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.

复垦土壤细菌群落结构及其与土壤肥力的关系

为了解两淮煤矿区复垦状况及其对土壤微生物的影响机制,合理人工干预,快速有效提高复垦土壤生产力,本研究以煤矸石充填复垦土壤为研究对象,通过野外调查与采样分析,采用Illumina MiSeq 高通量测序分析土壤细菌特定基因片段V4 区域,基于非度量多维尺度分析、冗余分析、方差分析、肥力指数、回归模型方法,对矸石充填土壤不同复垦方向的土壤细菌优势群落和生物多样性进行了探索,明晰土壤细菌群落及其与土壤肥力的响应作用。研究结果表明：细菌群落组成上,不同复垦方向对细菌优势群落分布并无显著性影响,变形菌门、酸杆菌门和放线菌门菌群为主要优势菌群。土壤微生物多样性层面上,表层土壤微生物有较高的丰富度和多样性,均匀度并无显著性差异。微生物多样性在不同复垦方向不存在显著性差异,Shannon_Wiener指数介于5.23～6.91之间,Chao1指数为867.1～5436,Pielou指数介于0.79～0.84之间,表中层同深层土壤的细菌群落结构具有差异性。TN、SOM、AP和AK是影响土壤细菌群落的主要肥力因子,土壤肥力质量指数与奇古菌门相对丰度呈显著正相关（P＜0.01）,同链霉菌属呈显著负相关（P＜0.05）,在一定程度上可将二者的相对丰度作为评价复垦土壤肥力状况的重要生物指标。研究成果可为两淮矿区矸石充填复垦土壤在微生物层面提高肥力质量提供理论支持。

基于转录组测序解析干旱胁迫对祁连山黄参基因表达的调控

以栽培2个月的黄参为试材,设置对照（土壤相对含水量70%~80%）和适度干旱胁迫（土壤相对含水量55%~60%）处理,利用高通量转录组测序BGISEQ-500平台,对测序结果进行基因功能注释、差异表达基因(DEGs, differentially expressed genes)筛选。结果表明：(1)获得的68193条Unigene中,分别有34230(50.20%)、34170(50.11%）、31727(46.53%)、27701(40.62%)、27092(39.73%)和22793(33.42%)个Unigene分别被分配到NCBI非冗余蛋白(NR)、eggNOG(基因的进化谱系, Evolutionary genealogy of genes: Non\|supervised Orthologous Groups)、基因本体(Gene ontology,GO)、Pfam (Protein family)、SwissProt (Reviewed protein sequence database)和KEGG (Kyoto encyelopedia of genes and genomes)六大功能数据库。(2)DEGs分析显示,黄参块状根和叶中分别有10674个和13402个DEGs;GO富集结果表明,根和叶中的DEGs功能部位中的分布基本一致,主要富集在生物过程、DNA的复制和翻译调控、氧化还原过程、蛋白质磷酸化、防御响应等;KEGG富集分析表明,根中DEGs显著富集在苯丙烷类生物合成、半乳糖代谢、半胱氨酸和甲硫氨酸代谢、淀粉和蔗糖代谢、植物-病原菌相互作用、植物激素信号转导等途径,叶中DEGs则主要富集在半乳糖代谢、淀粉和蔗糖代谢、苯丙烷类生物合成、戊糖、葡萄糖醛酸转换、植物激素信号转导等途径,说明淀粉和蔗糖代谢、半乳糖代谢、苯丙烷类生物合成途径、植物激素信号转导途径在黄参应对干旱胁迫中起重要作用。干旱胁迫影响黄参不同器官中差异基因的表达,为解析黄参耐受干旱的生物学途径、黄参药效成分的生物合成和分子机制提供了理论依据。     

