Morphological and molecular characterization of Paraleptus chiloscyllii Yin & Zhang, 1983 (Nematoda: Physalopteridae) from the brownbanded bambooshark Chiloscyllium punctatum Müller & Henle (Elasmobranchii: Orectolobiformes).

Paraleptus (Spirurida: Physalopteridae) is a small genus of nematodes, parasitic in fishes, most species of which are inadequately described. Genetic data for these congeners have not been reported. The detailed morphology of P.

[Sited-directed mutagenesis of hCu, Zn-SOD gene and its expression in Synechococcus sp. PCC7942].

The Cys111 genetic code of human copper/zinc superoxide dismutase (hCu, Zn-SOD) gene in the pESOD plamid was mutated into the Ala111 code with site-directed mutagenesis, and then the plamid pESODT111 which contained groESL promoter, mutated hCu, Zn-SOD gene, rbcS-polyA terminator and reporter gene (Kanr) was constructed and transduced into Synechococcus sp. PCC7942 with homologous recombination platform. The results of PCR and DNA sequence analysis showed that the target nucleotide had been genetically integrated into genome DNA of the host cell.

[Study on high efficiency tissue culture of mature seeds of rice (JiaHe-ZaoZhan)].

In order to improve the embryogenic callus induction rate and the regeneration rate of JiaHe-ZaoZhan rice, the influence of different factors were investigated, media with different hormones were used. Induction medium was supplemented with 1.5 mg/L 2,4-D + 3 mg/L NAA + 0.

[Construction of shuttle expression vector and expression of thymosin alpha 1 in Synechococcus sp. PCC7942].

The shutter expression vector pPREUT was constructed from the plasmid pPRS-1 containing the endogenous small plasmid of Plectonema boryanum. The expression elements such as heat shock gene groESL promoter, foreign gene Ub-thymosin alpha 1, rbcS polyA terminator and Kanamycin resistance gene were all included. The shutter plasmid pPREUT was directly transferred into Synechococcus sp.
