中华鲟天然群体蛋白质水平遗传多样性

为了阐明我国Ⅰ级珍稀水生保护动物中华鲟(Acipenser sinensis)天然群体的遗传结构和遗传多样性特征,为其资源的监测与保护提供科学依据,采用聚丙烯酰胺梯度凝胶电泳技术对中华鲟天然群体进行了蛋白质遗传多态性研究。共研究了15种蛋白质,有4种蛋白无活 性或活性很低,在有活性的11种蛋白中共测得26个座位;在26个座位中,只有1个座位(MDH-1)为多态座位。中华鲟多态座位比例(P)为3.90%,遗传杂合度(H)为0.04,均远 远低于其他鱼类P和H值的平均水平,说明中华鲟在蛋白质水平上的遗传变异较贫乏,与其他鲟鱼类的情况类似。     

中国猕猴类的蛋白多态性及其遗传分化关系

采用蛋白电泳分析技术研究了来源于我国和越南的猕猴属（Ｇｅｎ ｕｓＭａｃａｃａ）５个种（Ｍ．ｍｕｌａｔｔａ、Ｍ．ａｒｃｔｏｉｄｅｓ、Ｍ．ａｓｓａｍｅｎｓｉｓ、Ｍ．ｔｈｉｂｅｔａｎａ、Ｍ．ｆａｓｃｉｃｕｌａｒｉｓ）的蛋白多态性及其遗传分化关系。共分传座位３０个。在分析的１９只恒河猴中,３０个遗传座有位９个座位表现出多态性,多态座位百分比Ｐ＝０．３,平均等位基因数Ａ＝１．４,平均杂合度Ｈ＝０．０１０４５     

独龙牛遗传多样性及其种群遗传结构的等位酶分析

采用水平片淀粉凝胶电泳技术,进行３０头独牛牛４１种蛋白质共计４４个遗传座位的等位酶分析,只在Ｔｒ,Ｈｐ,Ａｍｙ,Ｅｓｔ等４个座位发现多态性。每个座位等基因的平均数、多态座位百分比和平均杂合度值分别为Ａ＝１．０９０９、Ｐ＝０．０６８２和Ｈ＝０．０２６２。贡山县和福贡县独龙牛群体从酶基因的角度上看遗传多样性贫乏,可能是分别由小种群引种而来,受到瓶颈效应的作用,并伴随着创立者事件的发生。我们结合独龙牛在     

苍术（Atractybeslancea（Thunb．）DC．）种内遗传多样性分析

分析了苍术（Ａｔｒａｃｔｙｌｏｄｅｓｌａｎｄｅａ（Ｔｈｕｎｂ．）ＤＣ．）５种等位酶（ＭＤＨ,ＧＤＨ,ＰＰＯ,ＳＯＤ,ＰＥＲ）１２个位点上２５个等位基因的分化特征。结果表明：群体内多态位点比例平均为０．６１,每个位点的平均杂合率为０．２６,每个位点发现的平均等位基因数为１．７８。苍术种内基因多样性的８６％产生在群体内,群体间分化的明显效果为１４％。所有配对组合,群体间的平均遗传距离是０．１１,遗传同一性是０．９０。说明苍术种内变异很大。同时探讨茅苍术的分类位置,认为茅苍术不是苍术和白术的杂交种。     

