从籼稻（ＯｒｙｚａｓａｔｉｖａＬ．ｓｐｐ．ｉｎｄｉｃａ）“窄叶青”中克隆到了１个重复序列（ｐＯｓ１３９）。经分子杂交证明,ｐＯｓ１３９为一稻属内ＡＡ基因组特异的串联重复序列。序列分析表明,ｐＯｓ１３９以３５５ｂｐ为一重复单位。以ｐＯｓ１３９为探针对２９份中国普通野生稻和４３份中国栽培稻的基因组ＤＮＡ进行的分子杂交表明,籼、粳亚种之间具有明显的差异,籼稻杂交带数明显多于粳稻,普通野生稻与籼稻相似,具有较多的杂交带数。拷贝数测定结果表明,ｐＯｓ１３９在普通野生稻和籼稻中丰度均较高,在粳稻中丰度较低。结合ｐＯｓ１３９的Ｓｏｕｔｈｅｒｎ杂交结果和以前的ＲＡＰＤ结果,认为籼稻和粳稻共同起源于普通野生稻。     

Characterization of a family of tandemly repeated DNA sequences in Triticeae

The recombinant plasmid dpTa1 has an insert of relic wheat DNA that represents a family of tandemly organized DNA sequences with a monomeric length of approximately 340 bp. This insert was used to investigate the structural organization of this element in the genomes of 58 species within the tribe Triticeae and in 7 species representing other tribes of the Poaceae. The main characteristic of the genomic organization of dpTa1 is a classical ladder-type pattern which is typical for tandemly organized sequences. The dpTa1 sequence is present in all of the genomes of the Triticeae species examined and in 1 species from a closely related tribe (Bromus inermis, Bromeae). DNA from Hordelymus europaeus (Triticeae) did not hybridize under the standard conditions used in this study. Prolonged exposure was necessary to obtain a weak signal. Our data suggest that the dpTa1 family is quite old in evolutionary terms, probably more ancient than the tribe Triticeae. The dpTa1 sequence is more abundant in the D-genome of wheat than in other genomes in Triticeae. DNA from several species also have bands in addition to the tandem repeats. The dpTa1 sequence contains short direct and inverted subrepeats and is homologous to a tandemly repeated DNA sequence from Hordeum chilense.     

Distribution and organization of a tandemly repeated 352-bp sequence in the oryzae family

Summary A 352-bp EcoRI fragment from rice DNA was cloned and shown to be a member of a tandem repeat. Sequence determination revealed homologies with human alpha satellite DNA and maize knob heterochromatin specific repeat. This 352-bp sequence is highly specific for the AA genome of rice. However, copy number and sequence organization are variable, depending on the accession analyzed. Several examples of amplification were observed in O. rufipogon and O. longistaminata. Use of resolutive polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and 4-bp cutter enzymes allowed one to distinguish between the Indica and Japonica subtypes of O. sativa. The same method also discriminates between two groups of O. rufipogon, the presumed ancestor of O. sativa, suggesting that the present day Indica and Japonica subtypes originated independently from two O. rufipogon distinct populations.     

Interhomologue sequence variation of alpha satellite DNA from human chromosome 17: Evidence for concerted evolution along haplotypic lineages

Alpha satellite DNA is a family of tandemly repeated DNA found at the centromeres of all primate chromosomes. Different human chromosomes 17 in the population are characterized by distinct alpha satellite haplotypes, distinguished by the presence of variant repeat forms that have precise monomeric deletions. Pairwise comparisons of sequence diversity between variant repeat units from each haplotype show that they are closely related in sequence. Direct sequencing of PCR-amplified alpha satellite reveals heterogeneous positions between the repeat units on a chromosome as two bands at the same position on a sequencing ladder. No variation was detected in the sequence and location of these heterogeneous positions between chromosomes 17 from the same haplotype, but distinct patterns of variation were detected between chromosomes from different haplotypes. Subsequent sequence analysis of individual repeats from each haplotype confirmed the presence of extensive haplotype-specific sequence variation. Phylogenetic inference yielded a tree that suggests these chromosome 17 repeat units evolve principally along haplotypic lineages. These studies allow insight into the relative rates and/or timing of genetic turnover processes that lead to the homogenization of tandem DNA families. Correspondence to: H.F. Willard     

