 The 5.8 S subunit and flanking internal transcribed spacer (ITS) regions in nuclear ribosomal DNA (rDNA) from spores of Glomus mosseae FL156 and UK118 were amplified by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) using ITS1 and ITS4 as primers. The amplification product from template DNA of UK118 was cloned and sequenced (569 bp); the amplified DNA from FL156 was sequenced directly (582 bp). There was a 95% sequence similarity between DNAs amplified from the two isolates; in contrast, major dissimilarities with partial sequences of seven other glomalean taxa were observed. Four oligonucleotide sequences unique to Glomus mosseae were identified as potential primers. Their specificity to Glomus mosseae was assessed by PCR amplification of genomic DNA from spores from 36 glomalean fungi: 13 isolates of Glomus mosseae, two Glomus monosporum, 10 other Glomus isolates, and 11 other glomalean taxa from each of four other genera. The Glomus mosseae isolates were from a broad range of temperate zone agricultural soils. Oligonucleotide pair GMOS1 : GMOS2 primed specific amplification of an oligonucleotide sequence (approximately 400 bp) present in all Glomus mosseae isolates and two isolates of the closely related Glomus monosporum. This primer pair did not prime PCR when the template consisted of DNA from any of the other glomalean fungi or any of the nonmycorrhizal controls. In addition, a 24-mer oligonucleotide, designated GMOS5, hybridized with Glomus mosseae and Glomus monosporum DNA amplified by PCR using primer pairs ITS1 : ITS4 and GMOS1 : GMOS2. Colony-blot assays showed that GMOS5 hybridized to 100% and 97% of E. coli pUC19 clones of amplification products from Glomus mosseae FL156 and UK118 DNA templates, respectively, indicating that nearly all clones contained an homologous sequence. GMOS5 was used successfully to detect specifically Glomus mosseae in DNA extracted from colonized sudan grass (Sorghum sudanense L.) roots and amplified by PCR using the primer pair GMOS1 : GMOS2. The results confirm several previous indications that Glomus mosseae and Glomus monosporum are indistinguishable taxonomic entities. Accepted: 14 February 1998  相似文献

The 5.8S subunit and flanking internal transcribed spacer (ITS) regions in nuclear ribosomal DNA (rDNA) from spores of Glomus etunicatum MD107, MD127, TN101, and FL329 were amplified by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) using ITS1Kpn and ITS4Pst as primers. The amplification products (597, 599, 598, and 613 bp, respectively) were cloned and sequenced. The similarity among ITS region sequences from MD107, MD127, and TN101 was 99%, whereas the sequence similarity between the ITS regions of these three DNAs and that from FL329 was 91%. The 5.8S rDNA sequences of all four G. etunicatum isolates were identical. In contrast, major dissimilarities in the corresponding rDNA sequence regions of other glomalean taxa were observed. Oligonucleotide sequences unique to G. etunicatum were tested for their specificity in PCR amplification of genomic DNA from spores of 55 isolates comprising 29 glomalean fungi: 18 isolates of G. etunicatum, five G. intraradices, three G. claroideum, 16 other Glomus isolates, and 11 other glomalean taxa from each of four other genera. The G. etunicatum isolates were from a broad range of geographic regions and soils. The oligonucleotide pair GETU1:GETU2 primed specific amplification of an oligonucleotide sequence (approximately 400 bp) present in all G. etunicatum. This primer pair did not prime PCR when template consisted of DNA from any of the other glomalean fungi or any of the non-mycorrhizal controls, including roots of corn (Zea mays). In addition, the pair successfully detected G. etunicatum in nested PCR using a primary PCR product amplified from highly diluted extracts of colonized corn roots using modified ITS1:ITS4 primers. In the phylogenetic analysis of Glomus 5.8S and ITS2 rDNA region sequences, which included 500 bootstrap data sets, confidence in the G. etunicatum branch was very strong (90%) and clearly independent of G. claroideum and G. intraradices, to which it is very closely related.

