Modeling segregation distortion for viability selection I. Reconstruction of linkage maps with distorted markers

Molecular markers have been widely used to map quantitative trait loci (QTL). The QTL mapping partly relies on accurate linkage maps. The non-Mendelian segregation of markers, which affects not only the estimation of genetic distance between two markers but also the order of markers on a same linkage group, is usually observed in QTL analysis. However, these distorted markers are often ignored in the real data analysis of QTL mapping so that some important information may be lost. In this paper, we developed a multipoint approach via Hidden Markov chain model to reconstruct the linkage maps given a specified gene order while simultaneously making use of distorted, dominant and missing markers in an F₂ population. The new method was compared with the methods in the MapManager and Mapmaker programs, respectively, and verified by a series of Monte Carlo simulation experiments along with a working example. Results showed that the adjusted linkage maps can be used for further QTL or segregation distortion locus (SDL) analysis unless there are strong evidences to prove that all markers show normal Mendelian segregation.     

植物杂交后代中基因偏分离的产生原因及其进化意义

在天然杂交-渐渗的过程中,来自双亲的等位基因在后代的不均等分布导致偏分离的产生。大量研究表明,偏分离在自然界中广泛存在。但是目前的研究主要集中在遗传连锁图谱构建过程中发现的偏分离现象及导致偏分离的原因,很少有研究关注偏分离带来的基因频率或基因型频率变化对进化产生的影响。本文介绍了导致偏分离的主要因素,如基因相互作用、双亲间遗传分化、细胞质遗传和环境影响等,分析了偏分离的进化意义,认为偏分离的产生对群体进化潜力、性别比例、遗传多样性及维持分化稳定性等方面具有重要的影响。在未来的研究中,应关注转基因进入野生近缘种群体后通过偏分离对群体长期进化潜力的影响,以及偏分离现象在群体世代间有何变化等内容。     

凡纳滨对虾微卫星位点在两个选育家系中遗传的初步研究

利用两个选育凡纳滨对虾全同胞家系研究了10个微卫星位点的遗传特征。通过ABI310或3100测序仪检测, 在所观察到的20个基因型比例（genotypic ratios）(10个微卫星位点 X 2个家系)中,有17个基因型比例符合孟德尔遗传。微卫星位点TUMXLv8.220在两个家系中均存在无效等位基因,从而3个不符合孟德尔遗传基因型中2个可由无效等位基因来解释。TUMXLv 3.1在06家系偏离了1：1：1：1的孟德尔预期比。3个微卫星位点（TUMXLv5.66,TUMXLv7.74,TUMXLv8.224）在两个家系中均表现单态。3个微卫星位点（TUMXLv5.45,TUMXLv7.56,TUMXLv8.256）在两个家系均既表现多态又遵循孟德尔共显性遗传, 是亲子鉴定和种群遗传分析的较好选择。结果显示在应用微卫星标记进行遗传分析之前利用全同胞家系进行遗传模式研究是非常必要的。     

病理性近视的家系研究

为了探讨我国病理性近视的遗传模式,对90个病理性近视大家系进行了分离分析。简单分离分析采用先验法和SEGRAN-B软件,进行拟合优度卡方检验,比较实际分离比与理论分离比的符合程度;复合分离分析运用SAGE-REGD软件进行孟德尔遗传模型(主基因、显性、隐性、共显性)和非孟德尔遗传模型(非传递、环境、一般)的拟合。结果显示,婚配类型为A*N的家系符合常染色体显性遗传,散发概率为13．8％,婚配类型为N*N的家系符合常染色体隐性遗传,散发概率为16．3％,但常染色体显性遗传不能除外,复合分离分析接受孟德尔遗传的显性、隐性、共显性和主基因模型,共显性模型的可能性最大,基因频率为0．21442999。因此,我国病理性近视存在常染色体显性和隐性遗传模式,并有一定比例的散发病例,具有遗传异质性。     

