中国野生稻及栽培稻核糖体DNA第一转录间隔区序列分析及其系统学意义

用 PCR技术从产于我国的 3种野生稻和亚洲栽培稻的 2个亚种中特异地扩增和测序了 r DNA的第一转录间隔区。普通野生稻 (Oryza rufipogon)、药用野生稻 (O.officinalis)、疣粒野生稻 (O.granu-lata)和栽培稻的两个亚种 (O.sativa ssp.indica,O.sativa ssp.japonica)的 ITS1序列为 1 93bp、1 94bp、2 1 8bp、1 94bp和 1 94bp,它们的 G/ C含量为 69.3%～ 72 .7% ,序列中位点趋异率为 1 .5%～ 1 0 .6%。序列的相似性比较和简约性分支分析的结果表明 ,普通野生稻与栽培稻的两个亚种之间的亲缘关系最为密切 ;药用野生稻与普通野生稻和与栽培稻的两个亚种的相似性都为 82 % ,说明它与 AA基因组有一定的亲缘关系 ;疣粒野生稻与普通野生稻、药用野生稻和栽培稻两个亚种的亲缘关系相对较远 ,它在稻属中可能是一个系统地位较独特的类群。以 ITS1序列构建的 3种野生稻和 2个栽培稻亚种的系统发育关系与前人用同工酶、叶绿体 DNA、线粒体 DNA和核 DNA资料重建的稻属的系统发育关系基本一致     

2012年第11期《遗传》封面说明

作物的驯化是人类从开始种植和储存的野生作物中选择优良性状,使之形态特征适应于农业生产方向进化的过程,因此,大部分种子作物驯化后在落粒性、种子休眠和植株形态等方面都出现了相似的变化。水稻是研究谷类作物驯化的良好模式生物。稻属包含2种栽培稻,分别为亚洲栽培稻(Oryza sativa L.)和非洲栽培稻(O. glaberrima Steud.),其中亚洲栽培稻遍布全世界,包含两个主要亚种,粳稻亚种(O. sativa L. ssp. japonica)和籼稻亚种(O. sativa L. ssp. indica)。稻属丰富的近缘种和广泛的地域分布非常有利于研究确定现代栽培稻的驯化地域。此外,水稻基因组较小、具高质量精细图谱,加上功能基因研究上的进展,也为深入开展水稻驯化进程研究奠定了基础。详见本期第XX-XX页区树俊,汪鸿儒,储成才“亚洲栽培稻主要驯化性状研究进展”,对水稻关键驯化性状研究进行的比较全面的综述。封面图中央是选取23株AA基因组的亚洲栽培稻及其近缘野生稻,利用水稻驯化过程中受到选择的控制稻壳颜色基因Bh4上下游各50 kb中的SNP位点所构建的进化树;图外从左下至右下沿顺时针方向,反映的是水稻驯化过程中稻壳颜色、谷粒形状、穗型的变化趋势。 区树俊,汪鸿儒,储成才（绘图：区树俊）     

水稻(Oryza sativa L.)核基因组存在叶绿体psbA基因的同源片段

序列比较说明,重复DNA顺序pRRD9与水稻叶绿体基因组中编码QB蛋白的psbA基因存在高度的同源。用pRRD9亚克隆片段pRRD9R和片段pRRD9L对水稻的叶绿体和核DNA进行Southern杂交分析,揭示了psbA基因同源片段在某个进化时期由叶绿体基因组转移到水稻核基因组,而且两者在水稻进化过程中的变异程度存在明显的差异。利用它们对野生稻和栽培稻总DNA的Southern杂交分析,显示亚洲栽培稻与AA基因组型的野生稻有较近的亲缘关系,以及在部分野生稻产生特异的杂交带谱,说明它可以作为一种分子探针来研究水稻的进化问题。     

