水稻广亲和性遗传的再研究

水稻广亲和基因的利用是克服亚种间杂种不育性的重要途径。但在广亲和性的遗传上不同研究者的结论不尽一致。以3种有广亲和品种参加的三交组合为研究材料,研究了品种Ketan Nangka的广亲和性遗传。结果表明水稻亚种杂交F1同时存在着雄性不育和雌性不育,但雄性不育对小穗育性的作用大小因组合而异;无论是在雄性不育位点还是雄性不育位点上,Ketan Nangka均具有相对应的中性基因（广亲和基因）;广亲和性的遗传特点与所用的籼粳测验品种间的杂种不育性密切相关;S－5位点的广亲和基因遗传符合单位点孢子体－配子体互作模型。     

利用RAPD 标记技术对白桦种源遗传变异的分析及种源区划

用随机扩增多态DNA(RAPD)分子标记方法对白桦17 个种源152 个个体进行了遗传变异的比较分析, 通过14 个随机引物扩增共检测到233 个位点, 各种源多态位点百分率差异明显, 范围在20.17%~32.19%之间, 多态位点百分率最高的是帽儿山种源和清源种源, 最低的是绰尔种源。遗传变异在种源间占43.53%, 在种源内个体间占56.47%。根据种源间的遗传距离, 构建了白桦17 个种源的遗传关系聚类图, 结果将东北地区的白桦聚为一类, 华北、西北地区的白桦聚为另一类。同时根据地理气候因子和遗传距离对白桦群体进行了种源区的划分。

水稻广亲和性遗传的主基因一多基因混合模型分析

籼、粳亚种间的F1一般表现为半不育,这限制了籼、粳杂种优势的利用。广亲和基因的发现及其遗传研究有助于揭示这种半不育现象的遗传本质,使克服籼、粳亚种间F1的半不育成为可能。本研究采用主基因－多基因混合遗传模型,分析了籼、粳杂交组合3037/02428的P1、P2、F1、B1、B2和F2六世代材料。研究结果显示：广亲和性的遗传除受单个主基因控制外还受多基因的影响。在利用广亲和基因克服亚种间的半不育性时不仅要考虑主基因对育性的作用,也不能忽视多基因对育性的影响。     

几个水稻株系的亲和性测定及微卫星标记分析

利用典型的籼稻南京11号、典型的粳稻秋光对16个水稻株系的亲和性进行了测定,测交结果表明,NLl73、NL15、NL61、NL67、NL82和NL279表现亲籼性,NL208表现亲粳性,NL78表现一定广亲和性,其余株系与籼、粳测验种杂交育性都不高。根据测交结果选择不同育性的株系用分布于12条染色体上的前人证明籼粳稻间有多态性的56个微卫星标记进行分析,在微卫星标记聚类分析基础上计算梗型性判别值Dj,并据此把NL173、NLl5、NL78、NL58判别为偏籼型,而NL208为偏粳型。综合亲和性测交结果和分子标记分析结果发现,在亲和性测交中表现亲籼的2个株系NL173、NL15分子标记判别为偏籼类型,杂交亲和性表现亲粳的株系NL208分子标记判断为偏粳类型,表现广亲和特性的株系NL78被分子标记判别为偏籼类型,与测验种杂交育性均不高的NL58分子标记判别为偏籼型。     

香稻资源遗传多样性的比较

利用60个水稻SSR标记, 对来自国内外的370份香稻材料的遗传多样性进行了比较分析。结果共检测到361个等位基因, 每个位点的等位基因变幅为2~10个, 平均Nei基因多样性指数(He)为0.663, 变幅为0.104(RM308)~0.885(RM2634)。籼粳亚种间的遗传多样性具有明显差异, 籼稻的等位基因数和Nei基因多样性指数均高于粳稻。地方品种的遗传多样性高于选育品种, 选育品种等位基因数仅为地方品种的86.5%。分子方差分析表明, 香稻材料中总变异的43.08%是由于亚种间的遗传差异引起的。不同稻区的遗传分化程度总体介于1.69%~14.40%之间。其中, 华南与西南、华中与西南地方品种间遗传差异的分化程度达显著水平。聚类分析将参试材料明显分为籼粳两大类, 同时地域相同(稻区)、相邻省份的香稻材料基本归为同一类群。     

籽蒿的地理分布与遗传分化

 对籽蒿(Artemisia sphaerocephala)的分布地点进行了调查,发现了籽蒿在浑善达克沙地的新分布, 绘制了籽蒿的分布图。在籽蒿集中分布的地区取了5个种群,新分布点取了一个种群,利用随机扩增多态性DNA（RAPD）方法进行了遗传分化的研究。15个引物共扩增出255条带,其中多态带232条,多态位点百分率为91%。各种群以乌海流动沙地种群最低, 多态位点百分率为66.7%, 沙坡头种群最高,多态位点百分率为83.4%。籽蒿种群间有着一定的遗传分化,遗传分化系数（Gst）为0.234 8, 表明76.52%的遗传变异存在于种群内。聚类分析显示,籽蒿种群之间的遗传距离与地理距离有着一定的相关性。而相隔很远的浑善达克沙地的锡林浩特种群与毛乌素沙地的榆林种群间的遗传距离较小,且被聚到了一起,表明两个草原区沙地籽蒿种群间的关系密切。

