Mate choice of an endogeic earthworm revealed by microsatellite markers

Endogeic earthworms are difficult study subjects due to the cryptic medium in which they live; thus, only the behaviour of epigeic and anecic earthworms has been studied before. We used microsatellite markers as a tool to elucidate the mate choice processes of Hormogaster elisae, an endogeic earthworm. It was shown to normally mate with two partners, preferably of the same size that are found in close proximity thereby eliminating the need for long-distance dispersion, which could explain the previously observed high genetic differentiation between populations. The genetic analyses of the sperm within each of its four spermathecae showed a uniform distribution with no signs of differential storage of sperm from different partners.     

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.     

Molecular genetic characterisation of the Asc locus of tomato conferring resistance to the fungal pathogen Alternaria alternata f. sp. lycopersici

The Alternaria stem canker disease of tomato is caused by the fungal pathogen Alternaria alternata f. sp. lycopersici and its host-selective AAL-toxins. Resistance to the pathogen and insensitivity to the toxins are conferred by the Asc locus on chromosome 3L. Sensitivity to AAL-toxins is a relative character; the toxins inhibit development of all tested tomato tissues but susceptible cultivars are much more sensitive than resistant cultivars. In addition to tomato, some other plant and animal species are sensitive to the toxins as well. The likely mode of action of AAL-toxins is interference with sphingolipid biosynthesis by specific inhibition of ceramide synthase activity. To molecularly isolate Asc, transposon tagging and positional cloning strategies are applied. As a first step, transposon insertions and restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) markers are identified in proximity of the Asc locus. Subsequently, the transposons are used to inactivate Asc by insertion mutagenesis, and the RFLP markers are used to identify yeast artificial chromosomes (YACs) with tomato DNA inserts. Once an Asc-insertion mutant and/or a YAC encompassing Asc has been obtained, physical isolation and characterisation of Asc will be conceivable. Elucidation of the molecular role of Asc will illuminate the specificity of host recognition by Alternaria alternata f. sp. lycopersici.Abbreviations AAL-toxin Alternaria alternata lycopersici-toxin - A. a. lycopersici Alternaria alternata f. sp. lycopersici - Asc Alternaria stem canker - HST host-selective toxin     

A Possible Association Between Heading Time and the GM-A2 Locus in Bread Wheat

A line without expression (null form) o: the α-gliadins controlled by the 6A chromosome was found when screening electrosboretically single seeds of the bread wheat ‘Raeder’. Differences in heading time were also observed between this null line and the normal one. A linkage between 6A gliadin genes and heading time gene(s) is hypothesized.     

Glu-1位点缺失对小麦麦谷蛋白聚合体粒度分布及面团特性的影响

以Glu-1位点正常和部分缺失的小麦品系为材料,探讨HMW-GS和LMW-GS组成与谷蛋白聚合体粒度分布和面团特性的关系,为利用HMW-GS缺失系改良小麦品质提供理论依据。在20个供试硬白冬麦品系中,1个品系为Glu-A1位点缺失,5个品系为Glu-D1缺失,3个品系为Glu-A1和Glu-D1双缺失。所有品系的蛋白质含量皆较高(13.39%~14.12%),品系间无显著差异,缺失系与非缺失系间也无显著差异。Glu-1位点缺失显著降低了高分子量谷蛋白/低分子量谷蛋白比(HMW/LMW)、不溶性谷蛋白大聚体的含量和百分比。谷蛋白/醇溶蛋白比(GLU/GLI)在基因型间变幅较小,且在缺失系和非缺失系间无显著差异。Glu-1位点缺失显著降低了面团弹性,但显著提高了面团的延展性。部分Glu-1位点缺失系仍具有较高的面团强度和突出的延展性,谷蛋白聚合体粒度分布和面团特性受谷蛋白亚基组成和表达量的共同影响。研究结果表明,利用Glu-1位点亚基缺失可能是改善面筋延展性,提高食品加工品质的方法之一。     

A new locus for resistance to brown planthopper identified in the indica rice variety DV85

The brown planthopper (BPH) is one of the most destructive insect pests of rice. Resistant varieties have proved to be one of the most economic and effective measures for BPH management. In this study, an indica rice ‘DV85’ showed resistance to biotype 2 of BPH by bulked seedling test, and a recombinant inbred line (RIL) population derived from a cross between a susceptible rice ‘Kinmaze’ and ‘DV85’ was phenotyped to map genetic factors conferring BPH resistance in ‘DV85′. Composite interval mapping revealed that one quantitative trait locus (QTL) with a LOD score of 10.1 was detected between XNpb202 and C1172 on chromosome 11. This QTL was designated as Qbph11. Qbph11 explained 68.4% of the phenotypic variance of BPH resistance in this population. The allele from the resistant parent ‘DV85’ at Qbph11 reduced the damage caused by BPH feeding and would be very useful in breeding resistant rice varieties via marker‐assisted selection.     

