采用RAPD和ISSR标记探讨中国疣粒野生稻的遗传多样性

Random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) and inter-simple sequence repeat (ISSR) methods were applied to detect genetic variation of 20 bulking samples and two individually sampled populations of Oryza granulata (Nees et Arn. ex Watt.) from China (M5 from Hainan Province and M27 from Yunnan Province). For the bulking sampled populations, 20 RAPD and 12 ISSR primers generated 209 and 122 bands, of which 134 (64.11%) and 89 (72.95%) were polymorphic respectively. For population M5, 146 and 95 bands were generated with 21.48% and 34.78% being polymorphic (PPB). For population M27, 151 (PPB = 17.22%) and 94 (PPB = 19.15%) bands of RAPD and ISSR were obtained. The results indicated that the level of genetic variation of O． granulata was lower than other species detected in the genus Oryza. UPGMA cluster based on genetic similarity and principle component analyses (PCA) based on band patterns divided the populations into two groups corresponding to their sources, which revealed that the majority of genetic variation of O. granulata occurred between Hainan and Yunnan. Consequently, more populations of the species should be considered for a reasonable conservation management. Comparison between the two marker systems showed that ISSR was better than RAPD in terms of reproducibility and ability of detecting genetic polymorphism. Mantel test revealed that the goodness of fit between them was significant (r=0.917, t=12.718) when detecting genetic diversity at species level, but was poor at population level (r<0.200). The discrepancy was considered as the facts that different fragments were targeted by RAPD and ISSR, and that evolutionary process of O. granulata varied at different hierarchical levels.

利用ISSR分子标记技术,对湖北省三峡库区内中华蚊母的4个自然居群和1个迁地居群的遗传多样性和遗传结构进行了分析.结果表明,中华蚊母具有较高水平的遗传多样性,8个引物共得到47条带,其中多态性条带为44,多态性条带百分率(PPF)为94%;每个位点的等位基因数(A)为2,有效等位基因数(Ae)为1.37;总遗传多样性Nei s基因多样性指数(Hp)为0.237 9,Shannon信息多样性指数(I)为0.386 8,高于地方特有种平均水平.5个居群总的遗传变异Ht为0.238 7,居群内的遗传变异Hs为0.212 9,居群间的遗传分化系数Gst为0.108 0,表明在总的遗传变异中有89.2%的变异存在于居群内,仅10.80%存在于居群间;居群间的基因流Nm为4.130 6,表明居群间有较大程度的基因交流.UPGMA聚类分析和主成分分析显示中华蚊母在湖北境内主要分为两个居群组,在湖北境内的长江三峡沿岸沿渡河、香溪、乐天溪及三峡植物园居群聚为一大类,离长江沿岸较远的高家堰聚为另一大类.迁地保护居群三峡植物园的遗传多样性水平略高于中华蚊母自然居群的遗传多样性,说明三峡植物园对中华蚊母遗传多样性的迁地保护策略是基本成功的.     

ISSR variation in the endemic and endangered plant Cycas guizhouensis (Cycadaceae)

BACKGROUND AND AIMS: Cycas guizhouensis (Cycadaceae) is a rare and endangered species endemic to the southwest of China. An investigation was undertaken into the genetic variation of wild populations. METHODS: ISSR markers were used to determine the genetic variation within and between 12 extant populations of this species. KEY RESULTS: Low genetic diversity (at population level, P = 14.21 %, H(E) = 0.0597; at species level, P = 35.90 %, H(T) = 0.1082) and a high degree of differentiation among populations (G(ST) = 0.4321) were detected. CONCLUSIONS: This genetic structure is considered to be due to the combined effects of slow biochemical evolution, genetic drift, inbreeding and limited gene flow between populations. Based on these findings, strategies are proposed for the genetic conservation and management of the species.

