Five different ribosomal DNA (rDNA) intergenic spacer-length variants (slvs) were detected among the maize inbreds which were the progenitors of Iowa Stiff Stalk Synthetic (BSSS). One rDNASstI restriction site polymorphism in the 3 region of the 26S gene was detected. Nine different rDNA intergenic spacer (IGS) hybridization fragment patterns (assigned letter designations A-I) were observed among the BSSS progenitors. Following 7 cycles of half-sib recurrent selection in BSSS using the Ia13 double cross as a tester, hybridization fragment pattern E became predominant in the population. In contrast, 11 cycles of reciprocal recurrent selection in BSSS with the Iowa Corn Borer Synthetic No. 1 (BSCB1) population resulted in hybridization pattern D becoming predominant. Hybridization pattern E is present in the elite inbreds B14, B37, B73, and B84, which were derived from different cycles of the BSSS half-sib recurrent selection program with Ia13. Hybridization pattern D is present in the elite inbreds B89 and B94, which were derived from different cycles of the BSSS reciprocal recurrent selection program with BSCB1. Therefore, two different forms of recurrent selection on BSSS resulted in different hybridization patterns becoming predominant in the selected populations and present in elite inbreds derived from the populations. These results also suggest that rDNA IGS hybridization fragment patterns D and E, which both have the longest slv detected, may have a selective or adaptive advantage in BSSS materials grown in the Corn Belt. 相似文献

The effects of breeding on allele frequency changes at 82 restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) loci were examined
in two maize (Zea mays L.) populations undergoing reciprocal recurrent selection, Iowa Stiff Stalk Synthetic and Iowa Corn Borer Synthetic #1. After
12 cycles of selection, approximately 30% of the alleles were extinct and 10% near fixation in each population. A test of
selective neutrality identified several loci in each population whose allele frequency changes cannot be explained by genetic
drift; interpopulation mean expected heterozygosity increased for that subset of 28 loci but not for the remaining 54 loci.
Mean expected heterozygosity within the two subpopulations decreased 39%, while the between-population component of genetic
variation increased from 0.5% to 33.4% of the total. Effective population size is a key parameter for discerning allele frequency
changes due to genetic drift versus those resulting from selection and genetic hitchhiking. Empirical estimates of effective
population size for each population were within the range predicted by the breeding method.

An analysis by restriction endonuclease digestion of ribosomal DNA (rDNA) was carried out in natural populations of Apodemus speciosus, a field mouse that is endemic to Japan. Two restriction sites, the EcoRI (E3) and DraI (D4) sites, in the nontranscribed spacer region downstream from the gene for 28S RNA showed polymorphism within and between individuals in the populations from the Japanese main islands. By contrast, populations from the small adjoining islands which are thought to have separated from the main islands 1–2 × 104 years ago showed relatively low levels of polymorphism within and between individuals, i.e., one of the polymorphic bands in the case of each enzyme was predominant in these populations, irrespective of the variants. These results indicate that the rate of fixation of site variations depends on population size and that the direction of fixation is random. Furthermore, each polymorphic restriction site seems to be fixed independently.Correspondence to: H. Suzuki 相似文献

Restriction endonuclease fragment analysis of nuclear ribosomal DNA (rDNA) was completed on 25 individuals each from seven populations of theLisianthius skinneri (Gentianaceae) species complex in Panama. Seven restriction enzymes were used to determine the amount and type of rDNA variation within and among individuals of the populations. No restriction site variation was seen within populations or individuals although site differences were seen among populations. Spacer length variation within and among individuals of populations was mapped to the internal transcribed spacer (ITS) region between the 18S and 5.8S rRNA genes, a region inLisianthius rDNA that previously was shown to exhibit length differences among populations. This is the first reported case of such variation within and among individuals of populations for the ITS region. Presence or absence of ITS spacer length variation is not correlated with levels of isozymic heterozygosity within populations. No detectable length variation within individuals or populations was seen in the larger intergenic spacer (IGS). Although populations varied with respect to IGS length, all individuals of a given population had a single and equivalent IGS length. 相似文献

