白木香遗传多样性研究

用ISSR分子标记技术对白木香(Aquilaria sinensis(Lour.)Gilg)的遗传多样性进行分析.结果表明,白木香物种水平的遗传多样性较高,而居群水平的遗传多样性相对较低,其中广东茂名居群的遗传多样性最高.白木香居群间存在较大的遗传分化,遗传分化系数G_(ST)=0.4425,表明居群内遗传分化大于居群间的分化.UPGMA聚类分析表明白木香分化为两个谱系,其中谱系Ⅰ由广东、福建、海南的5居群组成,谱系Ⅱ由广西、云南的3个居群组成.居群间的基因交流受到阻碍(Nm=0.6633<1),阻碍主要产生于两个谱系间,而谱系内部的居群间在较近的历史时期基因交流频繁(Nm分别为1.4382和1.2333),谱系分化的原因主要是地理因素,两谱系交界处有云开山脉等形成的天然屏障,阻碍物种的扩展和基因交流.

Genetic differentiation among Hemarthria compressa populations in south China and its genetic relationship with H. japonica

Within and among populations genetic variance of twelve Hemarthria compressa populations and one Hemarthria japonica population from China were analyzed using inter simple sequence repeat (ISSR). Twelve primers amplified a total of 165 genomic DNA fragments across a total of 148 individuals of which 156 were polymorphic (94.55%). 75.76% of the bands were unique to each species, while the average genetic distance (GD) between one population of H. japonica and twelve populations of H. compressa was 0.44, which suggest that there was distinct differentiation between these two species. In H. compressa, twelve primers produced 145 bands across 145 individuals. High genetic diversity was observed at species level. The percentage of polymorphic loci (P) was 86.21% and Shannon's information index of diversity (I) was 0.357. In contrast, there were relatively low levels of genetic diversity within population (P=32.93%, I=0.174). Analysis of molecular variance (AMOVA) showed that a considerable proportion of genetic variation (48.02%) resided among populations. The coefficient of gene differentiation (G(ST)=48.6%) also suggested that there was strong genetic differentiation among H. compressa populations in southern China. An indirect estimate of the number of migrants per generation (N(m)=0.264) indicated that gene flow was low among populations of this species. Relative high clonal diversity was found, and all local genotypes were found.     

Population genetic structure of the medicinal plant Vitex rotundifolia in China: implications for its use and conservation

Vitexrotundifolia L.is an important plant species used in traditional Chinese medicine.For its efficient use and conservation,genetic diversity and clonal variation of V.rotundifolia populations in China were investigated using inter-simple sequence repeat markers.Fourteen natural populations were included to estimate genetic diversity,and a large population with 135 individuals was used to analyze clonal variation and fine-scale spatial genetic structure.The overall genetic diversity (GD) of V.rotundifolia populations in China was moderate (GD=0.190),with about 40% within-population variation.Across all populations surveyed,the average within-population diversity was moderate (P = 22.6%; GD = 0.086).A relatively high genetic differentiation (Gst=0.587)among populations was detected based on the analysis of molecular variance data.Such characteristics of V.rotundifolia are likely attributed to its sexual/asexual reproduction and limited gene flow.The genotypic diversity (D=0.992) was greater than the average values of a clonal plant,indicating its significant reproduction through seedlings.Spatial autocorrelation analysis showed a clear within-population structure with gene clusters of approximately 20 m.Genetic diversity patterns of V.rotundifolia in China provide a useful guide for its efficient use and conservation by selecting particular populations displaying greater variation that may contain required medicinal compounds,and by sampling individuals in a population at >20 m spatial intervals to avoid collecting individuals with identical or similar genotypes.     

贺兰山丁香自然居群克隆生长格局及遗传多样性的ISSR分析

运用ISSR分子标记技术,通过制定挖掘采样、"+"形采样及"垂直"采样3种采样方案,对贺兰山丁香(Syringa pinnatifolia var.alanshanica)不同居群的克隆多样性、克隆生长格局及其遗传多样性进行了分析.克隆多样性分析表明:挖掘采样方式采到的3个克隆系内,各自所包含的单株间具有完全相同的基因型;"垂直"采样及"+"形采样的7个居群、 239个样品表现出136个不同的基因型或克隆,显示贺兰山丁香具有较高的克隆多样性(D=0.994)及基因型分布均匀性(E=0.985).克隆生长空间格局分析表明,贺兰山丁香为密集型克隆植物.每个居群都由多克隆组成,克隆生长只发生在同一丛内,多数基株只含有1个分株,最多可达8个.物种水平上的平均克隆大小(N_C)和平均基因型比例(PD)分别为1.757和0.569.对贺兰山丁香遗传多样性分析的结果显示,在居群水平和物种水平上都保持着较高的遗传多样性,其遗传变异主要存在于居群内;但居群间分化程度较低(G_ST=0.320),表明自然居群间基因交流有限.     

