云南桔小实蝇五个地理种群的遗传分化研究

对云南省瑞丽、景洪、化念、元江、河口的桔小实蝇5个地理种群共27个个体的线粒体细胞色素氧化酶Ⅰ(COⅠ) 基因进行了部分序列测定。序列的碱基变化中转换明显多于颠换、无碱基的插入和缺失。5个地理种群中共有27个多态位点和23种单倍型,其中2种为共享单倍型。桔小实蝇5个地理种群的Fst值在0.0364～0.1364之间(P>0.05), Nm值在3.88～13.25之间。对其所有单倍型聚类分析发现,单倍型在系统树中的分布散乱、混杂,没有显示出明显的地理分布族群。分析认为5个地理种群间已存有一定程度的遗传分化,但分化的程度还比较低。造成5个种群这种遗传分化的因素主要与地理隔离有关,而种群间低程度的遗传 分化估计与桔小实蝇在云南的发展历史及生态适应有关。     

云南4个地区高山姬鼠线粒体控制区种群遗传分化研究

对云南4个种群38个个体的线粒体控制区（D-loop）905 bp的核苷酸序列遗传变异进行分析,探讨了高山姬鼠种群遗传结构和分化。在905 bp D-loop基因的碱基序列中,共发现了57个变异位点（全变异的6.30%）,共定义了23个单倍型,其中有一个单倍型（Hap1）为横断山3个种群（中甸、丽江和剑川）所共享,其余22个单倍型均为各个种群所特有。分子变异分析（AMOVA）表明,种群间的遗传变异占33.7%,种群内的遗传变异占66.3%。FST统计结果表明,除昆明种群和横断山种群之间差异显著（P〈0.05）,其它地理种群间的差异均不显著（P〉0.05）,说明昆明种群与横断山种群之间出现了明显的遗传分化。     

中国桔小实蝇种群的微卫星多态性分析

为了研究桔小实蝇种群的遗传结构,本文采用微卫星分子标记技术,对中国南方9省区、越南和泰国的11个桔小实蝇地理种群共224个个体的遗传多样性水平及种群遗传结构进行了研究。用9对微卫星引物共检测到48个等位基因, 平均每个微卫星位点的等位基因数为5.33个。GENEPOP分析结果表明：11个桔小实蝇种群在9个微卫星位点上的多态位点百分率平均为94.45%。种群的Nei's基因多样性指数平均为0.4371,Shannon信息指数平均为0.7870,表明桔小实蝇种群具有非常丰富的遗传多样性。Nei's遗传多样性分析发现,各地理种群间产生了一定程度的遗传分化,种群间平均遗传分化系数F_st=0.2370。种群间一定程度的遗传分化可能是由地理隔离和基因流障碍（N_em = 0.8049）所引起。UPGMA聚类分析可知, 中国的桔小实蝇地理种群可分为华南支和西南支两大分支,华南分支包括福建、台湾、广东和海南4个种群,西南分支包括四川、云南、广西、贵州和湖南5个种群。由此推测, 中国桔小实蝇种群结构的形成与演变是在地理演化与经贸交流加强这两种因素的影响下不断进行的动态过程。     

四纹豆象不同地理种群的遗传分化

【目的】通过对四纹豆象Callosobruchus maculatus Fabricius不同地理种群mtDNA-Cytb和COⅠ基因部分序列进行比较, 分析其不同地理种群间的遗传分化情况, 为揭示其与生物入侵的关系及入侵过程中种群系统发育地理格局与演变机制提供依据。【方法】用PCR产物直接测序法对分别来自中国海南、喀麦隆、韩国和泰国的四纹豆象4个地理种群的mtDNA-Cytb和COⅠ序列进行测序, 运用软件MEGA3.1对四纹豆象不同地理种群mtDNA-Cytb和COⅠ序列进行序列分析, 以绿豆象C. chinensis为外群构建了不同单倍型的分子系统树。【结果】34条420 bp Cytb序列中共检测到14个多态位点和5种单倍型, 33条822 bp COⅠ序列中检测到28个多态位点和9种单倍型, 其中4种单倍型为独享单倍型, 其余为全部或部分种群的共享单倍型。AMOVA分析结果显示, 四纹豆象4个地理种群间的遗传结构差异并不明显, 遗传差异主要发生在地理种群内。对4个地理种群进行了Fst值和基因流动统计, 结果表明4个地理种群间既存在着一定数量的基因交流, 也存在一定程度的遗传分化。【结论】根据单倍型分布格局初步推测, 中国不可能是四纹豆象的原产地, 而喀麦隆有可能是原产地之一, 并且喀麦隆种群与泰国种群之间的基因交流比较充分, 而中国种群与其他种群之间的遗传分化相对较大。     

