A cell suspension culture was initiated from callus derived from plantlets of Populus euphratica. Cold acclimation was induced (LT50 of 17.5 ℃) in cell suspension at 45 ℃ in the dark for 30 days and the freezing tolerance increased from LT50 of 12.5 ℃ in nonacclimated cells to LT50 of 17.5 ℃ in cold-acclimated cells. Microvacuolation, cytoplasmic augmentation and accumulation of starch granules were observed in cells that were cold-acclimated by exposure to low temperatures. Several qualitative and quantitative changes in proteins were noted during cold acclimation. Antibodies to carrot extracellular (apoplastic) 36 kD antifreeze protein did not cross react on immunoelectroblots with extracellular proteins in cell suspension culture medium of Populus euphratica, indicating no common epitopes in the carrot 36 kD antifreeze protein and P. euphratica extracellular proteins. The relationship of these changes to cold acclimation in Populus euphratica cell cultures was discussed.展开更多

The recombinant was transformed into expression host carrying T7 RNA polymerase gene (DE3 lysogen) and induced by 1 mmol稬-1 IPTG (isopropyl--D-thiogalactoside) to express 110 kD polypeptide of AFP fusion protein. The analysis of product solubility revealed that pET43.1b-AFP was predominately soluble, and the expressed amount reached the maximum after the IPTG treatment for 3 h.展开更多
