苹果杂交后代植株果实着色性状的遗传分析和预测

苹果着色问题是影响我国许多产区苹果质量的重要因素,本研究利用苹果着色相关基因MdMYB1（GenBank登录号：DQ886414）设计引物进行PCR扩增,开发出一个酶切位点为HaeⅢ的CAPS标记Mb2,该标记可用于区分杂交亲本‘富士’和‘嘎拉’苹果及分析其杂交后代植株。进一步利用Mb2标记对该杂交组合的后代植株进行遗传分析,结果表明,可将77个后代植株分为2组,一组42个后代植株含有来自‘嘎拉’亲本的非红色性状等位基因以及来自‘富士’亲本的非红色性状等位基因或者红色性状等位基因,其果实颜色预测为非红色与红色或者非红色与桔红色;另一组35个后代植株含有来自‘嘎拉’亲本的红色性状等位基因以及来自‘富士’亲本的非红色性状等位基因或者红色性状等位基因,其果实颜色预测为桔红色与红色或者只有红色。本研究结果将为选育优质苹果新品种提供依据和方法参考。     

Microsatellite marker isolation and cultured strain identification in <Emphasis Type="Italic">Carassius auratus gibelio</Emphasis>

Microsatellites have become the preferred molecular markers for strain selection and genetic breeding in fish. In this study a total of 105 microsatellites were isolated and identified in gibel carp (Carassius auratus gibelio) by microsatellite sequence searches in GenBank and other databases and by screening and sequencing of positive clones from the genomic library enriched for AG and GATA repeats. Moreover, nineteen microsatellites were randomly selected to design locus-specific primer pairs, and these were successfully used to identify and discriminate different cultured strains of gibel carp including strains A, D, L, and F. Three different types of microsatellite pattern were distinguished by the number and length of fragments amplified from the 19 primer pairs, and some microsatellite primer pairs were found to produce different microsatellite patterns among strains and strain-specific fragments. In addition, some duplicated alleles were also detected in two microsatellite patterns. Therefore, the current study provides direct molecular markers to discriminate among different cultured strains for selective breeding and aquaculture practice of gibel carp.

柑橘天然杂种秭归橘橙来源探究

秭归橘橙为天然柑橘杂种,果实无核、早熟,但其亲本来源未得到深入的分析和验证。为探明秭归橘橙的亲本,应用倍性检测、形态学标记和AFLP、cpSSR、nSSR等分子标记,对其进行遗传鉴定。倍性检测证实秭归橘橙为二倍体,叶形指数、气孔密度和大小、花粉育性和花粉形态分析表明秭归橘橙形态特征上偏向于甜橙,而其花粉染色活力介于甜橙与红橘之间。AFLP聚类分析表明秭归橘橙介于橙和橘之间。cpSSR、nSSR确认秭归橘橙的母本为甜橙(Citrus sinensis[L.]Osbeck),父本为橘类(C.reticulate Blanco)。

家蚕基因组中的分子标记遗传图谱

遗传标记既是基因组研究的重要内容，又是构建遗传图谱、研究生物多样性、育种、基因定位与克隆等的基因。目前，已有多项分子标记技术用于家蚕基因组的研究，并构建了多种分子标记遗传图谱，包括限制性酶切片段长度多态性（简称RFLP）、DNA随机扩增多态性（简称RAPD）、扩增片段长度多态性（简称AFLP）、简单重复序列PCR（简称SSR－PCR）等。本文就分子标记技术构建的家蚕基因组分子标记遗传图谱进行了讨论。     

Control of rabies: epidemiology of rabies in Asia and development of new-generation vaccines for rabies

Rabies is an enzootic viral disease widespread throughout the world. Although it is a vaccine-preventable disease, the annual number of human deaths caused by rabies is estimated to be 32,000 in Asia. Phylogenetic analysis based on sequence data of the partial N gene of rabies viruses in Asia has shown that the viruses are divided into five genogroups, distributed in Middle East, South Asia, South East Asia, Malay, and Arctic regions. The genetic relationships among these rabies viruses agree basically with the results of previous studies. Meanwhile, new types of vaccines are being developed by applying gene manipulation techniques to rabies virus in order to overcome the disadvantages of current vaccines. This article reviews the molecular epidemiology of rabies in Asia and progress made in the development of new-generation rabies vaccines with the goal of elimination or control of rabies in Asia.     

用于黄瓜白粉病抗性鉴定的InDel标记

根据黄瓜白粉病抗性主效基因/QTL的插入/缺失突变,将其设计成共显性的In Del分子标记。通过群体连锁分析,发现In Del-MLO1标记与黄瓜白粉病抗性主效基因共分离。应用该标记对24份来自世界各地且白粉病抗性已知的黄瓜材料进行抗性验证,21份材料的抗性表型与标记的带型一致,说明在黄瓜进化和驯化过程中,造成抗病表型的该插入/缺失突变发生普遍。因此,该In Del标记适合于大多数黄瓜材料的白粉病抗性鉴定和分子标记辅助育种,从而加快黄瓜白粉病抗病育种的进程。     

A 192bp allele at the <Emphasis Type="Italic">Xgwm261</Emphasis> locus is not always associated with the <Emphasis Type="Italic">Rht8</Emphasis> dwarfing gene in wheat (<Emphasis Type="Italic">Triticum aestivum</Emphasis> L.)

The height-reducing gene Rht8 was introduced into Italian wheats by breeder Nazareno Strampelli from the Japanese landrace Akakomugi, and has been widely used in wheats adapted to southern and eastern European conditions. Following identification of a close linkage to Rht8, microsatellite marker Gwm261 has been used extensively to screen large numbers of diverse international germplasm. A 192bp allele at this locus has been taken as “diagnostic” for Rht8 and used to infer the international distribution of Rht8. In this paper, we report several instances of cultivars and mapping populations that vary for the presence of the 192bp allele at the Xgwm261 locus (Xgwm261 ₁₉₂ ), but with no associated reduction in height, suggesting a lack of association with Rht8. For instance, in the population derived from a cross between Sunco (Rht-B1b, Xgwm261 ₁₆₅ ) and Tasman (Rht-D1b, Xgwm261 ₁₉₂ ), there were significant height differences associated with the segregation of Rht-B1b and Rht-D1b, but no height differences between Xgwm261 genotypes. Similar results were obtained in a population derived from the cross between Molineux (Rht-B1b, Xgwm261 ₁₉₂ ) and Trident (Rht-D1b Xgwm261 ₂₀₈ ). In contrast, the cross between Trident and Chuanmai 18 (Xgwm261 ₁₉₂ ) gave significant height effects at both the Rht-D1 and Xgwm261 loci, with no epistatic interaction between loci. Chuanmai 18 is closely related to the Strampelli wheat Mara (ancestrally derived from Akakomugi) and is therefore likely to carry Rht8. The old Japanese cultivar Norin 10, used by Norman Borlaug to introduce Rht-B1b and Rht-D1b into Mexican wheats, also has a 192bp allele at the Xgwm261 locus, and the sequence of the amplified product is identical to that of Akakomugi. We suggest that the widespread use of Norin 10-derived germplasm during and after the Green Revolution introduced a second haplotype into international germplasm, in which Xgwm261 ₁₉₂ has no association with Rht8. Therefore, the presence of Xgwm261 ₁₉₂ is only indicative of Rht8 in wheat cultivars that have inherited this allele from Akakomugi or a Strampelli wheat ancestor.
