中华稻蝗三种群遗传结构分析

应用淀粉凝胶电泳对山西省太原黄陵村、临猗县赵村及永济县伍姓湖3个中华稻稻（Oxya chinensis）种群的4个等位酶位点（MDH-1、MDH-2、LDH、ME）进行了分析。结果表明3个种群的中华稻蝗在遗传结构上具有差异;黄陵种群的MDH-1、MDH-2以及伍姓湖种群的MDH-1均为单态位点;赵村种群的杂合性最低（H=0.112）,伍姓湖种群最高（H=0.229）;赵村种群与伍姓湖种群间的Nei‘s遗传距离为0.068,可视为1个大的种群,而黄陵种群与赵村种群和伍姓湖种群的Nei‘s遗传距离分别为0.247和0.218。考虑到赵村和伍姓湖之间的地理距离（41km）比太原黄陵（357km）要近得多,结果提示3个种群地理距离与遗传结构差异之间存在相关关系。     

亚洲小车蝗不同地理种群遗传多样性的等位酶分析

采用等位酶电泳技术对亚洲小车蝗8个地理种群遗传多样性和遗传分化进行了研究,并对8种等位酶系统:苹果酸脱氢酶(MDH)、苹果酸酶(ME)、乙醇脱氢酶(ADH)、谷氨酸脱氢酶(GDH)、谷氨酸-草酰乙酸转氨酶(GOT)、异柠檬酸脱氢酶(IDH)、腺苷酸激酶(AK)和己糖激酶(HK)进行聚丙烯酰胺凝胶电泳分析。结果表明:在亚洲小车蝗8个地理种群中共检测到14个基因位点,其中7个位点为多态位点,检测到25个等位基因;种群总体水平多态位点比率P=42.86%,平均有效基因数A=1.786,平均期望杂合度He=0.072,种群平均遗传距离为0.069～0.235。聚类分析表明,遗传距离与地理距离存在一定相关性。亚洲小车蝗8个种群的遗传分化系数Fst=0.086,基因流Nm=3.142,表明亚洲小车蝗种群间有一定程度的遗传分化及基因交流。     

不同地理种群小菜蛾的遗传多样性分析

采用水平切片淀粉凝胶电泳方法,分析了北京、河北、云南和武汉4个不同地理种群的小菜蛾的等位酶,得到了3个酶系统（甘油醛磷酸脱氢酶（GPD）、苹果酸酶（ME）和苹果酸脱氢酶（MDH-1,MDH-2和MDH-3）5个基因位点的资料。用Biosys2.0软件计算了不同地理种群的遗传变异指标（N、A、P、H0和He）,结果表明小菜蛾各种群内的基因多样性大于各种种群间的基因多样性（约15倍）,武汉种群小菜蛾的遗传性最大。并计算了遗传距离D和相似性系数,并由此得出聚类图,分析了小菜蛾不同地理种群间的遗传关系。     

我国蝗虫的六大种群的遗传分化分析

我们可以用蝗虫的遗传多样性的变化来检测蝗虫种群的动态变化情况,这有利于研究蝗灾的发生于成为灾害的原理,有利于对蝗灾进行预报,进而有利于蝗灾的防治。对东亚飞蝗、大垫尖翅蝗、中华稻蝗、中华蚱蜢、亚洲小车蝗和黄胫小车蝗这六种蝗虫利用凝胶电泳的技术分析对其进行遗传分化分析,在所研究的12个基因座位中有有3个基因座在蝗虫的六大种群中均成呈单态分布,6个基因在在蝗虫的六大种群中呈多态分布,其余蝗虫的基因座位在这几个种群中至少有一个基因座位存在等位基因。研究表明六种蝗虫的遗传多样化水平均不高,我们可以通过蝗虫基因型和蝗虫等位基因频率的变化情况来对蝗虫种群进行检测,从而为防止蝗灾的发生提供指导和参考,进而提高防治效率。     

