外生菌根真菌土生空团菌种群遗传多样性与结构研究

土生空团菌Cenococcum geophilum是生态系统中广泛分布的外生菌根真菌,具有丰富的遗传多样性和重要的生态功能。为揭示土生空团菌的种群遗传多样性和结构,本研究对采集自中国10个森林地点的桦木科Betulaceae、壳斗科Fagaceae和松科Pinaceae植物根系219份样品高通量测序的土生空团菌ITS2序列进行分析。结果表明4 380条土生空团菌ITS2序列共划分为137个单倍型（Hap_1-Hap_137）,其中Hap_1是3科植物的优势单倍型并分布于所有地点,有48个单倍型分布于少数几个地点,但有88个单倍型仅分布于单个地点。非参数（Kruskal-Wallis）检验结果表明地点对土生空团菌单倍型的丰度和多样性具有显著影响,而宿主植物科对其无显著影响。分子方差分析（AMOVA）结果显示土生空团菌在10个地理种群间和3个植物科种群间的遗传分化均不明显,而遗传分化主要来自于种群内的个体差异。基于K-2P遗传距离的邻接法（NJ）树显示10个地理种群可以划分为3支,壳斗科土生空团菌种群的遗传距离比桦木科和松科远。土生空团菌单倍型组成在不同地点间和不同植物科间均有明显差异,有些土生空团菌单倍型具有地点和植物科的偏好性。研究结果为进一步揭示土生空团菌遗传多样性的生态功能提供科学依据。

广东高州7个普通野生稻居群遗传结构的SSR分析

利用32对SSR引物对来自全部7个自然居群的217份广东高州普通野生稻(简称“高野”)材料进行遗传结构、多样性和遗传聚类分析。结果表明, 高野各居群因遗传结构存在差异而相对独立, 但各居群之间由于存在基因渗透又具有一定的相似性。高野总体多样性指数(Ht)为0.65, 居群内的多样性(HS=0.431)略大于居群间的多样性(DS=0.392), 二者差异并不显著。居群间的遗传分化系数(GST)为0.611, 说明高野群体的遗传差异是由居群内和居群间的遗传分化共同作用的结果。其中A、B、E居群间, D、F、G居群间遗传相似性较高, C居群与其它居群之间存在较大差异。根据7个居群的遗传结构, 结合其地理分布状况, 认为遗传多样性最大的B和E居群以及遗传分化最小的C居群应作为重点对象进行保护。

广东高州7个普通野生稻居群遗传结构的SSR分析

利用32对SSR引物对来自全部7个自然居群的217份广东高州普通野生稻（简称＂高野＂）材料进行遗传结构、多样性和遗传聚类分析。结果表明,高野各居群因遗传结构存在差异而相对独立,但各居群之间由于存在基因渗透又具有一定的相似性。高野总体多样性指数（Ht）为0.65,居群内的多样性（HS=0.431）略大于居群间的多样性（DS=0.392）,二者差异并不显著。居群间的遗传分化系数（GST）为0.611,说明高野群体的遗传差异是由居群内和居群间的遗传分化共同作用的结果。其中A、B、E居群间,D、F、G居群间遗传相似性较高,C居群与其它居群之间存在较大差异。根据7个居群的遗传结构,结合其地理分布状况,认为遗传多样性最大的B和E居群以及遗传分化最小的C居群应作为重点对象进行保护。     

白木香遗传多样性研究

用ISSR分子标记技术对白木香(Aquilaria sinensis(Lour.)Gilg)的遗传多样性进行分析.结果表明,白木香物种水平的遗传多样性较高,而居群水平的遗传多样性相对较低,其中广东茂名居群的遗传多样性最高.白木香居群间存在较大的遗传分化,遗传分化系数G_(ST)=0.4425,表明居群内遗传分化大于居群间的分化.UPGMA聚类分析表明白木香分化为两个谱系,其中谱系Ⅰ由广东、福建、海南的5居群组成,谱系Ⅱ由广西、云南的3个居群组成.居群间的基因交流受到阻碍(Nm=0.6633<1),阻碍主要产生于两个谱系间,而谱系内部的居群间在较近的历史时期基因交流频繁(Nm分别为1.4382和1.2333),谱系分化的原因主要是地理因素,两谱系交界处有云开山脉等形成的天然屏障,阻碍物种的扩展和基因交流.     

