我国棉花种质资源研究现状及发展方向

棉花种质资源研究是一项基础性研究,最终目的是为育种者提供遗传多样性丰富的亲本材料.建国以来,我国在棉花种质资源收集方面取得了很大成绩,但几十年来用于种质资源研究的方法却举步不前,这与现代科学技术的迅速发展极不协调.根据种质资源研究现状以及当前生产需要,及时调整棉花种质资源工作的重点和方向,并将现代科学技术成果应用于种质资源研究是今后棉花种质资源研究发展的必然趋势.     

我国陆地棉基础种质遗传多样性的SSR分子标记分析

利用398对BNL、JESPR、TMB等SSR引物,对不同亲本来源、不同选育时期、不同种植生态区的43份陆地棉基础种质进行了遗传多样性的SSR分子标记分析。扩增产物用8％的非变性聚丙烯酰胺凝胶检测,银染观察并照相。遗传多样性带型分析按位点多态信息量（PIC）,Shannon-weaver多样性指数（H^＋）等方法,利用NTSYSpc2．1软件计算品种间的遗传相似系数（Jaccard系数）,并用类平均法（UPGMA）进行聚类。结果表明所选择多态性引物分布在棉花基因组的第3、4、5、8、9、10、16、18、20、23号等染色体上,36对多态性引物在基础种质中扩增等位基因130个,其中多态性等位基因占80％,每个引物扩增等位基因2～8个,平均3．6个,PIC为0．278～0．865,平均0．62,基因型多样性（H^＋）为0．451～2．039,平均1．102,基础种质问SSR遗传相似系数平均为0．610,变幅为0．409～0．865,这说明所选基础种质基因组水平的多样性较丰富,变化范围大、代表性强。按品种不同选育时期来讲,第一、二、三期基础种质的SSR分子标记平均遗传相似系数分别是0．587、0．630、0．630,说明现代基础种质比早期基础种质在基因组水平的差异呈下降的趋势,可能是由于育种者偏重于使用优质高产性状的亲本品种,致使我国棉花的育种基础逐渐变窄。不同棉区基础种质SSR标记性状差异大,北部特早熟棉区基础种质间的SSR标记的多样性大于黄河、长江棉区,主要原因是长江、黄河棉区的育种过分强调高产、优质品种选育,品种间的差异变小;基础种质中的国内品种SSR相似系数（0．624）比引进品种（0.85）高,说明国内品种在遗传多样性上目前还没有超越国外品种。总之,我国棉花现代基础种质比早期基础种质的遗传多样性呈下降的趋势,黄河、长江主产棉区基础种质的遗传多样性还没有超过国外基础种质,品种间的遗传背景较为狭窄,还必须采用多种途径丰富我国棉花种质资源的遗传多样性。

Genetic Diversity of Source Germplasm of Upland Cotton in China as Determined by SSR Marker Analysis

The genetic diversity of 43 sources of Upland cotton germplasm with different parental origins, breeding periods, and ecological growing areas in China were studied on the basis of simple sequence repeat (SSR) markers. A total of 130 gene alleles with 80% polymorphism were detected from 36 SSR primers. The number of alleles per primer ranged from two to eight with an average of 3.6. The polymorphism information content (PIC) range was 0.278-0.865, with an average of 0.62. The average genotype diversity index (H') was 1.102, the highest was 2.039 and the lowest was 0.451. The average coefficient of the genetic similarity of SSR markers among source germplasm was 0.610, ranging from 0.409 to 0.865. These indicated that the genetic diversity at the genomic level of the selected source germplasm was rich, and was representative of the diversity of the germplasms, in general. The diversity at the genome level of the base germplasm from the second and third breeding periods was decreased compared to that of the first period, indicating that the cotton genetic background in China became narrow gradually. The diversity of SSR markers among the base germplasm from early maturity cotton growing areas in the north was higher than those from the Huanghe and Yangtze growing areas. The molecular marker genetic similarity index of the domestic varieties was higher than that in the introduced varieties, which indicates that the genetic diversity in domestic cultivars was lower than that in the introduced varieties. This study gives an overview of the genetic diversity of the cotton germplasm base in China, and provides a guide for breeders to develop new cultivars efficiently.