日本稻蝗、中华稻蝗和赤胫伪稻蝗地理种群的RAPD遗传分化研究

运用10个RAPD引物对日本稻蝗(Oxya japonica)、中华稻蝗(Oxya chinensis)和赤胫伪稻蝗(Pseudoxya diminuta)的种群遗传分化进行分析。10个随机引物共产生135条带,扩增谱带具有明显的属、种间多态性。Shannon信息指数表明中华稻蝗遗传多样性水平较高(2．693),日本稻蝗次之(2.319),赤胫伪稻蝗最低(1．042)。中华稻蝗和日本稻蝗的不同地理居群出现遗传分化,由Shannon信息指数估算的种群间遗传分化系数分别为20．7％,42．4％。用UPGMA和NJ法对Nei’s遗传距离作聚类分析,构建分子系统树。系统树显示：同一种群的不同个体优先相聚,而后,同一种的不同种群依次相聚;日本稻蝗广西南宁种群和广东广州种群首先聚为一支,陕西西安种群和浙江杭州种群聚为另一支,两支相聚后与中华稻蝗聚在一起,最后与赤胫伪稻蝗相聚。聚类结果表明：不同地域日本稻蝗亲缘关系的远近与地理距离呈现一定的相关趋势,日本稻蝗与中华稻蝗亲缘关系较近,Nei’S遗传距离平均为0．142,而赤胫伪稻蝗与它们关系较远,Nei’s遗传距离平均为0．451。聚类图所显示的物种间亲缘关系的远近程度与形态分类学和细胞分类学结果相一致。     

内蒙古亚洲小车蝗种群遗传多样性的微卫星分析

亚洲小车蝗Oedaleus asiaticus Bei-Bienko是我国北方草原和农牧交错区主要的害虫之一。为了从分子水平评价内蒙古地区亚洲小车蝗种群的遗传多样性和种群间遗传分化, 本文采用8对微卫星引物对内蒙古15个地点的亚洲小车蝗种群进行遗传多样性分析。结果表明： 各位点有效等位基因数为3.4517~13.2881, 多态信息含量值为0.5601~0.8563, Shannon氏多样性指数在0.7018~4.1789之间。15个种群的平均期望杂合度为0.6836, Nei氏期望杂合度为0.5303~0.6513, 群体遗传距离为0.1092~0.4235, 群体分化率Fst平均值为0.1612, 基因流Nm平均值为1.6164。8个微卫星位点均具有较高的多态性, 各种群间的遗传分化水平较大, 基因交流程度中等, 个体间的遗传变异大于种群间的遗传变异。15个不同地点的亚洲小车蝗种群根据遗传距离共聚为6支。种群间遗传分化与地理距离呈正相关关系。高山和沙漠对不同地区亚洲小车蝗种群的迁移具有阻碍作用, 可能是形成遗传分化的主要原因。研究结果从分子水平探索不同地区亚洲小车蝗种群间的内在联系, 为制定亚洲小车蝗的综合治理策略提供了分子生物学的基础资料。     

四种松毛虫不同地理种群遗传多样性的等位酶分析

【目的】采用等位酶电泳技术对中国松毛虫属Dendrolimus 4种共9个地理种群进行遗传多样性和遗传分化研究。【方法】对6种等位酶系统乳酸脱氢酶（LDH）、苹果酸脱氢酶（MDH）、苹果酸酶（ME）、乙醇脱氢酶（ADH）、甲酸脱氢酶（FDH）、谷氨酸脱氢酶（GDH）进行聚丙烯酰胺凝胶电泳分析。【结果】在4种松毛虫9个地理居群中共检测到10个基因位点,其中4个位点为多态位点,检测到17个等位基因; 种群总体水平多态位点比率P=40%,平均有效基因数A=1.700,平均期望杂合度He=0.151,种群平均遗传距离为0.001～0.285; 其中马尾松毛虫指名亚种Dendrolimu punctatus Walker 6个居群的遗传分化度Fst=0.265,基因流Nm=0.692。4种松毛虫之间遗传关系最近的是落叶松毛虫D. superans Butler和马尾松毛虫的地理亚种赤松毛虫D. punctatus spectabilis Butler,遗传关系最远的是落叶松毛虫D. superans Butler和云南松毛虫D. houi Lajonquiere。【结论】 马尾松毛虫居群间遗传分化程度较大,基因交流较少,遗传漂变已经成为导致该物种种群分化的主要原因之一;遗传距离与地理距离存在一定相关性。     

