NBS-profiling was used to study NBS-LRR resistance genes polymorphism in 32 Russian and foreign apple (M. domestica) varieties and nine Antonovka landraces. NBS-LRR resistance genes variability in the studied apple varieties was rather low. While in Antonovka landraces specific NBS-patterns were revealed, which may indicate the presence of a number of unique resistance genes. The results confirm that Antonovka landraces belong to M. domestica and Yakutskaya apple belongs to the section Gymnomeles. 相似文献

Flavonoids are a large family of polyphenolic compounds with manifold functions in plants. Present in a wide range of vegetables and fruits, flavonoids form an integral part of the human diet and confer multiple health benefits. Here, we report on metabolic engineering of the flavonoid biosynthetic pathways in apple (Malus domestica Borkh.) by overexpression of the maize (Zea mays L.) leaf colour (Lc) regulatory gene. The Lc gene was transferred into the M. domestica cultivar Holsteiner Cox via Agrobacterium tumefaciens-mediated transformation which resulted in enhanced anthocyanin accumulation in regenerated shoots. Five independent Lc lines were investigated for integration of Lc into the plant genome by Southern blot and PCR analyses. The Lc-transgenic lines contained one or two Lc gene copies and showed increased mRNA levels for phenylalanine ammonia-lyase (PAL), chalcone synthase (CHS), flavanone 3 beta-hydroxylase (FHT), dihydroflavonol 4-reductase (DFR), leucoanthocyanidin reductases (LAR), anthocyanidin synthase (ANS) and anthocyanidin reductase (ANR). HPLC-DAD and LC-MS analyses revealed higher levels of the anthocyanin idaein (12-fold), the flavan 3-ol epicatechin (14-fold), and especially the isomeric catechin (41-fold), and some distinct dimeric proanthocyanidins (7 to 134-fold) in leaf tissues of Lc-transgenic lines. The levels of phenylpropanoids and their derivatives were only slightly increased. Thus, Lc overexpression in Malus domestica resulted in enhanced biosynthesis of specific flavonoid classes, which play important roles in both phytopathology and human health. 相似文献

Based on optimized protocols for anther and microspore culture in apple (Malus x domestica Borkh.), the regeneration phase and the efficiency of the processes in general were compared by using the same androgenic material of two experimental years. Microspore culture resulted in an increase in embryo induction depending on the genotype (Höfer 2004), however anther culture was superior to microspore culture in the total number of regenerated plants. The regeneration process in anther and microspore culture is similar. Two developmental pathways were observed: 1) secondary embryogenesis followed by adventitious shoot formation and 2) direct adventitious shoot formation from primary embryos. Induction and regeneration processes are delayed in microspore culture as compared with anther culture. The reasons for the reduced regeneration efficiency in microspore culture are discussed. 相似文献

Background
Gene duplication is central to genome evolution. In plants, genes can be duplicated through small-scale events and large-scale duplications often involving polyploidy. The apple belongs to the subtribe Pyrinae (Rosaceae), a diverse lineage that originated via allopolyploidization. Both small-scale duplications and polyploidy may have been important mechanisms shaping the genome of this species. 相似文献6.
The B subfamily of ATP-binding cassette (ABC) proteins (ABCB) plays a vital role in auxin efflux. However, no systematic study has been done in apple. In this study, we performed genomewide identification and expression analyses of the ABCB family in Malus domestica for the first time. We identified a total of 25 apple ABCBs that were divided into three clusters based on the phylogenetic analysis. Most ABCBs within the same cluster demonstrated a similar exon–intron organization. Additionally, the digital expression profiles of ABCB genes shed light on their functional divergence. ABCB1 and ABCB19 are two well-studied auxin efflux carrier genes, and we found that their expression levels are higher in young shoots of M106 than in young shoots of M9. Since young shoots are the main source of auxin synthesis and auxin efflux involves in tree height control. This suggests that ABCB1 and ABCB19 may also take a part in the auxin efflux and tree height control in apple. 相似文献

