基因序列在蚜虫分子系统发育研究中的应用

总结了核基因和线粒体基因在半翅目蚜虫分子系统发育研究中的应用。核基因中EF-1α应用最广泛,适用于探讨属级及属以上的问题; 核rDNA在蚜虫中应用较少,18S rDNA适用于探讨科级以上高级阶元的问题;LWO是新近在蚜虫中开发使用的一个新基因。线粒体基因中,COⅠ/COⅡ使用最多,12S rDNA/16S rDNA、ND1、Cyt b以及F-ATP6均有应用,探讨的问题从属、种级到科级不等。核基因和线粒体基因间以及不同线粒体基因间的联合分析在解决不同层次的问题中均有应用。建议不断尝试新基因以找出适合蚜虫类群的“标准基因”。并对未来蚜虫分子系统发育研究趋势进行了展望。     

线粒体DNA序列在半翅目异翅亚目昆虫分子系统学上的应用

随着PCR技术的发展以及大量DNA序列的累积,昆虫分子系统学近年来快速发展。线粒体DNA(mtDNA)序列相对于核内DNA序列进化速率较快,常被用于昆虫的系统发育研究。本文综述了国内外学者利用各种线粒体DNA序列来研究半翅目异翅亚目昆虫系统发育的研究概况。总结发现,COⅠ、COⅡ、12S rDNA、16S rDNA、Cytb、ND1、ND2和ND5等线粒体区段被用于半翅目异翅亚目系统发育的研究,其中以COI、COⅡ、16S rDNA和Cytb应用最广泛,但目前尚缺乏不同分子标记间的联合分析。进一步的研究最好在选定半翅目异翅亚目昆虫的分类阶元(如科间、亚科间、科内属间、种间或种内)后,集中测定线粒体某几个区段的DNA序列,然后进行单一分析和联合分析,并与传统形态学研究结果进行比较,可望全面分析半翅目异翅亚目昆虫的系统发育关系。     

全长rDNA簇在蝽类昆虫生命树构建中的应用前景(昆虫纲,半翅目)

在昆虫纲中,生命树计划正在以目级阶元中的分类单元为单位逐步推进.针对这一大的背景,以及高级阶元和种级阶元分子系统学研究间脱节现状,提出以rDNA簇为一组分子标记、并且在未来高级阶元系统发育研究中将目前选取少量代表类群的做法改为将尽量多的物种包含到一棵系统发育树中的建议.其中首先简要介绍了rDNA簇的结构及其中各分子标记在分子系统学研究中的应用价值,随后以蝽类昆虫为例,有针对性地总结了rDNA簇中不同基因序列已有数据的丰富程度及其在分子系统学研究中的应用情况.首次给出了蝽类昆虫28S rRNA近全长序列的二级结构模型.基于对18S rRNA和28S rRNA二级结构研究所积累的认识,强调了18S rDNA和28S rDNA内部不同区段之间变异模式和应用价值的差异,论证了未来在生命树构建中深化对rDNA簇中各基因进行联合应用的合理性和可行性.     

核基因序列在昆虫分子系统学上的应用

核基因中含有更加丰富的生物学信息,运用核基因序列或将核基因序列与线粒体基因序列相结合研究昆虫的系统发育正成为分子系统学领域的一种发展趋势.核糖体基因中18S rDNA、28S rDNA、ITS已在昆虫分子系统学中得到了广泛的应用.与核糖体基因相比,虽然编码蛋白的核基因应用于昆虫分子系统学的种类不少,但大部分都是应用于双翅目和鳞翅目昆虫的分子系统学研究中,能够成功地普遍用于多个目昆虫的系统学研究的核基因并不多.本文简要介绍了应用于昆虫分子系统学的核中核糖体基因和编码蛋白的核基因,并分析了核基因序列在分子系统学应用上的局限性和应用前景.     

