Molecular diagnosis is highly valuable for the species identification of microscopic mites. Here, we collected some economically important mites of the superfamily Acaroidea from various stored products in Korea. Those nucleotide sequences of ribosomal second internal transcribed spacer (ITS2) and the mitochondrial cytochrome oxidase subunit I (COI) regions were determined by PCR using universial primers. In nucleotide sequence comparison at GenBank database, seven species including Rhizoglyphus robini, R. echinopus, Sancassania sp. Acarus siro, Tyrophagus putrescentiae, T. similis in Acaridae and Suidasia medanensis in Suidasiidae were identified. Particularly, COI sequences of R. robini, R. echinopus, Sancassania sp. and T. similis were firstly determined. Our results suggest that the phylogenetic relationships inferred from the ITS2 region, rather than COI region, were similar to those derived based on their morphological classification. Our study provides molecular information for the identification and phylogenetic relationship of acaroid mites in Korea.  相似文献

Evolutionary relationships within Astragalus L. (Fabaceae) were inferred from nucleotide sequence variation in nuclear ribosomal DNA of both New World and Old World species. The internal transcribed spacer regions (ITS) of 18S–26S nuclear ribosomal DNA from representatives of 26 species of Astragalus, three species of Oxytropis DC., and two outgroup taxa were analyzed by polymerase chain reaction amplification and direct DNA sequencing. The length of the ITS 1 region within these taxa varied from 221 to 231 bp, while ITS 2 varied in length from 207 to 217 bp. Of the aligned, unambiguous positions, approximately 34% were variable in each spacer region. In pairwise comparisons among Astragalus species and outgroup taxa, sequence divergence at these sites ranged from 0 to 18.8% in ITS 1 and from 0 to 21.7% in ITS 2. Parsimony analyses of these sequences resulted in a well-resolved phylogeny that is highly concordant with previous cytogenetic and chloroplast DNA evidence for a major phylogenetic division in the genus. These data suggest that the New World aneuploid species of Astragalus form a monophyletic but morphologically cryptic group derived from euploid species of Old World (Eurasian) origin, which are consequently paraphyletic.  相似文献

Fungi in the genus Tomentellopsis were subjected to molecular phylogenetic analyses in order to clarify species-level relationships and mycorrhiza-forming ability with coniferous and deciduous trees. Fungal nucleotide sequence data from the internal transcribed spacer of nuclear ribosomal DNA (ITS rDNA) region were obtained from fruitbodies, ectomycorrhiza and pure cultures. Maximum parsimony (MP), distance (neighbor joining, NJ) and maximum likelihood (ML) analyses of aligned ITS sequences highlighted three clades designated T. echinospora, T. submollis and T. bresadoliana. Sporocarp tissue and ectomycorrhizas, or isolated mycelia, previously described as Pinirhiza rosea, Piceirhiza rosea or Pink were clearly identified in a strongly supported T. submollis clade. Host-linked population variation in this clade was also noted that may reflect active speciation activity. A fungus isolated from Beige-type mycorrhizas formed on Scots pine seedlings appeared in the paraphyletic T. echinospora clade which included sequences showing greater divergence. The data provide a primary classification of Tomentellopsis species that is urgently needed in assessment of the importance of resupinate thelephoroid fungi in mycorrhizal communities associated with trees in coniferous and deciduous forest ecosystems.  相似文献

The phylogenetic relationships among the three species of Tinospora found in India are poorly understood. Morphology does not fully help to resolve the phylogeny and therefore a fast approach using molecular analysis was explored. Two molecular approaches viz Random Amplified Polymorphic DNA (RAPD) assay and restriction digestion of ITS1-5.8S-ITS2 rDNA (PCR-RFLP) were used to evaluate the genetic similarities between 40 different accessions belonging to three species. Of the 38 random primers used only six generated the polymorphism, while as three out of 11 restriction enzymes used gave polymorphic restriction patterns. The average proportion of polymorphic markers across primers was 95%, however restriction endonucleases showed 92% polymorphism. RAPD alone was found suitable for the species diversions. In contrast PCR- RFLP showed bias in detecting exact species variation. The correlation between the two markers was performed by Jaccard's coefficient of similarity. A significant (r= 0.574) but not very high correlation was obtained. Further to authenticate the results obtained by two markers, sequence analysis of ITS region of ribosomal DNA (ITS1 and ITS2, including 5.8S rDNA) was performed. Three independent clones of each species T. cordifolia, T. malabarica and T. crispa were sequenced. Phylogenetic relationship inferred from ITS sequences is in agreement with RAPD data.  相似文献

