Microsatellites and microsynteny in the chloroplast genomes of Oryza and eight other Gramineae species 总被引:9,自引:0,他引:9
T. Ishii S. R. McCouch 《TAG. Theoretical and applied genetics. Theoretische und angewandte Genetik》2000,100(8):1257-1266
Primer pairs flanking ten chloroplast microsatellite loci, originally identified in Oryza
sativa cv Nipponbare, were evaluated for amplification and allelic diversity using a panel of 13 diverse cultivars of rice (O. sativa), 19 accessions of wild rice (three O. officinalis, five O. latifolia, five O.
minuta, four O. australiensis, one O. brachyantha and one O. ridleyi) and eight other Gramineae species (maize, teosinte, wheat, oat, barley, pearl millet, sorghum and sugarcane). Amplified
products were obtained for all samples at nine out of ten loci. Among the rice cultivars, the number of alleles per locus
ranged from one to four, with monomorphic patterns observed at five loci. The average polymorphism information content (PIC)
value at the other five (polymorphic) loci was 0.54 among the 13 cultivars. When wild rice and the other Gramineae species
were compared based on the proportion of shared alleles, their phylogenetic relationships were in agreement with previous
studies using different types of markers; however, the magnitude of the differences based on chloroplast microsatellites underestimated
the genetic distance separating these divergent species and genera. A sequence-based comparison of homologous regions of the
rice and maize chloroplast genomes revealed that, while a high level of microsynteny is evident, the occurrence of actively
evolving microsatellite motifs in specific regions of the rice chloroplast genome appears to be mainly a species or genome-specific
phenomenon. Thus the chloroplast primer pairs used in this study bracketed mutationally active microsatellite motifs in rice
but degenerate, interrupted motifs or highly conserved, mutationally inert motifs in distantly related genera.

Conformational transitions of poly d(A-T) · poly d (A-T) have been studied by fiber X-ray diffraction and measurement of fiber dimensions. Results obtained for the D-A-B and D-B transitions are presented and analyzed. For all these form transitions, cooperativity effects are observed for the variation of the rise per nucleotide versus the relative humidity. Detailed information about hydration of the polynucleotide during form transitions and the numbers of water molecules per nucleotide necessary to stabilize the different helical conformations are presented.

Polymorphic simple sequence repeat markers in chloroplast genomes of Solanaceous plants 总被引:13,自引:0,他引:13
G. J. Bryan J. McNicoll G. Ramsay R. C. Meyer W. S. De Jong 《TAG. Theoretical and applied genetics. Theoretische und angewandte Genetik》1999,99(5):859-867
PCR-based markers were developed from mononucleotide simple-sequence repeats in the chloroplast genome of Nicotiana tabacum and applied to the analysis of genetic diversity. These markers were found to detect high levels of polymorphism at three
taxonomic levels in Solanaceous plants. Of 36 chloroplast loci examined, 26 show some degree of polymorphism among potato
accessions. Among a set of 30 tetraploid potato cultivars it is apparent that a single chloroplast haplotype is prevalent,
presumably a result of the widespread use as a female parent of the imported US cultivar Rough Purple Chili in the latter
half of the 19th century. Nonetheless, there is considerable chloroplast diversity in the cultivated potato, and it is clear
that a large proportion of this variability has arisen through the use of wild or primitive cultivated species of potato in
introgression programmes. This variability should be used in future breeding programmes. An examination of single accessions
from 24 potato species, as well as representatives from tobacco and other members of the Solanaceae, reveals high levels of
inter-specific chloroplast DNA variation. These data, and the ease of use and potential for multiplexing of these markers,
suggest that cpSSRs will be of great utility in population genetics, germplasm management, evolutionary and phylogenetic studies
as well as in, the analysis of material from introgression and somatic-fusion experiments. Interestingly, the polymorphism
arising from one of the more-polymorphic chloroplast loci examined, does not originate solely from the SSR, and is due to
variation in the copy number of two tandemly arrayed sequence elements.

