基于RAPD标记的皖南山核桃野生居群遗传多样性分析

应用随机扩增多态性DNA(RAPD)分子标记方法分析了皖南山区4个山核桃(Carya cathayensis)野生居群的遗传多样性及其分化程度。由POPGENE软件分析表明,15条随机引物共检测出139个扩增条带,其中多态性条带87个,多态性位点百分比(PPB)为62.59%,各居群平均多态性位点百分比(PPB)为43.35%。物种水平Shannon信息多样性指数(I)为0.208,Nei基因多样性指数(H)为0.124,多样性水平较低。由于受到地理隔离的影响,居群间的基因流较低(Nm=0.700),遗传分化程度相对较高(Gst=0.417)。     

乌头及其同属近缘种的SSR指纹图谱研究

乌头(Aconitum carmichaeli Debx.)为中国重要的药用植物,种质资源丰富,同属近缘种繁多。该研究采用SSR分子标记技术对采自17个种群的51份乌头样本和13个同属近缘种的65份样本进行扩增和聚丙烯酰胺凝胶电泳检测,分析了乌头及其同属近缘种的遗传多样性、遗传分化和系统发育关系,筛选出稳定性好、多态性高的SSR引物构建乌头及其近缘种的指纹图谱。结果表明:(1)11对乌头微卫星引物均表现出高的多态性,共检测出109个复等位基因,平均每个位点9.91。(2)乌头在物种水平上遗传多样性丰富(A=3.090 9,I=0.889 7,h=0.540 2),种群间的遗传分化显著(Gst=0.277 4);乌头属14种植物表现出了较高的遗传多样性(A=9.909 1,I=1.526 2,h=0.690 5),物种间遗传分化显著(Fst=0.437),基因流微弱(Nm=0.451 8)。(3)聚类分析表明,同一种群的乌头样本首先聚在一起各自形成小支,17个小支聚为一支;13个乌头近缘种材料中,相同物种的样本分别聚为一支;乌头属14个物种聚为5个大支,与形态分类结果一致。(4)利用基因型丰富、多态性高的6对SSR引物(Tchin03、Tchin04Tchin20、Tchin26、Tchin29、Tchin32)可有效区分14种乌头属植物,并以此建立了乌头种质资源和近缘种的DNA指纹图谱。该研究为乌头的种质资源鉴定及混伪品鉴定提供了重要的技术支撑。

Isolation and characterization of microsatellite loci from Psidium guajava L.

A (GA)_n and (GT)_n microsatellite‐enriched library was constructed and 23 nuclear simple sequence repeat (SSR) loci were characterized in the guava species (Psidium guajava L.). All SSR loci were found to be polymorphic after screening for diversity in different cultivars, and across‐taxa amplification tests showed the potential transferability of most SSR markers in three other Psidium species. First to be published for P. guajava, this new SSR resource will be a powerful tool for genetic studies of guava, including cultivars identification and linkage mapping, as well as potentially for interspecific genetic studies within the genus Psidium.     

Development of DNA microsatellite markers in the Andean root crop arracacha: Arracacia xanthorrhiza Banc. (Apiaceae)

A microsatellite‐enriched library was constructed in the Andean root crop arracacha (Arracacia xanthorriza B). Of 18 loci tested, 14 were found to be polymorphic after screening for diversity in different cultivars and related wild forms. Allelic diversity in the crop was low but the transferability of the primers to closely related wild forms was good. The loci reported here are the first genetic markers to be published for this species and will be useful for future germplasm characterization and studies of genetic diversity.     

Isolation and characterization of polymorphic microsatellite loci from black sea bass (Centropristis striata) and cross-species amplification

Black sea bass (Centropristis striata) is an economically important serranid species. A number of 39 microsatellite loci were isolated from two enriched genomic library of C. striata. Eleven of these loci were polymorphic in a test population with alleles per locus ranging from 3 to 8, and observed and expected heterozygosities per locus from 0.26 to 1.00 and from 0.61 to 0.84, respectively. Four loci significantly deviated from Hardy–Weinberg equilibrium after Bonferroni correction and no significant linkage disequilibrium was found between pairs of loci. Cross-species amplification of these polymorphic microsatellite loci was performed in additional two related species. These polymorphic microsatellite loci would be useful for investigating genetic resource of C. striata and other related species.     

Characterization of microsatellite loci from the Malagasy endemic,Tina striata Radlk. (Sapindaceae)

We isolated and characterized 12 polymorphic microsatellite loci in the Malagasy endemic, Tina striata Radlk. (Sapindaceae). The number of alleles per locus ranged from 2 to 6 (N = 28 individuals). Polymorphic information content ranged from 0.132 to 0.767 and observed heterozygosity from 0.154 to 0.800. These markers will be valuable in estimating outcrossing rates and genetic variation in populations of T. striata, and aid in the conservation of populations of T. striata and other closely related species in the Malagasy Sapindaceae.     

