Cowpea [Vigna unguiculata L. (Walp)] is grown mainly for its protein-rich grains and is consumed in various forms in sub-Saharan Africa. Average grain yield in farmers’ fields is generally low due to a number of biotic and abiotic stresses. One hundred and six cowpea accessions from Ghana, which had previously been evaluated for seedling drought tolerance, were used for this study. This paper attempts to use three multi-locus PCR-based molecular markers; simple sequence repeats (SSR), inter-retrotransposon amplified polymorphism (IRAP) and retrotransposon-microsatellite amplified polymorphisms (REMAP), to analyse genetic diversity in the cowpea accessions. Analysis of the polymorphic bands data indicated that 101 alleles were amplified among 121 cowpea genotypes (83.4%) from 16 SSR primer pairs out of a total of 30 SSR primer pairs. Likewisely, a total of 66 (54.5%) polymorphic bands were obtained from IRAP and a total of 114 (94.2%) highly polymorphic bands obtained from REMAP analysis. The outcome indicated the highly polymorphic nature of the DNA markers, as small groups of these molecular markers were found to be able to identify each of the accessions used. Microsatellite markers (SSRs) and retrotransposon-based markers, like IRAP and REMAP, were found to be highly polymorphic and informative, suggesting that genomic fingerprinting has a major role in characterizing populations. 相似文献

Summary The taxonomy of the genus Vigna has been primarily based on morphological attributes. We have used 27 genomic clones from soybean, common bean, mungbean and cowpea to examine restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) among 44 accessions of different species belonging to four subgenera of the genus Vigna. One accession each of common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris) and soybean (Glycine max) was included in the study. Total DNA from the various genotypes was digested with one restriction enzyme (Eco RV). Results of a numerical taxonomic analysis showed a high level of genetic variation within the genus with a remarkably higher amount of variation associated with Vigna sp. from Africa relative to those from Asia. The distinctness of the Asiatic grams in subgenus Ceratotropis, cowpea in section Catiang, bambara groundnut (V. subterranean) and members of the subgenus Plectotropis was elucidated by this study. Members of the subgenus Plectotropis were closer in genome homology to those of subgenus Vigna section Catiang than to those of subgenus Ceratotropis. The relative positions of some genotypes to one another on the dendrogram and minimum spanning tree were discussed in regard to hybridisations aimed generating well-saturated genomic maps and interspecies transfer of desirable genes. 相似文献

Genome relationships between mungbean (Vigna tradiata) and cowpea (V. Unguiculata) based on the linkage arrangement of random genomic restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) markers have been investigated. A common set of probes derived from cowpea, common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris), mungbean, and soybean (Glycine max) PstI genomic libraries were used to construct the genetic linkage maps. In both species, a single F2 population from a cross between an improved cultivar and a putative wild progenitor species was used to follow the segregation of the RFLP markers. Approximately 90% of the probes hybridized to both mungbean and cowpea DNA, indicating a high degree of similarity in the nucleotide sequences among these species. A higher level of polymorphism was detected in the mungbean population (75.7%) than in the cowpea population (41.2%). Loci exhibiting duplications, null phenotypes, and distorted segregation ratios were detected in both populations. Random genomic DNA RFLP loci account for about 89% of the currently mapped markers with a few cDNA and RAPD markers added. The current mungbean map is comprised of 171 loci/loci clusters distributed in 14 linkage groups spanning a total of 1570cM. On the other hand, 97 markers covered 684 cM and defined 10 linkage groups in the current cowpea map. The mungbean and cowpea genomes were compared on the basis of the copy number and linkage arrangement of 53 markers mapped in common between the two species. Results indicate that nucleotide sequences are conserved, but variation in copy number were detected and several rearrangements in linkage orders appeared to have occurred since the divergence of the two species. Entire linkage groups were not conserved, but several large linkage blocks were maintained in both genomes. 相似文献

