Pleurotus spp. are well-known and economically important cultivated mushrooms in China. Knowledge of the genetic relationship between the Chinese cultivars is essential to the improvement of P. ostreatus strains. Sequence analysis of the internal transcribed spacers (ITS), translation elongation factor (EF1α) and the second largest subunit of RNA polymerase II (RPB2) was performed to assess the genetic diversity of Pleurotus ostreatus strains cultivated in China. The phylogenetic tree constructed using the combined results of the ITS, EF1α and RPB2 sequence analyses showed the genetic relationships between the studied strains. Our phylogenetic analyses therefore provided valuable information on the relationships among the P. ostreatus strains used in this study and that was useful for examining genetic diversity among these strains. 相似文献

Parastrigea brasiliana (Szidat, 1928) Dubois, 1964, was described from (Cochlearius cochlearius) in South America. The taxonomy of this species has been unstable due that it was described as a member of Strigea Abildgaard, 1790. However, the same author one year later transferred it to Apharyngostrigea Ciurea, 1927 and since then, it has been alternatively placed in the genus Apharyngostrigea or Parastrigea Szidat, 1928 from Strigeidae. In the current research, specimens identified as P. brasiliana were collected from type host in southeastern Mexico. We sequenced three molecular markers: the internal transcribed spacers ITS1 and ITS2 including the 5.8S gene (ITS region), the D1-D3 domains of the large subunit (LSU) from nuclear DNA and cytochrome c oxidase subunit I (cox 1) from mitochondrial DNA. These sequences were aligned with other sequences available in the GenBank dataset from Strigeidae. Maximum likelihood and Bayesian analyses inferred with three molecular markers consistently showed that P. brasiliana is not closely related to other members of the genus Parastrigea and are placed in a reciprocal monophyletic clade inside Apharyngostrigea, with very low genetic divergence, varying from 0 to 0.09% for the ITS, from 0 to 0.08% for the LSU and from 0.21 to 0.43% for cox 1. Consequently, we proposed to reallocate it to A. brasiliana. The phylogenetic analyses obtained are key and very useful for re-evaluate the morphology of A. brasiliana because this species share morphological characters with the genera Parastrigea (concentration of vitelline follicles distributed in two lateral expansions on the forebody) and Apharyngostrigea (absence of pharynx). Finally, the current record of A. brasiliana expands its distribution range in four countries, namely, the USA, Mexico, Venezuela and Brazil, in the Neotropical region. 相似文献

The genetic diversity of Cylindrospermopsis strains (cyanobacteria) was examined using mainly the 16S-23S internally transcribed spacer (ITS1) sequences. Strains were grouped in three clusters: (i) America, (ii) Europe, and (iii) Africa and Australia. These results suggested a recent spread of Cylindrospermopsis across the American and European continents from restricted warm refuge areas instead of exchanges between continents. On the other hand, they also suggested a recent colonization of Australia by African strains. 相似文献

In order to evaluate whether the two wild species, Panax vietnamensis (from Vietnam) and Panax stipuleanatus (from primeval forest, Yunan Province) could markedly increase the genetic diversity of cultivated Panax notoginseng (Wenshan, Yunnan Province), both start codon targeted (SCoT) markers and internal transcribed spacer (ITS) DNA barcode were firstly employed in this genus. A total of 173 amplification bands were generated by 16 selected SCoT primers, in which 153 (89.5%) were polymorphic. Nei's gene-diversity indicated that the genetic diversity of three species (h = 0.16 and I = 0.27) was obviously higher than that of P. notoginseng (h = 0.09). Similarly, 38 different ITS sites out of 639 (5.9%) were detected among three species, but only one was different within 22 samples of P. notoginseng. Analysis of molecular variance (AMOVA) showed a greater proportion of genetic diversity existed within (61.3%) rather than among (38.7%) groups at genus level. In addition, P. vietnamensis had a closer relationship with P. notoginseng than P. stipuleanatus. These results would be significant for increasing the genetic diversity of P. notoginseng population by hybridization with P. vietnamensis and P. stipuleanatus, thus obtaining more varieties for future cultivar breeding and germplasm resources management. 相似文献