湖北河岸带植物中华蚊母树遗传多样性的SRAP分析

利用SRAP分子标记技术,对湖北省河岸带植物中华蚊母树的4个自然居群和1个迁地居群的遗传多样性和遗传结构进行了分析。结果表明,中华蚊母树物种具有较高水平的遗传多样性,7对SRAP引物进行PCR扩增的多态性位点百分率(PPF)为80.43%,每个位点的等位基因数(A)为2,有效等位基因数(Ae)为1.34,总遗传多样性Nei’s基因多样性指数(Hp)为0.215 9,Shannon信息多样性指数(I)为0.350 9。在居群水平上,5个居群总的遗传变异Ht为0.218 8,居群内的遗传变异Hs为0.193 4,居群间的遗传分化系数Gst为0.116 1,表明在总的遗传变异中有88.39%变异存在于居群内,仅11.61%存在于居群间,居群间的基因流Nm为3.807 2,表明居群间有较大程度的基因交流。UPGMA聚类分析和主成分分析显示中华蚊母树主要分为两个居群组,在长江三峡沿岸香溪和乐天溪由于遗传距离比较近聚为一小类再与高家堰聚为一大类,而沿渡河和三峡植物园居群聚为另一大类,表明迁地居群三峡植物园的中华蚊母树与来自巴东沿渡河居群的样本亲缘关系最近,且三峡植物园迁地保护居群基本保育了其遗传多样性总水平。同时在分析讨论了中华蚊母树遗传多样性与其繁育系统、生境及其起源进化的关系的基础上,评价了中华蚊母树的保护策略,并在评价保护成果的基础上,提出了今后进一步保育的策略。结果还表明SRAP标记是分析中华蚊母树遗传多样性和遗传结构非常可靠的一种标记,而且这是使用SRAP标记研究中华蚊母树的首次报道。     

山东实生板栗居群遗传多样性ISSR分析

采用ISSR分子标记技术对山东省内的10个板栗居群共279个个体的遗传多样性水平及居群遗传结构进行了研究。10个引物共检测到116个位点,其中101个位点为多态位点,占87.07%。POPGENE分析结果表明:板栗具有丰富的遗传变异(在物种水平上,He=0.2697,H0=0.3999;在居群水平上,PPL=64.58,He=0.2004,H0=0.3010)。Neis遗传多样性分析和AMOVA分析表明,各居群间产生了一定程度的遗传分化(GST=0.2414,FST=0.2224)。居群间一定程度的遗传分化可能是由于生境破坏和基因流的障碍(Nm=0.8743)引起。UPGMA聚类分析可知,临沭、莒南、郯城和费县4个居群优先聚成一支,而莱阳居群单独聚为一支。     

Genetic diversity of wild Cymbidium goeringii (Orchidaceae) populations from Hubei based on Inter-simple sequence repeats analysis

Cymbidium goeringii is a diploid and nonrewarding,bumblebee-pollinated species,which is distributed in China,Japan and Korea Peninsula.This species is now highly endangered due to the mass collection and forest clearance in China.In the present study,we investigated the distribution of genetic variation within and between eleven populations of Cymbidium goeringii in central China by using Inter-simple sequence repeats (ISSR) markers.Eleven primers produced a total of 127 clear and reproducible bands of which 112 were polymorphic.High genetic diversity was detected in Cymbidium goeringii for both population level (P = 63.1%;He = 0.194 5) and species level (P = 88.2%;He = 0.262 8).A higher level of genetic differentiation was detected among populations (GST = 0.244 0,FST = 0.220 7)with Nei's Gsr analysis and analysis of molecular variance (AMOVA),and no correlation was found between geographical and genetic distance.Genetic drift rather than gene flow played an important role in forming the present population structure of Cymbidium goeringii.Limited gene flow among populations and gene drift increase the extinction risk of local populations.Some conservation concerns are therefore discussed together with possible strategies for implementing in situ and ex situ conservation.     

