The effect of flowering time on nectar secretion,effective pollinators activities and fruit set in Epimedium wushanense were revealed by One-way ANOVA.Among the three stage of flowering,the differences in nectar standing crop and sugar content of E.wushanense were very remarkable.In this three populations,the nectar standing crop in the initial stage was higher than that in other stages,but the sugar content of nectar was higher in the last stage.The results indicated that the activities of effective pollinators were influenced by the flowering time significantly.During a day,the activities of effective pollinators were mainly concentrated in the noon.At the same time the visiting frequency of effective pollinators in last stage was higher than that in the initial and middle stage.It was also indicated that the fruit set,the seed number and percentage of seed abortion per fruit of E.wushanense were influenced by the flowering time significantly.During the initial and the middle stage of flowering,the fruit set and the seed number per fruit were bigger than that in the last stage of flowering.But the percentage of seed abortion per fruit was higher in the last stage.So,in order to make work more effective,we should choose the fruits of E.wushanense in the initial of flowering stage for experiments and breeding,and pay attention to the flowering regulation in artificial cultivation.

: Several VQ proteins are recently identified as WRKY factors鄄interacting partners in Arabidopsis and in鄄 volved in regulating physiological processes. Searching of genomic databases found that VQ gene family is specific to land plants and these VQ genes encode proteins characteristic of a conserved VQ鄄motif. It consists of 34 representa鄄 tives in Arabidopsis and can be divided into two groups based on the similarity of the amino acid sequences. To un鄄 derstand the functions of Arabidopsis VQ proteins, we examined the expression profiles of AtVQ genes in various de鄄 fense鄄related hormones treatments. qRT鄄PCR analysis revealed that a majority of them were differently regulated in response to salicylic acid (SA), methyl jasmonate (MeJA), or 1鄄aminocyclopropane鄄1鄄carboxylate (ACC). And some members are induced by two of these three hormones. Moreover, four members ( AtVQ3 , AtVQ18 , AtVQ23 and AtVQ24 ) are induced by SA, MeJA and ACC simultaneity. However, there is only one AtVQ gene ( AtVQ27 ) is up鄄 regulated after spraying of abscisic acid (ABA). These results suggest that Arabidopsis VQ genes may be involved in plant defense responses.

A 4 231 bp DNA fragment of B mating type pheromone receptor from strain YAASM0711 of Agrocybe salicacola was obtained by using degenerate PCR and DNA walking techniques.The result of alignment and structure prediction of DNA sequences showed that one 1 194 bp nucleotides gene ASRcb1 encoding B mating pheromone receptor was found,including four introns(72 bp,49 bp,48 bp and 41 bp) and five extrons(217 bp,113 bp,67 bp,138 bp and 449 bp).The spliced open reading frame(ORF) contains 984 bp nucleotides encoding 327 amino acid residues,and includes seven transmembrane protein regions as in its similar sequences of Coprinus cinerea and Laccaria bicolor pheromone receptors.The genetic evolution of pheromone receptor showed ASRcb1 was clustered with more receptors,which suggested multiple ways of evolution occurred in fungi.

High temperature might be one of the main limiting factors to be introduced and domesticated into lower altitude for Incarvillea zhongdiannensis. To further reveal the underlying molecular mechanism in I.zhongdiannensis responding to high temperature, the suppression subtractive hybridization approach (SSH) was used in this study. The results showed the quality of forward or reverse subtraction cDNA library is good enough for further SSH experiments. Total sixty expressed tags (ESTs) with high quality were randomly obtained by SSH and sequencing. According to BLAST screening and functional annotation, 50 ESTs with known function were classified into 9 broad categories such as defense/stress, photosynthesis, metabolism, energy, signal transduction and transcription, protein fate, transporter, biosynthesis, cell structure and cell growth. There were six ESTs significantly matched with hypothetical proteins. Four ESTs with no hits possibly encode novel genes and play important role in I.zhongdiannensis responding to high temperature stress.

Gateway technology is a universal cloning approach that enables rapid cloning of DNA fragments into mul- tiple Gateway-compatible destination vectors using λ phage site-specific recombination , eliminating the requirement to work with restriction enzymes and ligase. But a problem using this system for making entry clone is the expensive- ness and long time to buy the enzyme. To solve this problem , we created the TA cloning entry vector that contained a T-tail in each 3 ' -end through modification of pDONR207. The TA cloning approach can construct entry clones simply , economically and rapidly. Using Gateway T vectors prepared by this improved method , prokaryotic expres- sion vector and eukaryotic expression vector for SOS2 gene were constructed. Through the methods of prokaryotic ex- pression and transient gene expression in Arabidopsis protoplasts , it proved that the SOS2 gene expressed well in both
