植物叶绿体DNA

叶绿体是专营光合作用的细胞器。本世纪初已经证明叶斑现象是细胞质遗传的,因此认为叶绿体中很可能存在遗传物质,以后随着核酸检测技术的发展,予测叶绿体中存在DNA。1963年Sager和石田首先成功地从衣藻叶绿体中提取了DNA,接着证明叶绿体中也存在自身的转录,翻译系统。用以往经典遗传学方法很难适用于叶绿体DNA的遗传分析,因此几似没有进行。最近由于引入以重组DNA为主的新技术,叶绿体DNA的遗传分析才真正开始进行。本文主要是从DNA碱基顺序的水平讨论叶绿体基因的情况。

叶绿体DNA的限制性内切酶谱分析在植物系统分类学中的应用

业已证明,叶绿体DNA为一共轭闭合环状分子。绝大多数植物叶绿体DNA均含有一对反向重复序列。对于所有已检测过的植物,叶绿体基因组所编码的基因数量、基因组成和基因排列是基本一致的。这表明叶绿体DNA具有进化上的保守性。由于其进化上的保守性,叶绿体DNA常为研究层次较高的分类单位间(属间、科间、目间、纲间等)进化关系和进化历史提供较准确的信息。1976年,Vedel等首先建立了叶绿体DNA的内切酶谱分析方法,并将其应用于植物系统分类学中。Vedel等用限制酶ECoRI酶切从豌豆     

植物叶绿体与线粒体基因组DNA特异性比较研究

研究不同植物间叶绿体和线粒体基因组DNA的差异,探讨其在法庭科学中的应用价值.根据叶绿体和线粒体基因组DNA核苷酸序列的特点,分别设计了一系列相应的引物,经PCR扩增后,电泳鉴别不同的植物.结果表明在设计的一系列引物中,叶绿体基因组DNA的PCR产物差异不大,鉴别效果不明显;而线粒体基因DNA的PCR产物差异大,鉴别效果明显.因此以线粒体DNA为模板进行PCR扩增,在不同植物间存在良好的差异性,适合于不同植物间的鉴别,在法庭科学中具有实际应用价值.

油菜细胞质雄性不育系叶绿体DNA特异片段的分子克隆

采用高离子浓度缓冲液法分别提取油菜不育系及保持系的叶绿体DNA。经Sepharcse 4B柱层析纯化后,得到具有较高纯度的叶绿体DNA样品。将其分别用Eco RI、Bam HI、HimdHI、PstI和XhoI 5种限制性内切酶酶解,得到5种限制性内切酶图谱。其中除PstI图谱外,其它4种酶谱均显示出明显的两系间叶绿体DNA结构差异。以pBR 322为载体,分别克隆了不育系Bam HI图谱上的3个特异片段。得到的3个克隆,经克隆杂交及电泳分析后,证实分别带有上述3个目的片段。这些特异片段的特性及其与花粉育性的关系尚在研究中。     

茄科植物叶绿体基因组插入、缺失和核苷酸替代的发生方式及影响

摘要: 核苷酸替代和indels(插入、缺失统称)发生是进化的重要动力。以茄科植物为研究对象, 探讨茄属中番茄和马铃薯、烟草属中绒毛状烟草和普通烟草分化时叶绿体基因组indels和核苷酸替代的发生方式, 以及这两种突变对基因组造成的影响。结果显示: indels和核苷酸替代的发生都不是随意的。indels发生在A+T丰富的区域, 1 bp indels占据总数的30%以上, 大部分indels都为低于10 bp的较短片段。核苷酸替代表现出Ts(转换)/Tv(颠换)偏差, 但T→G, A→C颠换频率却明显增加。Ts/Tv比值出现种属特异性, 番茄和马铃薯比较时替代的Ts/Tv比值低于绒毛状烟草和普通烟草比较时Ts/Tv比值。不同物种替代的(A+T)/(G+C)比值有一定差异, 从而影响基因组的(G+C)%, 此比值的差异与形成物种的生长习性有一定的关系。

