向日葵种质资源的随机扩增多态性ＤＮＡ（ＲＡＰＤ）研究

采用ＲＡＰＤ方法对我国２１个向日葵（Helianthus annuus L.)基因型和１１个国外引进向日葵因型进行分析,构建了它们的方图谱。从８０个随机引物中筛选出的２５个有效引物共产生１８８条ＤＮＡ片段,大小分布在０．２６－１．９８kb之间,其中１６４例带具有遗传多态性,约占总数的８７．２％,平均每个引物扩增的ＤＮＡ带数为７．５２条。３２个向日葵的遗传相似性分析表明,各基因型间的Ｎei氏相似性系数分布在０．３９８７．０８５３１之间,平均相似性系数为０．６２８１。１１个国外向日葵基因型的Ｎei氏相似性系数分布在０．７１３４－０．８５３１之间,平均相似性系数为０．７８２８,说明国外基因型之间的遗传基础比较狭窄。２１个国内向日葵基因型的Ｎei氏相似性系数分布在０．４７５０－０．８２０６,平均相似性系数为０．６４７８,说明国内向日葵基因型之间的遗传多态性较为丰富。通过非加权算术平均数聚类（ＵＰＧＭＡ）的方法,给制了３２个向日葵基因型之间的遗传关系树图。３２个向日葵基因明显地聚成Ａ、Ｂ两大类群。２１个国内向日葵基因型聚成了Ａ１、Ａ２两个亚类,Ａ１组包括：Ｘ１０、陕西向日葵、Ｄ－Ｓ１２、长岭向日葵６、黑２－Ｓ２－２、Ｔ－Ｃ０８、长岭葵花４、白葵３号、ＢＨ－１０、Ｊ－Ｓ－Ｂ１、张掖白子葵、Ｃ１０１－Ｓ４－３Ｓ４等１２个基因型;Ａ２组包括：ＬＫ３０５－Ｓ８、ＬＫ、ＣＳ－７、长岭葵花Ｓ２－Ｓ２、辉南７－Ｓ１－３、辉南、ＣＹ－ＸＸ１９－ＸＸ２、吉葵１１２、吉葵１１６等９个基因型。１１个国外向日葵基因型划分为Ｂ１、Ｂ２两个亚类,Ｂ１组包括ＬＧ１２０２８Ｑ、ＬＧ９０２３Ｒ、ＣＲＮ１４３、ＳＦ９９０３、ＳＦ９９０２、Ｓ－３３２２、ＳＨ３３２、ＳＨ４１、ＳＦＰ９００１、ＣＲＮ１４４５等１０个法国基因型;Ｂ２组织有来自美国的Ｇ１０１一个材料。     

A Proteomic Strategy for Global Analysis of Plant Protein Complexes

Global analyses of protein complex assembly, composition, and location are needed to fully understand how cells coordinate diverse metabolic, mechanical, and developmental activities. The most common methods for proteome-wide analysis of protein complexes rely on affinity purification-mass spectrometry or yeast two-hybrid approaches. These methods are time consuming and are not suitable for many plant species that are refractory to transformation or genome-wide cloning of open reading frames. Here, we describe the proof of concept for a method allowing simultaneous global analysis of endogenous protein complexes that begins with intact leaves and combines chromatographic separation of extracts from subcellular fractions with quantitative label-free protein abundance profiling by liquid chromatography-coupled mass spectrometry. Applying this approach to the crude cytosolic fraction of Arabidopsis thaliana leaves using size exclusion chromatography, we identified hundreds of cytosolic proteins that appeared to exist as components of stable protein complexes. The reliability of the method was validated by protein immunoblot analysis and comparisons with published size exclusion chromatography data and the masses of known complexes. The method can be implemented with appropriate instrumentation, is applicable to any biological system, and has the potential to be further developed to characterize the composition of protein complexes and measure the dynamics of protein complex localization and assembly under different conditions.

Why the Indian Subcontinent Holds the Key to Global Tiger Recovery

With only ~3,000 wild individuals surviving restricted to just 7% of their historical range, tigers are now a globally threatened species. Therefore, conservation efforts must prioritize regions that harbor more tigers, as well try to capture most of the remaining genetic variation and habitat diversity. Only such prioritization based on demographic, genetic, and ecological considerations can ensure species recovery and retention of evolutionary flexibility in the face of ongoing global changes. Although scientific understanding of ecological and demographic aspects of extant wild tiger populations has improved recently, little is known about their genetic composition and variability. We sampled 73 individual tigers from 28 reserves spread across a diversity of habitats in the Indian subcontinent to obtain 1,263 bp of mitochondrial DNA and 10 microsatellite loci. Our analyses reveals that Indian tigers retain more than half of the extant genetic diversity in the species. Coalescent simulations attribute this high genetic diversity to a historically large population size of about 58,200 tigers for peninsular India south of the Gangetic plains. Furthermore, our analyses indicate a precipitous, possibly human-induced population crash ~200 years ago in India, which is in concordance with historical records. Our results suggest that only 1.7% (with an upper limit of 13% and a lower limit of 0.2%) of tiger numbers in historical times remain now. In the global conservation context our results suggest that, based on genetic, demographic, and ecological considerations, the Indian subcontinent holds the key to global survival and recovery of wild tigers.

羊草种质基因组DNA的AFLP多态性研究

羊草是禾本科牧草之王,在当前我国西部生态建设和草原畜牧业发展中发挥着重要作用.用AFLP方法对27份我国不同地区分布的羊草(Leymus chinensis (Trin.) Tzvel)材料进行了基因组DNA多态性分析,8对AFLP引物组合在27个不同羊草基因型中共扩增出537条带,产生出的DNA片段大小分布在75 bp-530 bp之间.其中单态性带89条,占16.6%,多态性带329条,占61.3%.平均每对引物组合扩增的DNA带数为66.13,总的多态性比率为78.84%.AFLP多态信息含量PIC值分布于0.0-0.5之间,平均PIC值为0.216,出现的PIC最大值(0.5)约占AFLP标记的8.5%,说明羊草基因组DNA的多态性比较丰富.以537个AFLP标记为原始数据,根据Nei和Li的方法对27份羊草材料进行遗传变异和聚类分析的结果表明:羊草种内有高频率的遗传变异发生,且与地理分布和生态环境密切相关;27份羊草不同基因型被划分为四大类群,不同类群相互间的遗传距离相对较大,在树状图中表现为较远的亲缘关系.对羊草种内遗传变异发生的原因和品种的形成进行了初步讨论.
