Bassam和Sanguinetti银染方法在SRAP和TRAP标记中的比较研究

银染作为一种重要的DNA染色方法,对分子标记检测有重要影响.SRAP标记和TRAP标记是两种较为新型的分子标记,近年来得到了广泛应用,尤其在缺少遗传图谱的物种中应用价值更大.以普通烟草种(Nicotiana tabacum L.)烤烟和香料烟品种作为供试材料,对Bassam和Sanguinetti两种银染方法,在标记检测效率、成本及染色效果等方面进行了研究,并对其在SRAP标记和TRAP标记中的应用进行了探讨.结果表明,Sanguinetti银染法比Bassam银染更为简便、经济,染色照片的色阶图说明Sanguinetti染色方法的背景与扩增带区分明显,能够清楚地读带;且该方法能够扩增出很好的SRAP和TRAP标记谱带.因此,推荐在SRAP和TRAP标记检测中采用Sanguinetti银染方法.

Genetic Variation Among Rhynchosporium secalis Populations of West Asia and North Africa as Revealed by RAPD and AFLP Analysis

In order to study genetic variation among populations of Rhynchosporium secalis, 65 isolates were sampled from the West Asian and North African regions and used for polymerase chain reaction (PCR)‐based DNA marker analyses [namely random amplified polymorphism DNAs (RAPDs) and amplified fragment length polymorphisms (AFLPs)]. The study revealed that genetic diversity among and within populations accounted for 80 and 20%, respectively, of the total genetic diversity, indicating that the local field populations of R. secalis in West Asia and North Africa originated from genetically diverse source populations. Furthermore, high genetic similarity among isolates from the same location suggests that scald populations originated from a local founder population, possibly through rain‐splash‐dispersed conidia.

Micropropagation of Tectona grandis: Assessment of Genetic Fidelity

Random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) markers were used to analyze genetic fidelity of micropropagated teak (Tectona grandis L.) clones with respect to subcultural passage. Of the twenty primers screened, no variation in RAPD profiles was noticed in the in vitro clones of fifth, tenth, fifteenth and twentieth passage in comparison to the in vivo mother plants. Only one micropropagated plant of twenty-fifth subcultural passage, however, differed from the in vivo ones. It revealed the appearance of a new polymorphic DNA fragment (molecular mass 379 kb) in case of primer OPB-08. This primer, manifesting detectable variation, may be utilized as a diagnostic marker for assessing genetic fidelity of micropropagted teak plants. This revised version was published online in July 2006 with corrections to the Cover Date.     

A Plating‐PCR Technique for Detection and Quantification of the Biological Control Agent Agrobacterium vitis Strain E26 in Soil under Controlled Conditions

Agrobacterium vitis strain E26 is a promising biocontrol agent of grapevine crown gall, an economically important disease of grape worldwide. In this report, we developed a Plating‐PCR method that allows specific detection and quantification of E26 by combining classical microbiological techniques with molecular tools. Random amplified polymorphic DNA fingerprints were used to differentiate E26 from other A. vitis strains. A differentially amplified fragment from E26 was sequenced and characterized as a sequence characterized amplified region (SCAR) marker. Two primer pairs were then designed and evaluated for their specificity against E26. One of the two SCAR primer pairs, 740F/R, was further selected for specific detection of strain E26. A plating assay coupled to PCR with the SCAR primers 740F/R allowed the assessment of population dynamics of E26 in non‐sterile grape rhizosphere soil under controlled conditions.     

A molecular marker that segregates with sorghum leaf blight resistance in one cross is maternally inherited in another

Leaf blight-resistant sorghum accession SC326-6 was crossed to the susceptible cultivar BTx623 to analyze the genetic basis for resistance. Field scoring of inoculated F₂ progeny revealed that resistance was transmitted as a dominant single-gene trait. By combining the random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) technique with bulked-segregant analysis, it was possible to identify PCR amplification products that␣segregated with disease response. Primer OPD12 amplified a 323-bp band (D12R) that segregated with resistance. Creation of longer primers, or SCARs (sequence characterized amplified regions) for D12R resulted in the amplification of a single major band of the predicted size from all the resistant F₂ progeny and the resistant parent SC326-6, but not from BTx623 or 24 of 29 susceptible F₂ progeny. The SCAR primers also amplified a single band with DNA from IS3620C, the female parent in a cross with BTx623 that has been used to produce a recombinant inbred population for RFLP mapping. An equivalent band was amplified from all 137 recombinant inbred progeny, indicating that organelle DNA is the amplification target in this cross.

