Physical map of chloroplast DNA in sugi,Cryptomeria japonica

Summary To investigate the evolution of conifer species, we constructed a physical map of the chloroplast DNA of sugi, Cryptomeria japonica, with four restriction endonucleases, PstI, SalI, SacI and XhoI. The chloroplast genome of C. japonica was found to be a circular molecule with a total size of approximately 133 kb. This molecule lacked an inverted repeat. Twenty genes were localized on the physical map of C. japonica cpDNA by Southern hybridization. The chloroplast genome structure of C. japonica showed considerable rearrangements of the standard genome type found in vascular plants and differed markedly from that of tobacco. The difference was explicable by one deletion and five inversions. The chloroplast genome of C. japonica differed too from that of the genus Pinus which also lacks one of the inverted repeats. The results indicate that the conifer group originated monophyletically from an ancient lineage, and diverged independently after loss of an inverted repeat structure.     

Polymorphism of microsatellite loci in cultivars and species of pear (Pyrus L.)

Using five SSR markers, polymorphism ofmicrosatellite loci was examined in 46 cultivars and five species of pear (Pyrus ussuriensis, P. bretscgneideri, P. pyraster, and P. elaegnifolia). Most of the accessions examined demonstrated the presence of unique allele sets. The degree of relationship between Russian and Western European pear cultivar was established. It was demonstrated that P. ussuriensis and its first generation progeny were genetically distant from typical cultivars of P. communis, as well as from the P. communis x P. ussuriensis hybrids of later generations. SSR estimates of the cultivar relatedness were shown to correlate with the corresponding pedigree-based estimates. A number of SSR alleles specific to P. ussuriensis were identified. Based on the analysis of microsatellite loci, the allelic composition was determined for each cultivar examined. These data can serve as a molecular certificate of the cultivar.     

Genetic linkage maps constructed by using an interspecific cross between Japanese and European pears

Genetic linkage maps of the European pear ( Pyrus communis L.) cultivar 'Bartlett' and the Japanese pear ( Pyrus pyrifolia Nakai) cultivar 'Housui' were constructed based on AFLPs, SSRs from pear, apple and Prunus, isozymes and phenotypic traits by using their F(1) progenies. The map of the female parent Bartlett consisted of 226 loci including 175 AFLPs, 49 SSRs, one isozyme and one S locus on 18 linkage groups over a total length of 949 cM, while that for 'Housui' contained 154 loci including 106 AFLPs, 42 SSRs, two phenotypic traits and the other four markers on 17 linkage groups encompassing a genetic distance of 926 cM. These maps were partially aligned using 20 codominant markers which showed segregating alleles in both parents. Compared with the reports of apple genetic maps, these pear maps were not saturated but were near saturation. Distorted segregation was observed in two and one regions of the genome of Bartlett and Housui, respectively. The position of 14 SSRs originating from apple could be successfully determined in pear maps, which enabled us to compare the two maps. Some SSRs developed from Prunus (peach, cherry) were also mapped. The relationships between pear and the other species belonging to the Rosaceae were discussed based on the position of SSRs.

梨是配子体型自交不亲和植物,确定不同品种的S基因型是科学杂交授粉及提高梨产量和品质的基础。本文根据砂梨S1-9等位基因一级结构特征,设计特异引物PF和PR,以白梨（Pyrus bretschneideri）种鹅梨（Pyrus bretschneideri‘Eli’）和砂梨（Pyrus pyrifolia）品种博多青（Pyrus pyrifolia‘Hakataao’）的叶片基因组DNA为模板,通过PCR·RFLP系统检测、克隆测序以及生物信息学分析,分离鉴定了它们的片段大小相似的2条S等位基因,从中获得1条新的S基因,命名为S34-RNase基因,并确定了这2个梨品种的S基因型,分别为鹅梨S13S34和博多青S22S34。     

Structural analysis of chloroplast DNA in Prunus (Rosaceae): evolution, genetic diversity and unequal mutations