Mung bean (Vigna radiate (L.) Wilczek) is an important traditional food legume crop, with high economic and nutritional value. It is widely grown in China and other Asian countries. Despite its importance, genomic information is currently unavailable for this crop plant species or some of its close relatives in the Vigna genus. In this study, more than 103 million high quality cDNA sequence reads were obtained from mung bean using Illumina paired-end sequencing technology. The processed reads were assembled into 48,693 unigenes with an average length of 874 bp. Of these unigenes, 25,820 (53.0%) and 23,235 (47.7%) showed significant similarity to proteins in the NCBI non-redundant protein and nucleotide sequence databases, respectively. Furthermore, 19,242 (39.5%) could be classified into gene ontology categories, 18,316 (37.6%) into Swiss-Prot categories and 10,918 (22.4%) into KOG database categories (E-value < 1.0E-5). A total of 6,585 (8.3%) were mapped onto 244 pathways using the Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genome (KEGG) pathway database. Among the unigenes, 10,053 sequences contained a unique simple sequence repeat (SSR), and 2,303 sequences contained more than one SSR together in the same expressed sequence tag (EST). A total of 13,134 EST-SSRs were identified as potential molecular markers, with mono-nucleotide A/T repeats being the most abundant motif class and G/C repeats being rare. In this SSR analysis, we found five main repeat motifs: AG/CT (30.8%), GAA/TTC (12.6%), AAAT/ATTT (6.8%), AAAAT/ATTTT (6.2%) and AAAAAT/ATTTTT (1.9%). A total of 200 SSR loci were randomly selected for validation by PCR amplification as EST-SSR markers. Of these, 66 marker primer pairs produced reproducible amplicons that were polymorphic among 31 mung bean accessions selected from diverse geographical locations. The large number of SSR-containing sequences found in this study will be valuable for the construction of a high-resolution genetic linkage maps, association or comparative mapping and genetic analyses of various Vigna species. 相似文献

Genes encoded by the major histocompatibility complex (MHC) play key roles in the vertebrate immune system. However, our understanding of the evolutionary processes and underlying genetic mechanisms shaping these genes is limited in many taxa, including amphibians, a group currently impacted by emerging infectious diseases. To further elucidate the evolution of the MHC in frogs (anurans) and develop tools for population genetics, we surveyed allelic diversity of the MHC class II β1 domain in both genomic and complementary DNA of seven New World species in the genus Rana (Lithobates). To assign locus affiliation to our alleles, we used a “gene walking” technique to obtain intron 2 sequences that flanked MHC class IIβ exon 2. Two distinct intron sequences were recovered, suggesting the presence of at least two class IIβ loci in Rana. We designed a primer pair that successfully amplified an orthologous locus from all seven Rana species. In total, we recovered 13 alleles and documented trans-species polymorphism for four of the alleles. We also found quantitative evidence of selection acting on amino acid residues that are putatively involved in peptide binding and structural stability of the β1 domain of anurans. Our results indicated that primer mismatch can result in polymerase chain reaction (PCR) bias, which influences the number of alleles that are recovered. Using a single locus may minimize PCR bias caused by primer mismatch, and the gene walking technique was an effective approach for generating single-copy orthologous markers necessary for future studies of MHC allelic variation in natural amphibian populations. 相似文献

Genome-specific DNA markers are of great value in many applications. Recent work on different plants and animal species indicated that PCR- (polymerase chain reaction) based genetic marker systems using specific primers are highly genome-specific. To test the genome specificity of sequence-tagged-sites (STSs) as genetic markers in Stylosanthes, 20 pairs of primers were generated. Fifteen were from randomly selected single-copy Pstl genomic clones, and the other five were from two known gene sequences. These primer pairs were analysed against a set of 24 genotypes representing 12 different Stylosanthes species. Thirteen of these primer pairs amplified successfully. Overall, there was a low level of genome specificity, suggesting a low degree of genomic divergence within this group of Stylosanthes species. Of the 312 entries (24 genotypes by 13 primer pairs), PCR amplifications were unsuccessful (little or no products) in only 16 cases. The number of banding patterns detected by each of these primer pairs varied from 2 to 12 with an average pair-wise polymorphism of 44.3%. The level of intraspecific variation detected on normal agarose gels was only 3.8%. Further evidence that diploid S. hamata and diploid S. humilis are progenitors of tetraploid S. hamata and that S. viscosa is a progenitor of S. scabra, was obtained. 相似文献