Crown rot is one of the main important fungal diseases affecting wheat in many areas of the world, including Australia, USA, and Iran. Until now, there had been no report of this pathogen in Iraq. Plants displaying crown rot symptoms were observed in Shaat Alarab (Basra, Iraq); we investigated the causal agent of the disease. Samples were surface-sterilized in bleach (1% available chlorine) and cultured on quarter-strength potato dextrose agar plates. DNA was extracted from fungal mycelia, using a modified CTAB protocol. The ITS/5.8S regions were amplified using primer pair ITS1 and ITS4. PCR products purified using a gel extraction kit were sequenced. The sequence that was detected was used to BLAST against NCBI data. The most similar sequence was the ITS/5.8S rDNA region of Fusarium pseudograminearum (strain NRRL28062), showing 97.95% identity. This species normally causes crown rot, resulting in severe damage under dry spring conditions. A pathogenicity test employed to assess the disease-causing ability of the strain showed significant disease symptoms up to 57% infected spikelets. The results confirmed the presence of F. pseudograminearum as a causal agent of wheat crown rot in Iraq. The presence of this pathogen demands further investigations to develop resistant cultivars and/or mechanical control.  相似文献

The Pyrenomycetes, defined physiologically by the formation of a flask-shaped fruiting body present in the sexual form, are a monophyletic group of fungi that consist of a wide diversity of populations including human and plant pathogens. Based on sequence analysis of 18S ribosomal DNA (rDNA), rDNA regions conserved among the Pyrenomycetes but divergent among other organisms were identified and used to develop selective PCR primers and a highly specific primer set. The primers presented here were used to amplify large portions of the 18S rDNA as well as the entire internal transcribed spacer (ITS) region (ITS 1, 5.8S rDNA, and ITS 2). In addition to database searches, the specificity of the primers was verified by PCR amplification of DNA extracted from pure culture isolates and by sequence analysis of fungal rDNA PCR-amplified from environmental samples. In addition, denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis (DGGE) analyses were performed on closely related Colletotrichum isolates serving as a model pathogenic genus of the Pyrenomycetes. Although both ITS and 18S rDNA DGGE analyses of Colletotrichum were consistent with a phylogeny established from sequence analysis of the ITS region, DGGE analysis of the ITS region was found to be more sensitive than DGGE analysis of the 18S rDNA. This study introduces molecular tools for the study of Pyrenomycete fungi by the development of two specific primers, demonstration of the enhanced sensitivity of ITS-DGGE for typing of closely related isolates and application of these tools to environmental samples.  相似文献

Extremely long PCR fragments were generated by PCR amplification of ITS and 5.8S rDNA from Cochlodinium polykrikoides against other dinoflagellates. These patterns were consistent among geographically different isolates of C. polykrikoies. DNA sequencing reactions revealed that the PCR products were 1,166 bp in length and consisted of 813 bp of ITS1, 160 bp of 5.8S rDNA and 193 bp of ITS2. Thus, the long length was caused mainly by the long ITS1 sequence. Cryptically, the ITS1 contained a tract of 101 bp that occurs six times in tandem. The six repeated elements had identical nucleotide sequences. ITS1, therefore, separated three distinct regions: the 5' end (122 bp), the six parallel repeats (606 bp), and the 3' region (85 bp). Interestingly, both the single and six-repeat sequences should be palindrome-like sequences. In inferred secondary structures, both repeat sequences formed a long helical structure. This is the first reported discovery of comparatively long internal repeats in the ITS1 of dinoflagellates.  相似文献

