Allozyme diversity and introgression in the Galapagos Islands endemic Gossypium darwinii and its relationship to continental G. barbadense

Gossypium darwiniiWatt is a tetraploid cotton endemic to the Galapagos Islands. Opinion has been divided as to whether or not it deserves recognition at the specific rank, with some considering it a variety of its presumed progenitor, the widely distributed South American species G. barbadense L. A previous hypothesis states that much of the perceived intergradation between the two taxa arose as a consequence of introgression from G. barbadense following its introduction to the archipelago during the past several hundred years. We performed allozyme analysis on 58 accessions of G. darwinii from six islands, using 17 enzymes collectively encoded by 59 loci. Levels of variation were high for an island endemic, with a mean number of alleles per locus of 1.34 and an average panmictic heterozygosity of 0.062. Principal component analysis revealed clustering of accessions according to their island of origin, and a spatial pattern of island-clusters that approximates geographical relationships among islands. Genetic relationships of G. darwinii with G. barbadense and G. hirsutum L. were studied using previously generated allozyme data. Significant introgression of G. hirsutum alleles was detected; however morphological considerations support the hypothesis that much of G. darwinii's diversity stems from interspecific gene flow from G. barbadense, Evidence is presented suggesting that the occurrence of G. hirsutum alleles in G. darwinii derives not from direct hybridization, but from a mediated transfer through introduced, G. hirsutum-introgressed; G. barbadense. Gossypium darwinii and G. barbadense are nearly fixed for different alleles at four loci and each contains a large number of unique alleles. Notwithstanding the high interspecific Nei's genetic identity (0.949), the allozyme data support geographical and morphological evidence in suggesting that a specific rank for G. darwinii is warranted.     

基于SCoT分子标记的裸果木遗传多样性分析

为了揭示裸果木的遗传多样性和遗传结构,采用SCoT分子标记对新疆7个裸果木自然种群201个植株进行分析。结果表明12条引物共扩增出145个位点,在物种和种群水平上裸果木多态位点百分率分别为97.24%和76.45%,Nei's遗传多样性指数分别为0.263 8和0.213 7,Shannon's信息多样性指数分别为0.408 1和0.331 6,说明裸果木具有较高的遗传多样性,且物种水平遗传多样性略高于种群水平;遗传分化系数为0.183 9,说明其遗传变异主要来自种群内,种群间存在一定程度的分化;Mantel检验结果表明裸果木种群地理距离与遗传距离不存在显著相关性;运用主坐标分析（PCoA）和STRUCTURE分析对裸果木个体间亲缘关系聚类分析的结果存在一定差异,但总体上结果是一致的。裸果木的遗传多样性和遗传结构可能与进化历史、繁育系统、地理隔离和人为干扰有关。     

我国南方产狭叶型龙胆的研究

产于我国南方的狭叶型龙胆(以下简称狭叶型)先后曾出现过Genti-ana scabra Bunge^[1] G.manshurica Kitagawa^[2]等不同名称。究竟狭叶型的分类地位如何?与龙胆(G.scabra Bge.)或东北龙胆(G.man-shurica Kitag.)有无亲缘关系?如果有的话,是什么关系?显然,这是一个需要通过进一步研究加以阐明的问题。     

Flavonoids of Helianthus series Microcephali

Ray flower and leaf flavonoids were investigated for the three species of Helianthus series Microcephali. Ray flowers of all species contain coreopsin, sulphurein, and quercetin 7-O-glucoside; those of H. microcephalus also contain quercetin 3-O-glucoside. A mixture of flavonoid aglycones, mostly methoxylated flavones, occurs in leaves of H. microcephalus, but not in H. glaucophyllus or H. laevigatus which also lack the glandular trichomes that in Helianthus are typically associated with flavonoid aglycones. The presence of compounds with the 6,8,4′ pattern of methoxylation in H. microcephalus suggests that the series is more similar in flavonoids to series Angustifolii than to series Corona-solis.     

