  Review on the Models of Mechanical Mechanism of Soil Reinforcement by Plant Roots 2012, 28 (31):  1-6.  Abstract + ( 1222 )   PDF ( 761194KB )   ( 1030 ) Because of advantages in stabilizing slopes and protecting ecology and environment, soil reinforcement and slope protection by plants are widely used in slope protection measures. The mechanical effects of soil reinforcement and slope protection by plants mainly reflected on roots, including reinforcing effects of shallow roots and anchoring effects of deep roots. So models of root reinforcement are basic and important for revealing the mechanism of slope protection by plants. On the basis of analyzing the mechanism of root reinforcement, three models of root reinforcement: Wu’s model, energy approach model and fiber bundle model were discussed, including preconditions, advantages, disadvantages, and applications of the models. Finally, the direction and the development of root reinforcement model in the future were predicted. These models were theoretical promotion of mechanical mechanism of root reinforcement. They can provide basic theory for slope protection by plants and scientific guide for slope protection with vegetation measures.

  Cloning and Bioinformatics Analysis of a Membrane-bound NAC Transcription Factor Gene HbNTL1 from Hevea brasiliensis 2012, 28 (31):  7-14.  Abstract + ( 1018 )   PDF ( 2369524KB )   ( 909 ) The NAC (NAM, ATAF1, -2, and CUC2) gene family encodes a large family of plant-specific transcription factors that play diverse roles in plant development and stress regulation. Membrane-bound NAC transcription factors are a group of NAC transcription factors with transmembrane domain. In this study, the sequence of a membrane-bound NAC transcription factor, HbNTL1 was cloned from cDNA and genomic DNA based on the EST sequence of NAC isolated from the cDNA libraries of Hevea brasiliensis latex. Bioinformatics analysis shows that HbNTL1 contained 6 exons and 5 introns within the genomic DNA sequence and have an open reading frame of 1704 bp encoding a protein with 567 amino acids. The estimated molecular mass isoelectric point of HbNTL1 was 62.52 kDa and 4.62 respectively. There was a conserved NAC domain in the N-terminus and transmembrane domain (TM) in the highly divergent C-terminus. Sequence alignment and phylogenetic analysis revealed that HbNTL1 was a member of NAC transcription factor family belonging to NAC2 subgroup and probably play key roles in the development and stress responses in rubber tree.

Arg) 2012, 28 (31):  15-20.  Abstract + ( 1205 )   PDF ( 1285354KB )   ( 862 ) In order to establish transformation system based on embryogenic suspension cultures in rubber tree (Hevea brasiliensis Mu?ll. Arg), cell aggregates from embryogenic suspension cultures were co-cultivated with the A. tumefaciens strain EHA105 harboring a binary vector pCAMBIA1301 with gusA and hpt II genes. Effect of co-cultivation time and A. tumefaciens concentration on transient expression of gusA was examined by GUS assay. The sensitivity of cell aggregates to hygromycin (Hyg) added to the medium was also tested in order to determine the optimal concentration of this antibiotic in the selective medium. The results suggested that 3 days was an optimal co-cultivation time, a desired OD600 of strain EHA105 was 0.4-0.6, and 15 mg/L concentration of Hyg was found to be enough to inhibit the growth of cell aggregates. A total of 53 Hyg-resistant embryogenic calli were obtained after transformation and co-cultivation. At last, 7 somatic embryos were further formed. GUS assay and PCR analysis indicated that gusA had been integrated into the genome of rubber tree. In all, this study laid the groundwork for efficient Agrobacterium tumefaciens mediated transformation using embryogenic suspension cultures in rubber tree.

In comparison with the characteristic of high TH and low RI of fish AFPs and insect AFPs, antifreeze proteins of plants was low TH and high RI activity. In order to obtain antifreeze proteins with high TH and high RI activity, the complete cDNA of antifreeze protein genes (DcAFP and TmAFP) were cloned from Daucus carota and Tentbrio molitor. The two fusion antifreeze protein genes, Dc-TmAFP and Tm-DcAFP, were constructed series before and after by overlap extension PCR. The four genes were successfully transferred into Arabidopsis thaliana via Agrobacterium tumefaciens, and then the transgenic plants were cold treated. The frost-resistance of the transgenic plants was studied and analyzed. The results from statistical analysis of mortality and blade etiolation rate indicated that the AFPs had different functions which improved the cold resistance in many different ways. Hyperactive thermal hysteresis protein (THP) like TmAFP was a great help to depress the freezing point. However, when plant suffered from freeze injury a little longer, hyperactive ice re-crystallization inhibition protein (IRIP) like DcAFP kept stabilization of the fluid in the apoplast.
