Genetic relationship of Porteresia coarctata Tateoka using molecular markers

ABSTRACT

Twenty-one species belonging to Oryza, including wild rices, were compared with a tetraploid (2n=48) halophytic wild rice relative, Porteresia coarctata Tateoka (=Oryza coarctata) for the genetic relatedness using AFLP and RAPD markers. Diploid and tetraploid groups were clearly separated except in the case of a few species where the clustering was unique and different. The molecular analysis has helped in positioning Porteresia in the vicinity of other wild rice species, and to better understand the pattern of species differentiation in Oryza. From our study, O. australiensis seems to be related to P. coarctata; thus, O. australiensis may be an effective “bridge” species in transferring genetic traits from P. coarctata to O. sativa. The usefulness of molecular marker systems for studying polymorphism and classification, and in clarifying genetic relationships between wild species has been confirmed.     

In Vitro Propagation of Salt-Tolerant Wild Rice Relative, Porteresia coarctata Tateoka

Micropropagation of Porteresia coarctata Tateoka, a wild relative of rice with useful genetic traits of salinity and submergence tolerance, was achieved through nodal segment culture. Woody Plant (WP) medium supplemented with benzyladenine (5.5 μm) and kinetin (2.3 μm) gave the greatest response to initiation and multiplication. The multiplication rate of 11 shoots/explant with an average shoot length of 3.5 cm was observed after 8 weeks of culture period. The rooting response was observed simultaneously in the multiplication media, but subsequent establishment was poor. When the in vitro raised shoots were transferred to optimal 1/2 WP and 1/2 MS media with 10.7 μmα-naphthaleneacetic acid, the rooting response was enhanced. Such rooted plants were hardened successfully under field conditions. Received March 8, 1998; accepted October 12, 1998     

Genetic Relatedness among Lansium domesticum Accessions Using RAPD Markers

Genetic relatedness among 85 Lansium domesticum Corr. accessionsfrom Peninsular Malaysia were investigated using random amplifiedpolymorphic DNA (RAPD) markers. Ten primers were used for amplificationand yielded a total of 113 bands, of which 107 were polymorphic.Homology tests showed that the RAPD bands used in the studysatisfy assumptions of homology and non-allelic behaviour. Adendrogram showing genetic similarities among accessions wasconstructed based on the 107 polymorphic bands using UPGMA clusteranalysis. Jaccard similarity coefficients ranged from 0.25 to1.00 among accessions indicating a diverse genepool in the speciesindicative of different species parentage. The dendrogram separatedthe 85 accessions into three main clusters, one comprising 56accessions which possess thin-skinned fruit (mostly Dokong andLangsat), while the second has 28 accessions (mostly Duku-langsat,Duku Terengganu and Duku Johor) with thick fruit skin and thethird comprising only one accession, namely Duku hutan. Thus,RAPD analysis was a useful tool for determining the geneticrelatedness among accessions and identifying different typesof L. domesticum.

利用RAPD标记分析大麦种质资源的遗传多样性

利用RAPD标记对19份西藏近缘野生大麦材料、33份我国不同省市的地方品种以及8份国外引进大麦品种共60份大麦种质资源的遗传多样性进行检测.结果表明材料间遗传差异明显.32个RAPD引物中,有25个引物(占78.13%)可扩增出清晰且具多态性的条带,另外7个引物能扩增出1～3条清晰但无多态性的条带.每个引物可扩增出1～8条多态性带,平均为3.72条.32个引物共产生119条DNA片段,其中87条具有多态性,多态性比率(PPB)为73.11%,平均多态信息量(PIC)为0.434;每个位点平均有效等位基因数(Ne)为2.304;材料间遗传相似系数GS变化范围为0.757～0.981,平均值为0.871.19份来源于西藏的近缘野生大麦材料间GS值变幅为0.818～0.969,平均为0.892;33份我国栽培大麦地方品种间的GS值变化范围为0.783～0.981,平均为0.879;8份分别来自8个国家的栽培大麦品种间的GS值变幅为0.820～0.956,平均为0.882.根据RAPD标记分析的结果,对60份大麦种质资源进行聚类分析,在平均GS值0.871水平上60份大麦材料可聚为5类,聚类结果能在一定程度上反应材料的地理分布关系,但某些相同地理来源的材料也较分散地分布在整个聚类树中.本研究从分子水平上进一步证明了我国栽培大麦丰富的遗传多样性,是世界栽培大麦的遗传多样性中心之一.     

Genetic Diversity Analysis of Starchy Curcuma Species Using RAPD Markers

The genetic variability in starchy Curcuma species was assessed using Random Amplified Polymorphic DNA (RAPD) technique. The RAPD pattern generated by 20 primers revealed a high degree of polymorphism. A total of 274 bands were generated of which 264 were polymorphic. All the species were separated into 3 clusters using UPGMA. C. aromatica, C. leucorrhiza, and C. brog formed a cluster within which C. longa and C. zedoaria formed a subgroup. C. harita was genetically distinct from all the other Curcuma species. Since it is difficult to distinguish different species by leaf morphology, the RAPD pattern has high utility in identification of starchy Curcuma species.