一种新的近交系实验动物遗传监测方法及小鼠性别相关RAPD标记的发现

我们用21个10 bp的随机短引物对来自昆明、成都、上海、北京四个地方的BALB/c小鼠以及C57BL小鼠、昆明种小白鼠进行了随机扩增多态DNA(RAPD)分析,发现13个引物的扩增产物在BALB/c小鼠和C 57 BL小鼠中有差异,8个引物的扩增产物在BALB/c小鼠和昆明种小白鼠之间不同.在四个地方的BALB/c小鼠中,成都、上海、北京的BALB/c小鼠其遗传背景均一,而来自昆明的BALB/c小鼠中,有2只的4个引物的扩增产物不同于其它的BALB/c小鼠,表明这两只BALB/c小鼠可能曾发生过某种程度的遗传改变或污染。实验结果显示RAPD方法是一种有效的近交系实验动物遗传监测手段。实验中一个有趣的结果是,在OPG 2、OPE 4、OPE 9的扩增产物中,发现了严格的性别依赖的PAPD标记。OPE 9扩增产物中,凡雄性个体都有一条0.88 kb的标记.OPG 2、OPE 4则在所有的雄性个体中多扩增出一条约1.2 kb的带。通过交叉PCR扩增和斑点杂交证明OPG 2、OPE 4 得到的雄性特异性RAPD标记虽分子大小一致,但不具同源性。这些性别相关RAPD标记的染色体定位和性质分析正在进一步进行中.     

用任意引物PCR进行基因多态性分析时最佳反应条件的建立

用任意引物进行基因组指纹分析是检测DNA多态性的一种通用方法,对遗传学图谱绘制、系统发育学和种群生物学都很有用.由于任意引物PCR(AP-PCR)影响因素很多,获得理想的指纹扩增图谱比较困难,有必要寻找一种简单有效的方法建立最佳扩增体系.对Mg²⁺浓度,模板浓度、引物浓度等三个因素进行优化选择AP-PCR扩增反应实验研究.实验结果表明：Ap-PCR反应的最佳反应条件为2 mmol/L MgCl₂,50 ng的DNA模板及0.3 μmol/L的引物浓度,在上述条件下获得的AP-PCR产物最丰富,条带清晰.

Identification and characterization of toxigenic Bacillus cereus isolates responsible for two food-poisoning outbreaks

The epidemiology of Bacillus cereus strains responsible for food poisoning is scantly known, mostly because the genotypic and toxigenic properties of the B. cereus strains isolated during food-poisoning outbreaks have been never catalogued. The occurrence of two simultaneous food-poisoning outbreaks gave us the opportunity to wonder whether (i) the identity of individual strains isolated from clinical, environmental, and food samples could be established by random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD)-PCR and multiplex RAPD-PCR, and (ii) the toxigenic potential of the isolates could be determined by testing their ability to secrete hemolysin BL, phosphatidylcholine-specific phospholipase C, and cereulide, as well as by determining the presence of the genes encoding enterotoxins NHE, T, and FM/S, cytotoxin K, sphingomyelinase, and phosphatidylinositol-specific phospholipase C. This is the first report demonstrating that the combination of several phenotypic and genotypic traits provides a powerful tool for tracing the source of infection of toxigenic B. cereus strains relevant for epidemiological survey.