Reproductive biology and genetic diversity of a cryptoviviparous mangrove aegiceras corniculatum (Myrsinaceae) using allozyme and intersimple sequence repeat (ISSR) analysis

Mangroves consist of a group of taxonomically diverse species representing about 20 families of angiosperms. However, little is known about their reproductive biology, genetic structure, and the ecological and genetic factors affecting this structure. Comparative studies of various mangrove species are needed to fill such gaps in our knowledge. The pollination biology, outcrossing rate, and genetic diversity of Aegiceras corniculatum were investigated in this study. Pollination experiments suggested that the species is predominantly pollinator-dependent in fruit setting. A quantitative analysis of the mating system was performed using progeny arrays assayed for intersimple sequence repeat (ISSR) markers. The multilocus outcrossing rate (tm) was estimated to be 0.653 in a wild population. Both allozyme and ISSR were used to investigate genetic variation within and among populations. The combined effects of founder events and enhanced local gene flow through seedling dispersal by ocean currents apparently played an important role in shaping the population genetic structure in this mangrove species. Both allozyme variation (P = 4.76%, A = 1.05, HE = 0.024) and ISSR diversity (P = 16.18%, A = 1.061, HE = 0.039) were very low at the species level, in comparison with other woody plants with mixed-mating or outcrossing systems. Gene differentiation among populations was also low: allozyme GST = 0.106 and ISSR GST = 0.178. The unusually high genetic identities (0.997 for allozyme and 0.992 for ISSR loci), however, suggest that these populations are probably all descended from a common ancestral population with low polymorphism.     

Molecular analyses of genetic variability in the populations of Bergenia ciliata in Indian Himalayan Region (IHR)

Bergenia ciliata is an important medicinal plant species of Indian Himalayan Region (IHR). Genetic variability and population genetic structure of B. ciliata sampled from IHR was studied using two single primer amplification reaction (SPAR) methods (DAMD: Directed Amplification of Minisatellite region DNA; ISSR: Inter Simple Sequence Repeats). To provide a reasonable scientific basis for management and conservation of B. ciliata populations in IHR, genetic diversity analysis of 11 populations with 24 SPAR markers (15 ISSR and 9 DAMD) revealed significantly high level of (90.03%) polymorphism at species level. However, genetic variability was low at population level and KUL and BWS populations showed maximum while SHM population revealed least genetic diversity among the 11 populations. Analysis of molecular variance revealed highest percentage of variation (73%) within populations, followed by 17% among populations and least (10%) among the Himalayan regions. Clustering pattern obtained from UPGMA dendrogram was supported by STRUCTURE and principal coordinate analysis, segregating all the 11 natural populations of B. ciliata into two genetic clusters: Eastern and Western Himalayan populations. The clustering patterns of all the three statistical methods indicated that populations of B. ciliata have structured in response to the local micro-climates of the habitats in IHR, and therefore, it can be concluded that genetic variability is in congruence with the geographical diversity.     

A study of conservation genetics in Cupressus chengiana, an endangered endemic of China, using ISSR markers

ISSR markers were used to analyze the genetic diversity and genetic structure of eight natural populations of Cupressus chengiana in China. ISSR analysis using 10 primers was carried out on 92 different samples. At the species level, 136 polymorphic loci were detected. The percentage of polymorphic bands (PPB) was 99%. Genetic diversity (He) was 0.3120, effective number of alleles (Ae) was 1.5236, and Shannon's information index (I) was 0.4740. At the population level, PPB = 48%, Ae = 1.2774, He = 0.1631, and I = 0.2452. Genetic differentiation (Gst) detected by Nei's genetic diversity analysis suggested 48% occurred among populations. The partitioning of molecular variance by AMOVA analysis indicated significant genetic differentiation within populations (54%) and among populations (46%; P < 0.0003). The average number of individuals exchanged between populations per generation (Nm) was 0.5436. Samples from the same population clustered in the same population-specific cluster, and two groups of Sichuan and Gansu populations were distinguishable. A significantly positive correlation between genetic and geographic distance was detected (r = 0.6701). Human impacts were considered one of the main factors to cause the rarity of C. chengiana, and conservation strategies are suggested based on the genetic characters and field investigation, e.g., protection of wild populations, reestablishment of germplasm bank, and reintroduction of more genetic diversity.     

