贵州苏铁遗传多样性研究

贵州苏铁 (Cycasguizhouensis)是我国一级保护植物。尽管其分布区仅限于滇、桂、黔三省交界的南盘江流域 ,却是中国苏铁属植物中分布最广的一个种。同时 ,它也是我国少数几种分布在北回归线以北的苏铁植物之一 ,对古植物和古气候等有着极为重要的研究价值 (杨成华等 ,1 996)。贵州苏铁像其它苏铁植物一样已经经历了两亿多年的沧桑巨变 ,但近几十年以来 ,由于生境片段化和人为的直接破坏 ,其居群和个体数目急剧减少 ,濒危状态日益严重。贵州苏铁的形态、分布、生态和繁殖等方面的研究已有报道 (杨成华等 ,1 996 ;邓朝义 ,1 999) ,但有关其遗…     

微卫星位点筛选方法综述

微卫星标记因其丰富的多态性和共显性等特点,已得到了广泛的应用.应用微卫星标记首先需要获得微卫星位点的序列信息,用来设计引物.获得微卫星位点的方法有多种,本文综述了获得和富集微卫星位点的常用方法.最简便、最省时的方法是从公共数据库(如EMBL、Genbank、EST数据库等)或已发表的文献中查找到微卫星位点,但只限于已经有序列数据发布的物种.第二种方法是种间转移扩增,即从相近物种的数据库中查找微卫星位点,或使用已有数据发表的遗传距离相近物种的微卫星标记.第三种方法是从基因组DNA中筛选微卫星位点,其中用于富集微卫星的方法有引物法、磁珠杂交法、尼龙膜杂交法以及RAPD技术法.

Eighteen microsatellite loci in Salix arbutifolia (Salicaceae) and cross-species amplification in Salix and Populus species

Salix arbutifolia is a riparian dioecious tree species that is of conservation concern in Japan because of its highly restricted distribution. Eighteen polymorphic loci of dinucleotide microsatellites were isolated and characterized. Among these, estimates of the expected heterozygosity ranged from 0.350 to 0.879. Cross-species amplification was successful at 9-13 loci among six Salix species and at three loci in one Populus species.     

Isolation and characterization of microsatellite markers for Pinellia ternata and cross-species amplification

In this study, we isolated and characterized 12 microsatellite loci for Pinellia ternata. Polymorphism of these 12 loci was assessed in 46 individuals collected from two wild populations. All the loci were polymorphic with four to 13 alleles per locus and the observed and expected heterozygosities ranged from 0.312 to 0.680 and from 0.506 to 0.734, respectively. None of the loci showed significant deviation from Hardy–Weinberg equilibrium (P < 0.05). No significant linkage disequilibrium was observed between pairs of studied loci. In addition, most markers amplified successfully in three closely related taxa that are Pinellia cordata, P. peltata and P. pedatisecta. These microsatellite markers could provide a useful tool for genetic structure studies of the Pinellia species.     

Biological characteristics of wild Cycas fairylakea population in Guangdong Province, China

There are five wild populations of Cycas fairylakea in Guangdong Province, China, three of which are newly found. A study of the biological characteristics of C. fairylakea populations showed that this species had a narrow colonization area within 300 hm², and an island pattern of distribution. Because of the overexploitation, urbanization, environment pollution, plant diseases, and insect pests, the wild populations and individuals of C. fairylakea decreased markedly in the past decades. All five populations have an opposite pyramid age structure, few coning plants, few seed production, and low level of seed germination rate or sterility. In conclusion, C. fairylakea in Guangdong Province was threatened seriously and an urgent need to take effective efforts to protect the plants and habitats in its location sites was required. __________ Translated from Acta Scientiarum Naturalium Universitatis Sunyatseni, 2005, 44(6): 97–100 [译自: 中山大学学报 (自然科学版), 2006, 44(6): 97–100]     