Summary The intergenic spacer of a rice ribosomal RNA gene repeating unit has been completely sequenced. The spacer contains three imperfect, direct repeated regions of 264–253 bp, followed by a related but more highly divergent region. Detailed analysis of the sequence allows the presentation of an evolutionary scenario in which the 264–253-bp repeats are derived from an ancestral 150-bp sequence by deletion and amplification. Comparison of the rice sequence with those of maize, wheat, and rye shows that, despite considerable divergence from the ancestral sequence, several regions have been highly conserved, suggesting that they may play an important role in the structure and/or expression of the ribosomal genes.Abbreviations IGS

Restriction site and length polymorphism of the rDNA unit in the cultivated basidiomycetePleurotus cornucopiae 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1

In the ribosomal DNA unit ofPleurotus cornucopiae, the rDNA coding regions are in the order 5, 5S-18S-5.8S-25S, 3, with the 5 location of the 5S gene differing from its 3 location found in other basidiomycetes. The most discriminating probe used to study the rDNA polymorphism consisted of a fragment that included the 5S, 18S and part of the 5.8S and 25S genes flanking three intergenic sequences. A high degree of rDNA polymorphism was observed in the sevenP. cornucopiae dikaryons studied. For the first time within a basidiomycete species, the restrictions maps distinguished two types of rDNA units (I and II). In each rDNA type, length variations in the external intergenic sequence IGS 1 located between the 25S and 5S genes allowed characterization of two different rDNA units in type I and four rDNA units in type II. This suggested that theP. cornucopiae rDNA units were derived from two kinds of ancestors (type I and II) by insertion or deletion events (100–700 bp) in the IGS 1. In four dikaryotic strains, two rDNA units of the same type (I or II) differing only by the IGS 1 length, were found in a similar number of copies, and presented a meiotic segregation in homokaryotic progeny. In one progeny, some homokaryotic strains possessed two different rDNA units: one with a high copy number and another with a lower one, showing that two different rDNA units could coexist in a single nucleus. 相似文献

A recently described PCR-based method for the analysis of intergenic spacer (IGS) length variation in the ribosomal (r) DNA of Drosophila melanogaster was used to analyse the distribution of IGS length variants in the rDNA of a number of recently collected D. melanogaster populations. One group of populations, from Europe and North Africa, was shown to have low intrapopulation IGS length variation following maintenance of massed populations in the laboratory for an extended period. However, a greater degree of IGS profile variability was detected at a number of levels in the majority of laboratory-maintained isofemale lines from two of these populations plus a second group of populations which were collected more recently from the eastern coast of Australia; all of which were immediately divided into isofemale lines following collection. Interestingly, PCR analysis of pooled DNA extracts from 30 individuals of either sex showed almost identical PCR profiles from each of the Australian populations. These preliminary results are discussed with regard to the possible combinations of forces (natural selection, neutral drift and genomic molecular drive) on the patterns of IGS length variation. 相似文献

Structure of the intergenic spacer region from the ribosomal RNA gene family of white spruce (Picea glauca) 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
Five genomic clones containing ribosomal DNA repeats from the gymnosperm white spruce (Picea glauca) have been isolated and characterized by restriction enzyme analysis. No nucleotide variation or length variation was detected within the region encoding the ribosomal RNAs. Four clones which contained the intergenic spacer (IGS) region from different rDNA repeats were further characterized to reveal the sub-repeat structure within the IGS. The sub-repeats were unusually long, ranging from 540 to 990 bp but in all other respects the structure of the IGS was very similar to the organization of the IGS from wheat, Drosophila and Xenopus. 相似文献

The 17s-5.8s-25s ribosomal RNA gene (rDNA) loci in Oryza spp. were identified by the fluorescence in-situ hybridization (FISH) method. The rDNA loci were located on one-to-three chromosomes (two-to-six sites) within the eight diploid Oryza spp. One of the rDNA loci gave the weakest hybridization signal. This locus is reported for the first time in the genus Oryza. The chromosomes containing the rDNA loci were determined to be numbers 9, 10 and 11 in descending order of the copy number of rDNA. The application of image analysis methods, after slide preparation treatments (post-treatments), and the use of a thermal cycler, greatly improved the reproducibility of the results. The evolutionary significance of the variability of rDNA loci among the Oryza spp. is discussed. 相似文献