同域分布垂穗披碱草和达乌力披碱草遗传多样性和遗传结构分析

披碱草属(Elymus L.)是禾本科(Poaceae)小麦族(Triticeae)中的一个多年生属,该属在青藏高原地区有广泛分布,多数物种是草原和草甸的组成成分,许多种类为品质优良的牧草。垂穗披碱草(E.nutans)和达乌力披碱草(E.dahuricus)同为禾本科小麦族披碱草属异源六倍体物种,染色体组组成皆为StYH。为探究垂穗披碱草遗传多样性形成的内在机制,该研究利用微卫星(SSR)分子标记,对采自青藏高原地区同域分布的垂穗披碱草和达乌力披碱草两个居群共58个个体进行遗传多样性和遗传结构分析。结果表明:8对引物在垂穗披碱草和达乌力披碱草扩增条带分别为163条和124条,多态性位点百分率(PPB)分别为89.71%和76.07%,多态性信息含量(PIC)分别介于0.583~0.929和0.524~0.830之间。垂穗披碱草遗传多样性(H_e=0.69,I=1.34,P_p=100%)高于达乌力披碱草(H_e=0.53,I=0.80,P_p=93.75%);同域分布的垂穗披碱草和达乌力披碱草居群,垂穗披碱草呈现出更高的遗传多样性。AMOVA分子变异显示,两个物种居群内遗传变异分别80.92%和63.62%,但居群间遗传分化水平较低。遗传结构分析揭示两个物种间有基因流存在。综合分析结果认为,该地区种间杂交基因渗透引起的种内遗传分化,在这两个物种多样性形成中可能起着重要作用。     

Assessment of genetic diversity and population structure of Chinese wild almond, Amygdalus nana, using EST- and genomic SSRs

Amygdalus nana L., commonly known as wild almond, is an endangered wild relative of cultivated almond, which has great potential in almond crop breeding. In this study, we used microsatellite (SSR) loci derived from both expressed sequence tag (EST) and anonymous genomic sequence to explore the genetic diversity and population structure of A. nana in Xinjiang of China. Seven natural populations were collected across the whole distribution of A. nana in China, including populations from both inside (four populations) and outside (three populations) the established protected areas. A total of 22 and 19 alleles were detected from the seven pairs of EST and genomic SSR loci, respectively. Generally, the genomic SSRs showed lower levels of variation than EST-SSRs, which may partially due to the higher cross-species transferability in EST-SSRs than in genomic SSRs. The population-level genetic diversity (A = 1.84, P = 50.00%, H_o = 0.3491, H_E = 0.2271) was lower than cultivated almond and several wild fruit species with similar breeding system. Most of the genetic variation (82.16%) was partitioned within populations. In particular, the population collected from Tacheng County (outside the protected areas) had the highest levels of genetic diversity and had significantly different genetic constitution from other populations.     

Biogeographic history of the threatened species <Emphasis Type="Italic">Araucaria araucana</Emphasis> (Molina) K. Koch and implications for conservation: a case study with organelle DNA markers

Fragmentation of the habitat due to glaciations, fires and human activities affected the distribution range of Araucaria araucana in southern South America. On the borders of the Argentinean Patagonian steppe, the species is restricted to isolated patches without natural regeneration. Our objective is to test the hypothesis that these populations are relicts of pre-Pleistocene origin. A total of 224 individuals from 16 populations were sampled. Twenty chloroplast microsatellites, 19 non-coding chloroplast DNA regions and eight mitochondrial DNA fragments were screened for polymorphisms. A low transferability rate of universal primers from Pinaceae and also a low variation were detected for this ancient species. Only one non-coding region of the chloroplast DNA showed polymorphism allowing the identification of five haplotypes. A low genetic differentiation (G _ST  = 0.11; G′ _ST  = 0.267) and lack of geographic structure was found. Allelic richness was lower and genetic differentiation higher among the eastern isolated populations, suggesting a long lasting persistence. Conservation guidelines are given for these relictual populations, which are located outside the limits of the National Parks.     

Characterization of microsatellite markers in the threatened sand skink (Neoseps reynoldsi)

We characterized microsatellite loci for the sand skink (Neoseps reynoldsi) for future studies of genetic structure in this threatened taxon. We screened a partial genomic library enriched for microsatellites, designed primers for eight loci and assessed these markers for polymorphism across 11 populations in central Florida. Preliminary analyses indicate deviations from Hardy–Weinberg expectations for most loci, suggesting population genetic structure across the sampled populations; therefore, understanding genetic connectivity is critical for maintaining genetic variation in this species.
