Genetic analysis of 56 samples of Jatropha curcas L. collected from Thailand and other countries was performed using the methylation-sensitive amplification polymorphism (MSAP) technique. Nine primer combinations were used to generate MSAP fingerprints. When the data were interpreted as amplified fragment length polymorphism (AFLP) markers, 471 markers were scored. All 56 samples were classified into three major groups: γ-irradiated, non-toxic and toxic accessions. Genetic similarity among the samples was extremely high, ranging from 0.95 to 1.00, which indicated very low genetic diversity in this species. The MSAP fingerprint was further analyzed for DNA methylation polymorphisms. The results revealed differences in the DNA methylation level among the samples. However, the samples collected from saline areas and some species hybrids showed specific DNA methylation patterns. AFLP data were used, together with methylation-sensitive AFLP (MS-AFLP) data, to construct a phylogenetic tree, resulting in higher efficiency to distinguish the samples. This combined analysis separated samples previously grouped in the AFLP analysis. This analysis also distinguished some hybrids. Principal component analysis was also performed; the results confirmed the separation in the phylogenetic tree. Some polymorphic bands, involving both nucleotide and DNA methylation polymorphism, that differed between toxic and non-toxic samples were identified, cloned and sequenced. BLAST analysis of these fragments revealed differences in DNA methylation in some known genes and nucleotide polymorphism in chloroplast DNA. We conclude that MSAP is a powerful technique for the study of genetic diversity for organisms that have a narrow genetic base. 相似文献

DNA methylation increases throughout Arabidopsis development 总被引:9,自引:0,他引:9
We used amplified fragment length polymorphisms (AFLP) to analyze the stability of DNA methylation throughout Arabidopsis development. AFLP can detect genome-wide changes in cytosine methylation produced by DNA demethylation agents, such as 5-azacytidine, or specific mutations at the DDM1 locus. In both cases, cytosine demethylation is associated with a general increase in the presence of amplified fragments. Using this approach, we followed DNA methylation at methylation sensitive restriction sites throughout Arabidopsis development. The results show a progressive DNA methylation trend from cotyledons to vegetative organs to reproductive organs. 相似文献

We analyzed genetic diversity and population genetic structure of four artificial populations of wild barley (Hordeum brevisubulatum); 96 plants collected from the Songnen Prairie in northeastern China were analyzed using amplified fragment length polymorphism (AFLP), specific-sequence amplified polymorphism (SSAP) and methylation-sensitive amplified polymorphism (MSAP) markers. Indices of (epi-)genetic diversity, (epi-)genetic distance, gene flow, genotype frequency, cluster analysis, PCA analysis and AMOVA analysis generated from MSAP, AFLP and SSAP markers had the same trend. We found a high level of correlation in the artificial populations between MSAP, SSAP and AFLP markers by the Mantel test (r > 0.8). This is incongruent with previous findings showing that there is virtually no correlation between DNA methylation polymorphism and classical genetic variation; the high level of genetic polymorphism could be a result of epigenetic regulation. We compared our results with data from natural populations. The population diversity of the artificial populations was lower. However, different from what was found using AFLP and SSAP, based on MSAP results the methylation polymorphism of the artificial populations was not significantly reduced. This leads us to suggest that the DNA methylation pattern change in H. brevisubulatum populations is not only related to DNA sequence variation, but is also regulated by other controlling systems. 相似文献

Cryopreservation is the long-term, indefinite storage of living biological resources at ultralow temperatures. It is almost universally assumed that cryogenic storage supports genetic and phenotypic stability of organisms. However, certain components of the cryopreservation process, particularly some cryoprotective additives (CPAs) and free radical mediated cryoinjury, may potentially cause genetic alterations. Genetic integrity in cryopreserved microalgae was assessed using a very sensitive molecular fingerprinting technique, AFLP, on 28 terrestrial microalgal strains. In about half of all investigated strains the AFLP fingerprints revealed, with high levels of reproducibility, clearly detectable genomic differences after cryopreservation employing a widely used standard two-step cooling protocol. Differences ranged from a single fragment position to multiple fragment changes and were compared to differences found between wild-type and UV-light- or radioisotope-induced mutants of Parachlorella kessleri. The basis of the changes are discussed in terms of their reversibility, as may be the case if they are attributed to DNA methylation and/or whether they are true mutations that may potentially manifest in the phenotype. The possibility that cryopreservation selects for genotypically different subpopulations of microalgae is also considered. 相似文献