DNA在鸟类分子系统发育研究中的应用

鸟类分子系统发育研究中常用的DNA技术有DNA杂交、RFLP和DNA序列分析等。DNA杂交技术曾在鸟类中有过大规模的应用,并由此诞生了一套新的鸟类分类系统。在鸟类的RFLP分析中,用的最多的靶序列是线粒体DNA。DNA序列分析技术被认为是进行分子系统发育研究最有效、最可靠的方法。在DNA序列分析中,线粒体基因应用最广泛,但由于其自身的一些不足,近年来,不少学者把目光投向了核基因,将线粒体基因和核基因结合起来进行系统发育研究。目前在鸟类分子系统发育中,应用较多的核基因是scnDNA,其内含子可以用于中等阶元水平的系统研究,而外显子主要用于高等阶元的系统研究。除了分子标记自身的问题之外,鸟类分子系统发育研究中还存在着方法上的问题,包括分子标记的选择,样本数量以及数据处理等。今后鸟类分子系统发育研究应该更加注重方法的标准化。     

核基因在鸟类分子系统发育学研究中的应用

核基因作为一种新的遗传标记,近年来被广泛应用于鸟类分子系统发育研究中.核基因与线粒体基因位于不同的遗传载体上,因此被引入到系统发育学研究中为物种树的重建提供独立的证据.常用的外显子标记为重组激活基因1(RAG-1),重组激活基因2(RAG-2),癌基因c-myc,原癌基因c-mos,它们由于缓慢的进化速率而被用于鸟类高级分类阶元的系统学研究中.常用的内含子标记是β纤维蛋白原基因内含子7(β-fibrinogen intron7,β-fibint7),肌红蛋白基因内含子Ⅱ(myoglobin intionⅡ).内含子标记通常与线粒体序列联合使用,形成具有互补系统发育信号的数据集,应用于各种分类阶元的系统学研究中.     

中国新发现芙新姬小蜂孤雌产雌品系的分子鉴定及其内共生菌Rickettsia的检测

【目的】芙新姬小蜂Neochrysocharis formosa(Westwood)是世界上蔬菜潜叶蝇的优势寄生蜂。2015年6月,我们在北京发现该寄生蜂存在孤雌产雌品系(thelytokous strain),为在中国首次发现。由于芙新姬小蜂孤雌产雌品系和两性品系(arrhenotokous strain)难于从形态上进行区分,本研究旨在从分子水平对这两种品系进行鉴定,为孤雌产雌品系的后续研究和应用奠定基础。【方法】以芙新姬小蜂孤雌产雌品系TH-China和两性品系AR-China的室内饲养种群为研究对象,分别扩增芙新姬小蜂两种品系的核糖体基因(28S rDNA和ITS-1基因)和线粒体COⅠ基因序列,比较两种品系的遗传分化;采用Rickettsia特异性引物NforRick1/NforRick2扩增其16S rDNA,克隆测序并进行BLAST比对;检测在TH-China卵巢管、幼虫、蛹和成虫,以及AR-China成虫中是否含有诱导形成孤雌产雌特性的内共生菌Rickettsia。【结果】分别以引物LCO1490/HCO2198和COⅠ1/COⅠ2扩增的两段COⅠ基因序列为分子标记建立的系统发育树表明,芙新姬小蜂两种品系分别聚为2个分支,品系间的遗传距离分别为0.039和0.023;以ITS-1基因为分子标记时,两种品系间有21个差异位点,遗传距离为0.008;以28S rDNA为分子标记时,两种品系间无差异位点。从TH-China的Rickettsia中扩增的16S rDNA序列与日本报道的芙新姬小蜂孤雌产雌品系内共生菌Rickettsia sp.的16S rDNA序列(Gen Bank登录号:AB185963)100%一致。芙新姬小蜂TH-China卵巢管、幼虫、蛹和成虫中均含有Rickettsia,而AR-China成虫不含Rickettsia,推测Rickettsia是孤雌产雌特性的形成原因。【结论】线粒体COⅠ基因可将芙新姬小蜂孤雌产雌品系和两性品系分为2个明显的遗传支系,而核糖体基因28S rDNA和ITS-1基因在两种品系间没有遗传分化或不能形成2个遗传分化支系。     