基于线粒体COI基因的桔小实蝇种群遗传分化研究

【目的】推测桔小实蝇Bactrocera dorsalis在中国的扩散路径和新发生地区的入侵来源。【方法】本研究测序获得来自中国、泰国、日本、老挝、孟加拉国和美国等地31个种群的192头桔小实蝇个体的COI序列（1 496 bp,占COI基因全长97.3%）,并以软件DnaSP 5.0, MEGA 6.0和Arlequin 3.5等完成各种群的遗传多样性、种群间的遗传分化以及单倍型分析。【结果】所测31个桔小实蝇种群总体表现出较高水平的核苷酸多样性（0.00663）和高水平的单倍型多样性（0.98069）。以F-统计法度量种群间遗传分化程度, 结果显示中国桔小实蝇地理种群间遗传分化较弱, 中国种群与泰国、日本、老挝、孟加拉国、美国种群间的遗传分化程度不同, 中国种群与美国种群及日本种群的遗传分化最大。而Mantel检验发现,中国、泰国、日本、老挝、孟加拉国和美国种群间的遗传分化与空间距离有关（R=0.670, P<0.0001）, 中国种群间的遗传分化不是地理隔离所造成的（R=0.038, P=0.534）。中国种群与泰国、日本、老挝、孟加拉国和美国种群间不存在共享单倍型。根据种群系统发育树,可将中国原发生地区种群划分为西南、东南两大分支。中性检验和错配分析结果均表明桔小实蝇曾存在大规模的扩张。【结论】桔小实蝇以东南地区和西南地区为源头向中国内陆扩散,其中广东、福建、广西和贵州种群为中国内陆种群较为有影响力的源头。根据遗传多样性、遗传分化、单倍型分析,推测新发生地区桔小实蝇的来源, 例如安徽合肥桔小实蝇种群主要来源于福建长乐、广东珠海和上海。     

基于线粒体 Cyt b 基因的柴达木盆地子午沙鼠的遗传多样性与种群结构分析

对采集自柴达木盆地4个子午沙鼠种群的线粒体Cyt b部分序列进行测序,分析其遗传多样性和种群间系统进化关系。结果显示：冷湖-苏干湖种群的遗传多样性最高（Hd = 1.000;π = 0.00530）,花土沟种群的遗传多样性最低（Hd = 0.750;π = 0.00255）。分子变异分析结果显示61.68%的变异来自种群内,38.32%的变异来自种群间。其中, 冷湖-苏干湖种群与其他种群之间的遗传分化水平相对较低,格尔木种群与其他种群之间有较高水平的遗传分化。系统进化分析显示柴达木盆地子午沙鼠以冷湖-苏干湖为发源地沿盆地周边自西向东扩散,各种群之间存在广泛的基因交流。由于地理阻隔,格尔木种群与其他种群间基因交流较少。各地理种群间遗传距离与地理距离不相关。青藏高原大湖期是柴达木盆地各种群之间产生遗传分化的主要原因。     

