Novel Chloroplast Microsatellite (cpSSR) Markers for Genetic Diversity Assessment of Cultivated and Wild Hevea Rubber

Understanding the genetic diversity and population structure of Hevea is of great importance for managing its conservation and for utilization of rubber genetic resources. In this study, we investigated the genetic diversity and population structure of eight populations of Hevea rubber genotypes from Malaysia (MY), India (IN), Sri Lanka (LK), Indonesia (ID), France (FR), Thailand (TH), Brazil (BR), and China (CN), in addition to individual primary clones, using 10 nuclear and 11 polymorphic novel chloroplast microsatellite markers (nSSRs and cpSSRs, respectively). The BR population exhibited the greatest genetic diversity (H _e ) for both nSSR (0.841) and haploid genetic diversity (cpSSR; 0.207) markers. Bayesian analysis was applied to infer genetic structure based on nSSR data using STRUCTURE software, and a neighbor-joining tree was used to construct an unrooted phylogram based on Nei’s genetic distance that clustered these Hevea genotypes into three groups. Six polymorphic cpSSR markers produced 13 alleles and eight chlorotypes. Seven chlorotypes, A, B, C, D, E, F, and H were detected among Brazilian populations from Acre (AC), Rondônia (RO), and Mato Grosso (MT) locations. The G and H chlorotypes were found in Asiatic genotypes or Wickham clones and only one genotype, 15 AC-F-7 38-62 from AC location. These results provide valuable data for in situ or ex situ conservation and utilization of germplasm collections for breeding programs.

     

枣品种耐盐性与叶片生物膜结合态多胺水平和H~＋-ATP酶活性的关系

120mmol·L^-1NaCl胁迫30d,耐盐性强的‘金丝小枣’叶片细胞质膜、液泡膜共价结合态腐胺（Put）、亚精胺（Spd）、精胺（Spm）含量及多胺（PAs）总水平与对照无显著性差异,但耐盐性弱的‘冬枣’叶片质膜共价结合态Put、Spd、Spm含量和PAs总水平及液泡膜Spd含量均显著降低;‘金丝小枣’叶片类囊体膜共价结合态Put含量、PAs总水平较对照显著降低,‘冬枣’则是Put、Spd、Spm含量及PAs总水平均显著降低。盐胁迫下,‘金丝小枣’叶片细胞质膜、液泡膜、类囊体膜非共价结合态Put、Spd、Spm含量及PAs总水平下降,但其中仅类囊体膜Spd含量显著低于对照,而‘冬枣’的3种膜上非共价结合态的这些多胺及其总水平均显著低于对照。与对照相比,盐胁迫下耐盐性不同的2个枣品种,叶片细胞质膜、液泡膜和类囊体膜H＋-ATP酶活性均降低,但降低幅度因枣品种和生物膜种类不同而异,且H＋-ATP酶活性与相应膜结合态多胺水平存在极紧密的正相关关系。结果表明,膜结合态多胺参与枣品种耐盐性的表达,调节盐胁迫下枣叶细胞中溶质的跨膜运输。     

几种提取枣和酸枣DNA用于RAPD分析的方法比较

利用不同的方法提取枣和酸枣的总DNA,并分析了不同样品状况、抗氧化剂和纯化过程等对所提DNA质量及其RAPD扩增效果的影响。实验显示：用改良CTAB法优于SDS法,可有效去除多糖。加入的抗氧化剂PVP、抗坏血酸、β-巯基乙醇等可有效阻止多酚类物质褐化,但不同抗氧化剂间效果差别不大。分别将样品干燥处理、固定处理、液氮处理、冷藏,与新鲜材料相比,用液氮处理并保存于-80℃的材料与新鲜材料所提DNA相当,而用其他方法DNA都有不同程度降解。不同材料提取结果比较显示：幼叶所提DNA产量和质量优于老叶,并且不需要较多的纯化过程。在有RNA和少量蛋白质时,对扩增结果影响不大。

Rapid SNP Discovery and a RAD-Based High-Density Linkage Map in Jujube (Ziziphus Mill.)

Background

Ziziphus Mill. (jujube), the most valued genus of Rhamnaceae, comprises of a number of economically and ecologically important species such as Z. jujuba Mill., Z. acidojujuba Cheng et Liu and Z. mauritiana Lam. Single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) markers and a high-density genetic map are of great benefit to the improvement of the crop, mapping quantitative trait loci (QTL) and analyzing genome structure. However, such a high-density map is still absent in the genus Ziziphus and even the family Rhamnaceae. The recently developed restriction-site associated DNA (RAD) marker has been proven to be most powerful in genetic map construction. The objective of this study was to construct a high-density linkage map using the RAD tags generated by next generation sequencing.

Results

An interspecific F1 population and their parents (Z. jujuba Mill. ‘JMS2’ × Z. acidojujuba Cheng et Liu ‘Xing 16’) were genotyped using a mapping-by-sequencing approach, to generate RAD-based SNP markers. A total of 42,784 putative high quality SNPs were identified between the parents and 2,872 high-quality RAD markers were grouped in genetic maps. Of the 2,872 RAD markers, 1,307 were linked to the female genetic map, 1,336 to the male map, and 2,748 to the integrated map spanning 913.87 centi-morgans (cM) with an average marker interval of 0.34 cM. The integrated map contained 12 linkage groups (LGs), consistent with the haploid chromosome number of the two parents.

