北京市华北落叶松优树群体遗传多样性分析

利用SSR分子标记对北京市华北落叶松人工林5个群体的220棵优树进行遗传多样性和群体结构分析。20对SSR引物共检测到81个等位基因,每个位点等位基因数2~8个不等,平均4.05个。群体观测和期望杂合度平均值分别为0.429和0.440,Shannon信息指数和多态性信息含量分别为0.756和0.380。5个群体中,百花山和云蒙山遗传多样性水平最高,雾灵山遗传多样性水平最低。AMOVA分析结果显示,2.65%的遗传变异来自于群体间,剩余97.35%的遗传变异来自于群体内。遗传分化系数仅为0.023,表明北京市华北落叶松优树群体遗传分化程度很低。基于Nei's遗传距离可以将5个群体划分为3个类群,四海镇和雾灵山归为第Ⅰ类,松山归为第Ⅱ类,百花山和云蒙山归为第Ⅲ类。STRUCTURE群体结构分析结果与上述聚类分析结果大体一致。以上研究为华北落叶松人工林遗传多样性评价和优良种质资源收集、保护和利用提供理论依据。     

华北落叶松种子园控制授粉子代遗传多样性分析

以华北落叶松控制授粉群体的全部子代为材料,母本相同的个体视为同一家系,利用18对SSR分子标记对7个家系257个个体进行扩增,分析其遗传多样性及其遗传分化水平。结果表明:(1)18个SSR位点共检测到72个等位基因,平均等位基因数4个,有效等位基因数(Ne)为1.247~3.411。(2)7个家系的平均有效等位基因数为2.135个,观测杂合度(Ho)为0.518,期望杂合度(He)为0.502,Shannon信息指数0.846,其中55号家系遗传多样性水平最高,56号的遗传多样性水平最低。(3)遗传分化系数(GST)为0.113,各家系群体处于中等遗传分化水平,AMOVA分析结果显示82%的遗传变异存在于家系内,18%的遗传变异存在于家系间。(4)聚类分析结果表明,55号与59号家系的遗传距离最近,具有较近的亲缘关系,49号家系与其他家系的遗传距离最远。(5)结合遗传多样性及遗传分化水平结果,估算获得选择核心家系数及核心个体数,选择5个家系均可获得96%以上的遗传多样性,对于个体数较少的家系,选择15~20个个体;对于个体数较多的家系,选择35个个体,即可获得96%以上的遗传多样性。该研究结果对华北落叶松种子园育种群体的选择及其遗传多样性的保护具有重要意义。     

中国红原鸡和泰国红原鸡遗传多样性分析

利用29个微卫星DNA标记对来自中国的红原鸡Gallus gallus spadiceus亚种和来自泰国的红原鸡Gallus gallus gallus亚种进行遗传多样性分析, 评估亚种内的遗传变异和亚种间的遗传分化, 结果表明: 共检测到168个等位基因, 每个位点的等位基因数从2到13不等, 所有位点平均的期望杂合度和PIC值分别为0.5780和0.53。中国和泰国红原鸡29个微卫星位点平均有效等位基因数分别为3.79和4.79, 平均基因杂合度为0.5379和0.6385, 两个红原鸡亚种均表现出较高的群体杂合度和丰富的遗传多样性。群体分化系数为19.4%(P<0.01), 两个红原鸡亚种间的Reynolds’遗传距离和Nm值分别为0.157和1.040。由此可见, Gallus gallus spadiceus亚种和Gallus gallus gallus亚种群体具有不同的群体遗传结构, 群体之间存在明显的遗传分化, 并不能将其认定为是同一亚种, 这也为中国家鸡具有独立的起源提供了一定的佐证。     

用SSR研究栲树群体遗传结构

利用微卫星（SSR）分子标记对福建省内4个栲树（Castanopsis fargesii Franch.）群体遗传结构进行了研究。SSR标记揭示了栲树群体丰富的遗传变异：平均等位基因数A＝9.0,平均有效等位基因数Ne=4.8,平均期望杂合度He=0.65,而群 具有较低的Fst值（Fst=0.031）。SSR每个位点的等位基因频率分布在栲树群体间都存在显或极显差异,表明根据SSR等位基因频率分布亦能了解各体的分化。SSR标记使栲树群体中一些稀有等位基因得以表现,54个SSR等位基因中有15个等位基因仅出现在1个或2个群体中,且频率较低,在遗传多样性保护中更应注重保护这些稀有的等位变异。     

