小麦抗白粉病基因Pm5e的SSR标记研究

小麦白粉病是由小麦白粉菌（Erysiphe gramini f.sp．fritici）引起的真菌性病害。冬小麦品种复壮30中含有一个单隐性抗白粉病基因,即Pm5e。该基因对我国流行的白粉病小种表现为高抗或免疫。本研究以含抗白粉病基因的复壮30、感病品种Chancellor为材料构建F2分离群体,利用分离群体分组分析法（bulked segregant analysis,BSA）对该抗白粉病基因进行了SSR标记分析。在已定位在7B染色体上的56对SSR引物中,8对引物能在亲本间稳定的揭示多态性差异,3个引物Xwmc364、Xbarc065和Xwmc517在抗、感亲本,抗、感池间均表现多态性差异,F2分离群体的验证结果表明标记Xwmc364175、Xbarc06590和Xwmc517200与抗病基因连锁,遗传距离分别为4．9cM、5．1cM和18．5cM。其中标记Xwmc364175和Xbarc06590与抗病基因连锁紧密,在对Pm5e的标记辅助选择（marker-assisted selection,MAS）中具有重要利用价值。     

SSR标记与花生抗黄曲霉性状的关联分析

本文选用100对SSR引物对12个抗感黄曲霉花生品种的基因组DNA进行扩增,结果表明共有41对引物在不同品种间检测出2～4个等位基因,多态性信息量(PIC)为0.153～0.750.供试品种SSR标记基因型与黄曲霉侵染指数间的关联分析表明有5个标记与抗性相关,其中标记pPGSseq19D9与抗性关联度最高,Pearson相关系数达0.913.进一步观察发现pPGSseq19D9的扩增带型能直接区分抗感品种,初步推断pPGSseq19D9可能与一个贡献率较大的抗黄曲霉基因连锁.     

小麦分子遗传图谱的加密

高密度的分子标记遗传图谱是QTL定位、图位克隆和分子标记辅助选择等研究的基础。以小麦品种“京花1号/小白冬麦”的双单倍体(DH)群体和“农大015/复壮30”的重组自交系(RIL)群体为作图群体,选用在DH群体双亲间的339个多态性标记和在RIL群体双亲间的343个多态性标记分析作图群体各个株系的基因型,对本中心近年开发的SCAR、EST-SSR标记以及他人开发的SSR、EST-SSR标记进行了染色体定位,并利用连锁分析软件Joinmap 4.0将2个作图群体的结果整合,最终构建了10个连锁群,将217个SSR、EST-SSR和SCAR位点定位在9条染色体上,进一步提高了小麦遗传图谱的密度。     

DNA profiling and genetic diversity of Korean soybean (<Emphasis Type="Italic">Glycine max</Emphasis> (L.) Merrill) landraces by SSR markers

Approximately 7,000 accessions of Korean soybean (Glycine max (L.) Merrill) landraces, largely composed of three collections, the Korea Atomic Energy Research Institute’s soybean (KAS), the Korean Crop Experiment Station’s soybean (KLS) and the Korean Agricultural Development and Technology Center’s soybean (KADTC) collections, have been conserved at the Rural Development Administration (RDA) genebank in Korea. The accessions within collections were classified based on their traditional uses such as sauce soybean (SA), sprouted soybean (SP), soybean for cooking with rice (SCR), and OTHERS. A total of 2,758 accessions of Korean soybean landraces were used to profile and to evaluate genetic structure using six SSR loci. A total of 110 alleles were revealed by at the six SSR loci. The number of alleles per SSR locus ranged from 9 to 39 in Satt187 and Satt_074, respectively. The number of alleles ranged from 87 in the KADTC collection to 96 in the KLS collection, and from 63 in the SCR group to 95 in the SP group. Nei’s average genetic diversity ranged from 0.68 to 0.70 across three collections, and 0.64 to 0.69 across the usage groups. The average between-group differentiation (G _st) was 0.9 among collections, and 4.1 among the usage groups. The similar average diversity among three collections implies that the genetic background of the three collections was quite similar or that there were a large number of duplicate accessions in three collections. The selection from the four groups classified based upon usage may be a useful way to select accessions for developing a Korean soybean landrace core collection at the RDA genebank. DNA profile information of accessions will provide indications of redundancies or omissions and aid in managing the soybean collection held at the RDA genebank. The information on diversity analysis could help to enlarge the genetic diversity of materials in breeding programs and could be used to develop a core collection.     

