绵羊基因组研究进展

过去几年中,家畜基因组计划取得了巨大进展。已经构建了猪、鸡、牛、绵羊、马、鹿的遗传图谱,其遗传标记间距在5～20cM。这些图谱对于家畜中与重要经济性状相关的基因或遗传标记的鉴定非常重要。该文从绵羊的基因图谱、比较图谱、重要经济性状基因及QTL定位方面对绵羊基因组的研究进展作了简要阐述。 Abstract:During the last few years,advances in livestock genome projects have been remarkable.Species-specific genetic maps exist for pig,chicken,cattle,sheep,horse,and deer with marker intervals of 5 to 20 cM.These maps have been essential for the identification of genes and genetic markers associated with importantly economic traits in livestock.In this paper,advances of gene map,comparative map,the genes for importantly economic traits and quantitative trait loci (QTL) mapping were briefly introduced in sheep.     

利用P1、P2和DH或RIL群体联合分离分析的拓展

QTL定位常报道主基因数多于3的情形.然而,利用基因型杂合的分离群体拓展3对主基因+多基因混合遗传模型非常困难,而DH或RIL群体是遗传分析的很好群体且拓展3对主基因+多基因模型相对容易些.在文献1～4的基础上,拓展利用亲本和DH或RIL群体的2对连锁主基因、2对连锁主基因+多基因、3对主基因和3对主基因+多基因4类遗传模型.通过大豆科丰1号×1138?2构成的RIL群体及其亲本研究了大豆开花期的遗传规律。 Abstract:More than three major genes controlling quantitative trait are often obtained in QTL mapping.However,it is very difficult to develop joint segregation analysis with three major genes but for DH or RIL population.There fore,an expansion of the inheritance model,such as linkage between two major genes,three major genes,three major genes plus polygenes,was developed in this paper.Finally,an example of the inheritance of flowering date of soybean for using P1,P2 and RIL populations derived from a cross between Keifeng 1 and Nannong 1138-2 was used to explain the procedures.     

Fine-mapping of an Arabidopsis cell death mutation locus

An Arabidopsis cell death mutation locus was mapped to chromosome 2 between lGS1 and mi421. The YAC clone ends, CIC9A3R, CIC11C7L, CIC2G5R and RFLP marker CDs3 within this interval, were used to probe TAMU BAC library and 31 BAC clones were obtained. A BAC contig encompassing the mutation locus, which consists of T6P5, T7M23, T12A21, T8L6 and T18A18, was identified by Southern hybridization with the BAC ends as probes. 11 CAPS and 12 STS markers were developed in this region. These results will facilitate map-based cloning of the genes and sequencing of the genomic DNA in this region.     

Molecular Tagging and Mapping of Quantitative Trait Loci for Lint Percentage and Morphological Marker Genes in Upland Cotton

Using 219 F2 Individuals developed by crossing the genetic standard line TM-1 and the multiple dominant marker line T586 In Gossyplum hirsutum L., a genetic linkage map with 19 linkage groups was constructed based on simple sequence repeat （SSR） markers. Compared with our tetraploid backboned molecular genetic map from a （TM-1xHal 7124）xTM-1 BC1 population, 17 of the 19 I｜nkage groups were combined and anchored to 12 chromosomes （sub-genomes）. Of these groups, four morphological marker genes In T586 had been mapped Into the molecular linkage map. Meanwhile, three quantitative trait loci for lint percentage were tagged and mapped separately on the A03 linkage group and chromosome 6.     

棉花2个多标记基因系及其杂交后代AFLP分析

应用AFLP分子标记技术,对陆地棉两个多标记基因系T582和T586及其杂交后代F1等进行了DNA多态性分析。结果表明:在58对EcoRI/MseI引物组合中,筛选出41对引物组合具有多态性,多态性的引物组合占筛选总组合的70.69%。AFLP分子标记具有高度的多态性,非常适于基因组差异较小的(棉花)材料之间的多态性筛选。采用聚丙烯酰胺银染法显带技术,AFLP进行PCR扩增能看到30~80条DNA亮带,且检测灵敏度高,可区别只相差十几个bp甚至几个bp大小的DNA片段。但AFLP标记以显性标记占绝对优势,共显性标记比率极少,故而难以区分种质的杂合和纯合,这是它的惟一不足之处。     

GhPSY,a phytoene synthase gene,is related to the red plant phenotype in upland cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.)