In this paper, the microsatellite (SSR) loci analysis was used to study apple genotypes with different levels of ploidy. A total of 47 samples were studied (9 diploids, 21 triploids, and 17 tetraploids) for seven microsatellite loci (GD147, Hi02C07, CH02c11, CH04c07, CH03d07, CH02c09, and GD12). It was possible to refine the pedigrees for some forms. It was established that the tetraploidss 20-9-30 and 20-9-27, selected in a hybrid family from the crossing of Wealthy 4x and Antonovka Obyknovennaya, were probably obtained from the self-pollination of the maternal form, since in the most loci they did not inherit alleles from the paternal form. As a result of the alleles distribution analysis, the spontaneous triploid cultivars Nizkorosloe and Sinap Orlovsky were revealed to be formed from the merge of an unreduced ovum and haploid pollen, since in the heterozygous loci both alleles are inherited from the maternal form and only one from the paternal form. According to the obtained data, studied tetraploids may be divided into two groups, which also reflect the features of tetraploids origin. The first group includes tetraploids inherited alleles from one initial diploid form (including spontaneous and induced tetraploids, as well as forms from self-pollination of the tetraploid maternal form). These teraploids, like diploids, amplify 1–2 alleles per locus (on average, for all 7 loci, one genotype amplifies 13 alleles). The second group includes tetraploids carrying alleles from several initial diploid forms. Tetraploids of this group are highly heterozygous and amplify 3–4 alleles at most loci (the maximum number of alleles at all loci, 24 alleles, was identified in the form 30-47-88). Tetraploids of the second group have a greater potential for the genetic diversity of its offspring. Analysis of polymorphism of microsatellite loci can be used (1) as an alternative or additional method for identifying the triploid hybrids from heteroploid crosses of orthoploid forms, which is based on the analysis of the loci most polymorphic in parental forms, and (2) for the analysis of true hybridity (verification of pedigrees), including tetraploid forms. Moreover, we identified the most polymorphic loci suitable for the above purposes. The aspects of qualitative and quantitative interpretation of the fragment analysis of microsatellite loci results are considered. The possibilities and limitations of the SSR analysis for detection of apple ploidy level are discussed. 相似文献

Tolerance of photosystem 2 (PS2) to high temperature in apple (Malus domestica Borkh. cv. Cortland) leaves and peel was investigated by chlorophyll a fluorescence (OJIP) transient after exposure to 25 (control), 40, 42, 44, and 46 °C in the dark for 30 min. The positive
L-step was more pronounced in a peel than in leaves when exposed to 44 °C. Heat-induced K-step became less pronounced in leaves
than in peel when exposed to 42 °C or higher temperature. Leaves had negative L-and K-steps relative to the peel. The decrease
of oxygen-evolving complex (OEC) by heat stress was higher in the peel than in the leaves. OJIP transient from the 46 °C treated
peel could not reach the maximum fluorescence (Fm). The striking thermoeffect was the big decrease in the relative variable fluorescence at 30 ms (VI), especially in the leaves. Compared with the peel, the leaves had less decreased maximum PS2 quantum efficiency (Fv/Fm), photochemical rate constant (KP), Fm and performance index (PI) on absorption basis (PIabs) and less increased minimum fluorescence (F0) and non-photochemical rate constant (KN), but more increased reduction of end acceptors at PS1 electron acceptor side per cross section (RE0/CS0) and per reaction center (RE0/RC0), quantum yield of electron transport from QA
− to the end acceptors (ϕ R0) and total PI (PIabs,total) when exposed to 44 °C. In conclusion, PS2 is more thermally labile than PS1. The reduction of PS2 activity by heat stress
primarily results from an inactivation of OEC. PS2 was more tolerant to high temperature in the leaves than in the peel. 相似文献