Summary Grain isozyme and ribosomal DNA (rDNA) variability was examined in Hordeum spontaneum populations sampled from 27 geographical sites in Israel. Considerable phenotypic variability was observed with variants of ADH1, EST3, EST10, BMY1 and WSP detected, which are not available in the H. vulgare gene pool. Seven new rDNA phenotypes were detected in the H. spontaneum populations. Shannon's index of diversity was used to partition the total phenotypic variation into between and within population components. Most of the variation occurred between H. spontaneum populations. The distribution of both grain isozyme and rDNA phenotypes was non-random and correlated with a range of ecogeographical factors. In particular, the G phenotype of BMY1 was restricted to the Negev Desert and Dead Sea regions of Israel. Over 78% of the variation in the frequency of this particular phenotype could be explained by the number of rainy days per year and mean temperature in January. This suggests that variation at this locus or at loci linked to it may be of adaptive significance and of value in the introgression of genes controlling abiotic stress tolerance from H. spontaneum into the H. vulgare gene pool. 相似文献

Ribosomal DNA genes fromP. deltoides have been cloned and specific sequences of the 25 S and 18 S rDNA region, labelled by digoxigenin, have been used to determine the rDNA structure ofPopulus tremula, P. fremontii, P. maximowiczii, P. yunnanensis, P. nigra, P. wislizenii, P. alba. The restriction maps of the coding region appeared to be similar among the examined species and with those ofP. deltoides andP. trichocarpa, reported in a previous paper. Inter- and intraspecific variation in rDNA repeat unit length have been revealed after EcoRI digestions. SstI and XbaI restriction sites have been found at different positions in the IGS of some species. The polymorphic fragments generated by SstI digestion allowed the identification of the hybrid origin of some genotypes. The number of rDNA genes in the genome ofP. deltoides has been estimated to be about 2 000 copies. Finally, the usefulness of these studies inPopulus spp. taxonomy and forestry genetics is discussed.Ribosomal RNA gene structure in somePopulus spp. (Salicaceae) and their hybrids 2. 相似文献

Entamoeba dispar andEntamoeba histolytica are now recognized as two distinct species-the former being nonpathogenic to humans. We had earlier studied the organization
of ribosomal RNA genes inE. histolytica. Here we report the analysis of ribosomal RNA genes inE. dispar. The rRNA genes ofE. dispar, like their counterpart inE. histolytica are located on a circular rDNA molecule. From restriction map analysis, the size ofE. dispar rDNA circle was estimated to be 24·4 kb. The size was also confirmed by linearizing the circle withBsaHI, and by limited DNAseI digestion. The restriction map of theE. dispar rDNA circle showed close similarity to EhR1, the rDNA circle ofE. histolytica strain HM-1:IMSS which has two rDNA units per circle. The various families of short tandem repeats found in the upstream
and downstream intergenic spacers (IGS) of EhR1 were also present inE. dispar. Partial sequencing of the cloned fragments ofE. dispar rDNA and comparison with EhR1 revealed only 2·6% to 3·8% sequence divergence in the IGS. The region Tr and the adjoiningPvuI repeats in the IGS of EhR1, which are missing in thoseE. histolytica strains that have one rDNA unit per circle, were present in theE. dispar rDNA circle. Such close similarity in the overall organization and sequence of the IGS of rDNAs of two different species
is uncommon. In fact the spacer sequences were only slightly more divergent than the 18S rRNA gene sequence which differs
by 1·6% in the two species. The most divergent sequence betweenE. histolytica andE. dispar was the internal transcribed spacer, ITS2. Therefore, it was concluded that probes derived from the ITS1 and ITS 2 sequences
would be more reliable and reproducible than probes from the IGS regions used earlier for identifying these species. 相似文献