四种稻属植物花粉外壁TEM的超微结构比较研究

谷物类花粉的准确鉴定可为农业考古研究提供微观证据,但由于禾本科植物花粉形态的高度相似性,使得栽培谷物类花粉与野生禾草类花粉难以区分。本研究对四种稻属植物(Oryza rufipogon,O.sativa,O.officinalis,O.meyeriana)的花粉外壁进行超微结构的透射电子显微镜(TEM)观察与比较,试图找出TEM下的鉴别特征。研究结果显示:普通野生稻(O.rufipogon)花粉的萌发孔盖通过急剧加厚的外壁内层与孔缘相连;水稻(O.sativa)的花粉外壁外层具有十分密集的沟槽;药用稻(O.officinalis)花粉的萌发孔盖位置相对于孔缘更加接近原生质,二者形成凹形;疣粒稻(O.meyeriana)的花粉外壁外层无沟槽。本实验作为稻属花粉种间鉴别的尝试性探究,可为考古孢粉学研究提供实用的方法学依据,是探索早期稻作农业文明的必要基础,也给区分农作物花粉与野生禾草花粉的深入研究以启示。     

不同基因组野生稻随机微卫星扩增多态DNA(RMAPD)遗传分析

采用32对RMAPD引物对水稻9种类型基因组的44份材料遗传多样性进行研究,PCR产物经凝胶电泳后进行带型统计并用NTSYS软件进行聚类分析．结果显示44份材料可分为AA基因组和其他基因组2个大组,其他基因组可分为BCD、EFG和HJ等3个小组;BCD小组聚类结果表明CC基因组与BBCC基因组关系亲缘最近．与CCDD基因组次之,而与AA基因组最远．结果同时表明,AA基因组野生稻和非AA基因组野生稻含丰富的栽培稻所没有的基因．RMAPD标记在群体遗传结构和亲缘关系分析等水稻遗传育种领域具有广阔的应用前景．     

来自中国云南野生稻的抗稻瘟病遗传资源

与Pi-ta^＋等位基因相比,含有Pi-ta^＋等位基因的栽培稻具有抗稻瘟病特性。本研究用基因序列分析的方法检测了来自云南的不同栽培稻品种以及不同类型和来源的普通野生稻种和非洲长雄蕊野生稻种中的Pi-ta^＋基因,发现Pi-ta地基因在稻属植物中高度保守,但Pi-ta^＋等位基因的存在极其稀有。在所检测的栽培稻和野生稻中仅有来源于云南景洪的直立型普通野生稻中含有Pi-ta^＋等位基因。而与Pi-ta基因相比,另一个水稻抗稻瘟病基因Pib,经部分同源序列克隆及测序发现该基因在不同野生稻中的变异较大。在所克隆的不同野生稻Pib基因同源序列中,也只有来源于直立型普通野生稻的序列能按该基因的开放阅读框进行正常翻译。对不同类型普通野生稻的抗稻瘟病能力的初步鉴定结果表明,直立型普通野生稻对供试的本地稻瘟病生理小种具有较强抗性,其抗性可能源于所含的Pi=ta^＋等位基因及可能有功能的Pib基因。由于普通野生稻与栽培稻同属AA基因组型,因此,云南直立型普通野生稻可通过杂交育种或基因工程途径用于栽培稻的抗稻瘟病性能改良。     

野生稻Wx基因(CT)n卫星序列和第一内含子SNP特征标签初探

本研究利用特异引物对来源于云南的22份栽培稻及分别来源于海南、云南元江、江西东乡的3份普通野生稻(O.rufipogon Griff.)和1份长雄野生稻(O.longistaminata)Wx基因中第1内含子和第1内含子上游微卫星序列(CT)n的序列进行PCR扩增并测序。结果显示所有材料均能扩增出产物并获得碱基测序(包括长雄野生稻),4份野生稻的(CT)重复次数分别是(CT)8、(CT)10、(CT)10、(CT)11,较栽培稻少;第1内含子中+1位碱基均为G。相较于栽培稻,野生稻在第1内含子与(CT)n重复中有明显区别于栽培稻的SNP位点,包含基因突变的In Del、转换和颠换3种类型。说明野生稻和栽培稻在进化的过程中出现了差异。Wx基因中微卫星序列(CT)n和第1内含子的序列可作为检测野生稻遗传组分的一个遗传标签。     

