背景情况:
- 4-Vinylguaiacol (4-VG) 在造的烈酒,包括日本的酒精中贡献了的味道.
- 在酒中,4-VG是由ferulic酸的脱碳化生成的,由PAD1和FDC1基因编码的酵母酶催化.
- 虽然商业糖酵母通常具有非功能FDC1基因,但用于特种酒的野生酵母可能保留功能FDC1,从而导致更高的4-VG.
研究的目的:
- 开发一种育种策略,以从萨基酵母菌株中消除不受欢迎的野生型FDC1等位基因.
- 通过创建具有同胞性非功能FDC1基因的酵母菌株来减少-4-维尼尔瓜亚科尔的生产.
- 展示一种用于酵母中向基因等位基因排除的方法,用于定制的菌株开发.
主要方法:
- 使用商业"Kyokai"酵母和天然酵母分离物的逆交繁殖方法.
- 进行了三轮交叉程序,以产生同卵性fdc1杂交菌株.
- 与父系菌株相比,由此产生的杂交菌株的培养超体中评估了4-VG水平.
主要成果:
- 成功生成了对非功能性fdc1等位体具有同位素的酵母菌株.
- 证实了同卵性fdc1杂交菌株的超体中4-VG水平的显著降低.
- 育种方法不依赖于对所需的fdc1突变的生长选择.
结论:

In-vitro Mutagenesis

To learn more about the function of a gene, researchers can observe what happens when the gene is inactivated or “knocked out,” by creating genetically engineered knockout animals. Knockout mice have been particularly useful as models for human diseases such as cancer, Parkinson’s disease, and diabetes.

Gene Conversion

Other than maintaining genome stability via DNA repair, homologous recombination plays an important role in diversifying the genome. In fact, the recombination of sequences forms the molecular basis of genomic evolution. Random and non-random permutations of genomic sequences create a library of new amalgamated sequences. These newly formed genomes can determine the fitness and survival of cells. In bacteria, homologous and non-homologous types of recombination lead to the evolution of new...

Crop cultivation has a long history in human civilization, with records showing the cultivation of cereal plants beginning at around 8000 BC. This early plant breeding was developed primarily to provide a steady supply of food.
