Efficient protocols for CAPS-based mapping inArabidopsis

Positional cloning continues to be an essential method for gene identification and characterisation. The introduction of PCR-based techniques such as Amplified Fragment Length Polymorphism (AFLP), Simple Sequence Length Polymorphisms (SSLP) and Cleaved Amplified Polymorphic Sequences (CAPS) has greatly increased the efficiency of gene mapping in arabidopsis. To develop the CAPS marker approach further, we have altered several critical mapping parameters. Efficiency was improved by using a small volume of dry seed for DNA extraction instead of the commonly used vegetative tissue. Reproducibility of PCR reactions was enhanced by faster and reduced protocols for PCR and restriction enzyme digestion and optimisation of PCR conditions for over 50 CAPS primer pairs. Finally, the density of genetic markers was increased by providing polymorphic information for all CAPS markers in arabidopsis ecotypes Wassilewskija (Ws), Columbia (Col) and Cape Verde Islands (Cvi).

Molecular markers with potential to replace phage typing for Salmonella enterica serovar typhimurium

Using Amplified Fragment Length Polymorphism (AFLP) analysis of isolates from 23 phage types, we isolated 11 molecular markers that are potentially useful for molecular typing of Salmonella enterica serovar typhimurium. We tested these and 11 previously studied markers for their ability to discriminate among isolates and for correlation of their distribution with phage types. The Simpson's index of discriminatory power for the molecular markers is 0.96. One hundred and twenty one isolates from 33 phage types tested were divided into 51 types which are further grouped into 24 patterns. Eight patterns can unambiguously identify 8 phage types and a further 12 correlated with phage type distribution, showing the usefulness of these markers for molecular phage typing.     

Development of a genetic linkage map for Pinus radiata and detection of pitch canker disease resistance associated QTLs

Key message

The heritability of genetic resistance of radiata pine against Fusarium circinatum was not clear. We demonstrated that there are at least 3 QTLs that could be involved in this resistance/susceptibility.

Abstract

A genetic linkage map was developed for Pinus radiata, using Amplified Fragment Length Polymorphism (AFLP), Inter-Simple Sequence Repeat (ISSR), Selective Amplification of Microsatellite Polymorphic Loci (SAMPL), and Simple Sequence Repeat (SSR) molecular markers, based on a two-way pseudo-testcross strategy, using 86 individuals of a F1 full-sib family and 787 molecular markers for genotyping. Linkage analysis generated a map of medium to high density for each parent, with 1,060 and 1,258 cM for parents XO and XP, respectively. A total of 458 markers were mapped on 12 linkage groups (LG) in XO and XP, which equals the number of haploid chromosomes present in P. radiata. Analysis of quantitative trait loci (QTL) for resistance against pitch canker disease caused by Fusarium circinatum was made using Bayesian Information Criterion (BIC). In the XO parental map, two groups (LG-1 and LG-9) showed high probabilities for one or more QTLs. Only one group (LG-9) in the XP parental map showed probability for one or more QTLs. The results indicate that resistance to pitch canker is inherited from both parents. These results provide the basis for further studies focused on structure, evolution, and function of the P. radiata genome.     

Comparison of RAPD,ISSR, and AFLP Molecular Markers to Reveal and Classify Orchardgrass (Dactylis glomerata L.) Germplasm Variations

Three different DNA-based techniques, Random Amplified Polymorphic DNA (RAPD), Inter Simple Sequence Repeat (ISSR) and Amplified Fragment Length Polymorphism (AFLP) markers, were used for fingerprinting Dactylis glomerata genotypes and for detecting genetic variation between the three different subspecies. In this study, RAPD assays produced 97 bands, of which 40 were polymorphic (41.2%). The ISSR primers amplified 91 bands, and 54 showed polymorphism (59.3%). Finally, the AFLP showed 100 bands, of which 92 were polymorphic (92%). The fragments were scored as present (1) or absent (0), and those readings were entered in a computer file as a binary matrix (one for each marker). Three cluster analyses were performed to express–in the form of dendrograms–the relationships among the genotypes and the genetic variability detected. All DNA-based techniques used were able to amplify all of the genotypes. There were highly significant correlation coefficients between cophenetic matrices based on the genetic distance for the RAPD, ISSR, AFLP, and combined RAPD-ISSR-AFLP data (0.68, 0.78, 0.70, and 0.70, respectively). Two hypotheses were formulated to explain these results; both of them are in agreement with the results obtained using these three types of molecular markers. We conclude that when we study genotypes close related, the analysis of variability could require more than one DNA-based technique; in fact, the genetic variation present in different sources could interfere or combine with the more or less polymorphic ability, as our results showed for RAPD, ISSR and AFLP markers. Our results indicate that AFLP seemed to be the best-suited molecular assay for fingerprinting and assessing genetic relationship among genotypes of Dactylis glomerata.

Genetic and epigenetic stability of cryopreserved and cold-stored hops (Humulus lupulus L.)

Conventional cold storage and cryopreservation methods for hops (Humulus lupulus L.) are available but, to our knowledge, the genetic and epigenetic stability of the recovered plants have not been tested. This study analyzed 51 accessions of hop using the molecular techniques, Random Amplified DNA Polymorphism (RAPD) and Amplified Fragment Length Polymorphism (AFLP), revealing no genetic variation among greenhouse-grown controls and cold stored or cryopreserved plants. Epigenetic stability was evaluated using Methylation Sensitive Amplified Polymorphism (MSAP). Over 36% of the loci were polymorphic when the cold and cryo-treated plants were compared to greenhouse plants. The main changes were demethylation events and they were common to the cryopreserved and cold stored plants indicating the possible effect of the in vitro establishment process, an essential step in both protocols. Protocol-specific methylation patterns were also detected indicating that both methods produced epigenetic changes in plants following cold storage and cryopreservation.