水稻产量相关性状驯化研究进展

水稻具有悠久的栽培历史,是重要的粮食作物,养育了1/3的世界人口。现代栽培稻(Oryza sativa)由野生稻(O.rufipogon)驯化而来,产量是驯化筛选的关键性状之一。株型、穗型和种子大小是决定水稻产量的重要性状,这些性状在水稻栽培过程中均受到了定向筛选。该文以水稻产量性状为核心,综述了株型、穗型和种子大小等性状的驯化分子机理研究进展,讨论了水稻产量驯化研究中存在的问题,展望了驯化性状和相关基因的研究前景,以期为水稻产量相关性状的驯化机理研究和水稻育种工作提供有价值的线索。     

水稻及其近亲家族

栽培稻在分类上属于禾本科(Poaceae)、稻族(Oryzeae)、稻属(Oryza)。稻属包含了两种栽培稻和20多种野生稻物种,广布于全球的热带和亚热带地区(见表)。亚洲栽培稻(O.sativa)就是我们通常食用的水稻,现已广泛地种植于全世界的热带、亚热带以及温带地区。非洲栽培稻(O.glaberrima)种植的面积很小,只在西非的某些农业生态环境中存在,它起源于非洲西部。因为它的产量很低,只有很少人食用它,但它是水稻遗传育种的重要基因资源。     

野生稻DNA导入水稻后代的SSR检测分析

以宁夏地区水稻主栽品种‘宁粳16号’、‘宁粳23号’为受体,普通野生稻(Oryza rufipogon,2n=2x=24, AA)为供体,利用花粉管通道导人法与茎注射法相结合的导入方法,将普通野生稻DNA导入宁夏水稻栽培品种, 对筛选出的21份形态、农艺性状典型变异的D2代材料及其对照利用SSR分子标记进行分子鉴定,结果表明,有 17份变异材料扩增出野生稻特有的DNA片段,而2个对照均不能扩增出野生稻特异的DNA片段,证明这些材料就是野生稻DNA片段导入的后代。另外有些材料出现受体DNA条带的减少,可能是由于野生稻DNA片段整合到水稻基因组中该引物结合位点或附近,原有的结合位点破坏而造成的。     

Genetic variation in the chloroplast genome suggests multiple domestication of cultivated Asian rice (Oryza sativa L.).

Two hundred and seventy-five accessions of cultivated Asian rice and 44 accessions of AA genome Oryza species were classified into 8 chloroplast (cp) genome types (A-H) based on insertion-deletion events at 3 regions (8K, 57K, and 76K) of the cp genome. The ancestral cp genome type was determined according to the frequency of occurrence in Oryza species and the likely evolution of the variable 57K region of the cp genome. When 2 nucleotide substitutions (AA or TT) were taken into account, these 8 cp types were subdivided into 11 cp types. Most indica cultivars had 1 of 3 cp genome types that were also identified in the wild relatives of rice, O. nivara and O. rufipogon, suggesting that the 3 indica cp types had evolved from distinct gene pools of the O. rufipogon - O. nivara complex. The majority of japonica cultivars had 1 of 3 different cp genome types. One of these 3 was identified in O. rufipogon, suggesting that at least 1 japonica type is derived from O. rufipogon with the same cp genome type. These results provide evidence to support a polyphyletic origin of cultivated Asian rice from at least 4 principal lineages in the O. rufipogon - O. nivara complex.     

Distribution of fertility-restorer genes for wild-abortive and Honglian CMS lines of rice in the AA genome species of genus Oryza