Genetic Variation and Clonal Diversity of Psammochloa villosa(Poaceae) Detected by ISSR Markers

Genetic variation and clonal diversity of seven Psammochloavillosa(Poaceae) populations from northwest China were investigatedusing inter simple sequence repeat (ISSR) markers. Of the 84primers screened, 12 produced highly reproducible ISSR bands.Using these primers, 173 discernible DNA fragments were generatedwith 122 (70.5%) being polymorphic, indicating considerablegenetic variation at the species level. In contrast, there wererelatively low levels of polymorphism at the population levelwith the percentage of polymorphic bands (PPB) ranging from6.1 to 26.8. Analysis of molecular variance (AMOVA) showed thata large proportion of genetic variation (87.46%) resided amongpopulations, while only 12.54% resided among individuals withinpopulations. Clonal diversity was also high with 98 genets beingdetected from among 157 individuals using 12 ISSR primers. Theevenness of distribution of genotypes in P. villosa populationsvaried greatly, with all of the genotypes being local ones.No significant differences in genetic or clonal diversity werefound between populations in mobile or fixed dunes. The mainfactor responsible for the high level of differentiation amongpopulations and the low level of diversity within populationsis probably the clonal nature of this species, although selfingmay also affect the population genetic structure to some extent.The efficiency of ISSRs in identifying genetic individuals wasmuch higher than that of allozymes. An approximately asymptoticcorrelation was found between the number of genets detectedand the number of polymorphic loci used, suggesting that useof a high number of polymorphic bands is critical in genet identification.Copyright 2001 Annals of Botany Company Psammochloa villosa, ISSRs, genetic variation, clonal diversity     

Genetic diversity and migration patterns of the aquatic macrophyte Potamogeton malaianus in a potamo-lacustrine system

1. Previously, the Yangtze River connected thousands of shallow lakes which together formed a potamo-lacustrine system capable of sustaining a rich variety of submerged macrophytes.
2.  Potamogeton malaianus is one of the dominant submerged macrophytes in many lakes of this area. Genetic variation and population structure of P. malaianus populations from ten lakes in the potamo-lacustrine system were assessed using inter-simple sequence repeat markers.
3. Twelve primer combinations produced a total of 166 unambiguous bands of which 117 (70.5%) were polymorphic. Potamogeton malaianus exhibited a moderate level of population genetic diversity ( P _P = 70.5%, H _E = 0.163 and I =  0.255), as compared with that of plants in the same habitat and range. The main factors responsible for this moderate value were the plant's mixed breeding system (both sexual and asexual) and the hydrological connectivity among habitats.
4.  F statistics, calculated using different approaches, consistently revealed a moderate genetic differentiation among populations, contributing about 20% of total genetic diversity. An estimate of gene flow (using F _ST) suggested that gene flow played a more important role than genetic drift in the current population genetic structure of P. malaianus ( Nm  = 1.131).
5. The genetic diversity of P. malaianus did not increase downstream. A high level of linkage–disequilibrium at the whole population level suggested that metapopulation processes may affect genetic structure. The migration pattern of P. malaianus was best explained by a two-dimensional stepping stone model, indicating that bird-mediated dispersal could greatly influence gene movements among lakes.     

Genetic diversity and multilocus genetic structure in the relictual endemic herb<Emphasis Type="Italic"> Japonolirion osense</Emphasis> (Petrosaviaceae)

Plant clonality may greatly reduce effective population size and influence management strategies of rare and endangered species. We examined genetic diversity and the extent of clonality in four populations of the monotypic herbaceous perennial Japonolirion osense, which is one of the most rare flowering plants in Japan. Allozyme analysis revealed moderate levels of genetic variation, and the proportion of polymorphic loci (P=66.7%) was higher than the value for species with similar life-history traits. With four polymorphic loci, 19 multilocus genotypes were observed among 433 aerial shoot samples and 10 (52%) were found only in single populations. The proportion of distinguishable genotypes (PD=0.10) and Simpson's index of diversity (D=0.52) also exhibited moderate levels of genotypic diversity compared to other clonal plants, with genotype frequencies at Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium. The distributions of genotypes were often localized and they were mostly found within a radius of 5 m. Spatial autocorrelation analysis showed that shoot samples located 4 m apart were expected to be genetically independent. The results suggest that the spatial extent of genets was relatively narrow and thus the clonality was not extensive.     