Fruit ethylene production genotypes for Md-ACS1 and Md-ACO1 were determined for 60 apple cultivars and 35 advanced breeding
selections. Two alleles for each gene are commonly found in cultivated apple. Earlier studies showed that genotypes homozygous
for the ACS1-2 allele produce less ethylene and have firmer fruit than ACS1-1/2 and ACS1-1/1 genotypes. ACO1 plays a minor
role compared to ACS1, with homozygous ACO1-1 having lower ethylene production. In this study, ACS1-2 and ACO1-1 homozygotes
had firmer fruit at harvest and after 60 days of 0–1°C cold storage compared to other genotypes. These genotypes, ACS1-2/2
and ACO1-1/1, were observed for the following 8 of 95 cultivars/selections: “Delblush”, “Fuji”, “Pacific Beauty”, “Sabina”
and four breeding selections. Cultivars/selections that were homozygous ACS1-2 but not ACO1-1 were: “Ambrosia”, “Aurora Golden
Gala”, “CrimsonCrisp”, “Gala”, “GoldRush”, “Huaguan”, “Pacific Rose, “Pacific Queen”, “Pinova”, “Sansa”, “Sonja”, “Sundance”,
“Zestar”, and 17 breeding selections. Cultivars with the heterozygous ACS1-1/2 genotype were “Arlet”, “Braeburn”, “Cameo”,
“Delicious”, “Delorgue”, “Empire”, “Enterprise”, “Ginger Gold”, “Golden Delicious”, “Granny Smith”, “Honeycrisp”, “Orin”,
“Pink Lady”, “Silken”, “Suncrisp”, “Sundowner”, “Sunrise” and 11 breeding selections. No cultivars were detected homozygous
for both ACS1-1 and ACO1-1, or for both ACS1-2 and ACO1-2. This study is the first large-scale allelic genotyping of both
ethylene synthesis genes for a comprehensive set of apple breeding parents used in an ongoing breeding project. The data reported
here are important for informative selection of parent combinations and marker-assisted selection of progeny for breeding
low ethylene-producing apple cultivars for better storability and improved consumer acceptance. 相似文献

Yeast abundance and species diversity on the surface and in inner tissues of Malus domestica and Pyrus communis fruits under high anthropogenic impact in the city of Moscow (Russia) were studied. Results demonstrated that abundance of epiphytic yeasts on the fruits increased gradually, reaching the maximum of 3.2 × 104 CFU/g on mature fruits. During summer, abundance of endophytes did not change significantly (variation near 2.5 × 103 CFU/g) until complete maturation, while in September their numbers increased to 104 CFU/g. Basidiomycetous yeasts (Filobasidium wieringae, F. magnum, Rhodotorula glutinis, and Rhodosporidiobolus colostri) predominated on the fruit surface. Ascomycetous species were the most diverse group inside the fruits, which quantitatively increased through maturation. It was found that the share of opportunistic species Candida parapsilosis in internal tissues was significant during the entire period of fruit formation and development under anthropogenic impact in the city. Specific properties of epiphytic and endophytic yeast communities developing in natural ecological niches under synanthropic conditions and anthropogenic impact are discussed. 相似文献

Gametophytic self-incompatibility, a natural mechanism occurring in pear and other fruit-tree species, is usually controlled by the S-locus with allelic variants ( S1, S2, Sn). Recently, biochemical and molecular tools have determined the S-genotype of cultivars in various species. The present study determined the S-locus composition of ten European pear cultivars via S-PCR molecular assay, thereby obviating time-consuming fieldwork whose results are often ambiguous because of environmental effects. To verify the S-PCR assay, two putative S-allele DNA fragments of Japanese pear were isolated; their sequences proved to be identical to those reported in the databank. Six S-allele fragments of European pear were then sequenced. While field data confirmed the molecular results, fully and half-compatible field crosses were not distinguishable. 相似文献

Cystatins, or phytocystatins (PhyCys), comprise a family of plant-specific inhibitors of cysteine proteinases. They are thought to help regulate endogenous processes and protect plants against biotic or abiotic stresses, such as heat, salinity, cold, water deficit, chilling, and abscisic acid (ABA) treatment. We isolated and identified a novel cystatin gene from Malus prunifolia, MpCYS5. Its expression was typically induced by salt stress treatment; ectopic expression in Arabidopsis enhanced salt tolerance. Physiological parameters confirmed this phenotype, with the transgenics having remarkably lower electrolyte leakage (EL) values, higher chlorophyll concentrations, and lower levels of malondialdehyde (MDA) upon salt treatment. In addition, the accumulation of reactive oxygen species was markedly regulated by MpCYS5 under stress conditions, as shown by fluctuations in the concentrations of hydrogen peroxide and superoxide radicals and the activities of antioxidant enzymes. We also noted that this gene modulated tunicamycin (TM)-induced endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress tolerance and functioned in the unfolded protein response (UPR)-signaling pathway in Arabidopsis. This was confirmed by the expression of eight ER stress-responsive genes. All marker genes examined were strongly induced in the wild type, while most of them maintained relatively stable over time in the transgenics. These results demonstrated that ectopic expression of a cystatin gene is associated with salt-tolerant and TM-tolerant phenotypes. Therefore, the discovery of MpCYS5 from M. prunifolia might establish a molecular link between the ER stress response and salt tolerance in plants. 相似文献

