谭清苏铁性别连锁的RAPD和SCAR分子标记

利用RAPD(Random amplified polymorphic DNA)分子标记技术，寻找谭清苏铁（Cycas tanqingii）中与性别相关的分子标记，筛选了160个10bp的随机引物，产生了2500多个RAPD条带。只有引物S0465 (CCCCGGTAAC)产生了一条大约500bp的雌性特异RAPD标记，该分子标记出现在所有的供试雌性植株中，而所有的供试雄性植株都不具有该标记。对该特异片段进行了克隆和序列测定，并根据序列分析结果将RAPD标记转化为重复性和特异性更好的特异特征序列扩增区域（SCAR）分子标记，并命名为STQC-S465-483。分子标记的建立可用于谭清苏铁幼苗性别的早期鉴定，为谭清苏铁就地保护和迁地保护提供技术支持。

RAPD and SCAR Molecular Markers Linked to the Sexuality of Cycads (Cycas tanqingii D. Y. Wang)

The random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) technique was used to amplify DNA fragment, aiming at finding markers linked to the sex trait in Cycas tanqingii D. Y. Wang. A total number of 160 random primers were screened in the RAPD-PCR and more than 2500 RAPD fragments were generated from the male or the female plants. One fragment of about 500bp was amplified steadily and repeatedly by the S₀₄₆₅ (CCCCGGTAAC) primer only from female plants but not male plants. The RAPD marker was then converted into female-linked dominant SCAR (Sequence Characterized Amplified Regions) marker named STQC-S465-483. The development of this sex-linked SCAR marker provides a possibility of identifying the sex of Cycas tanqingii before sexual maturation, which is very important to in situ or ex situ conservation.