BACKGROUND AND AIMS: Rice (Oryza sativa) is one of the most important cereal plants in the world. Wild-abortive (WA) and Honglian (HL) cytoplasmic male sterility (CMS) have been used extensively in the production of hybrid seeds. Although a variable number of fertility-restorer genes (Rf) for WA and HL-CMS have been identified in various cultivars, information on Rf in Oryza species with the AA-genome is sparse. Therefore the distribution and heredity of Rf for WA and HL-CMS in wild rice species of Oryza with the AA-genome were investigated. METHODS: Fertility-restorer genes for WA and HL-CMS in wild rice species with the AA-genome were investigated by following the fertility of microspores identified by I2-KI staining and by following the seed-setting rate of spikelets. A genetic model of Rf in some selected restorer accessions was analysed based on the fertility segregation of BC1F1 populations. KEY RESULTS: Fertility analysis showed that 21 out of 35 HL-type F1s, and 13 out of 31 WA-type F1s were scored as fertile. The frequency of Rf in wild rice was 60% for HL-CMS and 41.9% for WA-CMS, respectively. The fertility-restorer accessions, especially those with complete restoring ability, aggregated mainly in two species of O. rufipogon and O. nivara. The wild rice accessions with Rf for HL-CMS were distributed in Asia, Oceania, Latin American and Africa, but were centered mainly in Asia, whilst the wild restorer accessions for WA-CMS were limited only to Asia and Africa. Apart from one restorer accession that possessed two pairs of Rf for WA-CMS, all of the other nine tested wild restorer accessions each contained only a single Rf for WA-CMS or HL-CMS. Allele analysis indicated that there existed at least three Rf loci for the WA and HL-CMS systems. CONCLUSIONS: These data support the hypothesis that fertility-restorer genes exist widely in Oryza species with the AA-genome, and that Rf in Oryza sativa originated from the Oryza rufipogon/Oryza nivara complex, the ancestor of cultivated rice in Asia. The origin and evolution of Rf is tightly linked to that of CMS in wild rice, and fertility of a given CMS type is controlled by several Rf alleles in various wild restorer accessions.     

Multilocus analysis of nucleotide variation of Oryza sativa and its wild relatives: severe bottleneck during domestication of rice

Varying degrees of reduction of genetic diversity in crops relative to their wild progenitors occurred during the process of domestication. Such information, however, has not been available for the Asian cultivated rice (Oryza sativa) despite its importance as a staple food and a model organism. To reveal levels and patterns of nucleotide diversity and to elucidate the genetic relationship and demographic history of O. sativa and its close relatives (Oryza rufipogon and Oryza nivara), we investigated nucleotide diversity data from 10 unlinked nuclear loci in species-wide samples of these species. The results indicated that O. rufipogon and O. nivara possessed comparable levels of nucleotide variation ((sil) = 0.0077 approximately 0.0095) compared with the relatives of other crops. In contrast, nucleotide diversity of O. sativa was as low as (sil) = 0.0024 and even lower ((sil) = 0.0021 for indica and 0.0011 for japonica), if we consider the 2 subspecies separately. Overall, only 20-10% of the diversity in the wild species was retained in 2 subspecies of the cultivated rice (indica and japonica), respectively. Because statistic tests did not reject the assumption of neutrality for all 10 loci, we further used coalescent to simulate bottlenecks under various lengths and population sizes to better understand the domestication process. Consistent with the dramatic reduction in nucleotide diversity, we detected a severe domestication bottleneck and demonstrated that the sequence diversity currently found in the rice genome could be explained by a founding population of 1,500 individuals if the initial domestication event occurred over a 3,000-year period. Phylogenetic analyses revealed close genetic relationships and ambiguous species boundary of O. rufipogon and O. nivara, providing additional evidence to treat them as 2 ecotypes of a single species. Lowest linkage disequilibrium (LD) was found in the perennial O. rufipogon where the r(2) value dropped to a negligible level within 400 bp, and the highest in the japonica rice where LD extended to the entirely sequenced region ( approximately 900 bp), implying that LD mapping by genome scans may not be feasible in wild rice due to the high density of markers needed.     

A chromosome-level genome assembly of the wild rice Oryza rufipogon facilitates tracing the origins of Asian cultivated rice

Oryza rufipogon Griff. is a wild progenitor of the Asian cultivated rice Oryza sativa. To better understand the genomic diversity of the wild rice, high-quality reference genomes of O. rufipogon populations are needed, which also facilitate utilization of the wild genetic resources in rice breeding. In this study, we generated a chromosome-level genome assembly of O. rufipogon using a combination of short-read sequencing, single-molecule sequencing, BioNano and Hi-C platforms. The genome sequence(399.8 Mb) was assembled into 46 scaffolds on the 12 chromosomes, with contig N50 and scaffold N50 of 13.2 Mb and 20.3 Mb,respectively. The genome contains 36,520 protein-coding genes, and 49.37% of the genome consists of repetitive elements. The genome has strong synteny with those of the O. sativa subspecies indica and japonica, but containing some large structural variations. Evolutionary analysis unveiled the polyphyletic origins of O. sativa, in which the japonica and indica genome formations involved different divergent O. rufipogon(including O. nivara) lineages, accompanied by introgression of genomic regions between japonica and indica. This high-quality reference genome provides insight on the genome evolution of the wild rice and the origins of the O. sativa subspecies, and valuable information for basic research and rice breeding.     