Molecular diversity and association mapping of fiber quality traits in exotic G. hirsutum L. germplasm

The narrow genetic base of cultivated cotton germplasm is hindering the cotton productivity worldwide. Although potential genetic diversity exists in Gossypium genus, it is largely ‘underutilized’ due to photoperiodism and the lack of innovative tools to overcome such challenges. The application of linkage disequilibrium (LD)-based association mapping is an alternative powerful molecular tool to dissect and exploit the natural genetic diversity conserved within cotton germplasm collections, greatly accelerating still ‘lagging’ cotton marker-assisted selection (MAS) programs. However, the extent of genome-wide linkage disequilibrium (LD) has not been determined in cotton. We report the extent of genome-wide LD and association mapping of fiber quality traits by using a 95 core set of microsatellite markers in a total of 285 exotic Gossypium hirsutum accessions, comprising of 208 landrace stocks and 77 photoperiodic variety accessions. We demonstrated the existence of useful genetic diversity within exotic cotton germplasm. In this germplasm set, 11–12% of SSR loci pairs revealed a significant LD. At the significance threshold (r² ≥ 0.1), a genome-wide average of LD declines within the genetic distance at < 10 cM in the landrace stocks germplasm and > 30 cM in variety germplasm. Genome wide LD at r² ≥ 0.2 was reduced on average to  1–2 cM in the landrace stock germplasm and 6–8 cM in variety germplasm, providing evidence of the potential for association mapping of agronomically important traits in cotton. We observed significant population structure and relatedness in assayed germplasm. Consequently, the application of the mixed liner model (MLM), considering both kinship (K) and population structure (Q) detected between 6% and 13% of SSR markers associated with the main fiber quality traits in cotton. Our results highlight for the first time the feasibility and potential of association mapping, with consideration of the population structure and stratification existing in cotton germplasm resources. The number of SSR markers associated with fiber quality traits in diverse cotton germplasm, which broadly covered many historical meiotic events, should be useful to effectively exploit potentially new genetic variation by using MAS programs.     

Genetic diversity analysis of Bt cotton genotypes in Pakistan using simple sequence repeat markers

The popularity of genetically modified insect resistant (Bt) cotton has promoted large scale monocultures, which is thought to worsen the problem of crop genetic homogeneity. Information on genetic diversity among Bt cotton varieties is lacking. We evaluated genetic divergence among 19 Bt cotton genotypes using simple sequence repeat (SSR) markers. Thirty-seven of 104 surveyed primers were found informative. Fifty-two primers selected on the basis of reported intra-hirsutum polymorphism in a cotton marker database showed a high degree of polymorphism, 56% compared to 13% for randomly selected primers. A total of 177 loci were amplified, with an average of 1.57 loci per primer, generating 38 markers. The amplicons ranged in size from 98 to 256 bp. The genetic similarities among the 19 genotypes ranged from 0.902 to 0.982, with an average of 0.947, revealing a lack of diversity. Similarities among genotypes from public sector organizations were higher than genotypes developed by private companies. Hybrids were found to be more distant compared to commercial cultivars and advanced breeding lines. Cluster analysis grouped the 19 Bt cotton genotypes into three major clusters and two independent entries. Cultivars IR-3701, Ali Akbar-802 and advanced breeding line VH-259 grouped in subcluster B2, with very narrow genetic distances despite dissimilar parentage. We found a very high level of similarity among Pakistani-bred Bt cotton varieties, which means that genetically diverse recurrent parents should be included to enhance genetic diversity. The intra-hirsutum polymorphic SSRs were found to be highly informative for molecular genetic diversity studies in these cotton varieties.     

Diversity of North European oat analyzed by SSR, AFLP and DArT markers

Oat is an important crop in Nordic countries both for feed and human consumption. Maintaining a high level of genetic diversity is essential for both breeding and agronomy. A panel of 94 oat accessions was used in this study, including 24 museum accessions over 100- to 120-year old and 70 genebank accessions from mainly Nordic countries and Germany, covering different breeding periods. Sixty-one polymorphic SSR, 201 AFLP and 1056 DArT markers were used to evaluate the past and present genetic diversity of the Nordic gene pool. Norwegian accessions showed the highest diversity, followed by Swedish and Finnish, with German accessions the least diverse. In addition, the Nordic accessions appeared to be highly interrelated and distinct from the German, reflecting a frequent germplasm exchange and interbreeding among Nordic countries. A significant loss of diversity happened at the transition from landraces and old cultivars to modern cultivars. Modern oat originated from only a segment of the landraces and left the remainder, especially black oat, unused. However, no significant overall diversity reduction was found during modern breeding periods, although fluctuation of diversity indices was observed. The narrow genetic basis of the modern Nordic gene pool calls for increasing genetic diversity through cultivar introduction and prebreeding based on neglected sources like the Nordic black oat.     

