Nine populations of three species of Nephotettix (Insecta: Hemiptera) from Peninsular Malaysia were analysed for nine enzymes comprising 11 loci. Nei's ( Genetics 89, 583, 1978) genetic distance, D, between N. virescens and N. malayanus was 0.181, that between N. virescens and N. nigropictus was 0.283, and that between N. malayanus and N. nigropictus was 0.203. The genetic distance between N. nigropictus from rice plant and from the weed-grass L. hexandra at Universiti Pertanian Malaysia was 0.004 and their genetic identity was 0.996, thus indicating that this insect species feeds on both host plants. The proportion of polymorphic loci and the observed heterozygosities were higher in N. nigropictus, with a wider range of host plants, than in N. virescens and N. malayanus, restricted to rice and L. hexandra, respectively. 相似文献

Nodule samples were collected from four alder species: Alnus nepalensis, A. sibirica, A. tinctoria and A. mandshurica growing in different environments on Gaoligong Mountains, Yunnan Province of Southwest China and on Changbai Mountains, Jilin Province of Northeast China. PCR-RFLP analysis of the IGS between nifD and nifK genes was directly applied to uncultured Frankia strains in the nodules. A total of 21 restriction patterns were obtained. The Frankia population in the nodules of A. nepalensis had the highest genetic diversity among all four Frankia populations; by contrast, the population in the nodules of A. mandshurica had the lowest degree of divergence; the ones in the nodules of A. sibirica and A. tinctoria were intermediate. A dendrogram, which was constructed based on the genetic distance between the restriction patterns, indicated that Frankia strains from A. sibirica and A. tinctoria had a close genetic relationship. Frankia strains from A. nepalensis might be the ancestor of Frankia strains infecting other Alnus species. From these results and the inference of the ages of Alnus host species, it is deduced that there was a co-evolution between Alnus and its microsymbiont Frankia in China. 相似文献

The murine polycystic kidney disease gene, pcy, is an autosomal recessive trait located on chromosome 9. To determine the genetic locus of pcy, 222 intraspecific backcross mice were obtained by mating C57BL/6FG- pcy and Mus molossinus. Restriction fragment length polymorphism analysis of 70 of the 222 backcross progeny showed that pcy, dilute coat color ( d), and cholecystokinin ( Cck) were located in the order d—pcy—Cck from the centromere. Simple sequence repeat length polymorphism analysis of DNA of all 222 backcross mice was carried out using four markers which were located near the central regions of d and Cck. One and eight recombinations were detected between D9Mit24 and pcy and between D9Mit16 and pcy, respectively. However, no recombinant was observed among pcy, D9Mit14, and D9Mit148. These findings strongly suggest that D9Mit14 and D9Mit148 are located near the pcy gene and are good markers for chromosomal walking to this gene. 相似文献

Five species of Annona and one species from Artabotrys, Cananga, Polyalthia, and Rollinia were investigated in regard to 11 different allozyme loci. Preliminary studies on small population samples of Annona suggest genetic uniformity in three species and variability within and between populations in two other species. The allotetraploid origin of A. glabra is clearly shown by its hybrid enzyme bands. The genetic distance between five Annona species partly corresponds with their morphological relationships; only A. muricata appears more separated than is suggested by morphology. A comparison of the five genera demonstrates close relationship between Annona and Rollinia. Two enzyme loci are identical within all taxa investigated and possibly may serve as a genetic marker for the family. 相似文献

Restriction endonuclease-digested mitochondrial DNA from 29 Pythium spp. showed distinctly different species-specific electrophoretic banding patterns. Numerical comparisons among species were conducted by calculating the percentage of restriction fragments having the same apparent molecular size. The greatest interspecific similarity in banding patterns (67%) was observed between HindIII digests of Pythium heterothallicum and P. sylvaticum. However, comparisons among other species generally revealed similarities of less than 50%, and often less than 30%. The lack of similarity of restriction banding patterns was observed even with several species that share many common morphological features: P. arrhenomanes vs P. graminicola (20%), P. myriotylum vs P. aristosporum (28%), and P. torulosum vs P. vanterpoolii (32%). In contrast to the fragment size heterogeneity among different species, isolates of the same species have highly conserved restriction patterns. Ten isolates of P. oligandrum, collected from the United States, South Africa, and Czechoslovakia, had a minimum of 86% similarity in HindIII banding patterns. Similar results were observed with eight isolates of P. ultimum, five of P. acanthicum, six of P. spinosum, five of P. sylvaticum, and eight of P. irregulare. However, two isolates of P. irregulare exhibited a higher degree of heterogeneity and shared only 64 to 76% comigrating bands with the eight other isolates of this species. 相似文献

