The proteins from endosperm, root, stem, leaf, leafstalk of Jatropha curcas L. and their calli were hybridized to the seed toxin protein (curcin) of Jatropha curcas L. by western blot. The result showed that the curcin was specifically expressed in the endosperm and its calli, while it was not detected in root, stem, leaf, and leafstalk of Jatropha curcas L. and their calli . This study indicated that calli induced from endosperm can be used to produce curcin.
在静置液体培养和振荡液体培养方式下,研究了聚乙二醇(PEG)胁迫对金发草[Pogona the rumpaniceum(Lam.)Hack]愈伤组织的再生能力和游离脯氨酸(F-Pro)积累的影响。发现金发草愈伤组织具有较高的耐PEG胁迫能力,培养方式与PEG胁迫对其再生抑制上存在时间与程度两个方面的表现。振荡培养方式主要表现为延迟再生时间,而PEG胁迫则主要表现为降低再生频率。两种培养方式都能使愈伤组织在PEG胁迫下发生F-Pro积累,F-Pro含量随PEG浓度的增加和培养时间的增长而升高。去胁迫后,大部分愈伤组织都能够恢复再生能力,F-Pro可能在抑制和恢复过程中作用较复杂。因此,在利用愈伤组织筛选抗旱植株时,PEG浓度应在300g.L-1以上,处理时间3周以上,静置培养更有利于抗旱突变体的筛选。
