EST–SSR markers for asparagus genetic diversity evaluation and cultivar identification

Simple sequence repeat (SSR) markers generated from expressed sequence tag (EST) sequences represent useful tools for genotyping and their development is relatively easy because of the public availability of EST databases. We report design and application of EST–SSRs to assess the level of genetic diversity among thirty-five asparagus cultivars and to fingerprint DePaoli, a new variety released by University of California, Riverside. DNA was isolated from bulks of pooled cladophylls coming from five plants of each variety to reduce the number of DNA extractions and PCR reactions. Allele frequencies were estimated from the intensity of the bands in two bulks and two individual plant samples for each variety. Although asparagus varieties derive from a limited germplasm pool, eight EST–SSR loci differentiated all of the analyzed cultivars. Moreover, UPGMA (unweighted pair group method with arithmetic mean) and neighbor-joining trees, as well as principal components analysis separated the cultivars into clusters corresponding to the geographical areas where they originated.     

Long-term effects of asparagus virus 2 infection on growth and productivity in asparagus

An asparagus field trial was established with clonal plants to determine the long-term effects of asparagus virus 2 (AV2) infection on spear production. Yield data, analysed by ANOVA, showed that AV2 infection caused significant (P < 0.05) decreases in spear yield which became more pronounced as the trial progressed. Mean marketable spear yields were reduced by 14%, 28%, 20%, 48% and 57% and reject spear yields were increased by 93%, 105%, 207%, 352% and 167%, during harvest years 1–5 respectively. Marketable spear yields from AV2–free plants increased annually to yr 5, but for AV2–infected plants, yields increased to yr 3 and decreased annually thereafter. Spears from AV2–infected plants were thinner than those from AV2–free plants, resulting in more reject thin spears by 109%, 88%, 220%, 499% and 216% during harvest yr 1–5, respectively. Further, data collected in yr 4 and 5 showed that AV2 infection had caused a 31 % reduction in mean spear diameter and reductions of 27% and 22% respectively, in diameter and height of fern stalks. Clearly, plants with smaller fern stalks were less able to accumulate carbohydrate reserves and therefore produced fewer, smaller spears and fern stalks the following spring. This may result in annual cycles of diminishing productivity in which the size and number of spears and fern stalks decrease with each successive year. The type and timespan of symptoms caused by AV2 infection in this trial are similar to those reported for asparagus decline syndrome and therefore it is likely that AV2 infection is a factor contributing to asparagus decline.     

开发SSR引物方法之研究动态

SSR标记是一种基于DNA长度多态性的分子标记技术,是进行群体遗传结构分析、构建遗传连锁图谱非常有效的工具。由于SSR标记是特异引物标记,必须在知道某个物种DNA序列的前提下,才能设计引物进行PCR扩增,故而存在一个引物开发的问题。从SSR标记的发展历程来看,开发SSR引物的方法有经典的构建与筛选基因组文库的方法、微卫星富集法、省略筛库法和数据库搜索法等四种。本文综述了这四种方法的操作流程及其在实际应用中的优缺点,并对近年来SSR引物在相近的物种间转移使用的情况作了介绍. Abstract: SSRs is one of molecular markers technology based on DNA length polymorphism and an efficient tool for population genetic studies and primary genetic linkage maps construction. Because of a special primer marker, It’s necessary to know a species DNA sequence in order to design primers for PCR testing. That is to say, there is a problem of SSR primer development. For the progress of SSR marker technology, the methods of developing SSR primer could be divided into four kinds: traditional constructing and screening genome library procedure, the SSR richment procedure, avoiding screening genome library procedure and database search procedure. This paper reviewed these four methods’operation processes and their advantages and disadvantages. In addition, transferability of SSR primers in closely related species were introduced in recent years.     

Electroporation modulates the embryogénie responses of asparagus (asparagus officinalis l.) microspores

Summary Microspores of three genotypes ofAsparagus officinalis L. were mechanically isolated without affecting their viability and were submitted to electric fields in order to modulate their competence for embryogenesis. When a constant pulse length and various field strengths (250, 500, 750, 1000, 1500, and 2000 V/cm) were tested, the viability of electro-treated microspores decreased as the field strength increased, for all genotypes. Conversely, the embryogenie competence was genotype dependent and was enhanced by low voltages for two clones when microspores were cultured in the presence of auxin. When the effect of pulse duration was studied, despite a strong genotype effect on responses, a short pulse coupled with a low voltage appeared to improve the competence for proembryo formation compared with nonelectroporated microspores, while longer pulses significantly improved microspore division.     

