Lychee, longan, longli, and rambutan are closely related, commercially important fruit trees in the Sapindaceae family. Longli fruits are morphologically similar to both lychee and longan, displaying a yellow-brown pericarp like longan, and small, sharp protuberances like lychee. These similarities have led to the hypothesis that longli is the result of intergeneric hybridization between longan and lychee. Scanning electron microscopy and flow cytometry were used to examine trichome morphology and genome size, respectively, to test this hypothesis. Longan, lychee, longli (D. confinis), and ‘Malesianus’ (D. longan sub spp malesianus) had morphologically distinct trichomes. The genome sizes for lychee (554 Mb), longan (444 Mb), ‘Malesianus’ (404 Mb), and rambutan (339 Mb) are distinctive and in a narrow range. ‘Malesianus’ has a genome 9% smaller than that of longan and 27% smaller than that of lychee. It is likely a species that evolved independently in northern Borneo island, and could be classified as a species, Dimocarpus malesianus, not a sub-species of longan as presently stated. Flow cytometry revealed a 50% variation in genome sizes among longli varieties, with genome sizes ranging from 450 to 678 Mb, beyond the range between longan and lychee. The genome size variation and distinct leaf hair morphology suggest that longli is not an intergeneric hybrid, and it is likely a separate genus evolved independently. The tested cultivars with distinctive genome sizes within D. confinis could be classified as separate species. 相似文献

In this work, five expansin cDNAs (DlExp1–5) from ‘Shijia’ longan fruit were isolated and characterized. Moreover, the expression profiles of five expansin genes and the effect of naphthalene acetic acid (NAA) and thidiazuron (TDZ) on their expressions were investigated. The results
showed that five expansins exhibited different expression patterns during fruit growth and development. DlExp1 was constitutively expressed in the pericarp while the levels of DlExp1 mRNA in the aril were very high at early stage of fruit development, and decreased gradually from 28 to 77 days after anthesis
(DAA). DlExp2 and DlExp4 were related to the growth of pericarp, whereas the expression of DlExp2 and DlExp5 in the aril decreased from 28 to 77 DAA. In addition, NAA and TDZ applied at the stage of rapid pericarp (21 DAA) or aril
growth (56 DAA) increased the accumulations of DlExp1 and DlExp2 mRNA in the pericarp and aril, while NAA and TDZ had no or little effect on the accumulations of DlExp3, DlExp4 and DlExp5. DlExp1 and DlExp2 also accumulated highly in rapidly growing tissues, such as young stems and leaves. These findings indicated that Exp genes played a different role in longan fruit growth and showed different response to plant growth substances. 相似文献

Asr1, Asr2 andAsr3 are three homologous clones isolated from tomato whose expression is believed to be regulated by abscisic acid (ABA); the corresponding genes thus participate in physiological and developmental processes such as responses of leaf and root to water stress, and fruit ripening. In this report, results obtained with Near Isogenic Lines reveal thatAsr1, Asr2 andAsr3 represent three different loci. In addition, we map these genes on the restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) map of the tomato genome by using an F2 population derived from an interspecific hybrid crossL. esculentum × L. penelli. RFLP data allow us to map these genes on chromosome 4, suggesting that they belong to a gene family. The elucidation of the genomic organization of theAsr gene family may help in understanding the role of its members in the response to osmotic stress, as well as in fruit ripening, at the molecular level. 相似文献

We report 12 microsatellites enriched in CT repeats obtained from a genomic library of the lychee (Litchi chinensis Sonn.) cultivar Mauritius. The polymorphisms revealed by these microsatellites were evaluated in a collection of 21 lychee cultivars. A total of 59 fragments were detected with these 12 SSRs, with an average of 4.9 bands/SSR. Three primer pairs seem to amplify more than a single locus. The mean expected and observed heterozygosities over the 9 single-locus SSRs averaged 0.571 (range: 0.137–0.864) and 0.558 (range: 0.169–0.779) respectively. The total value for the probability of identity was 7.53×10-5. In addition, the selected SSRs were used to amplify DNA from four longan cultivars. Eleven of the 12 SSRs produced amplification fragments in longan, and eight of these fragments were polymorphic. All except two of the products amplified from longan were the same size as those amplified from lychee, suggesting a close genetic proximity between the two species. The SSRs studied produced 22 different patterns, allowing the unambiguous identification of 16 lychee and the 4 longan cultivars studied. Discrimination was possible with just four selected microsatellites. Two groups with two and three undistinguishable cultivars were obtained, reflecting probable synonymies. Unweighted pair-group method of artimetic averages (UPGMA) cluster analysis divided the lychee cultivars studied into two main groups, one consisting of ancient cultivars and the other with more diverse recent cultivars. This is the first report of microsatellite development in the Sapindaceae, and the results demonstrate the usefulness of microsatellites for identification, similarity studies and germplasm conservation in lychee and related species.Communicated by H.F.