The internal transcribed spacer (ITS) region of the 18 S–25 S nuclear ribosomal DNA repeat was sequenced from 19 populations of the tribeLactuceae, including all species of dwarf dandelion (Krigia) and five outgroup genera. The incidence of length changes and base substitutions was at least two times higher for ITS 1 than ITS 2. Interspecific sequence divergence withinKrigia averaged 9.62% (1.61%–15.19%) and 4.26% (0%–6.64%) in ITS 1 and ITS 2, respectively. Intergeneric sequence divergence ranged from 15.6% to 44.5% in ITS 1 and from 8.0% to 28.6% in ITS 2. High sequence divergence and homoplasy among genera of tribeLactuceae suggest that the phylogenetic utility of ITS sequence data is limited to interspecific studies or comparisons among closely related genera. Trees generated from ITS sequences are essentially identical to those from restriction site comparisons of the entire nuclear ribosomal (nr) DNA region. The degree of tree resolution differed depending on how gaps were treated in phylogenetic analyses. The ITS trees were congruent with the chloroplast DNA and morphological phylogenies in three major ways: 1) the sister group relationship betweenKrigia andPyrrhopappus; 2) the recognition of two monophyletic sections,Krigia andCymbia, in genusKrigia; and 3) the monophyly of theK. occidentalis-K. cespitosa clade in sect.Cymbia. However, the two nrDNA-based trees are not congruent with morphology/chloroplast DNA-based trees for the interspecific relationships in sect.Krigia. An average of 22.5% incongruence was observed among fourKrigia data sets. The relatively high degree of incongruence among data sets is due primarily to conflict between trees based on nrDNA and morphological/cpDNA data. The incongruence is probably due to the concerted evolution of nrDNA repeating units. The results fromKrigia and theLactuceae suggest that nrDNA data may have limited utility in phylogenetic studies of plants, especially in groups which exhibit high levels of sequence divergence. Our combined phylogenetic analysis as a total evidence shows the least conflict to each of the individual data sets.  相似文献

Variation in chromosome number and internal transcribed sequences (ITS) of nrDNA is used to infer phylogenetic relationships of a wide range ofHedera species. Polyploidy was found to be frequent inHedera, with diploid, tetraploid, hexaploid and octoploid populations being detected. Nucleotide additivity occurs in the ITS sequences of one tetraploid (H. hibernica) and two hexaploid species (H. maderensis, H. pastuchovii), suggesting that all three species originated by allopolyploidisation. ITS sequence polymorphism and nucleotide characters may indicate the presence of an ancient genome persistent only in some allopolyploid species. Phylogenetic analyses of ITS sequence data reveal two lineages ofHedera: one containing all sequences belonging to extant diploids plus the tetraploidH. algeriensis, and a second that includes this ancient ITS type and others exclusive to several polyploid species. The origin of the polyploids is evaluated on the basis of morphology, chromosome counts, ITS sequence polymorphism, and phylogenetic analyses. Reconstruction of reticulate evolution inHedera agrees with two allopolyploid areas on both sides of the Mediterranean basin. Morphological, molecular and cytological evidence also suggests an active dispersal ofHedera populations that may account for three independent introductions in Macaronesia.  相似文献