Conclusion

We first generated a high-density genetic linkage map with 2,748 RAD markers for jujube and a large number of SNPs were also developed. It provides a useful tool for both marker-assisted breeding and a variety of genome investigations in jujube, such as sequence assembly, gene localization, QTL detection and genome structure comparison.     

Cryopreservation for eradication of Jujube witches' broom phytoplasma from Chinese jujube (Ziziphus jujuba)

Here, we report efficient eradication of Jujube witches' broom phytoplasma (Candidatus Phytoplasma ziziphi) from Chinese jujube (Ziziphus jujuba) by cryopreservation. Shoot tips (1.0 mm in size) with 5–6 leaf primordia (LPs) excised from diseased in vitro stock shoots were subject to droplet‐vitrification cryopreservation. Shoot tips following cryopreservation were post‐cultured on a recovery medium for survival. Plantlet regeneration was obtained by micrografting of surviving shoot tips upon in vitro rootstocks. With this protocol, 85% of shoot tips survived following cryopreservation, among which 75% regenerated into whole plantlets and all of them were free of phytoplasma, regardless of the sizes used for cryopreservation. Ultrastructural studies demonstrated that phytoplasma was absent in the apical dome, and leaf primordia (LPs) 1 and 2, while abundance of phytoplasma was present in the lower parts of shoot tips, leaf primordium 3 and older tissues. Histological observations showed that much more damage was found in cells located in the lower part of apical dome, leaf primordium 3 and older tissues than in those at the upper part of apical dome and in the LPs 1 and 2. These cells were most likely to survive and regenerate into phytoplasma‐free plantlets following cryopreservation and micrografting. Ploidy levels analyzed by flow cytometry (FCM) were maintained in plantlets regenerated from cryopreservation followed by micrografting. Results reported here would provide technical support for production of phytoplasma‐free plants and for long‐term storage of germplasm of Chinese jujube.

Genome-Wide Analysis of Microsatellite Markers Based on Sequenced Database in Chinese Spring Wheat (Triticum aestivum L.)

Microsatellites or simple sequence repeats (SSRs) are distributed across both prokaryotic and eukaryotic genomes and have been widely used for genetic studies and molecular marker-assisted breeding in crops. Though an ordered draft sequence of hexaploid bread wheat have been announced, the researches about systemic analysis of SSRs for wheat still have not been reported so far. In the present study, we identified 364,347 SSRs from among 10,603,760 sequences of the Chinese spring wheat (CSW) genome, which were present at a density of 36.68 SSR/Mb. In total, we detected 488 types of motifs ranging from di- to hexanucleotides, among which dinucleotide repeats dominated, accounting for approximately 42.52% of the genome. The density of tri- to hexanucleotide repeats was 24.97%, 4.62%, 3.25% and 24.65%, respectively. AG/CT, AAG/CTT, AGAT/ATCT, AAAAG/CTTTT and AAAATT/AATTTT were the most frequent repeats among di- to hexanucleotide repeats. Among the 21 chromosomes of CSW, the density of repeats was highest on chromosome 2D and lowest on chromosome 3A. The proportions of di-, tri-, tetra-, penta- and hexanucleotide repeats on each chromosome, and even on the whole genome, were almost identical. In addition, 295,267 SSR markers were successfully developed from the 21 chromosomes of CSW, which cover the entire genome at a density of 29.73 per Mb. All of the SSR markers were validated by reverse electronic-Polymerase Chain Reaction (re-PCR); 70,564 (23.9%) were found to be monomorphic and 224,703 (76.1%) were found to be polymorphic. A total of 45 monomorphic markers were selected randomly for validation purposes; 24 (53.3%) amplified one locus, 8 (17.8%) amplified multiple identical loci, and 13 (28.9%) did not amplify any fragments from the genomic DNA of CSW. Then a dendrogram was generated based on the 24 monomorphic SSR markers among 20 wheat cultivars and three species of its diploid ancestors showing that monomorphic SSR markers represented a promising source to increase the number of genetic markers available for the wheat genome. The results of this study will be useful for investigating the genetic diversity and evolution among wheat and related species. At the same time, the results will facilitate comparative genomic studies and marker-assisted breeding (MAS) in plants.     

Chloroplast DNA Diversity in Populations of Wild and Cultivated Barley

Chloroplast DNA (cpDNA) diversity was found within and among populations (245 accessions total) of wild barley, Hordeum vulgare L. ssp. spontaneum Koch from Israel and Iran. Three polymorphic restriction sites (HindIII, EcoRI, BclI) which define three distinct cpDNA lineages were detected. One lineage is common to populations in the Hule Valley and Kinneret of northern Israel, and in Iran. The second lineage is found predominantly in the Lower Jordan Valley and Negev. The distribution of the third lineage is scattered but widespread throughout Israel. Sixty two accessions of cultivated barleys, H. vulgare L., were found, with two exceptions, to belong to just one cpDNA lineage of wild barley, indicating that the cpDNA of cultivated barley is less variable than its wild ancestor. These results demonstrate the need for assessing intraspecific cpDNA variability prior to choosing single accessions for phylogenetic constructions at the species level and higher.
