印度酸桔与飞龙枳属间体细胞杂种的胞质遗传分析

对印度酸桔（Citrus reticulata） 飞龙枳（Poncirus trifoliata）属间体细胞杂种的3棵8年生植株及其融合亲本的胞质基因组进行了CAPS（Cleaved Amplified Polymorphic Sequences）和RFLP分析。用5对叶绿体和5对线粒体通用引物对（universal primer pairs）对杂种及亲本的总DNA进行PCR扩增,都没有检测到多态性,但扩增产物分别用11种限制性内切酶酶切后,发现3个有多态性的叶绿体CAPS标记和1个线粒体CAPS标记。结果表明杂种的叶绿体都来源于飞龙枳,而线粒体都来源于印度酸桔。为了证实CAPS分析结果的可靠性,用5种限制性内切酶对总DNA进行单酶切,分别与1个叶绿体探针和5个线粒体探针杂交,结果与CAPS分析一致。初步证实该组合体细胞杂种的胞质遗传组成为“印度酸桔的线粒体 飞龙枳的叶绿体”。结果表明细胞融合确实能导致细胞核、线粒体和叶绿体的重新组合,为柑桔体细胞杂种中线粒体偏向来源于悬浮亲本而叶绿体偏向来源于叶肉亲本的胞质分配现象提供了新的证据,并为通过体细胞融合技术定向转移柑桔胞质基因的品种改良思路提供了重要理论依据。     

木耳属真菌rDNA特异性扩增片段的RFLP研究

Molecular characterization of cytoplasmic and nuclear genomes in phenotypically abnormal Valencia orange (Citrus sinensis) + Meiwa kumquat (Fortunella crassifolia) intergeneric somatic hybrids

Organelle DNA inheritance of four 10-year-old somatic hybrid trees between Valencia orange [Citrus sinensis (L.) Osbeck] and Meiwa kumquat (Fortunella crassifolia Swingle) was analyzed by cleaved amplified polymorphic sequence (CAPS) and restriction fragment length polymorphisms (RFLPs). Five chloroplast (cp) and three mitochondrial (mt) universal primer pairs were amplified, but no polymorphisms were detected. When the polymerase chain reaction products were digested by 15 restriction enzymes, four polymorphic cpDNA-CAPS and two mtDNA-CAPS markers were found. Both the cpDNA and mtDNA in the somatic hybrids were derived from Valencia orange (the embryogenic suspension parent). Genomic DNA of the somatic hybrids and corresponding parents was digested by five restriction endonucleases and hybridized with one chloroplast probe (RbcL- RbcL) and nine mitochondrial probes (coxI, coxII, c oxIII, c ob, atpA, tyr, proI, atp6 and atp9). The results indicated that three hybrid plants shared one strong cpDNA band with both parents and that the remaining one plant had two additional novel bands besides the shared band, while their mtDNA was identical to that of Valencia orange plus non-parental bands. When data on the mtDNA banding patterns were combined with observations on phenotypic performance in the field, it was found that the more complex mtDNA banding pattern coincided with increased vigor of the plant. The stability of the organelle genomes was studied by extracting the genomic DNA of one hybrid plant at monthly intervals for 1 year and then analyzing it using RFLPs. Before the dieback of the shoots, two fragments of the mtDNA were lost while the cpDNAs remained stable. Ploidy analysis by flow cytometry showed that all of the hybrids were stable tetraploids. Four simple sequence repeat primer pairs were applied to detect microsatellite alleles of the four hybrid plants, both parents and the 12 DNA samples from one plant. The results showed that all hybrids had biparental bands uniformly, which indicated that they had the same nuclear background. These results suggest that the mtDNA pattern is correlated with the phenotypic abnormality of Valencia and kumquat somatic hybrid plants and that nuclear-cytoplasm incompatibility may be the cause of dieback.