Phylogenetic relationships among 40 New World and Old World members of Apiaceae subfamily Apioideae, representing seven of the eight tribes and eight of the ten subtribes commonly recognized in the subfamily, were inferred from nucleotide sequence variation in the internal transcribed spacer (ITS) regions of 18-26S nuclear ribosomal DNA. Although the sequences are alignable, with only 11% of sites excluded from the analyses because of alignment ambiguity, divergence values in pairwise comparisons of unambiguous positions among all taxa were high and ranged from 0.5 to 33.2% of nucleotides in ITS 1 and from 0 to 33.2% of nucleotides in ITS 2. Average sequence divergence across both spacer regions was 18.4% of nucleotides. Phylogenies derived from ITS sequences estimated using neighbor-joining analysis of substitution rates, and maximum likelihood and parsimony methods give trees of essentially similar topology and indicate that: (1) there is little support for any existing system of classification of the subfamily that is based largely on morphological and anatomical features of the mericarp; (2) there is a major phylogenetic division within the subfamily, with one clade comprising the genus Smyrnium and those taxa belonging to Drude's tribes Dauceae, Scandiceae, and Laserpitieae and the other clade comprising all other examined taxa; and (3) the genera Arracacia, Coaxana, Coulterophytum, Enantiophylla, Myrrhidendron, Prionosciadium, and Rhodosciadium, all endemic to Mexico and Central America, comprise a clade but their relationships to other New World taxa are equivocal. A phylogeny derived from parsimony analysis of chloroplast DNA rpoC1 intron sequences is consistent with, but considerably less resolved than, relationships derived from these ITS regions. This study affirms that ITS sequences are useful for phylogenetic inference among closely related members of Apioideae but, owing to high rates of nucleotide substitution, are less useful in resolving relationships among the more ancestral nodes of the phylogeny.  相似文献

In order to investigate the genetic relationships between Dermanyssus gallinae (Metastigmata: Dermanyssidae) (de Geer) isolates from poultry farms in Italy and other European countries, phylogenetic analysis was performed using a portion of the cytochrome c oxidase subunit 1 (cox1) gene of the mitochondrial DNA and the internal transcribed spacers (ITS1+5.8S+ITS2) of the ribosomal DNA. A total of 360 cox1 sequences and 360 ITS+ sequences were obtained from mites collected on 24 different poultry farms in 10 different regions of Northern and Southern Italy. Phylogenetic analysis of the cox1 sequences resulted in the clustering of two groups (A and B), whereas phylogenetic analysis of the ITS+ resulted in largely unresolved clusters. Knowledge of the genetic make‐up of mite populations within countries, together with comparative analyses of D. gallinae isolates from different countries, will provide better understanding of the population dynamics of D. gallinae. This will also allow the identification of genetic markers of emerging acaricide resistance and the development of alternative strategies for the prevention and treatment of infestations.  相似文献

Sequence data obtained from nrITS region were used to assess phylogenetic inter-relationships and infrageneric classification of ten Cymbidium species collected from north-east India. The final aligned data matrix of combined ITS 1, 5.8S and ITS 2 yielded 684 characters. The ITS 1 and ITS 2 regions showed variable sequence lengths and G + C content (%). The 5.8S region was found to be more conserved (98.71%) followed by ITS 1 (86.12%) and ITS 2 (69.40%). ITS 2 recorded highest percentage of parsimony informative sites (7.46%), high sequence divergence with indels (24.63%), high number of transitions and transversions. ITS sequence data determined the phylogeny of Asiatic Cymbidiums with high bootstrap values. All three proposed subgenera could be distinguished clearly by all four (MP, ML, NJ, and BI) phylogenetic methods. This study validates the utility of ITS rDNA region as a reliable indicator of phylogenetic relationships, especially ITS 2 as probable DNA barcode at higher levels and can serve as an additional approach for identification of broader range of plant taxa especially orchids.  相似文献

Among ciliates, Paramecium has become a privileged model for the study of “species problem” particularly in the case of the “Paramecium aurelia complex” that has been intensely investigated. Despite extensive studies, the taxonomy of Paramecium is still challenging. The major problem is an uneven sampling of Paramecium with relatively few representatives of each species. To investigate species from the less discovered region (Pakistan), 10 isolates of Paramecium species including a standing-alone FT8 strain previously isolated by some of us were subjected to molecular characterization. Fragments of 18S recombinant DNA (rDNA), ITS1-5.8S-ITS2-5′LSU rDNA, cytochrome c oxidase subunit II, and hsp70 genes were used as molecular markers for phylogenetic analysis of particular isolates. The nucleotide sequences of polymerase chain reaction products of all markers were compared with the available sequences of relevant markers of other Paramecium species from GenBank. Phylogenetic trees based on all molecular markers showed that all the nine strains had a very close relationship with Paramecium primaurelia except for the FT8 strain. FT8 consistently showed its unique position in comparison to all other species in the phylogenetic trees. Available sequences of internal transcribed spacer 1 (ITS1) and ITS2 and some other ciliate sequences from GenBank were used for the construction of secondary models. Two highly conserved helices supported by compensatory base changes among all ciliates of ITS2 secondary structures were found similar to other eukaryotes. Therefore, the most conserved 120 to 180 base pairs regions were identified for their comparative studies. We found that out of the three helices in ITS1 structure, helix B was more conserved in Paramecium species. Despite various substitutions in the primary sequence, it was observed that secondary structures of ITS1 and ITS2 could be helpful in interpreting the phylogenetic relationships both at species as well as at generic level.  相似文献