The internal transcribed spacer (ITS) of the ribosomal DNA (rDNA) subunit repeat was sequenced in 12 isolates of Cylindrocladium floridanum and 11 isolates of Cylindrocarpon destructans. Sequences were aligned and compared with ITS sequences of other fungi in GenBank. Some intraspecific variability was present within our collections of C. destructans but not in C. floridanum. Three ITS variants were identified within C. destructans, but there was no apparent association between ITS variants and host or geographic origin. Two internal primers were synthesized for the specific amplification of portions of the ITS for C. floridanum, and two primers were designed to amplify all three variants of C. destructans. The species-specific primers amplified PCR products of the expected length when tested with cultures of C, destructans and C. floridanum from white spruce, black spruce, Norway spruce, red spruce, jack pine, red pine, and black walnut from eight nurseries and three plantations in Quebec. No amplification resulted from PCR reactions on fungal DNA from 26 common contaminants of conifer roots. For amplifications directly from infected tissues, a nested primer PCR using two rounds of amplification was combined with multiplex PCR approach resulting in the amplification of two different species-specific PCR fragments in the same reaction. First, the entire ITS was amplified with one universal primer and a second primer specific to fungi; a second round of amplification was carried out with species-specific primers that amplified a 400-bp PCR product from C. destructans and a 328-bp product from C. floridanum. The species-specific fragments were amplified directly from infected roots from which one or the two fungi had been isolated.  相似文献

The dimorphic yeast Geotrichum candidum (teleomorph: Galactomyces candidus) is commonly used to inoculate washed-rind and bloomy-rind cheeses. However, little is known about the phylogenetic lineage of this microorganism. We have sequenced the complete 18S, 5.8S, 26S ribosomal RNA genes and their internal transcribed spacers (ITS1) and ITS2 regions (5126 nucleotides) from 18 G. candidum strains from various environmental niches, with a focus on dairy strains. Multiple sequence alignments revealed the presence of 60 polymorphic sites, which is generally unusual for ribosomal DNA (rDNA) within a given species because of the concerted evolution mechanism. This mechanism drives genetic homogenization to prevent the divergent evolution of rDNA copies within individuals. While the polymorphisms observed were mainly substitutions, one insertion/deletion (indel) polymorphism was detected in ITS1. No polymorphic sites were detected downstream from this indel site, that is, in 5.8S and ITS2. More surprisingly, many sequence electrophoregrams generated during the sequencing of the rDNA had dual peaks, suggesting that many individuals exhibited intragenomic rDNA variability. The ITS1-5.8S-ITS2 regions of four strains were cloned. The sequence analysis of 68 clones revealed 32 different ITS1-5.8S-ITS2 variants within these four strains. Depending on the strain, from four to twelve variants were detected, indicating that multiple rDNA copies were present in the genomes of these G. candidum strains. These results contribute to the debate concerning the use of the ITS region for barcoding fungi and suggest that community profiling techniques based on rDNA should be used with caution.  相似文献

DNA条形码技术是利用标准DNA片段进行准确快速鉴定物种的一种方法,理想的DNA条形码片段应具有高通用性。虽然核糖体DNA内部转录间隔区II(ITS2)被建议作为种子植物有效的DNA条形码,但目前裸子植物还没有通用性高的引物可用。为获得高通用性的ITS2引物,本研究基于裸子植物55个属的5.8S基因的保守序列区设计了3个正向引物,与已有的ITS反向引物组合,组成了7对ITS2引物进行通用性的评价。选取了裸子植物8目、12科和40属的56个种用于本文的研究。引物组合5.8SR/ITS4、5.8SRa/ITS4和5.8SF2/S3R因为在科水平评价中通用性低或者产生的PCR产物有双带,因而排除在全部物种水平上进一步评价。其余4对引物(GYM-5.8SF1/ITS4、GYM-5.8SFl/S3R、GYM-5.8SF2/ITS4和S2F/S3R)在56个物种的PCR检测中,均有100%的扩增率。基于PCR产物的亮度、序列质量和正反向引物覆盖率的综合评价,建议引物GYM_5.8SF2/ITS4作为裸子植物条形码片段ITS2最好的通用引物。  相似文献