The frequency and distribution of microsatellites were analyzed in the 19 mitogenomes of phytopathogenic fungi covering five
phyla. Our analysis revealed that in all the mitogenomes studied, the frequency and relative abundance varied, and it was neither
influenced by genome size nor by GC content. SSRs were found to be differential distributed in genic and intergenic regions. An
average of 5.14 (23.6%) SSRs were present in genic sequences and 21.7 (76.4%) SSRs were located in the intergenic sequences.
Relative abundance of SSRs in mitogenomes was the highest in Aspergillus tubigensis, whereas, it was the least in Phaeosphaeria
nodurum, the average being 0.45. Trinucleotide repeats were the most abundant motifs in the genic and intergenic regions of the
mitogenomes of the phytopathogenic fungi. Among the genes, cox1 harbors the maximum SSRs, whereas cox3 and nad 7 contain the
least. Based on the presence of SSRs in a particular gene, genetic relationships among individual organisms were also established. 相似文献

N6-methyladenine (N6-mA,m6dA,or 6mA),a prevalent DNA modification in prokaryotes,has recently been identified in higher eukaryotes,including mammals.Although 6mA has been well-studied in prokaryotes,the function and regulatory mechanism of 6mA in eukary-otes are still poorly understood.Recent studies indicate that 6mA can serve as an epigenetic mark and play critical roles in various biological processes,from transposable-element suppression to environmental stress response.Here,we review the significant advances in methodology for 6mA detection and major progress in understanding the regulation and function of this non-canonical DNA methylation in eukaryotes,predominantly mammals. 相似文献

Summary The effect of Aclacinomycin B (ACM-B), an anthracycline antitumor antibiotic, on the DNA-dependent RNA synthesis using single- and double-stranded DNAs of known base content and sequence is studied. The data show that ACM-B effectively inhibits the double-stranded DNA-directed RNA synthesis with a preference of poly[d(A-T)] > poly[d(G-C)] > poly[d(I-C)]. In contrast, it has no inhibitory effect on the template function of single-stranded DNA (e.g. poly dA, poly dT, and poly dC). These results suggest that the mechanism of ACM-13 inhibition, like other anthracycline antibiotics, is by intercalation. In addition to the base specificity, there are also dramatic differences in inhibition depending on the base sequence in the DNA template. Thus, ACM-13 preferentially inhibits the alternating double-stranded copolymers over the double-stranded homopolymers; e.g. poly [d(A-T)] is inhibited to a greater extent than poly dA · poly dT and poly [d(G-C)] is inhibited more than poly dG · poly dC. Since the inhibition by ACM-13 can be totally abolished when assayed in excess amount of DNA, this result suggests that ACM-B inhibition of RNA synthesis is solely on the DNA template (which is in support of the intercalation model), and has ruled out the possibility that ACM-B may also exert an inhibitory effect on the activity of RNA polymerase per se. 相似文献

Although universal or consensus chloroplast primers are available, they are limited by their number and genomic distribution. Therefore, a set of consensus chloroplast primer pairs for simple sequence repeats (ccSSRs) analysis was constructed from tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum L.) chloroplast sequences. These were then tested for their general utility in the genetic analysis of a diverse array of plant taxa. In order to increase the number of ccSSRs beyond that previously reported, the target sequences for SSR motifs was set at A or T (n 7) mononucleotide repeats. Each SSR sequence motif, along with ±200-bp flanking sequences from the first of each mononucleotide base repeat, was screened for homologies with chloroplast DNA sequences of other plant species in GenBank databases using BLAST search procedures. Twenty three putative marker loci that possessed conserved flanking sequence spans were selected for consensus primer pair construction using commercially available computer algorithms. All primer pairs produced amplicons after PCR employing genomic DNA from members of the Cucurbitaceae (six species) and Solanaceae (four species). Sixteen, 22 and 19 of the initial 23 primer pairs were successively amplified by PCR using template DNA from species of the Apiaceae (two species), Brassicaceae (one species) and Fabaceae (two species), respectively. Twenty of 23 primer pairs were also functional in three monocot species of the Liliaceae [onion (Allium cepa L.) and garlic (Allium sativum L.)], and the Poaceae [oat (Avena sativa L.)]. Sequence analysis of selected ccSSR fragments suggests that ccSSR length and sequence variation could be useful as a tool for investigating the genetic relationships within a genus or closely related taxa (i.e., tribal level). In order to provide for a marker system having significant coverage of the cucumber chloroplast genome, ccSSR primers were strategically "recombined" and named recombined consensus chloroplast primers (RCCP) for PCR analysis. Successful amplification after extended-length PCR of 16 RCCP primer pairs from cucumber (Cucumis sativus L.) DNA suggested that the amplicons detected are representative of the cucumber chloroplast genome. These RCCP pairs, therefore, could be useful as an initial molecular tool for investigation of traits related to a chloroplast gene(s) in cucumber, and other closely related species.Communicated by C.