中国88个马铃薯审定品种SSR指纹图谱构建与遗传多样性分析

为对马铃薯品种鉴别、优良杂交组合选配提供分子水平上的依据,利用SSR标记构建了中国2000-2007年审定的88个马铃薯品种的指纹图谱并进行了遗传多样性分析。以138对SSR引物对16份遗传差异较大的马铃薯材料的基因组DNA进行了扩增,筛选出10对多态性高、谱带清晰的引物。利用10对SSR引物对全部供试材料进行扩增及电泳检测,共检测到135个等位位点,其中133个为多态性位点,多态性比率达98.52%。每对SSR引物扩增出的等位位点数7~22个,平均13.5个,多态性信息量变化范围为0.7604~0.9375,平均0.8501。通过对电泳检测结果的统计分析,利用S180、S25、S7、S151、S184及S192等6对引物构建了88份供试材料的SSR指纹图谱。聚类分析表明,在相似系数0.620处,所有供试材料被被聚为一类,在相似系数0.652处,81.8%的材料仍然聚在一起,从分子水平上表明供试材料遗传基础非常狭窄。聚类分析结果与供试材料系谱来源有较好一致性,同一栽培区域育成的品种在不同程度上聚在一类。

Recent advances in molecular genetics of forest trees

The use of molecular markers has greatly enhanced our understanding of the genome structure of forest trees. Conifers, in particular, have a relatively large genome, containing a very high proportion of repeated DNA, consisting of tandemly repetitive and dispersed repetitive DNA sequences. The nature of highly conserved tandemly repetitive rRNA genes has been investigated in a number of tree species, and their sites mapped on specific chromosomes by fluorescent in situ hybridization (FISH). Different families of retrotransposons (IFG, and TPE1) have been isolated and characterized from the dispersed repetitive DNA of pines. Genome maps have been constructed in a number of forest tree genera: Pinus, Picea, Pseudotsuga, Cryptomeria, Taxus, Populus, and Eucalyptus. EST databases have been established from cDNA clones of pines and poplars. The structure and maternal or paternal modes of inheritance of organelle genomes have been investigated in forest trees. Comparative mapping in conifers has shown that gene families are conserved across genera. Due to lack of polyploidy in conifers, the evolution of this group of trees may have occurred primarily by duplication and dispersal of genes, probably by retrotranspositions, to form complex gene families. The evolution of angiosperm tree species has presumably involved both gene duplication as well as genome duplication (polyploidy). Application of genetic engineering has shown that genes from phylogenetically unrelated organisms can be introduced and expressed in trees, thus offering prospects of genetic improvement of forest trees.

Classification of cassava into ‘bitter’ and ‘cool’ in Malawi: From farmers' perception to characterisation by molecular markers

Cassava roots, a major food in Africa, contain cyanogenic glucosides that may cause toxic effects. Malawian women farmers considered fields of seemingly similar cassava plants to be mixes of both ‘cool’ and ‘bitter’ cultivars. They regard roots from ‘cool’ cultivars as non-toxic. Roots of ‘bitter’ were considered to require extensive traditional processing done by women to be safe for consumption. But curiously, these women farmers preferred ‘bitter’ cultivars since toxicity confers protection against theft, which was a serious threat to the food security of their families. We studied how well these farmers comprehend the effects of genetic variations in cassava when dealing with cyanogenesis in this complex system. Using molecular markers we show that most plants farmers identified as belonging to a particular named cultivar had a genotype typical of that cultivar. Farmers' ethno-classification into ‘cool’ and ‘bitter’ cultivars corresponded to a genetic sub-division of the typical genotypes of the most common cultivars, with four-fold higher cyanogenic glucoside levels in the bitter cultivars. Examining morphology, farmers distinguished genotypes better than did the investigators when using a standard botanical key. Undoubtedly, these women farmers grasp sufficiently the genetic diversity of cassava with regard to cyanogenesis to simultaneously benefit from it and avoid its dangers. Consequently, acyanogenic cassava – the breeding of which is an announced good of some cassava genetic improvement programmes – is not a priority to these farmers. Advances in molecular genetics can help improve food supply in Africa by rapid micropropagation, marker assisted breeding and introduction of transgenic varieties, but can also help to elucidate tropical small-scale farmers' needs and skills.