基于线粒体COI基因分析钩手水母的群体遗传结构

钩手水母(Gonionemus vertens)为大西洋和太平洋广布种, 是我国习见的有毒水母种类之一。本文对采自黄渤海海域4个地理群体的104个钩手水母线粒体COI基因序列进行扩增, 并结合GenBank上其他182个钩手水母同源序列进行序列变异分析。在286个基因序列中共检测出52个多态位点, 定义了14种单倍型。总群体的单倍型多样性和核苷酸多样性分别为0.743 ± 0.012和1.046% ± 0.097%, 与其他几种大型水母相比, 钩手水母总群体的遗传多样性处于较高水平。AMOVA结果显示, 60.17%的分子变异源于群组间, 13.37%的分子变异源于群体内, 26.46%的分子变异源于组内群体间, 群组间、群体内和组内群体间的遗传分化均极显著。F_st值统计检验表明, 中国厦门群体与乐亭、东营、烟台、大连群体间存在显著的遗传分化, 大连与东营、烟台群体间也存在显著的遗传分化。系统分析结果显示, 钩手水母群体间存在2个明显的单倍型谱系分支。不同的钩手水母地理群体间具有复杂的遗传模式, 钩手水母复杂的生活史、扩散能力、地理隔离和海流分布可能是影响钩手水母遗传结构的重要因素。     

中国近海甲藻环沟藻属2个新记录种:纺锤环沟藻和莫氏环沟藻

甲藻环沟藻属于一类无色素体、表面有脊的裸甲藻, 因可捕食一些重要的赤潮生物而在海洋生态系统中扮演着重要的角色。有关中国近海环沟藻属的物种多样性信息非常有限。本文报道了2个新记录种——纺锤环沟藻(Gyrodinium fusiforme)和莫氏环沟藻(G. moestrupii)。纺锤环沟藻细胞呈纺锤形, 长48.0-58.0 μm, 宽18.0-23.0 μm, 长宽比为2.4-3.0, 和模式种相比体型和长宽比都较小。莫氏环沟藻细胞也呈纺锤形, 长约30 μm, 宽约15 μm。我们测定了纺锤环沟藻和莫氏环沟藻大亚基的部分序列, 并根据大亚基序列利用最大似然法和贝叶斯法建立了系统发育树。结果显示环沟藻属是单源的, 纺锤环沟藻和裂缝环沟藻(G. fissum)聚合在一起, 但是与螺旋环沟藻(G. spirale)分离。纺锤环沟藻和莫氏环沟藻分别可以摄食米氏凯伦藻(Karenia mikimotoi)和具齿原甲藻(Prorocentrum dentatum), 前者在米氏凯伦藻赤潮中的大量出现显示它可以促进赤潮的消退。     

A contribution to Gymnosphaera (Cyatheaceae) in mainland Asia: Two new species,reinstatement of Cyathea bonii,and their phylogenetic positions

Gymnosphaera represents a minor lineage within the scaly tree-fern family Cyatheaceae. Tropical and subtropical mainland Asia is a main distribution area of Gymnosphaera. However, the species diversity of Gymnosphaera is currently incompletely known in mainland Asia due to lacking critical revision. Here we present new findings of species diversity and their relationships to mainland Asian Gymnosphaera based on field surveys, the examination of herbarium collections, and phylogenetic analyses of sequences of multiple chloroplast and nuclear regions. Two new species, G. saxicola from southwestern Yunnan and G. bachmaensis from central Vietnam, are established. Traditionally recognized G. podophylla is revealed to be a complex, from which G. bonii is reinstated as a distinct species. Our phylogenetic analyses identified four clades within Gymnosphaera in mainland Asia: G. denticulata clade, G. gigantea clade, G. podophylla clade, and G. salletii clade. The new species G. saxicola, which is special for its saxicolous habitat, was resolved as sister to G. austroyunnanensis in the G. salletii clade. The newly discovered G. bachmaensis, which is characterized specially by the spathulate frond, was positioned in the G. podophylla clade, being sister to G. bonii. The mountainous region from south-central Vietnam northwards to western Yunnan is a diverse center of Gymnosphaera and more species of this group are probably to be discovered there.     