Identification of genetic factors controlling domestication-related traits of rice using an F2 population of a cross between Oryza sativa and O. rufipogon

 Domesticated rice differs from the wild progenitor in large arrays of morphological and physiological traits. The present study was conducted to identify the genetic factors controlling the differences between cultivated rice and its wild progenitor, with the intention to assess the genetic basis of the changes associated with the processes of rice domestication. A total of 19 traits, including seven qualitative and 12 quantitative traits, that are related to domestication were scored in an F₂ population from a cross between a variety of the Asian cultivated rice (Oryza sativa) and an accession of the common wild rice (O. rufipogon). Loci controlling the inheritance of these traits were determined by making use of a molecular linkage map consisting of 348 molecular-marker loci (313 RFLPs, 12 SSRs and 23 AFLPs) based on this F₂ population. All seven qualitative traits were each controlled by a single Mendelian locus. Analysis of the 12 quantitative traits resolved a total of 44 putative QTLs with an average of 3.7 QTLs per trait. The amount of variation explained by individual QTLs ranged from a low of 6.9% to a high of 59.8%, and many of the QTLs accounted for more than 20% of the variation. Thus, genes of both major and minor effect were involved in the differences between wild and cultivated rice. The results also showed that most of the genetic factors (qualitative or QTLs) controlling the domestication-related traits were concentrated in a few chromosomal blocks. Such a clustered distribution of the genes may provide explanations for the genetic basis of the “domestication syndrome” observed in evolutionary studies and also for the “linkage drag” that occurs in many breeding programs. The information on the genetic basis of some desirable traits possessed by the wild parent may also be useful for facilitating the utilization of these traits in rice-breeding programs.

A genome-specific repeat sequence from kiwifruit (Actinidia deliciosa var. deliciosa)

Summary Six members of a family of moderately repetitive DNA sequences from kiwifruit (Actinidia deliciosa var. deliciosa) have been cloned and characterized. The repeat family is composed of elements that have a unit length of 463 bp, are highly methylated, occur in tandem arrays of at least 50 kb in length, and constitute about 0.5% of the kiwifruit genome. Individual elements diverge in nucleotide sequence by up to 5%, which suggests that the repeat sequence is evolving rapidly. Homologous sequences were found in A. deliciosa var. chlorocarpa. The repeat sequence was not found under low stringency hybridization conditions in the diploid A. chinensis, the species most closely related to the hexaploid kiwifruit, or in eight other Actinidia species. However, homologous repeats were detected in a tetraploid species, A. chrysantha. The results provide the first molecular evidence to suggest that kiwifruit may be an allopolyploid species.     

A novel repetitive DNA sequence in the genus Oryza

Summary Repetitive DNA sequences in the genus Oryza (rice) represent a large fraction of the nuclear DNA. The isolation and characterization of major repetitive DNA sequences will lead to a better understanding of rice genome organization and evolution. Here we report the characterization of a novel repetitive sequence, CC-1, from the CC genome. This repetitive sequence is present as long tandem arrays with a repeat unit 194 bp in length in the CC-diploid genome but 172 bp in length in the BBCC and CCDD tetraploid genomes. This repetitive sequence is also present, though at lower copy numbers, in the AA and BB genomes, but is absent in the EE and FF genomes. Hybridization experiments revealed considerable differences both in copy numbers and in restriction fragment patterns of CC-1 both between and within rice species. The results support the hypothesis that the CC genome is more closely related to the AA genome than to the BB genome, and most distantly related to the EE and FF genomes.     

Characterization of relic DNA from barley genome

Summary High-molecular-weight relic DNA fraction can be electrophoretically separated from the bulk of barley DNA digested with different restriction enzymes. We have cloned and analyzed a population of relic DNA fragments. The majority of AluI-relic DNA clones contained barley simple sequence satellite DNA and other families of repetitive DNA. One of these families, designated HvRT, has been analyzed in detail. This family is composed of tandemly arranged 118-bp monomers and is present in 7 × 10⁵ copies in the barley genome. Clones representing the HvRT family were sequenced. HvRT repeats were found to contain high levels of methylated cytosine. The HvRT family was found in the genomes of H. vulgare, H. leporinum, H. murinum, H. jubatum, but not in H. marinum, H. geniculatum, and wheat. Different barley species and cultivars show restriction fragment length polymorphism with the HvRT probe. Chromosome-specific subfamilies of HvRT were found to be present on different barley chromosomes, providing the possibility of using the HvRT probe as a chromosome specific marker. HvRT fragments up to 810 kbp in length were resolved by pulsed field gel electrophoresis.     

