中间偃麦草(Thinopyrum intermedium)18S-5.8S-26S rDNA位点在染色体上的分布及对其核ITS序列异质性的分析(英文)

中间偃麦草(Thinopyrum intermedium(Host)Barkworth et Dewey)是禾本科小麦族植物中的一个异源六倍体物种,是重要的牧草植物,在小麦的抗病育种中发挥了重要作用。利用荧光原位杂交(FISH)技术,在体细胞中期染色体上,对18S-5.8S-26S rDNA位点进行了物理定位,发现该物种有3～4对染色体携带18S-5.8S-26S rDNA主位点。结合基因组原位杂交(GISH)分析,证明中间偃麦草的St基因组中有一对同源染色体短臂末端携带一个主位点,其余2～3对主位点位于E基因组染色体上。对不同来源的材料研究表明:18S-5.8S-26S rDNA位点的数目(包括主位点和小位点)、位置、拷贝数在不同收集材料之间的差异较大,甚至在同一个体的不同细胞中也存在差异。讨论了rDNA物理作图数据在分析系统发育问题中的局限性。结合中间偃麦草的三个可能的二倍体基因组供体(Th.bessarabicum、Th. elongatum和Pseudoroegneria stipifolia)rDNA位点分析的结果,对中间偃麦草进化过程中rDNA位点的变化进行了分析,同时,对其中一份材料的核ITS序列进行了克隆、测序和系统发育分析,发现在中间偃麦草中,ITS序列具有很高的异质性。

Chromosomal Distribution of the 18S-5.8S-26S rDNA Loci and Heterogeneity of Nuclear ITS Regions in Thinopyrum intermedium (Poaceae: Triticeae)

Fluorescent in situ hybridization (FISH) was used to investigate the chromosomal location of 18S-5.8S-26S rDNA loci in Thinopyrum intermedium (Host) Barkworth et Dewey (2n=6x=42). In all accessions and individuals studied, 3 or 4 pairs of major loci were detected. Subsequent genomic in situ hybridization (GISH) analyses revealed that one pair was located on the ends of the short arms of one pair of homologous chromosomes of the St genome, while the other 2 or 3 pairs of major loci were located in the E genomes (including the E~e and E~b). It is suggested that 2 to 3 pairs of major loci were probably lost during the evolution of this hexaploid species. The variation in rDNA positions and copy numbers between the diploid donors and Th. intermedium, as well as the diversity among the accessions of Th. intermedium confirmed that the rDNA gene family conveyed the characters of DNA mobile elements. The internal transcribed spacer (ITS) regions of the rDNA in Th. intermedium were also investigated. Sequence data of seven positive clones from one individual suggested high degree of individual heterogeneity exists among ITS repeats. Phylogenetic analyses showed that there were two distinct types of ITS sequences in Th. intermedium, one with homology to that of Pseudoroegneria species (St genome) and the other to that of the E genome diploid species. This showed that the ITS paralogues in Th. intermedium have not been uniformly homogenized by concerted evolution. The limitation of using the chromosomal location of rDNA loci for phylogenetic analysis is discussed.