Morphological, toxicological and phylogenetic analyses, using the partial LSU gene and internal spacer (ITS) regions of the rDNA gene, were combined to evaluate the intraregional diversity of Alexandrium catenella occurring along the southern coast of Chile. Twenty-two strains isolated from different localities along the wide area of distribution of the species (from 42°S to 55°S) were examined by these three approaches. Morphologically, although the strains showed diagnostic characters according to the species definition, variations in these traits within and between strains were also observed. The absence of an apical or posterior attachment pore, for instance, was observed mainly in old isolates. Indirect connection between the apical and 1′ plates, traits normally seen in other species of the same genus, was also noted in some strains. However, the lack of a ventral pore on the 1′ plate was one of the most distinctive characteristics present in all the Chilean strains. Toxicologically, the Chilean strains were characterized by the dominance of N-sulfocarbamate (C1,2) and gonyautoxins (GTX1–4), but also by the scarcity or absence of saxitoxin. Considering the dominance of these toxins in each strain, at least two distinctive toxin patterns were distinguished. Through rDNA sequence analysis, the Chilean strains were segregated as part of Clade I (North American) of the Alexandrium tamarense species complex. Nevertheless, significant genetic diversity was also observed among the Chilean strains, especially using ITS sequences. Through these three approaches, Chilean strains of A. catenella showed significant intraregional variability, which is appropriate for a native species. However, the distribution of its genetic diversity seems to be inconsistent with the apparent northward expansion observed along the west coast of South America. 相似文献

Cultured isolates of the marine cyanobacteria Prochlorococcus and Synechococcus vary widely in their pigment compositions and growth responses to light and nutrients, yet show greater than 96% identity in their 16S ribosomal DNA (rDNA) sequences. In order to better define the genetic variation that accompanies their physiological diversity, sequences for the 16S-23S rDNA internal transcribed spacer (ITS) region were determined in 32 Prochlorococcus isolates and 25 Synechococcus isolates from around the globe. Each strain examined yielded one ITS sequence that contained two tRNA genes. Dramatic variations in the length and G+C content of the spacer were observed among the strains, particularly among Prochlorococcus strains. Secondary-structure models of the ITS were predicted in order to facilitate alignment of the sequences for phylogenetic analyses. The previously observed division of Prochlorococcus into two ecotypes (called high and low-B/A after their differences in chlorophyll content) were supported, as was the subdivision of the high-B/A ecotype into four genetically distinct clades. ITS-based phylogenies partitioned marine cluster A Synechococcus into six clades, three of which can be associated with a particular phenotype (motility, chromatic adaptation, and lack of phycourobilin). The pattern of sequence divergence within and between clades is suggestive of a mode of evolution driven by adaptive sweeps and implies that each clade represents an ecologically distinct population. Furthermore, many of the clades consist of strains isolated from disparate regions of the world's oceans, implying that they are geographically widely distributed. These results provide further evidence that natural populations of Prochlorococcus and Synechococcus consist of multiple coexisting ecotypes, genetically closely related but physiologically distinct, which may vary in relative abundance with changing environmental conditions. 相似文献

Artemisia halodendron is the most dominant and constructive species among the Horqin sandy land. We evaluated its genetic variation and phylogenetic analysis within and among its populations sampled from six different habitats gradient from the Horqin sandy land in the northeast of China by using inter-simple sequence repeat polymorphism (ISSR) and the nuclear ribosomal internal transcribed spacer (ITS) molecular markers. The results showed that eight ISSR primers generated 84 bands, of which 48 (57.14%) were polymorphic. The highest genetic diversity was observed in the inter-dune lowland population, whereas the lowest diversity was found in the mobile dune population. The AMOVA analysis revealed a relatively high level of genetic variation within its populations. The alignment of 124 ITS sequences showed 401 variable sites and the GC content ranged from 54.02% to 57.32%. The ITS tree revealed the existence of three major clades, and that the semi-mobile dune population was more closely related to the inter-dune lowland population. 相似文献

