A Bayesian approach to inferring population structure from dominant markers

Molecular markers derived from polymerase chain reaction (PCR) amplification of genomic DNA are an important part of the toolkit of evolutionary geneticists. Random amplified polymorphic DNA markers (RAPDs), amplified fragment length polymorphisms (AFLPs) and intersimple sequence repeat (ISSR) polymorphisms allow analysis of species for which previous DNA sequence information is lacking, but dominance makes it impossible to apply standard techniques to calculate F-statistics. We describe a Bayesian method that allows direct estimates of FST from dominant markers. In contrast to existing alternatives, we do not assume previous knowledge of the degree of within-population inbreeding. In particular, we do not assume that genotypes within populations are in Hardy-Weinberg proportions. Our estimate of FST incorporates uncertainty about the magnitude of within-population inbreeding. Simulations show that samples from even a relatively small number of loci and populations produce reliable estimates of FST. Moreover, some information about the degree of within-population inbreeding (FIS) is available from data sets with a large number of loci and populations. We illustrate the method with a reanalysis of RAPD data from 14 populations of a North American orchid, Platanthera leucophaea.

The amount of DNA was enough to apply t o genetic analysis by RAPD. Eighteen primers had stable effect. The genetic dist ances are between 30.52% and 10.18%,which showed that the relationship between 16 crested ibises was similar. This study tried to apply a non-invasive method to obtain DNA, which is helpful to research on the genetic background of creste d ibises and other tiny population based on DNA level.     

Molecular Variability of Mycosphaerella graminicola as Detected by RAPD Markers

A total of 90 isolates of Mycosphaerella graminicola, the cause of septoria tritici leaf blotch of wheat, were tested for DNA polymorphism using 15 decamer random primers. There was a high level of genetic variability among isolates. In 131 random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) fragments, which were produced, 96% were polymorphic. Based on multilocus analysis, 40 different molecular phenotypes were detected. These molecular phenotypes were randomly distributed among sampling sites, suggesting that no clonal structure existed in the population. Cluster analysis showed that the maximum similarity value among isolates was approximately 81% and no identical isolates were detected, indicating that every isolate was a unique genotype. The high degree of DNA polymorphism, the large number of different molecular phenotypes, their random distribution and the results of the cluster analysis all suggested that sexual reproduction has a major role in the genetic structure of M. graminicola in western Canada. The presence of sexual reproduction provides the opportunity for development of new virulent genotypes in the population and suggests that the pathogen may adapt rapidly to any race‐specific sources of resistance. Therefore, when breeding for resistance to M. graminicola, emphasis should be placed on use of non‐race‐specific resistance.     

Effect of Development Stage on the Artemisinin Content and the Sequence Characterized Amplified Region （SCAR） Marker of High-Artemisinin Yielding Strains of Artemisia annua L.

The effects of development states on the artemisinin content of clone S1 of Artemisia anuua L. grown in a greenhouse were investigated in the present study. The artemisinin content increased gradually during the phase of vegetative growth and reached its highest level at 8-9 mg/g dry weight （DW） when the S1 was 6 months old on a long day （LD） photoperiod. Treatment with 9-18 d of short day （SD） photoperiod resulted in the artemisinin content reaching and being maintained at a higher level （2.059-2.289 mg/g DW）, twofold that of control plants and plants of S1 presented at the pro-flower budding and flower-budding stages. The artemisinin content varied in different parts of the plant. The artemisinin content of leaves was higher than that of florets and branches. The artemisinin content in middle leaves was higher than that of bottom leaves, and then top leaves. Different densities of capitate glands （the storage organ of artemisinin） located on the surface of leaves, florets, and branches explained the variations in artemisinin content in these parts of the plant. The correlation coefficient between artemisinin content and density of capitate glands on the surface of different organs was 0.987. The genetic marker for artemisinin content was screened using random amplified polymorphic DNA （RAPD） and sequence characterized amplified region （SCAR） techniques. The random primer OPAl5 （5＇-TTCCGAACCC-3＇） could amplify a specific band of approximately 1 000 bp that was present in all high-artemisinin yielding strains, but absent in all low-yielding strains in three independent replications. This specific band was cloned and its sequence was analyzed. This RAPD marker was converted into a SCAR marker to obtain a more stable marker.     

Molecular differentiation of two morphological variants of Gracilaria salicornia

Xia in 1986 combined Gracilaria salicornia, G. canaliculata (G. crassa), G. cacalia and G. minor into one species: G.salicornia. Two morphological variants of G. salicornia were collectedfrom different localities in Malaysia. Variant A collected from Morib,Selangor grew on the roots of Avicennia. The samples showed absenceof main axis; segmented constrictions throughout; cylindrical or slightlycompressed thalli. Variant B was collected from the mudflats of TanjungTuan, growing on rocks, coral or forming mats on the mud. Plants showedabsence of main axis; segments were not constricted throughout the plant(if present only slightly articulated at the upper part), branching wasdichotomous or irregular; cylindrical or slightly compressed thalli. Thetechnique of Random Amplified Polymorphic DNA analysis (RAPD) wasused to investigate molecular characteristics of the two variants. Out ofsixty Operon primers that were screened, four primers, OPA 1, OPA 10,OPA 11 and OPK 7 were able to give polymorphism. The fingerprintsgenerated were stable and reproducible on repeated analysis. The DNAfingerprints generated were visually analysed and clustering analysis wascarried out using GelCompar 4.0. The matrix of similarities was based onthe Dice coefficients (S_D) and the cluster analysis was carried outusing the unweighted pair group method using arithmetic averages(UPGMA). DNA analysis showed that two primers (OPA 01, CAGGCCCTTC and OPK 07, AGCGAGCAAG) were able to differentiate the two variants.     

Combination of ARDRA and RAPD genotyping techniques in identification of Acinetobacter spp. genomic species

A total of 10 non-repetitive multi-drug-resist-ant Acinetobacter strains were collected. With reference to A. calcoaceticus (ATCC23055), A. baumannii (ATCC19606), A. lwoffii (ATCC17986), and A. junii (NCTC5866), DNA fingerprint technique, amplified ribo-somal DNA restriction analysis (ARDRA), and random amplified polymorphism DNA (RAPD) were carried out to identify the genomic species of Acinetobacter spp. The distances between them were calculated by the unweighted pair group method with arithmetic (UPGMA). Genotypes ofAcinetobacter spp. were effectively classified and an A. junii together with nine A. baumannii isolates was genomically identified. The combination of ARDRA and RAPD DNA-fingerprint technique shows high com-plementarity, and could be a useful tool in Acinetobacter genomic species identification.