基于COI基因的华南地区柑橘木虱系统发育研究

柑橘木虱Diaphorina citri是重要的柑橘害虫,其传播的黄龙病对华南地区柑橘产业造成严重危害。为了解华南地区柑橘木虱不同地理种群间的遗传多样性和进化关系,测定该地区5个地理种群线粒体COI基因900 bp序列,对不同地理种群柑橘木虱遗传距离和系统发育进行分析。结果表明,5个地理种群柑橘木虱间的遗传距离小(0.0%~0.2%)。其中,广州种群和湛江种群的柑橘木虱之间的遗传距离,以及南宁种群、桂林种群和厦门种群的柑橘木虱之间的遗传距离均为0,序列间的相似度极高。基于COI基因系统发育分析显示,位于中国的5个柑橘木虱地理种群之间分化程度较低,与国外其他地区21个种群相比,各种群间的同源性与地理距离无显著相关性。     

云南四个瓜实蝇地理种群的遗传关系分析

对云南个不同地理区域的瓜实蝇种群(Bactrocera cucurbitae)共23个个体的线粒体DNA细胞色素b基因中的部分序列进行测定和分析,并以桔小实蝇(B.dorsalis)、番石榴实蝇(B.correct)和南瓜实蝇(B.tau)为外群种构建了不同单倍型的N-J分子系统树.在获得的26bp序列中,A+T含量约占65.0%,有个多态位点,无任何碱基插入和缺失.这些位点共定义5种单倍型,其中一种为共享单倍型.对个瓜实蝇地理种群进行Fst值和基因流动统计,Fst值为0.16667～0.20000(P＞0.05),Nm值为2.00～2.50.5种单倍型共形成了3个聚类簇.可以认为,个地理种群间均存在一定程度的遗传分化,但分化程度不高,导致遗传分化的主要因素是地理隔离,而种群遗传分化程度低与瓜实蝇所在环境条件相似有关.     

不同地理种群美洲斑潜蝇及近缘种的rDNA-ITS1序列分析和比较

【目的】通过对美洲斑潜蝇Liriomyza sativae Blanchard 不同地理种群及近缘种间的核糖体DNA第一内转录间隔区（rDNA-ITS1）进行比较,分析美洲斑潜蝇不同地理种群间的遗传分化情况,并为美洲斑潜蝇与近缘种间提供分子鉴别标记。【方法】用PCR产物直接测序法及克隆测序法对我国美洲斑潜蝇8个地理种群的rDNA-ITS1序列进行测序,并调用GenBank中3个近缘种的rDNA-ITS序列,运用软件MEGA3.1对美洲斑潜蝇不同地理种群及近缘种间的rDNA-ITS1序列进行分析。【结果】美洲斑潜蝇8个地理种群间的分化程度较低,只有8个变异位点,遗传距离都在0.02以下,但4个近缘种间的碱基差异显著,遗传距离为0.149～0.390,有126个变异位点,12个美洲斑潜蝇特异性识别位点。【结论】虽然基于rDNA-ITS1序列所显示的美洲斑潜蝇各地理种群之间的遗传分化很小,但是其分化趋势与地理分布基本相吻合;得到的12个特异性识别位点不仅可以作为美洲斑潜蝇与其近缘种间鉴别的分子标记,而且可为今后设计鉴别性PCR引物提供重要的参考依据。     

桔小实蝇中国与马来西亚种群间杂交:融合性、生物学及检疫挑战(英文)

桔小实蝇是重要的检疫性害虫,可对水果产业造成巨大经济损失。本研究首先采用微卫星标记比较桔小实蝇不同地理种群间的遗传差异性,然后通过室内种间杂交试验,研究了两个相异地理种群(此前称谓的来自中国的桔小实蝇和来自马来西亚的木瓜实蝇)之间杂交后代在繁殖力、孵化率、发育历期、产卵管长度以及抗逆性等方面的适应性,结果表明桔小实蝇中国和马来西亚种群之间的遗传关系极为相近,不存在生殖隔离,但杂交后代在繁殖力、孵化率、幼虫发育情况、高蛹期抗逆性等方面均显著高于其亲本种群,产卵管长度则介于亲本的马来西亚种群和中国种群之间。上述杂交种的适应性特征分析表明,杂交后代可能具有比亲本更强的传播潜力,因此,本研究结果对于桔小实蝇相异地理种群的检疫防控提出了新的挑战。     

Dioecism of the genusCallicarpa (Verbenaceae) in the Bonin (Ogasawara) Islands

The morphology and function of the flowers of three species of the genusCallicarpa, C. glabra, C. nisnimurae andC. subpubescens, endemic to the Bonin Islands, revealed that all three species were dioecious. Male plants had short-styled flowers with sterile ovaries, while female plants had long-styled flowers with non-germinating inaperturate pollen grains. Such dioecism has never been reported from the family Verbenaceae. This curious sexual system with non-germinating pollen grains may have been maintained as a reward to insect pollinators.     