Nuclear ribosomal DNAs were explored to establish genetic relationships among Ficus carica cultivars and elucidate its molecular evolution. Results suggest the occurrence of haplotypic and nucleotide diversity. The neighbour-joining dendrograms show a continuous diversity that characterize local resources. Furthermore, our results demonstrated that the ITS2 spacer is seating to a larger number of substitutions than the ITS1 spacer. Sequence analysis demonstrates that the ITS2 spacer is evolving 1.12 times faster than the ITS1 one. The ratio of transition/transversion of 0.278 suggests that the 5.8S gene is evolving 2.84 and 3.20 times less rapidly than the spacers ITS1 and ITS2, respectively. Molecular evolution analysis confirmed an explicit rejection of the null hypothesis in F. carica. ITS1, ITS2 spacers and the 5.8S gene evolved under a strictly neutral model of molecular evolution. A scenario of positive selection and recent expansion of F. carica genotypes across Tunisia seems to be retained. 相似文献

Background and Aims
This study was conducted to reveal the genetic diversity of common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) nodulating rhizobia in various agroecological regions in Nepal.Method
A total of 63 strains were isolated from common bean grown in the soils collected from seven bean fields in Nepal and characterized based on the partial sequences of 16S–23S internal transcribed spacer (ITS) regions, 16S rDNA, nodC, and nifH. Symbiotic properties of some representative strains with host plants were examined to elucidate their characteristics in relation to genotype and their origin.Results
The isolated strains belonged to Rhizobium leguminosarum, Rhizobium etli, Rhizobium phaseoli, and one unknown Rhizobium lineage, all belonging to a common symbiovar (sv.) phaseoli. Nine ITS genotypes were detected mainly corresponding to a single site, including a dominant group at three sites harboring highly diverse multiple ITS sequences. Three symbiotic genotypes corresponded to a geographical region, not to the ribosomal DNA group, suggesting horizontal transfer of symbiotic genes separately in each region. Great differences in nitrogenase activity and nodule forming ability among the strains irrespective of their species and origin were observed.Conclusions
Nepalese Himalaya harbor phylogenetically highly diverse and site-specific strains of common bean rhizobia, some of which could have high potential of symbiotic nitrogen fixation. 相似文献12.
Malacobdella arrokeana is an entocommensal nemertean exclusively found in the bivalve geoduck Panopea abbreviata, and it is the only representative of the genus in the southern hemisphere. To characterize its genetic diversity, population structure and recent demographic history, we conducted the first genetic survey on this species, using sequence data for the cytochrome oxidase I gene (COI), 16S rRNA (16S) and the internal transcribed spacer (ITS2). Only four different ITS2 genotypes were found in the whole sample, and the two main haplotypes identified in the mitochondrial dataset were present among all localities with a diversity ranging from 0.583 to 0.939. Nucleotide diversity was low (π = 0.001–0.002). No significant genetic structure was detected between populations, and mismatch distribution patterns and neutrality tests results are consistent with a population in expansion or under selection. Analysis of molecular variance (AMOVA) revealed that the largest level of variance observed was due to intrapopulation variation (100, 100 and 94.39 % for 16S, COI and ITS2, respectively). F st values were also non-significant. The observed lack of population structure is likely due to high levels of genetic connectivity in combination with the lack or permeability of biogeographic barriers and episodes of habitat modification. 相似文献

In order to investigate the intraspecific variability in Hannaella kunmingensis, 11 isolates, including the type strain, were analyzed for their morphological and biochemical traits. The combined internal transcribed spacer region (ITS), D1/D2 domains of the large subunit rDNA (LSU), and cytochrome b gene were examined using phylogenetic and parsimony network analyses. Our investigations revealed differences in colony morphology as well as differences in 31 out of 64 phenotypic characteristics examined, including growth in lactose, vitamin free medium, xylitol, L-arabinitol, and nitrite. Growth in the presence of 0.1 % cycloheximide was also highlighted in H. kunmingensis. All the 11 strains were conspecific in the LSU; however, variations of about 2.5 % were found in the ITS while isolate CBS 8356 exhibited a 27.3 % divergence from the other strains in the cytochrome b gene. Parsimony network analysis revealed the existence of three haplotypes among the H. kunmingensis strains studied but excluded CBS 8356 from the network connecting these haplotypes. This study contributes to the knowledge of the intraspecific diversity of H. kunmingensis. To accommodate such intraspecific variations, an emendation of the species diagnosis is proposed. 相似文献

