Isolation, identification and molecular characterization of physiological races of apple powdery mildew (Podosphaera leucotricha)

The development of apple varieties displaying durable resistance against powdery mildew is one of the major aims in apple breeding programmes worldwide. For a reliable judgment of the resistance of different Malus genotypes, an extended knowledge about the virulence of the pathogen is necessary. To prove the existence of physiological races of Podosphaera leucotricha , 31 monoconidial isolates of the obligate biotrophic fungus representing five locations within Europe have been established and maintained over a period of 3–4 years. The isolates were maintained on in vitro shoots of the highly susceptible apple cv. Gibb's Golden Gage. An AFLP-based DNA fingerprinting protocol was developed and, using 54 stably reproducible AFLP markers, a dendrogram revealed genetic variability among different isolates of P. leucotricha . Although the molecular characterization of the isolates showed an overall low level of genetic variability, the high phenotypic diversity among European isolates suggest that sexual reproduction may also be involved in the disease cycle of the pathogen in Europe. Phytopathological tests using detached leaves of a collection of 36 Malus genotypes allowed the differentiation of five selected isolates by their virulence patterns. A high level of diversity in terms of virulence was obtained in P. leucotricha. From the present study, based on apple breeding germplasm, cultivars and Malus species, it can be concluded that physiological races of P. leucotricha do indeed exist in Europe.     

陆地棉对黄萎病抗性的分子标记研究

 利用陆地棉标准系TM-1和常抗棉2个陆地棉品种杂交并自交,获得109个F₂单株及F_2:3家系为作图群体,以SSR、RAPD和SRAP 3种分子标记进行抗黄萎病性状的分子标记筛选。结果从1611对(条)引物中仅筛选到70对(条)多态性引物,获得75个多态性位点并进行标记间的连锁性分析。75个标记构建了一个包括15个连锁群,全长535 cM的陆地棉品种间分子标记遗传连锁图,标记间平均距离为11.15 cM,有27个标记不能进入任何连锁群。连锁群的标记数最少2个,最多6个;长度从1.0 cM到92.7 cM不等。对其F_2:3家系的成株期抗黄萎病性状即平均病情指数的分布进行分析,显示其呈正态分布,进一步说明陆地棉对黄萎病的抗性为数量遗传;单标记分析及复合区间作图,检测出与抗黄萎病性相关的3个QTL,分别位于第3、5、6连锁群上,贡献率分别为14.15%、3.45%和18.78%。另外,对该群体生长过程中黄萎病不同发病高峰期的病情也进行了分析。     

大麦云纹斑病菌对杀菌剂的抗性检测及同工酶谱类型

1993～1994年大麦云纹斑病菌(Rhynchosporium secalis)对杀菌剂多菌灵、三唑醇的抗药性监测表明,该菌对两种杀菌剂的敏感程度发生了变化,并且首次在田间发现了大麦云纹斑病菌的多抗菌株。这类菌株对多菌灵、乙霉威及三唑醇都具有抗药性,且抗性程度很高。与1990～1991年得到的资料相比,随着杀菌剂选择压力的增加,大田群体中三唑醇高抗菌株比例逐年增加。对该菌同工酶分析结果表明,α—酯酶有7种表现型,磷酸葡萄糖变位酶有2种表现型,过氧化氢酶有3种表现型,无论对去甲基抑制剂类(DMI)表现抗性或敏感菌株,无论调节酶还是非调节酶,其酶谱表现型的变异基本相似。这表明大麦云纹斑病菌对DMI类抗药性突变存在于多个菌系的基因型背景群体中,而不是只起源于单一的广泛分布的菌系。     

樟子松松针锈病病原菌——春孢子形态及酯酶同工酶变异

樟子松松针锈病病原菌——鞘锈菌（Ｃｏｌｅｏｓｐｏｒｉｕｍ）的分类历来很乱。传统的分类方法都是依冬孢子形态和冬孢子寄主来进行的。但近年的研究表明１种鞘锈菌的春孢子可以侵染２种或２种以上的冬孢子寄主，所以按冬孢子寄主来划分鞘锈菌的种是不合理的。文中在病害症状观察和春孢子表面形态观察的基础上，首次对樟子松３种不同形态的春孢子的酯酶同工酶进行了分析，从而为鞘锈菌的分子分类学研究奠定了基础。     

猴丰1号新菌株的选育及其酯酶同工酶分析

采用子实体组织分离与系统筛选法,从福建猴头的变异株中选育出了定名为“猴丰1号”的新菌株。该菌株菌丝体生长势强,发菌迅速;子实休菇形大,产量高。鲜菇产量比出发株福建猴头增加69.3％,比著名的常山99菌株增加16.8％。酯酶同工酶分析显示:猴丰1号的酯酶谱型与福建猴头相似,但有1条酶带发生了变异。由此说明,它确是源于福建猴头的自然变异株。     

Prediction of response to marker-assisted and genomic selection using selection index theory

Selection index methods can be used for deterministic assessment of the potential benefit of including marker information in genetic improvement programmes using marker-assisted selection (MAS). By specifying estimates of breeding values derived from marker information (M-EBV) as a correlated trait with heritability equal to 1, it was demonstrated that marker information can be incorporated in standard software for selection index predictions of response and rates of inbreeding, which requires specifying phenotypic traits and their genetic parameters. Path coefficient methods were used to derive genetic and phenotypic correlations between M-EBV and the phenotypic data. Methods were extended to multi-trait selection and to the case when M-EBV are based on high-density marker genotype data, as in genomic selection. Methods were applied to several example scenarios, which confirmed previous results that MAS substantially increases response to selection but also demonstrated that MAS can result in substantial reductions in the rates of inbreeding. Although further validation by stochastic simulation is required, the developed methodology provides an easy means of deterministically evaluating the potential benefits of MAS and to optimize selection strategies with availability of marker data.

EAV/DNA指纹图谱条带J与OPAY02型标记对新扬州鸡体质量和生长影响的联合研究

随机选择新扬州鸡大型系和小型系交后代48只，联合研究EAV／DNA指纹图谱带J与OPAY02型2种分子遗传标记与新扬州鸡体质量和生长的关系，结果表明，8、10、26周龄新扬州鸡体质量在2种分子标记的不同组合间比较均存在极显著的差异，尤其是J^-S1^-S2^＋产条带组合遗传标记，8、10、26周龄新扬州鸡体质量均显著或极显著地高于其他JS1S2组合，根据数量性状多基因假说，可以推测J、S1和S2可能是影响鸡增重的多基因，2种分子遗传标记组合J^-S1^-S2^＋遗传标记有望成为鸡体质量选择的遗传标记。
