应用RAPD技术分析奥利亚罗非鱼和尼罗罗非鱼的基因多态性

以随机扩增多态DNA技术(RAPD）分析了奥利亚罗非鱼和尼罗罗非鱼两个养殖群体的群体内及群体间遗传关系,并探讨了该技术在种群鉴定中的应用。RAPD引物筛选结果表明,所测试的20个随机引物中(Table 1),除一个引物未扩增出任何片段外,其余19个引物均扩增出1～11个大小不等的片段,长度大部分在500—3000bp之间,共扩增出220个片段,平均每个引物产生55个片段。两群体间共有片段70条,大部分引物的扩增产物具有种间多态性,种群间相似系数为0.727。以筛选的引物对两种群不同个体(Fig．1,Table 2)及种群混合样品(Fig.2,Table 3)进行RAPD分析。结果表明,不同引物在扩增图谱上表现很大差异：奥利亚罗非鱼不同个体间表现为一致的扩增图谱,种内相似系数达1000,显示了其种群内遗传变异的缺乏;尼罗罗非鱼种内相似系数为0．827,个体间存在不同程度的多态性;两个种群间的相似系数分别为0．767和0.742,表明种间有较高的同源性,遗传距离为0．235,略低于国外的报道．此外,两个养殖群体间的扩增图谱比较也暗示了遗传渐渗现象的存在。实验表明,RAPD标记可以作为一种可靠的遗传标记,用于不同鱼类种群的鉴定,RAPD分析方法是一种快速,简便且行之有鼓的鉴定鱼类种群的方法。     

辽宁省白头翁叶斑病菌的遗传多样性

白头翁叶斑病是近年来我国新报道发生的一种白头翁叶部病害,在辽宁省保护地白头翁生产中病害尤为严重.对采自辽宁省5个白头翁主产区的25株白头翁叶斑病菌(Ascochyta anemones)菌株及中国农业科学院惠赠的5个壳二孢属(Ascochyta spp.)菌株进行RAPD分析.结果表明:11条随机引物共扩增得到条带清晰并呈多态性的108条谱带,单个引物扩增DNA片段集中分布在200～ 2000 bp.采用NTSYS软件进行病原菌的聚类分析,发现供试的30株壳二孢菌的遗传相似系数为0.56～0.98,当相似系数为0.62时,30个菌株被划分为4个类群,说明辽宁省白头翁叶斑病菌具有丰富的遗传多样性.RAPD遗传聚类组群与白头翁叶斑病菌菌株的地理来源有一定的相关性,不同寄主来源的菌株之间存在明显的遗传差异.     

龙牙百合两种病害致病菌的分离、鉴定及抑制效应研究

利用常规组织分离法对广西永福地区种植的龙牙百合两种病害的病原菌进行了分离,并对分离菌株进行培养、纯化、回接和重新分离,最后利用形态学和分子生物学技术对致病菌株进行了鉴定;同时观察了三种植物生长调节物质对两种致病菌的抑制效果。结果表明:两种病害(A和B)症状表明是叶枯病和青霉病,分别从感病叶片中分离得到4株和3株病原菌,病原菌室外回接发现只有菌株A-4和B-2分别致病,致病率均达到100%。形态学鉴定,A-4为葡萄孢属病原菌,菌落白色绒絮状,圆型;菌丝匍匐向外、向上生长、气生,无色,有隔膜,有分枝,具有分生孢子和顶生孢子。B-2为青霉属病原菌,菌落圆形或不规则形,外围形成一圈白色绒毛状,中间蓝绿色;菌丝细,匍匐生长,具横隔,分生孢子梗扫帚状,孢子呈球形。两类菌株分别获得全长522 bp和551 bp的序列,把ITS序列与Genbank中已登陆的序列进行相似性分析,并结合田间致病症状,认为龙牙百合叶枯病致病菌可能是椭圆葡萄孢,而青霉病致病菌是扩展青霉。三种植物生长调节物质对两种致病菌的抑制效果表明,0.1~1.0 mmol·L~(-1)的SA不能完全抑制两种病原菌的生长,而0.5~1.0 mmol·L~(-1)BRs和Me-JA均能完全抑制病原菌A-4和B-2的生长。     