AFLP and ISSR analysis reveals high genetic variation and inter-population differentiation in fragmented populations of the endangered Litsea szemaois (Lauraceae) from Southwest China

Litsea szemaois (Lauraceae) is an endemic and endangered species from the tropical rain forests of Xishuangbanna, southern Yunnan, SW China, but habitat fragmentation, especially exacerbated by rubber planting, has caused a decline in population size of the species. AFLP and ISSR were used to investigate the genetic diversity and population structure of eight populations from across its known distribution. Three AFLP and ten ISSR primer combinations produced a total of 203 and 77 unambiguous and repeatable bands respectively, of which 164 (80.8%) and 67 (87.0%) were polymorphic for the two markers. These two markers showed that Litsea szemaois exhibits comparatively high genetic diversity at species level (heterozygosity (hs) = 0.2109) relative to some other Lauraceae. Most of the genetic variation was partitioned within populations, but genetic differentiation between populations was significant and relatively high (Φ _st = 0.2420, θ^B = 0.1986) compared with other tropical plants. The genetic characteristics of L. szemaois may be related to its outbreeding system, insect pollination and fragmented distribution. Because L. szemaois is dioecious and slow to mature, ex situ conservation across its genetic diversity is unlikely to succeed, although seedlings grow well under cultivation. Thus, in situ conservation is very important for this endangered species, especially as only 133 adult individuals are known in the wild. In particular, the Nabanhe and Mandian populations should be given a high conservation priority due to their higher genetic diversity, larger population size and better field condition, but wider sampling is required across all populations to determine additional areas with significant genetic conservation value.     

多叶重楼遗传多样性的ISSR分析

采用ISSR分子标记对多叶重楼种下3个变种的8个居群共208份样品的遗传多样性进行了分析。l4条引物共检测到251个清晰的扩增位点,其中多态位点235个。在物种水平上,多态位点百分率(PPB)达93.63%,Nei′s基因多样性指数(HE)为0.2204、Shannon′s信息指数(HO)为0.3532。在居群水平上,多态位点百分率(PPB)为50.45%,Nei′s基因多样性指数(HE)为0.1405,Shannon′s信息指数(HO)为0.2194,这些均表明多叶重楼的遗传多样性水平较高。此外,还用NTSYS软件对样品进行了UPGMA聚类分析,结果显示滇重楼的6个居群聚为一支,滇重楼与狭叶重楼有较近的亲缘关系,而与长药隔重楼之间的遗传分化较大。本研究提出了合理保护重楼植物资源的若干措施,为进一步开展滇重楼优质种质引种驯化,实现种质资源多样性的合理保护和可持续利用提供参考。     

湖北野生春兰资源遗传多样性的ISSR分析

近年来,由于过度采挖和生境片断化,湖北野生春兰(Cymbidiumgoeringii)资源正面临着灭绝的危险。本文采用ISSR分子标记技术对湖北省内的11个春兰野生居群共325个个体的遗传多样性水平及居群遗传结构进行了研究。11个引物共检测到127个位点,其中112个为多态位点,占88.19%。POPGENE分析结果表明:与其他兰科植物相比,春兰具有丰富的遗传变异(在物种水平上,He=0.2628,Ho=0.4037;在居群水平上,PPL=63.06%,He=0.1945,Ho=0.2958)。Nei's遗传多样性分析和AMOVA分析表明,各居群间产生了一定程度的遗传分化(GST=0.2440,FST=0.2207)。居群间一定程度的遗传分化可能是由生境破坏和基因流障碍(Nm=0.8828)引起。UPGMA聚类分析可知,与其他居群相比,恩施地区的5个居群,即巴东(BD)、福宝山(FBS)、宣恩(XE)、毛坝(MB)、来凤(LF)优先聚成一支,而大悟(DW)居群单独聚为一支。同时本研究也表明,虽然春兰自交亲和,但在自然界中其繁育系统还是以异交为主。鉴于春兰资源的遗传多样性现状和其相应的居群遗传结构,我们建议在遗传多样性较高的来凤(LF)、京山(JS)、大悟(DW)居群设立保护点进行就地保护;而对资源破坏最为严重的毛坝(MB)和宣恩(XE)居群要实行迁地保护。     