Molecular characterization of global maize breeding germplasm based on genome-wide single nucleotide polymorphisms

Characterization of genetic diversity is of great value to assist breeders in parental line selection and breeding system design. We screened 770 maize inbred lines with 1,034 single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) markers and identified 449 high-quality markers with no germplasm-specific biasing effects. Pairwise comparisons across three distinct sets of germplasm, CIMMYT (394), China (282), and Brazil (94), showed that the elite lines from these diverse breeding pools have been developed with only limited utilization of genetic diversity existing in the center of origin. Temperate and tropical/subtropical germplasm clearly clustered into two separate groups. The temperate germplasm could be further divided into six groups consistent with known heterotic patterns. The greatest genetic divergence was observed between temperate and tropical/subtropical lines, followed by the divergence between yellow and white kernel lines, whereas the least divergence was observed between dent and flint lines. Long-term selection for hybrid performance has contributed to significant allele differentiation between heterotic groups at 20% of the SNP loci. There appeared to be substantial levels of genetic variation between different breeding pools as revealed by missing and unique alleles. Two SNPs developed from the same candidate gene were associated with the divergence between two opposite Chinese heterotic groups. Associated allele frequency change at two SNPs and their allele missing in Brazilian germplasm indicated a linkage disequilibrium block of 142 kb. These results confirm the power of SNP markers for diversity analysis and provide a feasible approach to unique allele discovery and use in maize breeding programs.     

High level of genetic diversity among spelt germplasm revealed by microsatellite markers.

The genetic diversity of spelt (Triticum aestivum (L.) Thell. subsp. spelta (L.) Thell.) cultivated presently is very narrow. Although the germplasm collections of spelt are extensive, the related genetic knowledge is often lacking and makes their use for genetic improvement difficult. The genetic diversity and structure of the spelt gene pool held in gene banks was determined using 19 simple sequence repeat (SSR) markers applied to 170 spelt accessions collected from 27 countries and 4 continents. The genetic distances (1 - proportion of shared alleles) were calculated and an unweighted pair-group method with arithmetic averaging (UPGMA)-based dendrogram was generated. The genetic diversity was high: 259 alleles were found and the mean interaccession genetic distance was 0.782 +/- 0.141. The dendrogram demonstrated the much higher genetic diversity of spelt held in germplasm collections than in the currently used genotypes. Accessions with the same geographical origin often tended to cluster together. Those from the Middle East were isolated first. All but one of the Spanish accessions were found in a unique subcluster. Most accessions from eastern Europe clustered together, while those from northwestern Europe were divided into two subclusters. The accessions from Africa and North America were not separated from the European ones. This analysis demonstrates the extent of genetic diversity of spelts held in germplasm collections and should help to widen the genetic basis of cultivated spelt in future breeding programs.     

Genetic Structure and Molecular Diversity of Cacao Plants Established as Local Varieties for More than Two Centuries: The Genetic History of Cacao Plantations in Bahia,Brazil

Bahia is the most important cacao-producing state in Brazil, which is currently the sixth-largest country worldwide to produce cacao seeds. In the eighteenth century, the Comum, Pará and Maranhão varieties of cacao were introduced into southern Bahia, and their descendants, which are called ‘Bahian cacao’ or local Bahian varieties, have been cultivated for over 200 years. Comum plants have been used to start plantations in African countries and extended as far as countries in South Asia and Oceania. In Brazil, two sets of clones selected from Bahian varieties and their mutants, the Agronomic Institute of East (SIAL) and Bahian Cacao Institute (SIC) series, represent the diversity of Bahian cacao in germplasm banks. Because the genetic diversity of Bahian varieties, which is essential for breeding programs, remains unknown, the objective of this work was to assess the genetic structure and diversity of local Bahian varieties collected from farms and germplasm banks. To this end, 30 simple sequence repeat (SSR) markers were used to genotype 279 cacao plants from germplasm and local farms. The results facilitated the identification of 219 cacao plants of Bahian origin, and 51 of these were SIAL or SIC clones. Bahian cacao showed low genetic diversity. It could be verified that SIC and SIAL clones do not represent the true diversity of Bahian cacao, with the greatest amount of diversity found in cacao trees on the farms. Thus, a core collection to aid in prioritizing the plants to be sampled for Bahian cacao diversity is suggested. These results provide information that can be used to conserve Bahian cacao plants and applied in breeding programs to obtain more productive Bahian cacao with superior quality and tolerance to major diseases in tropical cacao plantations worldwide.