水稻F1花粉不育基因的精细定位及其遗传分化研究

水稻籼粳亚种间杂种的不育性限制了亚种间的遗传交流和杂种优势利用。本研究通过发展位置特异性的微卫星标记将F1花粉不育基因S-6座位进行了精细定位；通过分析近等基因系中代换片段的遗传效应，鉴定出了F1花粉不育基因S-d座位，利用位置特异性的微卫星标记将S-d进行了定位；根据基因组的序列资料和利用较大的作图群体对S-6和S-d两个座位进行了物理作图；通过分子标记辅助选择培育了一批复等位基因近等基因系，对育性基因的遗传分化进行了研究。取得了如下主要结果：1、根据S-6座位初步定位的结果发展位置特异性的微卫星标记，将F1花粉不育基因座S-6进行了精细定位。结果表明多态性标记均与S-6座位紧密连锁，其中R830STS、PSM7、PSM8、PSM9、．PSM59和PSM60位于S-6座位一端，与S-6座位遗传距离分别为1．5cM、1．2cM、0．9cM、0．9cM、0．9cM和0．9cM，而PSM202、PSM206、PSM208、RMl3、R2213SSTS和RM413位于S-6座位的另一端，与S-6座位的遗传距离分别为0．9cM、2．1cM、3．8cM、4．1cM、4．4cM和5．3cM。2、根据S-6座位精细定位的结果，从IRGSP下载了S-6座位所在区域克隆的序列，将克隆的序列进行了拼接，同时将与S-6座位紧密连锁的分子标记与序列拼接图进行了电子整合。根据整合的结果发展位置特异性的微卫星标记和STS标记，利用500株的作图群体，最终将S-6座位界定在PSM8与PSM215之间182．2kb的范围，其中PSM214、T17、T18和T19与S-6座位完全连锁。3、通过对近等基因系E11-5中代换片段遗传效应的分析，在第1染色体的代换片段上鉴定出一个新的F1花粉不育基因座S-d。根据基因组的序列发展位置特异性的微卫星标记将S-d座位进行了定位。结果表明多态性标记均与S-d座位紧密连锁，其中PSM27、PSM24、．PSM26、PSM23、PSM31、PSM25、PSM37、PSM41、PSM42、PSM43、．PSM44、．PSMl2和PSMl3位于S-d座位的一端，与S-d座位的遗传距离分别为10．6cM、7．2cM、7．2cM、6．8cM、6．8cM、6．4cM、6．4cM、4．8cM、4．8cM、3．2cM、1．6cM、0．4cM和0．4cM，而RM84、RM86、RM323、RMl和RM283位于S-d座位的另一端，与S-d座位的遗传距离分别为3．8cM、4．6cM、6．7cM、7．5cM和8．7cM。4、根据S—d座位定位的结果，从IRGSP下载了S-d座位所在区域克隆的序列，将克隆的序列进行了拼接，同时将与S-d紧密连锁的分子标记与序列拼接图进行了电子整合。根据整合的结果发展位置特异性的微卫星标记和STS标记，利用2160株的作图群体，最终将S-d座位界定在67．8kb的范围内，其中PSM93和PSM74位于S-d座位的两侧且各与S-d仅有一个重组，而PSM95、PSM96、T1和T2与S-d座位完全连锁。RiceGAAS注释分析表明在此区段有17个ORF。，其中3个ORF可能与杂种不育性有关。BLAST分析表明此段序列籼粳之间的同源性较低，这也可能是杂种不育的一个原因。5、通过分子标记辅助选择，在F1花粉不育基因s-n、s-6、s-c和s-d座位各培育了一批复等位基因近等基因系，测交分析表明各不育基因座位上的不育基因不仅分化为相对的S^i和S^j，而且基因型类型相同的复等位基因的遗传分化也达到了显著差异的水平。携带有多个复等位基因的近等基因系的测交分析表明，复等位基因近等基因系的遗传效应为各基因座位遗传效应的累加，各基因的遗传效应相互独立，彼此间无相互作用。     

Fine mapping of the genetic locus L1 conferring black pods using a chromosome segment substitution line population of soybean

The colour of plant organs is a useful trait in crop breeding. The pod colours of soybeans primarily include black, brown and tan types, which are controlled by two classical genetic loci, L1 and L2. Most wild soybeans have black pods, which reflect a possible role in adaptation to the natural environment. Here, an improved chromosome segment substitution line (CSSL) population SojaCSSLP3 was established to identify the L1 gene. The segment on the 19th chromosome represented by the SSR marker Satt313 was found to link with locus L1. The region was further delimited three times with increased SSR and InDel markers using a population derived from a heterozygous plant of CSSL124 from SojaCSSLP3. The L1 gene was finally located in a 184.43‐kb region between SSR_19p09 and Indel_19P7. Thirteen putative genes in this region were analysed with qRT‐PCR. The expression level of Glyma19 g27460, which is a member of the SANT superfamily with a MYB DNA‐binding domain, was significantly upregulated in black pods and was recognized to be the most likely candidate for the L1 gene.     

PPR‐B‐31: a new maintainer allele in the male‐fertility restorer gene of radish (Raphanus sativus) Ogura cytoplasm

The PPR‐B gene is responsible for male‐fertility restoration of the Ogura‐type male‐sterile radish plants, and it is located in the complex Rfo locus in the vicinity of similar PPR‐A gene and PPR‐C pseudogene. The aim of this study was to identify PPR‐B alleles and understand the structure of the Rfo locus in radish breeding lines. Five lines of radish with normal male‐fertile cytoplasm were tested. The entire PPR‐B gene was amplified, sequenced and allelic PPR‐B sequences were identified. The results indicated that the maintainer lines 7, 15 and 21 contained a non‐restoring form of PPR‐B protein. A unique PPR‐B was found in lines 24/15 and 31 that are restorer and maintainer lines, respectively. The substitutions might be responsible for the loss of a restoring function of the PPR‐B‐31 allele. Amplification of the PPR‐A/PPR‐B and PPR‐B/PPR‐C intergenic regions allowed to identify rearrangements within Rfo locus. Obtained results confirm the wide allelic variation within the Rfo locus, as well as high genetic complexity of the fertility restoration mechanism in radish.