Genetic diversity of endangered Manglietia patungensis assessed by inter simple sequence repeat and sequence-related amplified polymorphism markers

Manglietia patungensis Hu is an endangered plant native to China. Knowledge of its genetic diversity and structure would aid its conservation. This study assessed nine natural populations of M. patungensis using two methods: inter simple sequence repeat (ISSR) and sequence-related amplified polymorphism (SRAP) markers. Using 10 ISSR primer pairs, 334 bands were generated, and 10 SRAP primer pairs generated 276 bands. The percent of polymorphic bands (91.32% and 93.48%), Nei's genetic diversity (0.3448 and 0.3323), and Shannon's information index (0.5075 and 0.4935) revealed a high level of genetic diversity at the species level. Total heterozygosity was 0.3439 by ISSR and 0.3281 by SRAP. The mean heterozygosity was 0.2323 by ISSR and 0.2521 by SRAP. The coefficient of genetic differentiation among natural populations was 0.3245 by ISSR and 0.2316 by SRAP. These data indicated higher levels of genetic diversity of M. patungensis within, rather than among, populations. Estimates of gene flow among natural populations were 1.0411 and 1.0589, which implied a certain amount of gene exchange among populations. A Mantel test revealed no significant correlation between genetic and geographic distance. ISSR and SRAP markers are both effective for genetic diversity research in M. Patungensis. Based on these results, conservation of M. patungensis should be performed both in situ and ex situ.     

滇牡丹遗传多样性的ISSR分析

应用ISSR标记对中国西南地区特有植物滇牡丹(Paeonia delavayi)的遗传多样性进行了研究。从100个引物中筛选出10个用于正式扩增,在取自16个自然居群和1个迁地保护居群的511个个体中,检测到92个多态位点。在居群水平上,多态位点百分率（PPB）为44.61%,Nei′s基因多样性指数（H）和Shannon信息指数（I）分别为0.1657和0.2448。在物种水平上,多态位点百分率（PPB）为79.31%,Nei′s基因多样性指数（H）和Shannon信息指数（I）分别为0.2947和0.4355。居群间的遗传分化系数(G_ST)达0.4349。结果表明：滇牡丹遗传多样性水平较高,居群间遗传分化较大。结合以前的研究结果,对滇牡丹的现状进行评估的结果显示,滇牡丹并不濒危。     

喜马拉雅-横断山区钟花报春居群遗传多样性及遗传分化

应用简单序列重复区间(ISSR,Inter-simple sequence repeat)分子标记,对喜马拉雅．横断山区钟花报春(Primula sikkimensis)进行居群遗传分析。用10个ISSR引物对13个居群的254个个体进行扩增,共检出91条扩增片段,全部为多态带,总的多态位点百分率为100％。Shannon多样性指数(Ho)从0．2293到0．4016,居群水平上平均值(HPCP)为0．3211,物种水平上(Hsp)为0．5576。利用分子方差(AMOVA)软件分析,其结果为：在总的遗传变异中,有50．28％的遗传变异属于居群之间;用POPGENE计算出的遗传分化系数GST=0．4127,即居群间的分化变异占居群总遗传变异的41．27％,比AMOVA分析所得的结果偏低。居群间遗传距离变化范围从0．0780到0．4748,遗传一致度(I)的变化范围从0．6220到0．9250。居群间的基因流Nm=0．7114,相对低的基因流可能是维持钟花报春居群遗传分化的原因。这表明,喜马拉雅．横断山区钟花报春的13个居群具有很高的遗传多样性,并且居群间的分化也很大。     

Population genetic diversity and divergence of the halobiotic herb Limonium sinense estimated by AFLP and ISSR, and implications for conservation