Assessing the genetic diversity in Argopecten nucleus (Bivalvia: Pectinidae), a functional hermaphrodite species with extremely low population density and self‐fertilization: Effect of null alleles

Argopecten nucleus is a functional hermaphroditic pectinid species that exhibits self‐fertilization, whose natural populations have usually very low densities. In the present study, the genetic diversity of a wild population from Neguanje Bay, Santa Marta (Colombia), was estimated using microsatellite markers, and the effect of the presence of null alleles on this estimation was assessed. A total of 8 microsatellite markers were developed, the first described for this species, and their amplification conditions were standardized. They were used to determine the genotype of 48 wild individuals from Naguanje Bay, and 1,010 individuals derived from the offspring of 38 directed crosses. For each locus, the frequencies of the identified alleles, including null alleles, were estimated using the statistical package Micro‐Checker, and the parental genotypes were confirmed using segregation analysis. Three to 8 alleles per locus with frequencies from 0.001 to 0.632 were detected. The frequencies of null alleles ranged from 0.10 to 0.45, with Ho from 0.0 to 0.79, and He from 0.53 to 0.80. All loci were in H‐W disequilibrium. The null allele frequencies values were high, with lower estimations using segregation analysis than estimated using Micro‐Checker. The present results show high levels of population genetic diversity and indicate that null alleles were not the only cause of deviation from H‐W equilibrium in all loci, suggesting that the wild population under study presents signs of inbreeding and Wahlund effect.     

Segregation analysis of random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) markers in Picea abies Karst.

The reliability of arbitrarily primed amplification products was tested. The segregation analysis of 266 amplification products obtained using 17 different 10-mer oligonucleotides in 34 megagametophytes from a single tree of Picea abies was carried out. Fifty-four out of the 165 variable bands fit the 1:1 segregation ratio expected for Mendelian traits. The segregation ratio of a subset of six RAPD markers in five other individuals from the same population confirmed their genetic nature. Our results strengthen the evidence previously reported that RAPDs markers can be considered Mendelian traits useful in the detection of genetic variability among both different individuals and populations.     

Transmission ratio distortion in intraspecific hybrids of Mimulus guttatus: implications for genomic divergence

We constructed a genetic linkage map between two divergent populations of Mimulus guttatus. We genotyped an F(2) mapping population (N = 539) at 154 AFLP, microsatellite, and gene-based markers. A framework map was constructed consisting of 112 marker loci on 14 linkage groups with a total map length of 1518 cM Kosambi. Nearly half of all markers (48%) exhibited significant transmission ratio distortion (alpha = 0.05). By using a Bayesian multipoint mapping method and visual inspection of significantly distorted markers, we detected 12 transmission ratio distorting loci (TRDL) throughout the genome. The high degree of segregation distortion detected in this intraspecific map indicates substantial genomic divergence that perhaps suggests genomic incompatibilities between these two populations. We compare the pattern of transmission ratio distortion in this map to an interspecific map constructed between M. guttatus and M. nasutus. A similar level of segregation distortion is detected in both maps. Collinear regions between maps are compared to determine if there are shared genetic patterns of non-Mendelian segregation distortion within and among Mimulus species.     

The potential of Prunus davidiana for introgression into peach [Prunus persica (L.) Batsch] assessed by comparative mapping