基于cpDNA和ITS序列对庭藤复合群的居群遗传学研究

采用2个叶绿体基因组片段(ndh J-trn F和trn D-trn T)和核基因组ITS序列对分布于中国东部和相邻地区的庭藤复合群(Indigofera decora complex)的24个居群进行分析,探讨该复合群的遗传多样性、单倍型分布、遗传结构和居群历史动态。cp DNA和ITS序列分析表明,庭藤复合群的单倍型多样性较高,而总体遗传多样性偏低(cp DNA片段:Hd=0.778,π=0.00123;ITS:Hd=0.909,π=0.01290);皖浙地区居群的遗传多样性相对较高,推测其可能是该复合群遗传多样性的分布中心。遗传变异主要存在于复合群居群间,种内居群间遗传分化较大(cp DNA片段:FST=0.848;ITS:FST=0.787);基因流较小(cp DNA片段:Nm=0.228;ITS:Nm=0.241),主要是地理隔离(遗传漂变)或生境片段化促进了物种形成;复合群的不同物种间存在由基因渐渗引起的单倍型共享现象,可能是种间不完全的生殖隔离所致。花木蓝的居群单独聚为一枝,且与其他种无共享单倍型,因此应保留花木蓝种的分类地位,而其他种的分类地位有待进一步研究。     

中国新疆灰叶胡杨群体遗传多样性的SSR分析

以中国新疆灰叶胡杨( Populus pruinosa)的9个天然居群的135个样品为材料,利用12对荧光SSR引物对其遗传多样性和遗传结构进行研究.结果表明:12对引物共检测到136个位点,平均每个引物11个条带,居群的平均多态位点比率平均为0.972、Shannon 指数(Ⅰ)平均为1.185、Nei指数(h)平均为0.541、观察杂合度Ho为0.321、期望杂合度He为0.560,表明灰叶胡杨的遗传多样性水平较丰富.9个灰叶胡杨天然居群中泽普居群的遗传多样性最为丰富,阿拉尔14团遗传多样性最为贫乏.AMOVA分子差异分析显示:12％的遗传变异存在居群间,88％的遗传变异则存在居群内,基因分化系数Gst为17.10％,证明灰叶胡杨居群的遗传分化程度较低.根据遗传分化系数,测得居群间的基因流(Nm)为2.424.9个居群的平均遗传距离为0.244,14T居群和MGT居群遗传距离最近,遗传一致度最大.利用UPGMA法对9个居群进行聚类分析,灰叶胡杨9个自然居群分为4大类:48团(48T)、14团(14T)、麦盖提县(MGT)、墨玉县(MY)、沙雅县(SY)聚为一大类,阿瓦提县(AWT)和阿拉尔和田河古道(ALE)居群聚为一大类,最后泽普县(ZP)、巴楚县的夏马勒林场(XML)各自单独为一类.经Mantel检验,9个灰叶胡杨居群的遗传距离和地理距离相关性不显著.总之,泽普居群遗传多样性最丰富,因此在指定原位种质保护计划时应优先考虑泽普居群.     

Heterogeneity of ITS1 sequences in the biting midge Culicoides impunctatus (Goetghebuer) suggests a population in Argyll, Scotland, may be genetically distinct.

Ribosomal DNA (rDNA) internal transcribed spacer 1 (ITS1) is a useful genomic region for understanding evolutionary and genetic relationships. In the current study, variation in ITS1 from eight Culicoides species was analysed by PCR, DNA restriction analysis, cloning, and sequencing. ITS1 variants were essentially homogenized within a species, as sequences were identical or closely related. However, Culicoides impunctatus ITS1 sequences derived from one (Argyll) of five populations contained considerable genomic diversity. The secondary structure of each ITS1 was computed. The structure aided the production of an accurate alignment and the identification of a large indel. A phylogenetic analysis was performed. Some of the sequences from the diverse Argyll C. impunctatus population were more related to Culicoides imicola, a vector of animal pathogens in the Old World, than they were to the other C. impunctatus sequences. Thus, the rDNA ITS1 regions of individuals in the Argyll C. impunctatus population were not conforming to the general theory of rDNA homogenization through molecular drive.     

Heterogeneity in the ITS of the ribosomal DNA of Pyrenophora graminea isolates differing in xylanase and amylase production

Xylanase and amylase have gained increasing interest because of their various biotechnology applications. In this research, the restriction of PCR-amplified internal transcribed spacers (ITS) of ribosomal DNA (rDNA) was used to confirm the genetic variation among 22 isolates of Pyrenophora graminea differing in their xylanase and amylase production. The fingerprints generated from the six restriction digestions of the rDNA ITS region showed high levels ofintraspecific variation within the P. graminea population. Neighbour-Joining diagram, based on Nei's genetic distances, showed that isolates formed two phylogenetic groups. No apparent association could be observed between xylanase and amylase production and genetic diversity among the twenty-two isolates.     