There are general features of chromosome dynamics, such as homologue recognition in early meiosis, which are expected to involve related sequence motifs in non-coding DNA, with a similar distribution in different species. A search for such motifs is presented here. It has been carried out with the CONREPP programme. It has been found that short alternating AT sequences (10-20 bases) have a similar distribution in most eukaryotic organisms, with some exceptions related to unique meiotic features. All other microsatellite and repeat sequences vary significantly in different organisms. It is concluded that the unique structural features and uniform distribution of alternating AT sequences indicate that they may facilitate homologous chromosome pairing in the early preleptotene stage of meiosis. They may also play a role in the compaction of DNA in mitotic chromosomes. 相似文献

Transferable EST-SSR markers for the study of polymorphism and genetic diversity in bread wheat 总被引:22,自引:0,他引:22
Gupta PK Rustgi S Sharma S Singh R Kumar N Balyan HS 《Molecular genetics and genomics : MGG》2003,270(4):315-323
Nearly 900 SSRs (simple sequence repeats) were identified among 15,000 ESTs (expressed sequence tags) belonging to bread wheat ( Triticum aestivum L.). The SSRs were defined by their minimum length, which ranged from 14 to 21 bp. The maximum length ranged from 24 to 87 bp depending upon the length of the repeat unit itself (1–7 bp). The average density of SSRs was one SSR per 9.2 kb of EST sequence screened. The trinucleotide repeats were the most abundant SSRs detected. As a representative sample, 78 primer pairs were designed, which were also used to screen the dbEST entries for Hordeum vulgare and Triticum tauschii (donor of the D-genome of cultivated wheat) using a cut-off E (expectation) value of 0.01. On the basis of in silico analysis, up to 55.12% of the primer pairs exhibited transferability from Triticum to Hordeum, indicating that the sequences flanking the SSRs are not only conserved within a single genus but also between related genera in Poaceae. Primer pairs for the 78 SSRs were synthesized and used successfully for the study of (1) their transferability to 18 related wild species and five cereal species (barley, oat, rye, rice and maize); and (2) polymorphism between the parents of four mapping populations available with us. A subset of 20 EST-SSR primers was also used to assess genetic diversity in a collection of 52 elite exotic wheat genotypes. This was done with a view to compare their utility relative to other molecular markers (gSSRs, AFLPs, and SAMPL) previously used by us for the same purpose with the same set of 52 bread wheat genotypes. Although only a low level of polymorphism was detected, relative to that observed with genomic SSRs, the study suggested that EST-SSRs can be successfully used for a variety of purposes, and may actually prove superior to SSR markers extracted from genomic libraries for diversity estimation and transferability.Communicated by R.

Hickory (Carya cathayensis Sarg.), an important nut-producing species in Southeastern China, has high economic value, but so far there has been no cultivar bred under species although it is mostly propagated by seeding and some elite individuals have been found. It has been found recently that this species has a certain rate of apomixis and poor knowledge of its genetic background has influenced development of a feasible breeding strategy. Here in this paper we first release SSR (Simple sequence repeat) markers developed in this species and their transferability to other three species of the same genus, Carya. A total of 311 pairs of SSR primers in hickory were developed based on sequenced cDNAs of a fruit development-associated cDNA library and RNA-seq data of developing female floral buds and could be used to distinguish hickory, C. hunanensis Cheng et R. H. Chang ex R. H. Chang et Lu, C. illinoensis K. Koch (pecan) and C. dabieshanensis M. C. Liu et Z. J. Li, but they were monomorphic in both hickory and C. hunanensis although multi-alleles have been identified in all the four species. There is a transferability rate of 63.02% observed between hickory and pecan and the markers can be applied to study genetic diversity of accessions in pecan. When used in C. dabieshanensis, it was revealed that C. dabieshanensis had the number of alleles per locus ranging from 2 to 4, observed heterozygosity from 0 to 0.6667 and expected heterozygosity from 0.333 to 0.8667, respectively, which supports the existence of C. dabieshanensis as a separate species different from hickory and indicates that there is potential for selection and breeding in this species. 相似文献