Polymorphic heterologous microsatellite loci for population genetics studies of the white-faced ibis Plegadis chihi (Vieillot, 1817) (Pelecaniformes, Threskiornithidae)

We screened 44 heterologous microsatellites isolated in species of the families Threskiornithidae, Ciconiidae and Ardeidae for their use in a migratory waterbird, the white-faced ibis Plegadis chihi (Vieillot, 1817) (Threskiornithidae). Of the screened loci, 57% amplified successfully and 24% were polymorphic. In two breeding colonies from southern Brazil (N = 131) we detected 32 alleles (2-10 alleles/locus). Average He over all loci and colonies was 0.55, and the combined probability of excluding false parents, 98%. There was no departure from HWE in any loci or population. Eru6 and Eru4 loci were in non-random association in the Alvorada colony, and NnNF5 and Eru5 in both populations. AMOVA analysis indicated that most of the genetic diversity was contained within populations. Structure analysis suggested a single population, and F(ST) value showed weak genetic structuring (F(ST) = 0.009, p = 0.05). The two populations are apparently connected through gene-flow. The panel of six microsatellites optimized here was sufficiently informative for characterizing the genetic diversity and structure in these natural populations of the white-faced ibis. The information generated could be useful in future studies of genetic diversity, relatedness and the mating system in Plegadis chihi and related species.     

Cross-species amplification of Eucalyptus microsatellite loci

This study examined the interspecific amplification of nuclear microsatellite loci developed mainly for eucalypts in the subgenus Symphyomyrtus across five species within the second most speciose subgenus, subgenus Eucalyptus. A set of eight to 10 loci, depending on taxon, have been identified that are highly variable and easily scored. The successful transfer of microsatellite loci to these eucalypt species sidesteps the expensive and time-consuming development of species-specific microsatellite libraries. This primer set will enable the examination and cross-species comparison of the genetic resources of commercially and ecologically important members of the subgenus Eucalyptus.     

Isolation and characterization of microsatellite loci in Merluccius australis and cross-species amplification

Eight novel and two heterologous microsatellite pairs of primers are presented for the Austral hake (Merluccius australis), representing the first microsatellite markers available for this species. Loci were characterized for 50 individuals from two populations in South America (Argentinean and Chilean coasts). All loci were polymorphic within M. australis (5 to 30 alleles per locus; observed heterozygosity between 0.320 and 0.840), and therefore useful for population genetic studies within the species. Cross-species transferability was tested for 100 individuals from four additional species within the Merluccius genus (M. albidus, M. bilinearis, M. gayi and M. hubbsi), and results indicate that most of these primers pairs will likely be useful for population genetic studies on Merluccius species.     

使用林鹳微卫星引物对东方白鹳基因组DNA进行交叉扩增

利用林鹳11个微卫星位点的引物对东方白鹳进行交叉扩增。经过PCR体系的优化,在11个位点中有6个得到清晰的扩增条带,其余5位点得不到确切的扩增产物。对上述6个位点的扩增产物进行克隆测序分析,发现其中4个位点上的扩增产物含有微卫星重复序列,而另外两个位点中无重复单元。通过基因分型对上述4个微卫星位点进行多态性分析后发现其中的WSμ13,WSμ17位点分别为高度多态和中度多态位点,而另外两个位点则无多态性。同时还对影响交叉扩增结果成功率及微卫星位点多态性的因素进行了分析和总结。     

Isolation and characterization of microsatellite loci in endangered Cycas changjiangensis (Cycadaceae)

Eight microsatellite loci were isolated from repetitive DNA enriched libraries for Cycas changjiangensis, an endangered endemic species in Hainan Island, China. The number of allele ranged from three to seven. The observed (H _O) and expected (H _E) heterozygosities ranged from 0.0000 to 0.8750 and from 0.2359 to 0.7582, respectively. These microsatellite loci will enrich our scientific understanding for C. changjiangensis conservation.