In a study for the isolation of new Helicobacter strains, biopsy samples were taken from the gastric mucosa of dogs and subjected to PCR amplification using a Helicobacter-specific primer pair (H276f and H676r, directed to the 16S rDNA) to identify members of this genus in the specimens. From one Helicobacter positive sample, a bacterial strain was isolated which displayed a characteristic band after PCR amplification with the Helicobacter-specific primer pair. The isolate designated H2/98-FUNDUS was motile, oxidase-, catalase- and aminopeptidase-positive and grew only under microaerophilic conditions at 37 degrees C. The bacterium was classified by a polyphasic approach, including analysis of the isoprenoid quinones, fatty acids, polar lipids and partial 16S rDNA sequence. Analysis of the 16S rDNA sequence (1003 bases) indicated that the strain H2/98-FUNDUS is a member of the genus Brevundimonas and most closely related to Brevundimonas aurantiaca DSM 4731T (99.5% sequence similarity). Isolate H2/98-FUNDUS contained a predominant ubiquinone Q-10 and a fatty acid profile with the major compounds C18:1 and C16:0. In the polar lipid extract, phosphatidylglycerol, six unknown phospholipids, one unknown phosphoglycolipid, two unknown glycolipids and two unknown aminolipids were detected. All these results indicate that H2/98-FUNDUS represents a new member of the genus Brevundimonas which gives a positive signal upon PCR employing the Helicobacter-specific primer pair.  相似文献

An oligonucleotide primer (CgInt), synthesised from the variable internally transcribed spacer (ITS) 1 region of ribosomal DNA (rDNA) of Collectotrichum gloeosporioides was used for PCR with primer ITS4 (from a conserved sequence of the rDNA) to amplify a 450-bp fragment from the 25 C. gloeosporioides isolates tested. This specific fragment was amplified from as little as 10 fg of fungal DNA. A similar sized fragment was amplified from DNA extracted from C. gloeosporioides-infected tomato tissue. RAPD analysis divided 39 C. gloeosporioides isolates into more than 12 groups linked to host source and geographic origin. Based on the results obtained, the potential of PCR for detection and differentiation of C. gloeosporioides is discussed.  相似文献

Alternaria helianthi is an important seed-borne pathogenic fungus responsible for blight disease in sunflower. The current detection methods, which are based on culture and morphological identification, are time-consuming, laborious and are not always reliable. A PCR-based diagnostic method was developed with species-specific primers designed based on the sequence data of a region consisting of the 5.8S RNA gene and internal transcribed spacers—ITS 1 and ITS 2 of nuclear ribosomal RNA gene (rDNA) repeats of A. helianthi. The specificity of the primer pairs AhN1F and AhN1R designed was verified by PCR analysis of DNA from 18 Alternaria helianthi strains isolated from India, 14 non-target Alternaria spp. and 11 fungal isolates of other genera. A single amplification product of 357-bp was detected from DNA of A. helianthi isolates. No cross-reaction was observed with any of the other isolates tested. The detection limit of the PCR method was of 10?pg from template DNA. The primers could also detect the pathogen in infected sunflower seed. This species-specific PCR method provides a quick, simple, powerful and reliable alternative to conventional methods in the detection and identification of A. helianthi. This is the first report of an A. helianthi-specific primer set.  相似文献

From comparison of the alignments of the internally transcribed spacers (ITS) of ribosomal DNA from Ganoderma associated with oil palm basal stem rot (BSR) and other Ganoderma species, two specific primer pairs were selected to provide a specific DNA amplification of pathogenic Ganoderma in oil palm. Each primer pair produced a single PCR product of about 450 bp (for primer pair IT1–IT2) and 334 bp (for primer pair IT1–IT3) when oil palm Ganoderma DNA was used. No PCR amplification product was observed when other Ganoderma species DNA was used in PCR amplification with these primer pairs. Three specific restriction enzyme sites were identified in the ITS and intergenic spacer (IGS1) regions. The restriction enzymes MluI, SacI and HinfI were used to digest the ITS-PCR product and restriction enzymes TfiI, ScaI and HincII were used to digest the IGS1-PCR product. Of the three restriction enzymes used in each rDNA region, MluI specifically digested the ITS regions, and TfiI specifically digested the IGS1 region of oil palm Ganoderma. Analysis of the published ITS nucleotide sequences of 31 Ganoderma species showed that the MluI restriction site was not present in other Ganoderma species. The use of both specific primers and restriction enzyme analysis can be applied as a standard protocol to identify pathogenic Ganoderma in oil palm. In this study, the use of specific primers and PCR-RFLP analyses of the rDNA gave consistent results for the characterisation of pathogenic Ganoderma, and indicated that Ganoderma strains associated with BSR disease in oil palms belong to a single species.  相似文献