BHT对苹果果实轮纹病的防效及防御酶活性的影响

以‘富士’苹果果实为材料,采用刺伤接种法,测定了2,6-二叔丁基-4-甲基苯酚(BHT)对苹果果实轮纹病的防效及其防病机制。结果表明:0.1 mmol·L-1的BHT处理后间隔48~72 h接种轮纹病菌,其防效最高达74%以上,而该浓度BHT对轮纹病菌菌丝生长和分生孢子萌发均无明显的抑制作用。BHT处理后接种或不接种轮纹病菌,果实内超氧化物歧化酶(SOD)、过氧化物酶(POD)和过氧化氢酶(CAT)活性以及总抗氧化能力(T-AOC)均显著升高,其峰值是对照的1.82~4.56倍,且在测定时间内始终显著高于对照。同时,BHT处理的果实内丙二醛(MDA)含量变化较小,最高增幅仅为78.94%,而接种轮纹病菌的处理,MDA含量急速上升,最大增幅为316.77%。表明BHT通过持续提高‘富士’果实内防御酶活性和总抗氧化能力,同时降低膜脂过氧化产物MDA的积累,从而诱导果实对轮纹病的抗性。

Denaturing HPLC for identifying bacteria

Denaturing HPLC (DHPLC) is used in a wide variety of genetic applications. Here we introduce a new application for this technique, the identification of bacteria. We combined the capability of DHPLC to detect sequence variation with the principles of rRNA genotyping analysis to develop a high-throughput method of identifying microorganisms. Thirty-nine bacterial species from a broad spectrum of genera were tested to determine if DHPLC could be usedfor identification. Most (36 of 39) species of bacteria had a unique peak profile that could be used as a molecular fingerprint. Furthermore, a blind panel of 65 different bacterial isolates was analyzed to demonstrate the diagnostic capability of this method to specifically identify Yersinia pestis and Bacillus anthracis. All the Y. pestis samples (10 of 10) and the majority of B. anthracis samples (12 of 14) were correctly identified. The procedure had an overall specificity of 100%, overall sensitivity of 91.7%, and a predictive value of 96.9%. The data suggest that DHPLC of products spanning regions of genetic variability will be a useful application for bacterial identification.     

Molecular differentiation and taxonomy of the sunwatcher toadheaded agama species complex Phrynocephalus superspecies helioscopus (Pallas, 1771) (reptilia: agamidae)

Lizards of the sunwatcher toad-headed agama species complex Phrynocephalus superspecies helioscopus, mostly distributed in Middle Asia and Middle East, were examined using analysis of variation at the mitochondrial cytochrome oxidase c subunit I gene fragment and fingerprint analysis of nuclear DNA (inter-SINE PCR technique). A total of 86 individual tissue samples from 53 populations, to the full extent representing different parts of the species complex range, were subjected to molecular genetic examination, and surprisingly deep differentiation was revealed. The populations analyzed split into 12 isolated phylogroups, many of which were characterized by a narrow range and genetic isolation. Monophyly of sunwatcher (Ph. helioscopus) and Persian (Ph. persicus) toad-headed agamas was confirmed. However, both of these species probably represent the species complexes. Zoogeography of Middle Asiais discussed.     

Pathogenic Roles of the Bacteria carried by Bursaphelenchus mucronatus

Fifty strains of bacteria were isolated from six isolates of the nematode Bursaphelenchus mucronatus (Bm) from China and Russia and identified using the BioMerieux Vitek 32 system. In bioassay, 3 bacterial strains showed the high levels of phytotoxin production while 19, 16, and 12 strains showed moderately, low and no phytotoxin production, respectively. Inoculation of 2-month-old Pinus thunbergii seedling with each of the six Bm isolates showed that the mean number of days from inoculation to death of 80% of the seedlings was significantly related to the ratio of the total number of bacterial strains for a nematode isolate to the number of pathogenic bacterial strains of the nematode isolate. The results of inoculation of 3-year-old P. thunbergii seedlings showed that inoculation with either axenic Bm (ABm) or axenic B. xylophilus (ABx) and the pathogenic bacterial strain together were essential for inducing pine wilt. These findings demonstrate that wilt symptoms caused by Bm conform to our earlier hypothesis (Zhao et al., 2003) that pine wilt disease, induced by certain Bx or Bm isolates, is caused by a complex of both the nematodes and their associated pathogenic bacteria. The results also account for the variation in pathogenicity of Bm populations from different parts of the world.     

