系统发生分析发现牛病毒性腹泻病病毒新基因亚型

本研究对我国首次分离获得的牛源牛病毒性腹泻病毒(BVDV)毒株Changchun 184(CC-184)和猪源牛病毒 性腹泻病毒ZM-95进行了遗传衍化关系研究。选择主要抗原E2基因为研究对象,首先应用RT-PCR及套式PCR 克隆得到CC-184和ZM-95的E2片段,通过序列测定发现CC-184和ZM-95 E2基因长度分别为1,122bp和1, 125bp,各自编码374和375个氨基酸残基。核酸序列同源性比较和系统发生分析表明2株病毒均属于BVDV-1, CC-184与Osloss亲缘关系最近,都属于已有的b基因亚型,其E2基因同源性达91．8％。而ZM-95的E2基因有 一个特征性的变异区,包含一个密码子序列插入,这一变异区编码了一段有别于其他瘟病毒的五肽氨基酸序列 HYKKK。结果还表明ZM-95与BVDV-1现有的5个基因亚型的亲缘关系均较远,E2基因同源性最高(与Oregon c24v)只有72．4％。而BVDV-1亚型内毒株间的同源性大于85％,亚型间的同源性在69％～75％之间,充分说明 ZM-95是BVDV-1中一个新发现的基因亚型。通常认为猪源BVDV来源于牛,应该与牛源BVDV有十分近的遗 传关系,但是本研究发现ZM-95与其他已知牛源BVDV较低的基因同源性说明猪源BVDV还具有独立的遗传衍 化与传播来源的可能性。

川陕哲罗鲑Cyt b基因克隆及其在鲑亚科中的系统发育关系

采用聚合酶链式反应克隆川陕哲罗鲑Hucho bleekeri线粒体细胞色素b基因 (Cyt b),首次报道该基因的全长序列(1140 bp,GenBank 登录号FJ597623),并与鲑亚科中其他5属14个物种的Cyt b基因进行同源性比较,分析了碱基组成和变异情况,以白鲑亚科的白鲑Coregonus lavaretus作为外群构建了ML、NJ和MP系统发育树.遗传距离和分子系统学分析表明,川陕哲罗鲑与细鳞鲑属的细鳞鱼Brachymystax lenok之间的遗传距离相对较小(8.47%),在系统发育树上两者聚在一起,提示川陕哲罗鲑与细鳞鱼存在较近的亲缘关系,该结果与以往的形态学分类不相符.     

POU1F1基因的遗传变异对南阳牛生长发育性状的影响

利用PCR-RFLP技术首次研究了南阳牛群体100个个体POU1F1基因多态性及其与体重、体尺等生长性状指标之间的相关性。结果表明,南阳牛群体POU1F1基因座的451bp的PCR产物被限制性酶Hinf Ⅰ消化后表现多态性,它们的等位基因A／B频率为：0．465／0．535,且处于Hardy-Weinberg平衡状态。同时,南阳牛群体POU1F1-Hinf Ⅰ基因座不同基因型与体重、体尺等生长性状指标相关分析的结果表明：南阳牛群体内BB与AB基因型个体在初生重、断奶前平均日增重、六月龄体重、体斜长和胸围以及十二月龄的体重、体高、体斜长和胸围指标上有显著差异,且BB〉AB（P〈0．05）;群体内BB型个体在十二月龄体重指标上显著高于群体的AA型个体,即BB〉AA（P〈0.05）,在其他各年龄段的各项体重和体尺指标上同样呈现出B等位基因高于A等位基因的一种趋势。初步认为BB基因型为优势基因型,相应地B为优势等位基因,对选择有正向效应,提示POU1F1基因的占等位基因可能与高生长发育性状有关。

Using image-analysis to quantify the horizontal vegetation pattern in two multi-species savanna grasslands

Spatial patterns in natural vegetations result to a large extent from competitive interactions between neighbouring plants. Pattern analyses techniques are often used to estimate the importance of competitive interactions between plants. In this study, we used pattern analysis techniques, based upon image-analyses, to estimate the importance of competitive interactions for maintaining the spatial pattern of neighbouring perennial grasses in natural savanna populations in Zimbabwe.The results of the different methods used, including nearest-neighbour and non-overlapping domain analysis, suggest that competitive interactions between neighbouring tufts play a limited role in maintaining the spatial pattern in these savanna grasslands.Methodological features and the usefulness of pattern analysis techniques to estimate competition between neighbouring plants in natural vegetations are discussed.     

