1.Advance in The Flowering Time Control of Arabidopsis
Progress in Biochemistry and Biophysics 2006;0(04):-
Flowering is one of the most important progresses for most plants during the transition from vegetative growth to reproductive growth. There are many factors that affect the flowering, including two main external factors, light and temperature, and the internal factors such as gibberellin acid (GA) and autonomous elements. At present, the late-flowering mutants are fallen into four pathways: photoperiod pathway, vernalization pathway, autonomous pathway and GA pathway according to factors described above. Through several floral integrators, such as SOC1, FT and LFY, the multiple flowering regulatory pathways control the flowering finely under the variable environmental condition and physiological condition.
2.Identification and Characterization of The Arabidopsis fumonisin B_1 resistant fbr136
Progress in Biochemistry and Biophysics 2006;0(03):-
Plant programmed cell death (PCD) plays an important role in plant growth and development as well as defensive response against biotic and abiotic stresses. Fumonisin B1 (FB1) is a fungi toxin, which is a competitive inhibitor of ceramide synthase in de novo sphingolipid biosynthesis. FB1 can induce PCD in both animal and plant cells. To dissect this pathway, a genetic screen for fumonisin B1 resistant (fbr) mutants, and identified 11 fbr mutants was carried out. Genetic analysis showed that these 11 mutants belonged to 9 complementary groups or genetic loci. Here a detailed phenotypic analysis of fbr136 was reported. In addition to the resistance to FB1, fbr136 also showed resistance other PCD-inducing compounds, including H2O2 and paraquat. Furthermore, FB1-induced PR1 expression was reduced in fbr136, suggesting that a PCD pathway is likely impaired in the mutant. When stained with nitroblue tetrazolium (NBT), fbr136 showed a reduced accumulation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) induced by FB1. The fbr136 mutation was roughly mapped onto chromosome Ⅲ, where no other fbr mutants have been previously identified. It is proposed that FBR136 may act as an important regulator in a sphingolipid-mediated PCD pathway, involved in the generation of ROS.

OBJECTIVE:To investigate th e cognition ,attitude and behavior of part of drug practitioners in Shenzhen on compensation of adverse drug reaction (ADR)injury,and to provide relevant reference for the establishment of ADR injury compensation system. METHODS :Taking marketing authorization holder (MAH),staff of medical institutions at the second level or above and drug regulatory authorities in the relevant meeting held in Shenzhen in 2018 as objects ,on-the-spot anonymous investigation of “questionnaire star ”was used to collect and analyze the cognition ,attitude(including attitude towards ADR compensation and ADR compensation system )and behavior of the above-mentioned personnel to ADR compensation. The relevant suggestion was put forward. RESULTS & CONCLUSIONS :A total of 172 questionnaires were collected (all being valid ). In term of cognition ,the respondents generally had high awareness of ADR (response rate of ADR concept was 82.0%). In term of attitude to ADR injury compensation ,100 respondents(58.1%)believed that ADR after medication should be compensated ,and 147 respondents(85.5%)believed that compensation should be made for serious and fatal adverse reactions. In term of attitude to ADR injury compensation system ,respondents thought that ADR damage compensation funds be undertaken by MAH for 131 case times (76.2%). As for the difficulties in the implementation of ADR compensation ,it was considered that the evaluation of the correlation between adverse reactions and drugs led to the difficulties in the implementation of ADR compensation (143 case times , 83.1%);most respondents thought that the first thing to do in the implementation of ADR compensation system was to implement laws and regulations (145 case times ,84.3%). In term of behavior ,104 respondents(60.5%)had processed costs due to ADR , most of whom chose self-resolved (85 cases,81.7%);112 respondents (65.1%) chose to inform medical personnels or pharmacies directly. It is suggested that the relevant departments in Shenzhen should explore and establish ADR injury compensation mechanism in Shenzhen by establishing a public oriented platform and mechanism for ADR science popularization (setting up relevant departments ,supervising the public propaganda of news media ,expanding the public propaganda to the commu nity),exploring and establishing ADR injury compensation mechanism (setting up a special legislative pilot of ADR injury regulations ,setting up ADR injury appraisal committee ),and increasing the investment in ADR testing (fully using of “Internet+”Big Data ,allocating special funds ).