Summary An analysis is presented of genetic differentiation in the non-transcribed spacers of ribosomal DNA (NTS rDNA). Diversity, environmental correlates and the phylogenetic relationships are examined within and between species of the actively speciating subterranean mole rat, superspeciesSpalax ehrenbergi (2n=52, 54, 58, 60) in Israel. This analysis is based on a previous study of the geographic distribution of restriction fragment length polymorphisms of NTS rDNA. Here we present results indicating that NTS rDNA diversity exists mostly (66%) within populations, while 20% is between populations within species, and 14% between species. Multivariate discriminant analysis succeeded in separating 10 of the 13 populations (77%) into their correct chromosomal species, on the basis of the combination of three NTS rDNA repetypes. The phylogenetic relationships suggest that the complex involves two pairs of closely related species (2n=52–54 and 2n=58–60). NTS rDNA diversity, as well as the decrease southward in frequency of repetype C, are correlated with climatic factors of humidity and temperature. These data are discussed in terms of the evolutionary forces of migration and selection which may cause NTS rDNA differentiation. Climatic selection appears to be the major differentiating factor of NTS rDNA. 相似文献

Although maize is naturally an outcrossing organism, modern breeding utilizes highly inbred lines in controlled crosses to produce hybrids. The U.S. Department of Agriculture’s reciprocal recurrent selection experiment between the Iowa Stiff Stalk Synthetic (BSSS) and the Iowa Corn Borer Synthetic No. 1 (BSCB1) populations represents one of the longest running experiments to understand the response to selection for hybrid performance. To investigate the genomic impact of this selection program, we genotyped the progenitor lines and >600 individuals across multiple cycles of selection using a genome-wide panel of ∼40,000 SNPs. We confirmed previous results showing a steady temporal decrease in genetic diversity within populations and a corresponding increase in differentiation between populations. Thanks to detailed historical information on experimental design, we were able to perform extensive simulations using founder haplotypes to replicate the experiment in the absence of selection. These simulations demonstrate that while most of the observed reduction in genetic diversity can be attributed to genetic drift, heterozygosity in each population has fallen more than expected. We then took advantage of our high-density genotype data to identify extensive regions of haplotype fixation and trace haplotype ancestry to single founder inbred lines. The vast majority of regions showing such evidence of selection differ between the two populations, providing evidence for the dominance model of heterosis. We discuss how this pattern is likely to occur during selection for hybrid performance and how it poses challenges for dissecting the impacts of modern breeding and selection on the maize genome. 相似文献

African cultivated rice, Oryza glaberrima Steud., was cytologically characterized by using both karyotype analysis and molecular cytology. The somatic chromosomes resemble those of Asian cultivated rice, Oryza sauva L., in general morphology, although some minor differences were noted. Multicolor fluorescence in situ hybridization (McFISH) with chromosomes detected one 45s (17s-5.8s-25s) ribosomal RNA gene locus (45s rDNA) and one 5s ribosomal RNA gene locus (5s rDNA) in the chromosome complement. The 45s rDNA and 5s rDNA loci were physically mapped to the distal end of the short arm of chromosome 9 and to the proximal region of the short arm of chromosome 11 respectively, as in O. sativa. Based on the cytological observations and the physical map of the rDNA loci, the chromosomal organization of O.glaberrima and O. sativa seems to be very similar. 相似文献

The molecular organization of the 18S, 5.8S, and 28S ribosomal RNA gene repeat units, located at the single nucleolus organizer region (NOR) locus in the chicken, was investigated in genetically distinct populations of research and commercial chickens. Substantial gene repeat variation within and among NORs was documented. Intact ribosomal gene repeat size ranged from 11 kb to over 50 kb. Unique combinations of ribosomal genes, of different size, were specific to particular populations. It was determined that the basis for the ribosomal gene repeat size variation was intergenic spacer (IGS) length heterogeneity. Interestingly, in different populations, the location of the variation that contributes to length heterogeneity was specific to particular IGS subregions. In addition to IGS variation, an inbred line of Red Jungle Fowl exhibited coding region variation. Ribosomal gene copy number variation was also studied, and line averages ranged from 279 to 368. Average rDNA array size (a function of copy number and gene repeat length) was calculated for each of the populations and found to vary over a range of two megabases, from 5 to 7 Mb. 相似文献