Carotenoids are important accessory pigments in plants that are essential for photosynthesis. Phytoene synthase (PSY), a rate-controlling enzyme in the carotenoid biosynthesis pathway, has been widely characterized in rice, maize, and sorghum, but at present there are no reports describing this enzyme in cotton. In this study, GhPSY was identified as a candidate gene for the red plant phenotype via a combined strategy using: (1) molecular marker data for loci closely linked to R1; (2) the whole-genome scaffold sequence from Gossypium raimondii; (3) gene expression patterns in cotton accessions expressing the red plant and green plant phenotypes; and (4) the significant correlation between a single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNP) in GhPSY and leaf phenotypes of progeny in the (Sub16 × T586) F₂ segregating population. GhPSY was relatively highly expressed in leaves, and the protein was localized to the plastid where it appeared to be mostly attached to the surface of thylakoid membranes. GhPSY mRNA was expressed at a significantly higher level in T586 and SL1-7-1 red plants than TM-1 and Hai7124 green plants. SNP analysis in the GhPSY locus showed co-segregation with the red and green plant phenotypes in the (Sub16 × T586) F₂ segregating population. A phylogenetic analysis showed that GhPSY belongs to the PSY2 subfamily, which is related to photosynthesis in photosynthetic tissues. Using a reverse genetics approach based on Tobacco rattle virus-induced gene silencing, we showed that the knockdown of GhPSY caused a highly uniform bleaching of the red color in newly-emerged leaves in both T586 and SL1-7-1 plants with a red plant phenotype. These findings indicate that GhPSY is important for engineering the carotenoid metabolic pathway in pigment production.     

Genomic location of the Fw gene for resistance to Fusarium wilt race 1 in peas

Resistance to fusarium wilt in peas (Pisumsativum L.) caused by Fusarium oxysporum Schlect. f. sp. pisi race 1 (van Hall) Snyd. & Hans. is conferred by a single dominant gene, Fw. The gene was located in the pea genome by analyzing progenies from crosses involving genetic markers across all pea linkage groups. Phenotyping of the progenies for reaction to race 1 of the fusarium wilt pathogen was determined by field screening in a "wilt-sick" plot in Pullman, Washington. Fw was shown to be located on linkage group III, about 13 map units from Lap-1 and b and 14 map units from Td. The relatively large distances between these markers and Fw precludes the use of the linked markers in marker-assisted selection for wilt resistance. Additional markers in this region of the pea genome will be required if marker-assisted selection for Fw is to be successful.     

Ezrin NH2-terminal domain inhibits the cell extension activity of the COOH-terminal domain

Overexpression in insect cells of the full coding sequence of the human membrane cytoskeletal linker ezrin (1-586) was compared with that of a NH2-terminal domain (ezrin 1-233) and that of a COOH-terminal domain (ezrin 310-586). Ezrin (1-586), as well as ezrin (1-233) enhanced cell adhesion of infected Sf9 cells without inducing gross morphological changes in the cell structure. Ezrin (310-586) enhanced cell adhesion and elicited membrane spreading followed by microspike and lamellipodia extensions by mobilization of Sf9 cell actin. Moreover some microspikes elongated into thin processes, up to 200 microns in length, resembling neurite outgrowths by a mechanism requiring microtubule assembly. Kinetics of videomicroscopic and drug-interference studies demonstrated that mobilization of actin was required for tubulin assembly to proceed. A similar phenotype was observed in CHO cells when a comparable ezrin domain was transiently overexpressed. The shortest domain promoting cell extension was localized between residues 373-586. Removal of residues 566-586, involved in in vitro actin binding (Turunen, O., T. Wahlstrom, and A. Vaheri. 1994. J. Cell Biol. 126:1445- 1453), suppressed the extension activity. Coexpression of ezrin (1-233) with ezrin (310-586) in the same insect cells blocked the constitutive activity of ezrin COOH-terminal domain. The inhibitory activity was mapped within ezrin 115 first NH2-terminal residues. We conclude that ezrin has properties to promote cell adhesion, and that ezrin NH2- terminal domain negatively regulates membrane spreading and elongation properties of ezrin COOH-terminal domain.     

Mapping of avirulence genes in the rice blast fungus, Magnaporthe grisea, with RFLP and RAPD markers

Three genetically independent avirulence genes, AVR1-Irat7, AVRI-MedNoi; and AVR1-Ku86, were identified in a cross involving isolates Guy11 and 2/0/3 of the rice blast fungus, Magnaporthe grisea. Using 76 random progeny, we constructed a partial genetic map with restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) markers revealed by probes such as the repeated sequences MGL/MGR583 and Pot3/MGR586, cosmids from the M. grisea genetic map, and a telomere sequence oligonucleotide. Avirulence genes AVR1-MedNoi and AVR1-Ku86 were closely linked to telomere RFLPs such as marker TelG (6 cM from AVR1-MedNoi) and TelF (4.5 cM from AVR1-Ku86). Avirulence gene AVR1-Irat7 was linked to a cosmid RFLP located on chromosome 1 and mapped at 20 cM from the avirulence gene AVR1-CO39. Using bulked segregant analysis, we identified 11 random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) markers closely linked (0 to 10 cM) to the avirulence genes segregating in this cross. Most of these RAPD markers corresponded to junction fragments between known or new transposons and a single-copy sequence. Such junctions or the whole sequences of single-copy RAPD markers were frequently absent in one parental isolate. Single-copy sequences from RAPD markers tightly linked to avirulence genes will be used for positional cloning.     

