. cubense race 4（Foc4）at the flower bud differentiation stage. The expression variations of 10 disease-resistance related genes from diseased ‘Brazilian’ and ‘Formosana’ banana roots were detected by real-time quantitative PCR（qPCR）. The results showed that these 10 genes expressed in both ‘Brazilian’ and ‘Formosana’ at flower bud differentiation，but the expression levels of these genes varied. Compared with the control of ‘Brazilian’ banana，the expression levels of the nine genes（laccase-4（B），periplasmic beta-glucosidase precursor，glutathione-S-transferase Cla47，class III peroxidase 136 precursor，peroxidase N，similar to T-phylloplanin，snakin-1，putative chitinase，and ellulose synthase catalytic subunit 12）up-regulated except gene laccase-4（A）. Among them，the expression of peroxidase N significantly up-regulated，and the relative expression was 1 682 times as much as in ‘Brazilian’. These results suggested that 10 differentially expressed genes may be involved in defense responses against Foc4 at the flower bud differentiation stage of ‘Formosana’，which lay a foundation for the further study on molecular mechanisms of ‘Formosana’ defense against fusarium wilt.

In order to investigate the effects of nitrogen fertilizer on the expression of nifH gene of endophytic diazotrophs in sugarcane leaves，we carried out a field experiment with and without nitrogen fertilization，and used RT-PCR and Western blot technology to analyze the differences of nifH expression and the relative expression quantity of nitrogenase in 3 sugarcane varieties，GXB9，ROC22 and GT11. The results showed that the expressions of nifH gene in endogenous azotobacter were detected at gene and protein levels in the leaves of sugarcane growing in field both with nitrogen fertilization and without nitrogen fertilization. Nitrogen fertilization treatment inhibited or decreased the expression of nifH gene in nitrogen-fixing bacteria，but it was beneficial to the expression of nifH at the protein level. The relative expressions of the nifH gene in the leaves of three sugarcane cultivars were all higher under nitrogen application than the control without nitrogen application；especially，the difference was significant for cultivar ROC22.

For understanding the microbial community structure of soil rhizosphere with two typical diseases and clarifying the correlation between soil diseases and microbial diversity，high-throughput sequencing was applied to compare and analyze the microbial diversities of the rhizosphere with 2 typical diseases. As results，the population diversity and enrichment of bacteria in soil sample were the scab disease > CK > root-rot disease. While in fungi，the changes were more obvious，fungal diversity and enrichment in the soil with 2 diseases were higher than the control group. The species annotation showed that comparing with the control group，the bacterial species of different treatments were almost the same，but just the proportion of each were not identical. There were some specific fungal species which may be related to disease occurrence，and variation of proportion was significant，indicating that the changes of soil microbial structure affect the happening of the disease in a certain extent.

Transgenic technology is an important means to improve the essential yield and quality of peppermint（Mentha piperita L.）oil. An Agrobacterium tumefaciens-mediated transformation using bud peppermint stem was established，in order to solve the problems in adventitious bud induction of salinity-resistant peppermint leave，such as easy browning and difficult differentiation. The orthogonal test was carried out to screen the optimal concentration of A. tumefaciens，transformation time and co-culture time. The results showed that the effect of the three factors on transformation displayed as the transformation time（B）> bacterial concentration（A）> co-culture time（C）. The bacterial concentration OD600 = 0.8，the transformation time 15 min and the co-culture time 3 d proved to be the optimal transformation conditions. The optimal composition of transformants was screened to be 1/5MS + 0.5 g/L MES（2-（N-morpholino）ethanesulfonic acid）+ 1% glucose + 2% sucrose and PH 5.4. The transformation was conducted using different plant expression vectors，and the positive plants were detected by genomic PCR and GUS staining. And the results revealed that this transformation system was suitable for the transformation of many plant expression vectors，and the regenerated plants were easily obtained. This provides a new method and system for gene transformation of salinity-resistant peppermint.

