    Penyakit kuning pada kacang panjang berdampak pada penurunan produksi. Gejala serangan diawali dari gejala daun keriting serta mengakibatkan polong berwarna kuning. Penelitian ini bertujuan mengetahui nilai heritabilitas dan ragam genetik serta menduga jumlah gen pengendali ketahanan kacang panjang terhadap penyakit kuning. Penelitian dilaksanakan di Kabupaten Kediri pada bulan April sampai Juli 2013. Bahan penelitian adalah populasi UB 715 A (P1), Hitam Putih (P2), populasi F1 dan populasi F2. Berdasarkan hasil penelitian, populasi UB 715 A (P1 ) menunjukkan respon tahan terhadap penyakit kuning, populasi Hitam Putih (P2) menunjukkan respon rentan, dan populasi F1 dan F2 menunjukkan respon sedang. Karakter jumlah polong dan jumlah biji per tanaman memiliki keragaman yang sempit sedangkan karakter panjang polong, bobot segar polong, umur berbunga, dan umur panen memiliki keragaman yang luas. Karakter panjang polong dan jumlah biji per polong memiliki nilai heritabilitas rendah, sedangkan karakter jumlah polong, bobot segar polong, umur berbunga, dan umur panen memiliki nilai heritabilitas tinggi. Rasio sifat ketahanan terhadap penyakit kuning pada populasi F2 adalah 9 tahan : 3 sedang : 4 rentan yang berarti ketahanan terhadap penyakit kuning dikendalikan oleh dua gen dengan aksi gen epistasis resesif

    Single Channel Recordings Reveal Differential β2 Subunit Modulations Between Mammalian and <i>Drosophila</i> BK<sub>Ca</sub>(β2) Channels

    <div><p>Large-conductance Ca<sup>2+</sup>- and voltage-activated potassium (BK) channels are widely expressed in tissues. As a voltage and calcium sensor, BK channels play significant roles in regulating the action potential frequency, neurotransmitter release, and smooth muscle contraction. After associating with the auxiliary β2 subunit, mammalian BK(β2) channels (mouse or human Slo1/β2) exhibit enhanced activation and complete inactivation. However, how the β2 subunit modulates the <i>Drosophila</i> Slo1 channel remains elusive. In this study, by comparing the different functional effects on heterogeneous BK(β2) channel, we found that <i>Drosophila</i> Slo1/β2 channel exhibits “paralyzed”-like and incomplete inactivation as well as slow activation. Further, we determined three different modulations between mammalian and <i>Drosophila</i> BK(β2) channels: 1) dSlo1/β2 doesn’t have complete inactivation. 2) β2(K33,R34,K35) delays the dSlo1/Δ3-β2 channel activation. 3) dSlo1/β2 channel has enhanced pre-inactivation than mSlo1/β2 channel. The results in our study provide insights into the different modulations of β2 subunit between mammalian and <i>Drosophila</i> Slo1/β2 channels and structural basis underlie the activation and pre-inactivation of other BK(β) complexes.</p></div

    <p>Gray and orange bars indicated dSlo1 or mSlo1 and β2 subunit, respectively. Blue, orange, and pink circles indicated the α and β2 binding or interactions, β2(K33,R34,K35), and β2(D16,E17) or pre-inactivation, respectively. The black circle indicated the enhanced pre-inactivation in dSlo1/β2 channel. Firstly, in dSlo1/β2 channel, the inactivation ball FIW is not enough for the complete inactivation, and may suppress the α and β2 binding or interactions. Secondly, β2(K33,R34,K35) delays the pore opening (or voltage sensor movement). Thirdly, dSlo1/β2 channel has enhanced pre-inactivation than mSlo1/β2 channel.</p