To address systematic issues pertaining to series Pilosa of Korean Chrysosplenium, the phylogenetic relationships of the 35 accessions of Korean Chrysosplenium taxa were examined using the DNA sequence data obtained from the nuclear ribosomal internal transcribed spacer (ITS) regions and the psbK-I gene of the plastid genome. The results from both ITS and psbK-I sequence data indicated that Chrysosplenium flaviflorum formed a well-supported clade that merits species status of the taxon. The ITS phylogenetic trees detected two distinct lineages in Chrysosplenium pilosum var. fulvum. Geographically, one lineage was widely distributed throughout the country whereas the other was confined to Gyeonggi and Gangwon provinces. The plants sampled from Jeju Island, which have been recognized as C. pilosum var. sphaerospermum [C. hallaisanense] exhibited no DNA sequence feature segregating them from C. pilosum var. fulvum [C. barbatum] distributed in the mainland area of Korea. The plastid DNA sequence data was not fully in concordance with the nuclear ribosomal ITS data and the current taxa delimitation. These results suggest incomplete lineage sorting or that plastid genome capture may have occurred during the evolution of some taxa examined in the present study.  相似文献

We used high-fidelity PCR to amplify 2 overlapping regions of the ribosomal gene complex from the rodent fur mite Myobia musculi. The amplicons encompassed a large portion of the mite's ribosomal gene complex spanning 3128 nucleotides containing the entire 18S rRNA, internal transcribed spacer (ITS) 1,5.8S rRNA, ITS2, and a portion of the 5'-end of the 28S rRNA. M. musculi's 179-nucleotide 5.8S rRNA nucleotide sequence was not conserved, so this region was identified by conservation of rRNA secondary structure. Maximum likelihood and Bayesian inference phylogenetic analyses were performed by using multiple sequence alignment consisting of 1524 nucleotides of M. musculi 18S rRNA and homologous sequences from 42 prostigmatid mites and the tick Dermacentor andersoni. The phylograms produced by both methods were in agreement regarding terminal, secondary, and some tertiary phylogenetic relationships among mites. Bayesian inference discriminated most infraordinal relationships between Eleutherengona and Parasitengona mites in the suborder Anystina. Basal relationships between suborders Anystina and Eupodina historically determined by comparing differences in anatomic characteristics were less well-supported by our molecular analysis. Our results recapitulated similar 18S rRNA sequence analyses recently reported. Our study supports M. musculi as belonging to the suborder Anystina, infraorder Eleutherenona, and superfamily Cheyletoidea.  相似文献

悬钩子属植物种类繁多,类群复杂,而且多为多倍体和杂种。该文就近年来国内外有关DNA序列在悬钩子属植物分子系统学研究中的应用现状和进展进行了综述,并对中国悬钩子属植物系统发育研究进行了展望。研究认为:叶绿体DNA序列多应用非编码区,且多与ITS序列联合分析;核基因组中ITS序列应用最为广泛,主要用于研究悬钩子属空心莓组与木莓组的进化关系、栽培品种间亲缘关系及部分杂种和多倍体的起源等;在该属植物中发现了ITS个体内多态性,但未进行ITS假基因检测,其系统学应用价值需重新评价;低拷贝核基因只有GBSSI和LEAFY有相关应用。同时认为,悬钩子属植物系统学研究中应用的DNA序列及研究类群均较少,缺乏对整个悬钩子属全面而系统的研究。指出应进一步选择具有代表性的样本、筛选合适的DNA片段,并结合形态学、孢粉学和细胞学等手段对中国悬钩子属植物系统关系进行深入研究。  相似文献

