Determination of diethylstilbestrol based on biotin–streptavidin‐amplified time‐resolved fluoro‐immunoassay

A rapid and sensitive time‐resolved fluoroimmunoassay (TR–FIA) based on the biotin–streptavidin amplification system was developed for the determination of diethylstilbestrol (DES). Europium‐labelled streptavidin derivatives combined with europium and anhydride of diethylene triamine penta‐acetic acid were used to label streptavidin; biotin was coupled with goat anti‐rabbit IgG to form a biotin–goat anti‐rabbit IgG bridge between streptavidin–europium and the anti‐DES antibody in the immunoassay. The DES assay was carried out by measuring the fluorescence of Eu³⁺–SA at 615 nm. The presented method produced a wide linear range, 0.001–1000.0 ng/mL, and a detection limit up to 0.81 pg/mL for DES. The method was applied to determine DES in serum samples, with recoveries of 97.4–107.8% and RSD 1.32–4.04%. The assay results by the present method showed that biotin–streptavidin amplified TR–FIA for DES detection; it may offer high sensitivity and promising alternative special methods in biological samples.

AFLP分析中多态性扩增产物的回收、克隆及鉴定

本研究在摸索和优化了水稻AFLP分析体系的基础上,发展了多态性AFLP产物的高效克隆方法。特异AFLP扩增产物直接从变性聚丙烯酰胺凝胶上分离纯化,再经过一至二轮PCR扩增,即可高效地克隆于pGEM-Teasy vector系统中。本实验利用该方法成功地克隆了水稻温敏核不育等位突变系546 0S和5460F间的4个多态性AFLP产物,Southern bloting分析证明其中3个产物在水稻基因组中为单拷贝序列,另一个为低拷贝序列。AFLP技术强有力的多态性检出能力再结合多态性扩增产物的高效克隆方法,为寻找与目标基因紧密连锁的分子标记提供了有力工具。 Abstracts:An efficient method for cloning DNA fragment from denaturing polyacrylamide gels was developed to allow the isolation of specific bands obtained from amplified fragment length polymorphism(AFLP)products.After isolation and purification from the thin denaturing polyacrylamide gels,specific AFLP products were successfully cloned after one or two rounds of PCR reamplification.Using this method 4 polymorphic AFLP products between a pair of rice allelic lines differing for thermo-sensitive genic male sterile(TGMS)ene were cloned and it was confirmed that 3 of the AFLP products represented single copy sequences and the other 1 represented low copy sequence in rice genome.     

A molecular study of hybridization and homoploid hybrid speciation in Argyranthemum (Asteraceae) on Tenerife,the Canary Islands

Examples of recurrent homoploid hybrid speciation are few. One often‐cited example is Argyranthemum sundingii. This example includes two described species, A. lemsii and A. sundingii, resulting from reciprocal hybridization between A. broussonetii and A. frutescens on Tenerife. The four species and artificial F₁ and F₂ hybrids have previously been investigated morphologically and cytologically. Here, we examine population differentiation based on amplified fragment length polymorphism to get a better understanding of the genetic relationships among the species and the extent of hybridization. We aim to investigate if there is molecular support for treating the hybrid species as one taxon. Seven parental and four hybrid species populations (149 individuals) were analysed and we scored 85 polymorphic markers. A few (2–5) were private to each species but variably present and mostly rare. Our principal coordinate, STRUCTURE and BAPS analyses and AMOVA resulted in a clear separation of the parental species. The hybrid species were genetically less divergent but not identical. Our data indicate that hybridization and introgression are common in all these species on Tenerife and support the hypothesis that homoploid hybrid speciation has occurred repeatedly. Intrinsic post‐zygotic barriers are notoriously weak in Argyranthemum and reproductive isolation and speciation result primarily from strong ecological selection. © 2009 The Linnean Society of London, Botanical Journal of the Linnean Society, 2009, 159 , 19–31.

AFLP-Based detection of DNA methylation

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. Both first authors have contributed equally to this work.     

Amplified fragment length polymorphism (AFLP) as suitable markers to study orobanche cumana genetic diversity

Orobanche cumana Wallr., an obligate root parasite of sunflower can cause severe damage to this crop. The genetic diversity obtained with random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) and amplified fragment length polymorphism (AFLP) on two Orobanche populations were compared. Nei and Li distance matrices obtained with both methods among the two populations were correlated significantly according to Mantel's test and could partition the populations. The sampling variance of genetic distances within and among populations estimated using bootstrap procedure were not significantly different between the two techniques. The principal difference between the two techniques is that AFLP markers gave a higher degree of resolution for discriminating closely related germplasm than RAPD.     

