中国大豆疫霉菌遗传多样性的RAPD分析

采用随机扩增多态性DNA(RAPD)技术,利用13个引物对75个中国大豆疫霉菌分离物和11个美国分离物进行PCR扩增。在78个RAPD标记中,多态性标记为68个,占87.2%。RAPD指纹聚类分析表明,当以相异距离0.3为阈值,86个分离物被划为12个RAPD遗传组,其中J组有54个分离物,占总数的62.8%,包括44个中国分离物和10个美国分离物。在中国大豆疫霉菌群体内,多数分离物之间遗传相似性较低,在DNA水平上存在显著的遗传变异,具有较丰富的遗传多样性。RAPD分组结果未表明大豆疫霉菌DNA多态性特征与病原菌毒力基因构成之间和分离物地理来源之间存在相关性,证明中国不同地区的大豆疫霉菌群体在与大豆品种的互作中发生了广泛的遗传变异,具有DNA遗传进化方向和毒力基因演变的多样性。美国大豆疫霉菌分离物间遗传距离较近,而中国分离物在总体上与美国分离物的遗传距离较远,表明中国大豆疫霉菌具有比较独特的遗传背景。

Specific molecular detection of Phytophthora sojae using conventional and real-time PCR

Phytophthora rot, caused by Phytophthora sojae, is one of the most damaging diseases of soybean (Glycine max) worldwide. This disease can be difficult to diagnose and other Phytophthora species can infect soybean. Accurate diagnosis is important for management of Phytophthora rot. The objective of this study was to evaluate polymerase chain reaction (PCR) methods for rapid and specific detection of P. sojae and diagnosis of Phytophthora rot. PCR assays using two sets of primers (PS and PSOJ) that target the ITS region were evaluated for specificity and sensitivity to P. sojae. Genomic DNA extracted from 11 species of Phytophthora and 19 other species of fungal and oomycete pathogens were used to test the specificity of each primer set. The previously published PS primers amplified DNA from P.?sojae and from four other Phytophthora species using conventional PCR, indicating they are not specific for P. sojae. The new PSOJ primers amplified DNA only from P. sojae using conventional and real-time PCR and not from Phytophthora sansomeana, which has been found in soybean production areas, indicating that they are specific for P. sojae. The PSOJ primers were also used to detect P. sojae in diseased soybean tissue and infested soil. The PCR assays based on the PSOJ primers are specific, rapid, and sensitive tools for the detection of P. sojae.     

安徽和黑龙江省大豆疫霉群体遗传结构的SSR分析

采用简单重复序列(SSR)的分析方法,对来自安徽和黑龙江省的大豆疫霉群体进行了遗传多样性分析。通过使用20对SSR引物对供试的83株大豆疫霉菌株进行PCR扩增,共得到109个SSR标记,全部为多态性标记,平均每对引物扩增出5.5条带。遗传变异与相似性分析表明,安徽群体具有更高的遗传变异度,安徽群体与黑龙江群体间遗传相似性较低;聚类分析显示,供试菌株在80%的相似性水平上可被区分为7个类群,且安徽群体分布于更多的聚类组中;Shannon-Wiener多样性指数也表明安徽群体的遗传多样性较黑龙江群体丰富。综合分析表明,本研究的结果不支持关于安徽的大豆疫霉可能来源于黑龙江的推测。     

Aggressiveness and diversity of Phytophthora capsici on vegetable crops in Georgia

Phytophthora blight induced by Phytophthora capsici causes significant yield loss in a number of vegetable crops. It is imperative to understand the diversity and aggressiveness of the pathogen to design more efficient disease management programs. A collection of P. capsici strains isolated from different vegetable crops in Georgia, USA, were characterised in this study. Of the 49 isolates tested, 24 were A1 and 25 were A2 mating type, respectively, with both mating types found in the same fields. Variability of the isolates was assessed in terms of their aggressiveness on six pepper genotypes. The isolates differed in their aggressiveness on different pepper cultivars with 10 pathotypes identified. No correlation between aggressiveness of the isolates and their host origin or geographical location of isolation was observed. Randomly amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) analysis was used to evaluate genetic variability among P. capsici populations. RAPD analysis using 15 random primers resulted in 133 reproducible bands and cluster analysis separated the isolates into 5 groups. Analysis of molecular variance showed that there was moderate genetic differentiation associated with host origin and geographical location of the isolates. No correlation was found between RAPD groups and pathotypes or mating types. These results indicate that P. capsici populations infecting vegetable crops in Georgia were genetically diverse, which should be taken into account in developing resistant cultivars or other disease management programmes.

Genetic variation in Drechslera teres populations as indicated by RAPD markers

Random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) was used to assess genetic variation among 48 isolates of Drechslera teres originating from different sites in Finland. RAPD profiles were generated with five arbitrary 10-mer primers and revealed polymorphisms suitable for screening differentiation in this fungal population. Using UPGMA clustering analysis, a similarity coefficient of approximately 63% was observed between all D. teres isolates studied. The variation was, however, distributed on a small scale as different genotypes were found from the same plant. The isolates could not be grouped according to geographic origin, aggressiveness, growth rate or morphological features, indicating that the primers used in this study were neutral markers for these characters. The primers were, however, able to differentiate between isolates of Helminthosporium species (D. teres, Drechslera graminea and Bipolaris sorokiniana).     