水稻品种SSR与PFLP及其与杂条优势的关系比较研究

用48对SSR引物和50个RFLP探针对来自6个生态型的57份水稻材料之间的遗传差异进行了比较分析,从单个位点的等位基历数和平均基因多样性看,SSR的多态性要高于RFLP,从遗传距离看,在总计1596对材料的遗传距离中,只有144对（占9％）用RFLP标记估计的遗传距离（简称GDRFLP,下同）高于用SSR标记估计的遗传距离（简称GDSSR,下同）,平均高出的幅度为0．0371,而有1452对（占91％）材料间的GDSSR高于GDRFLP,平均高出幅度为0．2492,无论是籼,粳亚种内还是灿粳亚种间,SSR标记比RFLP估计的遗传离高,如用SSR标记估计的籼稻亚种内材料之间平均遗传距离为0．5483,而RFLP标记估计的只有0．2776,粳稻亚种内SSR平均遗传距离为0．5777,RFLP的只有0．2405,用SSR和RFLP估计的亚种间的平均遗传距离分别为0．8047和0．731,成对材料的SSR遗传距离与RFLP遗传距离之间的相关分析表明,对于典型的籼粳品种,这两种标记估计的遗传距离相关系数较高,而中间型材料或偏籼偏粳材料的相关程序较低,通过分析4个两系不育系与48恢复系之间的遗传距离与F1的产量表现及杂种优势之间的相关关系得知,这两种标记估计的遗传距离与杂种表现间的相关均没有达到显著水平,而与杂种优势的相关系数中,除108s与恢复系的GDRFLP和LS2S与恢复系的GDSSR与超亲优势没有达到显著水平外,其他均达到极显著的水平。     

Recent advances in the study of Kaposi's sarcoma-associated herpesvirus replication and pathogenesis

It has now been over twenty years since a novel herpesviral genome was identified in Kaposi's sarcoma biopsies. Since then, the cumulative research effort by molecular biologists, virologists, clinicians, and epidemiologists alike has led to the extensive characterization of this tumor virus, Kaposi's sarcoma-associated herpesvirus(KSHV; also known as human herpesvirus 8(HHV-8)), and its associated diseases. Here we review the current knowledge of KSHV biology and pathogenesis, with a particular emphasis on new and exciting advances in the field of epigenetics. We also discuss the development and practicality of various cell culture and animal model systems to study KSHV replication and pathogenesis.     

The structure, reproduction and taxonomy of Vidalia and Osmundaria (Rhodophyta, Rhodomelaceae)

Comprises species occurring mostly in subtidal habitats in tropical, subtropical and warm-temperate areas of the world. An analysis of the type species, V. spiralis (Sonder) Lamouroux ex J. Agardh, a species from Australia, establishes basic characters for distinguishing species in the genus. These characters are (1) branching patterns of thalli, (2) flat blades that may be spiralled on their axis, (3) width of the blade, (4) primary or secondary derivation of sterile and fertile branchlets and (5) position of sterile and fertile branchlets on the thalli. Application of the latter two characters provides an important basic method for separation of species into three major groups. Osmundaria , a genus known only in southern Australia, was studied in relation to Vidalia , and its separation from the Vidalia assemblage is not accepted. Species of Vidalia therefore are transferred to the older genus name, Osmundaria. Two new species, Osmundaria papenfussii and Osmundaria oliveae are described from Natal. Confusion in the usage of the epithet, Vidalia fimbriala Brown ex Turner has been clarified, and Vidalia gregaria Falkenberg, described as an epiphyte on Osmundaria pro/ifera Lamouroux, is revealed to be young branches of the host, Osmundaria prolifera.     

New or rare chromosome counts in Artemisia L. (Asteraceae, Anthemideae) and related genera from Kazakhstan

Fifteen chromosome counts of six Artemisia taxa and one species of each of the genera Brachanthemum, Hippolytia, Kaschgaria, Lepidolopsis and Turaniphytum are reported from Kazakhstan. Three of them are new reports, two are not consistent with previous counts and the remainder are confirmations of very scarce (one to four) earlier records. All the populations studied have the same basic chromosome number, x = 9, with ploidy levels ranging from 2x to 6x. Some correlations between ploidy level, morphological characters and distribution are noted.

Selection with two alleles and complete dominance

For a plant selection model with frequency-independent viabilities, fertilities and selfing rates, it is shown that apart from global fixation, for certain parameter combinations a protected polymorphism and facultative fixation (either allele may become fixed according to initial frequencies) may both occur. Facultative fixation requires different selling rates for the dominant and recessive type. Protection of the polymorphism requires resource allocation for male and female function. In this connection the problem of purely genetically caused population extinction is discussed.
For general frequency dependence and regular segregation, the chances for establishment of a completely recessive gene are compared to those of a completely dominant gene. It is proven that the process of establishment of the recessive gene, despite a fitness advantage, may be considerably endangered by drift effects if random mating prevails. The recessive gene may reach the same effectivity in establishment as a dominant gene, only if the recessive homozygote mates exclusively with its own type during the period of establishment.