中国4种蝗虫不同种群的遗传分化

采用水平淀粉凝胶电泳技术,应用等位酶分析方法对采自我国山西、江苏、河北等地不同蝗区优势蝗虫种类3科4种8个种群的12种酶18个酶位点进行了检测,比较了4种蝗虫种群水平的等位基因频率变化和它们之间的遗传距离。等位基因频率分析表明：中华稻蝗和笨蝗各位点等位基因丰富,而长翅素木蝗和短额负蝗各位点等位基因较少。在所研究的4种蝗虫8个种群中,多态位点百分率普遍较高(P＝53．3％—100．0％),由于杂合子数目较少而使每个位点的平均杂合度观察值偏低(H。＝0．034—0．139)。受迁飞能力、繁殖方式和活动范围的限制,4种蝗虫的平均杂合度观察值表现出一定的差异：笨蝗较高(H。＝0．089—0．139),其次是中华稻蝗(H。＝0．073—0．090),而长翅素木蝗(H。＝0．0488—0．068)和短额负蝗(H。＝0．034—0．050)相对较低。除Adk-1、Ao-1、Idh-1、Ldh-1、Ldh-2和Me-1在部分蝗虫种群符合Hardy-Weinberg平衡外,其余绝大多数位点的基因型频率显著偏离H—W平衡,但短额负蝗的多个位点符合或接近H—W平衡,表明该种蝗虫在自然种群结构方面明显有别于其他种类。从4种蝗虫的F—统计量(Fst)看,笨蝗种群间基因分化程度最高(Fst＝0．32),其次是短额负蝗(Fst＝0．31),而中华稻蝗相对较低(Fsl＝0．20),长翅素木蝗种群间基因分化程度最低(Fsl＝0．18),利用非加权算术平均法(UPGMA)对I值和D值进行聚类,所得聚类树也证实了这种遗传分化差异,上述结果反映了迁飞能力、适应性和环境因子对不同蝗虫遗传分化的影响。Nei的遗传距离(D)和遗传一致度(I)进行的聚类分析基本符合传统形态学、细胞学等研究结果：即同属于斑腿蝗科的中华稻蝗和长翅素木蝗遗传距离最小(D＝0．559),遗传一致度最高(I＝0．576)。在3个科中,癞蝗科和锥头蝗科之间呈现较小的遗传距离(D＝0．776)和较高的遗传一致度(I＝0．776),而这两科与斑腿蝗科之间的遗传距离相对较大(D＝0．908),遗传一致度相对较低(I＝0．406)。等位酶分析能较好地反映蝗虫不同物种的亲缘关系和种内不同种群之间的遗传分化程度。     

中华稻蝗不同地理种群遗传多样性的AFLP分析

为研究中华稻蝗种群遗传多样性和遗传结构, 文章对我国7省市的7个中华稻蝗种群进行AFLP分析。选取7对引物扩增128个个体, 共产生336条带, 多态性条带292条, 占86.90%。结果表明: 中华稻蝗种群具有较高的遗传多样性水平, 其中海南万宁种群的遗传多样性高于其他各种群。Mantel检验(r=0.27, P=0.89)表明中华稻蝗各种群遗传距离与地理距离间没有显著相关性。种群间具有明显的遗传分化现象。UPGMA(Unweighted pair group method average)聚类分析显示, 7个中华稻蝗种群按地理距离分为3支: 北方北京昌平、山西太原和山东济宁为一支; 南方陕西汉中、湖南长沙和广西来宾为一支; 海南万宁单独为一支。上述结果以及PCA(Principal component analysis)分析均表明由于地理隔离中华稻蝗种群显示出明显的南北分化和岛屿大陆种群遗传分化现象。     

