Genetic diversity analysis of Zingiber Officinale Roscoe by RAPD collected from subcontinent of India

The present investigation was undertaken for the assessment of 12 accessions of Zingiber officinale Rosc. collected from subcontinent of India by RAPD markers. DNA was isolated using CTAB method. Thirteen out of twenty primers screened were informative and produced 275 amplification products, among which 261 products (94.90%) were found to be polymorphic. The percentage polymorphism of all 12 accessions ranged from 88.23% to 100%. Most of the RAPD markers studied showed different levels of genetic polymorphism. The data of 275 RAPD bands were used to generate Jaccard’s similarity coefficients and to construct a dendrogram by means of UPGMA. Results showed that ginger undergoes genetic variation due to a wide range of ecological conditions. This investigation was an understanding of genetic variation within the accessions. It will also provide an important input into determining resourceful management strategies and help to breeders for ginger improvement program.     

Relationships among <Emphasis Type="Italic">Leymus</Emphasis> species assessed by RAPD markers

The DNA genetic diversity of 40 accessions of genus Leymus was analyzed by random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) markers. A total of 352 products were amplified by 34 10-mer arbitrary primers, among which 337 products (95.74 %) were found to be polymorphic. 5–14 polymorphic bands were amplified by each polymorphic primer, with an average of 9.91 bands. The data of 352 RAPD bands were used to generate Jaccard’s similarity coefficients and to construct a dendrogram by means of UPGMA. Great genetic diversity in genus Leymus was observed, the genetic diversity among the different species more abundant than that of the different accessions, and the different accessions in a species or the species from the same areas were clustered together.     

Genetic distance detected with RAPD markers among selected Australian commercial varieties and boron-tolerant exotic germplasm of pea (Pisum sativum L.)

The optimisation of polymerase chain reaction (PCR) for random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) analysis in pea was investigated and the results were applied to an analysis of five representative Australian varieties and five selected boron-tolerant accessions derived from different geographical regions. Genotypes were compared using 34 random primers (Operon Technologies, Alameda, CA) which generated 180 polymorphic bands. Genetic similarity among genotypes was estimated on the basis of the percentage of common bands between genotypes and a dendrogram was constructed by the unweighted pair grouping method. A pattern of RAPD reaction corresponding to two main groups was discerned. The genetic divergence between Australian varieties and the boron-tolerant accessions suggests an intensive back-crossing programme would be required to transfer boron tolerance to a locally adapted genetic background. Our results show RAPD to be useful for clarifying phylogenic relationships within a species and also to provide useful genetic markers for varietal identification in pea.

利用RAPD标记对19份西藏近缘野生大麦材料、33份我国不同省市的地方品种以及8份国外引进大麦品种共60份大麦种质资源的遗传多样性进行检测.结果表明材料间遗传差异明显.32个RAPD引物中,有25个引物(占78.13%)可扩增出清晰且具多态性的条带,另外7个引物能扩增出1～3条清晰但无多态性的条带.每个引物可扩增出1～8条多态性带,平均为3.72条.32个引物共产生119条DNA片段,其中87条具有多态性,多态性比率(PPB)为73.11%,平均多态信息量(PIC)为0.434;每个位点平均有效等位基因数(Ne)为2.304;材料间遗传相似系数GS变化范围为0.757～0.981,平均值为0.871.19份来源于西藏的近缘野生大麦材料间GS值变幅为0.818～0.969,平均为0.892;33份我国栽培大麦地方品种间的GS值变化范围为0.783～0.981,平均为0.879;8份分别来自8个国家的栽培大麦品种间的GS值变幅为0.820～0.956,平均为0.882.根据RAPD标记分析的结果,对60份大麦种质资源进行聚类分析,在平均GS值0.871水平上60份大麦材料可聚为5类,聚类结果能在一定程度上反应材料的地理分布关系,但某些相同地理来源的材料也较分散地分布在整个聚类树中.本研究从分子水平上进一步证明了我国栽培大麦丰富的遗传多样性,是世界栽培大麦的遗传多样性中心之一.     

