菲律宾蛤仔大连群体不同世代的遗传多样性

采用12对有效微卫星引物对大连群体菲律宾蛤仔连续4个选育世代(F₁、F₂、F₃、F₄)的144个个体进行了遗传多样性分析。结果表明:共获121个等位基因,每个位点的等位基因数在2-6个不等,其大小在101-273 bp之间;各个世代平均等位基因数在3.75-4.58,平均观测杂合度在0.3391-0.3860之间。从F-检验结果上看,所有世代内有2个位点遗传分化较弱,8个位点遗传分化中等,2个位点遗传分化较大;配对比较F_st值(0.05-0.15)表明4个世代群体间遗传分化程度中等。F_is值表明有2个世代位点杂合度处于过剩状态;但对连续4个世代而言,每个世代均表现出一定程度的杂合子缺失。随着世代连续选育的进行,Nei氏遗传相似性逐渐减小(0.8203-0.8107-0.8031);遗传距离逐渐增大(0.1918-0.2099-0.2129);不同世代群体间遗传相似性系数为0.7873-0.8685,遗传距离为0.141-0.2391。4个世代平均PIC值为0.5055,表明选育后代遗传多样性较好,还有较大的选育潜力,可以继续进行上选。     

不同年龄段大连群体菲律宾蛤仔EST-SSR多样性

为查明年龄结构对菲律宾蛤仔同一群体内遗传多样的影响,采用14个SSR分子标记对大连石河不同年龄段的野生蛤仔进行了检测。结果表明:不同年龄段(1龄-Age1、2龄-Age2、3龄-Age3)蛤仔均维持着较高的遗传多样性。根据POPGENE 1.31和SPSS16.0统计分析显示,位点Rp-11、Rp-12、Rp-19对3个年龄段蛤仔的等位基因数差异极显著(P<0.01);位点Rp-20、Rp-24、Rp-27、Rp-30对其差异显著(P<0.05);剩余7个位点表现为差异不显著(P>0.05)。在平均水平上,每位点等位基因数目Na为4.3095,有效等位基因数目Ne为2.3729,多态位点百分数P(%)为14。观察杂合度和期望杂合度都比较高,观察杂合度平均为Ho=0.2335,期望杂合度平均为He=0.5140。而且,Ne和He随年龄的变化表现出Age2>Age3>Age1的趋势。各年龄段蛤仔——Age1、Age2、Age3的平均观察杂合度(Ho)和平均期望杂合度(He)分别为0.2357、0.2546、0.2159和0.4951、0.5286、0.5184。Age2的遗传多样性指数高于Age1及Age3,遗传分化相对较低。其中,Age1与Age3蛤仔遗传距离最小,D为0.0195,即变异很小;而Age1与Age2遗传距离较大,D为0.0437,变化范围不大(0.0195—0.0437)。从遗传一致度的数值上看了3个年龄段蛤仔的遗传相似程度很大,平均为0.9655。Age1与Age3遗传相似程度高达0.9807,而Age1与Age2相似程度较小为0.9572。说明不同年龄段蛤仔相似程度非常高。根据不同年龄段蛤仔的遗传距离,采用UPGMA平均聚类方法对其进行聚类可知,Age3与Age1蛤仔间遗传距离较小,与Age2蛤仔差异较大。通过对等位基因频率进行卡方检验发现,随着年龄结构的变化,部分基因基因频率减小;同时随着年龄的增长,有部分等位基因得到了纯化。大连群体蛤仔总的遗传分化较低,其遗传分化指数Fst为0.0248(Fst<0.05),遗传分化系数为0.02,说明总的遗传变异中有2%来自于不同年龄段的蛤仔之间。遗传距离和遗传一致度均值分别为0.035和0.9655,基因流(Nm=9.8238)相对流畅,进一步表明年龄结构对蛤仔种群内遗传分化的影响较小。     

基于转录组平台的蛤仔微卫星标记筛选

以菲律宾蛤仔转录组测序所得拼接序列为基础,采用MISA软件进行微卫星分析,对其中的145个微卫星位点进行引物设计,得到具有清晰扩增条带的微卫星位点58个。对大连庄河野生蛤仔群体的扩增结果表明,18个位点显示单态性,40个位点表现为多态性。该群体40个多态性微卫星位点得到的等位基因数在2—6之间,平均等位基因数为3.4250±0.9718,观测杂合度和期望杂合度分别在0.0000—1.0000和0.0615—0.7996之间,平均值分别为0.2727±0.2272和0.4739±0.1902,群体平均Nei指数为0.4664±0.1872。多态信息含量(PIC)在0.0586—0.7529之间,平均值为0.4148±0.1707,其中16个微卫星位点的PIC值大于0.5,为高度多态性,15个位点0.25PIC0.5,为中度多态性,其余9个为低度多态性。经Sequential Bonferroni校正的Hardy-Weinberg平衡检验,有10个位点尚未偏离平衡。基于转录组平台筛选微卫星标记的方法,在很大程度上推动了DNA分子标记的开发。研究开发的微卫星标记可用于蛤仔群体遗传学、遗传连锁图谱构建及其他相关研究,为蛤仔分子标记辅助育种及群体种质保护等工作提供技术支持。