Effects of season on the yield and quality of agar from Gracilaria species (Gracilariaceae, Rhodophyta)

The effect of season on yield and physical properties of agars extracted from Gracia gracilis and G. bursa-pastoris were determined. The agar yield from G. gracilis was maximum during spring (30%) and minimum during autumn (19%). In G. bursa-pastoris, the agar yield was greatest in summer (36%) and lowest in winter (23%). Agar yield from G. bursa-pastoris was positively correlated with temperature (r=0.94; P<0.01) and salinity (r=0.97; P<0.01) and negatively with nitrogen content (r=−0.93; P<0.01). Agar gel strengths fluctuated from 229 to 828 g cm⁻² and 23 to 168 g cm⁻² for G. gracilis and G. bursa-pastoris, respectively. The gelling temperature showed significant seasonal variation for both species. Chemical analysis of agar from the two seaweeds indicated variation in 3,6-anhydrogalactose and sulfate content (P<0.01). Furthermore, there was an inverse correlation between the two chemical variables. In general, agar extracted from G. gracilis possessed better qualities than agar extracted from G. bursa-pastoris and can be considered a candidate for industrial use.     

中国近海重要生态建群红藻真江蓠的群体遗传多样性

真江蓠(Gracilaria vermiculophylla)是中国近海潮间带生态系统结构组成和功能维持的重要支撑物种, 但有关其群体遗传结构和多样性分布模式的研究目前仍较缺乏。本研究利用线粒体cox1序列对我国近海19个真江蓠地理群体进行了系统发育和群体遗传分析。461个长度为641 bp的cox1序列片段共含有21个多态位点, 产生15个单倍型。基于cox1序列的系统进化分析、单倍型分析和主成分分析显示, 19个真江蓠群体分化为南北两个类群, 其中浙江嵊泗以北的13个群体形成北方类群, 福建厦门以南的6个群体形成南方类群。遗传距离和分子方差分析显示真江蓠南北各类群内的遗传分化较小, 南北类群间的遗传分化达到亚种水平。南北类群间的差异是我国近海真江蓠群体遗传变异的主要来源。     

AM真菌控制蚕豆枯萎病发生的根际微生物效应

在温室盆栽条件下,研究了接种尖孢镰刀菌蚕豆专化型和丛枝菌根(AM)真菌(摩西球囊霉Gm、扭形球囊霉Gt、根内球囊霉Gi及幼套球囊霉Ge)对灭菌连作土壤中蚕豆幼苗生长、枯萎病发生、根际镰刀菌数量和微生物代谢功能多样性的影响.结果表明: 接种AM真菌能显著增加蚕豆幼苗地上部和地下部鲜质量;接种Gm、Gt、Gi和Ge真菌使蚕豆枯萎病病情指数分别显著降低94.0%、60.0%、64.0%和94.0%,使蚕豆根际镰刀菌数量分别显著降低98.6%、74.3%、77.8%和90.4%,以Gm和Ge真菌对蚕豆枯萎病的抑制效应最好.接种Gm、Gt和Ge显著提高了根际微生物对糖类(CH)、氨基酸类(AA)、羧酸类(CA)和酚酸类(PA)碳源的利用,使蚕豆根际微生物的AWCD值分别显著提高34.4%、31.5%和50.8%;而接种Gi对AA、CA、PA类碳源利用和AWCD值均无显著影响,使微生物对CH类碳源的利用显著降低59.3%.主成分和相关分析表明, 接种AM真菌明显改变了蚕豆根际微生物的群落结构.接种Gt真菌提高了蚕豆根际微生物对AA类碳源(β-甲基-D-葡萄糖苷、D-半乳糖酸-γ-内酯、D-甘露醇、N-乙酰基-D-葡萄糖胺、D-纤维二糖)和CA类碳源(D-半乳糖醛酸)的利用,而接种Gi真菌降低了微生物对以上碳源的利用;接种Gm和Ge真菌提高了根际微生物对L-精氨酸和4-羟基苯甲酸的利用.表明糖类和羧酸类是接种Gt真菌后蚕豆根际土壤微生物利用的主要碳源, 氨基酸和酚酸类是接种Gm和Ge后蚕豆根际土壤微生物利用的主要碳源.接种AM真菌显著提高了蚕豆根际微生物的活性,改变了微生物群落结构并抑制病原菌的增殖,是AM真菌减轻了蚕豆枯萎病的发生的重要原因.不同AM真菌减轻了蚕豆枯萎病的发生与其改变微生物的碳源利用密切相关.     

