基于ISSR分子标记的孑遗濒危植物四合木遗传结构分析

为阐明中国西北干旱区单属种孑遗濒危植物四合木(Tetraena mongolica)种群间的遗传分化和基因流。利用6个不同地理分布的四合木种群作为试验材料,从30条UBC引物中筛选出6条引物,并且对ISSR扩增反应体系和扩增程序进行了合理的优化,6个引物扩增出370个条带,多态性条带占71%。分析结果如下:①Nei’s基因多样性指数(He)为0. 316 8,Shannon’s多态性信息指数(I)为0. 458 6。表明四合木在不同种源间的遗传多样性水平差异较小;②群体多态性位点百分率在70. 00%~83. 33%,Nei’s基因多样性指数范围0. 286 5~0. 350 8,Shannon’s多态性信息指数在0. 423 6~0. 504 9。6个群体间的遗传分化系数Gst为0. 125 3,表明群体间具有一定程度的遗传分化;③6个种群的基因流(Nm)为3. 491 5>1,说明6个种群间存在一定的基因流,可以防止遗传漂变引起的遗传分化;④通过聚类分析,将6个不同地理种群的四合木分为3类,千里沟种群、伊克布拉格种群和巴拉贡种群先聚成第一大类,再与磴口—桃司兔种群聚成第二大类,而四合木自然保护区种群和甘德尔山种群则组成第大三类,这说明距离因素是影响四合木种群间遗传分化的主要原因,但不同生境条件也对四合木种群的遗传分化产生了影响。

Low genetic diversity and high genetic differentiation in the critically endangered Omphalogramma souliei (Primulaceae):implications for its conservation

Omphalogramma souliei Franch. Is an endangered perennial herb only distributed in alpine areas of SW China. ISSR markers were applied to determine the genetic variation and genetic structure of 60 individuals of three populations of O. Souliei in NW Yunnan, China. The genetic diversity at the species level is low with P= 42.5% (percentage of polymorphic bands) and Hsp=0.1762 (total genetic diversity). However, a high level of genetic differentiation among populations was detected based on different measures (Nei's genetic diversity analysis: Gst=0.6038; AMOVA analysis: Fst=0.6797). Low level of genetic diversity within populations and significant genetic differentiation among populations might be due to the mixed mating system in which xenog-amy predominated and autogamy played an assistant role in O. Souliei. The genetic drift due to small population size and limited current gene flow also resulted in significant genetic differentiation. The assessment of genetic variation and differentiation of the endangered species provides important information for conservation on a genetic basis. Conservation strategies for this rare endemic species are proposed.

承德光秃山不同海拔油松居群遗传多样性

为了解光秃山不同海拔下天然油松居群之间的遗传差异及探求遗传多样性与土壤因子的关联,为油松种源筛选和管理提供参考,本研究运用ISSR技术,对位于河北承德辽河源光秃山4个不同海拔油松天然居群共118个植株个体的遗传多样性进行分析。13个引物共扩增出177条清晰的条带,种群多态位点百分比(PPL)为60.2775%,Nei’s基因多样性指数(h)为0.2171,Shannon信息指数(I)为0.3222;不同种群遗传变异水平随海拔差异呈规律性变化,表现为沿海拔升高而呈低-高-低的分布规律,其中1354～1274 m范围的遗传多样性水平最高;在物种水平上油松具有较高的遗传多样性(PPL=98.33%,h=0.38142,I=0.5550),种群间的遗传分化系数Gst=0.6562。利用AMOVA软件对遗传变异的等级剖分结果表明,种群间有显著的遗传分化,约2/5的遗传变异存在种群间,种群内占3/5。Pearson相关分析表明,油松居群内遗传多样性与海拔、土壤养分(有机质、速效磷、速效钾含量)之间存在显著或一定的相关关系。Mantel检验结果显示,油松居群遗传距离与海拔差距、土壤养分因子的分异存在一定相关性。以上结果表明不同海拔区域的生态因子、低基因流等对油松居群间的遗传分化影响较大。     

Species diversity and population density affect genetic structure and gene dispersal in a subtropical understory shrub