Podosphaera leucotricha is the causal agent of powdery mildew (PM) in apple. To reduce the amount of fungicides required to control this pathogen, the development of resistant apple cultivars should become a priority. Resistance to PM was achieved in various crops by knocking out specific members of the MLO gene family that are responsible for PM susceptibility (S-genes). In apple, the knockdown of MdMLO19 resulted in PM resistance. However, since gene silencing technologies such as RNAi are perceived unfavorably in Europe, a different approach that exploits this type of resistance is needed. This work evaluates the presence of non-functional naturally occurring alleles of MdMLO19 in apple germplasm. The screening of the re-sequencing data of 63 apple individuals led to the identification of 627 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in five MLO genes (MdMLO5, MdMLO7, MdMLO11, MdMLO18, and MdMLO19), 127 of which were located in exons. The T-1201 insertion of a single nucleotide in MdMLO19 caused the formation of an early stop codon, resulting in a truncated protein lacking 185 amino acids, including the calmodulin-binding domain. The presence of the insertion was evaluated in 115 individuals. It was heterozygous in 64 and homozygous in 25. Twelve of the 25 individuals carrying the insertion in homozygosity were susceptible to PM. After barley, pea, cucumber, and tomato, apple would be the fifth species for which a natural non-functional mlo allele has been found. 相似文献

Background
Salmonella enterica serovar Typhi and Typhimurium are closely related serovars as indicated by >96% DNA sequence identity between shared genes. Nevertheless, S. Typhi is a strictly human-specific pathogen causing a systemic disease, typhoid fever. In contrast, S. Typhimurium is a broad host range pathogen causing only a self-limited gastroenteritis in immunocompetent humans. We hypothesize that these differences have arisen because some genes are unique to each serovar either gained by horizontal gene transfer or by the loss of gene activity due to mutation, such as pseudogenes. S. Typhi has 5% of genes as pseudogenes, much more than S. Typhimurium which contains 1%. As a consequence, S. Typhi lacks several protein effectors implicated in invasion, proliferation and/or translocation by the type III secretion system that are fully functional proteins in S. Typhimurium. SseJ, one of these effectors, corresponds to an acyltransferase/lipase that participates in SCV biogenesis in human epithelial cell lines and is needed for full virulence of S. Typhimurium. In S. Typhi, sseJ is a pseudogene. Therefore, we suggest that sseJ inactivation in S. Typhi has an important role in the development of the systemic infection. 相似文献18.

Background
Plant microRNAs (miRNAs) are a class of small, non-coding RNAs that play an important role in development and environmental responses. Hundreds of plant miRNAs have been identified to date, mainly from the model species for which there are available genome sequences. The current challenge is to characterise miRNAs from plant species with agricultural and horticultural importance, to aid our understanding of important regulatory mechanisms in crop species and enable improvement of crops and rootstocks. 相似文献19.

Selectable marker genes are widely used for the efficient transformation of crop plants. In most cases, antibiotic or herbicide
resistance marker genes are preferred because they tend to be most efficient. Due mainly to consumer and grower concerns,
considerable effort is being put into developing strategies (site-specific recombination, homologous recombination, transposition,
and cotransformation) to eliminate the marker gene from the nuclear or chloroplast genome after selection. For the commercialization
of genetically transformed plants, use of a completely marker-free technology would be desirable, since there would be no
involvement of antibiotic resistance genes or other marker genes with negative connotations for the public. With this goal
in mind, a technique for apple transformation was developed without use of any selectable marker. Transformation of the apple
genotype “M.26” with the constructs pPin2Att35SGUSintron and pPin2MpNPR1 was achieved. In different experiments, 22.0–25.4% of regenerants showed integration of the gene of interest. Southern analysis
in some transformed lines confirmed the integration of one copy of the gene. Some of these transformed lines have been propagated
and used to determine the uniformity of transformed tissues in the plantlets. The majority of the lines are uniformly transformed
plants, although some lines are chimeric, as also occurs with the conventional transformation procedure using a selectable
marker gene. A second genotype of apple, “Galaxy,” was also transformed with the same constructs, with a transformation efficiency
of 13%. 相似文献