Rice bean (Vigna umbellata (Thunb.) Ohwi & Ohashi) is a warm season annual legume mainly grown in East Asia. Only scarce genomic resources are currently available for this legume crop species and no simple sequence repeat (SSR) markers have been specifically developed for rice bean yet. In this study, approximately 26 million high quality cDNA sequence reads were obtained from rice bean using Illumina paired-end sequencing technology and assembled into 71,929 unigenes with an average length of 986 bp. Of these unigenes, 38,840 (33.2%) showed significant similarity to proteins in the NCBI non-redundant protein and nucleotide sequence databases. Furthermore, 30,170 (76.3%) could be classified into gene ontology categories, 25,451 (64.4%) into Swiss-Prot categories and 21,982 (55.6%) into KOG database categories (E-value < 1.0E-5). A total of 9,301 (23.5%) were mapped onto 118 pathways using the Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genome (KEGG) pathway database. A total of 3,011 genic SSRs were identified as potential molecular markers. AG/CT (30.3%), AAG/CTT (8.1%) and AGAA/TTCT (20.0%) are the three main repeat motifs. A total of 300 SSR loci were randomly selected for validation by using PCR amplification. Of these loci, 23 primer pairs were polymorphic among 32 rice bean accessions. A UPGMA dendrogram revealed three major clusters among 32 rice bean accessions. The large number of SSR-containing sequences and genic SSRs in this study will be valuable for the construction of high-resolution genetic linkage maps, association or comparative mapping and genetic analyses of various Vigna species. 相似文献

We have developed thirty new microsatellite markers in potato by screening genomic libraries and ESTs. Genomic libraries of potato cultivar Kufri Bahar were screened for sequences containing microsatellite motifs GA, GT, ACA, ATC, GAA, TAA and GATA. Using flanking sequences, PCR primers were designed for microsatellites identified from genomic libraries and ESTs. Sixteen new primer pairs from genomic libraries and fourteen from ESTs along with seven previously published primer pairs amplified PCR products in the selected genotypes comprising of 65 Solanum tuberosum lines and 14 other species of the potato gene pool. Neighbor-joining tree based on genetic distance matrix developed using microsatellite markers successfully distinguished all these genotypes in the expected size range. Seventeen microsatellites could also be cross-amplified in at least one of the five members of solanaceae, namely tomato, eggplant, pepper, petunia and tobacco. The new microsatellite markers obtained in this study will be useful in various genetic and taxonomic studies in potato and related genomes. 相似文献

Carotenoids play essential biological roles in plants, and genes involved in the carotenoid biosynthesis pathway are evolutionarily conserved. Orange sweetpotato is an important source of β-carotene, a precursor of vitamin A. In spite of this, only a few research studies have focussed on the molecular aspects of carotenoid genes regarding their specific sequence and structure. In this study, we used published carotenoid gene sequences from Ipomoea and other species for “exon-primed intron-crossing” approaches. Fifteen pairs of primers representing six carotenoid genes were designed for different introns, eleven of which amplified scorable and reproducible alleles. The sequence of PCR products showed high homology to the original ones. Moreover, the structure and sequence of the introns and exons from five carotenoid structural genes were partially defined. Intron length polymorphism and intron single nucleotide polymorphisms were detected in amplified sequences. Marker dosages and allelic segregations were analysed in a mapping population. The developed markers were evaluated in a set of Ipomoeas batatas accessions so as to analyse genetic diversity and conservation applicability. Using CG strategy combined with EPIC-PCR technique, we developed carotenoid gene markers in sweetpotato. We reported the first set of polymorphic Candidate Gene markers for I. batatas, and demonstrated transferability in seven wild Ipomoea species. We described the sequence and structure of carotenoid genes and introduced new information about genomic constitution and allele dosage. 相似文献