Ackee (Blighia sapida, Sapindaceae) is a multipurpose fruit tree species of high economic importance, native to the Guinean forests of West Africa,
and belongs to the same family as that of lychee (Litchi chinensis). In this study, a set of 12 primer pairs for simple sequence repeats (SSRs) previously developed for lychee has been evaluated
for polymorphism in 16 ackee trees from different populations. Seven primer pairs have been found to be transferable, and
four have revealed polymorphisms. However, the average number of alleles per locus has dropped from 4.9 for lychee to 3.7
for ackee. Characterization of the four polymorphic markers in 279 individuals belonging to14 different ackee populations
from Benin has revealed that the numbers of alleles per locus range from two to 14 with a mean number of 5.8. The observed
and expected heterozygosities range between 0.020 to 0.359 and 0.020 to 0.396, respectively. 相似文献

A positive-negative selection system revealed 10 potential insulators able to block enhancer interaction with promoter in the 106 bp human chromosome 19 region between genes FXYD5 and COX7A1. Relative positions of insulators and genes are in accord with the hypothesis that insulators subdivide genomic DNA into independently regulated loop domains. 相似文献

The segmental trisomy model, Ts65Dn, has been a valuable resource for the study of the molecular and developmental processes associated with the pathogenesis of Down syndrome. However, male infertility and poor transmission of the small marker chromosome, T(1716)65Dn, carrying the distal end of mouse Chromosome 16 (MMU16) are limiting factors in the efficient production of these animals for experimental purposes. We describe here the identification and preliminary characterization of mice, designated Ts[Rb(12.1716)]2Cje, carrying a chromosomal rearrangement of the Ts65Dn genome whereby the marker chromosome has been translocated to Chromosome 12 (MMU12) forming a Robertsonian chromosome. This stable rearrangement confers fertility in males and increases the frequency of transmitted segmental trisomy through the female germline. We confirm retention of a dosage imbalance of human Chromosome 21 (HSA21)-homologous genes from App to the telomere and expression levels similar to Ts65Dn within the triplicated region. In addition, we characterized the dendritic morphology of granule cells in the fascia dentata in Ts[Rb(12.1716)]2Cje and 2N control mice. Quantitative confocal microscopy revealed decreased spine density on the dendrites of dentate granule cells and significantly enlarged dendritic spines affecting the entire population in Ts[Rb(12.1716)]2Cje as compared to 2N controls. These findings document that the structural dendritic spine abnormalities are similar to those previously observed in Ts65Dn mice. We conclude that this new model of Down syndrome offers reproductive advantages without sacrificing the integrity of the Ts65Dn model. 相似文献

As the preferred nitrogen (N) source, ammonium (NH4+
) contributes to
plant growth and development and fruit quality. In plants, NH4+ uptake is facilitated by a family of NH4+ transporters (AMT). However, the molecular mechanisms and functional characteristics of the AMT genes in peach have not been
mentioned yet. In this present study, excess NH4+ stress severely hindered shoot
growth and root elongation, accompanied with reduced mineral accumulation,
decreased leaf chlorophyll concentration, and stunned photosynthetic performance. In addition, we identified 14 putative AMT genes in peach (PpeAMT).
Expression analysis showed that PpeAMT genes were differently expressed in
peach leaves, stems and roots, and were distinctly regulated by external NH4+
supplies. Putative cis-elements involved in abiotic stress adaption, Ca2+ response,
light and circadian rhythms regulation, and seed development were observed in
the promoters of the PpeAMT family genes. Phosphorylation analysis of residues
within the C-terminal of PpeAMT proteins revealed many conserved phosphorylation
residues in both the AMT1 and AMT2 subfamily members, which could potentially
play roles in controlling the NH4+ transport activities. This study provides gene
resources to study the biological function of AMT proteins in peach, and reveals
molecular basis for NH4+ uptake and N nutrition mechanisms of fruit trees. 相似文献