中国5个地方牦牛品种遗传多样性的微卫星分析

本文以大额牛（Bos frontalis）为外群,应用16对微卫星DNA标记结合荧光-多重PCR技术,评估了5个中国地方牦牛（Bos grunniens）（帕里牦牛、斯布牦牛、西藏高山牦牛、麦洼牦牛和九龙牦牛）品种内遗传变异和品种间遗传关系。6个群体的16个微卫星座位上共检测到159个等位基因,其中有33个等位基因为5个牦牛品种所特有。6个群体的有效等位基因数（Ne）在2.2043-3.2754之间,平均杂合度（H）在0.4858-0.6153之间,平均多态信息含量（PIC）在0.4230-0.5711之间。5个牦牛品种的微卫星座位有丰富的遗传多样性;而大额牛的遗传多样性相对较贫乏。5个牦牛群体间的遗传分化系数（Gst）为0.0527,表明牦牛亚群体间遗传分化水平很低。采用邻近结合法构建聚类图和模糊聚类分析表明,5个牦牛品种分为两大类,其中斯布牦牛、西藏高山牦牛、帕里牦牛和麦洼牦牛为一大类,九龙牦牛为一类。研究结果将为中国地方牦牛品种的保护和利用提供重要的理论依据。     

中国地方黄牛的遗传多样性*

中国黄牛起源复杂,我国地方黄牛群体不同品种在毛色、形态外貌、细胞遗传学、血液蛋白座位分析均表现出多样性。计算我国黄牛群体6个毛色座位平均杂合度和6个血液蛋白座位平均杂合度分别为0.3144和0.4873,表明我国地方黄牛群体的遗传多样性非常丰富。计算我国黄牛群体的6个毛色座位和6个血液蛋白座位的基因分化系数分别为0.3404和0.095,表明我国黄牛群体毛色差异中有34.04％是由品种间的差异造成的。血液蛋白的多态性有9.5％是由品种间的差异造成的。我国黄牛群体的遗传多样性主要来自品种内的遗传多样性。保存我国黄牛品种资源多样性不仅要从整个中国黄牛群体上考虑,而且要针对每个品种（或类群）进行保种。     

云南文山黄牛和迪庆黄牛遗传多样性的蛋白电泳研究

采用水平淀粉胶蛋白电泳技术分析了云南文山黄牛和迪庆黄牛的３３种血液蛋白及同工酶,共计３７个遗传座位,其中６个座位检测到多态性。文山黄牛的多态座位百分比Ｐ＝０．１３８９,平均杂合度Ｈ＝０．０６１０,迪庆黄牛Ｐ＝０．１６６７,Ｈ＝０．０６９１。通过Ｎｅｉ氏遗传距离计算,运用ＰＨＹＬＩＰ３．５Ｃ软件包中的“ＵＰＧＭＡ”,“ＣＯＮＴＭＬ”和“ＮＥＩＧＨＢＯＲ”法,结合前人报道的数据对１０个黄牛品种进行聚类分析。结果得出：文山黄牛可能主要起源于瘤牛（Ｂｏｓｉｎｄｉｃｕｓ）,迪庆黄牛可能主要起源于普通黄牛（Ｂｏｓｔａｕｒｕｓ）。我们的结果提示,云南黄牛可能是由当地人驯化的野生牛群与外来的驯化牛群相结合并适应当地气候和环境逐渐形成的,因而在蛋白水平上具有较为丰富的多样性。     

云南姬鼠的蛋白多态性及其遗传分化关系

本文采用蛋白电泳技术对来源于云南省若干地区的姬鼠属（Ａｐｏｄｅｍｕｓ）的３种姬鼠──高山姬鼠（Ａ．ｃｈｅｖｒｉｅｒｉ）８只,中华姬鼠（Ａ．ｄｒａｃｏ）３只和大耳姬鼠（Ａ．ｌａｔｒｏｎｕｍ）１只,以及作为外群的同科的绒鼠属的大绒鼠（Ｈａｐａｌｏｍｙｓｄｅｌａｌｏｒｉ）３只进行了分析。共检测遗传座位２７个,发现２１个座位存在多态性。根据蛋白多态的数据对研究对象进行遗传分化关系的探讨,用系统分析软件ＰＨＹＬＩＰ计算它们之间的分化关系,得到了一棵无根系统树。结果表明,作为外群的大绒鼠明显不同于其它３种姬鼠而聚在最外面。８只高山姬鼠个体汇聚成独立的一支,中华姬鼠的３个个体也聚成一支,但大耳姬鼠却聚在中华姬鼠一支中,因此我们认为大耳姬鼠同中华姬鼠的分化时间可能比较晚近。     