Aims The dispersal of pollen and seeds is spatially restricted and may vary among plant populations because of varying biotic interactions, population histories or abiotic conditions. Because gene dispersal is spatially restricted, it will eventually result in the development of spatial genetic structure (SGS), which in turn can allow insights into gene dispersal processes. Here, we assessed the effect of habitat characteristics like population density and community structure on small-scale SGS and estimate historical gene dispersal at different spatial scales.Methods In a set of 12 populations of the subtropical understory shrub Ardisia crenata, we assessed genetic variation at 7 microsatellite loci within and among populations. We investigated small-scale genetic structure with spatial genetic autocorrelation statistics and heterogeneity tests and estimated gene dispersal distances based on population differentiation and on within-population SGS. SGS was related to habitat characteristics by multiple regression.Important findings The populations showed high genetic diversity (H e = 0.64) within populations and rather strong genetic differentiation (F ′ ST = 0.208) among populations, following an isolation-by-distance pattern, which suggests that populations are in gene flow–drift equilibrium. Significant SGS was present within populations (mean Sp = 0.027). Population density and species diversity had a joint effect on SGS with low population density and high species diversity leading to stronger small-scale SGS. Estimates of historical gene dispersal from between-population differentiation and from within-population SGS resulted in similar values between 4.8 and 22.9 m. The results indicate that local-ranged pollen dispersal and inefficient long-distance seed dispersal, both affected by population density and species diversity, contributed to the genetic population structure of the species. We suggest that SGS in shrubs is more similar to that of herbs than to trees and that in communities with high species diversity gene flow is more restricted than at low species diversity. This may represent a process that retards the development of a positive species diversity–genetic diversity relationship.     

Genetic diversity and genetic relationship of Caragana microphylla, Caragana davazamcii and Caragana korshinskii on the Inner Mongolia Plateau, China

C. microphylla, C. davazamcii and C. korshinskii exhibit a geographical replacement series from east to west on the Inner Mongolia Plateau. Currently, there is still a debate about the taxonomic and genetic relationship among these 3 species. We studied the genetic diversity and genetic relationship among these 3 species by analyzing DNA samples of individual plants from within 10 populations with random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) markers. We identified 678 RAPD loci in total, of which all were polymorphic (PPB = 100%). There were 41 unique loci (6.05%). In general, a trend presented that the genetic diversity of these species decreased from east to west. Further, the genetic diversity was significantly negatively correlated with the local annual mean temperature. Analysis of molecular variation (AMOVA) showed that the genetic variation among these 3 species was only 6.08% of the total genetic variation. Between the species, the genetic variation was insignificant (P = 0.9961). The proportion of genetic variation among populations within each species was 11.90% (P < 0.001) of the total genetic variation, and the total genetic variation mainly existed within the populations (82.02%). Estimated with Shannon's index, genetic differentiation within the populations (Hpop/Hsp) was 0.8013, the coefficient of gene differentiation (Gst) was 0.1603, and the gene flow index (Nm) was 2.6192. This, thus, indicates that there is relatively high gene flow among these populations, and that these 3 species are crossbreeding. The genetic diversity level and the population distribution pattern showed geographic continuity to some extent.     