The FRUITFULL (FUL) and SHATTERPROOF (SHP) genes are involved in regulating fruit development and dehiscence in Arabidopsis. We tested the hypothesis that this class of genes are also involved in regulating the development of fleshy fruits, by exploring
genetic and phenotypic variation within the apple (Malus domestica) gene pool. We isolated and characterised the genomic sequences of two candidate orthologous FUL-like genes, MdMADS2.1 and MdMADS2.2. These were mapped using the reference population ‘Prima x Fiesta’ to loci on Malus linkage groups LG14 and LG06, respectively. An additional MADS-box gene, MdMADS14, shares high amino acid identity with the Arabidopsis SHATTERPROOF1/2 genes and was mapped to Malus linkage group LG09. Association analysis between quantitative fruit flesh firmness estimates of ‘Prima x Fiesta’ progeny
and the MdMADS2.1, MdMADS2.2 and MdMADS14 loci was carried out using a mixed model analysis of variance. This revealed a significant association (P < 0.01) between MdMADS2.1 and fruit flesh firmness. Further evidence for the association between MdMADS2.1 and fruit flesh firmness was obtained using a case–control population-based genetic association approach. For this, a polymorphic
repeat, (AT)n, in the 3′ UTR of MdMADS2.1 was used as a locus-specific marker to screen 168 apple accessions for which historical assessments of fruit texture attributes
were available. This analysis revealed a significant association between the MdMADS2.1 and fruit flesh firmness at both allelic (χ
2 = 34, df = 9, P < 0.001) and genotypic (χ
2 = 57, df = 32, P < 0.01) levels. 相似文献

Crop evolution is a long‐term process involving selection by natural evolutionary forces and anthropogenic influences; however, the genetic mechanisms underlying the domestication and improvement of fruit crops have not been well studied to date. Here, we performed a population structure analysis in peach (Prunus persica) based on the genome‐wide resequencing of 418 accessions and confirmed the presence of an obvious domestication event during evolution. We identified 132 and 106 selective sweeps associated with domestication and improvement, respectively. Analysis of their tissue‐specific expression patterns indicated that the up‐regulation of selection genes during domestication occurred mostly in fruit and seeds as opposed to other organs. However, during the improvement stage, more up‐regulated selection genes were identified in leaves and seeds than in the other organs. Genome‐wide association studies (GWAS) using 4.24 million single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) revealed 171 loci associated with 26 fruit domestication traits. Among these loci, three candidate genes were highly associated with fruit weight and the sorbitol and catechin content in fruit. We demonstrated that as the allele frequency of the SNPs associated with high polyphenol composition decreased during peach evolution, alleles associated with high sugar content increased significantly. This indicates that there is genetic potential for the breeding of more nutritious fruit with enhanced bioactive polyphenols without disturbing a harmonious sugar and acid balance by crossing with wild species. This study also describes the development of the genomic resources necessary for evolutionary research in peach and provides the large‐scale characterization of key agronomic traits in this crop species. 相似文献

Sugar transporters are necessary to transfer hexose from cell wall spaces into parenchyma cells to boost hexose accumulation to high concentrations in fruit. Here, we have identified an apple hexose transporter (HTs), MdHT2.2, located in the plasma membrane, which is highly expressed in mature fruit. In a yeast system, the MdHT2.2 protein exhibited high 14C‐fructose and 14C‐glucose transport activity. In transgenic tomato heterologously expressing MdHT2.2, the levels of both fructose and glucose increased significantly in mature fruit, with sugar being unloaded via the apoplastic pathway, but the level of sucrose decreased significantly. Analysis of enzyme activity and the expression of genes related to sugar metabolism and transport revealed greatly up‐regulated expression of SlLIN5, a key gene encoding cell wall invertase (CWINV), as well as increased CWINV activity in tomatoes transformed with MdHT2.2. Moreover, the levels of fructose, glucose and sucrose recovered nearly to those of the wild type in the sllin5‐edited mutant of the MdHT2.2‐expressing lines. However, the overexpression of MdHT2.2 decreased hexose levels and increased sucrose levels in mature leaves and young fruit, suggesting that the response pathway for the apoplastic hexose signal differs among tomato tissues. The present study identifies a new HTs in apple that is able to take up fructose and glucose into cells and confirms that the apoplastic hexose levels regulated by HT controls CWINV activity to alter carbohydrate partitioning and sugar content. 相似文献

Fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) was for the first time used to study the chromosomal location of the 45S (18S–5.8S–26S) and 5S ribosomal genes in the genomes of five flax species of the section Linum (syn. Protolinum and Adenolinum). In L. usitatissimum L. (2n = 30), L. angustifolium Huds. (2n = 30), and L. bienne Mill. (2n = 30), a major hybridization site of 45S rDNA was observed in the pericentric region of a large metacentric chromosome. A polymorphic minor locus of 45S rDNA was found on one of the small chromosomes. Sites of 5S rDNA were colocalized with those of 45S rDNA, but direct correlation between signal intensities from the 45S and 5S rDNA sites was observed only in some cases. Other 5S rDNA sites mapped to two chromosomes in these flax species. In L. grandiflorum Desf. (2n = 16) and L. austriacum L. (2n = 18), large regions of 45S and 5S rDNA were similarly located on a pair of homologous satellite-bearing chromosomes. An additional large polymorphic site of 45S and 5S rDNA was found in the proximal region of one arm of a small chromosome in the L. usitatissimum, L. angustifolium, and L. bienne karyotypes. The other arm of this chromosome contained a large 5S rDNA cluster. A similar location of the ribosomal genes in the pericentric region of the pair of satellite-bearing metacentrics confirmed the close relationships of the species examined. The difference in chromosomal location of the ribosomal genes between flax species with 2n = 30 and those with 2n = 16 or 18 testified to their assignment to different sections. The use of ribosomal genes as chromosome markers was assumed to be of importance for comparative genomic studies in cultivated flax, a valuable crop species of Russia, and in its wild relatives. 相似文献

An update on carotenoid biosynthesis in algae: phylogenetic evidence for the existence of two classes of phytoene synthase 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3
Carotenoids play crucial roles in structure and function of the photosynthetic apparatus of bacteria, algae, and higher plants.
The entry-step reaction to carotenoid biosynthesis is catalyzed by the phytoene synthase (PSY), which is structurally and
functionally related in all organisms. A comparative genomic analysis regarding the PSY revealed that the green algae Ostreococcus and Micromonas possess two orthologous copies of the PSY genes, indicating an ancient gene duplication event that produced two classes of
PSY in algae. However, some other green algae (Chlamydomonas reinhardtii, Chlorella vulgaris, and Volvox carteri), red algae (Cyanidioschyzon merolae), diatoms (Thalassiosira pseudonana and Phaeodactylum tricornutum), and higher plants retained only one class of the PSY gene whereas the other gene copy was lost in these species. Further,
similar to the situation in higher plants recent gene duplications of PSY have occurred for example in the green alga Dunaliella salina/bardawil. As members of the PSY gene families in some higher plants are differentially regulated during development or stress, the
discovery of two classes of PSY gene families in some algae suggests that carotenoid biosynthesis in these algae is differentially
regulated in response to development and environmental stress as well. 相似文献

fs8.1 is a major fruit-shape QTL differentiating fresh-market and processing tomatoes. Mature fruits from plants with the wild-type
fresh-market alleles are round, whereas those with alleles from processing variety E6203 are elongated (sometimes referred
to as blocky or square tomatoes). Fine mapping was undertaken to determine whether the effect is due to a single gene or several
tightly linked genes. RAPD and RFLP linkage analysis, and substitution mapping of nearly isogenic lines (NILs) segregating
for the 22.8 cM-TG176-CT92 interval at the top of chromosome 8 in tomato were used for high-resolution mapping. For the 1212
gametes screened in F2 and F3 families, it was determined that fs8.1 maps as a single locus near the centromere of chromosome 8. A comparative developmental study of fs8.1 NILs revealed that fs8.1 alleles exert their effects on fruit shape early in carpel development at least 6 days before anthesis. Field evaluations
of the NILs indicate that fs8.1 affects not only fruit shape, fruit length, and fruit weight but also the number of flowers and fruits per inflorescence,
and the harvest index. The date of first flower and fruit diameter were not significantly affected.

The Indian muntjac (Muntiacus muntjak vaginalis) has a karyotype of 2n = 6 in the female and 2n = 7 in the male. The karyotypic evolution of Indian muntjac via extensive tandem fusions and several centric fusions are
well documented by molecular cytogenetic studies mainly utilizing chromosome paints. To achieve higher resolution mapping,
a set of 42 different genomic clones coding for 37 genes and the nucleolar organizer region were used to examine homologies
between the cattle (2n = 60), human (2n = 46), Indian muntjac (2n = 6/7) and Chinese muntjac (2n = 46) karyotypes. These genomic clones were mapped by fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH). Localization of genes on
all three pairs of M. m. vaginalis chromosomes and on the acrocentric chromosomes of M. reevesi allowed not only the analysis of the evolution of syntenic regions within the muntjac genus but also allowed a broader comparison
of synteny with more distantly related species, such as cattle and human, to shed more light onto the evolving genome organization.
For convenience and to avoid confusion we added for each species a three letter abbreviation prior to the chromosomal band
location discussed in this paper: BTA, Cattle chromosome; HSA, Human chromosome; MMV, M. m. vaginalis chromosome; MRE, M. reevesi chromosome. 相似文献