Vigna plants distributed in Korea were analyzed by molecular cytogenetic fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH), genomic in situ hybridization (GISH) and rDNA ITS/NTS sequences. FISH revealed that variable 45S rRNA gene loci (one to four) were localized on the terminal regions of chromosomes, while two conserved 5S rRNA gene loci from all species examined, except for rice bean (single locus), were detected. FISH and GISH showed the characteristic organization of rRNA gene loci and genomic homology on the chromosomes, indicating their cytogenetic relatationships. ITS sequence revealed that there was considerable variation in length (190–207 bp in ITS1, 205–221 bp in ITS2) and nucleotide composition (7–67 bp). The 5S rRNA gene unit comprised coding region (118 bp) and extensive sequence heterogeneity (97–221 bp). Phylogenetic analysis of the ITS and NTS sequences demonstrated that the Vigna species are divided into two groups: angularis (V. angularis, V. umbellata, V. nakashimae and V. nipponensis) and unguiculata (V. unguiculata, V. sesquipedalis and V. vexillata). Sequence data also showed that mung bean was closer to the angularis group. 相似文献

Microsatellite markers were developed for Dicksonia sellowiana (Dicksoniaceae), an overexploited and endangered tree-fern species native to Brazil. From an enriched genomic library, 11 primer pairs were selected and used to characterize 36 D. sellowiana individuals from six Brazilian populations. Eight primer pairs amplified dinucleotide and hexanucleotide repeats with two to ten alleles per locus; three primer pairs were monomorphic. For the set of polymorphic markers, the mean observed and expected heterozygosity ranged from 0.29 to 0.44 and from 0.27 to 0.56, respectively. Eight of the primer pairs were also successfully amplified for Cyathea vestita (Cyatheaceae). These molecular markers can be useful tools for genetic studies aiming to analyze the impact of deforestation and overexploitation on the population structure and genetic diversity of fern species from various botanical families. 相似文献

Genetic diversity and phylogenetic relationships among 22 local cowpea (Vigna unguiculata) varieties and inbred lines collected throughout Senegal were evaluated using simple sequence repeat molecular markers. A set of 49 primer combinations were developed from cowpea genomic/expressed sequence tags and evaluated for their ability to detect polymorphisms among the various cowpea genotypes. Forty-four primer combinations detected polymorphisms, with the remaining five primer sets failing to yield PCR amplification products. From one to 16 alleles were found among the informative primer combinations; their frequencies ranged from 0.60 to 0.95 (mean = 0.79). The genetic diversity of the sample varied from 0.08 to 0.42 (mean = 0.28). The polymorphic information content ranged from 0.08 to 0.33 (mean = 0.23). The local varieties clustered in the same group, except 53-3, 58-53, and 58-57; while Ndoute yellow pods, Ndoute violet pods and Baye Ngagne were in the second group. The photosensitive varieties (Ndoute yellow pods and Ndoute violet pods) were closely clustered in the second group and so were inbred line Mouride and local cultivar 58-57, which is also one of the parents for inbred line Mouride. These molecular markers could be used for selection and identification of elite varieties for cowpea improvement and germplasm management in Senegal. 相似文献

Enrichment methods were optimised in order to isolate large numbers of simple sequence repeat (SSR) markers for perennial
ryegrass (Lolium perenne L.), with the aim of developing a comprehensive set of loci for trait mapping and cultivar identification. Two libraries
were constructed showing greater than 50% enrichment for a variety of SSR-motif types. Sequence characterisation of 1853 clones
identified 859 SSR-containing clones, of which 718 were unique. Truncation of flanking sequences limited potential primer
design to 366 clones. One-hundred selected SSR primer pairs were evaluated for amplification and genetic polymorphism across
a panel of diverse genotypes. The efficiency of amplification was 81%. A relatively high level of SSR polymorphism was detected
(67%), with a range of 2–7 alleles per locus. Mendelian segregation of alleles detected by selected SSR-locus primer pairs
was demonstrated in the F1 progeny of a pair cross. Cross-species amplification was detected in a number of related pasture and turfgrass species, with
high levels of transfer to other Lolium species and members of the related genus Festuca. The identity of putative SSR ortholoci in these related species was confirmed by DNA sequence analysis. These loci constitute
a valuable resource of ideal markers for the molecular breeding of ryegrasses and fescues.