中华猕猴桃和美味猕猴桃自然居群遗传结构及其种间杂交渐渗

 利用9对SSR引物对中华猕猴桃（Actinidia chinensis）和美味猕猴桃（A. deliciosa）两近缘种的5个同域分布复合体和各自1个非同域分布居群进行了遗传多样性、居群遗传结构的分析以及种间杂交渐渗的探讨。结果表明：1）两物种共有等位基因比例高达81.13%,物种特有等位基因较少（中华猕猴桃：13.27%,美味猕猴桃：5.61%）,但共享等位基因表型频率在两近缘种间存在差异,而且与各同域复合体中两物种样本的交错程度或间距存在关联;2）两种猕猴桃均具有极高遗传多样性,美味猕猴桃的遗传多样性（H_o＝0 .749, PIC＝0.818）都略高于中华猕猴桃（H_o＝0.686,PIC＝0.799）;3）两猕 猴桃物种均具有较低的Nei’s居群遗传分化度,但AMOVA分析结果揭示种内异域居群间（F_ST=0.091 5）和同域复合体种间（F_ST=0.111 5）均存在一定程度的遗传分化;中华猕猴桃居群遗传分化（G_ST=0.086; F_ST=0.212 1）高于美味猕猴桃（G_ST= 0.080;F_ST=0.142 0）;4）同域分布复合体两物种间的遗传分化（G_ST=0.020）低于物种内异域居群间的遗传分化（中华猕猴桃：G_ST=0.086; 美味猕猴桃：G_ST=0.080）,同域复合体物种间的基因流（N_m＝7.89 -29.75）远远高于 同种异域居群间（中华猕猴桃：N_m =2.663; 美味猕猴桃：N_m=2.880）; 5）居群UPGMA聚类揭示在同一地域的居群优先聚类,个体聚类结果显示多数个体聚在各自居群组内,但各地理居群并不按地理距离的远近聚类,这与Mantel相关性检测所揭示的居群间遗传距离与地理距离没有显著性相关的结果一致。进一步分析表明两种猕猴桃的遗传多样性和居群遗传结构不仅受其广域分布、远交、晚期分化等生活史特性的影响,同时还与猕猴桃的染色体基数高 (x=29)、倍性复杂和种间杂交等因素密切相关,其中两种猕猴桃的共享祖先多态性和同域分布种间杂交基因渗透对两猕猴桃的居群遗传结构产生了重要影响。

Low genetic structure in an epiphytic Orchidaceae (Oncidium hookeri) in the Atlantic rainforest of South-eastern Brazil

BACKGROUND AND AIMS: Oncidium hookeri is a neotropical species of epiphytic Orchidaceae found in the Brazilian Atlantic rainforest at the top of the Mantiqueira Range of mountains. The genetic variation of O. hookeri was studied to assess the distribution of genetic variability within and among six populations localized in Atlantic rainforest remnants. Gene flow among populations and the occurrence of recent bottlenecks were investigated in order to infer the degree of isolation of these populations. METHODS: Thirteen polymorphic loci were used for allozyme electrophoresis. The data were analysed by means of standard statistical approaches, to estimate gene diversity and the genetic structure of the populations. KEY RESULTS: The mean gene diversity and allelic richness were H(e) = 0.099 and A = 1.75, respectively. F-statistics revealed high heterozygote deficiencies in all populations (F(IS) = 0.43-0.82). Several rare alleles were found in all the populations, and three populations presented private alleles. Low genetic differentiation among O. hookeri populations was detected (F(ST) = 0.029); natural selection may be involved in PGM locus differentiation among populations. The genetic differentiation between paired populations was low, bearing no correlation with geographic distance (Mantel test: r = -0.34, P = 0.72). Only two populations showed signs of recent bottlenecks. CONCLUSIONS: The heterozygote deficiency found seems to be caused by pollinator behaviour; the low frequencies of several alleles of different loci can be maintained due to clonal propagation. Despite the stochastic nature of the wind-dispersal of seeds to long distances, this process may promote an effective gene flow among populations, thus avoiding genetic differentiation.     

Genetic structure of brown trout, salmo trutta l., at the southern limit of the distribution range of the anadromous form

Genetic variation at 33 protein loci was investigated in 41 wild brown trout populations from four river basins in Galicia (northwest Spain) to analyse the amount and distribution of genetic diversity in a marginal area, located in the distribution limit of the anadromous form of this species. The genetic diversity detected within populations (H between 0 and 6%) lies within the range quoted for this species in previous reports. The Mino, the most southern river basin analysed, showed a significantly lower genetic diversity and the highest genetic differentiation among the river basins studied. The hierarchical gene diversity analysis showed high population differentiation in a restricted area (GST = 27%), mostly due to differences among populations within basins (GSC = 22%). The reduction of GST observed when the isolated samples were excluded from the analysis (GST = 17%) showed the importance of habitat fragmentation on the heterogeneity detected. Gene flow among populations was comparatively evaluated by three indirect methods, which in general revealed low figures of absolute number of migrants per generation, slightly higher than 1. The gene flow among basins reflected a positive relationship with geographical distance. This trend was confirmed by the significant correlation observed between geographical and genetic distances, including all population pairs, which suggests a component of isolation by distance in brown trout genetic structure. Nevertheless, the nonsignificant intrabasin correlation demonstrates the complexity of genetic relationships among populations in this species. The model of genetic structure in brown trout is discussed in the light of the results obtained.