菲律宾蛤仔(Ruditapes plilippinarum)大连群体两种壳型家系生长发育比较

通过对菲律宾蛤仔大连群体壳宽的选择,于2006年5月建立了壳宽型(WS)和壳扁型(PS)两个家系.对两种壳型亲本的鲜重、性比、产卵量及其子代的生长与存活进行了比较.结果表明:两种亲贝的鲜重差异显著(P＜0.05),WS、PS亲贝的雌雄比例分别为0.88 : 1、0.62 : 1,产卵量分别为124.19万/粒和408.50万/粒;两家系子代的卵径、D形幼虫大小、变态规格无显著差异(P＞0.05),但单水管、双水管稚贝的大小差异显著(P＜0.05);幼虫浮游期间(0～16日龄),WS和PS幼虫平均生长速度分别为(9.46±1.56)ìm d-1和 (9.60±0.38)ìm d-1,差异不显著(P＞0.05).12日龄前,WS和PS幼虫存活率差异不显著(P＞0.05),但16日龄时,WS幼虫存活率明显低于PS (P＜0.05).变态期间(16～24日龄),WS家系的生长速度((2.64±0.34)ìm d-1)显著地小于PS家系((3.91±0.67)ìm d-1) (P＜0.05),WS家系的变态率(5.32%±1.53%)也显著地小于PS家系(15.68%±3.06%) (P＜0.01).PS家系在稚贝的室内培育期间(24～60日龄)和生态池育成阶段(60～180日龄)的生长速度均显著地快于WS家系(P＜0.05);PS家系的存活率也均显著地高于WS家系(P＜0.05).     

菲律宾蛤仔的精子发生和精子超微结构

用透射电镜研究了菲律宾蛤仔(Ruditapes philippinarum)精子结构和精子发生过程中细胞形态结构的变化及细胞器的演变规律。菲律宾蛤仔雄性生殖细胞的形态由椭圆形渐变为辣椒状,细胞核的形态由椭圆形逐渐拉长,渐变为锥形。染色质的凝集经历：小颗粒团块状一较大颗粒均匀状一粗颗粒均匀状的过程。线粒体在演化过程中数量先增多后逐渐减少,嵴数逐渐增多,电子密度和体积逐渐增大。高尔基体在初级精母细胞期已经发育,随后的各期中发育良好,分泌旺盛。精细胞Ⅱ期,高尔基体分泌的潴泡开始融合,形成前顶体囊。精细胞Ⅲ期,高尔基体的分泌物仍不断融合。精细胞分化的后期,前顶体囊逐渐发育形成顶体。菲律宾蛤仔成熟精子呈长辣椒状,为原生型,由头部、中段和尾部构成。头部的顶体为细长柱形,末端渐细,电子密度较小;细胞核为锥形;中段线粒体4个,尾部鞭毛为典型的“9 2”型结构。此外在成熟精子线粒体环横切面有一特殊“风车状”结构。     

海洋污染物对菲律宾蛤仔的免疫毒性

环境污染能够影响养殖贝类的免疫能力,是导致贝类大规模死亡的重要原因之一.探讨了大连周边4个海区污染物对采集的菲律宾蛤仔(Ruditapes philippinarum)免疫毒性影响.结果发现:污染物浓度和种类对蛤仔的免疫和生理指标具有重要影响,在重金属和石油污染物浓度较低的皮口海区,血细胞总数、亮氨酸氨基肽酶活性和血淋巴溶菌酶活性均显著高于其它3个海区(P＜0.05),而蛤仔的脂质氧化水平则较低;在重金属和石油污染物浓度较高的黑石礁海区,蛤仔血淋巴谷胱甘肽含量显著高于其它3个海区(P＜0.05);在重金属浓度较高的庄河海区,蛤仔表现出较高的超氧化物歧化酶活性(P＜0.05).     