Genetic Relatedness among Lansium domesticum Accessions Using RAPD Markers

Genetic relatedness among 85 Lansium domesticum Corr. accessionsfrom Peninsular Malaysia were investigated using random amplifiedpolymorphic DNA (RAPD) markers. Ten primers were used for amplificationand yielded a total of 113 bands, of which 107 were polymorphic.Homology tests showed that the RAPD bands used in the studysatisfy assumptions of homology and non-allelic behaviour. Adendrogram showing genetic similarities among accessions wasconstructed based on the 107 polymorphic bands using UPGMA clusteranalysis. Jaccard similarity coefficients ranged from 0.25 to1.00 among accessions indicating a diverse genepool in the speciesindicative of different species parentage. The dendrogram separatedthe 85 accessions into three main clusters, one comprising 56accessions which possess thin-skinned fruit (mostly Dokong andLangsat), while the second has 28 accessions (mostly Duku-langsat,Duku Terengganu and Duku Johor) with thick fruit skin and thethird comprising only one accession, namely Duku hutan. Thus,RAPD analysis was a useful tool for determining the geneticrelatedness among accessions and identifying different typesof L. domesticum.

Estimation of genetic distance based on RAPDs between 11 cotton accessions varying in heat tolerance

The genetic distance of 11 cotton genotypes varying in heat tolerance was studied using RAPD markers. Fifty-three random decamer primers were used for the estimation of genetic distance. Among the 53 RAPD primers, which were custom synthesized by GeneLink Inc., UK, 32 were polymorphic and 21 were monomorphic. The 32 polymorphic primers produced 273 fragments, with a mean of 8.3 fragments per primer. The number of polymorphic bands produced in the 11 cotton accessions ranged from 1 to 31. Primer GLC-20 produced 31 polymorphic bands, while two primers, GLB-5 and GLC-12, produced one polymorphic band each. A range of 88.89 to 42.48% genetic similarity was observed among the 11 cotton accessions. The highest genetic similarity was observed between FH-945 and BH-160 (88.89%), whereas the lowest value was found between NIAB-801/2 and FH-945 (42.48%). Unique amplification profiles were produced by most of the cultivars; the differences were sufficient to distinguish them from other genotypes. This confirms the efficacy of RAPD markers for the identification of plant genotypes. An accumulative analysis of amplified products generated by RAPDs was sufficient to assess the genetic diversity among the genotypes. This information should be helpful for formulating breeding and genome mapping programs.     

用RAPD和ISSR检测的橡胶树野生种质和栽培品种的遗传多样性

用19个RAPD引物和12个ISSR引物对14份野牛橡胶树种质和我国的37份栽培品种进行了遗传多样性分析。RAPD引物共产生132条带,多态性带占88．6％,相似系数变化范围在0．432—0．947。ISSR引物其产生101条带,多态性带占87．1％,相似系数为0．505—0．941。平均基因杂合度分析表明野生种质比栽培品种具有较高的遗传多样性。根据UPGMA法对51份材料进行聚类分析,结果表明,ISSR分析中所有材料可分为2类：第一类为野生种质,第二类为栽培品种：而RAPD分析中野牛种质和栽培品种不能被分为明显的两人类。虽然ISSR和RAPD的聚类分析结果存在差异,但对两种方法进行的相关分析表明,他们之间仍存在极显著相关性,相关系数为0．574。品种PR107、热研217等一些栽培品种可以通过特异带在51份供试材料中被区分开。这些结果可以对橡胶树的育种上作起到一定的指导作用,同时RAPD和ISSR技术也是进行橡胶树品种鉴定和遗传多样性研究的有效手段。     

