基于微卫星亲权鉴定技术的短蛸性选择研究

为研究短蛸(Octopus ocellatus)的性选择行为，本研究利用14个多态性微卫星标记，对3个母本、176个子代及17个候选父本进行亲权鉴定，对3个家系中有子代和无子代雄蛸、子代比例高和子代比例低的雄蛸的各形态参数进行t检验，并对子代比例高和子代比例低的父本与母本的遗传相似性与遗传距离进行分析。结果显示，短蛸为多雌多雄的交配模式，为真正意义的雌性混交动物；雄蛸有无子代与其形态参数无相关性；子代比例与父本的形态大小参数无关，而与父母本的遗传相似性和遗传距离有关，父母本遗传相似性越高，遗传距离越小，后代比例越高。本研究为揭示短蛸交配前后的性选择机制提供了重要线索，也为海洋头足类动物的性选择机制研究提供了基础资料。     

抗条锈病小麦-滨麦Lm#3Ns二体异附加系的分子细胞遗传学鉴定

滨麦(Leymus mollis)是小麦的三级基因源,具有改良小麦所需的许多优良性状。为了将滨麦中的优异基因导入到普通小麦中,通过远缘杂交获得小麦-滨麦异附加系、异代换系、易位系,以选自普通小麦7182与滨麦衍生后代M42(2n=54)F_6代的株系M11005-1-2-7-10-1-1(M11005A)为供试材料,对其进行了形态学、细胞学、原位杂交、分子标记、抗病性等综合鉴定。细胞学观察结果显示,M11005A有44条染色体且配对良好,可以稳定遗传。原位杂交及分子标记结果表明,M11005A含有42条普通小麦染色体和1对来自滨麦Lm#3Ns的染色体,并且用Oligo-pTa535探针得到了Lm#3Ns的FISH核型;筛选出6个EST及8个PLUG特异分子标记可以用来鉴定Lm#3Ns染色体,其中只有1个EST和4个PLUG标记可以同时在M11005A中扩增出滨麦和华山新麦草的条带,说明滨麦的Lm#3Ns染色体与华山新麦草的3Ns基因组之间存在差异。M11005A的穗长、穗型、小穗数、千粒重与亲本7182无显著差异,但分蘖数较7182显著增加,株高显著降低。抗条锈病鉴定结果显示,苗期M11005A对条锈菌生理小种CYR29和CYR34表现高抗,对CYR32表现高感,成株期对CYR32和CYR33混合小种表现高抗,推测滨麦的Lm#3Ns染色体携带对CYR29和CYR34小种的抗性基因,又携带了成株期对CYR32和CYR33的抗性基因。因此,M11005A可以作为抗源应用于小麦的条锈病抗性改良中。     

Cross‐linked polyacrylates in post‐mining substrates: persistence and effects on plant growth

Application of hydrophilic polymers composed of cross‐linked polyacrylate can improve soil water‐holding capacity and accelerate the restoration of post‐mining substrates. In this work, we studied the persistence of a polyacrylate polymer incorporated into a soil and its impact on plant nutrients at a reclamation site of former lignite mining in Lusatia (Germany). In contrast to autumn application, the incorporation of the polymer enhanced the sequestration of plant‐derived carbon in the soil, which was reflected by a significant increase in the concentration of a lignin marker. Attenuated total reflexion–Fourier transform infrared spectra (ATR‐FTIR) and total elemental contents in the applied polymer suggested an intensive cation exchange between the polymer framework and the soil‐forming substrate. In addition, there was an enrichment of carbonaceous material, which seems to reduce the swelling and thus the water‐holding capacity of the cross‐linked polyacrylate. Conversely, this process protected the polymer structure from rapid decomposition.     

簇毛麦6VS特异转录序列P21461及P33259的获得及其分子标记在鉴定小麦-簇毛麦抗白粉病育种材料中的应用

簇毛麦6V#2S和6V#4S染色体臂分别携带抗白粉病基因Pm21和Pm V,在与小麦的杂种后代中,抗病基因与外源染色体臂共分离。开发鉴定2条外源染色体臂间多态性的序列,尤其是遗传信息相对缺乏的6V#4S染色体臂的序列,对于其在遗传与育种上的应用具有重要意义。本研究以携带6V#4S·6DL染色体的小麦易位系Pm97033及感病小麦亲本宛7107接种白粉菌的叶片转录组数据为资源,通过差异基因筛选、共线性分析、簇毛麦基因组扩增及测序验证的方法,鉴定出来自6V#4S的表达序列P21461和P33259,其中基于P21461序列设计的引物P461-5在簇毛麦6V#2S和6V#4S染色体臂的扩增产物具有30 bp的In Del和4 nt的多态性。用该引物转化的标记P461-5a可以鉴定抗白粉病小麦品种和高代品系所含的外源染色体,显示其在簇毛麦抗源鉴别和小麦抗病育种辅助选择中潜在的应用价值。根据P33259开发的标记P259-1可以对含有6V#4S染色体臂的材料进行特异扩增,但对6V#2S·6AL易位染色体没有扩增产物,因此P259-1可作为6V#4S·6DL易位染色体的特异分子标记。q RT-PCR分析结果显示,P21461的表达不受白粉菌诱导,而P33259在接菌后12 h和24 h的转录水平比接菌前提高约2倍,推测其可能参与Pm97033与白粉菌的早期互作。     

Molecular mapping of soybean seed tocopherols in the cross ‘OAC Bayfield’ × ‘OAC Shire’

Soybean (Glycine max [L.] Merr.) is cultivated primarily for its protein and oil in the seed. In addition, soybean seeds contain nutraceutical compounds such as tocopherols (vitamin E), which are powerful antioxidants with health benefits. The objective of this study was to identify molecular markers linked to quantitative trait loci (QTL) that affect accumulation of soybean seed tocopherols. A recombinant inbred line (RIL) population derived from the cross ‘OAC Bayfield’ × ‘OAC Shire’ was grown in three locations over 2 years. A total of 151 SSR markers were polymorphic of which a one‐way analysis of variance identified 42 markers whereas composite interval mapping identified 26 markers linked to tocopherol QTL across 17 chromosomes. Individual QTL explained from 7% to 42% of the total phenotypic variation. Significant two‐locus epistatic interactions were identified for a total of 122 combinations in 2009 and 152 in 2010. The multiple‐locus models explained 18.4–72.2% of the total phenotypic variation. The reported QTL may be used in marker‐assisted selection (MAS) to develop high tocopherol soybean cultivars.

Identification of a diverse mini‐core panel of Indian rice germplasm based on genotyping using microsatellite markers

Identification of a small core germplasm set representing the available genetic diversity is essential for its proper evaluation and subsequent utilization in rice improvement programmes. For constituting a small diverse mini‐core panel of Indian rice germplasm, a representative set of 6912 accessions drawn based on their geographic origin from the whole rice germplasm collection available in the National Gene Bank was genotyped using 36 microsatellite markers. Automated fragment analysis of amplicons yielded a total of 435 alleles, with an average 12.4 and range of 3–29 alleles per locus. Polymorphism information content (PIC) ranged from 0.08 (RGNMS190) to 0.86 (RM552) with an average of 0.528. Based on genotyping data, a mini‐core consisting of 98 genotypes was identified. Ninety‐four per cent of the alleles present in the core set were present in the mini‐core. The identified small but diverse panel will be useful for further intensive trait‐specific evaluation and utilization in allele mining.