Genetically stable regeneration of apple plants from slow growth 总被引:4,自引:0,他引:4
Shoot-tips of apple cultivar `Gala' were stored in vitrousing a low temperature slow-growth culture method. All shoot-tips survived 1-year storage, with a significant height increment over that period. Eight `Gala' single-bud sibling lines were established for genetic analysis. Although cytological examination detected chromosomal variation in plants recovered from slow growth culture, the ploidy remained genetically stable relative to the before-storage cultures. An amplified fragment length polymorphism (AFLP) assay was performed to detect DNA sequence variation. No differences in the DNA fragment patterns were observed using 20 primer combinations between the before-storage and the stored samples. In addition, a methylation sensitive amplified polymorphism (MSAP) assay was performed to investigate the DNA methylation status in both the before-storage and stored samples. It was found that the slow-growth storage resulted in a significant DNA methylation change in the stored shoots compared with the before-storage samples. 相似文献

In vitro clonal propagation of plants should generate identical copies of the selected genotype. However, associated stress
might result in a breakdown of control mechanisms and consequent instability of the genome. We have used several molecular
methods to assess the genetic stability of long-term propagated (24 years) multiple shoot in vitro culture of pea (Pisum sativum L.). We focused on assessing the stability of repetitive sequences, such as simple sequence repeats (SSR) and retrotransposons,
both comprising a large part of genome. No differences were found when seedlings (Co-2004) or original seed (Co-1982) controls and long-term or newly established in vitro (one subculture cycle) samples were investigated by the SSR, inter-repeats
(ISSR) or inter-retrotransposon amplified polymorphism (IRAP) method. However, the more global amplified fragment length polymorphism
(AFLP) and particularly the methylation sensitive MSAP methods detected 11 and 18% polymorphism among samples, respectively.
Interestingly, investigation of the global cytosine methylation status by HPCE measurement revealed no statistically significant
differences. Some evidence of retrotransposon re-arrangement was observed by sequence-specific amplification polymorphism.
This occurred mostly in the abundant Ty3-gypsy type Cyclop element and to a smaller extent in the Ogre element. Alternatively, no polymorphism was detected among the PDR-1 element of the Ty1-copia type retrotransposon. Based on these results, multiple shoot culture of pea maintained over a long period may be considered
as a true to type multiplication method of the original genotype. 相似文献

Gardenia jasminoides Ellis is an evergreen tropical plant and favorite to gardeners throughout the world. Several studies have documented that
in vitro micropropagation can be used for clonal propagation of G. jasminoides Ellis, the efficiency remained low. In addition, no information is available on the genetic and epigenetic fidelity of the
micropropagated plants. Here, we report on a simplified protocol for high efficient micropropagation of G. jasminoides Ellis cv. “Kinberly” based on enhanced branching of shoot-tips as explants. The protocol consisted of sequential use of three
media, namely, bud-induction, elongation and root-induction. By using two molecular markers, amplified fragment length polymorphism
(AFLP) and methylation sensitive amplified polymorphism (MSAP), we analyzed the genetic and DNA methylation pattern stability
of 23 morphologically normal plants randomly taken from a sub-population (>100) of micropropagated plants originated from
a single shoot-tip. We found that of >1,000 scored AFLP bands across the 23 micropropagated plants, no incident of genetic
variation was detected. In contrast, of 750 scored MSAP bands, moderate but clear alteration in several DNA methylation patterns
occurred in the majority of the 23 micropropagated plants. The changed methylation patterns involved both CG and CHG sites
representing either hyper- or hypo-methylation, which occurred without altering the total methylation levels partly due to
concomitant hyper- and hypo-methylation alterations. Our results indicated that epigenetic instability in the form of DNA
methylation patterns can be susceptible to the in vitro micropropagation process for G. jasminoides Ellis, and needs to be taken into account in the process of large-scale commercial propagation of this plant. 相似文献