Characterization of Moroccan Isolates of Verticillium dahliaeKleb Using RAPD Markers

Isolates of Verticillium dahliae were sampled from different olive tree orchards in Morocco. These olive trees were located in different commercial culture locations in southern, central and northern Morocco. The isolates were characterized using genetic markers obtained after their DNA PCR amplification with random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) primers. Among the 40 primers tested, 10 generated a total of 66 polymorphic fragments. Among the 38 isolates of V. dahliae tested, RAPD markers were successful in the characterization of groups based on their geographic origin. With the exception of one specific isolate, no correlation could be established among the isolates, based on the morphological appearance of the colony in culture.     

Genotypic Diversity among Brazilian Isolates of Sclerotium rolfsii

Thirty isolates of Sclerotium rolfsii Sacc. from different hosts and regions of Brazil were studied in relation to morphology, mycelial compatibility, analysis of genomic DNA through random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD), variation within the nuclear rDNA [internal transcribed spacers (ITS)] and sequencing of ITS fragments. There was considerable variability among isolates in relation to the number, size and location of sclerotia on the medium surface. Thirteen mycelial compatibility groups (MCG) were identified among 23 isolates. Seven isolates were only self‐compatible. With the exception of group 3, where all the isolates came from soybean, there was no apparent correlation between group and isolate origin. On the basis of RAPD profiles, 11 haplotypes (A to K) were identified. There was an association between the RAPD groups and MCG. Haplotypes A, B, D, G, I and K belonged to MCG groups 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6, respectively. All other RAPD haplotypes contained incompatible isolates. Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) amplification with primers 4R and 5F amplified two fragments containing ITS1, ITS2 and 5.8 S rDNA sequences, that were present in all isolates, with molecular sizes of 739 and 715 bp. Restriction analysis of PCR products showed that the two fragments had sequence divergency which is referred to as ‘ITS types’. Four arbitrarily chosen soybean isolates (2, 6, 7 and 23) and two non‐soybean isolates (11 and 22) were used to investigate the variation within the ITS sequence and its role in the phylogeny. The strict consensus of nine most‐parsimonious trees inferred from the data set which included six isolates of S. rolfsii, four of which have two different ‘ITS types’, showed three well‐supported groupings. The neighbour‐joining tree inferred from the data set also showed three major clades as did the parsimony tree. The major difference was that in the neighbour‐joining tree the ‘ITS type’ 11 was resolved and grouped in one clade. These results show that the ‘ITS types’ within isolates are almost always phylogenetically distinct. There was no clear correlation between ITS‐based phylogeny and isolate origin.

Isozyme and PCR-based genotyping of epidemic Phytophthora colocasiae associated with taro leaf blight

The Oomycetous fungus Phytophthora colocasiae causing leaf blight of taro is widely distributed in India. Wide geographic range or sexual recombination provides genetic differentiation within this species. To determine how genetic variation is partitioned in P. colocasiae, 14 isolates were isolated from different regions of India, where the incidence of leaf blight is great. Molecular and biochemical techniques were employed for assessing and exploiting the genetic variability among isolates of P. colocasiae. Seven polymorphic enzyme systems revealed 23 isozyme patterns, each uniquely characterised by the presence or absence of electromorphs. Further, 10 oligodeoxynucleotide primers were selected for random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) assays, which resulted in 123 polymorphic bands for 10 isolates of P. colocasiae. The data were entered into a binary matrix and a similarity matrix was constructed using a DICE similarity (SD) index. A UPGMA cluster based on SD values was generated using a NTSYS computer program. Shannon's index was used to partition genetic diversity. Similarly, isozymes and RAPDs yielded high estimates of genetic variability. Genetic diversity estimates via isozyme and RAPD pattern indicated 78.26% and 100%, respectively, total diversity among populations. This type of genetic variation in P. colocasiae indicates that variation due to asexual and/or possibly infrequent sexual mechanisms is possible and that genetic differentiation has taken place as a result of geographic isolation. The presence of larger than expected RAPD variation in isolates of P. colocasiae and the presence of distinct different zymotypes among these isolates suggests that genetic recombination (or less likely hybridisation) is at least possible in this fungus and that geographic differentiation has taken place. Even isolates obtained from the same habitat have different RAPD patterns, indicating that many populations of this fungus are made up of more than one genet and that few are derived clonally.     