薇菜SSR分子标记的开发及遗传多样性初步探讨

利用改良FIASCO法(Fast Isolation by AFLP Sequences COntaining repeats)开发出的9对多态性SSR引物评价了薇菜(Osmunda japonica Thunb.)2个野生居群(庐山和恩施)、1个栽培居群(恩施)的遗传多样性和遗传分化水平。结果显示,9个SSR标记在3个薇菜居群中共检测到47个等位基因,每个SSR位点的平均等位基因数为5.222个,观测杂合度和期望杂合度分别为0.000~0.944和0.577~0.834,香农指数为0.962~1.860,表明各SSR位点多态性较高;各居群的平均期望杂合度均大于平均观测杂合度且种内近交系数均为正值,说明3个薇菜居群中都存在非随机交配现象;对各居群的相关遗传多样性参数分析表明,恩施野生居群遗传多样性最高,而其栽培居群最低;庐山野生居群与恩施野生居群间遗传分化系数为0.092,说明两地野生薇菜居群的遗传分化程度较低,AMOVA分析也表明遗传变异主要存在于野生居群内部。     

大鳞副泥鳅5个野生群体的遗传多样性分析

利用微卫星分子标记分析了天津地区于桥水库、大黄堡湿地、七里海湿地、团泊水库和潮白新河5个野生大鳞副泥鳅群体的遗传多样性。5个群体在12个微卫星位点共检测到98个等位基因,平均等位基因数为8.500;有效等位基因数为2.713;平均观测杂合度为0.526;平均期望杂合度为0.544。5个群体间的遗传分化指数介于0.021~0.106之间,平均遗传分化指数为0.059,属中低水平的遗传分化。AMOVA分析结果显示,在总的变异中,94.1%的遗传变异来自群体内,5.90%的遗传变异来自于群体间。根据Nei’s遗传距离所绘制的系统树显示,于桥水库、团泊水库、七里海湿地和大黄堡湿地4个群体的遗传距离相对较小聚为一支,潮白新河群体单独为一支。遗传瓶颈效应分析表明,该5个群体近期未经受遗传瓶颈效应,处于突变-漂移平衡。总体来看,天津地区5个野生大鳞副泥鳅群体的遗传多样性较高,可作为品种选育的基础群体。     

三个野生群体日本囊对虾遗传多样性的SSR分析

为了解野生种群日本囊对虾遗传分化和改良遗传育种,用SSR技术对福建厦门(XM)、广东湛江(ZJ)、广西北海(BH)3个地区野生日本囊对虾进行遗传多样性的研究。采用了10对微卫星引物对3个野生种群进行分析,10个微卫星位点在3个种群中均表现为高度的多态性,每个位点平均检测到3.87个等位基因;平均多态信息含量为0.5893;3个群体的观测杂合度分别为0.6243、0.5704、0.4661,全部群体观测杂合度平均为0.5536;期望杂合度分别为0.7193、0.6189、0.6226,全部群体平均期望杂合度为0.6536。这说明3个野生种群在10个微卫星位点上均具有丰富的遗传多样性。基于Nei's遗传距离的聚类分析显示厦门群体和湛江群体的遗传距离较近。     

利用SSR标记分析玉米轮回选择群体的遗传多样性

利用SSR标记技术分析了玉米基础群体DC0及其选择两轮后的群体HSC2和MSC2以及基础群体XFC0和其选择一轮后的群体XFC1的遗传多样性。结果表明：49对引物在5个玉米群体中共扩增出185个等位位点,每个SSR座位的等位基因数目为1～7个,平均为3．8个;基础群体多态性位点总数和多态性位点比例比其改良群体的略高;DC0、HSC2和MSC2 3个群体的基因平均杂合度相似,XFC0与XFC1的基因平均杂合度相似;基础群体与改良群体的平均遗传距离也相似;累加各引物扩增的基因型种类,改良群体的基因型种类偏少,但这些差异均不显著。以上结果说明轮回选择的基础群体与其改良后群体的遗传变异相似,轮回选择可以保持群体的遗传变异范围,改变群体的遗传组成,增加群体内个体间的异质性。     

福建武夷山甜槠不同世代种群遗传多样性的SSR分析

按胸径将福建武夷山大安源样地的甜槠(Castanopsis eyrei)群体划分为成体、小树、幼苗3个世代,利用SSR分子标记对不同世代的甜槠遗传多样性及遗传分化进行分析,旨在揭示其不同世代间的遗传变异规律,为甜槠资源的保护与利用提供科学依据。14对SSR引物共检测到92个等位基因,平均每位点的等位基因数A=6.571 4,居群的平均有效等位基因数Ae=3.905 4,平均期望杂合度He=0.722 9,表明甜槠群体具有丰富的遗传变异。SSR分析显示3个世代的Ae、He、Nei指数(h)、Shannon信息指数(I)均以幼苗最高,小树次之,成体最低,幼苗的遗传多样性指数高于成体及小树,且幼苗中出现最多的稀有等位基因数,表明甜槠种群世代间的遗传多样性呈稳定上升趋势。分子方差分析(AMOVA)表明甜槠群体不同世代内、世代间均存在遗传变异,但遗传变异主要存在于世代内。SSR分析显示,甜槠不同世代间的遗传分化系数Fst=0.074 3,基因流Nm=3.115 4。甜槠不同世代间的遗传相似度以成体与幼苗最小,遗传距离以成体与幼苗间最大。基于甜槠群体SSR的研究结果,认为自然保护区的建立对物种遗传多样性的保护具有重要作用,并提出在遗传多样性保护中应注重保护成体和幼苗中稀有的等位变异。     