The aims of this work are to analyze and compare the effects of different salt concentration（0-40‰）on the growth and biochemical characteristics of a freshwater algae Scenedesmus sp. incubated in small tubular bioreactors，and evaluate the industrialization potential of culturing this algae in seawater as well explore the adaptive mechanism at high salinity，which provides theoretical references for further study on seawater domestication. The growth of the microalgae，the content of protein，lipid and polysaccharide，and the composition of pigments and fatty acids were analyzed correspondingly by microscopic observation，Soxhlet extraction，Kjeldahl method，phenol sulfuric acid determination，gas chromatography technology，and HPLC. The results showed that cells grew bigger and naturally precipitated at high salinity，meaning that it can be harvested at low cost. The study also found that growth of Scenedesmus sp. was gradually inhibited with the increase of salinity，and completely inhibited at the salinity of 40‰；however，it still grew well at the salinity of 30‰ with biomass of 2.84 g/L，and higher protein content（95.40% higher than 0‰ group）with similar protein productivity as that by freshwater. Combined with the great cost reduction of producing protein at high salinity，culturing Scenedesmus sp. in seawater for protein resource is of high potential. Moreover，with the increase of salinity，Scenedesmus sp. tended to accumulate more β-carotene，astaxanthin，and even soluble sugar，which might be the key physiological basis of adapting salt-stress.

The present study is to clone and purify the outer membrane protein 34（Omp34）from Acinetobacter baumannii ATCC 19606，and to analyze its biological structure and effects on the apoptosis of HEK293 cells. First，the gene of outer membrane protein 34 of A. baumannii ATCC 19606 was amplified by PCR，it was cloned into the pET28a（+）vector to generate the pET28a（+）-Omp34 expression vector，and the vector was transformed into Escherichia coli BL21 for expression. Then，the recombinant protein was expressed by IPTG induction and purified by Ni-affinity chromatography. L-arginine and GSH/GSSG were added in the dialysis buffer to facilitate the Omp34 protein correct folding. The biological structure of Omp34 was predicted by bioinformatics. The secondary structure of the Omp34 was detected by circular dichroism（CD）.The apoptosis of HEK293 cells induced by Omp34 were measured by flow cytometry and Western blot. As results，the pET28a（+）-Omp34 recombinant expression vector was successfully constructed，the Omp34 was highly expressed in prokaryotic expression system，and the soluble protein was obtained by refolding. Bioinformatics predicted that Omp34 was beta barrel-shape. CD confirmed that the secondary structure of purified Omp34 was beta sheets，of which the α-helix，β-sheets，and β-turn，and random coil of the Omp34 were 12%，39%，22%，and 27%，respectively. The re-natured Omp34 was able to induce the apoptosis of HEK293 cells. In summary，the Omp34 of A. baumannii can be expressed by molecular cloning technology. Moreover，its secondary structure was analyzed and it is demonstrated that Omp34 can lead to apoptosis of HEK293 cells. This work provides a basis for further study of the biological functions and antibiotic resistance mechanism of A. baumannii Omp34.

C-type lysozyme is one of various lysozymes in different tissues of all organisms，and is a key immune protein in cells and possesses stable structure and excellent bacteriostatic activity. Thus，it is considered to be promising food preservative and feed additives. In order to develop fish C-type lysozyme，the present study established a preparation method of channel catfish（Ictalurus punctatus）C-type lysozyme，based on Pichia pastoris expression system. A cDNA fragment（cflyC）added with the Xho I and Xba I restriction sites at 5 ‘and3' ends respectively，encoding the C-type lysozyme of channel catfish，was obtained by PCR. This cDNA encoded a peptide consisting of 127 amino acids. The cflyC fragment was ligated to pPICZαA vector，and a recombinant expression vector pPICZαA-cflyC was constructed，and transformed into competent Pichia pastoris X-33. The yeast transformants containing multi-copy gene insertions were screened using zeocin in different concentrations and PCR identification. The target protein was induced for 144 h with 0.5% methanol at pH 6.0，29℃，and 250 r/min，and the expression product was purified by immobilized metal affinity chromatography（IMAC）. Tricine-SDS-PAGE analysis showed that molecular mass of the purified recombinant protein was about 15.1 kD. MALDI-TOF-TOF analysis demonstrated that it was the expected recombinant cflyC. Folin-reagent method indicated that the expression yield of recombinant cflyC was 2.75 mg/L. Agar well diffusion and activity assays proved that the recombinant cflyC presented antibacterial activity against Bacillus subtilis. The present study firstly realized the recombinant DNA expression of the channel catfish C-type lysozyme in P. pastoris，which provides key basis for its large-scale preparation.

