人工老化玉米种子活力指标、生理指标与基因组DNA甲基化变异的研究

以玉米单交种郑单958和先玉335为试验材料,采用老化箱加速种子老化。随着种子老化时间的延长,郑单958和先玉335种子的发芽率、发芽指数、活力指数逐渐降低,老化至8 d,种子活力指标降至极低的水平。过氧化物酶、过氧化氢酶活力逐渐降低,电导率、丙二醛含量逐渐升高。MSAP分子标记扩增出2 750条有效峰值,随老化时间的延长,郑单958的CG甲基化水平呈现出逐渐降低的趋势,先玉335的CG甲基化水平逐渐升高。基因组DNA的CHG与CHG+CG甲基化水平变化不规律,郑单958基因组DNA的CHG和CG+CHG甲基化均高于对照,先玉335基因组DNA的CHG甲基化均低于对照。郑单958和先玉335的DNA发生甲基化模式变异,郑单958 DNA的CG去甲基化模式变异高于超甲基化,先玉335DNA的CG去甲基化模式变异低于超甲基化。相关性分析表明,种子的活力指标、生理指标与基因组DNA的CG甲基化相关系数较高。

奥利亚罗非鱼（♀）、鳜（♂）及其子代间遗传关系的研究

罗非鱼生长快、味道好,是人们喜爱的鱼类,现已是世界性养殖鱼类,但它不能忍受低温,因此影响其养殖业的进一步发展。鳜则是名贵性鱼类,但其终生摄食活的鱼虾,这也限制了其养殖的发展。奥利亚罗非鱼(Oreochromisaurea)属鲈形目、鲡鱼科,鳜(Sinipercachuatsi)属鲈形目、脂科,它们间的杂交为科间杂交。鱼类科间杂交成功率很低,种间杂交有时可获得具有双亲性状的杂种鱼,有时也可发生雌核发育[1]。本研究中奥利亚罗非鱼雌鱼性染色体为ZW,其卵子如能在鳜精子刺激下行雌核发育,则可在短时间获得奥利亚罗非鱼纯系。在本文中,利用RAPD标记,对…     

Development and evaluation of a loop-mediated isothermal amplification assay for rapid and simple detection of Flavobacterium psychrophilum

Flavobacterium psychrophilum is the causative agent of bacterial cold-water disease and rainbow trout fry syndrome of salmonids. The pathogen has been reported from all regions in the world involved in salmonid aquaculture, but also from natural fresh-water environments. We established a quantitative loop-mediated isothermal amplification of DNA (LAMP) method to estimate quantities of F. psychrophilum . LAMP primers were designed based on the sequence of the DNA topoisomerase IV subunit B gene, parE , of F. psychrophilum. parE LAMP exhibited a high specificity for the parE gene of F. psychrophilum but not for other related species. parE LAMP detected the gene in a wide range of concentrations from 2.0 × 10¹ to 2.0 × 10⁹ copies/reaction within 70 min and revealed a good correlation between threshold times and gene copy number.     

栉孔扇贝、虾夷扇贝及其杂交子代的MSAP分析

运用甲基化敏感扩增多态性(methylation-sensitive amplification polymorphism,MSAP)技术对栉孔扇贝(♀)、虾夷扇贝(♂)及其杂交子一代、子二代基因组DNA胞嘧啶甲基化水平进行了研究,并分析了DNA甲基化与各性状的相关性及其与杂种优势的关系。结果表明,(1)DNA甲基化率与壳宽、总重等表型值呈正相关的关系,而与壳长、壳高、软体重和闭壳肌重4个性状表型值呈负相关的关系,其中闭壳肌重与甲基化率的相关性达到极显著水平(P<0.01);(2)虾夷扇贝、栉孔扇贝、F1代、F2代的总甲基化率分别为32.79%、24.13%、19.98%、20.18%,杂交种F1代的甲基化水平低于双亲,是两种扇贝杂交的结果;F1代的甲基化模式经过了重新调整,其变化相对其亲本主要有4种类型:甲基化水平相同、去甲基化、超甲基化、次甲基化,且去甲基化位点多于超甲基化位点。结果证实杂种优势的产生与杂交种F1代基因组DNA甲基化模式的改变和重新调整有关,丰富了杂种优势机理研究内容。

低温对罗非鱼基因组DNA甲基化的影响

以经过连续多代抗寒选育获得的尼罗罗非鱼耐寒品系为实验材料,采用DNA甲基化敏感扩增多态性(methylation sensitive amplified polymorphism,MSAP)分析方法从全基因组水平上探讨了低温适应对罗非鱼DNA序列中CCGG位点的甲基化水平的影响。结果显示,选用的18对选择性扩增引物共检测到849个位点。耐寒品系检测到的位点数为411个,对照组为438个,其中发生甲基化的位点数分别为72和104个,总甲基化率分别为17.52%和23.74%;全甲基化位点分别为37个和65个,全甲基化率分别为9.00%和14.84%;半甲基化位点分别为35个和39个,半甲基化率分别为8.52%和8.90%。结果分析表明,尼罗罗非鱼耐寒品系的总甲基化水平、全甲基化水平和半甲基化水平较对照组均有一定程度的下降。与对照组相比,尼罗罗非鱼耐寒品系基因组DNA甲基化总体水平下降了6.22%,其中以全甲基化位点变异为主,其下降幅度比例明显,为5.84%。由此可见,经过连续多代的低温胁迫可导致尼罗罗非鱼DNA甲基化水平发生改变,发生了去甲基化反应,表现为基因组甲基化程度降低的特征,说明了DNA甲基化与罗非鱼抗寒性反应密切相关。     

Genetics of neotropical fish: from chromosomes to populations

The Neotropical freshwater fish fauna is very rich—according to the most recent catalogue 71 families and 4,475 species have been described. However, only a small amount of general information is available on the composition of Neotropical marine fishes. In Brazil, 1,298 marine species have been recorded. General analysis of available cytogenetic and population genetic data clearly indicates research has been mainly concentrated on freshwater fishes. Thus, today, cytogenetic information is available for 475 species of Characiformes, 318 species of Siluriformes, 48 species of Gymnotiformes, 199 freshwater species that do not belong to the superorder Ostariophysi, and only 109 species of marine fishes. For the species studied, only about 6% have sex chromosomes and about 5% have supernumerary or B chromosomes. A review of the cytogenetic studies shows that these data have provided valuable information about the relationships between fish groups, the occurrence of cryptic species and species complexes, the mechanism of sex determination and sex chromosome evolution, the distribution of nucleolus organizer regions, the existence supernumerary chromosomes, and the relationship between polyploidy and evolution. In relation to populations in Neotropical marine waters, the studies have shown the presence of cryptic species, which has important implications for fishery management. Different levels of genetic structuring can be found among Neotropical freshwater migratory fish species. This raises important implications for fish population genetic diversity and consequently its sustainable utilization in inland fisheries and aquaculture, specifically for conservation of ichthyo-diversity and survival.