濒危植物翅果油树种群的遗传多样性和遗传分化研究

利用微卫星（SSR）标记对来自山西和陕西两省的7个翅果油树（Elaeagnus mollisDiels）种群进行遗传多样性和遗传结构研究。10对SSR标记共检测到126个位点,其中多态位点114个。在物种水平上,平均多态位点百分率为90.79%,有效等位基因数（Ne）、Nei基因多样性指数（H）和Shannon多样性指数（I）分别为1.6072、0.3166、0.4603;在种群水平上,多态位点百分率为61.99%,有效等位基因数（Ne）、Nei’s基因多样性指数（H）、Shannon多样性指数（I）分别为1.5445、0.2683、0.3815。遗传分化系数GST为0.2074,表明了翅果油树种群的遗传变异主要存在于种群内。基因流Nm为1.9111〉1,说明种群间基因交流可以阻止由于遗传漂变导致的遗传分化。聚类结果表明,翅果油树种群间的遗传距离与地理距离有一定的相关性,经Mantel检验,种群的地理距离与遗传距离之间呈正相关,但未达到显著水平（p〉0.05）。结果表明,遗传多样性水平与物种本身特性和不同干扰生境有关,濒危植物并不一定表现为遗传变异水平的降低。     

Variations de la malate déshydrogénase dans quatre espèces de Jaera albifrons: Etude génétique et variation géographique

Malate dehydrogenase has been detected in four species of the super-species Jaera albifrons. Two polymorphic enzymatic systems occur showing a one banded pattern for homozygotes and a three banded pattern for heterozygotes. Two independant autosomal loci control the variation as is shown by intra- and interspecific crosses. In European populations of the three species studied, MDH-1 is polymorphic and MDH-2 is monomorphic. In the American species, J. posthirsuta, the locus MDH-2 is polymorphic and MDH-1 is monomorphic.     

华北2蝗区东亚飞蝗种群遗传结构的比较研究

利用水平淀粉凝胶电泳对采自天津北大港和河北黄骅两个相临蝗区的东亚飞蝗（Locusta migratoria manilensis)种群进行等位酶基因频率分析,比较了这两个种群的遗传结构,等位酶酶谱分析表明,19个基因座中4个基因座（Mdh-l,Pgm,Adk,G3pd)的等位基因频率变化很小,常见等位基因的频率均高于0．95,其他基因座有2－4个等位基因,但是两个种群的等位基因频率除两个基因座（Fbp,Got-2)外都很相似,多态位点的27个χ2检验表明,由于常见等位基因纯合子的高频率的和相应杂合子的缺乏,仅有北大港种群的2个基因座（Pgi,Got-1)符合Hardy-Weinberg平衡,在每个种群内的蝗虫存在明显的遗传变异,但在种群间遗传结构极为相似,多态位点的百分数P分别为73．7％和78．9％,每个基因座的平均等位基因数A为2．9和3．1,平均每个基因座的实际杂合度几乎相等（约为0．138）,F－统计量（FST＝0．053）也表明了两个种群间的遗传 一致性,遗传相似性系数（I）高达0．938,这些结果提示,这两个种群可能属于1 个大种群,在两个种群的一定位点上的遗传多态性和分化可能都与迁飞因素有关,因为东亚飞蝗的高度扩散能力有利于遗传结构的连续分布,高度的迁飞能力也导致个体暴露于各种不同的环境,而在种群水平上的遗传为异能增强种群在各种生态条件生存和繁殖能力,因此,迁飞有利于维持东亚飞蝗种群的遗传多态性的动态平衡。     

Genetic linkage groups in the Japanese brown frog (Rana japonica)

To elucidate the genetic linkage groups of the Japanese brown frog (Rana japonica) and compare them with those of other amphibians, we analyzed the inheritance of alleles at 15 enzyme and blood protein loci and one pigment locus (Blk) in 3,298 offspring derived from 37 crosses using 28 males heterozygous at these loci. Of 63 pairs of loci tested for linkage, 55 pairs showed independent assortment in all crosses examined. In another six pairs, that is, between FUM/ME-1, alpha-GDH/MDH-2, MDH-1/ME-1, MDH-2/ME-2, MDH-2/PEP-C, and ME-2/PEP-C, all the offspring analyzed were parental, and none were recombinant. In the other two pairs, that is, between GPI/PEP-D and AAT-1/Blk, most of the offspring were parental, and some were recombinants with recombination rates ranging from 4.8% to 8.0%. Thus the following four linkage groups comprising 11 loci were established in R. japonica. The first group included the loci for alpha-GDH, MDH-2, ME-2, and PEP-C; the second group included the loci for MDH-1, ME-1, and FUM; the third group included the loci for GPI and PEP-D; and the fourth group included the loci for AAT-1 and Blk. No linkage between the other five loci--ADA, MPI, PEP-A, PGM, and Alb--was observed in the present study.     