The distribution, organization and evolution of two abundant and widespread repetitive DNA sequences in the genus Hordeum

The genomic organization and chromosomal distributions of two abundant tandemly repeated DNA sequences, dpTa1 and pSc119.2, were examined in six wild Hordeum taxa, representing the four basic genomes of the genus, by Southern and fluorescence in situ hybridization. The dpTa1 probe hybridized to between 30 and 60 sites on the chromosomes of all five diploid species studied, but hybridization patterns differed among the species. Hybridization of the pSc119.2 sequence to the chromosomes and Southern blots of digested DNA detected signals in Hordeum bulbosum, Hordeum chilense, Hordeum marinum and Hordeum murinum 4x, but not in Hordeum murinum 2x and Hordeum vulgare ssp. spontaneum. A maximum of one pSc119.2 signal was observed in the terminal or subterminal region of each chromosome arm in the species carrying this sequence. The species carrying the same I-genome differed in the presence (Hordeum bulbosum) or absence (Hordeum spontaneum) of pSc119.2. The presence of pSc119.2 in the tetraploid cytotype of Hordeum murinum, but its absence in the diploid cytotype, suggests that the tetraploid is not likely to be a simple autotetraploid of the diploid. Data about the inter- and intra-specific variation of the two independent repetitive DNA sequences give information about both the interrelationships of the species and the evolution of the repetitive sequences.

Comparative study on the chloroplast,mitochondrial and nuclear genome differentiation in two cultivated rice species,Oryza sativa and O. glaberrima,by RFLP analyses

Summary Restriction fragment length polymorphisms of chloroplast (ct), mitochondrial (mt) and nuclear DNA were investigated using eight cultivars of Oryza sativa and two cultivars of O. glaberrima. Relative variability in the nuclear and cytoplasmic genomes was estimated by a common measure, genetic distance. Based on the average genetic distances among ten cultivars for each genome, the evolutionary variabilities of the mitochondrial and nuclear genomes were found to be almost the same, whereas the variability of the chloroplast genome was less than half that of the other two genomes. Cluster analyses on ct and mt DNA variations revealed that chloroplast and mitochondrial genomes were conservative within a taxon and that their differentiations were well-paralleled with respect to each other. For nuclear DNA variation, an array of different degrees of differentiation was observed in O. sativa, in contrast with little variation in O. glaberrima. As a whole, differentiation between O. sativa and O. glaberrima was clearly observed in all three genomes. In O. sativa, no notable difference was found between the cultivars Japonica and Javanica, whereas a large differentiation was noticed between Japonica (including Javanica) and Indica. In all three genomes, the average genetic distances within Indica were much larger than those within Japonica (including Javanica), and almost similar between Japonica (including Javanica) and Indica. These facts indicate that differentiation in O. sativa was due mainly to Indica.     

野生稻DNA导入水稻后代的SSR检测分析

以宁夏地区水稻主栽品种‘宁粳16号’、‘宁粳23号’为受体,普通野生稻(Oryza rufipogon,2n=2x=24, AA)为供体,利用花粉管通道导人法与茎注射法相结合的导入方法,将普通野生稻DNA导入宁夏水稻栽培品种, 对筛选出的21份形态、农艺性状典型变异的D2代材料及其对照利用SSR分子标记进行分子鉴定,结果表明,有 17份变异材料扩增出野生稻特有的DNA片段,而2个对照均不能扩增出野生稻特异的DNA片段,证明这些材料就是野生稻DNA片段导入的后代。另外有些材料出现受体DNA条带的减少,可能是由于野生稻DNA片段整合到水稻基因组中该引物结合位点或附近,原有的结合位点破坏而造成的。     

