16 个蝴蝶兰品种 EST-SSR 遗传多样性分析

利用 NCBI 上提供的8 188 条蝴蝶兰 EST 序列开发 EST-SSR 引物,用来分析市场上较常见的 16 个蝴蝶兰栽培品种的遗传多样性。结果成功开发出了 9 对多态性引物,这 9 对引物在 16 个蝴蝶兰品种上共检测出 45 个等位基因,每对引物可检测等位基因2 ~ 12 个,平均为 5 个;SSR 引物多态性信息量 (PIC) 变化范围为 0.527 ~ 0.981,平均为 0.755;16 个蝴蝶兰品种间的遗传相似系数在 0.550 ~ 0.875 之间,平均值为 0.728,表明供试品种间的亲缘关系较近。UPGMA 聚类分析结果表明,在遗传相似系数为 0.73 处可将 16 个蝴蝶兰品种分为四大类,第Ⅰ类包括满天红、巨宝红玫瑰等 10 个品种,第Ⅱ类包括夕阳红、富乐夕阳、昌新皇后和新原美人 4 个品种,第Ⅲ类包括萨拉黄金 1 个品种,第Ⅳ类包括台湾阿妈 1 个品种,聚类结果与花色特征比较一致。该研究结果对蝴蝶兰品种选育有一定参考价值。     

外源茉莉酸甲酯对非生物胁迫下蝴蝶兰幼苗叶绿素荧光和抗氧化指标的影响

通过盆栽试验,研究了外源茉莉酸甲酯（MeJA）处理对低温、干旱和极端高温胁迫下蝴蝶兰幼苗叶绿素荧光参数和抗氧化指标的影响。结果表明,较高浓度的MeJA（150和200μmol·L-1）提高了非生物胁迫下蝴蝶兰幼苗叶片最大光化学效率（Fv/Fm）和实际光化学效率（ΦPSII）,降低了叶片相对电导率,还使得超氧化物歧化酶（SOD）、过氧化氢酶（CAT）和过氧化物酶（POD）活性升高,丙二醛（MDA）含量降低。表明MeJA作为一种生物调节剂,一定浓度的处理对蝴蝶兰幼苗抗逆性的提高具有明显效果。

五唇兰对PEG模拟的干旱胁迫响应研究

为了解干旱对五唇兰(Phalaenopsis pulcherrima)生长的影响,以聚乙二醇(PEG)溶液模拟干旱胁迫,对其叶片的光合色素、渗透调节物质和非结构碳水化合物(NSC)含量变化进行研究。结果表明,随着PEG浓度增加,五唇兰植株含水量和鲜质量逐渐下降,以PEG为13.75%～14.84%时最显著。PEG处理显著降低叶片的叶绿素a和b含量。随着植株含水量的降低,叶片可溶性蛋白、淀粉(St)含量均呈下降趋势,可溶性糖(SS)含量、NSC和SS/St均呈先升后降的趋势。因此,干旱胁迫会影响五唇兰植株的含水量和光合产物的积累;在较低程度干旱胁迫下,可溶性糖在抗旱响应中发挥主要作用;随着干旱胁迫程度加深,五唇兰的生理代谢受到严重影响。     

Arabidopsis SKP1, a homologue of a cell cycle regulator gene, is predominantly expressed in meristematic cells

The yeast SKP1 gene and its human homolog p19 ^skp1 encode a kinetochore protein required for cell cycle progression at both the DNA synthesis and mitosis phases of the cell cycle. In orchids we identified a cDNA (O108) that is expressed in early stages of ovule development and is homologous to the yeast SKP1. Based on the orchid O108 cDNA clone, we identified and characterized an Arabidopsis thaliana (L.) Heynh. cDNA designated ATskp1 that also has high sequence similarity to yeast SKP1. The Arabidopsis ATskp1 is a single-copy gene that mapped to chromosome 1. The expression of the ATskp1 gene was highly correlated with meristem activity in that its mRNA accumulated in all of the plant meristems including the vegetative shoot meristem, inflorescence and floral meristems, root meristem, and in the leaf and floral organ primordia. In addition, ATskp1 was also highly expressed in the dividing cells of the developing embryo, and in other cells that become multinucleate or undergo endoreplication events such as the endosperm free nuclei, the tapetum and the endothelium. Based on its spatial pattern of expression, ATskp1 is a marker for cells undergoing division and may be required for meristem activity. Received: 6 June 1997 / Accepted: 2 July 1997     

Studies on somaclonal variation in Phalaenopsis

The morphological and genetic variations in somaclones of Phalaenopsis True Lady “B79-19” derived from tissue culture were evaluated. In 1360 flowering somaclones, no apparent difference was found in the shape of the leaves, whereas flowers in some somaclones were deformed. We have demonstrated that 38 selected random primers can be used to generate amplified segments of genomic DNA and to differentiate polymorphisms of somaclonal variations in Phalaenopsis. The random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) data indicated that normal and variant somaclones are not genetically identical. We also studied the banding patterns of aspartate aminotransferase (AAT) and phosphoglucomutase (PGM) in young leaves of variant and normal somaclones of Phalaenopsis. With respect to AAT, three distinct banding patterns were found in normal somaclones and only two-banded phenotypes were detected in variant somaclones. In a comparison of the banding patterns of PGM isozymes, three to four bands were detected in normal somaclones and two to three bands in variant ones.

A novel homodimeric geranyl diphosphate synthase from the orchid Phalaenopsis bellina lacking a DD(X)2-4D motif

Geranyl diphosphate (GDP) is the precursor of monoterpenes, which are the major floral scent compounds in Phalaenopsis bellina . The cDNA of P. bellina GDP synthase ( PbGDPS ) was cloned, and its sequence corresponds to the second Asp-rich motif (SARM), but not to any aspartate-rich (Asp-rich) motif. The recombinant PbGDPS enzyme exhibits dual prenyltransferase activity, producing both GDP and farnesyl diphosphate (FDP), and a yeast two-hybrid assay and gel filtration revealed that PbGDPS was able to form a homodimer. Spatial and temporal expression analyses showed that the expression of PbGDPS was flower specific, and that maximal PbGDPS expression was concomitant with maximal emission of monoterpenes on day 5 post-anthesis. Homology modelling of PbGDPS indicated that the Glu-rich motif might provide a binding site for Mg²⁺ and catalyze the formation of prenyl products in a similar way to SARM. Replacement of the key Glu residues with alanine totally abolished enzyme activity, whereas their mutation to Asp resulted in a mutant with two-thirds of the activity of the wild-type protein. Phylogenetic analysis indicated that plant GDPS proteins formed four clades: members of both GDPS-a and GDPS-b clades contain Asp-rich motifs, and function as homodimers. In contrast, proteins in the GDPS-c and GDPS-d clades do not contain Asp-rich motifs, but although members of the GDPS-c clade function as heterodimers, PbGDPS, which is more closely related to the GDPS-c clade proteins than to GDPS-a and GDPS-b proteins, and is currently the sole member of the GDPS-d clade, functions as a homodimer.