米尔顿姬小蜂线粒体16S rRNA与COⅠ基因片段序列测定及分析

【背景】米尔顿姬小蜂是一种入侵我国台湾地区的植食性小蜂,能够严重影响水果的产量和食用价值。目前在我国大陆没有分布,由于其个体微小,与近似种区别较小,通过传统的形态学分类方法难以鉴定,因此有必要研究其基因片段序列,探讨分子鉴定方法。【方法】利用PCR方法扩增并测定了米尔顿姬小蜂线粒体16SrRNA和COⅠ基因的部分序列,并对各序列的碱基组成进行了分析。然后根据COⅠ基因部分序列,利用DNAMAN的Maximum Likelihood方法构建了米尔顿姬小蜂与膜翅目其他科的系统发育树。【结果】16SrRNA基因的PCR扩增产物为426bp,COⅠ基因的PCR扩增产物为488bp。通过测序获得米尔顿姬小蜂16SrRNA和COⅠ基因部分序列,序列分析表明,16SrRNA和COⅠ基因的A+T含量均较高,存在较强的A+T偏向性。系统发育树显示,米尔顿姬小蜂与蚜小蜂科的Encarsia berlesei亲缘关系最近,与姬小蜂科的Chrysocharis nautius、C.eurynota亲缘关系较远。【结论与意义】本研究为米尔顿姬小蜂的分子鉴定提供了依据。

A Dual Role for Microbial Pathogen-Derived Effector Proteins in Plant Disease and Resistance

Many proteins from plant pathogens affecting the interaction with the host plant have dual functions: they promote virulence on the host species and they function as avirulence determinants by eliciting defense reactions in host cultivars expressing the appropriate resistance genes. In viruses all proteins encoded by the small genomes can be expected to be essential for viral development in the host. However, in different plants surveillance systems have evolved that are able to recognize most of these proteins. Bacteria and fungi have specialized pathogenicity and virulence genes. Many of the latter were originally identified through the resistance gene-dependent elicitor activity of their products. Their role in virulence only became apparent when they were inactivated or transferred to different microbes or after their ectopic expression in host plants. Many microbes appear to maintain these genes despite their disadvantageous effect, introducing only few mutations to abolish the interaction of their products with the plant recognition system. This has been interpreted as been indicative of a virulence function of the gene products that is not impaired by the mutations. Alternatively, in particular in bacteria there is now evidence that pathogenicity was acquired through horizontal gene transfer. Genes supporting virulence in the donor organism's original host appear to have traveled along. Being gratuitous in the new situation, they may have been inactivated without loss of any beneficial function for the pathogen.     

Putative novel Bradyrhizobium and Phyllobacterium species isolated from root nodules of Chamaecytisus ruthenicus

In this study, the diversity and the phylogenetic relationships of bacteria isolated from root nodules of Chamaecytisus ruthenicus growing in Poland were investigated using ERIC-PCR fingerprinting and by multilocus sequence analysis (MLSA). Two major clusters comprising 13 and 3 isolates were detected which 16S rRNA gene sequencing identified as Bradyrhizobium and Phyllobacterium. The results of phylogenetic analysis of individual and concatenated atpD, gyrB and recA gene sequences showed that the studied strains may represent novel species in the genera Bradyrhizobium and Phyllobacterium. In the phylogenetic tree based on the atpD-gyrB-recA concatemers, Bradyrhizobium isolates were split into two groups closely related to Bradyrhizobium algeriense STM89^T and Bradyrhizobium valentinum LmjM3^T. The genus Phyllobacterium isolates formed a separate cluster close to Phyllobacterium ifriqiyense LMG27887^T in the atpD-gyrB-recA phylogram. Analysis of symbiotic gene sequences (nodC, nodZ, nifD, and nifH) showed that the Bradyrhizobium isolates were most closely related to Bradyrhizobium algeriense STM89^T, Bradyrhizobium valentinum LmjM3^T and Bradyrhizobium retamae Ro19^T belonging to symbiovar retamae. This is the first report on the occurrence of members of symbiovar retamae from outside the Mediterranean region. No symbiosis related genes were amplified from Phyllobacterium strains, which were also unable to induce nodules on C. ruthenicus roots. Based on these findings Phyllobacterium isolates can be regarded as endophytic bacteria inhabitating root nodules of C. ruthenicus.     