RAPD和ISSR标记对水稻化感种质资源遗传多态性的分析

运用RAPD和ISSR技术分析水稻化感种质资源的遗传多态性。从供试材料中筛选到具有多态性的RAPD引物12条,ISSR引物7条。RAPD引物共扩增到85条清晰的多态性条带,多态性条带比率为69．4％。ISSR引物共扩增到34条清晰的多态性条带,多态性条带比率为53．0％。对两种标记结果进行UPGMA聚类分析,结果极其类似,呈极显著的正相关(r=0．74)。聚类结果表明,地理位置相近的品种聚为一类。部分具有较强化感作用潜力的水稻品种亲缘关系很近,表明控制其化感作用性状的基因可能是等位的相同基因。而部分化感作用潜力差异显著的水稻品种聚为一类,这是由于人类在长期高产品种的定向选择过程中,水稻化感作用性状不被注意而丢失,遗传基础日益狭窄的原因。     

Assessment of genetic variation within Indian mustard (Brassica juncea) germplasm using random amplified polymorphic DNA markers

Genetic diversity among 45 Indian mustard (Brassica Juncea L.) genotypes comprising 37 germplasm collections, five advance breeding lines and three improved cultivars was investigated at the DNA level using the random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) technique. Fifteen primers used generated a total of 92 RAPD fragments, of which 81 (88%) were polymorphic. Of these, 13 were unique to accession 'Pak85559'. Each primer produced four to nine amplified products with an average of 6.13 bands per primer. Based on pairwise comparisons of RAPD amplification products, Nei and Li's similarity coefficients were calculated to evaluate the relationships among the accessions. Pairwise similarity indices were higher among the oilseed accessions and cultivars showing narrow ranges of 0.77-0.99. An unweighted pair-group method with arithmetic averages cluster analysis based on these genetic similarities placed most of the collections and oilseed cultivars close to each other, showing a low level of polymorphism between the accessions used. However, the clusters formed by oilseed collections and cultivars were comparatively distinct from that of advanced breeding lines. Genetically, all of the accessions were classified into a few major groups and a number of individual accessions. Advanced breeding lines were relatively divergent from the rest of the accessions and formed independent clusters. Clustering of the accessions did not show any pattern of association between the RAPD markers and the collection sites. A low level of genetic variability of oilseed mustard was attributed to the selection for similar traits and horticultural uses. Perhaps close parentage of these accessions further contributed towards their little diversity. The study demonstrated that RAPD is a simple and fast technique to compare the genetic relationship and pattern of variation among the gene pool of this crop.     

Identification of cultivars and validation of genetic relationships in Mangifera indica L. using RAPD markers

Twenty-five accessions of mango were examined for random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) genetic markers with 80 10-mer random primers. Of the 80 primers screened, 33 did not amplify, 19 were monomorphic, and 28 gave reproducible, polymorphic DNA amplification patterns. Eleven primers were selected from the 28 for the study. The number of bands generated was primer- and genotype-dependent, and ranged from 1 to 10. No primer gave unique banding patterns for each of the 25 accessions; however, ten different combinations of 2 primer banding patterns produced unique fingerprints for each accession. A maternal half-sib (MHS) family was included among the 25 accessions to see if genetic relationships could be detected. RAPD data were used to generate simple matching coefficients, which were analyzed phenetically and by means of principal coordinate analysis (PCA). The MHS clustered together in both the phenetic and the PCA while the randomly selected accessions were scattered with no apparent pattern. The uses of RAPD analysis for Mangifera germ plasm classification and clonal identification are discussed.     

DNA polymorphism in various goose lines by RAPD-PCR

RAPD markers often primers were used to assess the polymorphism among pooled DNA of eight goose lines. The number of bands amplified by each primer ranged from 1 to 8, within a mean of 2.86. Some bands appeared specific for the line or genetic background. RAPD technique is an effective method for generating the polymorphic DNA marker in the goose. RAPD patterns from mixed DNA samples can reflect the genetic information of populations. The present study indicated that 10 generations selected for egg production and body weight under various pressure, resulted in genetic variation among goose lines as detected by RAPD. Selection for meat traits caused greater genetic diversity than selection for egg production.     