The potential for introgression of Prunus davidiana, a wild species related to peach, was evaluated with respect to problems of non-Mendelian segregation or suppressed recombination which often hamper breeding processes based on interspecific crosses. Three connected (F1, F2 and BC2) populations, derived from a cross between P. davidiana clone P1908 and the peach cultivar Summergrand were used. The intraspecific map of P. davidiana already established using the F1 progeny was complemented, and two interspecific maps, for the F2 and BC2 progenies, were built with a set of markers selected from the Prunus reference map. With the molecular data collected for the F2 map construction, regions with distorted marker segregation were detected on the genome; one third of all loci deviated significantly from the expected Mendelian ratios. However, some of these distorted segregations were probably not due to the interspecific cross. On linkage group 6, a skewed area under gametic selection was most likely influenced by the self-incompatibility gene of P. davidiana. Using anchor loci, a good colinearity between the three maps built and the Prunus reference map was demonstrated. Comparative mapping also revealed that homologous recombination occurred normally between P. davidiana and the Prunus persica genome. This confirmed the closeness of the two species. Higher recombination rates were generally observed between P. davidiana and P. persica than between Prunus amygdalus and P. persica. The consequences for plant breeding strategy are discussed. The three maps of the F1, F2 and BC2 progenies provide useful tools for QTL detection and marker-assisted selection, as well as for assessing the efficiency of the peach breeding scheme applied to introgress P. davidiana genes into peach cultivated varieties.     

Parental origin-dependent, male offspring-specific transmission-ratio distortion at loci on the human X chromosome.

We have analyzed the transmission of maternal alleles at loci spanning the length of the X chromosome in 47 normal, genetic disease-free families. We found a significant deviation from the expected Mendelian 1:1 ratio of grandpaternal:grandmaternal alleles at loci in Xp11.4-p21.1. The distortion in inheritance ratio was found only among male offspring and was manifested as a strong bias in favor of the inheritance of the alleles of the maternal grandfather. We found no evidence for significant heterogeneity among the families, which implies that the major determinant involved in the generation of the non-Mendelian ratio is epigenetic. Our analysis of recombinant chromosomes inherited by male offspring indicates that an 11.6-cM interval on the short arm of the X chromosome, bounded by DXS538 and DXS7, contains an imprinted gene that affects the survival of male embryos.     

两例水稻极端异常分离现象的遗传分析

遗传异常分离既是自然界非常普遍的现象, 也是生物进化的动力之一。产生异常分离的原因可能与配子体或孢子体的选择有关。利用6个以类病变(lmi)和矮杆突变体(d6)为亲本的杂交组合(F2或F3), 对该类病变和矮杆基因的遗传规律及异常分离现象作初步的分析。结果显示, lmi×02428和d6×93-11的F2群体以及F3株系中存在极端异常分离的现象; LMI基因附近的分子标记ST8-1和D6基因附近的ST7-1、ST7-2、RM5490的带型分离同样也极显著偏离期望比; 偏分离因子与类病斑LMI和矮杆基因D6紧密连锁, 分别位于第8染色体分子标记ST8和ST8-2之间以及第7染色体分子标记ST7-1和ST7-3之间。异常分离现象还与杂交的组合有直接的关系。     

无核荔枝胚胎发育时期蛋白质图谱分析

通过二维聚丙烯酰胺凝胶电泳(2DE)以及计算机辅助的图像分析技术,对荔枝开花后20d的正常与败育胚蛋白质图谱进行了初步分析。结果表明,正常胚总蛋白质斑点数为129,败育胚总蛋白质斑点数为130,其中24个蛋白质点在两种胚中的表达丰度没有明显变化,35个蛋白质点在表达丰度上有明显差异,55%的蛋白则发生了蛋白质缺失、增加以及位置改变等变化。这两种蛋白质组的表达差异说明了胚内蛋白质成分在其败育过程中发生了变化,这些蛋白可能参与了胚败育的调节和控制。

Cell wall organisation in Chlamydomonas reinhardi

Summary Among a series of mutants regulating wall formation, two exhibit both Mendelian and non-Mendelian segregation patterns on crossing with wild type. In addition each, on crossing with an identical mutant, frequently gives wild type and pseudo-wild type forms. Diploid wild types can be generated by fusing two identical haploid mutants. The results of genetic analyses indicated that extra-nuclear information is involved in the regulation of wall formation; this is usually stable in vegetative cells but can be renewed at the diploid spore stage. The degree of autonomy of the extra-nuclear system is considered, and the possibility of its being ultimately based on nuclear information discussed.     