(AGCTG) (AGCTG) (AGCTG) (GGGTG) as the primordial sequence of intergenic spacers: the role in immunoglobulin class switch

The means employed for immunoglobulin heavy chain class switch appears to be no different from that by which meiotic intergenic crossing-overs at accomplished. As with other intergenic spacers, the 5' noncoding sequence of each Ig CH (immunoglobulin heavy chain constant region) gene apparently undergoes unconstrained sequence changes due to randomly sustained base substitutions, deletions, and duplications. Yet, there remains sufficient regional sequence homology between the Ig Cmu 5' noncoding sequence and those of its somatic recombination partners, e.g., Ig C gamma 1, Ig C gamma 2b, Ig C alpha, because each of these 5' noncoding sequences is made of multiple copies in various stages of degeneracy of one primordial 20 base pair-long sequence: (AGCTG) (AGCTG) (AGCTG) (GGGTG).     

Dioecy in the endemic genusDendrocacalia (Compositae) on the Bonin (Ogasawara) Islands

Dendrocacalia crepidifolia Nakai (Compositae, Senecioneae), the only species of this arboreal genus endemic to Haha Island in the Bonin Islands, was found to be dioecious. Male flowers differ from female ones in having a stunted style (style in female exserted from corolla and deeply bifurcating) and anthers filled with fertile pollen (anthers in the female lacking pollen). The size of the corolla and number of florets per head were similar between male and female flowers. The crown area of this arboreal species was also similar in male and female plants. The sex ratio was 0.55 male, not significantly different from 0.5. Both sexes produced nectar of similar sugar concentration (ca. 50%). The flowers are pollinated by feral honeybees (Apis mellifera), but they are thought to have been pollinated by small, lesshairy, endemic solitary bees before honeybees were introduced and subsequently became the dominant bee species on the island. The evolution of dioecy ofDendrocacalia on the island is thought to stem from the deleterious effects of inbreeding that are inherent in plants with geitonogamy. The increased geitonogamy on the island has resulted from increased woodiness (i.e., increased number of flowers per plant) and the original dependence on endemic bee pollinators, which are now endangered.     

Chromogranin A (CgA) in the gastro-entero-pancreatic (GEP) endocrine system

Summary Chromogranin A (CgA) and related acidic proteins are widely distributed in the organism. They are also present in entero-endocrine cells and in other members of the paraneuron family. Therefore, CgA has been claimed as an universal marker of this cellular community. To yield precise data about the distribution of CgA in entero-endocrine cells, all segments of the gastro-intestinal tract of five mammalian species (man, cattle, pig, cat, guinea-pig) were investigated immunohistochemically for CgA. In serial semithin plastic sections, all CgA-immunoreactive endocrine cells were identified for resident amines or peptides. CgA could be found in ten hormonally identified endocrine cell types and in two or three other endocrine cell types. Entero-endocrine cells containing amines (histamine, serotonin) regularly exhibited CgA-immunoreactivities. In contrast, peptide-containing endocrine cells were largely heterogeneous: Their CgA-immunoreactivities varied among the species, among the gastro-intestinal segments, and even among the members of the same cell population. Hence, seen histochemically, CgA is no universal marker for entero-endocrine cells. Seen biochemically, the observed heterogeneities of CgA-immunoreactivities theoretically can be attributed to various factors (species-specificities of CgA, subclasses of chromogranins, processing of CgA or its proprotein). Most probably, these heterogeneities are caused by species- or cell-specific differences in the extent of processing of CgA. In addition, some findings point to certain interrelations between the processing or storage of CgA and resisdent peptides in the secretion granules of entero-endocrine cells.The results were partly presented at the 7th Workshop of the Anatomische Gesellschaft, Würzburg (FRG), 1988 (see Cetin and Grube 1989)     