Morphological, cytological, and paper Chromatographic studies of populations from northern Michigan and examination of herbarium specimens from throughout North America were used to clarify the relationships of Goodyera oblongifolia, G. repens var. ophioides, and G. tesselata. A canonical analysis of morphological data from mixed populations of these three species depicts G. tesselata as intermediate between G. oblongifolia and G. repens var. ophioides. The latter two species are diploid (2n = 30) and G. tesselata is tetraploid (2n = 60). Triploids (2n = ca. 45) were found in two mixed-species populations in northern Michigan. Goodyera tesselata produces three phenolic compounds present in G. oblongifolia and five different compounds present in G. repens var. ophioides. The range of G. tesselata is confined to glaciated territory (except for two stations) in northeastern North America where the postglacially produced ranges of G. oblongifolia and G. repens var. ophioides overlap. However, G. tesselata is quite abundant in areas outside the region of sympatry of the other two species. Based on this evidence, it is postulated that G. tesselata is an allotetraploid species which resulted from hybridization between G. oblongifolia and G. repens var. ophioides during early post-Pleistocene. The slightly earlier blooming season of G. tesselata may have been selected for to provide a measure of reproductive isolation between the tetraploid and its parents and to adapt the new species to the rather short growing season of northeastern North America. 相似文献

A new hybrid palm, × Attabignya minarum, from the Rio São Francisco Valley of Minas Gerais, Brazil is described. It is a natural hybrid between Attalea compta Mart. and Orbignya oleifera Burret and is quite common in the area studied. Most of the morphological characters of the hybrid are intermediate between those of the parent species. A notable exception is the number of fruits produced; × Attabignya minarum produces more fruits per panicle than either parent species. This is the first report of hybridization between Orbignya and Attalea and may shed light on the status of Orbignya, considered by some to be synonymous with Attalea. 相似文献

The seed proteins of Trigonella foenum-graecum, T. berythaea, T. macrorrhyncha and T. gladiata were fractionated on polyacrylamide gels in anodic and cathodic systems. Similarity indices between the profiles of any two species indicated close affinity between T. gladiata and T. macrorrhyncha and between T. foenum-graecum and T. berythaea. It has been pointed out that according to morphological resemblance and similarity index of the seed protein profile T. berythaea is closer to the cultigen than any other species of section Foenum-graecum, but these two species are strongly isolated from one another by the albino seedlings of their F 1 hybrids. 相似文献

The postcanine dentition of Callithrix geoffroyi, Callithrix penicillata, and Callithrix kuhli was compared metrically to determine whether C. kuhli is a hybrid population of C. geoffroyi and C. penicillata or not. Many measurements showed significant differences ( p<0.01 or p<0.05) among the three marmosets. The dental variability in C. kuhli was not greater than those in C. geoffroyi and C. penicillata. Based on canonical analysis, the three marmosets are discriminated, and C. kuhli did not occupy a middle position between C. geoffroyi and C. penicillata on the first two canonical axes. In the projection of the first two principal components, C. penicillata tended to be distinguished from C. geoffroyi and C. kuhli, and C. kuhli does not exhibit intermediacy between C. geoffroyi and C. penicillata. The present statistical analysis failed to provide evidence that C. kuhli constitutes a population hybridized from C. geoffroyi and C. penicillata, although the three marmosets were discriminated from each other. This may provide support for the hypothesis that C. kuhli is not a hybrid population of C. geoffroyi and C. penicillata but a distinct species. 相似文献

To reveal the genetic mechanism of host selection in a monophagous fruit fly Drosophila sechellia, olfactory responses and oviposition preferences of this species were compared with those of closely related polyphagous species, D. simulans and D. melanogaster. Adult flies of D. sechellia were strongly attracted to the ripe fruit of Morinda citrifolia which is known to be the sole breeding site of this species. They were also attracted to the odor of n-caproic acid which is contained in the ripe fruit of M. citrifolia and is presumably responsible for the characteristic odor of the fruit. In contrast, D. simulans and D. melanogaster showed a strong repulsion to n-caproic acid. In parallel with the olfactory responses, D. sechellia females laid eggs preferentially on a medium containing n-caproic acid, to which the other two species showed an aversion. Genetic analyses using the hybrid progeny between D. sechellia and D. simulans suggested that the species differences in these behaviors are controlled by gene(s) located on the second chromosome. 相似文献