A genetic map of tomato based on BC(1) Lycopersicon esculentum x Solanum lycopersicoides reveals overall synteny but suppressed recombination between these homeologous genomes

F(1) hybrids between the cultivated tomato (Lycopersicon esculentum) and the wild nightshade Solanum lycopersicoides are male sterile and unilaterally incompatible, breeding barriers that impede further crosses to tomato. Meiosis is disrupted in 2x hybrids, with reduced chiasma formation and frequent univalents, but is normal in allotetraploid hybrids, indicating the genomes are homeologous. In this study, a partially male-fertile F(1) was backcrossed to tomato, producing the first BC(1) population suitable for genetic mapping from this cross. BC(1) plants were genotyped at marker loci to study the transmission of wild alleles and to measure rates of homeologous recombination. The pattern of segregation distortion, in favor of homozygotes on chromosomes 2 and 5 and heterozygotes on chromosomes 6 and 9, suggested linkage to a small number of loci under selection on each chromosome. Genome ratios nonetheless fit Mendelian expectations. Resulting genetic maps were essentially colinear with existing tomato maps but showed an overall reduction in recombination of approximately 27%. Recombination suppression was observed for all chromosomes except 9 and 12, affected both proximal and distal regions, and was most severe on chromosome 10 (70% reduction). Recombination between markers on the long arm of this chromosome was completely eliminated, suggesting a lack of colinearity between S. lycopersicoides and L. esculentum homeologues in this region. Results are discussed with respect to phylogenetic relationships between the species and their potential use for studies of homeologous pairing and recombination in a diploid plant genome.     

种子植物的选择性败育及其进化生态意义

种子植物的选择性败育是指植株在花粉源、传粉次序、果实在植株上的位置和发育果实中的种子数目等因素或者这些因素综合作用的基础上对发育中的幼果或种子选择性败育的现象。植株可以选择性地败育位于果序顶部或基部的果实以及位于果实基部、中部或柱头端的种子。此现象在被子植物中比较普遍,特别是在豆科、十字花科和紫草科中最为常见。导致植物选择性败育的主要原因主要有资源限制和遗传因子两个方面。植物通过选择性败育部分自交或基因型较差的果实或种子,不仅可以提高母本和后代的适合度,而且还可以提高果实或种子的扩散效率。因此,对选择性败育的研究在深入了解植物的结实结籽格局、探讨其进化式样与机制等方面具有重要意义。该文系统总结了国际上有关植物选择性败育的研究工作,重点介绍了选择性败育发生的式样、导致选择性败育的因素、选择性败育的进化生态意义,以及目前研究选择性败育现象的主要方法,并对该领域今后研究前景进行了展望。     

Polyandry, life-history trade-offs and the evolution of imprinting at Mendelian loci

Genomic imprinting causes parental origin-dependent differential expression of a small number of genes in mammalian and angiosperm plant embryos, resulting in non-Mendelian inheritance of phenotypic traits. The "conflict" theory of the evolution of imprinting proposes that reduced genetic relatedness of paternally, relative to maternally, derived alleles in offspring of polygamous females supports parental sex-specific selection at gene loci that influence maternal investment. While the theory's physiological predictions are well supported by observation, the requirement of polyandry in the evolution of imprinting from an ancestral Mendelian state has not been comprehensively analyzed. Here, we use diallelic models to examine the influence of various degrees of polyandry on the evolution of both Mendelian and imprinted autosomal gene loci that influence trade-offs between maternal fecundity and offspring viability. We show that, given a plausible assumption on the physiological relationship between maternal fecundity and offspring viability, low levels of polyandry are sufficient to reinforce exclusively the fixation of "greedy" paternally imprinted alleles that increase offspring viability at the expense of maternal fecundity and "thrifty" maternally imprinted alleles of opposite effect. We also show that, for all levels of polyandry, Mendelian alleles at genetic loci that influence the trade-off between maternal fecundity and offspring viability reach an evolutionary stable state, whereas pairs of reciprocally imprinted alleles do not.     

