湖北星斗山台湾杉居群的遗传多样性研究

采用随机扩增多态性DNA(RAPD)方法对孑遗植物台湾杉分布于湖北星斗山的野生和栽培居群共42个个体进行了遗传多样性分析。从60个随机引物中筛选出13个引物,共扩增出155条清晰谱带,多态位点百分率为72.9%。野生居群和栽培居群的多态位点百分率分别为65.81%和59.35%;Nei’s基因多样性分别为0.2001和0.1911;Shannon’s信息指数分别为0.3120和0.2946。野生居群的遗传多样性高于栽培居群,表明这些原生古树的后代出现了一定程度的遗传衰退。用UPGMA方法对42个单株聚类可知,来自野生群体的个体和来自栽培群体的个体明显地各聚为一类。尽管孑遗物种台湾杉在湖北仅有一个野生群体,且为零星分布,总个体数40多株,但仍保持较高的遗传多样性水平,这说明遗传多样性不是导致其种群濒危的主要原因,导致台湾杉种群濒危的原因可能与台湾杉自然种群及群落所处生境的直接破坏及其本身生物学和生态学特性所导致的自然更新不良有着密切的联系。     

秦岭山区美容杜鹃五个野生种群遗传多样性的ISSR分析

美容杜鹃是杜鹃花科杜鹃花属常绿观花植物,也是秦岭地区的特有属,在维持当地生态平衡方面发挥着重要作用,但目前资源正在遭受严重的破坏。该文通过ISSR分子标记技术对秦岭地区5个美容杜鹃野生种群进行遗传多样性分析,了解美容杜鹃不同种群的遗传分化,从而为美容杜鹃野生种质资源保护策略的制定提供理论依据。用8个ISSR引物对5个天然种群的90个单株进行扩增,共扩增出78条带(平均每条引物产生9.75条带),其中65条带是多态的,多态位点占总位点的百分率为83%。种群总的Nei’s基因多样性指数为0.3386,Shannon信息多态性指数为0.4972,表明美容杜鹃总的遗传多样性水平较高。种群多态位点百分率为82.71%~90.25%,Shannon信息多态性指数为0.4161~0.5867,Nei’s基因多样性指数为0.3044~0.4122,表明美容杜鹃不同种群遗传多样性水平差异较大。其中镇安木王种群和柞水牛背梁种群的遗传多样性水平较高。AMOVA分析表明种群内的遗传变异(91.22%)大于种群间的遗传变异(8.78%)。UPGMA聚类分析表明5个种群的遗传分化程度与地理距离没有相关性。因此建议尽可能地保护美容杜鹃所有的天然种群原生境条件,以最大限度保护其遗传变异。由于镇安和柞水种群具有较高的遗传多样性,因此建议优先对这2个种群实施就地保护和迁地保护。

为了解铁皮石斛(Dendrobium officinale)种质间的亲缘关系,利用ISSR技术对34份铁皮石斛种质资源进行亲缘关系和遗传多样性分析。结果表明,9条ISSR引物在34份种质中共扩增出78条带,多态位点百分率达100%。UPGMA聚类分析表明,种质的相似系数为0.61~0.92,在相似系数0.626处,福建省泰宁的野生铁皮石斛与栽培铁皮石斛分为两大类。泰宁野生铁皮石斛种群的Nei’s基因多样性(H)和遗传分化系数(Gst)分别为0.3111和0.4609,均高于栽培种群(0.3056和0.4204),表明泰宁野生铁皮石斛具有较丰富的多样性和较高的种群分化系数。AMOVA分析表明,铁皮石斛种群内变异指数为74%,种群间变异指数为26%,表明不同种群间可能存在基因交流。这些为不同地域的野生铁皮石斛资源的有效保护及利用提供理论依据及技术参考。     

濒危平胸龟两个自然居群的ISSR分析

利用22个ISSR引物研究了28个来自广东从化居群和21个来自福建寿宁居群的野生平胸龟(Platysternon megacephalum)的遗传多样性。结果表明,分布于这两个地区的平胸龟总居群和居群内均具有较高的遗传多样性,而广东从化居群遗传多样性高于福建寿宁居群。居群间的遗传变异度FST=0.3715(P<0.001),遗传分化系数Gst为0.2059。NJ树聚类分析显示,广东从化居群和福建寿宁居群各自聚成两个类群,有较明显的居群分化,具有一定的地理区域性,但基因流Nm为1.9279,这表明平胸龟两自然居群间存在一定基因流。此外,结合BSA技术,从11条引物中筛选出11个可作为鉴别广东从化居群或福建寿宁居群的分子标记。

