中国樱桃InDel标记开发及其在蔷薇科果树中通用性评价

对栽培和野生中国樱桃进行De novo基因组测序和比对，在全基因组范围内检测筛选出50 617个InDel位点，并挑选均匀分布的200个标记进行验证，其中，27个标记在中国樱桃种内表现出多态性。利用多态性标记，对不同来源的192份中国樱桃（168份栽培和24份野生）种质进行基因型分型，共检测到60个等位基因（N_a），平均每个标记2.2个；基因多样性指数（H_s）为0.010 ~ 0.500，平均0.239；多态性信息含量（PIC）为0.010 ~ 0.375，平均0.198，表明中国樱桃遗传基础相对狭窄。根据聚类结果和地理分布将192份中国樱桃种质大致划分为5个群体。筛选出在蔷薇科李亚科樱属、李属、桃属、杏属、苹果亚科梨属、苹果属和蔷薇亚科草莓属、悬钩子属等重要果树共8个属156个个体中表现出较好通用性标记34个。物种与中国樱桃亲缘关系越近，InDel标记的多态性越高。     

具有III型分泌系统的Pseudomonas moraviensis FP1761植物益生功能及其全基因组分析

 本研究从节瓜根际分离到一株具有防病促生功能的荧光类假单胞菌FP1761。该菌株对部分植物病原真菌和细菌具有拮抗能力,能够解钾、解有机磷和无机磷,可产生氨、蛋白酶、嗜铁素、吲哚乙酸。生物测定表明菌株FP1761可显著促进小麦生长。生理生化、平均核苷酸相似度、16S rDNA和多基因分析将FP1761鉴定为摩拉维亚假单胞菌(Pseudomonas moraviensis)。菌株FP1761基因组草图全长6.12 Mb,(G+C)含量为59.9%,共编码5467个基因序列。将该菌株与种内3个代表性菌株进行泛基因组和核心基因组分析,共产生 4 357个共有基因,菌株FP1761特有基因327个。利用antiSMASH对菌株次生代谢基因簇进行预测,发现其含有8个潜在的次生代谢产物基因簇。其中两个基因簇与嗜铁素pyoverdine合成相关,未见聚酮类合成基因。基因组分析发现,该菌株具有与病原性假单胞菌相似的III型分泌系统,但丢失了效应蛋白调控因子hrpS和转运相关的hrpH和hrpK1基因。对全基因组扫描,菌株FP1761仅保留了病原性假单胞菌的保守效应蛋白AvrE和HopAA1-1。FP1761是目前已发现的唯一具有III型分泌系统的摩拉维亚假单胞菌。本研究表明摩拉维亚假单胞菌FP1761具有潜在的植物防病促生功能,但其III型分泌系统与植物益生互作机制有待进一步解析。     

马铃薯StUOXs基因家族的生物信息学分析

马铃薯(Solanum tuberosum)是世界第三大粮食作物,其产量和品质受到生物与非生物胁迫的影响。泛醌氧化酶(ubiquinol oxidase,UOX)是一种由核基因编码的线粒体末端氧化酶,在植物生长发育及胁迫应答中发挥重要作用。为了解StUOXs在马铃薯抗病过程中发挥的应答反应,利用生物信息学方法在马铃薯基因组中鉴定出5个StUOXs基因,对其理化性质、染色体定位、三级结构、进化关系、保守结构域、启动子元件和表达谱尤其是受青枯菌(Ralstonia solanacearum)诱导的表达模式进行了分析。结果表明:马铃薯StUOXs基因编码的氨基酸数在279~366,相对分子质量为31~42 ku,亚细胞定位在线粒体中;系统进化分析发现,马铃薯StUOXs成员与番茄、辣椒的UOXs成员的亲缘关系最近,较之拟南芥、烟草亲缘关系稍远;FPKM数据分析发现,StUOXs主要受盐、激素和生物胁迫诱导而在叶片中表达,这与其启动子中的存在的激素应答等顺式作用元件相对应。青枯菌接种后的qRT-PCR实验表明,StUOX4参与马铃薯青枯病的早期应答反应。     

Ace and ace-like genes of invasive redlegged earth mite: copy number variation,target-site mutations,and their associations with organophosphate insensitivity

Background

Invasive Australian populations of redlegged earth mite, Halotydeus destructor (Tucker), are evolving increasing organophosphate resistance. In addition to the canonical ace gene, the target gene of organophosphates, the H. destructor genome contains many radiated ace-like genes that vary in copy number and amino acid sequence. In this work, we characterise copy number and target-site mutation variation at the canonical ace and ace-like genes and test for potential associations with organophosphate insensitivity. This was achieved through comparisons of whole-genome pool-seq data from alive and dead mites following organophosphate exposure.