In order to understand the evolutionary aspects of the chloroplast DNA (cpDNA) structures in Rosaceous plants, a physical map of peach (Prunus persica cv. Hakuhou) cpDNA was constructed. Fourteen lambda phage clones which covered the entire sequence of the peach cpDNA were digested by restriction enzymes (SalI, XhoI, BamHI, SacI, and PstI) used singly or in combination. The molecular size of peach cpDNA was estimated to be about 152 kb. The gene order and contents were revealed to be equivalent to those of standard type of angiosperms by the localization of 31 genes on the physical map. Eighteen accessions from 14 Prunus species (P. persica, P. mira, P. davidiana, P. cerasis, P. cerasifera, P. domestica, P. insititia, P. spinosa, P. salicina, P. maritima, P. armeniaca, P. mume, P. tomentosa, P. zippeliana, and P. salicifolia) and one interspecific hybrid were used for the structural analysis of cpDNAs. Seventeen mutations (16 recognition site changes and one length mutation) were found in the cpDNA of these 18 accessions by RFLP analysis allowing a classification into 11 genome types. Although the base substitution rate in the recognition site (100p = 0.72) of cpDNA in Prunus was similar to that of other plants, i.e., Triticum–Aegilops, Brassica, and Pisum, it differed from Pyrus (100p = 0.15) in Rosaceae. Seven mutations including one length mutation were densely located within a region of about 9.1 kb which includes psbA and atpA in the left border of a large single-copy region of Prunus cpDNAs. The length mutation was detected only in P. persica and consisted of a 277 bp deletion which occurred in a spacer region between the trnS and trnG genes within the 9.1 kb region. Additional fragment length mutations (insertion/deletion), which were not detected by RFLP analysis, were revealed by PCR and sequence analyses in P. zippeliana and P. salicifolia. All of these length mutations occurred within the 9.1 kb region between psbA and atpA. This region could be an intra-molecular recombinational hotspot in Prunus species.     

Genetic mapping of mitochondrial markers by recombinational analysis in Chlamydomonas reinhardtii

The mitochondrial genome of Chlamydomonas reinhardtii is a 15.8 kb linear DNA molecule present in multiple copies. In crosses, the meiotic products only inherit the mitochondrial genome of the mating type minus (paternal) parent. In contrast mitotic zygotes transmit maternal and paternal mitochondrial DNA copies to their diploid progeny and recombinational events between molecules of both origins frequently occur. Six mitochondrial mutants unable to grow in the dark (dk^? mutants) were crossed in various combinations and the percentages of wild-type dk⁺ recombinants were determined in mitotic zygotes when all progeny cells had become homoplasmic for the mitochondrial genome. In crosses between strains mutated in the COB (apocytochrome ) gene and strains mutated in the COX1 (subunit 1 of cytochrome oxidase) gene, the frequency of recombination was 13.7% (± 3.2%). The corresponding physical distance between the mutation sites was 4.3 kb. In crosses between strains carrying mutations separated by about 20 bp, a recombinational frequency of 0.04% (± 0.02%) was found. Two other mutants not yet characterized at the molecular level were also used for recombinational studies. From these data, a linear genetic map of the mitochondrial genome could be drawn. This map is consistent with the positions of the mutation sites on the mitochondrial DNA molecule and thereby validates the method used to generate the map. The frequency of recombination per physical distance unit (3.2% ± 0.7% per kilobase) is compared with those obtained for other organellar genomes in yeasts and Chlamydomonas.     

Phylogenetic utility of structural alterations found in the chloroplast genome of pear: hypervariable regions in a highly conserved genome

The genome structure of pear chloroplast DNA (cpDNA) is extremely highly conserved in comparison with that of other angiosperms, and therefore, relatively few phylogenetic analyses for pear (Pyrus spp.) have been carried out using cpDNA as a marker. In this study, we identified two hypervariable regions in intergenic spacers of cpDNA from 21 species in Pyrus. One of these regions is 857 bp in length and lies between the accD-psaI genes, and the other is a 904-bp region between the rps16-trnQ genes. The mutation rate of gaps for the two regions was 10 and 26 times higher, respectively, than the base change rate. Twenty-five haplotypes were revealed among 21 species in Pyrus by 36 mutations found in the two regions. These included 27 gaps and 9 base changes but excluded cpSSRs. Phylogenetic relationships between the 25 haplotypes were generated by haplotype network analysis. The 25 haplotypes represented three groups (types A–C) with two large deletions, one 228 bp in length between the accD-psaI genes and the other 141 bp between the rps16-trnQ genes. Types A and B consisted mostly of pears native to East and South Asia. Type C contained mainly Pyrus communis and wild relatives native to Europe, West and Central Asia, Russia, and Africa. Type B might have diverged from primitives such as pea pears in type A. Phylogenetic utility of structural alterations (gaps) occurring in the hypervariable regions of Pyrus cpDNA is discussed.

In crosses between strains mutated in the COB (apocytochrome ) gene and strains mutated in the COX1 (subunit 1 of cytochrome oxidase) gene, the frequency of recombination was 13.7% (± 3.2%). The corresponding physical distance between the mutation sites was 4.3 kb. In crosses between strains carrying mutations separated by about 20 bp, a recombinational frequency of 0.04% (± 0.02%) was found. Two other mutants not yet characterized at the molecular level were also used for recombinational studies. From these data, a linear genetic map of the mitochondrial genome could be drawn. This map is consistent with the positions of the mutation sites on the mitochondrial DNA molecule and thereby validates the method used to generate the map. The frequency of recombination per physical distance unit (3.2% ± 0.7% per kilobase) is compared with those obtained for other organellar genomes in yeasts and Chlamydomonas.     