利用RAPD与ISSR分子标记技术对40份不同地方果蔗种质的遗传多样性进行分析。从供试材料中筛选到具有多态性的RAPD引物23条,ISSR引物28条。23条RAPD引物共扩增出250条带,多态性条带比率为70%,相似系数变化范围在0.68-1.00之间;28条ISSR引物共扩增出301条带,多态性条带比率为77.1%,相似系数变化范围在0.66-1.00之间。根据两种标记的结果,用UPGMA法对40份果蔗种质材料进行聚类分析,结果表明,RAPD和ISSR均将40份果蔗种质分为4类:第Ⅰ类为32份地方果蔗品种,包括福建、江西、浙江、广西、云南等地的品种;第Ⅱ类为外引黑皮果蔗Badila和丰城紫皮果蔗;第Ⅲ类为杂交种白鳝、歪干担、肚度、温岭果蔗以及人工杂交选育的果蔗品种474;第Ⅳ类只有广东的黄皮果蔗。这两种标记的聚类结果相关分析表明,它们存在呈极显著相关(r=0.9746)。但ISSR标记比RAPD标记可检测到更大的遗传变异。     

Miscanthus: Genetic Diversity and Genotype Identification Using ISSR and RAPD Markers

Due to the limited number of molecular studies focused on European gene pool investigation, it is necessary to perform plant material recognition. Eighteen accessions of three Miscanthus species, namely, M. × giganteus, M. sinensis, M. sacchariflorus were evaluated with the use of molecular marker systems such as: inter simple sequence repeats (ISSRs), random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD), and by estimation of ploidy level based on flow cytometry. As a result, only one ISSR primer (ISSR1) and three RAPD primers (RAPD1, RAPD2, RAPD4) were required to identify all genotypes. Moreover, the use of the above mentioned molecular markers enable the proper species recognition of the interspecific hybrid M. × giganteus “Floridulus,” which has been previously mislabeled as M. floridulus. The highest genetic similarity coefficient (0.94) was observed between M. × giganteus clones, which indicates that the genetic diversity within this species was very low. Whereas M. sinensis genotypes represented a relatively wide diversity with similarity coefficient of 0.58. Cluster analysis using UPGMA grouped the 18 accessions in three clusters according to species affiliation including relabeled M. × giganteus “Floridulus,” which proved to be closely related to M.  × giganteus. Similar groupings were evident in the PCoA analysis.     

Genetic Diversity of Twelve Switchgrass Populations Using Molecular and Morphological Markers

Switchgrass (Panicum virgatum L.) is a warm season, C₄ perennial grass native to most of North America with numerous applications, including use as a bioenergy feedstock species. To date, no studies on genetic diversity in switchgrass have been conducted that use both molecular and morphological markers. The objectives of this study were to assess genetic diversity and determine differences among and between 12 switchgrass populations grown in New Jersey by examining both morphological and molecular characteristics, and to determine whether morphological, molecular, and/or combined data sets can detect ecotype and/or geographical differences at the population level. Twelve plants from each population were characterized with 16 switchgrass expressed sequence tag-simple sequence repeat markers (EST-SSRs) and seven morphological characters. Data was analyzed using GenAlEx and Unweighted Pair-Group Method of Averages (UPGMA) cluster analysis. Most (64%) of the molecular variation in switchgrass populations exists among individuals within populations, with lesser amounts between populations (36%). Upland and lowland populations were distinguished in all three data sets. Some eastern US and midwestern US populations were distinct in all three data sets. Similarities were observed between all three data sets indicating molecular markers may be useful for identifying morphological differences or other adaptive traits. The combined data set was the most useful in differentiating populations based on geography and found separation between midwestern and eastern upland populations. The results indicate that the combination of morphological and molecular markers may be useful in future applications such as genetic diversity studies, plant variety protection, cultivar identification, and/or identifying geographic origin.

Genetic Diversity Analysis of Nelumbo Accessions Based on EST SSR Markers

EST-SSR markers were applied to estimate the genetic diversity for 30 accessions of Nelumbo nucifera, 6 accessions of Nelumbo lutea and 14 hybrids between these two species. The 52 of 123 EST SSR markers (423%) were screened and then applied to amplify the 50 Nelumbo accessions. A total of 177 alleles were identified, and the number of alleles per locus and Polymorphic Information Content (PIC) value varied from 2 to 8 with an average of 34 alleles and from 063 (NNFB 1059) to 091 (NNFB 750) with an average value of 079, respectively. Jaccard similarity coefficients of the amplification results were analyzed by NTSYS pc2.11 software and the genetic similarity coefficient was from 024 to 086. The clustering dendrogram constructed by UPGMA method indicated that 50 accessions of Nelumbo could be divided into four major groups at the similarity coefficient of 037. Group I and group II included Nnucifera; group III included the majority of Asian American lotus hybrids; and group IV included Nlutea. In addition, the Asian American hybrids were closer to Nnucifera based on genetic relationship, which is consistent with the traditional classification result and the previous reports.