Deciphering genetic diversity analysis of saffron (Crocus sativus L.) using RAPD and ISSR markers

The existence of genetic diversity in Crocus sativus has globally remained a mystery till date. The study investigated PCR based DNA amplification profile of saffron using ISSR and RAPD based primers. A total of 38 amplicons were generated by ISSR primers in the range from 7 to 12 with an average of 9.50 bands per primer. 20 bands were found to be polymorphic and 18 were monomorphic with an average percentage of polymorphism as 52.48%. RAPD based amplification revealed a total 161 amplicons, 107 as polymorphic and 54 as monomorphic with an average percentage of polymorphism as 66.44%. Cumulative results of RAPD and ISSR demonstrated that Nei-Li’s similarity index ranged between 0.70 and 0.97. The results of AMOVA has revealed 9% of variance among populations and 91% of variance within populations, Φ PT was found as 0.089, which indicates existence of genetic differences though limited. In conclusion, the results indicate that saffron accessions are minimally genetically differentiated, which could be capitalized in future breeding programmes to ameliorate this precious crop.     

中国食用向日葵种质资源遗传变异的RAPD及AFLP分析

本研究采用RAPD和AFLP方法对23个中国不同地区的食用向日葵（Helianthus annuus L.)骨干品种进行了遗传变异分析,同时对两种标记系统进行了比较。26个RAPD引物产生了总计192条DNA条带,大小分布 于0.26kb-1.98kb之间,其中165条（86．12％）具有多态性,每条引物产生DNA条带的平均数为7．38。8对AFLP引物组合共产生了576条带,分布于100bp-500bp之间,其中的341条具有多态性,多态百分率为76．00％,每对引物组合产生DNA条带的平均数为72。RAPD方法检测的每位点有效等位基因数（1．76）大于AFLP（1．65）,AFLP标记位点的平均多态性信息量（PIC）（0．38）低于RAPD标记位点PIC（0．41）,但AFLP标记具有很高的多态性检测效率（Ai=38．52）。用RAPD标记分析23个食用向日葵材料的亲缘关系,Nei氏相似性系数分布在47．84％－82．06％,平均相似性系数为0．6495,而采用AFLP的Nei氏相似性系数分布在54．15％－83．52％,平均相似性系数为0．6884。RAPD数据的标准差为0．13,而AFLP数据的标准差为0．08。因此,采用RAPD和AFLP方法分析食用向日葵遗传变异,RAPD标记具有较低相似性系数和较高方差而AFLP则相反。源于两种不同标记的遗传相似矩阵的相关系数为0．51,说明采用RAPD和AFLP系统分析食用向日葵遗传变异得到的结果有一定的相关性,无论采用RAPD还是AFLP标记进行聚类分析,都将23个不同基因型的食用向日葵材料分成了三个类群。     

Comparative Evaluation of RAPD and AFLP Based Genetic Diversity in Brinjal (Solanum melongena)

The present investigation was carried out with an objective of evaluating genetic diversity in brinjal (Solanum melongena) using DNA markers. A total of 38 brinjal accessions including one wild-species, Solanum sisymbrifolium were characterized using random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAP D) and amplified fragment length polymorphism (AFLP) techniques. Out of 45 primers employed to generate RAPD profiles, reproducible patterns were obtained with 32 primers and 30 (93.7%) of these detected polymorphism. A total of 149 bands were obtained, out of which 108 (72.4%) were polymorphic. AFLP analysis was carried out using four primer combinations. Each of these primers was highly polymorphic. Out of 253 fragments amplified from these four primer combinations, 237 (93.6%) were polymorphic. The extent of pair-wise similarity ranged from 0.264 to 0.946 with a mean of 0.787 in RAPD, in contrast to a range of 0.103 to 0.847 with a mean of 0.434 in AFLP. The wild species clustered separately from the brinjal genotypes. In the dendrogram constructed separately using RAPD and AFLP markers, the brinjal genotypes were grouped into clusters and sub-clusters, and the varieties released by IARI remained together on both the dendrograms. All the 30 RAPD primers in combination and each of the four primer pairs in AFLP could distinguish the brinjal accessions from each other. AFLP was thus found to be more efficient than RAPD in estimation of genetic diversity and differentiation of varieties in brinjal.

