[ Method] Referring to the mRNA sequence of CYP305 B1 V1 Gene published in GenBank for wild mulberry silkworm, one pair of primers was designed, and the expression of cytochrome P450 CYP305 B1 V1 Gene in different tissues of wild mulberry silkworm treated by NaF, rutin, cypermethrin and ecdysone was also analyzed by the semi - quantitative RT - PCR. Furthermore, homology comparison and phylogenetic analysis for amino acid sequences of this gene were studied. [ Result] Rutin, cypermethrin and NaF had effects on the expression of P450 CYP305 B1 V1 Gene in different tissues of wild mulberry silkworm, while ecdysone had no significant effect. Homology comparison for amino acids indicated that the amino acid sequence of this gene was the most similar to that of CYP305 B1 gene in Bombyx mori with 100% amino acid identity, and highly similar to those of Tribolium casmneum CYP305A1, Apis mellifera CYP305A1, Drosophi- la melanogaster CYP305A1, Anopheles gambiae CYP305A2and Culex pipiens quinquefasciatus CYP2LI. [ Conclusion] CYP305 B1 V1 Gene of wild mulberry silkworm is likely to mainly take part in the metabolism of exogenous compounds, which is of great significance for revealing the function of cytochrome P450 and the metabolic mechanism of different drugs.展开更多

Brassica juncea is cultivated as an edible oil resource and vegetable crop worldwide, thus elucidating the anthocyanin biosynthetic pathway would be helpful to improve the nutritional quality of Brassica juncea through the breeding and cultivating of high anthocyanin content varieties. Herein, 129 genes in B. juncea were identified as orthologs of 41 anthocyanin biosynthetic genes(ABGs) in Arabidopsis thaliana by comparative genomic analyses. The B. juncea ABGs have expanded by whole genome triplication and subsequent allopolyploidizatoin, but lost mainly during the whole genome triplication between B. rapa/B. nigra and A. thaliana, rather than the allopolyploidization process between B. juncea and B. rapa/B. nigra, leading to different copy numbers retention of A. thaliana homologous genes. Although the overall expansion levels ABGs were similar to the whole genome, more negative regulatory genes were retained in the anthocyanin biosynthesis regulatory system. Transcriptional analysis of B. juncea with different anthocyanin accumulation showed that BjDFR, BjTT19, BjTT8 are significantly up-regulated in plants with purple leaves as compared with green leaves. The overexpression of BjTT8 and these target genes which were involved in late anthocyanin biosynthesis and transport might account for increasing levels of anthocyanin accumulation in purple leaves. Our results could promote the understanding of the genetic mechanism of anthocyanin biosynthesis in B. juncea.展开更多

This paper investigates the phytoaccumulation of arsenic, cadmium and lead by B. juncea (cvs. Rai and BARI-11) parents and F1 hybrids. The experiment was conducted in the hydroponic media in the greenhouse of University of Southampton under a Randomised Block Design. Sodium arsenite, cadmium sulphate and lead nitrate with 0 ppm, 0.5 ppm and 1 ppm were used. The cadmium treated plants were analysed by Varian Atomic absorption spectrophotometer-200. The samples of arsenic and lead were analysed by Inductively Coupled Plasma Atomic Emission Spectrophotometer. The results suggest that arsenic was detected only in the root systems while cadmium and lead were detected both in the root and shoot systems. Significant differences in the uptake were observed for different concentrations. Accumulation of arsenic was detected only in the root systems of B. juncea (cvs. Rai and BARI-11) at lower concentrations. Hence, this can be used as an agriculturally viable and efficient phytoaccumulator in the arsenic affected areas where contamination level is low and the contamination occurs at the rooting level.展开更多