桑黄真菌分子鉴定及遗传多样性分析

Neighbour-Joining diagram, based on Nei’s genetic distances, showed that isolates formed two phylogenetic groups. No apparent association could be observed between xylanase and amylase production and genetic diversity among the twenty-two isolates.     

Identification and Assessing the Cultivars of Laminaria Lamx. （Phaeophyceae） with Molecular Markers

Molecular markers were used to identify and assess cultivars ofLaminaria Lamx. and to delineate their phylogenetic relationships. Random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) analysis was used for detection. After screening, 11 primers were selected and they yielded 133 bands in all, of which approximately 99.2% were polymorphic. The genetic distances between gametophytes ranged from 0.412 to 0.956.Two clusters were formed with the unweighted pair group method with arithmetic mean (UPGMA) dendrogram based on the simple matching coefficient. All cultivars ofLaminariajaponica Aresch. used for breeding in China fell into one cluster. L.japonica from Japan, L. saccharina (L.) Lam., and L. angustata Kjellm.formed the other cluster and showed higher genetic variation than L. japonica from China. Nuclear ribosomal DNA (rDNA) sequences, including internal transcribed spacers (ITS1 and ITS2) were studied and aligned. The nucleotides of the sequences ranged from 634 to 668, with a total of 692 positions including ITS1, ITS2, and the 5.8S coding region. The phylogenetic tree obtained by the neighbor-joining method favored, to some extent, the results revealed by RAPD analysis. The present study indicates that RAPD and ITS analyses could be used to identify and assess Laminaria germplasm and to distinguish some species and, even intraspecies, in Laminaria.

Phylogeographic congruence between mtDNA and rDNA ITS markers in brown trout

Variation in the internal transcribed spacer (ITS) of rDNA was examined throughout the range of the brown trout (Salmo trutta) to analyze the usefulness of this molecular marker for phylogeographic analysis. The results were compared with those previously obtained with mtDNA, a region exhaustively analyzed along the brown trout distribution. ITS2 was essentially conserved at all populations sampled, no informative characters being detected across the main lineages described in this species. Conversely, ITS1 showed a greater homogenization than other genetic markers at a microgeographic scale, with variation partitioning into several major phylogenetic groups. Phylogeographic patterns were partially congruent between both ITS1 and mtDNA. The main discrepancies were the detection of intra-individual variation and putative recombinant ITS1 sequences in hybridization areas between genetically different, yet historically overlapping, assemblages. Also, the existence of an ancient ITS1 sequence in the Mediterranean-southeastern area (rMEDA), not revealed by mtDNA analysis, was evidenced after rDNA ITS1 analysis.     

CHARACTERIZATION OF OSTREOPSIS AND COOLIA (DINOPHYCEAE) ISOLATES IN THE WESTERN MEDITERRANEAN SEA BASED ON MORPHOLOGY,TOXICITY AND INTERNAL TRANSCRIBED SPACER 5.8S rDNA SEQUENCES1

Several isolates of epiphytic dinoflagellates belonging to the genera Ostreopsis Schmidt and Coolia Meunier from the western Mediterranean Sea were examined by LM and EM, toxicity assays, and internal transcribed spacer (ITS) regions of nuclear rDNA, and 5.8S rDNA were sequenced. Morphological comparisons based on the analyses of cell shape, size, thecal plates, and surface ornamentation revealed two distinct species in the western Mediterranean: O. cf. siamensis Schmidt from the Catalan, Andalusian, and Sicilian coasts and O. ovata Fukuyo from the Ligurian coast, southern Tyrrhenian Sea, and Balearic Islands. Both Ostreopsis species were toxic; however, no differences in toxicity were detected between the two Ostreopsis species. Coolia monotis Meunier was nontoxic. The morphological studies were supported by phylogenetic analyses; all western Mediterranean isolates of O. cf. siamensis showed ITS and 5.8S rDNA sequences identical to each other and so did those of O. ovata, whereas high genetic diversity was detected between the western Mediterranean and Asian isolates of O. ovata. The nucleotide sequence analyses of the C. monotis strains showed that all C. monotis isolates from Europe formed a homogeneous clade. Further, the genetic diversity was high between the European and Asian C. monotis isolates. In this study, genetic markers combined with morphology and toxicity analyses was useful in the taxonomic and phylogenetic studies of the Ostreopsidaceae in a temperate area.