In the present study, two polymerase chain reaction (PCR)-based methods namely, randomly amplified polymophic DNA (RAPD) and
amplification fragment length polymorphism (AFLP) were employed to assess genetic variations, which may appeared, in tissue
culture-derived date palm (Phoenix dactylifera) offshoots. Analysis of RAPD banding patterns generated by PCR amplification using 37 random primers gave no evidences for
somaclonal variations and the percentage of polymorphic bands in a total of 259 scored bands was zero. Meanwhile, analysis
of AFLP banding patterns generated using 13 primer combinations pointed to minor genetic variations in the AFLP banding patterns.
The percentage of genetic variations (polymorphism) in tissue culture-derived date palm offshoots belonging to cultivars Sakkoty,
Gandila and Bertamoda was 2.6, 0.79 and 1 %, respectively, as revealed by AFLP analysis. The low percentage of genetic variations
confirms the genetic stability of tissue culture-derived dry date palm cultivars. 相似文献

AFLP-Based detection of DNA methylation 总被引:14,自引:0,他引:14
By using the isoschizomersHpa II andMsp I which display differential sensitivity to cytosine methylation, a modified amplified fragment length polymorphism (AFLP)
technique has been developed to investigate DNA methylation profiles in eukaryotic organims. Genomic DNA was digested with
a mixture ofEcoR I and one of the isoschizomers, and ligated to oligonucleotide adapters. After two rounds of selective PCR amplification,
followed by DNA separation on a Long Ranger gel electrophoresis, a subset of restriction fragments can be displayed on an
X-ray film. Comparison of AFLP banding patterns betweenHpa II andMsp I revealed the extent of DNA methylation. The technique has been successfully applied in this study to investigate DNA methylation
profiles of apple (Malus domestica cv. Gala) genomic DNA extracted from leaves of field-grown adult trees andin vitro-grown shoot cultures. The results showed that up to 25 percent of AFLP bands were derived from methylated sequences, and
among those, a few bands unique to either adult trees orin vitro shoots were observed. These results demonstrated that this protocol is effective in identifying methylated DNA profiles.

Effect of cryopreservation on apple genetic resources at morphological, chromosomal, and molecular levels. 总被引:12,自引:0,他引:12
Shoot tips of three apple genotypes, namely, Malus pumila cv. M26, Gala, and Hokkaido No. 9, were successfully cryopreserved using a modified encapsulation-dehydration method. As a result, in addition to a high survival rate and regeneration rate, the capacity of shoots regenerated from cryopreserved samples to root was enhanced. Eight M26 single-bud sibling lines were used to assess genetic stability. Although cytological examination revealed a ploidy difference in the noncryopreserved control, the ploidy constitution remained relatively stable during the period of cryopreservation. Amplified fragment length polymorphism (AFLP) assay was performed to detect DNA-level variation. No change in DNA fragment pattern and number was observed between the control and the cryopreserved samples. In addition, methylation-sensitive amplified polymorphism (MSAP) assay was carried out to investigate the DNA methylation status during the period of cryopreservation. It was found that cryopreservation induced a decrease in DNA methylation level. 相似文献