Differentiation of bermudagrass (Cynodon spp.) genotypes by AFLP analyses

 Bermudagrasses (Cynodon spp.) are major turfgrasses for home lawns, public parks, golf courses and sport fields, and are widely adapted to tropical and warmer temperate climates. Morphological and physiological characteristics are not sufficient to differentiate some bermudagrass genotypes because the differences between them are often subtle and subject to environmental influence. In this study, a DNA-typing technique, amplified fragment length polymorphism (AFLP), was used to differentiate bermudagrass genotypes and to explore their genetic relationships. Twenty seven bermudagrass cultivars and introductions, mostly from the Coastal Plain Experiment Station in Tifton, Ga., were assayed by the radioactive (³²P) and the fluorescence-labeled AFLP methods. The AFLP technique produced enough polymorphism to differentiate all 27 bermudagrass genotypes, even the closely related ones. An average of 48–74 bands in the 30–600-bp size range was detected by the ³²P-labeled AFLP method. The results indicated that most of the 14 primer combinations tested in this study could be used to distinguish bermudagrass genotypes, and that some single primer-pairs could differentiate all 27 of them. To test the reliability and reproducibility of the AFLP procedure, three DNA isolations (replications) of the 27 bermudagrass genotypes were assayed using five primer pairs. Only 0.6% of the bands were evaluated differently among the three replications. One replication of one genotype (which was most likely a planting contaminant) was grouped in an unexpected cluster using the Unweighted Pair Group Mean Average (UPGMA) method. A one- or two-band difference in scoring did not change the clustering of genotypes or the replications within genotypes. The 27 genotypes were grouped into three major clusters, many of which were in agreement with known pedigrees. Trees constructed with different primer combinations using ³²P- and fluorescence-labelling formed similar major groupings. The semi-automated fluorescence-based AFLP technique offered significant improvements on fragment sizing and data handling. It was also more accurate for detection and more efficient than the radioactive labelling method. This study shows that the AFLP technique is a reliable tool for differentiating bermudagrass genotypes and for determining genetic relationships among them.

AFLP Analysis of Genetic Diversity of the Endangered Species Sinopodophyllum hexandrum in the Tibetan Region of Sichuan Province,China

Amplified fragment length polymorphism (AFLP) markers were used to estimate the genetic diversity of seven wild populations of Sinopodophyllum hexandrum (Royle) Ying from the Tibetan region of Sichuan Province, China. Six primer combinations generated a total of 428 discernible DNA fragments, of which 111 were polymorphic. The percentage of polymorphic bands (PPB) was 25.93 at the species level, and PPB within population ranged from 4.91 to 12.38%. Genetic diversity (H _E) within populations varied from 0.01 to 0.04, averaging 0.05 at the species level. As revealed by the results of AMOVA analysis, 58.8% of the genetic differentiation occurred between populations, and 41.2% within populations. The genetic differentiation was, perhaps, due to the limited gene flow (N _m=0.43) of the species. The correlation coefficient (r) between genetic and geographical distance using Mantel's test for all populations was 0.698 (P=0.014). The UPGMA cluster analysis revealed a similar result in that the genetic distances among the populations show, to a certain extent, a spatial pattern corresponding to their geographic locations. On the basis of the genetic and ecological information, we propose some appropriate strategies for conserving the endangered S. hexandrum in this region.     

An AFLP clock for absolute dating of shallow‐time evolutionary history – too good to be true?

A major drawback of Amplified Fragment Length Polymorphisms (AFLP) as genetic makers for phylogeographic studies is their lack of a temporal dimension. In a recent publication in Molecular Ecology, Kropf et al. (2009) proposed a molecular clock for AFLP. In this comment we evaluate the proposed approach both theoretically and empirically. A linear increase with time is a prerequisite to use a genetic distance as molecular clock. Testing the relationship between genetic distance and time in the data of Kropf et al. (2009) for linearity revealed that the relationship was in fact not linear for their pooled data, as well as for one of the three species analyzed. Also, the relationship was not linear in two new species, where divergence times could be inferred from macrofossils. When applying the proposed molecular clock to data from eight species, dates obtained were plausible in some cases, but very improbable in others. The suggested genetic distance was also influenced by intrapopulation genetic diversity, leading to a potential bias. In the future, investigations of AFLP mutation rates combined with phylogeographic modelling may contribute to adding a time scale to the understanding of AFLP data.     

AFLP analysis of genetic diversity and relationship among some Chinese domestic ducks and wild ducks

The amplified fragment length polymorphic (AFLP) technique was used to analyze the genome DNA polymorphism among 8 breeds of domestic ducks and 2 species of wild ducks. Nine of the 17 selected primers pairs gave reproducible polymorphic DNA amplification bands. The amplified bands ranged from 44 to 83 per primer pair. Of the 513 AFLP markers obtained, 498 were polymorphic. The proportion of polymorphic loci was 97.1%. The genetic distance (D) and similarity coefficients (GS) were calculated based on the polymorphic data. Between domestic ducks D ranged from 0.331 to 0.589, while between domestic ducks and the wild ducks, it ranged from 0.298 to 0.520 (vs. Anas Platyrhynchos) and from 0.316 to 0.522 (vs. A. Poecilorhyncha), respectively. The variance analysis showed no significant difference between the two groups of data, which indicated that both mallard and spot-billed ducks made contributions to domestic duck evolution. A dendrogram was constructed according to the D value. __________ Translated from Journal of Xiamen University (Natural Science), 2005, 44(5): 729–733 [译自: 厦门大学学报 (自然科学版), 2005, 44(5): 729–733]