外部干扰对根茎型克隆植物甘草自然种群植株生长及主要药用成分含量的影响

克隆植物, 特别是游击型克隆植物, 其分株在一定时间段往往通过连接结构(即间隔子)连接在一起形成克隆网络, 基于克隆网络的克隆植物特性显著提高了克隆植物应对外部干扰的能力。长期封育禁牧使得甘草(Glycyrrhiza uralensis)自然种群免受外部干扰, 却并没有促使受破坏的甘草自然种群快速恢复。因为克隆整合、克隆储存及克隆分株的选择性放置等克隆植物特性的存在, 适度的外部干扰有利于根茎型克隆植物甘草的生长与繁衍。但外部干扰与克隆植物特性在甘草种群恢复中的作用及其机理目前并不清楚。该研究以甘草自然种群为研究对象, 通过野外控制实验进行模拟动物采食和人工采挖干扰, 探讨不同程度干扰对甘草自然种群生长和主要药用成分含量的影响。结果表明在中度放牧采食干扰或者人工采挖干扰下, 甘草自然种群的分株密度、高度和地上生物量与对照相比均没有显著差异, 甘草表现出等补偿生长; 而在不同类型的重度干扰下, 甘草产生的响应不一致。重度放牧采食干扰下甘草表现出欠补偿生长, 而重度人工采挖干扰下甘草表现出超补偿生长。克隆植物特性在甘草应对外部干扰过程中发挥着重要作用。外部干扰一定程度上提高了甘草中甘草苷和甘草酸的含量, 从而提升了药材的品质。进一步的研究应该关注于甘草自然种群与环境因子之间的关系, 解析甘草自然种群退化的原因, 提出相应的复壮技术, 探讨可持续利用的管理模式。     

Differential influence of Pomphorhynchus laevis (Acanthocephala) on the behaviour of native and invader gammarid species.

Although various species of acanthocephalan parasites can increase the vulnerability of their amphipod intermediate hosts to predation, particularly by altering their photophobic behaviour, their influence on the structure of amphipod communities and the success of invader species has so far received little attention. We compared the prevalence and behavioural influence of a fish acanthocephalan parasite, Pomphorhynchus laevis, in two species of amphipods, Gammarus pulex and Gammarus roeseli in sympatry in the river Ouche (Burgundy, eastern France). There, G. pulex is a resident species, whereas G. roeseli is a recent coloniser. Both uninfected G. pulex and G. roeseli were strongly photophobic, although less so in the invading species. However, there was no significant difference in reaction to light between infected and uninfected G. roeseli, whereas infected G. pulex were strongly photophilic. We discuss our results in relation to the parasite's ability to manipulate invading host species, the possibility that resistant individuals have been selected during the invasion process, and the role that acanthocephalan parasites can play in shaping the structure of amphipod communities.     

毒鹿花菌——一个发现于中国的毒蘑菇新种

基于形态学和系统发育研究结果,本研究报道在中国华中和西南地区发现的一个隶属于鹿花菌属鹿花菌亚属的有毒新种——毒鹿花菌。该种在形态上与鹿花菌Gyromitra esculenta十分相似,但毒鹿花菌的囊盘被分化较为明显,外表面几乎由一层栅状细胞排列而成,而鹿花菌的囊盘被基本没有分化。此外,毒鹿花菌通常具有更长的菌柄并生于阔叶林地上。为了准确理解鹿花菌的物种概念,本研究指定了一份采自法国的标本（即HMAS 21460）作为该种的附加模式。     