DNA variants of the MHC show location-specific convergence between sheep, goat and cattle

Interspecific convergent evolution in sheep, goat and cattle was analysed with the help of orthologous microsatellite markers. Six of the loci are located in the major histocompatibility complex (MHC) region and three on different chromosomes. Samples from at least 60 animals per autochthonous breed of the three species were collected in central and southeast Anatolia (Turkey) as well as Baden-Württemberg (Germany). Allelic diversity, heterozygosity, population differentiation and genetic distances were calculated. The loci were polymorphic in all species and breeds. Apart from MSDRB, the loci linked to the MHC were similarly polymorphic as compared to the other loci. Allele numbers in the Turkish sheep and in the cattle breeds were higher than in the other breeds. The predominant occurrence of distinct allele lengths per locus differed depending on the species. For the three geographic locations, the genetic distances between species based on the MHC loci were significantly closer in comparison with distances based on quasi-neutral loci. This indicates convergent evolution of the MHC loci between sheep, goat and cattle caused by effects of location and demonstrates an approach for quantifying influences of adaptation on genetic variability.     

A population genetic study of six VNTR loci in three ethnically defined populations.

To investigate the population genetic characteristics of VNTR polymorphisms in human populations, we have studied the allele frequency distribution of six VNTR loci (D1S57, RB1, D1S77, D1S61, alpha-globin 5'HVR, D1S76) in three well-defined populations (Kachari of Northeast India; Dogrib Indian of Canada; and New Guinea Highlander of Papua New Guinea). Even though the number of alleles sampled is limited, 48 to 92 alleles per locus per population, significant variation is noticed in the number of alleles per locus for all the populations. Using alternate summary measures, we have observed that genotype distributions at the six VNTR loci apparently conform to their respective Hardy-Weinberg predictions. Multilocus genotype profiles of the individuals in each of the three populations suggest that the VNTR alleles are independently segregating with the exception of the two linked loci D1S76 and D1S77. Lack of fit of all VNTR loci to one particular model of mutational change, either the Infinite Allele Model or the Stepwise Mutation Model, suggests more than one mechanism for production of new VNTR alleles. This study also indicates that increased heterozygosity at VNTR loci in comparison to protein and blood group loci may lead to more accurate estimates of genetic distance.     

中国东亚飞蝗两个种群遗传分化的研究

采用水平淀粉凝胶电泳技术,分析了我国河北平山、辽宁葫芦岛两个蝗区东亚飞蝗自然种群的遗传结构。在酶谱分析的19个位点中,多数位点的等位基因数目较少,而位点Aat—l、Pgi和Mdh—2的等位基因数目相对较多。由于杂合子数目较少而使每个基因位点的平均杂合度降低(Ho=0．024和0．028)。对每个位点的各基因型进行x^2检验,绝大多数位点的基因型频率偏离Hardy—Weinberg平衡。较低的Fst值(Fst=0．021)表明两个种群的遗传分化程度不高。两个种群间较高的遗传一致度(I=0．991)和较小的遗传距离(D=0．092)也证实了上述结果。由此推测,该蝗虫较强的迁飞能力有可能增强种群间的基因交流,降低种群间的遗传分化。然而,在一些等位酶指标如位点Ao-2、Fbp—l、Mdh—2的等位基因频率分布、每个位点的平均等位基因数(A=2．5和2．7)和多态位点百分率(P=52．6％和57．9％)等,两个种群之间呈现出明显的差异。这也许与两个种群之间不同的生态环境条件和较远的地理距离有关。     