Phylogenetic analyses of pandemic influenza A (H1N1) virus in university students at Tobetsu, Hokkaido, Japan

Pandemic influenza H1N1 virus (A[H1N1]pdm09) emerged in 2009. To determine the phylogeography of A(H1N1)pdm09 in a single population, 70 strains of the virus were isolated from university students or trainee doctors at Tobetsu, Hokkaido, Japan, between September and December 2009. The nucleotide sequences of the HA1 region of the HA genes and described phylogenetic relationships of the strains circulating among them were analyzed. It was found that the 70 isolates could be phylogenetically separated into three groups and that two epidemics were caused by different groups of the virus. The three groups were also distinguishable from each other by three amino acid changes: A197T, S203T and Q293H. The substitution of S203T, which is located in the antigenic site, suggests antigenic drift of the virus.     

牛黑素皮质素受体1(MCIR)基因与毛色表型的研究

牛MC1R基因不仅与毛色有关,而且与牛乳中乳蛋白的含量有关。利用PCR-RFLP和DNA测序技术分析了中国荷斯坦黑白花牛,中国荷斯坦红白花牛,鲁西黄牛和渤海黑牛共4个品种的MC1R基因。共检测出3种等位基因(ED,E ,e)。中国荷斯坦黑白花牛主要是ED和E 等位基因(ED=0.12、E =0.80);渤海黑牛也主要是ED和E 等位基因(ED=0.52、E =0.47);中国荷斯坦红白花牛和鲁西黄牛大多为e等位基因(e=0.95)。中国荷斯坦红白花牛和鲁西黄牛还存在E /e基因型。由此推测ED和E 等位基因导致黑色素合成。另外发现牛MC1R基因编码区725处存在一重要的SNP(单核苷酸多态性)。     

Evolutionary relationships among hares from North Africa (Lepus sp. or Lepus spp.), cape hares (L. capensis) from South Africa, and brown hares (L. europaeus), as inferred from mtDNA PCR-RFLP and allozyme data

Systematics and taxonomy of hares of the genus Lepus (Lagomorpha) are under contentious debate, and phylogenetic relationships among many taxa are not well understood. Here we study genetic differentiation and evolutionary relationships among North African hares, currently considered subspecies of Lepus capensis , cape hares ( L. capensis ) from the Cape province in South Africa, and brown hares ( L. europeaus ) from Europe and Anatolia, using maternally (mtDNA) and biparentally (allozymes) inherited markers. A polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP) analysis of a c. 1.8 kb long segment of the mitochondrial control region using eight hexanucleotide-recognizing restriction endonucleases yielded 28 haplotypes, and horizontal starch gel electrophoresis of proteins encoded by 25 structural gene loci revealed 52 alleles at 18 polymorphic loci. Diverse phylogenetic analyses (neighbor joining dendrogram, median joining network, multidimensional scaling of pairwise distances, AMOVA, F -statistics, hierarchical F -statistics) of genetic variants revealed marked substructuring of mtDNA into three phylogeographic groups, namely an African, a central European, and an Anatolian, but a somewhat less pronounced overall differentiation of the nuclear genome, despite a relatively high number of population-specific (private) alleles. However, all our results are not incongruent with Petter's (1959: Mammalia 23 , 41; 1961: Z. f. Säugetierkunde 26 , 30; 1972 : Société Des Sciences Naturelles et Physiques du Maroc 52 , 122) hypothesis that North African hares generally belong to L. capensis and that brown hares should be included in this species as well.

Establishing the genetic relationships between the wild and cultivated olives using a nuclear intron from nitrate reductase (nia-i3)

In Oleaceae the most outstanding biological issue is to clarify the taxonomic relationships of cultivated and wild olives. To establish the genetic relationships between the wild (Olea europaea subsp. europaea var. sylvestris (Mill.) Lehr.), the cultivated olive (Olea europaea subsp. europaea var. europaea), and other taxa of the genus Olea (Olea europaea subsp. cuspidata (Wall. ex G. Don) Cif., Olea europaea subsp. cerasiformis G. Kunkel & Sunding, Olea paniculata R. Br.) and other Oleaceae (represented by Ligustrum vulgaris) we carried out the amplification by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and the sequencing of the third nuclear intron of the nitrate reductase gene (nia-i3). Sequence analyses showed the presence of two different functional variants of the intron (nia1 and nia2) in the Oleaceae, in addition to a shorter non-functional one. Notably, while the shortest and the nia1 variants were present in all the taxa analysed, the nia2 variant was present only in the wild and the cultivated olive. These data confirm the close phylogenetic relationship between wild and cultivated olives and suggest that this gene could be duplicated in these two taxa after its divergence from the remaining Oleaceae. The presence of a target for AflII enzyme in nia2 and its absence in nia1 variant enables easy distinction by PCR-RFLP between, on the one hand, wild and cultivated olive, and on the other the remaining subspecies of the Olea europaea L. complex (O. e. subsp. cuspidata and O. e. subsp. cerasiformis) as well as other Oleaceae (O. paniculata, L. vulgaris L.). Additionally, nia1 sequences provide useful information about phylogeny of the wild and cultivated olives inside the genus Olea.