Molecular and phenotypic characterisation of Bacillus thuringiensis isolated during epizootics in Cydia pomonella L

Twelve Bacillus thuringiensis strains were isolated from intestinal tracts of Cydia pomonella larvae during epizootics in different laboratory insect culture lines. Phenotypic and genetic similarity of these isolates, together with two cultured from Leucoma salicis larvae and 14 reference B. thuringiensis strains were determined. The epizootic bacteria did not form a single group based on numerical analysis of biochemical properties. Simple RAPD method with only one primer does not allow estimating the genetic similarity of B. thuringiensis strains. We propose a novel strategy based on combining several DNA patterns obtained by RAPD technique with different primers for B. thuringiensis typing. Majority of infections in the C. pomonella culture lines were caused by bacteria with different genotypes. However, two isolates cultured from infected insects at different time (one strain was isolated in 1990 and the other in 1992) had identical DNA fingerprint that suggested a possibility of these bacteria to survive in the laboratory and to cause infections in different years. The results of SDS-PAGE of whole-cell proteins revealed a possibility to apply protein profile analysis in epidemiological investigations of infections caused by B. thuringiensis. Strains with identical DNA patterns had very similar whole-cell protein profiles.     

Characterization of the formae speciales of Fusarium oxysporum causing wilts of cucurbits by DNA fingerprinting with nuclear repetitive DNA sequences.

The genetic relatedness of five formae speciales of Fusarium oxysporum causing wilts of cucurbit plants was determined by DNA fingerprinting with the moderately repetitive DNA sequences FOLR1 to FOLR4. The four FOLR clones were chosen from a genomic library made from F. oxysporum f. sp. lagenariae 03-05118. Total DNAs from 50 strains representing five cucurbit-infecting formae speciales, cucumerinum, melonis, lagenariae, niveum, and momordicae, and 6 strains of formae speciales pathogenic to other plants were digested with EcoRV and hybridized with 32P-labeled FOLR probes. The strains were clearly distinguishable at the formae specialis level on the basis of FOLR DNA fingerprints. Fifty-two fingerprint types were detected among the 56 strains by using all FOLR probes. These probes were used to infer phylogenetic relationships among the DNA fingerprint types by the unweighted pair group method using averages and parsimony analysis. The fingerprint types detected in each of the formae speciales cucumerinum, lagenariae, niveum, and momordicae were grouped into a single cluster. However, two different genetic groups occurred in the formae specialis melonis. The two groups also differed in pathogenicity: one group caused wilts of muskmelon and oriental melon, while the second was pathogenic only to muskmelon. The fingerprint types of different formae speciales pathogenic to plants other than cucurbits were distinguishable from one another and from the fingerprints of the cucurbit-infecting strains. These results suggest that the cucurbit-infecting formae speciales are intraspecific variants distinguishable at the DNA level and in their host range.     

Intra- and Interspecific Variation in Plant Response to Inoculation with Deleterious Rhizosphere Pseudomonads

Accessions of wheat, spinach, lettuce and different Brassica species were tested in greenhouse experiments for reaction to inoculation with two isolates of growth-inhibitory rhizosphere bacteria. Seedlings grown in non-sterile soil were inoculated with bacterial suspension and shoot dry weight was measured after five weeks. Large differences were found between the plant species tested in their average sensitivity to each bacterial isolate, and in the majority of plant species, significant differences were also found between accessions in the response to one or both isolates. These findings suggest that, in addition to the variation between plant species, intraspecific variation in the reaction to deleterious bacteria is a common feature in plants. This supports the hypothesis that plant reaction to rhizosphere bacteria is under genetic control. The results further indicate specificity in the interactions between plants and bacterial isolates, both at the plant species level and at the accession level.     

URP‐based DNA Fingerprinting of Bipolaris sorokiniana Isolates Causing Spot Blotch of Wheat

Spot blotch, caused by the pathogen Bipolaris sorokiniana is an important disease of wheat and is responsible for large economic losses world wide. In this study, molecular variability in B. sorokiniana isolates collected from different regions of India was investigated using URP‐PCR technique. All the 40 isolates used in the study were pathogenic when tested on susceptible host, Agra local, although they varied in pathogenicity. Isolate BS‐49 was least virulent showing 4.5 infection index while BS‐75 was the most virulent with 63.4 infection index. The universal rice primers (URPs’) are primers which have been derived from DNA repeat sequences in the rice genome. Out of the 12 URP markers used in the study, 10 markers were effective in producing polymorphic fingerprint patterns from DNA of B. sorokiniana isolates. The analysis of entire fingerprint profile using unweighted pair group method with arithmetic averages (UPGMA) differentiated B. sorokiniana isolates obtained from different geographic regions. One isolate BS‐53 from northern hill zone was different from rest of the isolates showing less than 50% similarity. Broadly, three major clusters were obtained using UPGMA method. One cluster consisted of isolates from North western plain zone; second cluster having isolates from North eastern plain zone and third cluster consisted of isolates from Peninsular zone showing more than 75% genetic similarity among them. One of the markers, URP‐2F (5′GTGTGCGATCAGTTGCTGGG3′) amplified three monomorphic bands of 0.60, 0.80 and 0.90 kb size which could be used as specific markers for identification of B. sorokiniana. Further, based on URP‐PCR analysis, the grouping of the isolates according to the geographic origin was possible. This analysis also provided important information on the degree of genetic variability and relationship between the isolates of B. sorokiniana.     