Limonium sinense is a halobiotic herb endemic to China that has been traditionally used for hundreds of years for its good restorative function. Genetic variation and population structure of this species were investigated by using amplified fragment length polymorphisms (AFLPs) and inter simple sequence repeats (ISSRs). A high level of genetic diversity was detected [AFLP: H _E = 0.284, percentage of polymorphic loci (PPL) = 92.68 %; ISSR: H _E = 0.257, PPL = 85.71 %] at the species level with POPGENE. Based on analysis of molecular variation (AMOVA), the among-population component accounted for 29.03 % (AFLP) and 28.81 % (ISSR) of the genetic variation, indicating that most of the genetic variation was between individuals within populations. The Shannon diversity index (I) was higher for AFLP (0.432) than for ISSR (0.395). Five main clusters were shown in the unweighted pair-group method with arithmetic mean (UPGMA) dendrogram created using TFPGA, consistent with the result of principal coordinate analysis using NTSYS. In situ conservation is advocated first. Keeping a stable environment for this halobiotic herb is necessary. For ex situ conservation, it is important to establish a germplasm bank. AFLP and ISSR markers were proved to be efficient tools in assessing the genetic variation among populations of L. sinense. The patterns of variation appeared to be consistent for these two marker systems, and they can be used for management of genetic structure, protection of the halobiotic plant, and conservation of germplasm.     

Conservation genetics of two island endemic Ribes spp. (Grossulariaceae) of Sardinia: survival or extinction?

Measuring levels of population genetic diversity is an important step for assessing the conservation status of rare or endangered plant species and implementing appropriate conservation strategies. Populations of Ribes multiflorum subsp. sandalioticum and R. sardoum, two endangered endemic species from Sardinia, representing the whole genus on the island, were investigated using ISSR and SSR markers to determine levels and structure of genetic variability in their natural populations. Results indicated medium to low genetic diversity at the population level: Nei's gene diversity for ISSR markers ranged from 0.0840 to 0.1316; the expected heterozygosity (H_E) for SSR ranged from 0.4281 to 0.7012. In addition, only one remnant population of R. sardoum showed a high level of inbreeding, in accordance with its very small size. Regarding the structure of the six R. sandalioticum populations, both principal coordinates analysis (PCoA) and STRUCTURE analysis of ISSR and SSR data highlighted low population structure, although two populations appeared to be clearly distinct from the others. The genetic pattern of the two taxa associated with their different ecological positions indicated resilience of R. sandalioticum populations in fresh and humid habitats and uncertain future resistance for the residual R. sardoum population in xeric calcareous stands. Hence, this study highlights the importance of an integrated conservation approach (genetic plus in situ and ex situ conservation studies/measures) for activating management programmes in these endemic and threatened taxa that can be considered as crop wild relatives of cultivated Ribes species.     

Genetic diversity and structure in fragmented populations of the endangered species Ranunculus cabrerensis (Ranunculaceae): implications for conservation

Ranunculus cabrerensis is an endemic and endangered species of the Northwestern Iberian Peninsula. The molecular markers AFLP and ISSR were used to investigate the genetic diversity and population structure of four populations across its known distribution. Fifteen selective primer combinations of AFLP and seventeen ISSR primer combinations produced a total of 2830 and 103 unambiguously repeatable fragments respectively, of which 97.57 and 81.38% were polymorphic for both markers. The genetic diversity of R. cabrerensis at species level was high (H _E = 0.294 by ISSR and H _E = 0.191 by AFLP) and differentiation between sampled locations was also relatively high (G _ST = 0.316 and 0.158 by ISSR and AFLP analysis respectively) compared to other studies of endangered and rare species using the same techniques. The analysis of molecular variance (AMOVA) indicated that the main genetic variation was within sampled locations (73% by AFLP; 52% by ISSR), even though the variation among locations was also significant. Principal Coordinates, NeighborNet and Bayesian analyses revealed a weak but significant relationship between the genetic structures of different populations in R. cabrerensis, with gene flow acting as a homogenizing force that prevents stronger differentiation of populations. Finally, suggestions for conservation strategies to preserve the genetic resources of this species are outlined.     

永瓣藤的分布现状及其保护

本文从自然环境、分布特征、种群数量和种群繁殖等方面研究了我国珍稀特有植物永瓣藤（Monimopetalum chinense）的分布和保护现状, 并从引种栽培、种子繁殖和无性繁殖等方面总结了近年来对永瓣藤进行迁地保存的初步研究结果, 最后提出了相应的保护建议。