运用微卫星DNA标记分析我国野生鹌鹑遗传多样性

运用微卫星DNA标记对我国境内分布的两种野生鹌鹁（野生日本鸣鹁、野生普通鹌鹑）和家鹑群体的遗传多样性进行分析。通过计算反映群体变异的多态信息含量（PIC）、固定指数、平均杂合度、基因分化系数等相关指标,结果表明：野生普通鹌鹑群体遗传多样性更为丰富,每个座位平均检测出4．67个等位基因,群体多态信息含量和平均杂合度亦为最高,分别为0．5732和0．6621;家鹁最低,分别为0．5467和0．5933;野生日本鸣鹑介于两者之间;在3个鹌鹑群体中,野生日本鸣鹑与家鹑群体遗传多样性差异程度较小。以标准遗传距离为基础的模糊聚类分析发现：家鹑与野生日本鸣鹑群体模糊等价矩阵系数为0．937,而与野生普通鹌鹑的系数为0．738,这也表明家鹑与野生日本鸣鹁有更近的亲缘关系,进一步从分子水平上证实家鹑起源于野生日本鸣鹁。

中华鲟的保护生物学研究进展

中华鲟是一种洄游性的鲟科鱼类,平时生活于海洋,亲鲟成熟后溯游到江河里繁殖。在长江葛洲坝修筑以前,中华鲟产卵场位于长江上游和金沙江下游江段。６０－７０年代中期,一些科研单位对上游中华鲟繁殖群体及产卵场等进行了较为全面的调查,撰写出现敢《长江鲟鱼类生物学与人工繁殖研究》,中华鲟的人工繁殖也于１９７１年产首获成功。葛洲坝枢纽建成以后,中华鲟繁殖群体被阻隔于葛洲坝下游宜昌江段,围绕大坝对中华鲟生存带来的不     

Effects of damming on population sustainability of Chinese sturgeon, <Emphasis Type="Italic">Acipenser sinensis</Emphasis>: evaluation of optimal conservation measures

The numbers of spawning sites for Chinese sturgeon have been drastically reduced since the construction of the Gezhouba Dam across the Yangtze River. This dam has blocked migration of Chinese sturgeon to their historic spawning ground causing a significant decline of the Chinese sturgeon population. We conducted a VORTEX population viability analysis to estimate the sustainability of the population and to quantify the efficiency of current and alternative conservation procedures. The model predicted the observed decline of Chinese sturgeon, resulting from the effect of the Gezhouba Dam. These simulations demonstrated the potential interest of two conservation measures: increasing spawning area and reducing predation on sturgeon eggs. The simulations also demonstrated that the actual restocking program is not sufficient to sustain sturgeon population as the artificial reproduction program induce the loss of more wild mature adults that the recruitment expected by the artificial reproduction.     

Genetic diversity in the Chinese pangolin (Manis pentadactyla) inferred from protein electrophoresis

We examined protein polymorphism of Chinese pangolins (Manis pentadactyla) from Yunnan Province of China, including two forms of three brown and nine dusky Chinese pangolins. Sixty-two genetic loci were screened; 12 loci were found to be polymorphic. The percentage of polymorphic loci (P) is 0.194, the mean individual heterozygosity (H) is 0.078, and the mean number of alleles (A) is 1.258. Furthermore, we calculated the genetic distance (D) between the two forms and found a low level of genetic divergence (D=0.0206) between them, which indicates an almost-indistinguishable divergence at the level of proteins.     