Characterization of abundance and diversity of lactic acid bacteria in the hindgut of wood- and soil-feeding termites by molecular and culture-dependent techniques

Lactic acid bacteria have been identified as typical and numerically significant members of the gut microbiota of Reticulitermes flavipes and other wood-feeding lower termites. We found that also in the guts of the higher termites Nasutitermes arborum (wood-feeding), Thoracotermes macrothorax, and Anoplotermes pacificus (both soil-feeding), lactic acid bacteria represent the largest group of culturable carbohydrate-utilizing bacteria (3.6-5.2x10(4) bacteria per gut; 43%-54% of all colonies). All isolates were coccoid and phenotypically difficult to distinguish, but their enterobacterial repetitive intergenic consensus sequence (ERIC) fingerprint patterns showed a significant genetic diversity. Six different genotypes each were identified among the isolates from R. flavipes and T. macrothorax, and representative strains were selected for further characterization. By 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis, strain RfL6 from R. flavipes was classified as a close relative of Enterococcus faecalis, whereas strain RfLs4 from R. flavipes and strain TmLO5 from T. macrothorax were closely related to Lactococcus lactis. All strains consumed oxygen during growth on glucose and cellobiose; oxygen consumption of these and other isolates from both termite species was due to NADH and pyruvate oxidase activities, but did not result in H2O2 formation. In order to assess the significance of the isolates in the hindgut, denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis was used to compare the fingerprints of 16S rRNA genes in the bacterial community of R. flavipes with those of representative isolates. The major DNA band from the hindgut bacterial community was further separated by bisbenzimide-polyethylene glycol electrophoresis, and the two resulting bands were sequenced. Whereas one sequence belonged to a spirochete, the second sequence was closely related to the sequences of the Lactococcus strains RfLs4 and TmLO5. Apparently, those isolates represent strains of a new Lactococcus species which forms a significant fraction of the complex hindgut community of the lower termite R. flavipes and possibly also of other termites.     

Molecular characterization of Macrophomina phaseolina and Fusarium species by a single primer RAPD technique

Charcoal root rot and wilt, are two economically important diseases of many crop plants in North and South America, Asia and Africa and some parts of Europe. Genetic variation in 43 isolates of Macrophomina phaseolina and 22 isolates of Fusarium species, collected from geographically distinct regions over a range of hosts, was studied using random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) markers. Initially, 210 arbitrary nucleotide (10-mer) primers were tested for amplification of genomic DNA of one M. phaseolina isolate, 70 primers amplified the genomic DNA of M. phaseolina. One primer OPA-13 (5'-CAGCACCCAC-3') produced fingerprint profiles, which clearly distinguished between the different isolates of M. phaseolina. UPGMA analysis classified these isolates into five major groups. By primer OPA-13, 22 isolates of pathogenic and non-pathogenic Fusarium species of different formae-speciales and races, were also distinguished from M. phaseolina. This marker is useful for distinguishing between these two important plant pathogens irrespective of hosts, virulence spectrum and races. This is the first report of reliable diagnosis of two soilborne pathogens (root/collar rot and wilt causing pathogens) at the level of isolates, formae-speciales and races by a single primer RAPD procedure with uniform PCR conditions.     

Genetic diversity in ruminal isolates ofSelenomonas ruminantium

Diversity in the ruminal bacterial speciesSelenomonas ruminantium has been investigated by DNA fingerprinting, DNA-DNA hybridization, plasmid analysis, bacteriophage sensitivity, and monoclonal antibody-based immunoassay. Twenty different isolates from the sheep rumen were initially classified morphologically and by carbon source utilization. DNA fingerprint analyses and quantitative genomic DNA hybridizations showed that limited grouping of these isolates was possible, with the largest group comprising four isolates, and two other groups comprising two isolates each. The remaining isolates were unique. Plasmids in four different size classes, 2.5, 3.7, 6.5 and 12.0 kbp, were identified, but these did not appear in all isolates. There was no apparent relationship between DNA fingerprint pattern and plasmid content. Only three isolates were sensitive to theS. ruminantium-specific temperate bacteriophage S-1. These data indicate that substantial genetic diversity exists within the ruminal speciesS. ruminantium, but that at least one strain may represent up to 20% of isolates.