黑麦属种间叶绿体DNA的变异性和种系发生的关系

为了获得有关黑麦属种间关系、黑麦属与小麦属和山羊草属种系发牛关系的新资料,应用Ban HI等8种限制性核酸内切酶酶解黑麦属5个种的叶绿体DNA,进行琼脂糖凝胶电泳,分析其酶解图谱。结果表明,黑麦属种叶绿体基因组的大小与小麦属和山羊草属的叶绿体基因组非常相似。根据黑麦属5个种遗传距离的估算,并与小麦属和山羊草属已知叶绿体基因组间所观察到的遗传距离相比,黑麦属叶绿体基因组的分化很少;这些资料进一步证实黑麦属的近代起源;并表明黑麦属、小麦属和山羊草属间的亲缘关系是非常密切的。

叶绿体发育和光对小麦叶谷氨酰胺合成酶基因表达的影响

利用电镜、ＤＥＡＥ－纤维素柱层析技术和小麦叶谷氨酰胺合成酶（ＧＳ）酶活性测定,研究了小麦叶片不同发育梯度的叶绿体超微结构和ＧＳ同功酶活性之间的关系。结果表明,从叶基至叶尖,随着叶绿体的成熟,净光合率增加,ＧＳ活性增加。各发育阶段离体叶绿体的３Ｈ－Ｕｒａ,３Ｈ－Ｌｅｕ 掺入试验和ＧＳ的Ｎｏｒｔｈｅｒｎ ｂｌｏｔ表明,基部是基因表达活性最高的部位。ＧＳｍ ＲＮＡ 在叶绿体发育阶段最多,而ＧＳ酶活性则在成熟叶绿体的部位最高。对黄化苗进行光照,ＧＳｍ ＲＮＡ 和ＧＳ活性明显增加,７２小时达到正常绿苗同等水平。由此说明核编码的叶绿体ＧＳ基因为光调控基因,明显促进了叶绿体ＧＳ基因的转录,而后叶绿体ＧＳ合成量增加     

ORIGINS OF GENOTYPIC VARIATION IN NORTH AMERICAN DANDELIONS INFERRED FROM RIBOSOMAL DNA AND CHLOROPLAST DNA RESTRICTION ENZYME ANALYSIS

Restriction enzyme analysis of ribosomal DNA (rDNA) and chloroplast DNA (cpDNA) is used to assess the relative contribution of hybridization and mutation as sources of genotypic variation in weedy asexual dandelions, with focus on the dandelion flora of North America. Of 318 North American dandelions surveyed, 145 rDNA-cpDNA clones are detected. The combined rDNA-cpDNA genotypes show that most of the polymorphic rDNA and cpDNA restriction sites or lengths in these plants are also present in weedy asexual dandelions collected from natural populations in Europe and in asexual and diploid taxa (microspecies) chosen to represent diverse Eurasian members of the genus. However, of 222 combined rDNA-cpDNA genotypes found in 427 asexual plants surveyed, only 9 genotypes are found in both North American and Eurasian dandelions. Two rDNA and three cpDNA characters are unique to individual plants in North America and are consistent with mutational origins of genotypic variation in asexual lineages. But the array of genotypic diversity, characterized by different combinations of the rDNA and cpDNA characters, show that multiple hybridization events are a more important source of genotypic variation than mutation in the asexual polyploids. The rDNA and cpDNA data also indicate polyphyletic origin of several asexual Taraxacum taxa.     