Twenty morphological characters of thirty species of Cercospora, collected in the Sudan, were used for a quantitative numerical classification. This revealed, 80% overall similarity between C. arisaemae on Abutilon sp. and C. gossypina on Gossypium hirsutum, 75% overall similarity between C. cucurbitae on Cucumis sativus and C. sesami on Sesamum orientale and 75% overall similarity between C. gomphrenae on Gomphrena globosa and C. coffeicola on Coffea robusta.This high level of morphological similarity suggests that these species may be conspecific and may cross — infect their respective hosts. Other species seemed to be fairly distinct.Formed part of M. Sc. Thesis submitted to Khartoum University. 相似文献

A karyotypic study on a subspecies of the dusky titi, Callicebus moloch brunneus, was carried out and a third karyotype of C. moloch was discovered. The chromosome number of this subspecies is 48. The autosomes consist of 5 subtelocentric, 5 submeta- or
metacentric, and 13 acrocentric chromosome pairs. The X chromosome and the Y chromosome are submetacentric and metacentric,
respectively.
A comparative study with other subspecies of the C. moloch group (i.e., C. m. cupreus and C. m. ornatus with 2n=46 and C. m. donacophilus with 2n=50) suggests that the karyotype of brunneus occupies a position intermediate between the two other karyotypes of C. moloch, but nearer to that of 2n=50. The presumed total differences between brunneus and cupreus comprise one Robertsonian rearrangement, one centromeric transposition and four pericentric inversions, and those between brunneus and donacophilus involve one translocation or breakage (possibly corresponding to two events, that is, one Robertsonian rearrangement and
one centromeric transposition). 相似文献

This paper presents evidence which leads the authors to propose the reduction of Coreopsis cardaminefolia (DC.) Nutt. to synonymy under C. tinctoria Nutt. Coreopsis cardaminejolia and C. tinctoria overlap morphologically in all characters measured, except for winging vs. non-winging of the achenes. The winging character is shown to be dependent upon segregation at one or two loci. Both “species” have chromosome numbers of 2n = 24 and 2n = 26. The basic number is x = 12, with some plants showing a supernumerary pair of chromosomes, which apparently undergo post-meiotic preferential distribution on both the maternal and paternal sides. The two taxa overlap extensively in range and occupy the same habitat, rather commonly occurring in mixed colonies. Coreopsis tinctoria is redefined to include the intrapopulational variation heretofore designated C. cardaminefolia. 相似文献

Data are presented on genetic variation at 27 enzyme loci of the Green-Winged orchid, Orchis morio, in 18 population samples from Italy. The existence in Italy of two subspecies, i.e. subspp. morio and picta, is not supported by allozyme data. No genetic heterogeneity was found between morio-like and picta-like samples and specimens. Moreover, morphological transition between the two forms was observed in different Italian populations. The parameters of genetic variability estimated for O. morio populations are consistent with those found among monocotyledon plants, and among those outcrossing, animal-pollinated and with wind-dispersed seeds. Genetic diversity of Italian O. morio is mostly within populations. Correspondingly, low values of interpopulational genetic distance were found. This appears to be due to high levels of gene flow, which were estimated with different methods. The lack of O. longicornu from Italian samples, as well as of any hybrid with O. morio (F 1, backcrossed or recombinant individuals) is demonstrated on the basis of genetic data. It is concluded that recurrent reports of O. longicornu from Italy are due to confusion with O. morio or with other Orchis species. 相似文献

Larvae and adults of Camallanus anabantis and C. kulasirii, recovered from the West Bengali freshwater fishes, Anabas testudineus and Ophicephalus punctatus, respectively, are described on the basis of detailed morphological studies under the light microscope. Larval forms collected from A. testudineus are deemed to be of the third and fourth stages when compared with those from experimental studies of the life cycle of C. anabantis. Moreover, the present fourth stage female larvae are similar to the females of C. pearsei, both morphologically and metrically. C. pearsei is, therefore, believed to represent the fourth stage female larvae of C. anabantis. Similarly, adult males and females recovered from O. punctatus closely resemble C. kulasirii and C. fernandoi, respectively. The larval forms from this host are fourth stage and can be distinguished as males and females, but both possess a buccal capsule bearing beaded longitudinal ridges similar to that of adult males. The late fourth stage (just prior to the final moult) female larva is, however, found to possess a buccal capsule transitional between that of the adult male and female and also between C. kulasirii and C. fernandoi. C. fernandoi is, therefore, presumed to represent the females of C. kulasirii. However, C. pearsei and C. fernandoi are regarded, for the present, as species inquirendae. 相似文献