汶川震区不同气候区受损植被土壤有机碳储量和碳密度分布特征

采用ISSR分子标记技术,对广西特有珍稀濒危植物小花异裂菊6个野生种群的遗传多样性进行了研究。结果表明：10条引物对141个个体共检测到96个位点,其中29个位点具有多态性,多态位点百分率( PPB)为30.21％。在物种水平上,小花异裂菊 PPB 为30.21％, Nei ’ s 基因多样性指数( H )为0.1054, Shannon’s信息指数(I)为0.1546。在种群水平上,PPB 为9％~19％,H 为0.0212~0.0513,I 为0.0339~0.0805。基于Nei’ s遗传多样性分析所得出的种群间基因分化系数Gst＝0.6905,表明种群内的遗传变异为30.95％,种群间的遗传变异为69.05％,小花异裂菊的遗传变异主要存在于种群间。 AMOVA分析结果与前面结果相符。小花异裂菊种群间的基因流( Nm)为0.2242。从遗传距离看,杨堤和兴坪种群的遗传距离最小,为0.0398,白沙和阳朔之间的遗传距离最大,为0.1609。在UPGMA聚类图中,6个种群可分为两组,阳朔和高田为一组,普益、白沙、兴坪、杨堤聚为一组。研究认为小花异裂菊的自交亲和的繁育系统和分布区域的片段化可能是导致种群遗传多样性较低和种群间高遗传分化的主要原因。该研究结果为该物种种质资源的保护提供了科学依据。     

Comparative genetic diversity of parasites and their hosts: population structure of an urban cockroach and its haplo-diploid parasite (oxyuroid nematode)

Few studies have investigated the genetic structure of both host and parasite populations at a level of populations and at a level of individuals. We investigated the genetic structure of the urban cockroach Blattella germanica and its oxyuroid parasite Blatticola blattae. Random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) markers were used to quantify genetic diversity between and within four populations (from two cities in France) of the host and its parasite. Diversity based on phenotypic frequencies was calculated for each RAPD marker using Shannon-Wiener's index. We used multivariate analyses to test the significance of genetic differentiation between host and parasite populations. Analysis of molecular variance was also used. Both methods gave similar results. Diversity between pairs of individuals was estimated by Nei & Li's index. Genetic diversity was higher within host or parasite populations (80% and 82%, respectively, of explained diversity) than between host or parasite populations (20% and 18%, respectively, explained diversity). The genetic distances between pairs of parasite populations (or individuals) were not correlated with the genetic distances between the corresponding pairs of host populations (or individuals).     

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.

圈养大熊猫冷冻精液对其种群遗传多样性的作用

在过去34年的圈养大熊猫种群保护工作中,我们成功建立了全球最大的大熊猫精子库,目前已保存50只大熊猫个体总计7 000余支细管冷冻精液(冻精)。冷冻精液一方面可以使物种的遗传资源得到长久保存,另一方面可以通过人工授精的方式促进种群繁育。但是,圈养大熊猫冷冻精液对其种群遗传多样性的作用尚未有明确报道。本研究首先根据成都大熊猫繁育研究基地2000—2014年冷冻精液人工授精数据,对比分析了冻精人工授精个体和圈养种群的遗传多样性。结果显示,冻精人工授精个体遗传多样性均高于同年圈养种群的平均遗传多样性,表明在繁殖年份中冻精人工授精可以显著提高圈养大熊猫种群的遗传多样性。统计精子库中所有冻精个体的平均血缘系数并与圈养种群进行对比分析,探究冷冻精液对圈养种群遗传多样性的潜在作用。结果显示,精子库中有21只已死亡个体的精液,其中有66.67%的个体平均血缘系数低于圈养种群;有14只20岁以上个体的精液,其中有50.00%的个体平均血缘系数低于圈养种群;另有15只20岁以下个体的精液,其中有53.33%的个体平均血缘系数低于圈养种群,表明冷冻精液对圈养种群遗传多样性的保护具有重要价值。综上所述,冷冻精液不但有效保存了大熊猫遗传资源,而且在保护圈养种群遗传多样性方面具有积极的促进作用。     

