白皮小麦抗穗发芽资源评价及抗性候选位点关联分析

白皮小麦皮薄且胚乳相对含量及出粉率高,较红皮小麦更受农户和企业青睐,但也更易发生穗发芽。为了给抗穗发芽机理研究及抗性育种提供参考,本研究首先在7个不同环境条件下对来自世界主要小麦产区的502个白皮小麦材料进行穗发芽抗性鉴定和评价,然后对白皮小麦穗发芽抗性进行位点关联分析。穗发芽抗性鉴定结果表明,502个白皮小麦材料中,仅1.39%的材料平均发芽率小于40%,其中Osiris（埃及）、Vilmorin 29（法国）、Miana（法国）、Kanto 107（日本）、Darwin（德国）、Magnif MG（阿根廷）和Benefactress（英国）具有在多个环境下稳定的穗发芽抗性。利用与小麦穗发芽抗性紧密连锁的236对标记筛选到202个多样性位点,依据遗传结构将白皮小麦群体分为3类（K=3）时,分别有40.92%、30.03%和29.04%的材料分在三个亚群中,当K=6时群体结构趋于稳定,同时发现,非洲的材料群体结构单一,而来自其他地区的材料遗传结构更复杂。结合穗发芽表型与K=3~6时的遗传结构数据对具有代表性的303个白皮小麦材料进行关联分析,通过平均值与各环境值分别关联到4个与15个在白皮小麦群体中与穗发芽抗性相关的等位变异位点。其中, Xwmc24.2-1A、 Xcfd44.1-2D、 Xbarc321.2-3A、 Xgwm397.1-4A和 Xwmc75.1-5B能够在不同环境中关联到,为较稳定的白皮小麦抗穗发芽位点。

An 8bp indel in exon 1 of Ghrelin gene associated with chicken growth

Ghrelin, acts as the endogenous ligand for growth hormone secretagogues receptor (GHS-R), is a novel growth hormone (GH) releasing peptide with reported effects on food intake in chickens. In this study, an 8 bp indel polymorphism in exon 1 of the chicken Ghrelin (cGHRL) gene was genotyped in a F(2) designed full-sib population to analyze its associations with chicken growth and carcass traits. Later, mRNA level in the proventriculus was determined by real-time PCR to reveal the expression feature of cGHRL gene. Result showed that this 8 bp indel was significantly associated with body weight at the age of 28 days (BW28) and 56 days (BW56), eviscerated weight (EW) and leg muscle weight (LMW) (P<0.05), highly significantly associated with hatch weight (HW), BW14, 21, 35, 42, 49, 90 and body length (BL), dressed weight (DW), eviscerated weight with giblet (EWG), wing weight (WW), breast muscle weight (BMW) and head and neck weight (HNW) (P<0.01). Meanwhile, A allele (with 'CTAACCTG') was positive for chicken growth as individuals with AA genotype had the highest value of all traits. Analysis on cGhrelin mRNA level revealed that it differed significantly among individuals with three genotypes (P<0.05). Individuals with AB genotype had the highest mRNA level, whereas that of AA had the lowest one. It was concluded that this 8 bp indel of cGHRL gene was significantly associated with most body weight and body composition traits, and negative effect of endogenous Ghrelin on chicken growth were indicated by this study.     

大豆种质资源叶型和荚粒性状的关系及与SSR标记的关联分析

选用167份国内外大豆品种资源材料,依据叶长/宽比值将其划分为宽叶型和窄叶型, 分析叶型相关性状与荚粒性状的相关性,结果表明叶宽、叶长/宽比均与每荚粒数显著相关(r = –0.69和0.64,P<0.001)。选用均匀分布于大豆20条连锁群上的65个SSR标记分析资源材料的群体结构,并用目标区间内13个SSR标记与叶型相关性状和荚粒性状进行关联分析, 结果显示,标记20-285与每荚粒数显著关联,推测控制每荚粒数的基因可能位于标记20-285附近;标记20-26和20-45间的标记几乎都与叶长/宽比存在显著的关联性,推测控制叶型的基因位于标记20-26和20-45之间。相关分析和关联分析证实大豆叶型与荚粒性状存在密切关系,并缩小了每荚粒数和叶型候选基因的区间。     

Combined mutations in five wheat STARCH BRANCHING ENZYME II genes improve resistant starch but affect grain yield and bread-making quality

Increases in the proportion of amylose in the starch of wheat grains result in higher levels of resistant starch, a fermentable dietary fiber associated with human health benefits. The objective of this study was to assess the effect of combined mutations in five STARCH BRANCHING ENZYME II (SBEII) genes on starch composition, grain yield and bread-making quality in two hexaploid wheat varieties. Significantly higher amylose (∼60%) and resistant starch content (10-fold) was detected in the SBEII mutants than in the wild-type controls. Mutant lines showed a significant decrease in total starch (6%), kernel weight (3%) and total grain yield (6%). Effects of the mutations in bread-making quality included increases in grain hardness, starch damage, water absorption and flour protein content; and reductions in flour extraction, farinograph development and stability times, starch viscosity, and loaf volume. Several traits showed significant interactions between genotypes, varieties, and environments, suggesting that some of the negative impacts of the combined SBEII mutations can be ameliorated by adequate selection of genetic background and growing location. The deployment of wheat varieties with increased resistant starch will likely require economic incentives to compensate growers and millers for the significant reductions detected in grain and flour yields.