中国梨2个自交不亲和新等位基因(S等位基因)的分子鉴定

自交不亲和是显花植物的一种重要生殖生理现象,为探明中国梨的自交不亲和特性,对‘锦香’(Pyrus bretschneideri cv. Jinxiang)和‘鹅酥’(Pyrus bretschneideri cv. Esu)2个中国梨品种进行了基因组PCR特异扩增、S基因序列分析及田间杂交授粉试验。结果确定它们各含1个新S-RNA酶基因,分别命名为S37-和S38-RNase,GenBank序列号为DQ839238和DQ839239。生物信息学分析结果表明,S37-和S38-RNA酶的推导氨基酸序列与S1-至S36-RNA酶36个梨S基因具有相同的、高度保守的C1和C2区,但其高变区与S1-至S36-RNA酶差异较大,其中与S15的差异最小,只有3个氨基酸不同。在推导的氨基酸水平上,S37与S38有96%的序列相似性,但两者与S15的相似性更高,皆为98%,与S32的相似性最低,都只有63%;S37和S38的内含子较大,分别为786bp和723bp,与S15的777bp大小接近。最后,经分析验证确定‘锦香’和‘鹅酥’的S基因型分别为S34S37和S15S38。     

Immunological and molecular comparison of polyphenol oxidase in Rosaceae fruit trees.

An antibody raised against apple polyphenol oxidase (PPO) cross-reacted with PPOs from Japanese pear (Pyrus pyrifolia), pear (Pyrus communis), peach (Prunus persica), Chinese quince (Pseudocydonia sinensis) and Japanese loquat (Eriobotrya japonica). Core fragments (681 bp) of the corresponding PPO genes were amplified and characterized. The deduced protein sequences showed identities of 85.3 to 97.5%. Chlorogenic acid oxidase activity of these PPOs showed higher activities when assayed at pH 4 than at pH 6. These results indicate that PPOs in Rosaceae plants are structurally and enzymatically similar.     

Ribosomal and chloroplast DNA restriction site mutations and the radiation ofRobinsonia (Asteraceae: Senecioneae) on the Juan Fernandez Islands

Restriction site mutations in the chloroplast (cpDNA) and ribosomal DNA (rDNA) were examined in 41 populations representing five of the seven recognized species of the genusRobinsonia, which is endemic to the Juan Fernandez Islands. No intraspecific variation was detected for cpDNA but one population of one of the species (R. evenia) had a restriction site mutation in rDNA not detected elsewhere. No restriction site mutations were unique to all species ofRobinsonia relative to the species ofSenecio used as outgroups. All 13 mutations (eight from cpDNA and five from rDNA) are restricted to single species, and thus provide no cladistically useful information within the genus. The distribution of mutations is concordant with the hypothesis of a rapid adaptive radiation ofRobinsonia subsequent to the dispersal of its ancestor to Masatierra.

Chloroplast genome organization of bromegrass,Bromus inermis Leyss

Summary A physical map of the Bromus inermis chloroplast genome was constructed using heterologous probes of barley and wheat chloroplast DNA (cpDNA) to locate restriction sites. The map was aligned from data obtained from filter hybridization experiments on single and double enzyme digests. Cleavage sites for the enzymes PstI, SalI, KpnI, XhoI and PvuII were mapped. The chloroplast genome of B. inermis is similar in physical organization to that of other grasses. The circular cpDNA molecule of B. inermis has the typical small (12.8 kbp) and large (81.3 kbp) single-copy regions separated by a pair of inverted repeat (21 kbp) regions. The cpDNA molecule of B. inermis is collinear in sequence to that of wheat, rye, barley and oats. No structural rearrangements or major deletions were observed, indicating that the cpDNA of Bromus is a useful tool in phylogenetic studies.

PP2C相关基因在砂梨休眠进程中的表达分析

对植物蛋白磷酸酶2C(PP2C)相关基因在砂梨Pyrus pyrifolia品系休眠进程中的表达进行分析。结果表明,砂梨PP2C相关基因与李属PP2C基因高度同源。在梨花芽休眠过程中不同PP2C基因调控的作用不同, PP2C-37-1、PP2C-37-2、PP2C-51-1、PP2C-24四个基因与内休眠调控有关,而PP2C-78对于内休眠的解除则有明显作用。PP2C蛋白磷酸酶相关基因注释到植物激素信号转导途径显示,ABA受体PYR/PYL蛋白与PP2C蛋白以及SnRK2(蛋白激酶)蛋白形成ABA信号转导的复合物可以作用于转录因子ABF从而调控梨花芽的休眠。