Effects of light quality on growth and development of protocorm-like bodies of <Emphasis Type="Italic">Dendrobium officinale</Emphasis> in vitro

The effect of light quality on protocorm-like bodies (PLBs) of Dendrobium officinale was investigated. PLBs of D. officinale were incubated under a number of different light conditions in vitro, namely: dark conditions; fluorescent white light (Fw); red light-emitting diodes (LEDs); blue LEDs; half red plus half blue [RB (1:1)] LEDs; 67% red plus 33% blue [RB (2:1)] LEDs; and 33% red plus 67% blue [RB (1:2)] LEDs. Growth parameters, number of shoots produced per PLB, chlorophyll concentration and carotenoid concentration were measured after 90 days culture. The percentage of PLBs producing shoots was 85% under blue LEDs. In contrast, the percentage of PLBs producing shoots was less than 60% under dark conditions, fluorescent white light and red LEDs. The number of shoots produced per PLB was more than 1.5 times greater under blue LEDs, RB (1:1) LEDs and RB (1:2) LEDs than those cultured under other light treatments [dark, Fw, red LEDs and RB (2:1)]. Chlorophyll and carotenoid concentrations were significantly higher under blue LEDs and different red plus blue LED ratios, compared to other light treatments (dark, Fw and red LEDs). Blue LEDs, Fw, and RB (1:2) LEDs produced higher dry matter accumulations of PLBs and shoots. This study suggests that blue LEDs or RB (1:2) LEDs could significantly promote the production of shoots by protocorm-like bodies of D. officinale and increase the dry matter of PLBs and the accumulation of shoot dry matter in vitro.     

Variation and expression of KAP9.2 gene affecting cashmere trait in goats

Keratin-associated proteins 9.2 (KAP9.2) gene encodes one of the ultra high sulfur KAPs. Variation in KAP genes may affect the structure of KAPs and hence cashmere characteristics. In order to test the association between the polymorphism of KAP9.2 gene and cashmere trait, DNA sequencing was used to detect a novel C/T polymorphism of KAP9.2 gene from a genomic DNA pool. The mutation could be recognized by Pst I restriction enzyme. To Shanbei white cashmere goat, Inner Mongolia white cashmere goat and Guanzhong dairy goat, the genotypic frequencies of TT, TC and CC from total 1,236 animals were as follows: 0.047, 0.519 and 0.434; 0.180, 0.592 and 0.228; 0.431, 0.544 and 0.025. The allelic frequencies of T and C were 0.307 and 0.693; 0.476 and 0.524; 0.703 and 0.297, respectively, in breeds mentioned above. The frequency of C allele between cashmere and dairy goat was significant (P?<?0.01). To provide support for the hypothesis that SNP 586 was responsible for KAP9.2 expression, quantitative real-time PCR analysis revealed that the expression level of KAP9.2 was reduced in individuals bearing genotype CC compared with TT individuals, suggesting that C was the nucleotide causing decreased expression of KAP9.2 or was in linkage disequilibrium with the causative SNP. The 586C/T SNP found in this study might control translation or stability of KAP9.2 mRNA, which would be beneficial for marker assistant selection in cashmere goat breeding.     

Transformation of Brassica napus by using the aadA gene as selectable marker and inheritance studies of the marker genes

An Agrobacterium tumefaciens -mediated transformation system for Brassica napus has been improved. We investigated several marker genes for transformation of Brassica napus , and the aadA gene, which confers resistance to streptomycin and spectinomycin, was found to be the most suitable. Forty-three out of 193 putative transformants in the T₁ generation were investigated by Southern blot analysis. Transformants containing a range of 1 to 10 integrated T-DNA copies per genome were found. Total DNA from 35 plants showed hybridisation to both the aadA and the nptll marker gene probes, from 5 plants only to one marker gene probe and from 3 plants DNA did not hybridise to any of the gene probes. Furthermore, more complex integration patterns such as direct repeated copies of the T-DNA, both as tandem and inverted copies, were observed. Inheritance of the marker genes in the T₂ generation was studied in 37 of the plants. This revealed that 22% of the plants that contained both marker genes, segregated as one single locus (3:1) for both genes, while 46% of the plants gave a segregation pattern corresponding to one T-DNA locus for at least one of the marker genes. Moreover, these inheritance patterns appeared to be more or less independent of the number of genes seen in the Southern blot analysis of the T, generation. In this study we show that the introduced marker genes are inherited by the T; generation in a less predictable way than was earlier reported for B. napus .