基于简化基因组测序技术的甘薯HRM分子标记开发及其应用

目前甘薯中针对SNP位点的分子标记开发及应用的报道较少。为开发甘薯特异SNP分子标记,本研究利用简化基因组测序技术对甘薯种质材料进行测序,筛选稳定的SNP位点,将其开发为基于HRM技术的分子标记,并在甘薯种质材料中进行验证。通过对23个甘薯种质材料简化基因组测序数据的分析,共发现835 756个SNP多态性位点,筛选其中的3 650个含有SNP多态性位点的高质量测序片段,成功设计了134对引物;初步验证发现,22对(16.42%)引物没有扩增产物,15对(11.19%)引物扩增产物2个以上,36对(26.87%)引物的扩增产物没有差异。61对(45.52%)引物在8个样本中的扩增特异性好,而且样本之间有差异。最后筛选34对扩增多态性丰富的引物对52份甘薯种质材料进行扫描,发现材料间多态性介于27.27%~90.91%之间,平均多态性达到59.35%。聚类分析表明,参试52份甘薯种质材料之间的差异较小,多数材料与骨干亲本南瑞苕、徐薯18之间关系较近,国外引进甘薯材料和地方品种差异较大。建议在今后甘薯育种中尽量选用地方品种和国外甘薯品种,从而更好地拓宽甘薯遗传背景。本研究初步建立了基于简化基因组技术和HRM技术开发甘薯SNP分子标记的新思路,为今后甘薯SNP分子标记开发提供了参考。同时本研究开发的甘薯分子标记,丰富了甘薯分子标记类型,为甘薯研究者开展快速的分子标记研究提供了支持。     

Plot-scale manipulations of organic matter inputs to soils correlate with shifts in microbial community composition in a lowland tropical rain forest

Little is known about the organisms responsible for decomposition in terrestrial ecosystems, or how variations in their relative abundance may influence soil carbon (C) cycling. Here, we altered organic matter in situ by manipulating both litter and throughfall inputs to tropical rain forest soils, and then used qPCR and error-corrected bar-coded pyrosequencing to investigate how the resulting changes in soil chemical properties affected microbial community structure. The plot-scale manipulations drove significant changes in microbial community composition: Acidobacteria were present in greater relative abundance in litter removal plots than in double-litter plots, while Alphaproteobacteria were found in higher relative abundance in double-litter and throughfall reduction plots than in control or litter removal plots. In addition, the bacterial:archaeal ratio was higher in double-litter than no-litter plots. The relative abundances of Actinobacteria, Alphaproteobacteria and Gammaproteobacteria were positively correlated with microbial biomass C and nitrogen (N), and soil N and C pools, while acidobacterial relative abundance was negatively correlated with these same factors. Bacterial:archaeal ratios were positively correlated with soil moisture, total soil C and N, extractable ammonium pools, and soil C:N ratios. Additionally, bacterial:archaeal ratios were positively related to the relative abundance of Actinobacteria, Gammaproteobacteria, and Actinobacteria, and negatively correlated to the relative abundance of Nitrospira and Acidobacteria. Together, our results support the copiotrophic/oligotrophic model of soil heterotrophic microbes suggested by Fierer et al. (2007).     

不同程度重金属污染对稻田土壤真菌群落结构的影响

为了研究土壤真菌群落结构在不同程度重金属污染中的变化,本文用Illumina Hi Seq高通量测序技术分析了苏南地区某金属冶炼厂和加工产业区的重金属污染水稻土的真菌群落结构,发现不同程度重金属污染对水稻季土壤真菌丰度和群落结构均有显著影响。经过真菌主成分分析发现,PC1影响因素对样品处理差异的贡献率是35.96%,PC2影响因素对样品处理差异的贡献率是21.48%;通过真菌冗余度分析发现,重金属Pb和Cu污染对土壤真菌群落结构的影响显著;通过对真菌属水平的相对丰度分析表明,重金属污染会显著降低敏感真菌的丰度,如被孢霉属相对丰度最高降低了87.50%、木霉属最高降低了99.46%、离壳菌属和菇属最高降低了100.00%,同时耐性真菌的相对丰度会提高,如类球囊霉属的相对丰度最高增加了98倍、四枝孢霉属最高增加了56倍、根囊壶菌属最高增加了2.62倍。综上所述,不同程度重金属污染对稻田土壤真菌群落结构有显著影响,且随着污染程度的增加,抗逆真菌相对数量和种类显著增加,敏感真菌的相对数量急剧减少,真菌群落结构随着重金属污染程度增加进一步分化。