Chromogranin A (CGA) in the gastro-entero-pancreatic (GEP) endocrine system

Summary Chromogranin A (CGA), a protein at first detected in the adrenal medulla, has recently been found also in other organs, e.g. the endocrine pancreas. However, immunohistochemical findings concerning the cellular source of pancreatic CGA were controversial. Therefore, the endocrine pancreas of 10 mammalian species (man, tupaia, mole, cat, dog, pig, guinea pig, rabbit, rat) was investigated immunohistochemically for CGA-like immunoreactivities on serial semithin plastic sections using a high-titer polyclonal antiserum against bovine CGA. The results show that basically all pancreatic endocrine cell types are CGA-immunoreactive; however, every species has its own pattern of CGA-immunoreactive cell types. Other findings of the present studies indicate that the physiological function of CGA in pancreatic endocrine cells is related to the storage mechanisms of peptide hormones. Finally, a methodological approach is given to obtain not only qualitative but also semiquantitative data during immunohistochemical investigations.     

Lipopolysaccharides (LPS) modulate the metabolism of deoxynivalenol (DON) in the pig

Pigs might be exposed to lipopolysaccharides (LPS) and deoxynivalenol (DON) at the same time, and both toxins are thought to interactively affect the intestinal barrier, the innate immune system, and the xenobiotics metabolism. Hence, we aimed at examining the single and combined effects of both toxins on nutrient digestibility and DON metabolism. For this purpose, barrows (26?±?4 kg) were fed restrictedly either a control diet (CON) or a diet contaminated with 3.1 mg DON/kg (DON) for 37 days. At day 37 of the experiment, pigs were infused intravenously for 60 min either with 100 μg DON/kg body weight (BW) (CON-DON), 7.5 μg LPS/kg BW (CON-LPS, DON-LPS) or a combination of both substances (CON-DON?+?LPS), or physiological saline (CON-CON, DON-CON). Blood samples were collected frequently until 3.25 h before the pigs were sacrificed for bile, liver, and kidney collection. The apparent digestibility of N-free extractives was significantly increased by 1 % when the DON-contaminated diet was fed. The total DON content in blood was significantly higher in endotoxemic pigs (34.8 ng/mL; CON-DON?+?LPS) when compared to the pigs infused with DON alone (18.8 ng/mL; CON-DON) while bile concentrations were not influenced by LPS. DON residue levels in liver and kidney closely reflected the treatment effects as described for blood. In contrast to DON infusion, the LPS challenge resulted in a significantly lower total DON concentration (13.2 vs. 7.5 ng/mL in groups DON-CON and DON-LPS, respectively) when the pigs were exposed to DON through the diet. The conjugation degree for DON in blood and bile was not influenced by treatments. In conclusion, endotoxemic pigs are characterized by higher DON residue levels in blood, liver, and kidney, probably by a compromised elimination.     

Mitochondria-rich cells in the astigmatic mites,Diplaegidia columbae (Buchholz) (Analgidae) and Falculifer rostratus (Buchholz) (Falculiferidae) (Acari: Astigmata)

Mitochondria are well-characterized intracellular organelles usually concentrated in locations of high energy consumption. Light microscopic and transmission electron microscopic observations of the internal anatomy of the feather mites Diplaegidia columbae and Falculifer rostratus were conducted. In the anterior half of the bodies of the mites, we found several dozen of distinctive mitochondria-rich (MR) cells filled with abundant, large mitochondria. Mitochondria are placed individually or enclosed in small groups within an elaborated lamellar system forming a mitochondria–lamellae complex (MLC). The role of the MLC as well as the MR cells is not clear at present, but their involvement in heat generation is hypothesized and briefly discussed.