Common features of segregation distortion in plants and animals

Segregation distortion is increasingly recognized as a potentially powerful evolutionary force. This runs counter to the perception that non-Mendelian genes are rare genetic curiosities, a view that seems to be supported by the near ubiquity of the Mendelian system of inheritance. There are several reasons why segregation distortion may be more important than is evidenced by known empirical examples. One possibility is that the types of segregation distorters we have found are only a subset of a broader range of non-Mendelian systems, many of which go undetected. In this paper, we review what is known about the sex-linked meiotic drive system in the plant, Silene latifolia, and present some data on the mechanism of segregation distortion. We outline the general features that segregation distorters in plants and animals have in common. In some cases, such as the paucity of systems that directly alter meiotic segregation, there are likely to be inherent constraints on the range of systems that can possibly occur. Other generalities, however, support the notion that many forms of meiotic drive are possible, and that the known examples of segregation distortion are likely to be only subset of those that can possibly occur. Non-Mendelian genes may therefore have greater evolutionary importance than their current abundance in nature would suggest.     

Characterization of 215 simple sequence repeat markers in creeping bentgrass (Agrostis stolonifera L.)

Creeping bentgrass (Agrostis stolonifera L.) is a versatile, cross-pollinated, temperate and perennial turfgrass species. It occurs naturally in a wide variety of habitats and is also cultivated on golf courses, bowling greens and tennis courts worldwide. Isozymes and amplified fragment length polymorphisms (AFLPs) have been used to determine genetic diversity, and restriction fragment length polymorphisms (RFLPs) and random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPDs) were used to construct a genetic linkage map of this species. In the current report, we developed and characterized 215 unique genomic simple sequence repeat (SSR) markers in creeping bentgrass. The SSRs reported here are the first available markers in creeping bentgrass to date. Eight hundred and eighteen alleles were amplified by 215 SSR loci, an average of 3.72 alleles per locus. Fifty-nine per cent of those alleles segregated in a 1:1 Mendelian fashion (P > 0.05). Twenty-two per cent had a distorted segregation ratio (P ≤ 0.05). These SSR markers will be useful for assessing genetic diversity in creeping bentgrass and will be important for the development of genetic linkage maps and identifying quantitative trait loci. These markers could enhance breeding programmes by improving the efficiency of selection techniques.     

Meiotic Behavior and Linkage Relationships in the Secondarily Homothallic Fungus Agaricus Bisporus

This study followed the transmission of 64 segregating genetic markers to 52 haploid offspring, obtained from both homokaryotic and heterokaryotic meiospores, of a cross (AG 93b) of Agaricus bisporus, the commonly cultivated ``button mushroom.' The electrophoretic karyotypes of the AG 93b component nuclei were determined concurrently (n = 13). Eleven distinct linkage groups were identified by two-point analysis. DNA-DNA hybridization showed that nine of these corresponded to unique chromosome-sized DNAs. Two other chromosomal DNAs were marked with nonsegregating markers, including the rDNA repeat. Two remaining chromosomes remained unmarked but hybridized to repeated-sequence probes. Cross 93b had an essentially conventional meiosis in which both independent assortment and joint segregation of markers occurred, but in which crossing over was infrequent over much of the mapped genome. The 48 homokaryotic spore-offspring had overall crossover frequencies that were similar to, but possibly slightly less than, those of three homokaryon constituents of heterokaryotic spore-offspring. These data provide support for our earlier cytogenetic model of sporogenesis in A. bisporus, that explains why heterokaryotic spore-offspring usually appear to exhibit no recombination. No evidence favoring an alternative, mitotic model of sporogenesis was found. The resulting genetic map appears to survey the genome extensively and for the first time permits localization of loci determining economically important traits in this fungal crop species. Large differences in the vigor of homokaryotic offspring were correlated with the inheritance of certain chromosome segments and were also often associated with significant departures from Mendelian segregation ratios.