湖鲟微卫星DNA引物应用于中华鲟亲子关系分析的初步研究

利用湖鲟(Acipenser fulvescens)的4对微卫星引物对中华鲟随机个体样本进行PCR扩增,分析电泳结果发现,4对引物均可在中华鲟个体中得到稳定的同源序列,其中2对引物所探测到的等位基因数目较多,在个体间表现出较高的多态性,利用它们产生的DNA指纹图谱,能够对1999年度获得的中华鲟亲鱼样本进行有效的个体区分。并且这两对湖鲟的微卫星引物在对1999年度已知亲本的同一家系中的中华鲟随机个体的分析中,表现为按照孟德尔方式进行共显性遗传。证明这2对微卫星引物可以用于鉴别中华鲟人工放流个体和自然繁殖个体。     

Development and standardization of disomic microsatellite markers for lake sturgeon genetic studies

Lake sturgeon (Acipenser fulvescens) are of conservation concern in North America. To facilitate the recovery of this fish species, an understanding of their population genetic structure is necessary to develop and implement spatially and temporally appropriate management actions. Until recently, few genetic data using nuclear loci have been collected, primarily due to the paucity of suitable genetic markers because most microsatellite loci in lake sturgeon appeared to be tetrasomic. The authors identified nine microsatellite loci (from 254 examined) that were putative polymorphic disomic loci and tested their conformance to a disomic mode of inheritance using three lake sturgeon families. The objectives of the study were to: (i) confirm the disomic status of the nine loci through inheritance testing, and (ii) standardize the genetic markers among participating laboratories. At all nine loci, disomic inheritance were confirmed, and all nine loci segregated independently in the 26 of 36 loci pairs possible to test. One of the nine loci showed non‐Mendelian segregation, possibly due to meiotic drive and/or selection. Three progeny had peak patterns inconsistent with disomy at one or more loci. The nine loci when combined with four microsatellite loci previously confirmed in other studies as disomic in lake sturgeon now yield a suite of 13 microsatellite markers. These 13 markers have been standardized among four other laboratories to facilitate building an inter‐laboratory genetic database for lake sturgeon.     

Origin of the Koreans: a population genetic study.

A population genetic study was undertaken to investigate the origin of Koreans. Thirteen polymorphic and 7 monomorphic blood genetic markers (serum proteins and red cell enzymes) were studied in a group of 437 Koreans. Genetic distance analyses by both cluster and principal components models were performed between Koreans and eight other populations (Koreans in China, Japanese, Han Chinese, Mongolians, Zhuangs, Malays, Javanese, and Soviet Asians) on the basis of 47 alleles controlled by 15 polymorphic loci. A more detailed analysis using 65 alleles at 19 polymorphic loci was performed on six populations. Both analyses demonstrated genetic evidence of the origin of Koreans from the central Asian Mongolians. Further, the Koreans are more closely related to the Japanese and quite distant from the Chinese. The above evidence of the origin of Koreans fits well with the ethnohistoric account of the origin of Koreans and the Korean language. The minority Koreans in China also maintained their genetic identity.     

Biology, fisheries, and conservation of sturgeons and paddlefish in China

This paper reviews five of the eight species of acipenseriforms that occur in China, chiefly those of the Amur and Yangtze rivers. Kaluga Huso dauricus and Amur sturgeon Acipenser schrenckii are endemic to the Amur River. Both species still support fisheries, but stocks are declining due to overfishing. Acipenseriformes of the Yangtze River are primarily threatened by hydroelectric dams that block free passage to spawning and feeding areas. The Chinese paddlefish Psephurus gladius now is rare in the Yangtze River system, and its spawning activities were severely limited by completion of the Gezhouba Dam in 1981. Since 1988, only 3–10 adult paddlefishes per year have been found below the dam. Limited spawning still exists above the dam, but when the new Three Gorges Dam is complete, it will further threaten the paddlefish. Artificial propagation appears to be the only hope for preventing extinction of P. gladius, but it has yet to be successfully bred in captivity. Dabry's sturgeon A. dabryanus is a small, exclusively freshwater sturgeon found only in the Yangtze River system. It is concentrated today in reaches of the main stream above Gezhouba Dam. The fishery has been closed since 1983, but populations continue to decline. Acipenser dabryanus has been cultured since the 1970s, and holds promise for commercial aquaculture; availability of aquacultural methods offers hope for enhancing natural populations. The Chinese sturgeon A. sinensis occurs in the Yangtze and Pearl rivers and seas of east Asia. There is still disagreement about the taxonomy of the Pearl and Yangtze River populations. The Yangtze River population is anadromous. Adults begin spawning at about age 14 years (males) and 21 years (females), and adults spend over 15 months in the river for reproduction. Spawning sites of A. sinensis were found every year since 1982 below the Gezhouba Dam, but it seems that insufficient suitable ground is available for spawning. Since 1983, commercial fishing has been prohibited but more measures need to be taken such as establishing protected areas and characterizing critical spawning, summering and wintering habitats.     