The coleoptile of rice (Oryza sativa L. cv. Nippon-bare) emerges from an imbibed seed on day 2 after sowing. Then, it matures and senesces rapidly. For analysis
of the senescence pattern within individual coleoptiles, we monitored the distribution of chlorophyll (Chl) in entire coleoptiles
and in cross-sections of coleoptiles by recording the autofluorescence of Chl. Degradation of Chl was apparent at the tip
of the margins of opened-out coleoptiles on day 4, when the overall levels of soluble protein and Chl per coleoptile had reached
maximum values. Then, senescence proceeded from the tip to the base and from the inner mesophyll cells towards the outer epidermis,
excluding tissues along vascular bundles. Further analysis of cellular senescence using samples embedded in Technovit 7100
resin revealed that the senescence of each green mesophyll cell followed an identical program, which consisted of the following
steps: (i) degradation of chloroplast DNA; (ii) condensation of the nucleus, decrease in the size of chloroplasts, degradation
of ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate carboxylase/oxygenase and chloroplast inner membranes; (iii) disorganization of the nucleus;
(iv) complete loss of cellular components, distortion of the cell wall. Although the timing of each step and the rate at which
each step was completed differed among cells of different locations within the coleoptile, this sequence was observed in all
mesophyll cells in the coleoptile.

It has been hypothesized that populations at the margins of the distributional range of a species show reduced genetic diversity and increased inter-population differentiation compared to central populations. Here, we test this hypothesis by examining the structure of genetic diversity in marginal populations of black poplar, Populus nigra L. (Salicaceae). This species occurs mainly in Europe but its range extends to central Asia. We collected 117 individuals from 10 populations at the edge of the distributional range of the species in central Asia to examine the structure of genetic diversity based on genetic polymorphisms at 20 microsatellite markers. As expected, the genetic diversity within these marginal populations is relatively low, with an average observed heterozygosity Ho of 0.337 and an average expected heterozygosity He of 0.466, compared to the genetic diversity of populations from central distributions. However, we recovered very low genetic differentiation between populations, with an average Fst of 0.0745, a value similar to those reported for central populations. AMOVA analyses confirmed this result, showing that only 9.2% of the total variation could be attributed to between-population variance (P < 0.001). Our findings do not fully support hypotheses about the structure of genetic diversity in marginal populations formed from observations on other species. We suggest that a high rate of outcrossing and possible postglacial colonization at the edge of the distributional range of this long-lived poplar may explain the observed structure of the genetic diversity. 相似文献

Genetic diversity of SSR markers in wild populations of Tapiscia sinensis,an endangered tree species
Tapiscia sinensis is a Tertiary relict and endangered tree species with unique scientific research value and great economic value. In this study, we assessed the genetic diversity of five wild T. sinensis populations from different geographical regions using 10 polymorphic simple sequence repeat (SSR) markers. Our results reveal that the natural populations of T. sinensis have rich genetic diversity (PPL = 100%, He = 0.6904, I = 1.4368), with Shannon's index indicating that the T. sinensis populations are at a relatively stable stage. Of the genetic relationships among populations, the distance between the Hunan Yanling (YL) and Guizhou Xifeng (XF) populations is the smallest (0.4829); the genetic distance between the Shaanxi Ningshan (NS) and the Guizhou Xifeng (XF) populations is the largest (0.9821). A Mantel test shows that there is no correlation among the populations between geographic distance and genetic distance. AMOVA suggest that 33.3% of the genetic variation arose among the populations, while 66.7% of the variation arose within them. The moderate gene flow among populations (Nm = 0.7274) is not sufficient to counteract genetic drift within the populations and result in significant differentiation (Fst = 0.2987). Our results will benefit the conservation and exploitation of T. sinensis and provide a theoretical basis for further study of the evolution and phylogeography of the species. 相似文献