高等植物成花基因的研究

高等植物的成花可分为两个阶段：由茎顶端分生组织转变成花分生组织和花器官的形成。前者主要受成花计时基因的控制,而后一阶段主要由植物的同源（异型）框基因调控。本文综述了近年来对植物成花调控基因的研究,并着重对第一阶段成花基因的功能、它们间的相互作用和特点进行了总结。 Abstract:Plant flower can be divided into two phases——from stem apex meristem tissue into flower meristem tissue and floral apparatus.The flower time genes control the flower development and the homologous genes control flower apparatus identify.This paper summarizes recent studies on plant flower and emphasizes on the first phase flower control genes,theirs interaction and function,characteristic of the homologous genes.     

Conservation of the RD-BF-C2 organization in the pig MHC class-III region: mapping and cloning of the pig RD gene

The RD gene, named after the arginine (R) and aspartic acid (D) repeat in the central part of its protein, was initially mapped in the mouse H-2S subregion between C4 and BF. It was later mapped in the same position in the human MHC and here we show it is also conserved in the pig MHC class III region, close to the complement BF gene. A pig RD genomic clone was isolated from a γ-phage library. Hybridizations on genomic DNA separated with pulsed field gel electrophoresis identified common 220kb Nrul, 130 kb EagI and 200 kb Mlul bands for RD, BF and C2. The RD gene has also a 17 kb Kpnl and 11 kb Sad fragment in common with BFbut not with C2. The close linkage of the RD and BF genes was further established by hybridization of BF to a genomic γ-phage clone also containing the RD gene. This genomic RD clone overlaps with a γ -phage clone previously isolated and containing the complete BF gene and the 3' part of C2. The distance between RD and BF is about 6 kb. The junction between the two complement genes BF and C2 was sequenced and the BF 5' promoter region, overlapping the 3' noncoding region of C2, was compared with that of the human BF promoter. The overall homology was about 80% and all but one identified promoter elements were found in the same position in both genes. The results obtained demonstrate the RD-BF-C2 organization is strongly conserved between human, mouse and pig. No polymorphisms were detected in either the RD gene or in the BF promoter region using polymerase chain reaction and restriction fragment polymorphism analysis.

Phylogenetically diverse groups of Bradyrhizobium isolated from nodules of tree and annual legume species growing in Ethiopia

Bacteria belonging to the genus Bradyrhizobium nodulate various leguminous woody plants and herbs, including economically important crops such as soybean, peanut and cowpea. Here we analysed 39 Bradyrhizobium strains originating from root nodules of the leguminous trees and crops Acacia saligna, Faidherbia albida, Erythrina brucei, Albizia gummifera, Millettia ferruginea, Cajanus cajan, Vigna unguiculata and Phaseolus vulgaris, growing in southern Ethiopia. Multilocus sequence analyses (MLSA) of the 16S rRNA, glnII, recA, gyrB and dnaK genes and the ITS region grouped the test strains into seven well-supported genospecies (I–VII), six of which occupied distinct positions excluding all hitherto defined Bradyrhizobium species. Analyses of the nodA, nodC and nifH genes suggested different evolutionary history of the chromosomal and symbiosis-related genes. Our study corroborates earlier findings that Ethiopia is a hotspot for rhizobial biodiversity, justifying further search for novel strains from this region and calling for intensified research on the ecology and biochemistry of these organisms.