Analysis of genetic relationship on Amygdalus mira (koehne) Ricker with other peach species using simple sequence repeat (SSR)

Amygdalus mira (Koehne) Ricker is native to China and has many good economical traits. However, its genetic diversity information has not been extensively studied. In this study, to assess the genetic diversity and relationships of A. mira and other peach species (nineteen accessions from Zhengzhou, Henan Province and seven accessions from Harbin) we used simple sequence repeat (SSR) markers. Here, 10 SSR primers were used, and 100% of the SSR primers were polymorphic, with an average of 5.5 alleles per primer pairs, suggesting that these primers were informative for this study. Additionally, polymorphism information content (PIC) value ranged from 0.82 to 0.96 with an average of 0.91. All the accessions were clustered into two groups (cluster 1 and cluster 2) based on SSR data. Principal coordinate analysis recovered similar results that all accessions were divided into two major clusters. The genetic variations within and among populations were 63.9% and 36.1%, respectively. In conclusion, A. mira maintains high genetic variation levels. This research will be potentially useful to aid breeding and enhance the economic and ornamental value of this wild peach.     

The effect of asparagus virus infection on asparagus tissue culture

The impact of asparagus virus I (AV-I), a potyvirus, and asparagus virus II (AV-II), an ilarvirus, on micropropagation of field-grown asparagus was studied. Apical shoot tips excised from singly or doubly-infected plants were slow to develop roots and had a 15 to 75% reduction in survival in culture, respectively, compared to those excised from virus-free plants. The four virus infection groups were ranked: virus-free >AV-II>AV-I>AV-I & II for capacity of explants to both root and survivein vitro. Micropropagated plants infected with AV-II exhibited slight reductions in fresh and dry weights, with greater reductions associated with infection with AV-I and double infection, compared to the virus-free controls. Eighty-one virus-infected apical shoot tips yielded 7 (8.6%) virus-free clones, as determined by rub inoculation on indicator plants.     

Physiological changes in asparagus spear tips after harvest

To extend our understanding of the physiology of asparagus after harvest, changes in respiration rate, protein and amino acid complement, and ultrastructure of tip sections (0–30 mm) of asparagus spears ( Asparagus officinalis L. cv. Limbras 10) were investigated. Spears had been stored for up to 4 days in the dark at 20°C. Respiration rate (carbon dioxide efflux) declined rapidly after harvest before stabilizing at 12 h at ca 50% of the rate at harvest. Protein, amino acid, and ammonium content of tip sections of 180 mm spears (intact tip sections) during storage, and comparable sections; excised from spears at harvest and subsequently stored (excised tip sections), were compared. Total protein content of intact and excised tip sections increased ca 10% 6–12 h after harvest, and then declined to ca 85% of harvest levels at 48 h. Gel electrophoresis in the presence of sodium dodecyl sulphate revealed the net loss of specific proteins at 48 h. Free amino acid content of excised tip sections declined to ca 75% of harvest levels 12 h after harvest, and then increased to 150% of harvest levels by 48 h. Glutamine levels declined rapidly after harvest, and asparagine content increased ca 200% at 24 h. Similar trends in free amino acid content were found in sections of intact tips. Ammonia (ammonium ions) accumulated to ca 0.3% dry weight at 48 h in both intact and excised tip sections. Ultrastructural studies revealed that tonoplast breakdown commenced 48–96 h after harvest. Results are discussed in relation to the sequence of physiological events following harvest and the timing of mechanisms responsible for their initiation.     

芦笋在PEG模拟干旱条件下的生理生化变化

用聚乙二醇(PEG-6000)胁迫处理芦笋幼苗,检测了幼苗的渗透调解物质含量、生物膜透性、抗氧化特性等指标。结果表明:脯氨酸、可溶性糖含量随着处理时间的延长显著增加,且以20%的PEG浓度处理增加最明显;SOD、POD、CAT活性在PEG处理后明显增强;相对电导率随着处理浓度的增大和时间的延长而增大;MDA含量随着处理时间的延长明显增加,且以10%和20%浓度处理增加显著。由此表明,芦笋在干旱胁迫下通过增加渗透调解物质含量,降低水势来提高其抗旱能力;通过增强抗氧化酶活性,提高抗氧化能力,来减轻干旱胁迫伤害。
