山羊草属异源多倍体植物基因组进化的ＲＡＰＤ分析

和２４个随机引物对山羊草属（Ａegilops L.)异源多倍体物种对其祖先二倍体物进行ＲＡＰＤ分析,对扩增出的３１３条带进行聚类分析发现,含Ｄ基因组的多倍体与二倍体祖先Ａe.squarrosa(DD)在聚类图上聚为一支;除Ａe.juvenalis(DDMMUU)聚到上一支外,含Ｕ基因组的多倍 与二倍体祖先Ae.umbellulata(ＵＵ）在聚类图上聚为另一支;多倍体与其他二倍体均不聚在一起,表明多倍体分别与Ａe.squarrosa(DD)、Ae.umbellulata(UU)具有较近的亲缘关系,这说明多倍体开之后,Ｄ和Ｕ基因组变化较小,而其他基因组则发生了较大的变化。     

普通小麦7B染色体两类低拷贝专化DNA序列的特性

研究表明 ,多倍体小麦基因组中存在一类低拷贝、染色体专化的DNA序列 ,其在多倍体形成时常表现出不稳定性。这类序列被认为在异源多倍体的建立和稳定中起着关键作用。为进一步研究这一问题 ,对通过染色体显微切割从普通小麦 (TriticumaestivumL .)中分离的 5个 7B染色体专化DNA序列的特性进行了研究。以这些序列为探针对大量的多倍体小麦和它们的二倍体祖先物种进行了Southern杂交分析。结果表明 ,这些序列可被分为两种类型 :其中的 4个序列与所有的多倍体物种均杂交 ,但是在二倍体水平上 ,它们却只与和多倍体小麦B基因组紧密相关的物种杂交 ,这说明这些序列是在二倍体物种分化以后产生的 ,然后垂直传递给多倍体 ;其中的 1个序列与所有的二倍体及多倍体物种均杂交 ,暗示在多倍体形成后这些序列从A和D基因组中消除了。用这一序列分别与一个人工合成的六倍体和四倍体小麦进行Southern杂交的结果表明 ,序列消除是一个迅速的事件而且很可能与这些序列的甲基化状态有关。认为这些低拷贝的染色体专化序列对于多倍体形成后部分同源染色体之间的进一步分化起着重要作用。

芸薹属多倍体植物基因组进化的RAPD分析

多倍化是促进高等植物发生进化的重要力量。为了更清楚地了解多倍体在形成之后其基因组是如何进化的,利用38个随机引物对芸薹属Brassica L.禹氏三角（U’Triangle）中的多倍体物种及其祖先二倍体物种进行了研究。根据扩增出的273条带计算了遗传距离,并用UPGMA法进行了聚类分析。结果发现,二倍体物种B.campestris（AA）与B.oleracea（CC）的亲缘关系比与B.nigra（BB）的要近;异源多倍体B.napus（AACC）比起其二倍体祖先之一B.campestris（AA）与另一个     

燕麦属细胞遗传学研究进展

整理燕麦属(Avena L.)细胞遗传学研究文献,总结相关研究进展。燕麦属有7组29种植物,分属5个基因组类型(A、C、AB、AC、ACD)。基于荧光原位杂交技术和种间杂交实验表明,A、C基因组染色体结构差异较大,A基因组二倍体物种具有等臂染色体,C基因组二倍体物种具有不等臂染色体。燕麦属植物D基因组和A基因组间分化程度较小,B基因组有可能是A基因组的变型——A′基因组。普遍观点认为A基因组二倍体物种可能是燕麦属六倍体物种母系亲本,砂燕麦(A.strigosa)为该属多倍体物种A基因组祖先的假说备受争议,有学者认为加那利燕麦(A.canariensis)可能是多倍体物种A或D基因组的供体。燕麦属多倍体物种基因组互换及染色体重排事件,增加燕麦属种间亲缘关系、多倍体物种基因组起源研究的困难。结合基因组学、分子细胞遗传学技术,有望为上述问题提供新证据。     

植物多倍体研究的回顾与展望

多倍化是促进植物进化的重要力量。多倍体主要是通过未减数配子融合,体细胞染色体加倍以及多精受精三种方式起源的。其中,不减数配子是多倍体形成的主要机制。三倍体可能在四倍体的进化中起了重要作用。过去认为多倍体只能是进化的死胡同,现在发现很多多倍体类群都是多元起源的而不是单元起源的。当多倍体形成后,基因组中的重复基因大部分保持原有的功能,也有相当比例的基因发生基因沉默。多倍体通常表现出不存在于二倍体祖先的表型,并且超出了其祖先的分布范围,因为在多倍体中发生了很多基因表达的变化。主要从多倍体的起源、影响多倍体发生的因素及多倍体基因组的进化等方面回顾并展望多倍体的研究。     