The genetic relationship of 36 Dendrobium species in China was determined based on sequence analysis of the internal transcribed spacer (ITS) region of ribosomal DNA. Aligned sequences of the complete ITS region obtained from the 36 Dendrobium species and 2 outgroup species (Epigeneium amplum and Epigeneium nakaharaei) by using PCR amplification and direct DNA sequencing. The nrDNA ITS1 of Dendrobium was 225–234 bp and ITS2 was 239–248 bp. Phylogenetic tree was constructed, and seven main clusters were generated among the 36 Dendrobium species. From the results, D. moulmeinense was not grouped in the classification of Dendrobium and E. amplum and E. nakaharaei were shown to be divergent from Dendrobium species. The phylogenetic relationships revealed by ITS DNA analysis partially supported previously published morphological data.  相似文献

The phylogenetic analysis of groundwater amphipods is challenging due to the lack of suitable morphological characters. However, molecular phylogenies based on the 18S and 28S nuclear genes of two Crangonyctoidea species endemic to Iceland, Crymostygius thingvallensis and Crangonyx islandicus, support the taxonomy of these species on the basis of morphological characters. Molecular analyses suggest that the genus Crangonyx is paraphyletic, with the species that is found in Eurasia being highly divergent genetically from the species present in North America and Iceland. Studies of the phylogenetic relationships within the genus Niphargus also warrant further work. The nuclear ITS2 region has recently been proposed as a barcoding marker for plants and animals. In addition, ITS2 has been used to build phylogenies at high taxonomic levels by including its secondary structure. In this study, we want to evaluate the applicability of the ITS region for this group of species and describe its characteristics. The taxonomy of C. thingvallensis, as well as the paraphyly of the genus Crangonyx, is supported herein by phylogenies based on the ITS2 variation. The secondary structure and the length of the ITS2 sequences of the Crangonyctoidea and the Niphargidae species studied are highly variable and are characterized by duplications. The ITS2 sequence of Niphargus plateaui is the longest metazoan sequence deposited in the ITS2 database so far. Although saturation was observed in the nucleotide variation of this marker, the addition of the secondary structure information for the reconstruction of the phylogeny did not add support to the phylogenetic trees. The ITS1 region, which is known to be more variable than ITS2 and bears a large duplication within C. islandicus, was found to be less useful for phylogenetic reconstruction.  相似文献

Two new species of the fungal genus Trichoderma, Trichoderma compactum and Trichoderma yunnanense, isolated from rhizosphere of tobacco in Yunnan Province, China are described based on morphological characters and phylogenetic analyses of nucleotide sequences. Our DNA sequences included the internal transcribed spacer (ITS) regions of the rDNA cluster (ITS1 and ITS2), and partial sequences of the translation elongation factor 1-alpha (tef1) and a fragment of the gene coding for endochitinase 42 (ech42). The analyses show that T. compactum belongs to the Harzianum clade, and T. yunnanense belongs to the Hamatum clade.  相似文献

Puccinia graminis (Uredinales) is an economically important and common host-alternating rust species on Berberidaceae/Poaceae (subfamilies Pooideae and Panicoideae) that has been spread globally by human activities from an unknown center of origin. To evaluate the taxonomic implications, phylogenetic relationships, and distribution/spread of this complex species, we sequenced and cladistically analyzed the ITS1, 5.8S, and ITS2 regions from herbarium specimens on various host plants from Iran (17), Europe (1), and North America (4). The ITS region plus the 5.8S gene ranged from 686 to 701 bp, including the flanking partial sequences of the 18S and 28S rDNA. Our phylogenetic analysis included 54 bp of the 18S sequence, the entire ITS1 + 5.8S + ITS2, and 58 bp of the 28S sequence. A second analysis used only the last 42 bp of ITS1, and all the 5.8S and ITS2, to incorporate data from additional sequences downloaded from GenBank. In addition to variation in sequence length, there was variation in sequence content. The analysis does not support classical morphology-based taxonomic concepts of the P. graminis complex. Also, host range, host taxonomy, and geographic origin provide minor information on taxonomic relationships. Puccinia graminis is most probably monophyletic. Coevolutionary aspects can hardly be discussed because of lack of sequence data from alternate host specimens. The occurrence of unrelated fungal taxa on the same host species suggests that, besides coevolution with the host, host jumps and hybridization may have played an important role in the evolution of P. graminis. From rDNA data we conclude that the pathogen was introduced to North America at least twice independently. For a new taxonomic concept, we think the complex has to be split into at least two species. New morphological features and further features other than sequence data, however, must be checked for taxonomic value first and, if necessary, be considered.  相似文献