Evolutionary analysis of the Sub1 gene cluster that confers submergence tolerance to domesticated rice

BACKGROUND AND AIMS: Tolerance of complete submergence is recognized in a small number of accessions of domesticated Asian rice (Oryza sativa) and can be conferred by the Sub1A-1 gene of the polygenic Submergence-1 (Sub1) locus. In all O. sativa varieties, the Sub1 locus encodes the ethylene-responsive factor (ERF) genes Sub1B and Sub1C. A third paralogous ERF gene, Sub1A, is limited to a subset of indica accessions. It is thought that O. sativa was domesticated from the gene pools of the wild perennial species O. rufipogon Griff. and/or the annual species O. nivara Sharma et Shastry. The aim of this study was to evaluate the orthologues of the Sub1 locus in the closest relatives of O. sativa to provide insight into the origin of the gene and allelic variation of the Sub1 locus. METHODS: Orthologues of the Sub1 genes were isolated from O. rufipogon and O. nivara by use of oligonucleotide primers corresponding to the most highly conserved regions of the Sub1 genes of domesticated rice. The phylogenetic relatedness of Sub1 genes of O. sativa and its wild relatives was evaluated. KEY RESULTS AND CONCLUSIONS: Both O. rufipogon and O. nivara possess two Sub1 gene orthologues with strong sequence identity to the Sub1B and Sub1C alleles of cultivated rice. The phylogeny of the Sub1 genes of the domesticated and wild rice suggests that Sub1A arose from duplication of Sub1B. Variation in Sub1B alleles is correlated with the absence or presence of Sub1A. Together, the results indicate that genetic variation at the Sub1 locus is due to gene duplication and divergence that have occurred both prior to and after rice domestication.     

Morphological studies of Asian rice and its related wild species and the recognition of a new Australian taxon

In order to clarify the taxonomy and the interrelationships among Asiatic cultivated rice, Oryza sativa , and its related wild species ( O. rufipogon, O. nivara and O . barthii ), 41 morphological characters were examined. Numerical taxonomic methods were used to analyse the data and to illustrate species relationships.
Distinctive differences among the materials studied suggest the retention of O. rufipogoon, O. nivara and O . sativa as three distinct species. The origin of O. sativa from O. nivara through domestication is discussed. An annual wild taxon from Australia, which had been classified as a form of O. nivara , is shown to be distinct from typical O. nivnra and is raised to specific rank. This species has been named O. meridionalis Ng.     

Chloroplast genome sequence confirms distinctness of Australian and Asian wild rice

Cultivated rice (Oryza sativa) is an AA genome Oryza species that was most likely domesticated from wild populations of O. rufipogon in Asia. O. rufipogon and O. meridionalis are the only AA genome species found within Australia and occur as widespread populations across northern Australia. The chloroplast genome sequence of O. rufipogon from Asia and Australia and O. meridionalis and O. australiensis (an Australian member of the genus very distant from O. sativa) was obtained by massively parallel sequencing and compared with the chloroplast genome sequence of domesticated O. sativa. Oryza australiensis differed in more than 850 sites single nucleotide polymorphism or indel from each of the other samples. The other wild rice species had only around 100 differences relative to cultivated rice. The chloroplast genomes of Australian O. rufipogon and O. meridionalis were closely related with only 32 differences. The Asian O. rufipogon chloroplast genome (with only 68 differences) was closer to O. sativa than the Australian taxa (both with more than 100 differences). The chloroplast sequences emphasize the genetic distinctness of the Australian populations and their potential as a source of novel rice germplasm. The Australian O. rufipogon may be a perennial form of O. meridionalis.     