Expressions of 4 disease-resistant genes（heat shock protein70（HSP70），Se-GPx，CAT，and SOD）from 4 selected lines（A，B，C，and D）of Macrobrachium rosenbergii were analyzed with real-time PCR. Infected with Vibrio alginolyticus，the disease-resistant abilities of the 4 selected lines were compared based on the survival rates of 4 selected lines and the expression differences ofHSP70，Se-GPx，CAT，and SOD among the 4 selected lines. The results showed that relative expression of HSP70 mRNA of A and B was obviously higher than that of C and D in the hepatopancreas（P<0.05）. The expressions of Se-GPx，CAT，and SOD changed significantly within 96 h，and were different among the 4 selected lines at different time；however，the general trend was that expressions in A and B were higher than those in C and D. The rate of A，B，C，and D was 65.0%，65.8%，51.7%，and 53.3% after infecting with V.alginolyticus for a week，it is inferred that disease-resistant ability of A and B is higher than that of C and D.

We predicted that there were 1009 target genes，and 369 genes of them significantly enriched in the biological procedure related to tumor，such as cell cycle regulation，proliferation，apoptosis and so on（P < 0.05），mainly involved in cancer pathway，MAPK signaling pathway，ErbB signaling pathway（P < 0.05）. Using the interactions of 2830 groups of genes，we constructed the regulatory network among p53，hsa-miR-3661 and target genes，and analyzed key target gene participating in several tumorous biological process from the perspective of system biology. It was confirmed in the experiment that the overexpression of miR-3661 significantly inhibited the proliferation of hepatoma cell HepG2 （P-value= 0.00146）. In conclusion，miR-3661 is directly regulated by p53 and its target genes significantly enrich in various biological processes and signal pathways related to tumor. Moreover，the overexpression of miR-3661 significantly inhibits the proliferation of hepatoma cell.

This work aims to explore the effect of PDSW combined with hyperthermia on COX-2 and Bcl-2 expressions in gastric cancer cells SGC-7901 and tissues，and to clarify its anti-cancer effects on gastric cancer cells SGC-7901 in vitro and in vivo. The SGC-7901 cells were cultured in vitro and then were randomly divided into experimental，control and blank groups；the experimental group was added with PDSW，control group was given with normal saline，blank group was in no other treatment，and each group were cultured under 37℃，40℃ and 43℃ respectively. Concurrently，the SGC-7901 cells were injected into the nude mice subcutaneous to establish the transplantation tumor model. The injected mice were randomly divided into 5 groups，and then given the treatment with H2O+RT，H2O +40℃，H2O +43℃，PDSW+40℃，and PDSW+43℃ respectively when the tumor cells grew to 1 cm diameter. qRT-PCR and Western blot were used to detect the mRNA of gene COX-2 and Bcl-2 and the protein expression of COX-2 and Bcl-2 in the cells and tissues. As results，in SGC-7901 cells and nude mice subcutaneous transplantation tumor tissues，the expressions of gene COX-2 and Bcl-2 mRNA and their protein expressions decreased under the treatment of hyperthermia. Compared with the treatment of normal saline group，the expressions of gene COX-2 and Bcl-2 and their protein expression decreased remarkably under the treatment of PDSW combined with hyperthermia. Conclusively，PDSW combined with hyperthermia may inhibit the expressions of gene COX-2 and Bcl-2 and their protein expressions in gastric cancer SGC-7901 cells and tissues，so as to effectively inhibit the proliferation of gastric cancer cells.
