Understanding of the molecular mechanisms governing the survival of organ progenitor cells in vivo is crucial for in vitro tissue regeneration.Here,we have found that Xenopus appl1 and akt2 share a similar embryonic expression pattern,showing characteristic expression in the central nervous system as well as in the pancreas and part of the stomach/duodenum (SD) at tadpole stages of development.Specific knockdown of appl1 in endoderm or inhibition of akt activity did not affect the formation of endodermal organ primordia at tail bud stages of development,but led to a gut coiling defect,strong apoptosis in endodermal organs,and pancreas and SD hypoplasia or even aplasia at tadpole stages of development.Furthermore,appl1 is required for akt phosphorylation and akt2 in turn can rescue appl1 knockdown phenotypes.Together,our data suggest that appl1-akt signaling is specifically required for the survival of pancreas and SD progenitor cells in Xenopus laevis embryos.

林分、林窗结构是森林生态学基础研究和森林经营实践的重要基础,因此,探索准确、快捷确定林分、林窗结构量化的方法并在森林经营中应用便成为森林可持续经营的关键之一.综观国内外关于森林结构研究历史和现状发现,林分结构的研究多集中于水平结构及带状防护林结构上,而关于林分垂直结构的研究则十分薄弱;另外,林窗作为森林演替中最重要的小尺度干扰,其结构的变化直接影响森林演替方向,而关于林窗结构研究则多为定性研究,不