青鳉与食蚊鱼竞争排斥的生态形态学解释

生态形态学理论指出,形态相似的物种生态位相似,是导致种间竞争排斥的关键性因素。在鱼类入侵生态学研究中引入生态形态学理论,对于加深理解入侵种与土著种的种间相互关系有着重要意义。本文利用形态分析方法,对广东怀集燕都国家湿地公园入侵种食蚊鱼对土著种鳍斑青鳉和弓背青鳉的影响机制进行研究。结果表明: 弓背青鳉和鳍斑青鳉在研究区域常同域分布,但两者的空间分布格局差异显著。两者形态高度相似,符合生态形态学“形态相似者竞争排斥”理论。与群落其他鱼类相比,食蚊鱼与2种青鳉鱼类形态更为相似。聚类分析发现,食蚊鱼和青鳉鱼类聚合在同一分枝,且其空间生态位的重叠度极低。种群相对密度调查显示,食蚊鱼与青鳉鱼类种群数量呈显著的负相关关系。食蚊鱼的入侵是导致2种青鳉鱼类种群数量明显下降的关键原因。形态特征的相似性能够初步解释食蚊鱼与青鳉鱼类的竞争排斥关系,尚需从不同角度就食蚊鱼入侵对青鳉鱼类的作用机制进行深入探索。     

Genetic analysis by DNA fingerprinting in tsetse fly genomes

Genomic DNA from tsetse flies (Diptera : Glossinidae: Glossina Wiedemann) was analyzed by hybridization using the whole M13 phage as a probe to reveal DNA fingerprinting (DNAfp) profiles. Intrapopulation variablity, measured by comparison of DNAfp profiles of tsetse flies from large colony of G. brevipalpis, showed a high degree of polymorphism similar to that found in other animal species. Different lines of G. m. morsitans, G. m. centralis, G. m. submorsitans, G. p. palpalis and G. p. gambiensis established from small colonies displayed less genetic variability than the G. brevipalpis population. The analysis of pedigree relationships within an inbred line of G. m. centralis conformed to a Mendelian inheritance pattern. In the pedigree presented no mutations were observed, one fragment was linked to the X chromosome, and three fragment sets were linked, but most fragments showed independent segregation. M13 revealed no characteristics DNAfp profile differences between the subgenus Glossina and the subgenus Nemorhina, but a conserved distribution pattern was found in the laboratory colonies within each subspecies. M13 also revealed line specific DNA fragments that may be useful as genetic markers to expand the present linkage map of G. m. morsitans.     

Synergistic effects of antagonistic fungi and a plant growth promoting rhizobacterium, an arbuscular mycorrhizal fungus, or composted cow manure on populations of Meloidogyne incognita and growth of tomato

Effects of four antagonistic fungi (Paecilomyces lilacinus, Pochonia chlamydosporia, Trichoderma harzianum and Gliocladium virens) alone and together with a plant growth promoting rhizobacterium Pseudomonas putida, an arbuscular mycorrhizal fungus Glomus intraradices or with composted cow manure (CCM) were assessed on the growth of tomato and on the reproduction of Meloidogyne incognita in glasshouse experiments. Application of all antagonistic fungi (except G. virens), P. putida, G. intraradices or CCM caused a significant increase in the growth of plants without nematodes. However, use of either of these fungi, P. putida, G. intraradices and CCM against plants with nematodes caused a significant increase in tomato growth. Paecilomyces lilacinus caused a 42% increase in the growth of nematode-inoculated plants followed by P. chlamydosporia (36%), T. harzianum (18%) and G. virens (15%). CCM caused about 57% increase in the growth of nematode-inoculated plants followed by P. putida (37%) and G. intraradices (31%). Maximum increase (71%) in the growth of nematode-inoculated plants was observed when CCM was used with P. lilacinus. Moreover, P. lilacinus caused a high reduction (55%) in galling and nematode multiplication, while G. virens the least (25%). Use of P. putida also caused a 39% reduction in galling and nematode multiplication followed by CCM (34%) and G. intraradices (32%). Combined use of CCM with P. lilacinus caused maximum reduction (79%) in galling and nematode multiplication. Re-isolation of antagonistic fungi from nematodes revealed that P. lilacinus parasitised more females and eggs than other antagonistic fungi. Root colonisation by P. putida was increased with P. lilacinus, while colonisation by G. intraradices was reduced in the presence of antagonistic fungi.     