Abstract An oligonucleotide primer (ChInt) was synthesised from the variable internally transcribed spacer (ITS) 1 region of ribosomal DNA (rDNA) of Cylindrocarpon heteronema . PCR with primers ChInt and ITS4 (from a conserved sequence of the rDNA) amplified a 470-bp fragment from several isolates of C. heteronema but not from various apple wood saprophytes. Amplification of this fragment was achieved from 1–2 pg of fungal DNA. These primers amplified a fragment of the same size from DNA extracted from cankered wood but only after impurities were removed from the DNA on a Qiagen tip-5 column. Southern hybridization analysis confirmed the 470-bp fragment from C. heteronema DNA and cankered wood to be identical.  相似文献

Ribosomal DNA sequences for the ITS 1, 5.8S, ITS 2 and adjoining regions of the 18S and 25S were obtained from Mimulus glaucescens (Scrophulariaceae) via cloned PCR products. The spacer sequences were completely unrelated to other plant taxa, although spacer lengths were approximately the same. Interestingly, the Mimulus 5.8S sequence was much more divergent than other higher-plant rDNA sequences. Consideration of the secondary structure of the 5.8S rRNA shows that most of the changes in Mimulus are compensatory and preserve the basic secondary structure of the mature RNA molecule.  相似文献

Summary The nucleotide sequence of a spacer region between rice 17S and 25S rRNA genes (rDNAs) has been determined. The coding regions for the mature 17S, 5.8S and 25S rRNAs were identified by sequencing terminal regions of these rRNAs. The first internal transcribed spacer (ITS1), between 17S and 5.8S rDNAs, is 194–195 bp long. The second internal transcribed spacer (ITS2), between 5.8S and 25S rDNAs, is 233 bp long. Both spacers are very rich in G+C, 72.7% for ITS1 and 77.3% for ITS2. The 5.8S rDNA is 163–164 bp long and similar in primary and secondary structures to other eukaryotic 5.8S rDNAs. The 5.8S rDNA is capable of interacting with the 5′ terminal region of 25S rDNA.  相似文献

We developed a PCR detection method that selectively recognizes a single biological control agent and demonstrated that universally primed PCR (UP-PCR) can identify strain-specific markers. Antagonistic strains of Clonostachys rosea (syn. Gliocladium roseum) were screened by UP-PCR, and a strain-specific marker was identified for strain GR5. No significant sequence homology was found between this marker and any other sequences in the databases. Southern blot analysis of the PCR product revealed that the marker represented a single-copy sequence specific for strain GR5. The marker was converted into a sequence-characterized amplified region (SCAR), and a specific PCR primer pair was designed. Eighty-two strains, isolated primarily from Danish soils, and 31 soil samples, originating from different localities, were tested, and this specificity was confirmed. Two strains responded to the SCAR primers under suboptimal PCR conditions, and the amplified sequences from these strains were similar, but not identical, to the GR5 marker. Soil assays in which total DNA was extracted from GR5-infested and noninoculated field soils showed that the SCAR primers could detect GR5 in a pool of mixed DNA and that no other soil microorganisms present contained sequences amplified by the primers. The assay developed will be useful for monitoring biological control agents released into natural field soil.  相似文献