Assessing the effect of Separation Levee Project on Chinese sturgeon (<Emphasis Type="Italic">Acipensor sinensis</Emphasis>) spawning habitat suitability in Yangtze River,China

Chinese sturgeon (Acipenser sinensis) is a protected anadromous fish species. The migration pattern of the fish has been blocked by the construction of Gezhouba Dam, reducing the natural spawning site length to less than 7 km along the Yangtze River. However, the fish has since established an alternative spawning ground in the narrow reach downstream of Gezhouba Dam. To enhance navigation, a Separation Levee Project (SLP) was implemented in the new-found spawning habitat of the fish. To therefore evaluate the effect of the SLP on Chinese sturgeon spawning habitat suitability, the conditions in the spawning habitat were simulated using River2D (a two-dimensional hydrodynamic model). Two main approaches (habitat kinetic energy and circulation metrics) were used in the simulation. The study showed that SLP only slightly changed the physical conditions in the spawning habitat. Using hydrodynamic simulation, the weighted usable area (WUA) before and after the SLP construction was also computed and habitat preference curve developed for water depth and velocity. On the average, SLP reduced WUA—a finding that was consistent with field-measured data. Based on WUA, the habitat conditions were more sensitive to SLP proximity than metrics based on velocity gradients. SLP posed detrimental impacts on the suitability of spawning habitats of Chinese sturgeon. The findings in this study provide further basis for the protection and restoration of Chinese sturgeon spawning habitats in especially the lower reach of Yangtze River.     

中华鲟的性腺发育与退化问题研究

中华鲟(Acipenser sinensis) 是我国的一级重点保护野生动物, 也是长江水生动物保护的旗舰物种。近年来, 中华鲟已多次被监测到未进行野外自然繁殖, 其生存前景堪忧。有关其没有繁殖的原因存在多方面的争议, 尤其是黄真理等提出葛洲坝水利枢纽修建造成中华鲟性腺退化严重, 是导致中华鲟种群数量急剧减少的主要因素; 同时, 还宣称“中科院水生所有关否定中华鲟性腺退化的方法和材料, 是不充分和不可靠的”。为了避免该错误观点对中华鲟的保护造成误导, 文章从中华鲟的性腺发育过程及退化的判断标准、中华鲟的生活史阶段及性腺状态、葛洲坝与三峡工程对中华鲟繁殖影响等方面, 分析该观点的谬误之处。柯福恩等将正常发育的中华鲟III期性腺误判为是“退化性腺”; 文章认为刚进入长江不久的中华鲟亲鱼即出现性腺退化, 不符合中华鲟性腺发育的规律。多年监测数据显示, 葛洲坝水利枢纽导致中华鲟洄游距离缩短并没有改变中华鲟繁殖的时间格局, 也没有改变中华鲟性腺成熟的比例。黄真理等歪曲他人实际监测的数据, 提出的洄游距离影响中华鲟性腺发育的模型纯粹是不懂鱼类生物学的人玩弄的数学游戏。尽管现阶段中华鲟的保护确实遇到了困境, 但随着“长江十年禁渔”的实施, 电捕和滚钩等彻底取缔, 限制产卵场区域人类活动, 加强中华鲟野外产卵场的修复, 并进行更大规格、更大规模的群体放流, 中华鲟的种群还是有可能恢复的。