基于大样本数据的中国水稻扇型植硅体形态特征研究

水稻扇型植硅体在水稻起源研究中起着重要的作用,但由于野生稻和栽培稻扇型植硅体的区分存在不确定性,限制了扇型植硅体在早期稻作研究中的应用。本研究通过对植硅体大样本数据的统计分析得出:扇型植硅体长宽大小趋势是,普通野生稻大于栽培稻,粳稻大于籼稻;普通野生稻B/A显著大于栽培稻,粳稻B/A又显著小于籼稻。水稻扇型植硅体的长(VL)与宽(HL)呈现正相关的规律,扇型植硅体主要分布在VL<41μm和HL<39μm与VL>41μm和HL>39μm的区间内;在遗址水稻鉴定中,如发掘的扇型植硅体中多数B/A小于等于1.20就有很大可能是粳稻;如B/A大于1.2,可再根据扇型植硅体的大小区分野生稻和籼稻,多数植硅体在VL<41μm和HL<39μm的区间内可能是籼稻,在VL>41μm和HL>39μm的区间内则可能是普通野生稻。

普通野生稻(Oryza Rufipogon)是重要的遗传资源,发掘其优良等位基因将对水稻遗传改良产生重要影响。文章从以珍汕97为轮回亲本,普通野生稻为供体的BC2F1群体中选择一个与珍汕97表型明显不同的单株BC2F1-15,经过连续自交获得回交重组自交系BC2F5群体。均匀分布于12条染色体的126个多态性SSR(Simplesequence repeats)标记基因型分析,发现BC2F1-15单株在30%的标记位点为杂合基因型;利用该群体共检测到4个抽穗期、3个株高、4个每穗颖花数、2个千粒重和1个单株产量QTL。在第7染色体RM481-RM2区间,检测到抽穗期、每穗颖花数和产量QTL,野生稻等位基因表现增效作用;其他3个每穗颖花数QTL位点,野生稻等位基因也均具有增效作用。结果表明野生稻携带有增产相关的等位基因,这些有利等位基因无疑是水稻遗传改良可资利用的新资源。     

Isolation and identification of a non-specific tandemly repeated DNA sequence in Oryza species

A tandemly repeated DNA sequence (RRS7) was isolated from Oryza alta (CCDD). RRS7-related sequences were also found tandemly arrayed in genomes AA, BB, BBCC, CC, and EE, and a small amount of RRS7-related sequences were detected in genome FF and the Oryza species with unknown genomes. DNA sequence analysis of the 1844-bp insert of RRS7 revealed that it contained six tandemly repeated units, of which five were 155 bp in length and one was 194 bp in length and contained an imperfect internal 39-bp duplication. Southern blot analysis showed that the boundary sequence contained in RRS7 is a single-copy sequence. A 155-bp consensus sequence derived from the six monomeric repeats contained no internal repeat and showed no significant homology to other currently known sequences. The results of Southern blot and sequence analysis revealed that there are at least two subfamilies present in the RRS7 family; these are represented by the DraI site and the MspI site, respectively. Restriction digestion with two pairs of isoschizomers MboI/Sau3A and MspI/HpaII demonstrated that most of the C residues in the GATC sites and the internal C in the CCGG sites of the RRS7 family in O. Alta were methylated. The usefulness of the RRS7 family in determining the evolutionary relationship of the genome DD and other Oryza genomes is discussed.

Analysis of QTLs for yield-related traits in Yuanjiang common wild rice （Oryza rufipogon Griff.）

Using an accession of common wild rice(Oryza rufipogon Griff.)collected from Yunnjiang County,Yunnan Province,China,as the donor and an elite cnltivar 93-11,widely used in two-line indica hybrid rice production in China,as the recurrent parent,an advanced backcross populations were developed.Through genotyping of 187 SSR markers and investigation of six yield-related traits of two generations(BC4F2 and BC4F4),a total of 26 QTLs were detected by employing single point analysis and interval mapping in both generations.Of the 26 QTLs,the alleles of 10(38.5%)QTLs originating from O.rufipogon had shown a beneficial effect for yield-related traits in the 93-11 genetic background.In addition,five QTLs controlling yield and its components were newly identified,indicating that there arc potentially novel alleles in Yuanjiang common wild rice.Three regions underling significant QTLs for several yield-related traits were detected on chromosome 1,7 and 12.The QTL clusters were founded and corresponding agronomic traits of those QTLs showed highly significant correlation,suggesting the pleiotropism or tight linkage.Fine-mapping and cloning of these yield-related QTLs from wild rice would be helpful to elucidating molecular mechanism of rice domestication and rice breeding in the future.