Genetic variation was assessed among cultivated and wild hop, Humulus lupulus, by restriction fragment length polymorphisms (RFLPs) of the ribosomal RNA genes (rDNA). Two rDNA length variants of 10.3 and 9.3 kbp represented by three phenotypes designated A, B and C were detected with XhoI. Restriction-site mapping showed that hop rDNA is structurally similar to those of most higher plants. A high level of homogeneity existed in rDNA repeat lengths among the diverse hop genotypes. Generally, phenotype A was predominant in wild and cultivated European and Asian genotypes; phenotype B in North American cultivars; while phenotype C was present only in native North American hop, providing a potential molecular marker for the identification of this germ plasm. The rDNA data provided genetic evidence for the separation of native and cultivated American genotypes and supports the hypothesis that North American hop cultivars are of hybrid origin from European and native American genotypes. The segregation of rDNA phenotypes in four F1 families suggests that a single locus with two co-dominant alleles controls genetic variability for rDNA variants in hop. 相似文献

Summary By means of Southern blot hybridization, the structure of the ribosomal DNA in six species of theCynareae tribe has been analyzed. Artichoke and wild artichoke possess only one type of ribosomal genes 13 kb long;Onopordum acanthium has at least two types of rDNA repeats 9.9 kb and 10.3 kb long andO. illyricum has a third gene type 9.7 kb long; inGalactites tomentosa there are at least four ribosomal gene types of 10.9, 11.6, 11.5, and 10kb;Carduus nutans possesses two ribosomal gene types of the same length of 12.5 kb that vary in the nucleotide sequence of the external spacer. The rRNA genes of all the species studied have an identical restriction mapping in the 18 S and 25 S regions, differences in length and/or nucleotide sequence are present in the external spacer. 相似文献

Summary Variation in the intergenic spacer of ribosomal DNA (rDNA) was detected among individual plants of the open-pollinated maize variety Hays Golden and populations derived from this variety. rDNA intergenic spacer-length variants were detected at approximately 200 bp intervals, consistent with the number of 200 bp subrepeats as the basis for this variation. Inheritance data revealed that more than one spacer-length class may be present on an individual chromosome. Fourteen different predominant rDNA intergenic spacer hybridization fragment patterns were detected. C-29, a population developed by 29 cycles of mass-selecting Hay Golden for high grain yield, exhibited a significant change in rDNA intergenic spacer hybridization fragment pattern composition in comparison to Hays Golden. This change included a reduction in frequency of the shortest predominant space-length variant (3.4 kb) and an increase in a 5.2 -kb hybridization fragment. I-31, a population developed through thermal neutron irradiation of Hays Golden and 31 generations of mass selection for high grain yield, did not exhibit a significant change in overall rDNA intergenic spacer composition. I-31 did exhibit an increase in frequency of the 5.2-kb hybridization fragment and a significant change in two specific hybridization fragment patterns that had also changed in C-29. These data, particularly for the C-29 population, suggest that rDNA intergenic spacer-length variants and/or associated loci were influenced by selection.Paper No. 8701, Journal Series, Nebraska Agricultural Research Division 相似文献

Three different amphiploid lines originated from crosses between wheat (Triticum L.) and lymegrass (Leymus Hochst.) were analysed by fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) using total genomic DNA and 18S.26S ribosomal genes (rDNA). Based on the genomic probes, these lines
were the same in that they all were allohexaploids (2n=6x=42) containing 30 wheat and 12 lymegrass chromosomes. The ribosomal
gene mapping further identified species origin of the chromosomes, whereby the lymegrass parent was undoubtedly L. mollis and the wheat was likely to be a Triticum species having the AB genomes. This rDNA mapping was also able to reveal differences in the genome composition among these
lines, and such differences were mainly in the wheat nucleolar organizing regions (Nor). The first line (M) had two Nor-B1 (1BS), the second line (G) had one Nor-B1 (1BS), two Nor-B2 (6BS) and two Nor-A1 (1AS), whereas the third line (U) had the same Nor loci as the second line but two sites each. The wheat ribosomal genes were variably expressed depending on the lines, but
the lymegrass loci appeared inactive. All three lines had the same Nor loci belonging to L. mollis, two Nor-m1 and two Nor-m2. Analysis of restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) of the rDNA confirmed the identity of L. mollis parent in all three lines and verified the differences in the wheat ribosomal genes among them. These amphiploids were, however,
similar in their restriction profiles, therefore indicating common origin. The molecular and cytogenetic evidence here suggested
that these annual, fully fertile amphiploids that originated from the same crosses 40 years ago became genetically differentiated
and fixed in stable forms.