Capsicum spp. are widely cultivated for use as vegetables and spices. The Kihara Institute for Biological Research, Yokohama City University, Japan, has stocks of approximately 800 lines of Capsicum spp. collected from various regions of Central and South America, the regions of origin for Capsicum spp. In this study, 5,751 primer pairs for simple sequence repeat markers, based on 118,060 publicly available sequences of expressed sequence tags of Capsicum annuum, were designed and subjected to a similarity search against the genomic sequence of tomato, a model Solanaceae species. Nucleotide sequences spanning 2,245 C. annuum markers were successfully mapped onto the tomato genome, and 96 of these, which spanned the entire tomato genome, were selected for further analysis. In genotyping analysis, 60 out of the 77 markers that produced specific DNA amplicons showed polymorphism among the Capsicum lines examined. On the basis of the resulting data, the 192 tested lines were grouped into five main clusters. The additional sequencing analysis of the plastid genes, matK and rbcL, divided the resources into three groups. As a result, 19 marker loci exhibited genotypes specific to species and cluster, suggesting that the DNA markers are useful for species identification. Information on the DNA markers will contribute to Capsicum genetics, genomics, and breeding. 相似文献

Multiple methods for the identification of polymorphic simple sequence repeats (SSRs) in sorghum [Sorghum bicolor (L.) Moench] 总被引:9,自引:0,他引:9

Simple sequence repeats (SSRs), also known as microsatellites, are highly variable DNA sequences that can be used as markers for the genetic analysis of plants. Three approaches were followed for the development of PCR primers for the amplification of DNA fragments containing SSRs from sorghum [Sorghum bicolor (L.) Moench]: a search for sorghum SSRs in public DNA databases; the use of SSR-specific primers developed in the Poaceae species maize (Zea mays L.) and seashore paspalum grass (Paspalum vaginatum Swartz); and the screening of sorghum genomic libraries by hybridization with SSR oligonucleotides. A total of 49 sorghum SSR-specific PCR primer pairs (two designed from GenBank SSR-containing sequences and 47 from the sequences of genomic clones) were screened on a panel of 17 sorghum and one maize accession. Ten primer pairs from paspalum and 90 from maize were also screened for polymorphism in sorghum. Length polymorphisms among amplification products were detected with 15 of these primer pairs, yielding diversity values ranging from 0.2 to 0.8 with an average diversity of 0.56. These primer pairs are now available for use as markers in crop improvement and conservation efforts. 相似文献

Microsatellites found in expressed sequence tags (ESTs) have several advantages in comparison to conventional microsatellites
developed from genomic DNA. Advantages of EST-microsatellites include better transferability between the species and lower
development cost of primer pairs. However, in many cases the amplified products of genomic DNA are larger than their expected
sizes based on ESTs and these markers have low level of polymorphism. In the present study we report on a new approach as
a modest modification of the cleavage amplified polymorphic sequence (CAPS) called CAPS-microsatellites. Using a total of
20 EST-microsatellite primer pairs on four Capsicum species and two Gossypium species we observed that all 20 monomorphic EST-microsatellites could be converted into polymorphic markers among the species
used. Further analyses using a total of 37 F2 individuals obtained from two Capsicum annuum L. lines indicated that CAPS-microsatellite markers usually segregated as co-dominant fashions, discriminating the homozygous
from heterozygous genotypes and could be used in genetic analyses of plant species. 相似文献

Tetranychus truncatus Ehara is a phytophagous spider mite that is now one of the most important pests of agricultural and economic crops in East and Southeast Asia. However, population genetics and other studies of T. truncatus have been impeded by the lack of microsatellite markers, which are expensive and time-consuming to identify. Previous studies indicated a high potential of cross-amplification of microsatellites in Tetranychus species, meaning that the microsatellite flanking sequences are sufficiently homologous among Tetranychus species that the primers for one species may work in another species. Here, we tested 205 primer pairs designed from the whole genome sequence of Tetranychus urticae Koch, a sister species of T. truncatus, for microsatellite markers in three populations of T. truncatus in China (N = 94). About half (102) of these primer pairs yielded the desired PCR products, 36 of which revealed polymorphism in T. truncatus. Each of the 36 markers harbored between 2 and 23 alleles, with a mean polymorphic information content of 0.589 (0.119–0.922 range). The mean observed and expected heterozygosity across loci and the three populations were 0.468 and 0.628, respectively. Of the 36 primer pairs, 22 also worked in Tetranychus piercei, but only a few of them worked in T. ludeni and T. phaselus. Cross-amplification is thus a cost-effective way to develop microsatellite markers, which can be of great value in population genetics studies. 相似文献