Although the genetic polymorphism of the alcohol-metabolizing enzymes was extensively studied at the molecular level by many investigators, the genetic polymorphism studies for ethanolmetabolizing enzymes in Mongolians are very rare. The present study was therefore performed to determine the genetic distribution of various forms of alcohol-metabolizing enzymes such as alcohol dehydrogenase 2 (ADH2, currently accepted nomenclature ADH1B), ADH3 (ADH1C), aldehyde dehydrogenase 2 (ALDH2) and cytochrome P4502E1 (CYP2E1) in 300 healthy Mongolian males. Genetic polymorphisms were determined by polymerase chain reaction (PCR)-restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) methods. The allele frequencies of ADH2 *1 and ADH2 *2 were 0.24 and 0.76; ADH3 *1 and ADH3 *2 were 0.92 and 0.08; ALDH2 *1 and ALDH2 *2 were 0.96 and 0.04; and CYP2E1 *C and CYP2E1 *D were 0.15 and 0.85, respectively. Compared to the results reported by other investigators, the allele frequencies of ALDH2 *2 and CYP2E1 *C among Mongolian subjects were much lower than among East Asians (Korean, Japanese, and/or Han-Chinese), while those of ADH2 and ADH3 were more similar. Interestingly, this study shows that the ineffective ALDH2 gene ( ALDH2*2 allele) among Mongolians is not as common as among East Asians. 相似文献

Examination of leaf flavonoids of all taxa of Coreopsis section Palmatae revealed that most members synthesize an array of common flavone (mostly luteolin and apigenin) glycosides. Each diploid species or diploid member of a species is characterized by a particular ensemble of compounds. These taxa include C. major, C. verticillata, C. pulchra, C. palmata, and C. tripteris. The latter species differs from all other taxa in producing flavonol (kaempferol and quercetin) glycosides and what appear to be 6-oxygenated compounds. Tetraploids of C. verticillata exhibit the same flavonoids as diploid members of the species, thus flavonoid chemistry supports the hypothesis that they originated from diploids within the species. Certain populations of hexaploid and octoploid C. major are similar chemically to diploids, suggesting they also originated as intraspeciflc polyploids. Other populations of these polyploids exhibit a flavonoid profile which differs from the profile of the diploids, and this profile is nearly identical to the octoploid Coreopsis × delphinifolia. The latter taxon has been viewed by Smith (1976) and Mueller (1974) as an interspecific hybrid between C. verticillata and C. major and/or C. tripteris. Species-specific compounds from the former species occur in C. × delphinifolia but no compounds unique to either of the latter two species are discernable. Flavonoid chemistry is not useful in ascertaining whether either or both species have been involved with C. verticillata in producing plants referable to C. × delphinifolia. There is morphological intergradation between octoploid C. major and C. × delphinifolia, and all plants not appearing to be “pure” C. major exhibit a flavonoid chemistry like C. × delphinifolia. All plants of section Palmatae considered to be alloploids (including C. × delphinifolia) produce the same array of leaf flavonoids, including several “novel” compounds not expressed in the putative parental taxa. Two of the “novel” flavonoids are present in the geographically restricted diploid C. pulchra. The systematic and phylogentic significance of this is not readily apparent. 相似文献

Genetic differentiation was examined between Adiantum capillus-veneris L. and A. ogasawarense Tagawa. A total of 136 individuals from two populations of A. ogasawarense and three populations of A. capillus-veneris were sampled. Allozymes encoded by 19 putative loci for nine enzyme systems were observed. The populations of A. ogasawarense are genetically differentiated from those of A. capillus-veneris; conspecific populations cluster together. However, genetic identity between two species was estimated to be 0.815, and indicates
that the degree of allozyme differentiation is lower than those between endemic flowering plants and their progenitors. It
is possible that the low genetic differentiation observed between A. ogasawarense and A. capillus-veneris results from a recent origin of the endemic species, A. ogasawarense. 相似文献