准噶尔无叶豆片断化居群的遗传变异及克隆多样性

准噶尔无叶豆(Eremosparton songoricum)是豆科无叶豆属小半灌木, 既能开花结实进行有性繁殖, 又可以靠根茎进行无性克隆繁殖, 为国家三级保护植物, 在中国仅片断化分布于新疆古尔班通古特沙漠局部区域。本文采用ISSR分子标记对采自古尔班通古特沙漠腹地及边缘的7个准噶尔无叶豆自然居群共148个个体进行了遗传变异和克隆多样性分析。8个引物共扩增出84个位点, 其中77个为多态性位点, 物种水平上的多态位点百分比PPB为91.67％, Nei's基因多样性指数I为0.3192, Shannon信息指数H为0.3540; 居群水平上的多态位点百分比PPB为58.45％, Nei's基因多样性指数I为0.2248, Shannon信息指数H为0.3270。居群间的遗传分化系数G_ST为0.2978。AMOVA分析表明, 有31.88%的遗传变异存在于居群间, 表明居群间存在显著的遗传分化。克隆多样性分析表明, 居群水平上, 居群G的Simpson多样性指数和均匀度指数最高, 分别为0.9400和0.9885; 居群E最低, 分别为0.8457和0.9021。物种水平上, Simpson多样性指数为0.9858, 均匀度指数为0.9673。本研究结果表明, 和其他荒漠植物相比, 准噶尔无叶豆表现出较高的遗传变异水平和克隆多样性, 这主要与该物种兼性生殖的繁育方式及多克隆起源有关; 而居群间产生了显著的遗传分化则主要由于人为干扰引起的生境片断化和居群减小而导致的基因交流障碍所致。遗传变异水平和遗传结构的研究将为分析准噶尔无叶豆致濒原因及进化潜力提供重要资料, 对该物种保护具有指导意义。

Conservation genetics of the rare and endangered Leucopogon obtectus (Ericaceae)

Leucopogon obtectus Benth. is a declared rare species found in the kwongan vegetation in Western Australia. Plants on a mineral sand mine and the rehabilitation area are subject to disturbance. Genetic diversity was examined within and among all known populations using random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) and amplified fragment length polymorphisms (AFLPs) for conservation. Both molecular markers revealed a high percentage (> 89%) of polymorphic markers and a high mean genetic distance among individuals (D = 0.3). Analysis of molecular variance showed that 86.7% (RAPD) and 89.7% (AFLP) of variability was partitioned among individuals within populations. Exact tests showed no significant population differentiation. The analyses indicated that L. obtectus exhibits high levels of genetic diversity despite small population sizes. The high levels of variability among individuals and the lack of clear population differentiation suggest that this species comprises a single, genetically diverse group. Conservation and management of L. obtectus should concentrate on maintaining the high levels of genetic variability through mixing genotypes and promoting outcrossing.     

GENOTYPIC VARIATION AND CLONAL STRUCTURE IN CORAL POPULATIONS WITH DIFFERENT DISTURBANCE HISTORIES

Genotypic diversity in six populations of the endemic Hawaiian reef coral, Porites compressa, was directly related to habitat-disturbance history. The highest diversity (lowest amount of clonal proliferation) was found in populations that had been intensely or recently disturbed. In these populations, space was not limited and mean colony size was small (< 500 cm²), suggesting early stages of recolonization. In an undisturbed, protected habitat, lower genotypic diversity was a result of a significant degree of clonal replication of established genotypes. Unoccupied substratum was rare in this habitat, and average colony size was large (> 2500 cm²). Populations in intermediately disturbed habitats showed intermediate levels of diversity and clonal structure as a result of the combined contributions of sexual and asexual reproduction. Individual clones were distributed over small areas (< 4 m²) or distances (< 1 m) in young populations, and more broadly (> 256 m²) and over longer distances (> 90 m) in the older, undisturbed population. Interpretations of life-history parameters and estimates of total genetic variability in species that have the potential to reproduce asexually are dependent upon an assessment of the overall clonal structure of populations. The power of genotypic assays to reliably detect clonal versus unique colonies, as well as the spatial scales over which clonal populations are sampled, are critical to such assessments.