抑制前列腺癌的食药用菌醇提物的筛选及灵芝醇提物对癌细胞的抑制机理

比较了灰树花Grifola frondosa、巴氏蘑菇Agaricus blazei、 猴头菌Hericium erinaceus、刺芹侧耳Pleurotus eryngii、毛头鬼伞Coprinus comatus、蛹虫草Cordyceps militaris、灵芝Ganoderma lingzhi、香菇Lentinula edodes、桑黄Sanghuangporus sanghuang和桦褐孔菌Inonotus obliquus 10种食用菌醇提物对前列腺癌LNCaP细胞增殖的影响,其中灵芝醇提物对LNCaP细胞增殖及5ɑ-还原酶活性具有良好的抑制效果,对LNCaP细胞释放PSA的抑制效果也好于其他食用菌。进一步研究灵芝醇提物对LNCaP细胞的抑制机理,结果表明,灵芝醇提物通过诱导细胞凋亡、使Caspase-3、Bax、P53活性升高,PARP、Bcl-2活性下降来实现对LNCap细胞的抑制作用。利用自噬抑制剂氯喹和自噬激活剂雷帕霉素观察细胞自噬在灵芝醇提物抗肿瘤过程中的作用,结果表明,体外激活细胞自噬对LNCaP细胞起到保护,从而减弱了灵芝醇提物的抗肿瘤作用。     

Commensalism during submerged mixed culture of Geotrichum candidum and Penicillium camembertii on glutamate and lactate

Geotrichum candidum and Penicillium camembertii were cultivated in pure and mixed cultures on glutamate- and lactate-based medium. In pure culture, P. camembertii assimilated simultaneously glutamate, as a nitrogen and carbon source for biosynthesis, and lactate as an energy source. On the contrary, G. candidum grew on glutamate alone. The mixed culture led to higher growth rates and then higher rates of substrate consumption and metabolite production than each pure culture; however, the behaviour recorded was similar to that observed during G. candidum pure culture, in particular the absence of lactate assimilation during growth, illustrating a commensalism between both species. The presence of G. candidum induced a form of “competition” and then a better assimilation by P. camembertii of the sole nitrogen source, glutamate, which was therefore used as an energy source in addition to be a carbon (and nitrogen) source. Lactate was only used for energy supply during stationary state, as also recorded during G. candidum pure culture.     

天麻种子与真菌共生萌发的蛋白组学研究

天麻Gastrodia elata是典型的腐生型兰科药用植物,其种子萌发需要小菇属Mycena真菌的侵染和共生,目前天麻种子共生萌发分子机制是该领域的热点问题。我们首次对天麻种子共生萌发过程进行了系统的蛋白质组学研究。采用iTRAQ标记的液质联用技术,成功鉴定了天麻成熟种子和萌发后原球茎的蛋白质组,共鉴定蛋白1 769个（global FDR 1%）。两组进行了差异蛋白质组学研究,获得差异蛋白269个。差异蛋白GO注释结果表明,在天麻种子共生萌发过程中,差异蛋白参与的功能和生物过程多样,以催化和结合为主,还参与感知环境刺激、分子信号等功能。KEGG代谢通路分析表明,差异蛋白还主要参与了转导、能量代谢、次生代谢和环境适应等过程。我们发现,一些参与内吞作用的蛋白在共生萌发过程中存在差异表达,表明内吞可能参与到二者互作过程中。对差异蛋白质组的深入解析和研究有利于揭示天麻种子共生萌发的分子机制,具有较强的理论和现实意义。     

兰科药用植物手参种子的真菌共生萌发

手参Gymnadenia conopsea是一种地生型兰科植物,是我国的传统中药,同时也是蒙药、藏药常用药,在西藏地区亦作食用。现代药理学研究表明手参具有非常好的药理活性,然而当前手参还不能进行人工栽培,市场需求完全依赖野生资源,因此资源短缺仍然是制约该种药用植物进一步开发利用的瓶颈。兰科植物种子萌发及早期的幼苗生长均需真菌参与,基于此,本文从手参根系中进行了真菌分离,并获得一株菌株,分子鉴定为角担菌属Ceratobasidium GS2。将GS2菌株与手参种子进行共培养,可明显促进手参种子的原球茎的形成并最终分化成幼苗。手参种子共生萌发的成功对于实现手参的种质保育、人工栽培和野生居群的生态恢复均具有重要的意义。