Some physicochemical properties of rice mitochondrial DNA

Summary Certain physicochemical properties of rice mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) were determined. Certain low-molecular-weight mtDNA bands were found in addition to the major mtDNA band. Rice mtDNA appeared in the electron microscope as a collection of linear molecules with heterogeneous length in the range of 1–156 kb. The major distribution area was 60–105 kb. A small fraction (less than 5%) of rice mtDNA was found in the form of a circular molecule. Some molecules had the appearance of being supercoiled. Replication fork structures were found in both circular and linear mtDNA molecules. In one rice species, Jin Nante, 15 different circular molecules were found. Rice mtDNA was digested with different restriction enzymes. The total molecular weight of rice mtDNA was calculated to be about 300 kb according to the data of restriction enzyme digestion and electron microscopy.     

Differentiation of mitochondrial subgroups in the Verticillium lecanii species complex

Presumptive mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) restriction fragment length polymorphisms (RFLPs) were obtained from 54 fungal isolates identified as Verticillium lecanii, V. psalliotae or ' V. lecanii -like'. Analysis of the mtDNA RFLPs showed 20 different patterns, indicating considerable genetic variation within the V. lecanii species complex. There was no direct correlation between host and mtDNA pattern, or between mtDNA patterns and previously described isoenzyme-defined specific groups. Isolates from tropical and subtropical areas showed considerable variation in genotypes, while isolates from temperate regions appeared less variable.     

Evaluating multilocus Bayesian species delimitation for discovery of cryptic mycorrhizal diversity

The increasing availability of DNA sequence data enables exciting new opportunities for fungal ecology. However, it amplifies the challenge of how to objectively classify the diversity of fungal sequences into meaningful units, often in the absence of morphological characters. Here, we test the utility of modern multilocus Bayesian coalescent-based methods for delimiting cryptic fungal diversity in the orchid mycorrhiza morphospecies Serendipita vermifera. We obtained 147 fungal isolates from Caladenia, a speciose clade of Australian orchids known to associate with Serendipita fungi. DNA sequence data for 7 nuclear and mtDNA loci were used to erect competing species hypotheses by clustering isolates based on: (a) ITS sequence divergence, (b) Bayesian admixture analysis, and (c) mtDNA variation. We implemented two coalescent-based Bayesian methods to determine which species hypothesis best fitted our data. Both methods found strong support for eight species of Serendipita among our isolates, supporting species boundaries reflected in ITS divergence. Patterns of host plant association showed evidence for both generalist and specialist associations within the host genus Caladenia. Our findings demonstrate the utility of Bayesian species delimitation methods and suggest that wider application of these techniques will readily uncover new species in other cryptic fungal lineages.     

Structural homogeneity of mitochondrial DNA in the mitochondrial nucleoid of Physarum polycephalum

Mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) of Physarum polycephalum was isolated gently by CsCl centrifugation. The mtDNA was linear with molecular weights ranging from 25·10⁶ to 45·10⁶ and heterogeneous in size. Nevertheless, thermal transition profiles of the mtDNA suggested that this DNA fraction was more homogeneous than nuclear DNA. Exhaustive digestions of this DNA with restriction endonucleases yielded unique fragments, and then the total of their molecular weights of each digest was around 45·10⁶. This value is equivalent to the maximum molecular weight estimated using electron microscopy and electrophoresis. Moreover, EcoRI digests of the mtDNA fractionated by the sucrose gradient showed unequimolar quantities of large fragments and a high background between bands. These results suggest that the mtDNA of Physarum has a homogeneous base sequence, and that the size heterogeneity of the mtDNA is attributable to degradation of the DNA under isolation procedures. The mtDNA was cleaved by EcoRI and XhoI to yield 16 and 7 fragments, respectively. A physical map of these fragments was constructed using the routine mapping procedures. The physical map showed that the mitochondrial genome of Physarum was linear with a molecular weight of 45·10⁶. We concluded therefore that the mitochondrial nucleoid is a structure in which the homogeneous mtDNA is highly amplified.
