| 1 | Fine mapping of the awn gene on chromosome 4 in rice by association and linkage analyses显示文摘Awnness is a key trait in rice domestication, yet no studies have been conducted on fine mapping or association mapping of the rice awn gene. In this study, we investigated the awnness and genotype of a core collection of 303 cultivated rice varieties and a BC5F2 segregating population of 200 individuals. Combining association and linkage analyses, we mapped the awnness related genes to chromosome 4. Primary association analysis using 24 SSR markers revealed five loci significantly associated with awnness on chromosome 4. The associated markers cover previously identified regions. Fine association mapping was conducted using another 29 markers within a 4-Mb region, covering the associated marker in34, which is close to the awn gene Awn4.1. Seven associated markers were revealed, distributed over an 870-kb region. Combining the fine association mapping and linkage analysis of awnness in the 200 BC5F2 segregating population, we finally identified a 330-kb region as the candidate region for Awn4.1. The results indicate that combining association mapping and linkage mapping provides an efficient and precise approach to both genome-wide mapping and fine mapping of rice genes. | HU GuangLong ZHANG DongLing PAN HuiQiao LI Ben WU JianTao ZHOU XueYa ZHANG QunYuan ZHOU Lei YAO GuoXin LI JunZhou LI JinJie ZHANG HongLiang LI ZiChao | 2011 | Chinese Science Bulletin2011，56，9： | 4 |
| 2 | Neurotoxic mechanism of 1-methyl-4-phenyl-1,2,3,6-tetradropyridine显示文摘BACKGROUND: To summarize the metabolic pathway of 1-methyl-4-phenyl-1,2,3,6-tetradropyridine (MPTP) and its mechanism in inducing Parkinson disease. DATA SOURCES: A computer-based online search of Medline database was undertaken to identify articles about the metabolic pathway of MPTP and its mechanism in inducing Parkinson disease published in English between January 1996 and August 2004, the were 'MPTP, Parkinson disease'. Meanwhile, Chinese relevant articles published between January 2000 and August 2004 were searched in Wanfang database with the keywords of 'MPTP, Parkinson disease'. STUDY SELECTION: More than 300 relevant literatures were retrieved, and the full-texts were further searched, those about the establishment of animal models, molecular mechanism of MPTP neurotoxicity and the metabolism were selected, and the obviously repetitive ones, case report and reviews were excluded, finally 18 of them were selected for summarization. DATA EXTRACTION: The 18 literatures were categorized according to MPTP induced animal models of Parkinson disease, mechanism of MPTP in inducing apoptosis in models of Parkinson disease, role of dopamine in the neurotoxic mechanism of MPTP, the role of reactive oxygen species and nitric oxide in the neurotoxicity of MPTP. DATA SYNTHESIS: Animal models of Parkinson disease induced by MPTP can not only produce the clinical characters of Parkinson disease, also duplicate the main biochemical and pathological changes of Parkinson disease. The metabolic pathway of MPTP and its mechanism in inducing Parkinson disease included producing free oxygen and nitric oxide, damaging mitochondrial respiratory chain, and inducing apoptosis, etc. which could all lead to the degeneration and loss of dopaminergic neurons. CONCLUSION: Although some aspects of the models of Parkinson disease are different from that in human beings, we can still know the neurodegeneration of Parkinson disease through studying the molecular mechanism of MPTP. | Xiulan Yang Jingzhong Zhang Qunyuan xu | 2006 | Neural Regeneration Research2006，1，4： | 0 |