Evaluation of allelic diversity at chloroplast microsatellite loci among common wheat and its ancestral species 总被引:14,自引:0,他引:14
T. Ishii N. Mori Y. Ogihara 《TAG. Theoretical and applied genetics. Theoretische und angewandte Genetik》2001,103(6-7):896-904
Twenty four chloroplast microsatellite loci having more than ten mononucleotide repeats were identified from the entire chloroplast
DNA sequence of common wheat, Triticum aestivum cv Chinese Spring. For each microsatellite, a pair of primers were designed to produce specific PCR products in the range
of 100– 200 bp. The allelic diversity at the microsatellite loci was evaluated using 43 accessions from 11 Triticum and Aegilops species involved in wheat polyploid evolution. Polymorphic banding patterns were obtained at 21 out of 24 chloroplast microsatellite
loci. The three monomorphic microsatellites were found to be located in coding regions. For the polymorphic microsatellites,
the number of alleles per microsatellite ranged from 2 to 7 with an average of 4.33, and the diversity values (H) ranged from
0.05 to 0.72 with an average of 0.47. Significant correlations (P<0.01) were observed between the number of repeats and the number of alleles, and between the number of repeats and diversity
value, respectively. The genetic diversity explained by chloroplast microsatellites and nuclear RFLP markers were compared
using 22 tetraploid accessions. Although the number of alleles for nuclear RFLP markers was found to be higher than that for
chloroplast microsatellites, similar diversity values were observed for both types of markers. Among common wheat and its
ancestral species, the percentages of common chloroplast microsatellite alleles were calculated to examine their phylogenetic
relationships. As a result, Timopheevi wheat species were clearly distinguished from other species, and Emmer and common wheat
species were divided into two main groups, each consisting of a series of wild and cultivated species from tetraploid to hexaploid.
This indicates that the two types of chloroplast genomes of common wheat might have independently originated from the corresponding
types of wild and cultivated Emmer wheat species.

Simultaneous identification and comparison of perfect and imperfect microsatellites within a genome is a valuable tool both to overcome the lack of a consensus definition of SSRs and to assess repeat history. Detailed analysis of the overall distribution of perfect and imperfect microsatellites in closely related bacterial taxa is expected to give new insight into the evolution of prokaryotic genomes. We have performed a genome-wide analysis of microsatellite distribution in four Escherichia coli and seven Chlamydial strains. Chlamydial strains generally have a higher density of SSRs and show greater intra-group differences of SSR distribution patterns than E. coli genomes. In most investigated genomes the distribution of the total lengths of matching perfect and imperfect trinucleotide repeats are highly similar, with the notable exception of C. muridarum. Closely related strains show more similar repeat distribution patterns than strains separated by a longer divergence time. The discrepancy between the preferred classes of perfect and imperfect repeats in C. muridarum implies accelerated evolution of SSRs in this particular strain. Our results suggest that microsatellites, although considerably less abundant than in eukaryotic genomes, may nevertheless play an important role in the evolution of prokaryotic genomes and several gene families. 相似文献

In a previous study we constructed a physical map of the chloroplast DNA (ctDNA) of garden asparagus (Asparagus officinalis L. cv ‘Mary Washington 500W’; Lee et al. 1996). In the present study we have constructed and compared HindIII and XhoI restriction maps of the ctDNAs of eight species of Asparagus: namely, A. officinalis, A. schoberioides, A. cochinchinensis, A. plumosus, A. falcatus, A. sprengeri, A. virgatus and A. asparagoides. The ctDNA of A. officinalis has 32 and 23 sites that are recognized by HindIII and XhoI, respectively. Taking the physical map of the ctDNA of A. officinalis as a standard, we found that the ctDNAs of A. falcatus, A. sprengeri, and A. asparagoides each had one additional HindIII site and lacked one XhoI site. We also detected two relatively large deletions of nucleotides in the ctDNA from A. cochinchinensis by sequencing analysis. Both of these deletions were located in a non-coding region between the ndhC and trnV genes and were 95 bp and 347 bp in length, respectively. The regions around the deletions exhibited strong homology, and
short direct-repeat sequences were detected at the borders of the deletions, an indication that these deletions were the result
of intramolecular recombination mediated by the direct repeats.