不同地区库蚊复组群体的同工酶遗传多样性研究

采用水平切片淀粉凝胶电泳的方法,对分布于我国5省的8个库蚊复组（Culex pipiens complex）野生群体的遗传多样性进行研究,分析了4个酶系统7个基因座(ME、MDH-1、MDH-2、MDH-3、GPD、EST-2、EST-3)的酶谱资料。结果显示：（1）群体内存在不同程度的遗传变异（He为0.098～0.41）;（2）较低的基因流水平（Nm=0.64）使遗传漂变起主要作用,造成群体之间的遗传分化（Gst=0.303）,而总群体的遗传多样性相对富集于群体之内(Hs/Dst=2)。（3）库蚊群体的遗传结构属于距离隔离模式。（4）群体间的遗传一致性(或遗传距离)反映出群体间的遗传分化程度,也表明与地理位置存在对应关系。Abstract: Eight field populations of Culex pipiens complex collected from five provinces (Guangdong, Henan, Shandong, Beijing and Yunnan) in 2001 were used to study genetic diversity by starch gel electrophoresis. Data from seven loci (ME、MDH-1、MDH-2、MDH-3、GPD、EST-2、EST-3) of four isozymes were analyzed by software Biosys2.0 and FSTAT(Version 2.9.3). The results were as follows: (1) The values of He (from 0.098 to 0.41) indicated genetic variabilities of different degree in populations.(2)The low level of gene flow (Nm=0.64) could not prevent genetic drift to cause the gene differentiation between populations. The genetic diversity between populations attributed to the genetic diversity of total populations is small (Gst =0.303), and the great part is accumulated within populations (Hs/Dst=2). (3) The genetic structure of Culex pipiens complex population was the isolation-by-distance model. (4) The genetic identity (or genetic distance) revealed the scale of genetic differentiation between populations which related to the collection sites.     

Isozyme variation and the reproductive biology of Hydrocharis morsus-ranae L. (Hydrocharitaceae)

Electro-phoretically detectable isozyme variation was studied for 17 enzyme systems in several N American populations of the introduced aquatic plant Hydrocharis morsus-ranae and in two European populations. Twenty-nine loci were inferred from progeny, adult and turion enzyme banding patterns with 28 of these loci homozygous in all individuals studied. Malate dehydrogenase-1 (MDH-1) was the only locus which could be interpreted as multi-allelic and heterozygous. Twenty-seven of 76 seedlings assayed showed an age specific expression for an alcohol dehydrogenase locus (ADH-2) never seen in adults or turions. Since all adults sampled were phenotypically identical at all loci assayed, it is possible that only one isozyme genotype of this species is present in N America. European turion data further indicated that the populations studied were identical to N American plants sampled at all loci except EST. Therefore, although H. morsus-ranae is dioecious, outcrossing appears to involve substantial inbreeding. Connections between extensive inbreeding and the failure of effective sexual reproduction are considered.

Allele frequencies and genetic diversity in two groups of wild tufted capuchin monkeys (Cebus apella nigritus) living in an urban forest fragment

There have been numerous studies genetically characterizing Old World Primates using microsatellites. However, few studies have been made of New World species and none on free-ranging Cebus apella, even though it is probably the most widely distributed species of monkey in the New World. The paucity of studies is due, in part, to the lack of polymorphisms described for this species. We studied two groups of wild tufted capuchins, Cebus apella nigritus, which inhabit Mata Santa Teresa, the Ecological Reserve of Ribeir?o Preto, a 158-ha forest fragment in a semi-urban zone of Ribeir?o Preto, SP, Brazil. Group 1 had about 60 animals, 35 of which were sampled, and group 2 had about 40 animals, 20 of which were sampled. These group sizes are much larger than the published reports of 6-30 for this species, despite, or perhaps due to the isolation and the size of the forest fragment. Allele PEPC59*1 was the most frequent of all alleles at all loci in both groups (55.7 and 55%), allele PEPC8*1 was the most common allele in group 2 (46.9%) and PEPC8*4 in group 1 (41.1%), allele PEPC3*2 was the most common in group 1 (35.7%) and allele PEPC3*4 in group 2 (31.6%). The genetic diversity, considering each locus in each group, varied from 61.9% at locus PEPC59 to 78.6% at locus PEPC3, both in group 1. The mean genetic diversity (H(S)), considering both groups for all of the loci, was 71.1%. The inter-group diversity (F(ST)) was 1.9%, indicating that these groups belong to the same population. These groups apparently have a high genetic diversity, despite their isolation in a limited forest fragment, although more data are needed to adequately characterize this population.