采用微卫星标记分析10个双峰驼群体的遗传变异和群体间的遗传关系

为从分子水平上对我国双峰驼(Camelus bactrianus)群体的遗传多样性、群体间遗传关系、群体遗传分化及近交情况进行全面、系统地研究,为双峰驼种质资源保护和新品种培育提供基础数据,本文利用18对微卫星引物,分析了我国9个双峰驼群体和1个蒙古双峰驼群体的遗传多样性和遗传关系。结果显示:10个群体均具有较高的遗传多样性,共检测到242个等位基因,平均等位基因数为13.44,平均有效等位基因数为4.18,平均观察杂合度(Ho)为0.5528。10个群体间存在显著的遗传分化,有9.6%的遗传变异来自群体间,90.4%的遗传变异来自群体内部的个体间。聚类分析、主成分分析和群体遗传结构分析结果都表明10个群体被分成2个明显的分支,新疆4个群体单独聚为一类,剩下的6个群体聚为一类。这一结果可能与它们的地理分布和群体间的地理屏障有关。     

Curcuminoids as inhibitors of thioredoxin reductase: A receptor based pharmacophore study with distance mapping of the active site

Curcumin is the yellow pigment of turmeric that interacts irreversibly forming an adduct with thioredoxin reductase (TrxR), an enzyme responsible for redox control of cell and defence against oxidative stress. Docking at both the active sites of TrxR was performed to compare the potency of three naturally occurring curcuminoids, namely curcumin, demethoxy curcumin and bis-demethoxy curcumin. Results show that active sites of TrxR occur at the junction of E and F chains. Volume and area of both cavities is predicted. It has been concluded by distance mapping of the most active conformations that Se atom of catalytic residue SeCYS498, is at a distance of 3.56 from C13 of demethoxy curcumin at the E chain active site, whereas C13 carbon atom forms adduct with Se atom of SeCys 498. We report that at least one methoxy group in curcuminoids is necessary for interation with catalytic residues of thioredoxin. Pharmacophore of both active sites of the TrxR receptor for curcumin and demethoxy curcumin molecules has been drawn and proposed for design and synthesis of most probable potent antiproliferative synthetic drugs.

Comparative morphology of the carpel in the Liliaceae: Hewardieae, Petrosavieae, and Tricyrteae

The young pistils in the melanthioid tribes, Hewardieae, Petrosavieae and Tricyrteae, are uniformly tricarpellate and syncarpous. They lack raphide idioblasts. All are multiovulate, with bitegmic ovules. The Petrosavieae are marked by the presence of septal glands and incomplete syncarpy. Tepals and stamens adhere to the ovary in the Hewardieae and the Petrosavieae but not in the Tricyrteae. Two vascular bundles occur in the stamens of the Hewartlieae and Tricyrtis latifolia. Ventral bundles in the upper part of the ovary of the Hewardieae are continuous with compound septal bundles and placental bundles in the lower part. Putative ventral bundles occur in the alternate position in the Tricyrteae and putative placental bundles in the opposite. position in the Petrosavieae. The dichtomously branched stigma in each carpel of the Tricyrteae is supplied by a bifurcated dorsal bundle.     

Entwicklungsgeschichte und Ultrastruktur von Pollenkitt und Exine bei nahe verwandten entomophilen und anemophilen Angiospermensippen derAlismataceae,Liliaceae, Juncaceae,Cyperaceae, Poaceae undAraceae

Some closely related members of the monocotyledonous familiesAlismataceae, Liliaceae, Juncaceae, Cyperaceae, Poaceae andAraceae with variable modes of pollination (insect- and wind-pollination) were studied in relation to the ultrastructure of pollenkitt and exine (amount, consistency and distribution of pollenkitt on the surface of pollen grains). The character syndromes of pollen cementing in entomophilous, anemophilous and intermediate (ambophilous or amphiphilous) monocotyledons are the same in principal as in dicotyledons. Comparing present with former results one can summarize: 1) The pollenkitt is always produced in the same manner by the anther tapetum in all angiosperm sub-classes. 2) The variable stickiness of entomophilous and anemophilous pollen always depends on the particular distribution and consistency of the pollenkitt, but not its amount on the pollen surface. 3) The mostly dry and powdery pollen of anemophilous plants always contains a variable amount of inactive pollenkitt in its exine cavities. 4) A step-by step change of the pollen cementing syndrome can be observed from entomophily towards anemophily. 5) From the omnipresence of pollenkitt in all wind-pollinated angiosperms studied one can conclude that the ancestors of anemophilous angiosperms probably have been zoophilous (i.e. entomophilous) throughout.