多倍体生物研究进展

多倍体是含有3套或3套以上完整染色体组的生物体,在动植物中广泛存在,是物种发生的一种重要方式.近年来的动植物基因组测序结果及相关分子系统学、生物信息学的研究,支持物种在演化过程中经历过全基因组复制的观点.多倍体的稳定性依赖于其形成后发生的基因组快速重组和基因表达调控的变化;多倍体的形成及其二倍体化过程是物种长期演化过程中的重要组成部分.多倍体可通过多种方式形成,其中,通过远缘杂交形成能产生不减数配子的杂交生物体,导致其后代染色体加倍,是快速、高效的形成多倍体的途径之一.可育多倍体的形成不仅促进了物种间的遗传物质交流,丰富了物种多样性,而且为多倍体育种奠定了基础.对多倍体生物的研究不仅具有重要的理论意义,而且有重要的应用价值.动植物多倍体育种在生产上的应用带来了显著的经济效益和社会效益.

野黄瓜与栽培黄瓜正反交异源四倍体序列消除的初步研究

不同分类群的异源多倍体在二倍化过程中, 正反交序列消除往往表现出不同特征, 暗示了在不同物种中, 核质互作在多倍体进化过程的作用不同。利用13对EcoRI-NN/MseI-NNN选择性引物, 对野黄瓜Cucumis hystrix (2n=24)与栽培黄瓜C. sativus (2n=14)的正反交F1、异源四倍体及二倍体亲本DNA进行AFLP分析。结果表明: 杂交后代基因组的杂合性诱发了F1与异源四倍体广泛的序列消除; 细胞质可能会影响部分亲本序列消除的频率, 但是正反交在序列消除频率上差异不显著, 并且在序列消除时间(均始于F1代)及消除类型上也表现出一致性, 表明核质互作并不是影响序列消除的主要因素; 实验还发现, 正反交不能影响序列的倾向性丢失, 染色体数少的黄瓜条带易发生丢失。     

Repetitive DNA variation and pivotal-differential evolution of wild wheats.

Several polyploid species in the genus Triticum contain a U genome derived from the diploid T. umbellulatum. In these species, the U genome is considered to be unmodified from the diploid based on chromosome pairing analysis, and it is referred to as pivotal. The additional genome(s) are considered to be modified, and they are thus referred to as differential genomes. The M genome derived from the diploid T. comosum is found in many U genome polyploids. In this study, we cloned three repetitive DNA sequences found primarily in the U genome and two repetitive DNA sequences found primarily in the M genome. We used these to monitor variation for these sequences in a large set of species containing U and M genomes. Investigation of sympatric and allopatric accessions of polyploid species did not show repetitive DNA similarities among sympatric species. This result does not support the idea that the polyploid species are continually exchanging genetic information through introgression. However, it is also possible that repetitive DNA is not a suitable means of addressing the question of introgression. The U genomes of both diploid and polyploid U genome species were similar regarding hybridization patterns observed with U genome probes. Much more variation was found both among diploid T. comosum accessions and polyploids containing M genomes. The observed variation supports the cytogenetic evidence that the M genome is more variable than the U genome. It also raises the possibility that the differential nature of the M genome may be due to variation within the diploid T. comosum, as well as among polyploid M genome species and accessions.     

Phylogenetic analysis of C, M, N, and U genomes and their relationships with Triticum and other related genomes as revealed by LMW-GS genes at Glu-3 loci

Phylogenetic relationships between the C, U, N, and M genomes of Aegilops species and the genomes of common wheat and other related species were investigated by using three types of low-molecular-weight glutenin subunit (LMW-GS) genes at Glu-3 loci. A total of 20 LMW-GS genes from Aegilops and Triticum species were isolated, including 11 LMW-m type and 9 LMW-i type genes. Particularly, four LMW-m type and three LMW-i type subunits encoded by the genes on the C, N, and U genomes possessed an extra cysteine residue at conserved positions, which could provide useful information for understanding phylogenetic relationships among Aegilops and Triticum genomes. Phylogenetic trees constructed by using either LMW-i or the combination of LMW-m and LMW-s, as well as analysis of all the three types of LMW-GS genes together, demonstrated that the C and U genomes were closely related to the A genome, whereas the N and M genomes were closely related to the D genome. Our results support previous findings that the A genome was derived from Triticum uratu, the B genome was from Aegilops speltoides, and the D genome was from Aegilops tauschii. In addition, phylogenetic relationships among different genomes analysed in this study support the concept that Aegilops is not monophyletic.     

Genome- and species-specific markers and genome relationships of diploid perennial species in Triticeae based on RAPD analyses.