Phylogenetic relationships among nine of the 11 species of the endemic genus Dendroseris on the Juan Fernandez Islands were inferred from nucleotide sequences of the internal transcribed spacer regions (ITS) of the 18-26S nuclear ribosomal DNA. Sequences were determined for 15 populations of Dendroseris and one population for each of two outgroups from the genera Sonchus and Sventenia. Little length variation was detected in the ITS regions of Dendroseris, with ITS 1 253 or 254 bp long and ITS 2 224 or 225 bp. The sequence data provide strong support for the holophyly of Dendroseris despite the distinct morphological differences among the three subgenera. The molecular data also indicate that subg. Dendroseris and Phoenicoseris are holophyletic, but do not support holophyly of subg. Rea. The ITS sequences did not resolve relationships among subgenera, supporting the hypothesis of rapid adaptive radiation of Dendroseris on the islands. Relative rate tests indicate that rates of nucleotide substitutions in the ITS regions are not significantly different among the different lineages of Dendroseris following adaptive radiation. Comparisons of average pairwise sequence divergence of Dendroseris species in the ITS regions and chloroplast genome indicated that ITS sequences have evolved about 38 times faster than cpDNA in the genus. Rates of ITS sequence divergence of Dendroseris were estimated to be faster than (3.94 ± 0.10) × 10-9 per site per year, and likely (6.06 ±0.15) × 10-9 per site per year.  相似文献

Population studies have revealed that the fungal ectomycorrhizal morphospecies Tricholoma scalpturatum consists of at least two genetically distinct groups that occur sympatrically in several geographical areas. This discovery prompted us to examine species boundaries and relationships between members formerly assigned to T. scalpturatum and allied taxa using phylogenetic analyses. Sequence data were obtained from three nuclear DNA regions [internal transcribed spacer (ITS), gpd and tef], from 101 carpophores collected over a large geographical range in Western Europe, and some reference sequences from public databases. The ITS was also tested for its applicability as DNA barcode for species delimitation. Four highly supported phylogenetic clades were detected. The two previously detected genetic groups of T. scalpturatum were assigned to the phylospecies Tricholoma argyraceum and T. scalpturatum. The two remaining clades were referred to as Tricholoma cingulatum and Tricholoma inocybeoides. Unexpectedly, T. cingulatum showed an accelerated rate of evolution that we attributed to narrow host specialization. This study also reveals recombinant ITS sequences in T. inocybeoides, suggesting a hybrid origin. The ITS was a useful tool for the determination of species boundaries: the mean value of intraspecific genetic distances in the entire ITS region (including 5.8S rDNA) was <0.2%, whereas interspecific divergence estimates ranged from 1.78% to 4.22%. Apart from giving insights into the evolution of the T. scalpturatum complex, this study contributes to the establishment of a library of taxonomically verified voucher specimens, an a posteriori correlation between phenotype and genotype, and DNA barcoding of ectomycorrhizal fungi.  相似文献

Thirty species and one variety of Symplocos (Symplocaceae), including all taxa distributed in Japan, were phylogenetically analyzed with DNA sequence data. The evolution of morphological characters is discussed on the basis of the phylogenetic relationships obtained. All species were Asian, except one, S. austromexicana, from Mexico. The nuclear ribosomal internal transcribed spacer (ITS) region and two intergenic spacer regions, between trnL and trnF, and between trnH and psbA of chloroplast DNA were used. The topologies of trees obtained from ITS and the chloroplast intergenic spacers are largely congruent. S. sonoharae, the representative of the subgenus Symplocos in Asia, was sister to all other species. The position of the American species, S. austromexicana, which also belongs to the subgenus Symplocos, was not well resolved. The phylogenetic tree based on combined sequence data largely supports the monophyletic origin of the infrageneric sections proposed earlier. However, the phylogenetic relationship between them is not well resolved, probably due to rapid diversification. The section Palura, a deciduous group, is well defined in the DNA analysis, suggesting its independent status in the genus Symplocos. In spite of their morphological divergence, the three endemic species of the Bonin Islands are monophyletic. The occurrence of curved seeds seems to be homoplastic, scattered over the phylogenetic tree without showing a particular infrageneric relationship.  相似文献