ARE POPULATIONS ISLANDS? ANALYSIS OF CHLOROPLAST DNA VARIATION IN AQUILEGIA

The degree to which conspecific populations are interconnected via ongoing gene flow remains an important focus of evolutionary biology. One major difficulty in distinguishing ongoing gene flow from historical subdivision is that either process can generate similar estimates of apparent gene flow. Thus, gene flow estimates themselves are insufficient to distinguish between these alternatives. However, genetic data coupled with additional information about demography and distribution do allow a distinction to be made. Here we address the specific question, does gene flow link populations of Aquilegia? In a survey of a 525 B.P. chloroplast DNA fragment sampled from 251 individual plants from 18 populations of three taxa, five haplotypes were identified. No significant relationship between geographic distance and apparent gene flow between population pairs existed. Further, the estimated level of gene flow was entirely compatible with a historical subdivision of Aquilegia populations during the late Pleistocene or early Holocene. Therefore, these patterns of variation are due not to ongoing gene flow, but rather to historical association among populations. Thus Aquilegia populations may be considered as distinct evolutionary entities with regard to seed-mediated processes. As a result, comparative analysis of ecological traits undergoing potentially rapid evolution (e.g., life histories, mating systems, inbreeding depression) should be possible in these taxa.     

HYBRIDIZATION AND CHLOROPLAST DNA VARIATION IN A PINUS SPECIES COMPLEX FROM ASIA

Heterologous hybridization of chloroplast DNA (cpDNA) involving 30 endonucleaseprobe combinations was used to analyze cpDNA variation in multiple individuals and populations of Pinus tabulaeformis (Carr.), Pinus yunnanensis (Franchèt) and Pinus massoniana (Lamb.). Restriction fragment patterns detected by several combinations distinguished among the three species. The obtained cpDNA markers were subsequently used to examine cpDNA variation of Pinus densata (Masters), a putative tertiary hybrid between P. tabulaeformis and P. yunnanensis. The analysis demonstrated that P. densata populations harbor three different haplotypes. Two of these haplotypes are characteristic of P. tabulaeformis and P. yunnanensis. However, the third haplotype found in P. densata appears to be absent in other extant Asian Pinus species. It is suggested that the observed cpDNA composition of P. densata populations is a result of past hybridization involving P. tabulaeformis, P. yunnanensis, and a third unknown or extinct taxon. Chloroplast DNA polymorphism in P. densata was much greater than that for nuclear allozyme markers in this and the other Pinus species. Population differentiation was also substantial in P. densata and exceeded that for allozyme markers. In contrast, no cpDNA polymorphism was detected in populations of P. tabulaeformis, P. yunnanensis, and P. massoniana. The study suggests that interspecific gene exchange may lead to the creation of stable cpDNA polymorphism in conifer hybrids.     

AUTORADIOGRAPHIC EVIDENCE FOR MANY SEGREGATING DNA MOLECULES IN THE CHLOROPLAST OF OCHROMONAS DANICA

Light-grown cells of Ochromonas danica, which contain a single chloroplast per cell, were labeled with [methyl-³H]thymidine for 3 h (0.36 generations) and the distribution of labeled DNA among the progeny chloroplasts was followed during exponential growth in unlabeled medium for a further 3.3 generations using light microscope autoradiography of serial sections of entire chloroplasts. Thymidine was specifically incorporated into DNA in both nuclei and chloroplasts. Essentially all the chloroplasts incorporated label in the 3-h labeling period, indicating that chloroplast DNA is synthesized throughout the cell cycle. Nuclear DNA has a more limited S period. Both chloroplast DNA and nuclear DNA are conserved during 3.3 generations. After 3.3 generations in unlabeled medium, grains per chloroplast followed a Poisson distribution indicating essentially equal labeling of all progeny chloroplasts. It is concluded that the average chloroplast in cells of Ochromonas growing exponentially in the light contains at least 10 segregating DNA molecules.     

增强紫外线B辐射对小麦叶绿体膜组分和膜流动性的影响

 研究了温室种植的小麦在0kJ·m-2(对照)、8.82kJ·m-2(处理1)和12.6kJ·m-2(处理2)3种剂量的紫外线B辐射下叶绿体膜组分和膜流动性的变化。紫外线B辐射导致了光合色素(包括叶绿素和类胡萝卜素)的降解、Hill反应的抑制、膜脂肪酸组分配比的改变和不饱和度指数(IUFA)的下降、膜流动性的降低以及丙二醛(MDA)含量的升高。分析表明,紫外线B辐射诱导的膜脂过氧化是叶绿体膜系统受破坏的主要原因。
