AFLP和RAPD标记技术是近年来发展最快的基于PCR基础上的两种DNA标记技术,本文比较了两种标记技术在我国栉孔扇贝群体遗传多样性研究中的应用。共筛选20个RAPD引物和7个AFLP引物组合,检测到AFLP标记的有效等位基因数和平均多态信息量稍低于RAPD标记,但AFLP标记在每单位分析中扩增到的野生和养殖群体的多态性条带数(23．8,24．8)分别高于RAPD标记(5．6,5．6),AFLP多态性检测效率显著高于RAPD标记。AFLP和RAPD两种标记技术所揭示的野生种群与养殖群体间的近交系数、遗传距离两项指标均表明,我国栉孔扇贝养殖群体和野生种群之间尚未出现明显的遗传分化。研究结果表明：RAPD和AFLP这两种标记技术均可用于栉孔扇贝遗传多样性的分析,其分析结果是一致的。

AFLP标记的特点及其在昆虫学研究中的应用

扩增片段长度多态性（AFLP）是一种新兴的很有效的分子遗传标记方法, 它通过对基因组DNA限制性内切酶酶切片段进行选择性扩增而揭示多态性,具有快速、经济简便、不需要预先知道模板DNA的信息、模板需要量少、重复性高、结果可靠及具有很高的信息含量等优点。AFLP也具有缺点,主要是标记是显性的,同其他显性标记一样,不能区分杂合体和纯合体,因而不能更好地估算种群遗传的变异,对种群遗传结构的分析不能提供更多的统计信息;AFLP技术较复杂,而且经常使用放射性同位素,对模板DNA质量要求也较高。为了克服AFLP的这些缺点,人们又在其基础上发展了其他相关技术,例如AFRP、SAMPL、DALP和TE-AFLP等。目前AFLP在昆虫方面的应用还不是很多,处于初级阶段,主要应用在生态型鉴定、种群遗传分析、连锁图谱构建等方面,相信随着其技术的发展完善,必将会越来越多地应用于昆虫学的研究中。

Amplified restriction fragment length polymorphism in parasite genetics

The amplified restriction fragment length polymorphism (AFLP) technique is a relatively new method for the analysis of polymorphism that has not yet been widely used in parasitology. In this article, Dan Masiga, Andy Tait and Mike Turner provide a brief introduction to AFLP and illustrate how it can be used in the investigation of marker inheritance in genetic crosses and in the analysis of polymorphism of field populations. They also briefly highlight the strengths and weaknesses of AFLP in comparison with other methods for detecting polymorphism and conclude that AFLP is a very useful addition to the range of techniques available.     

Evaluation of genetic diversity and germ plasm identification of 44 species, clones, and cultivars from 5 sections of the genusPopulus based on amplified fragment length polymorphism analysis

The genusPopulus L. (Salicaceae) can be divided into 5 sections with distribution throughout the world. Accurate identification ofPopulus clones and species is essential for effective selection, breeding, and management of genetic resources. In this study, amplified fragment length polymorphism (AFLP) analysis, which was reported as a reliable technique with high efficiency in detecting polymorphism, was used to conduct analyses of genetic diversity and variety identification of 44 species, clones, and cultivars ofPopulus that represent a wide range of breeding and commercially available germplasms. Cluster analysis of the 44 samples was carried out, and a dendrogram of genetic relatedness was developed on the basis of the AFLP data. DNA fingerprints of the 44 samples were developed from 12 selected bands amplified with 2 primer combinations (M-CAG/E-TA and M-CAG/E-TC). Each sample has its unique fingerprint pattern and can be distinguished from the others. Furthermore, 1 specific AFLP band of the cultivarPopulus canadensis cl. Guariento coming from fragments amplified by primer combination M-CTC/E-AG was successfully converted into a sequence-characterized amplified region (SCAR) marker. The results indicate that AFLP analysis should be considered as the preferred technique for the study of polymorphism inPopulus. This research is the first report concerning the use of AFLP analysis in genetic diversity and germplasm identification among all sections ofPopulus.     

Establishment of AFLP technique and assessment of primer combinations for mei flower

Mei flower is one of the most famous ornamental flowers in eastern Asia for its blossoming in early spring. Amplified fragment length polymorphism (AFLP) is one of the most frequently used techniques for analysis of genetic variation and is used herein for the first time inPrunus mume. This research provides a detailed and modified AFLP protocol for Mei genomic DNA digested withEcoRI/PstI restriction endonuclease combinations. The 10 best primer pairs of high polymorphism were screened from 256 primer combinations that could reliably and repetitively distinguish 14 Mei samples and would be suitable for genetic analysis of more cultivars. Ten primer pairs produced up to a total of 524 AFLP bands and up to 233 polymorphic bands. The ratio of polymorphic bands scoped from 35.71% to 59.67%, and the average ratio was 44.46% in the 10 primers. AFLP is an effective, inexpensive, and timesaving technique for the genetic differentiation of the Mei cultivars, as evidenced in this study.     

Comparison of four molecular markers for genetic analysis in Diospyros L. (Ebenaceae)

Four molecular markers, including inter-retrotransposon amplified polymorphism (IRAP), retrotransposon-microsatellite amplified polymorphism (REMAP), sequence-specific amplified polymorphism (SSAP), and amplified fragment length polymorphism (AFLP), were compared in terms of their informativeness and efficiency for analysis of genetic relationships among 28 genotypes in the genus Diospyros. The results were as follows: (1) the highest level of detected polymorphism were observed for IRAP; (2) AFLP was the most efficient marker system due to the simultaneous detection of abundant polymorphism markers per single reaction; (3) the marker index (MI) value was lower for SSAP than for AFLP, but SSAP had a higher level of detected polymorphism than AFLP; (4) the correlation coefficients of similarity were statistically significant for all four marker systems; (5) the four molecular markers yielded similar phylogenetic trees. To our knowledge, this was the first detailed report of a comparison of performance among three retrotransposon-based molecular markers (IRAP, REMAP, SSAP) and the AFLP technique (DNA-based molecular marker) on a set of samples of Diospyros. The results provide guidance for future efficient use of these molecular methods in the genetic analysis of Diospyros.     

An AFLP-based database of Shigella flexneri and Shigella sonnei isolates and its use for the identification of untypable Shigella strains

Amplified fragment length polymorphism (AFLP) can be used to assess the genetic diversity of closely related microbial genomes. In this study, the first of its kind for identification of Shigella, the high discriminatory power of AFLP has been used to determine the genetic relatedness of 230 isolates of Shigella flexneri and Shigella sonnei strains. An AFLP database was generated to demonstrate its utility in the discrimination of closely related strains. Based on AFLP, S. flexneri strains could be grouped into separate clusters according to their serotypes. Within each serotype, strains demonstrated 80-100% similarity indicating that identical strains and closely related strains could be distinguished by this technique. S. flexneri 6 formed a distinct cluster with 55% similarity to the rest of the S. flexneri strains showing significant divergence from the rest of the S. flexneri strains. Significantly, S. sonnei isolates formed a distinct group and showed approximately the same level of genetic linkage to S. flexneri as Escherichia coli strains. Untypable isolates that showed conflicting agglutination reactions with conventional typing sera were identifiable by AFLP. Thus AFLP can be used for genetic fingerprinting of Shigella strains and aid in the identification of variant untypable isolates.