Diversity among Single Zoospore Isolates Derived from Single-zoosporangia of Phytophthora sojae Kauf. and Gerd

Phytophthora sojae Kauf. and Gerd, a host specific pathogen to soybean, causes pre and postemergence damping-off and root and stem rot on soybean. The pathogen evokes severe yield losses in most soybean growing areas worldwide. The objective of this study was to determine phenotypic and genotypic diversity among single zoospore isolates (SZIs) originating from two single zoosporangia (Ps411-1 and Ps411-2) derived from the same parental isolate of P . sojae Ps411. Results showed that colony morphology and growth rate of 32 SZIs derived from sporangium Ps411-1 and 35 SZIs released from sporangium Ps411-2 did not significantly differ from the parental isolate Ps411. Pathogenicity of the SZIs was tested on three resistant and three susceptible Chinese soybean cultivars. While the majority of SZIs derived from sporangium Ps411-1(59.4%) and sporangium Ps411-2(71.4%) retained the same virulence spectrum as the parental isolate, the other SZIs of both progenies demonstrated either a higher or a lower level of virulence compared to that of parental isolate. A low level genetic variability in the populations of both single zoospore progenies was also demonstrated using the sequence-related amplified polymorphism (SRAP) technique. Cluster analysis separated the SZIs from both zoosporangia, Ps411-1 and Ps411-2, into four and three SRAP groups, respectively. No close correlation among SRAP and virulence could be established among SZIs. The results of this study suggest that virulence variability may be regarded as part of the total genetic changes among the zoospore progenies derived from single-zoosporangia. The pathogenic variability during asexual reproduction may play a role in changing the virulence structure of P . sojae .     

Genetic diversity and mycelial compatibility groups of the plant-pathogenic fungus Sclerotinia sclerotiorum in Brazil

The genetic variability of 40 Sclerotinia sclerotiorum isolates from various fields widely distributed throughout Brazil and different host crops was analyzed using RAPD markers and mycelial compatibility groupings (MCGs). The isolates were characterized using 16 random primers of the OPERON series, which produced 121 DNA fragments. UPGMA cluster analysis using Jaccard's genetic distance and MCGs allowed separation of the isolates into three clusters, with similarity indices of 68.2, 61.8, and 61.8%, and five MCGs. The haplotypes obtained with RAPD markers provided very characteristic groupings of S. sclerotiorum isolates according to MCG, but did not show any relationship with geographic origin or host type. Furthermore, analysis of molecular variance demonstrated that 99.1% of the observed variation was a result of genetic differences between individuals; the host culture did not have a significant effect. This is the first report of high level variability of S. sclerotiorum in Brazil based on the study of isolates of wide geographical origin, supported by RAPD markers and MCGs. These results endorse the prevalence of sexual reproduction in tropical and subtropical regions in contrast to clonal reproduction in temperate regions.     

Detection of genetic variability in various isolates of cattle tick, <Emphasis Type="Italic">Boophilus microplus</Emphasis> from Tamil Nadu,India using PCR-RAPD analysis

The genomic DNA from ten isolates of the cattle tick, Boophilus microplus collected in and around Chennai, India, was analyzed by random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) using PCR. Selected five random primers were used for the study of genetic variability among different isolates of B. microplus. A high degree of genetic polymorphism with a different pattern of RAPD profiles for each tick isolate was detected with all these random primers. This variability was also confirmed by similarity coefficient values and dendrogram which were performed using mean RAPD profiles for all the primers between various isolates of ticks. The findings suggest the existence of a complex genotypic diversity of the tick B. microplus in an endemic region such as Chennai.     

Genetic diversity and differentiation of Indian isolates of Phytophthora infestans as revealed by RAPD analysis

Sixty-seven isolates of Phytophthora infestans collected from Himalayan hill regions and subtropical planes of India were characterized by RAPD markers to assess diversity and differentiation based on location of origin. Ten random decamer primers generated 161 polymorphic fragments. Association of P. infestans isolates on the dendrogram and PCO plot revealed two clear grouping based on geographical location of origin-hill isolates and plane isolates. Quantification of diversity by Shannon index of diversity analysis demonstrated that most of the diversity was present with a particular population (hill or plane) of P. infestans isolates, with 85% variation being within and 15% being between hill and plane isolates. Subtropical plane isolates of P. infestans exhibited higher variability compared to hill isolates and they were more dispersed on the PCO plot. No clear differentiation of isolates based on mating type was reflected on the dendrogram and PCO plot.     

Variation Within and Between Phytophthora Species from Rubber and Citrus Trees in China, Determined by Polymerase Chain Reaction Using RAPDs

Variation among 39 isolates of Phytophthora of six morphological species (P. citrophthora. P. parasitka, P. capsici, P. palmivora and P. meadii. from rubber and citrus trees, and P. colocasiae from taro) was studied using random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) analysis. Ten randomly-chosen 10-mer primers were used. Generally, the banding patterns were similar within species and different between species, but no one primer was able to distinguish all six species from one another. Cluster analysis on pooled data from all the primers gave six groups of isolates corresponding to the six morphological species. The group corresponding to P. citrophthora was divided further into subgroups that were related to host species and geographical location. This work confirmed the existing morphological classification of Phytophthora isolates from rubber and citrus trees in tropical China and showed the validity of using RAPDs to study the taxonomy of Phytophthora.
