Identification of RAPD markers linked to a major rust resistance gene block in common bean

Rust in bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.), caused byUromyces appendiculatus (Pers.) Unger var.appendiculatus [ =U. phaseoli (Reben) Wint.], is a major disease problem and production constraint in many parts of the world. The predominant form of genetic control of the pathogen is a series of major genes which necessitate the development of efficient selection strategies. Our objective was focused on the identification of RAPD (random amplified polymorphic DNA) markers linked to a major bean rust resistance gene block enabling marker-based selection and facilitating resistance gene pyramiding into susceptible bean germplasm. Using pooled DNA samples of genotyped individuals from two segregating populations, we identified two RAPD markers linked to the gene block of interest. One such RAPD, OF10₉₇₀ (generated by a 5-GGAAGCTTGG-3 decamer), was found to be closely linked (2.15±1.50 centi Morgans) in coupling with the resistance gene block. The other identified RAPD, OI19₄₆₀ (generated by a 5-AATGCGGGAG-3 decamer), was shown to be more tightly linked (also in coupling) than OF10₉₇₀ as no recombinants were detected among 97 BC₆F₂ segregating individuals in the mapping population. Analysis of a collection of resistant and susceptible cultivars and experimental lines, of both Mesoamerican and Andean origin, revealed that: (1) recombination between OF10₉₇₀ and the gene block has occurred as evidenced by the presence of the DNA fragment in several susceptible genotypes, (2) recombination between OI19₄₆₀ and the gene block has also occurred indicating that the marker is not located within the gene block itself, and (3) marker-facilitated selection using these RAPD markers, and another previously identified, will enable gene pyramiding in Andean germplasm and certain Mesoamerican bean races in which the resistance gene block does not traditionally exist. Observations of variable recombination among Mesoamerican bean races suggested suppression of recombination between introgressed segments and divergent recurrent backgrounds.Research supported by the Michigan Agricultural Research Station and the USDA-ARS.

Optimizing the generation of random amplified polymorphic DNAs in chrysanthemum

Many conditions of the RAPD reaction procedure may influence the result. This paper presents rapid detection of influential factors with a fractional factorial experiment. A more extensive study of these factors is also presented. Polymerase brand, thermal cycler brand, annealing temperature, and primer, are important factors in obtaining good DNA yields and optimal fragment patterns. Each primer has its optimal annealing temperature, and this is not correlated with the GC content of the primer. Optimal species-primer combinations have to be found by trial and error.     

PCR检测HPV－18DNA

采用聚合酶链式反应（ＰＣＲ）技术,对ＨＰＶ－１８序列中引物ＨＰ＿１、ＨＰ＿２之间的片段（Ｆ）进行扩增,通过两组阴、阳性对照实验证明扩增片段的特异性。用不同Ｍｇ浓度的缓冲系统进行ＰＣＲ反应发现,缓冲系统中Ｍｇ浓度高低是影响ＨＰＶ－１８／ＨＰ＿１、ＨＰ＿２特异扩增的重要因素,高浓度Ｍｇ导致扩增特异性降低。对１７例宫颈癌组织ＤＮＡ进行ＰＣＲ检测,有９例检出Ｆ片段,其检出率是５３％,为ＨＰＶ－１８与宫颈癌的相关性提供证据。

Functions of milk protein gene 5′ flanking regions on human growth hormone gene

Fragments containing 5′ flanking regions of four bovine milk protein genes—alpha lactalbumin (bαLA), alpha S₁ casein (bαS₁CN), beta casein (bβCN), kappa casein (b_kCN)—and mouse whey acidic protein (mWAP) gene were prepared by PCR and ligated to human growth hormone (hGH) gene. These recombinant DNAs were microinjected into rat embryos to produce transgenic rats, and the functions of the 5′ regions to direct secretion of hGH in the milk were tested. Although milk was obtained only in 5 of 19 mWAP/hGH rat lines, more than two-thirds of the rats carrying the other four DNAs produced milk. More than 80% of the lactated rats carrying bαLA/, bβCN/, and mWAP/hGH, and 33% of the laclated bαS₁CN/hGH rats secreted detectable amounts of hGH (> 0.05 μg/ml) in the milk. In some rats, the hGH concentrations in the milk were comparable to or more than that of the corresponding milk protein in bovine milk. The ranges of hGH concentrations in the milk of bαLA/, bβCN/, bαS₁CN/, and mWAP/hGH rats were 1.13–4,360 μg/ml, 0.11–10,900 μg/ml, 86.8–6,480 μg/ml, and 6.87–151 μg/ml, respectively. HGH was also detected in the sera of these rats, and some abnormalities of growth and reproduction were observed. All but one virgin mWAP/hGH rat secreted up to 0.0722 μg/ml of hGH in the serum, and more than half of them showed abnormal fat accumulations at their abdomen. None of the bαCN/hGH rats secreted detectable amount of hGH into their milk, whereas 8 of the 11 lines secreted hGH into their sera. For the production of hGH in transgenic rat milk, the 5′ region of bαS₁CN was shown most suitable, because the bαS₁CN/hGH rat secreted > 6,000 μg/ml of hGH into the milk and could be reproduced. © 1994 Wiley-Liss, Inc.