The genus Ostreopsis is an important component of benthic and epiphytic dinoflagellate assemblages in coral reefs and seaweed beds of Malaysia.
Members of the species may produce toxins that contribute to ciguatera fish poisoning. In this study, two species have been
isolated and cultured, Ostreopsis ovata and Ostreopsis lenticularis. Analyses of the 5.8S subunit and internal transcribed spacer regions ITS1 and ITS2 of the ribosomal RNA gene sequences of
these two species showed that they are separate species, consistent with morphological designations. The nucleotide sequences
of the 5.8S subunit and ITS1 and ITS2 regions of the rRNA gene were also used to evaluate the interpopulation and intrapopulation
genetic diversity of O. ovata found in Malaysian waters. Results showed a low level of sequence divergence within populations. At the interpopulation level,
the rRNA gene sequence distinguished two groups of genetically distinct strains, representative of a Malacca Straits group
(isolates from Port Dickson) and a South China Sea group (isolates from Pulau Redang and Kota Kinabalu). Part of the sequences
in the ITS regions may be useful in the design of oligonucleotide probes specific for each group. Results from this study
show that the ITS regions can be used as genetic markers for taxonomic, biogeographic, and fine-scale population studies of
this species.

Pseudo-nitzschia pungens is a planktonic marine diatom known to be widespread in tropical and temperate coastal waters. We examined the population genetic structure of tropical Southeast Asian populations of P. pungens and compared it with those of northern and southern temperate populations. The secondary structures of the nuclear encoded internal transcribed spacer (ITS) region of 164 strains of P. pungens were modeled and analyzed. The tree revealed three ITS entities: clade I (comprised of P. pungens var. pungens) was distributed mainly in northern temperate waters; clade II (comprised of both P. pungens var. pungens and var. cingulata) was mainly from the NE Pacific; and clade III (comprised of both P. pungens var. pungens and var. aveirensis) was restricted to tropical and warm-temperate waters. Hybrids of both P. pungens var. pungens and var. cingulata co-occurred in clades I and II. Sixty haplotypes were revealed from the sequences of 164 strains. Haplotype diversity inferred from the median-joining network was in accordance with phylogenetic analysis, further supporting the grouping of the P. pungens haplogroups. Our results revealed limited gene flow between P. pungens from tropical and temperate waters, and significant population structure, as estimated by an analysis of molecular variance (AMOVA), with 75% of the total ITS variation found among populations (ФST = 0.75). This study suggests that distinct environmental clines, such as ocean thermohaline circulation, have a potential for fragmenting and dispersing global populations of P. pungens. Formation of the Isthmus of Panama, in particular, is speculated to play a role in this allopatric differentiation in P. pungens populations worldwide. 相似文献

Polymerase chain reaction restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR‐RFLP) analysis of the plastid ribulose‐1,5‐bisphosphate carboxylase (RuBisCo) spacer region was developed for a more reliable and rapid species identification of cultivated Porphyra in combination with PCR‐RFLP analysis of the nuclear internal transcribed spacer (ITS) region. From the PCR‐RFLP analyses of the plastid and nuclear DNA, we examined seven strains of conchocelis that were used for cultivation as Porphyra tenera Kjellman but without strict species identification. The PCR‐RFLP analyses suggested that two strains, C‐32 and 90‐02, were cultivated P. tenera and that the other five strains, C‐24, C‐28, C‐29, C‐30 and M‐1, were Porphyra yezoensis f. narawaensis Miura. To identify species more accurately and to reveal additional genetic variation, the two strains C‐32 and 90‐02 were further studied by sequencing their RuBisCo spacer and ITS‐1 regions. Although RuBisCo spacer sequences of the two strains were identical to each other, each of their ITS‐1 sequences showed a single substitution. The sequence data again confirmed that the two strains (C‐32 and 90‐02) were cultivated P. tenera, and suggested that the two strains showed some genetic variation. We concluded that PCR‐RFLP analysis of the plastid and nuclear DNA is a powerful tool for reliable and rapid species identification of many strains of cultivated Porphyra in Japan and for the collection of genetically variable breeding material of Porphyra. 相似文献