Eight different genomes (E, H, I, P, R, St, W, and Ns) represented by 22 diploid species of the tribe Triticeae were analyzed using the random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) technique. The genome relationships were obtained based on 371 RAPD fragments produced with 30 primers. The four species of the genus Psathyrostachys (having various Ns genomes) were closely related. The genomes Ee and Eb had a similarly close relationship and were distinct from all other genomes analyzed. Genomes P, R, and St were grouped in one cluster and genomes H and I in another. Genome W had a distant relationship with all other genomes. These results agree with the conclusions from studies of chromosome pairing and isozyme and DNA sequence analyses. Twenty-nine and 11 RAPD fragments are considered to be genome- and species-specific markers, respectively. One to six genome-specific markers were identified for each genome. These RAPD markers are useful in studies of genome evolution, analysis of genome composition, and genome identification.     

山羊草属五个基本基因组系统发育的RAPD分析

Evolution of parental ITS regions of nuclear rDNA in allopolyploid Aegilops (Poaceae) species

The genus Aegilops comprises approximately 25 diploid, tetraploid and hexaploid species, in which the genome types of all allopolyploids involve either U or D genome, or both of them. The internal transcribed spacer (ITS) region of 18S-26S nuclear ribosomal DNA (rDNA) from 11 allopolyploid species and 7 related diploid species in the genus were directly sequenced by pooled PCR products. Phylogenetic analyses for tracing evolutionary patterns of parental rDNA in allopolyploid species were performed using the neighbor-joining method. The D genome involved tree included three clades (CC-DDCC, DDMM-DDMMSS-DDMMUU, and MM-MhMh-DDNN), but did not include Ae. squarrosa (DD). It indicated that the rDNA of ancestral D genome had been somewhat differentiated in allopolyploids. The U genome involved tree showed that the allopolyploids and their common ancestor, Ae. umbellulata, formed a clade, suggesting that rDNA in UUMM and UUSS genomes has been homogenizing toward that of ancestral U genome. The phylogenetic pattern of U genome based on ITS sequences also supported the "pivotal-differential" hypothesis.     

Genome sequences and evolutionary biology, a two-way interaction

Complete genome sequences are accumulating rapidly, culminating with the announcement of the human genome sequence in February 2001. In addition to cataloguing the diversity of genes and other sequences, genome sequences will provide the first detailed and complete data on gene families and genome organization, including data on evolutionary changes. Reciprocally, evolutionary biology will make important contributions to the efforts to understand functions of genes and other sequences in genomes. Large-scale, detailed and unbiased comparisons between species will illuminate the evolution of genes and genomes, and population genetics methods will enable detection of functionally important genes or sequences, including sequences that have been involved in adaptive changes.     

The origins of the genomes of Triticum biunciale,t. ovatum,t. neglectum,t. columnare,and t. rectum (poaceae) based on variation in repeated nucleotide sequences

The origins of the genomes of allotetraploid species Triticum biunciale, T. ovatum, T. neglectum, and T. columnare, and allohexaploid T. rectum were investigated by examining the presence of specific restriction fragments of repeated nucleotide sequences in DNAs of the polyploid species. The restriction fragments were detectable either in a single diploid Triticum species (unique characters) or a group of diploid species (unique shared characters). The analysis showed that Triticum biunciale and T. ovatum are closely related. In both species, one pair of genomes is closely related to the genome of T. umbellulatum and the other is a modified genome of T. comosum. The same genome formula, UUM°M°, is proposed for T. biunciale and T. ovatum. Potential reasons for the modification of the M° genome are discussed. Triticum neglectum and T. columnare are also closely related to each other and have the same genomes. They share the U genome with T. biunciale and T. ovatum, but their second pair of genomes is unrelated to the M° genome. No relationship was found of this genome to a genome of any extant diploid species of Triticum or any phylogenetic lineage leading to the extant diploid species. This unknown genome is designated X'.∗∗∗ The proposed genome formula for T. neglectum and T. columnare is UUX'X'∗∗∗. Hexaploid T. rectum originated from hybridization of one of the tetraploid species with the formula UUX'X', likely T. neglectum, with T. uniaristatum (genome N), and its genome formula is UUX'X'NN.     

利用SSR标记技术研究棉属A、D染色体组的进化

利用SSR分子标记技术,对棉属A、D染色体二倍体及四倍体代表棉种进行了遗传多样性分析。供试的10个二倍体代表棉种间遗传多态性丰富,分子聚类结果与Fryxell棉属分类结果相同。分子水平上进一步揭示出属于D染色体组的拟似棉与其他D染色体组棉种的相似系数最低,A,D染色体组间相似系数很高,该结果支持拟全民族似棉是D染色体组最原始棉种,棉属不同染色体组是共同起源,单元进化的理论,利用栽培的异源四倍体棉种不太适于研究棉属A、D染色体组的进化。