The ecological significance of epigenetic variation has been generally inferred from studies on model plants under artificial conditions, but the importance of epigenetic differences between individuals as a source of intraspecific diversity in natural plant populations remains essentially unknown. This study investigates the relationship between epigenetic variation and functional plant diversity by conducting epigenetic (methylation‐sensitive amplified fragment length polymorphisms, MSAP) and genetic (amplified fragment length polymorphisms, AFLP) marker–trait association analyses for 20 whole‐plant, leaf and regenerative functional traits in a large sample of wild‐growing plants of the perennial herb Helleborus foetidus from ten sampling sites in south‐eastern Spain. Plants differed widely in functional characteristics, and exhibited greater epigenetic than genetic diversity, as shown by per cent polymorphism of MSAP fragments (92%) or markers (69%) greatly exceeding that for AFLP ones (41%). After controlling for genetic structuring and possible cryptic relatedness, every functional trait considered exhibited a significant association with at least one AFLP or MSAP marker. A total of 27 MSAP (13.0% of total) and 12 AFLP (4.4%) markers were involved in significant associations, which explained on average 8.2% and 8.0% of trait variance, respectively. Individual MSAP markers were more likely to be associated with functional traits than AFLP markers. Between‐site differences in multivariate functional diversity were directly related to variation in multilocus epigenetic diversity after multilocus genetic diversity was statistically accounted for. Results suggest that epigenetic variation can be an important source of intraspecific functional diversity in H. foetidus, possibly endowing this species with the capacity to exploit a broad range of ecological conditions despite its modest genetic diversity. 相似文献

AFLP fingerprinting reveals pattern differences between template DNA extracted from different plant organs. 总被引:8,自引:0,他引:8
AFLP (amplified fragment length polymorphism) fingerprinting of cultivars of bread wheat (Triticum aestivum) and some of its wild relatives has allowed the efficient detection of large numbers of polymorphic amplified fragments. While the reproducibility of fingerprints in repeated experiments is high, pattern differences were observed between fingerprints obtained from seed and leaf DNA template from the same wheat accession. These distinct organ specific amplified DNA fragments were shown to be due neither to genotypic mixtures nor to pathogen contamination. They are likely a result of differences in DNA methylation between organs. Even greater numbers of organ specific amplified fragments were observed when fingerprints obtained from the root and shoot of individual seedlings of the wheat relatives Aegilops mutica and Aegilops speltoides were compared. This phenomenon underlines the importance of ensuring that DNA is extracted from physiologically uniform tissue in phylogenetic studies based on AFLP fingerprints. For this purpose, mature seed is a convenient source. 相似文献

Variation of DNA methylation is thought to play an important role for rapid adjustments of plant populations to dynamic environmental conditions, thus compensating for the relatively slow response time of genetic adaptations. However, genetic and epigenetic variation of wild plant populations has not yet been directly compared in fast changing environments. Here, we surveyed populations of Viola elatior from two adjacent habitat types along a successional gradient characterized by strong differences in light availability. Using amplified fragment length polymorphisms (AFLP) and methylation‐sensitive amplification polymorphisms (MSAP) analyses, we found relatively low levels of genetic (H′gen = 0.19) and epigenetic (H′epi = 0.23) diversity and high genetic (?ST = 0.72) and epigenetic (?ST = 0.51) population differentiation. Diversity and differentiation were significantly correlated, suggesting that epigenetic variation partly depends on the same driving forces as genetic variation. Correlation‐based genome scans detected comparable levels of genetic (17.0%) and epigenetic (14.2%) outlier markers associated with site specific light availability. However, as revealed by separate differentiation‐based genome scans for AFLP, only few genetic markers seemed to be actually under positive selection (0–4.5%). Moreover, principal coordinates analyses and Mantel tests showed that overall epigenetic variation was more closely related to habitat conditions, indicating that environmentally induced methylation changes may lead to convergence of populations experiencing similar habitat conditions and thus may play a major role for the transient and/or heritable adjustment to changing environments. Additionally, using a new MSAP‐scoring approach, we found that mainly the unmethylated (?ST = 0.60) and CG‐methylated states (?ST = 0.46) of epiloci contributed to population differentiation and putative habitat‐related adaptation, whereas CHG‐hemimethylated states (?ST = 0.21) only played a marginal role. 相似文献