Analysis of genetic variability in two diploid <Emphasis Type="Italic">Musa</Emphasis> cultivars using RAPD

Twenty accessions of the sparsely cultivated diploid Musa cultivars Matti (AA) and Rasakadali (AB) were subjected to random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) assay. A total of 14 random primers were used for the estimation of interand intracultivar variations. Out of 86 bands generated, 64 were polymorphic (74.4 % polymorphism). The cluster analysis grouped the cultivars into two major clusters: cluster I with 10 accessions of Matti and 2 of Rasakadali and cluster II comprising the remaining 8 accessions of Rasakadali. The coefficient of genetic similarity (GS) was from 0.73 to 0.99, suggesting low level of intercultivar variation. The accessions of Rasakadali with mean GS of 0.89 were genetically more diverse than those of Matti (GS = 0.93).     

Applicability of inter-simple sequence repeat polymorphisms in wheat for use as DNA markers in comparison to RFLP and RAPD markers

 Inter-simple sequence repeat polymorphic DNA (ISSR) was evaluated for its applicability as a genetic marker system in wheat. PCR was carried out with primers that annealed to simple sequence repeats. The resultant products were subjected to agarose-gel electrophoresis, and the banding patterns were compared among six wheat accessions containing diploid, tetraploid, and hexaploid members. Out of 100 examined, 33 primers produced distinguishable as well as polymorphic bands in each of the six accessions. Although most of the primers that gave distinct bands (30 primers out of 33) contained dinucleotide repeats, each of the primers with tri-, tetra-, and penta-nucleotide motifs also yielded discrete bands. Primers based on (AC)_n repeats gave the most polymorphic bands. In total, 224 polymorphic bands were found in the comparison between Einkorn wheats whereas, on the average, 120 polymorphic bands were detected between common wheats. ISSR primers produced several times more information than RAPD markers. The extent of band polymorphism was similar to that of RFLP markers, and greater than that of RAPDs. The genetic relationships of wheat accessions estimated by the polymorphism of ISSR markers were identical with those inferred by RFLP and RAPD markers, indicating the reliability of ISSR markers for estimation of genotypes. These polymorphic bands are potential candidates as novel markers for use in linkage-map construction in wheat. The characteristic features of ISSR markers, i.e. polymorphism, generation of information and ease of handling, suggest their applicability to the analysis of genotypes as well as to the construction of PCR-based genome maps of wheats.

Genetic variation of the genus Kengyilia by ISSR markers

We investigated the genetic variation within 32 accessions distributed to 14 species and one variety by using ISSR (inter-simple sequence repeat) markers. The results showed that genetic variation was relatively higher among the accessions. A total of 593 bands were amplified by 12 ISSR primers, of which 535 bands (90.2%) were polymorphic. Eleven to 80 polymorphic bands were amplified from each prime, with an average of 44.6 bands. The interspecies GS (genetic similarity) value ranged from 0.430 to 0.866, and the average was 0.620. Cluster analysis showed that all accessions could be classified into 4 groups by ISSR markers. The different accessions in a species were clustered together, but they had genetic variation in molecular levels. There was obvious interspecies genetic variation. Species with similar morphological characteristics and from the same areas or neighboring geographical regions were clustered together and had close relationships. ISSR markers are useful in analyzing interspecies variation in Kengyilia. __________ Translated from Guihaia, 2006, 26 (4): 375–380 [译自: 广西植物]
