利用EST-SSR分子标记检测鹅掌楸种间渐渗杂交

引进物种常与本土近缘种间发生杂交而导致基因渐渗,进而影响本地种的遗传系统。鹅掌楸(Liriodendron chinense)为我国濒危树种之一,鹅掌楸种间杂交可配性高,近10年来随着北美鹅掌楸(L.tulipifera)的大量引种及杂交鹅掌楸的繁殖推广,鹅掌楸种间发生基因渐渗的可能性大大增加。本文以5个包含鹅掌楸、北美鹅掌楸、杂交鹅掌楸的人工混交林为实验群体,每个群体包含19–130个成年个体及60–117个自然更新小苗或半同胞子代,利用EST-SSR(simple sequence repeat based on expressed sequence tag)分子标记对各子代群体进行亲本分析,探究鹅掌楸种间自然交配方式以检测鹅掌楸种间渐渗杂交;同时,以亲子群体等位基因频率的回归系数作为渐渗系数,定量分析鹅掌楸属种间基因渐渗。结果表明:在研究的5个鹅掌楸混生群体中,均检测到种间渐渗杂交,且渐渗杂交的方向与效应大小在不同群体间有差异。研究还发现,各树种基因渐渗程度与其种群个体数有关,种群个体数越多,其渐渗能力越强。据此,我们还探讨了鹅掌楸种质资源保护策略。

Detection of interspecific introgressive hybridization in Liriodendron with EST-SSR markers

Gene introgression usually results from spontaneous hybridization among closely related exotic and native species, and thus can significantly impact the genetic structure of native species, especially on en- dangered species. It is believed that no interspecies reproductive barriers exist within Liriodendron spp. The endangered status of Liriodendron chinense in China is compounded by the potential risk of interspecific in- trogressive hybridization resulting from the frequent introduction of L. tulipifera ...