Genetic differences among three colour morphotypes of the black rockfish,Sebastes inermis,inferred from mtDNA and AFLP analyses 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3
The genetic differences among three colour morphotypes of the black rockish, Sebastes inermis, were determined from mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) and amplified fragment length polymorphisms (AFLP) analyses. In the AFLP analysis, each morphotype could be distinguished by the presence or absence matrix of five AFLP loci. These diagnostic loci indicated that the three morphotypes represented independent gene pools, indicating reproductive isolation. Furthermore, 14 significant frequency differences in AFLP fragments were observed between morphotypes A and B, 12 between morphotypes A and C and six between morphotypes B and C. These significant differences also supported the likelihood of reproductive isolation among the morphotypes. In the mtDNA analysis, variations in partial sequences of the control region failed to distinguish clearly between the three morphotypes, but restrictions of gene flow and genetic differentiation among the morphotypes were supported by significant FST estimates. The absence of diagnostic mtDNA differences in this study may have been due to introgressive hybridization among the morphotypes and/or incomplete lineage sorting, due to the recency of speciation. 相似文献

Introgression lines are some of the most important germplasm for breeding applications and other research conducted on cotton crops. The DNA methylation level among 10 introgression lines of cotton (Gossypium hirsutum) and three exotic parental species (G. arboreum, G. thurberi and G. barbadense) were assessed by methylation-sensitive amplified polymorphism (MSAP) technology. The methylation level in the introgression lines ranged from 33.3 to 51.5%. However, the lines PD0111 and PD0113 had the lowest methylation level (34.6 and 33.3%, respectively) due to demethylation of most non-coding sequences. Amplified fragment length polymorphism (AFLP) was used to evaluate the genetic polymorphism in the cotton introgression lines. A high degree of polymorphism was observed in all introgression lines (mean 47.2%) based on AFLP and MSAP analyses. This confirmed the effects of genetic improvement on cotton introgression lines. The low methylation varieties, PD0111 and PD0113 (introgression lines), clustered outside of the introgression lines based on MSAP data, which was incongruent with an AFLP-based dendrogram. This phenomenon could be caused by environmental changes or introgression of exotic DNA fragments. 相似文献

AFLP标记的特点及其在昆虫学研究中的应用 总被引:20,自引:4,他引:16
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。 相似文献

Recent development of DNA markers provides powerful tools for population genetic analyses. Amplified fragment length polymorphism (AFLP) markers result from a polymerase chain reaction (PCR)-based DNA fingerprinting technique that can detect multiple restriction fragments in a single polyacrylamide gel, and thus are potentially useful for population genetic studies. Because AFLP markers have to be analysed as dominant loci in order to estimate population genetic diversity and genetic structure parameters, one must assume that dominant (amplified) alleles are identical in state, recessive (unamplified) alleles are identical in state, AFLP fragments segregate according to Mendelian expectations and that the genotypes of an AFLP locus are in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium (HWE). The HWE assumption is untestable for natural populations using dominant markers. Restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) markers segregate as codominant alleles, and can therefore be used to test the HWE assumption that is critical for analysing AFLP data. This study examined whether the dominant AFLP markers could provide accurate estimates of genetic variability for the Aedes aegypti mosquito populations of Trinidad, West Indies, by comparing genetic structure parameters using AFLP and RFLP markers. For AFLP markers, we tested a total of five primer combinations and scored 137 putative loci. For RFLP, we examined a total of eight mapped markers that provide a broad coverage of mosquito genome. The estimated average heterozygosity with AFLP markers was similar among the populations (0.39), and the observed average heterozygosity with RFLP markers varied from 0.44 to 0.58. The average FST (standardized among-population genetic variance) estimates were 0.033 for AFLP and 0.063 for RFLP markers. The genotypes at several RFLP loci were not in HWE, suggesting that the assumption critical for analysing AFLP data was invalid for some loci of the mosquito populations in Trinidad. Therefore, the results suggest that, compared with dominant molecular markers, codominant DNA markers provide better estimates of population genetic variability, and offer more statistical power for detecting population genetic structure. 相似文献