Development of a microsatellite framework map providing genome-wide coverage in rice (Oryza sativa L.) 总被引:49,自引:0,他引:49

Ninety-four newly developed microsatellite markers were integrated into existing RFLP framework maps of four rice populations,
including two doubled haploid, a recombinant inbred, and an interspecific backcross population. These simple sequence repeats
(SSR) were predominantly poly(GA) motifs, targetted because of their abundance in rice. They were isolated from a previously
described sheared library and a newly constructed enzyme-digested library. Differences in the average length of poly(GA) tracts
were observed for clones isolated from the two libraries. The length of GA motifs averaged 21 repeat units for clones isolated
from the Tsp-509-digested library, while motifs averaged 17 units for clones from the sheared library. There was no evidence of clustering
of microsatellite markers near centromeres or telomeres. Mapping of the 94 newly developed markers as well as of 27 previously
reported microsatellites provided genome-wide coverage of the 12 chromosomes, with an average distance of 1 SSLP (simple sequence
repeat polymorphism) per 16–20 cM.

The Poales (which include the grasses) and Asparagales [which include onion (Allium cepa L.) and other Allium species] are the two most economically important monocot orders. Enormous genomic resources have been developed for the grasses;
however, their applicability to other major monocot groups, such as the Asparagales, is unclear. Expressed sequence tags (ESTs)
from onion that showed significant similarities (80% similarity over at least 70% of the sequence) to single positions in
the rice genome were selected. One hundred new genetic markers developed from these ESTs were added to the intraspecific map
derived from the BYG15-23×AC43 segregating family, producing 14 linkage groups encompassing 1,907 cM at LOD 4. Onion linkage
groups were assigned to chromosomes using alien addition lines of Allium fistulosum L. carrying single onion chromosomes. Visual comparisons of genetic linkage in onion with physical linkage in rice revealed
scant colinearity; however, short regions of colinearity could be identified. Our results demonstrate that the grasses may
not be appropriate genomic models for other major monocot groups such as the Asparagales; this will make it necessary to develop
genomic resources for these important plants.

The dazzling array of basal branches in the mtDNA macrohaplogroup M from India as inferred from complete genomes 总被引:9,自引:1,他引:8

Many efforts based on complete mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) genomeshave been made to depict the global mtDNA landscape, but thephylogeny of Indian macrohaplogroup M has not yet been resolvedin detail. To fill this lacuna, we took the same strategy asin our recent analysis of Indian mtDNA macrohaplogroup N andselected 56 mtDNAs from over 1,200 samples across India forcomplete sequencing, with the intention to cover all Indianautochthonous M lineages. As a result, the phylogenetic statusof previously identified haplogroups based on control-regionand/or partial coding-region information, such as M2, M3, M4,M5, M6, M30, and M33, was solidified or redefined here. Moreover,seven novel basal M haplogroups (viz., M34M40) were identified,and yet another five singular branches of the M phylogeny werediscovered in the present study. The comparison of matrilinealcomponents among India, East Asia, Southeast Asia, and Oceaniaat the deepest level yielded a star-like and nonoverlappingpattern, reflecting a rapid mode of modern human dispersal alongthe Asian coast after the initial "out-of-Africa" event. 相似文献

The genus Asparagus consists of 100–300 species of both dioecious and hermaphrodite plants. Since there are diploid, tetraploid, and hexaploid plants in this genus, RFLP (restriction fragment length polymorphism) analysis of chloroplast DNA (ctDNA) is suitable for examining the phylogenetic relationships. We have constructed a physical map of the ctDNA of garden asparagus (A. officinalis L. cv Mary Washington 500 W) using five restriction endonucleases, namely, BamHI, PstI, SalI, HindIII, and XhoI. Asparagus ctDNA was digested with restriction enzymes and cloned into plasmid and phage vectors, and a clone bank was constructed that covered 70% of the genome. A physical map was constructed by Southern hybridization of total DNA from asparagus with homologous and heterologous probes. The asparagus ctDNA was about 155 kb long and it contained two inverted repeats (23kb each) separated by a large single-copy region (90kb) and a small single-copy region (19kb). Fifteen genes, encoding photosynthesis-related proteins, rDNAs, and tRNAs, were localized on the physical map of asparagus ctDNA. Comparing the length and the gene order of asparagus ctDNA with that of other plants, we found that asparagus ctDNA was similar to tobacco ctDNA but different from rice ctDNA. The restriction patterns of the ctDNAs from several varieties of A. officinalis and three species of Asparagus were analyzed. The restriction patterns of the varieties of A. officinalis were very similar, but polymorphisms were detected among the three species of Asparagus. 相似文献