Development of a sequence-characterized amplified region marker for diagnosis of dwarf bunt of wheat and detection of Tilletia controversa Kühn

Aims:  Dwarf bunt of wheat, caused by Tilletia controversa Kühn, is a destructive disease on wheat as well as an important international quarantined disease in many countries. The objective of this investigation was to develop a diagnostic molecular marker generated from amplified fragment length polymorphism (AFLP) for rapid identification of T . controversa .
Methods and Results:  A total of 30 primer combinations were tested by AFLP to detect DNA polymorphisms between T. controversa and related species. The primer combination E08/M02 generated a polymorphic pattern displaying a 451-bp DNA fragment specific for T. controversa . The marker was converted into a sequence-characterized amplified region (SCAR), and specific primers (SC-01₄₉/SC-02₄₁₅), designed for use in PCR detection assays, amplified a unique DNA fragment in all isolates of T. controversa , but not in the related pathogens. The detection limit with the primer set SC-01₄₉/SC-02₄₁₅ was 10 ng of DNA which could be obtained from 11  μ g of teliospores in a 25- μ l PCR reaction.
Conclusions:  An approach to distinguish T. controversa from similar pathogenic fungi has been developed based on the use of a SCAR marker.
Significance and Impact of the Study:  Development of the simple, high throughput assay kit for the rapid diagnosis of dwarf bunt of wheat and detection of T. controversa is anticipated in further studies.     

Markers derived from amplified fragment length polymorphism gels for plant ecology and evolution studies

We describe the types of polymerase chain reaction (PCR) markers that we have isolated using amplified fragment length polymorphisms (AFLP) in closely related taxa from diverse plant genera. With these markers, both inter- and intraspecific differences have been identified. The characterization of the nucleotide sequences and fragment length polymorphisms of such AFLP-derived PCR markers is promising for investigating the ecology and evolution of closely related plant taxa.     

Authentication of snakes used in Chinese medicine by sequence characterized amplified region (SCAR)

Random amplified polymorphic DNA fingerprints characteristic of thethree snakes Zaocys dhumnades, Agkistrodonacutus and Bungarus multicinctus multicinctuswere generated using primer OPF-14. Z. dhumnades is anendangered species included in the Convention on International Trade inEndangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora, and A. acutus,B. multicinctus multicinctus and Z. dhumnades are listed inthe Chinese Pharmacopoeia. The species-specific polymorphic bands Aa specific toA. acutus, Bmm specific to B. multicinctusmulticinctus and Zd specific to Z. dhumnadeswere identified and the sequences of these bands were used to design polymerasechain reaction primers for sequence characterized amplified region (SCAR)analysis of the three snakes. A multiplex SCAR analysis was established toauthenticate the snakes used in Chinese medicine reliably and efficiently.

CHARACTERIZATION OF GENETIC MARKERS LINKED TO SEX DETERMINATION IN THE HAPLOID‐DIPLOID RED ALGA GRACILARIA CHILENSIS1

Bulk segregant analysis, random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD), and sequence characterized amplified region (SCAR) methods were used to identify sex‐linked molecular markers in the haploid‐diploid rhodophyte Gracilaria chilensis C. J. Bird, McLachlan et E. C. Oliveira. One hundred and eighty 10 bp primers were tested on three bulks of DNA: haploid males, haploid females, and diploid tetrasporophytes. Three RAPD primers (OPD15, OPG16, and OPN20) produced male‐specific bands; and one RAPD primer (OPD12), a female‐specific band. The sequences of the cloned putative sex‐specific PCR fragments were used to design specific primers for the female marker SCAR‐D12‐386 and the male marker SCAR‐G16‐486. Both SCAR markers gave unequivocal band patterns that allowed sex and phase to be determined in G. chilensis. Thus, all the females presented only the female band, and all the males only the male band, while all the tetrasporophytes amplified both male and female bands. Despite this sex‐specific association, we were able to amplify SCAR‐D12‐386 and SCAR‐G16‐486 in both sexes at low melting temperature. The differences between male and female sequences were of 8%–9% nucleotide divergence for SCAR‐D12‐386 and SCAR‐G16‐486, respectively. SCAR‐D12‐386 and SCAR‐G16‐486 could represent degenerated or diverged sequences located in the nonrecombining region of incipient sex chromosomes or heteromorphic sex chromosomes with sequence differences at the DNA level such that PCR primers amplify only one allele and not the other in highly specific PCR conditions. Seven gametic progenies composed of 19 males, 19 females, and the seven parental tetrasporophytes were analyzed. In all of them, the two SCAR markers segregated perfectly with sexual phenotypes.
