Estimation of the degree of self-fertilization in Porphyra yezoensis (Bangiales,Rhodophyta)

Crosses between genotypically distinct thalli of the monoecious species Porphyra yezoensis were carried out using immature thallus fragments from green- and red-type color mutants and also wild-type thalli. As the genes governing the mutants are monogenic, recessive to the wild-type, and belong to the same linkage group, the degree of self-fertilization could be estimated based on the pigmentation of the resultant diploid conchocelis. The degree of self-fertilization in the cross between the green-type and the wild-type was 48.5–55.0%, and in the cross between the red-type and the wild-type was 45.1–56.5%. In the cross between the green- and red-type mutants, the degree of self-fertilization was 46.0–54.5% when the green-type was the female parent, and was 44.8–55.6% when the red-type was the female parent.

Analysis of genetic diversity in the endangered Hucho taimen from China

Hucho taimen are listed as endangered in China. The population size has declined recently, prompting an increase in the level of listing from grade three in 2002 to grade five in 2006. We analyzed the genetic diversity of wild populations using 17 microsatellite markers to establish a scientific basis for conservation of this species. We collected tissue samples from four populations in the Heilongjiang River basin: Huma River (HM), Hutou (HT), Haiqing (HQ), and Zhuaji (ZJ). A total of 21 loci were amplified, 18 of which were polymorphic. The number of alleles per locus ranged from 2 to 9 (mean: 4.1905). There were 13 highly polymorphic loci and 5 moderately polymorphic loci. Analysis of five genetic diversity parameters (Na, Ne, Ho, He, and PIC) suggested moderate levels of diversity within the populations. The populations were ranked HT > HQ > ZJ > HM, but the differences in diversity were not statistically significant (P > 0.05). A comparison of variation among all four populations suggested Hardy–Weinberg disequilibrium at 20% of the loci. Genetic differentiation (Fst) was 0.0644 and the gene flow among populations was estimated at 3.36 individuals per generation. The majority of diversity (93.88%) occurred among individuals within a population. In contrast, relatively little (6.12%) of the genetic diversity was distributed between the populations. An analysis of genetic differentiation and genetic distance between pairs of populations revealed that both parameters were higher in comparisons of the HM population to the HT, HQ, and ZJ populations than among the three latter populations. This suggests that the HM population has a distinct genetic structure. We hypothesize that habitat degradation and excessive fishing, not low genetic diversity, has caused the decline in H. taimen populations. However, this species should be protected from further declines in genetic diversity.

赤眼蜂分子鉴定研究进展

赤眼蜂是害虫生物防治中的重要天敌资源。该属种类繁多,已报道有200余种,其蜂种的正确鉴定与选择是影响其田间防效的重要因素。依赖雄成蜂外生殖器形态特征的传统赤眼蜂分类鉴定技术不仅对专业技术要求高、耗时费力,而且无法用于孤雌产雌品系的种类鉴定以及近缘种的区分。分子鉴定技术可以通过选择合适的分子标记,为赤眼蜂鉴定提供准确、便捷、高效的方法。本文对赤眼蜂分子鉴定中分子标记的选择及常用分子鉴定方法进行了综述,并提出了未来可能的发展方向。     

家蚕光泽小眼(varnished eye)突变基因的精细定位

家蚕(Bombyx mori)光泽小眼(varnished eye,ve)突变体是家蚕突变品种中少数关于家蚕复眼形态异常的自然隐性突变品种之一,表现为成虫复眼小,表面富有光泽,有瘤状突起;小眼数量少且不规则。经典遗传学连锁图谱将ve基因定位在第6连锁群32.2座位,但到目前为止,该突变性状的形成机理仍不清楚。文章以突变品种ve和对照品种Dz为亲本,杂交产生的F1代雄个体与轮回亲本ve雌个体回交产生的BC1代为材料进行ve基因的精细定位。通过对ve低密度连锁图谱分析发现,ve基因被定位在SNP3~SNP6之间,物理图谱距离大约为1.2 Mb。利用1563个BC1代个体构建ve高密度连锁图谱,最终将ve基因定位在SNP5~SNP61之间,物理图谱距离大约为221.8 kb。通过家蚕基因数据库对ve最终定位区域内进行预测基因检索,发现有6个预测基因。对6个预测基因进行生物信息学分析和测序,这些候选基因都有可能参与家蚕复眼形成,但在编码区没有发现ve特异的突变位点;对这些候选基因进行表达分析,发现编号为BGIBMGA013642的候选基因在ve复眼形成过程中的表达量明显比正常对照Dz低,推测该基因为最佳候选基因。     

前列腺癌患者组织中RPL6的表达及临床意义

目的:探讨前列腺癌患者组织中核糖体蛋白L6(RPL6)表达,分析其对肿瘤恶性程度的评估作用。方法:收集2013年12月-2015年12月在本院接受治疗的前列腺疾病患者117例,根据病理结果分为前列腺炎组63例、前列腺癌组54例;另取同期进行健康体检的健康者80例作为正常对照组。采用Western-blot法检测三组研究对象的前列腺组织RPL6表达,采用酶联免疫吸附法(ELISA)测定血清肿瘤标志物含量,采用RT-PCR法检测前列腺组织增殖基因、侵袭基因mRNA表达,采用Pearson检验分析RPL6表达量与肿瘤恶性程度的相关关系。结果:前列腺癌组患者的前列腺组织RPL6表达量高于前列腺炎组及正常对照组(P0.05);前列腺癌组患者的血清前列腺特异性抗原(PSA)、前列腺特异性酸性磷酶(PSAP)、尿激酶型纤溶酶原激活剂(u PA)、硫氧还蛋白(TRX)含量高于前列腺炎组及正常对照组(P0.05);前列腺癌组患者的前列腺组织增殖基因URG11、PTEN mRNA表达量高于前列腺炎组及正常对照组,PRDM5 mRNA表达量低于前列腺炎组及正常对照组,侵袭基因IgGHG1、TMPRSS2-ER、PIK3C2B mRNA表达量高于前列腺炎组及正常对照组(P0.05)。前列腺癌患者的组织RPL6表达量与肿瘤标志物含量、增殖及侵袭基因活性均呈直接相关关系(P0.05)。结论:高表达的RPL6是前列腺癌早期诊断的可靠指标,且与肿瘤恶性程度直接相关,有望成为前列腺癌辅助诊断及预后评估的重要手段。