Conservation Genetics of Jacquemontia reclinata (Convolvulaceae), an Endangered Species from Southern Florida: Implications for Restoration Management

Guidelines designed to aid in the restoration of rare species have been previously proposed using two primary strategies to select individuals for augmentation and reintroduction: mixing progeny from different populations or separating individuals from different populations. Understanding the genetic structure and diversity of an endangered species can offer insights into conservation management strategies. We used random amplified polymorphic DNA markers to assess the genetic structure and diversity of Jacquemontia reclinata , a federally endangered species endemic to Southeastern Florida. We sampled 20 percent of total number of individuals from eight of the ten known wild populations. Across individuals high levels of polymorphic loci (94.7%) were found and larger populations had greater genetic diversity. Cluster and ordination analyses found that one population was genetically differentiated from all the others; this population grows in a unique habitat. Most genetic variation (77.5%) was found within populations, and genetic distances between populations were not explained by their geographic distances. We recommend the use of two management units in restoration programs for J. reclinata , one consisting of the genetically differentiated population and the second consisting of the other seven populations sampled.

Genomic distribution and estimation of nucleotide diversity in natural populations: perspectives from the collared flycatcher (Ficedula albicollis) genome

Properly estimating genetic diversity in populations of nonmodel species requires a basic understanding of how diversity is distributed across the genome and among individuals. To this end, we analysed whole‐genome resequencing data from 20 collared flycatchers (genome size ≈1.1 Gb; 10.13 million single nucleotide polymorphisms detected). Genomewide nucleotide diversity was almost identical among individuals (mean = 0.00394, range = 0.00384–0.00401), but diversity levels varied extensively across the genome (95% confidence interval for 200‐kb windows = 0.0013–0.0053). Diversity was related to selective constraint such that in comparison with intergenic DNA, diversity at fourfold degenerate sites was reduced to 85%, 3′ UTRs to 82%, 5′ UTRs to 70% and nondegenerate sites to 12%. There was a strong positive correlation between diversity and chromosome size, probably driven by a higher density of targets for selection on smaller chromosomes increasing the diversity‐reducing effect of linked selection. Simulations exploring the ability of sequence data from a small number of genetic markers to capture the observed diversity clearly demonstrated that diversity estimation from finite sampling of such data is bound to be associated with large confidence intervals. Nevertheless, we show that precision in diversity estimation in large outbred population benefits from increasing the number of loci rather than the number of individuals. Simulations mimicking RAD sequencing showed that this approach gives accurate estimates of genomewide diversity. Based on the patterns of observed diversity and the performed simulations, we provide broad recommendations for how genetic diversity should be estimated in natural populations.     

Genetic variability of an endangered Bromeliaceae species (Pitcairnia albiflos) from the Brazilian Atlantic rainforest

Pitcairnia albiflos is a Bromeliaceae species endemic to Brazil that has been included as data-deficient in the extinction risk list of Brazilian flora. We analyzed genetic variability in P. albiflos populations using RAPD markers to investigate population structure and reproductive mechanisms and also to evaluate the actual extinction risk level of this species. Leaves of 56 individuals of P. albiflos from three populations were collected: Urca Hill (UH, 20 individuals), Chacrinha State Park (CSP, 24 individuals) and Tijuca National Park (TNP, 12 individuals). The RAPD technique was effective in characterizing the genetic diversity in the P. albiflos populations since it was possible to differentiate the populations and to identify exclusive bands for at least two of them. Even if there is low genetic diversity among them (CSP-UH = 0.463; CSP-TNP = 0.440; UH-TNP = 0.524), the populations seem to be isolated according to the low genetic diversity observed within them (H(pop) CSP = 0.060; H(pop) UH = 0.042; H(pop) TNP = 0.130). This fact might be the result of clonal and self-reproduction predominance and also from environmental degradation around the collection areas. Consequently, it would be important to protect all populations both in situ and ex situ to prevent the decrease of genetic variability. The low genetic variability among individuals of the same population confirms the inclusion of this species as critically endangered in the risk list for Brazilian flora.