Results

A combination of increased copy number and target-site mutations at the canonical ace was associated with organophosphate insensitivity in H. destructor. Resistant populations were segregating for G119S, A201S, F331Y at the canonical ace. A subset of populations also had copy numbers of canonical ace > 2, which potentially helps overexpress proteins carrying these target-site mutations. Haplotypes possessing different copy numbers and target-site mutations of the canonical ace gene may be under selection across H. destructor populations. We also detected some evidence that increases in copy number of radiated ace-like genes are associated with organophosphate insensitivity, which might suggest potential roles in sequestration or breakdown of organophosphates.

Conclusion

Different combinations of target-site mutations and (or) copy number variation in the canonical ace and ace-like genes may provide non-convergent ways for H. destructor to respond to organophosphate selection. However, these changes may only play a partial role in organophosphate insensitivity, which appears to have a polygenic architecture. © 2023 The Authors.

广西猪瘟病毒E0和E2基因的克隆及序列分析

通过分析目前广西猪瘟病毒(CSFV)的E0和E2基因特征,为了解广西地区CSFV的分子流行病学、遗传变异及综合防控提供科学依据。试验采用RT-PCR方法,对阳性猪瘟样品进行CSFV的E0及E2基因的扩增,经克隆、测序后,利用DNAStar软件对序列进行比对分析,同时绘制系统遗传进化树。结果表明,从阳性猪瘟样品中成功扩增CSFV的E0及E2基因。序列比对分析发现,GX2毒株与参考毒株的E0基因核苷酸同源性在83.1%~94.1%,其推导氨基酸同源性在85.9%~99.6%;与参考毒株的E2基因核苷酸同源性为81.7%~93.7%,其推导氨基酸同源性为89.0%~97.0%;E0与E2基因均属于基因Ⅱ群。氨基酸变异位点分析表明,E0蛋白的RNase活性区域氨基酸基序位点没有发生变异;E2蛋白中15个位点上的半胱氨酸均未发生变异,但单抗识别位点S734R发生变异。遗传进化分析显示测定的GX2毒株与近年来广西CSFV流行毒株的变异趋势相似,与中国传统疫苗株HCLV、经典强毒株Shimen的同源性较低,亲缘关系较远,与广西近年来的流行毒株GXWZ02株的同源性较高,亲缘关系较近。

DNA fingerprinting in soybean (Glycine max (L.) Merrill) with oligonucleotide probes for simple repetitive sequences

Summary Soybean DNA fingerprints were analyzed by digoxigenin-labeled oligonucleotide probes complementary to simple repetitive sequences. The clearest and most polymorphic patterns were obtained with (AAT)₆ as a probe, with which all 47 soybean cultivars tested could be distinguished. However, DNA fingerprints of individuals within cultivars showed the same pattern. Using (CT)₈, (GAA)₅ or (AAGG)₄ as probes, clear polymorphic patterns among cultivars and accessions in the subgenus Soja (Glycine max and Glycine soja) were not observed, while quite different patterns were found in accessions in the subgenus Glycine. The results suggest that G. max and G. soja are closer in their genome structure. DNA fingerprints of reciprocal crosses between cultivars and accessions in the subgenus Soja were similar, and contained bands of both parents. In an F₂ population from these crosses, such bands segregated in a Mendelian fashion.     

中国黄土高原黄土-古土壤序列的红度对古气候的指示意义

Comparisons of red ratings (RR) with Fe_d, Fe_d/Fe_t, clay content, and magnetic susceptibility (x) of two loess-paleosol sequences at Luochuan and Lingtai on China's Loess Plateau were conducted to study the possible relationship between RR and pedogenic degrees of the two loess-paleosol sequences, and to discuss whether the RR could become new paleo-climatic indicators. Results showed that the RR of the two loess-paleosol sequences had positive, highly significant (P < 0.01) correlations with: 1) citrate-bicarbonate-dithionite (CBD) extracted iron (Fe_d), 2) ratios of CBD extracted iron to total iron (Fe_d/Fe_t), 3) clay (< 2 μm), and 4) magnetic susceptibility (x). This suggested that the RR of these loess-paleosol sequences could indicate degrees of loess weathering and pedogenesis and were potential paleo-climatic proxies. The strong correlations of RR to Fe_d and x also implied that during pedogenic processes, pedogenic hematite in loess and paleosols were closely related to the amount of total secondary iron oxides and pedogenic ferrimagnetic minerals (predominantly maghemite).     

Suicide vectors for the introduction of genetic markers into Bradyrhizobium strains by site-directed chromosomal integration between repeated sequences (RS-α)

To achieve stable expression of the heterologous and reporter genes in the Bradyrhizobium genome, we constructed suicide plasmids capable of site-directed genomic integration of the gusA, gfp and nifA genes by homologous recombination into non-essential repeated sequences (RS-α), isolated from B. japonicum strain CPAC7 (SEMIA5080). In this report, we describe the strategies to construct the vectors and their use to obtain mutants with site-specific insertions.