Characterization of Interspecific Hybrids Between Oryza sativa L. and Three Wild Rice Species of China by Genomic In Situ Hybridization

In the genus Oryza, interspecific hybrids are useful bridges for transferring the desired genes from wild species to cultivated rice （Oryza sativa L.）. In the present study, hybrids between O. sativa （AA genome） and three Chinese wild rices, namely O. rufipogon （AA genome）, O. officinalis （CC genome）, and O. meyeriana （GG genome）, were produced. Agricultural traits of the F1 hybrids surveyed were intermediate between their parents and appreciably resembled wild rice parents. Except for the O. sativa × O. rufipogon hybrid, the other F1 hybrids were completely sterile. Genomic in situ hybridization （GISH） was used for hybrid verification. Wild rice genomic DNAs were used as probes and cultivated rice DNA was used as a block. With the exception of O. rufipogon chromosomes, this method distinguished the other two wild rice and cultivated rice chromosomes at the stage of mitotic metaphase with different blocking ratios. The results suggest that a more distant phylogenetic relationship exists between O. meyeriana and O. sativa and that O. rufipogon and O. sativa share a high degree of sequence homology. The average mitotic chromosome length of O. officinalis and O. meyeriana was 1.25- and 1.51-fold that of O. sativa, respectively. 4＇,6＇-Diamidino- 2-phenylindole staining showed that the chromosomes of O. officinalis and O. meyeriana harbored more heterochromatin, suggesting that the C and G genomes were amplified with repetitive sequences compared with the A genome. Although chromocenters formed by chromatin compaction were detected with wild rice-specific signals corresponding to the C and G genomes in discrete domains of the F1 hybrid interphase nuclei, the size and number of O. meyeriana chromocenters were bigger and greater than those of O. officinalis. The present results provide an important understanding of the genomic relationships and a tool for the transfer of useful genes from three native wild rice species in China to cultivars.     

基于线粒体基因片段核苷酸多态性的亚洲栽培稻起源进化研究

亚洲栽培稻的祖先是普通野生稻,已成为世界公认的观点,然而亚洲栽培稻的2个亚种:粳稻和籼稻是一次起源还是二次起源仍存在很大争议,其起源地是国内还是国外依然是国际学者间争论的焦点。本文通过对184份亚洲栽培稻和203份普通野生稻3段基因序列cox3、cox1、orf 224和2段基因间序列ssv-39/178、rps2-trnfM的多样性研究,验证了以下观点:1)粳稻起源于中国,籼稻起源于中国和国外;2)亚洲栽培稻的起源为二次起源,即普通野生稻存在偏籼和偏粳2种类型,亚洲栽培稻的2个亚种籼稻和粳稻在进化过程中分别由偏籼型的普通野生稻和偏粳型的普通野生稻进化而来。     

Genetic control of a transition from black to straw-white seed hull in rice domestication

The genetic mechanism involved in a transition from the black-colored seed hull of the ancestral wild rice (Oryza rufipogon and Oryza nivara) to the straw-white seed hull of cultivated rice (Oryza sativa) during grain ripening remains unknown. We report that the black hull of O. rufipogon was controlled by the Black hull4 (Bh4) gene, which was fine-mapped to an 8.8-kb region on rice chromosome 4 using a cross between O. rufipogon W1943 (black hull) and O. sativa indica cv Guangluai 4 (straw-white hull). Bh4 encodes an amino acid transporter. A 22-bp deletion within exon 3 of the bh4 variant disrupted the Bh4 function, leading to the straw-white hull in cultivated rice. Transgenic study indicated that Bh4 could restore the black pigment on hulls in cv Guangluai 4 and Kasalath. Bh4 sequence alignment of all taxa with the outgroup Oryza barthii showed that the wild rice maintained comparable levels of nucleotide diversity that were about 70 times higher than those in the cultivated rice. The results from the maximum likelihood Hudson-Kreitman-Aguade test suggested that the significant reduction in nucleotide diversity in rice cultivars could be caused by artificial selection. We propose that the straw-white hull was selected as an important visual phenotype of nonshattered grains during rice domestication.