Pseudomonas syringae pv. tagetis, a plant pathogen being considered as a biological control agent of Canada thistle (Cirsium arvense), produces tagetitoxin, an inhibitor of RNA polymerase which results in chlorosis of developing shoot tissues. Although the bacterium is known to affect several plant species in the Asteraceae and has been reported in several countries, little is known of its genetic diversity. The genetic relatedness of 24 strains of P. syringae pv. tagetis with respect to each other and to other P. syringae and Pseudomonas savastanoi pathovars was examined using 16S–23S rDNA intergenic spacer (ITS) sequence analysis. The size of the 16S–23S rDNA ITS regions ranged from 508 to 548 bp in length for all 17 P. syringae and P. savastanoi pathovars examined. The size of the 16S–23S rDNA ITS regions for all the P. syringae pv. helianthi and all the P. syringae pv. tagetis strains examined were 526 bp in length. Furthermore, the 16S–23S rDNA ITS regions of both P. syringae pv. tagetis and P. syringae pv. helianthi had DNA signatures at specific nucleotides that distinguished them from the 15 other P. syringae and P. savastanoi pathovars examined. These results provide strong evidence that P. syringae pv. helianthi is a nontoxigenic form of P. syringae pv. tagetis. The results also demonstrated that there is little genetic diversity among the known strains of P. syringae pv. tagetis. The genetic differences that do exist were not correlated with differences in host plant, geographical origin, or the ability to produce toxin. 相似文献

Fungal keratitis caused by the species of Aspergillus is a common and leading problem in developing countries like India. In this study, a total of 135 isolates from Aspergillus keratitis were studied by sequence analyses of the internal transcribed spacer (ITS) region performed by nucleotide-nucleotide BLAST analysis followed by the initial identification of the isolates based on conidial and colony morphology. The sequence analysis revealed several unusual species which were never reported in eye infections such as A. tamrii, A. tubingensis, A. braslliensis, A. nomius, A. pseudonomius, A. sydowii, Eurotium amstelodami. The sequence analysis of the ITS region; the β-tubulin and calmodulin genes brought out the genetic diversity among the isolates as the study intended to locate a more sensitive target sequence to study genetic diversity among a set of test fungal isolates. The PCR amplified sequences of the test isolates of the study as well as sequences belonging to section Flavi obtained from Genbank database were compared and analyzed along with three standard isolates by phylogenetic tree (Neighbor-joining) as to find out a target region/gene that could produce a better resolution to differentiate the isolates. Accordingly, the calmodulin gene had provided better resolution compared to ITS and β-tubulin to study the diversity among the test Aspergillus species isolated from fungal corneal ulcer. 相似文献

The genetic properties of 45 pseudomonad strains isolated from cereal cultures exhibiting symptoms of basal bacteriosis have been investigated. Considerable genetic diversity has been demonstrated using DNA fingerprints obtained by amplification with REP, ERIC, and BOX primers. Restriction analysis of the 16S–23S internal transcribed spacer (ITS1) allowed the strains to be subdivided into two major groups. In a phylogenetic tree, the ITS1s of these groups fell into two clusters, which also included the ITS1 of Pseudomonas syringae (“Syringae” cluster) and the ITS1 of P. fluorescens, P. tolaasii, P. reactans, P. gingeri, and P. agarici (“Fluorescens” cluster) from the GenBank database. Comparison of the ITS1 divergence levels within the “Fluorescens” cluster suggests expediency of treating P. tolaasii, P. reactans, various P. fluorescens groups, and, possibly, P. gingeri and P. agarici as subspecies of one genospecies. The intragenomic heterogeneity of ITS1s was observed in some of the pseudomonad strains studied. The results of amplification with specific primers and subsequent sequencing of the amplificate suggest the possibility of the presence of a functionally active syrB gene involved in syringomycin biosynthesis in the strains studied.__________Translated from Mikrobiologiya, Vol. 74, No. 4, 2005, pp. 537–544.Original Russian Text Copyright © 2005 by Bobrova, Milyutina, Troitskii. 相似文献