Perkinsosis in the Manila clam Ruditapes philippinarum affects responses to the harmful-alga, Prorocentrum minimum

The dinoflagellate Prorocentrum minimum is increasingly recognized as a harmful algal bloom (HAB) species that affects filter-feeding shellfish. An experiment was done to investigate possible interactions between parasitic diseases and exposure to P. minimum in Manila clams, Ruditapes philippinarum. Manila clams, with variable levels of infection with Perkinsus olseni, were exposed for three or six days to the benign phytoplankton species Chaetoceros neogracile or a mixed diet of C. neogracile and P. minimum. After three or six days of exposure, clams were assessed individually for condition index, parasite status, and plasma and hemocyte parameters (morphological and functional) using flow-cytometry. Histological evaluation was also performed on individual clams to assess prevalence and intensity of parasitic infection, as well as other pathological conditions.Prorocentrum minimum caused several changes in Manila clams, especially after six days of exposure, such as decreased hemocyte phagocytosis and size and clam condition index. Pathological conditions observed in Manila clams exposed to P. minimum were hemocyte infiltration in the intestine and gonad follicles, myopathy, and necrosis of the intestine epithelial cells. The parasite P. olseni alone had no significant effect on Manila clams, nor did it modulate the hemocyte variables in clams exposed to P. minimum; however, the parasite did affect the pathological status of Manila clams exposed to the P. minimum culture, by causing atrophy and degeneration of residual ova in the gonadal follicles and hyaline degeneration of the muscle fibers, indicating synergistic effects of both stressors on the host over a short period of time. Additionally, an in vitro experiment also demonstrated detrimental effects of P. minimum and exudates upon P. olseni cells, thus suggesting HAB antagonistic suppression of transmission and proliferation of the parasite in the natural environment over a longer period of time. The results of this experiment demonstrate the complexity of interactions between host, parasite, and HAB.     

Molecular and histological identification of Marteilioides infection in Suminoe Oyster Crassostrea ariakensis, Manila Clam Ruditapes philippinarum and Pacific Oyster Crassostrea gigas on the south coast of Korea

The oyster ovarian parasite Marteilioides chungmuensis has been reported from Korea and Japan, damaging the oyster industries. Recently, Marteilioides-like organisms have been identified in other commercially important marine bivalves. In this study, we surveyed Marteilioides infection in the Manila clam Ruditapes philippinarum, Suminoe oyster Crassostrea ariakensis, and Pacific oyster Crassostrea gigas, using histology and Marteilioides-specific small subunit (SSU) rDNA PCR. The SSU rDNA sequence of M. chungmuensis (1716 bp) isolated from C. gigas in Tongyoung bay was 99.9% similar to that of M. chungmuensis reported in Japan. Inclusions of multi-nucleated bodies in the oocytes, typical of Marteilioides infection, were identified for the first time in Suminoe oysters. The SSU rDNA sequence of a Marteilioides-like organism isolated from Suminoe oysters was 99.9% similar to that of M. chungmuensis. Marteilioides sp. was also observed from 7 Manila clams of 1840 individuals examined, and the DNA sequences of which were 98.2% similar to the known sequence of M. chungmuensis. Unlike Marteilioides infection of Pacific oysters, no remarkable pathological symptoms, such as large multiple lumps on the mantle, were observed in infected Suminoe oysters or Manila clams. Distribution of the infected Manila clams, Suminoe oysters and Pacific oysters was limited to small bays on the south coast, suggesting that the southern coast is the enzootic area of Marteilioides infection.     

Experimental evaluation of the pathogenicity of Perkinsusolseni in juvenile Manila clams Ruditapes philippinarum

We evaluated the pathogenicity of Perkinsus olseni towards the Manila clam, Ruditapes philippinarum, by an experimental challenge. For production of prezoosporangia of P. olseni, we injected uninfected Manila clams with cells of a pure strain of P. olseni and reared them for 7 d. Prezoosporangia were isolated from the soft tissue of the injected clams after culturing in Ray’s fluid thioglycollate medium. Hatchery-reared, uninfected juvenile clams (3-10 mm shell length) were challenged by immersion in one of two concentrations of a prezoosporangial suspension of P. olseni for 6 d. The challenged clams had significantly higher mortality at both the concentrations than the unchallenged clams. The mortality due to infection dose-dependently began approximately 4 weeks and 7 weeks after challenge in the higher and lower concentrations, respectively. This is the first experimental evidence that P. olseni causes direct mortality in Manila clams. The lethal level of infection was estimated at approximately 10⁷ pathogen cells/g soft tissue weight.
