The genomic DNAs used in our experiment were extracted from fresh leaves taken from 59 individuals sampled from three natural populations in Yan An, Shanxi Province. Through more than 2,000 PCRs, deep-going RAPD analysis was carried out on DNA samples from 49 inviduals. The percentage of polymorphic RAPD loci found in these three populations were respectively 27.2 %, 18.6 % and 5.4 %; the average genetic distances within population, 0.055, 0.036 and 0.008; the average genetic distances between populations (Ⅰ-Ⅱ), (Ⅰ-Ⅲ) and (Ⅱ-Ⅲ), 0.105, 0.096 and 0.060. The genetic diversity of A. brachypus within and between populations was found, for the first time, to be rather poor,thus revealing innate factors as the cause contributing to its endangered status. In addition, our work also provides basic materials for elucidating the underlying cause of its endangerment and for its protection biology.展开更多

In addition to the 1428 bp coding region encoding 475 amino acids of the gene, 278 bp upstream and 218 bp downstream were also sequenced. Possible ctpl and ctp2, equivalent to prokaryotic-35 and -10 elements, were found as TTGCGC and TACAAT respectively. The 5' untranslated leader region is 194 bp and the putative ribosome binding site in this region is GGAGG,located immediately upstream of the start codon. The 3' unrtanslated region contains two inverted repeat sequences, which in the mRNA might form stem-loop structures. The homology of rbcL amino acid sequence between A. brachypus and tobacco, spinach, pea, alfalfa, maize, rice, pine,Marchantia, Chlamydomonas and Anacystis are, respectively 93.05%,94.11%, 94.53%,89.68%, 92.21%, 2.21%, 92.63%, 87.58% and 80.84%.The promoter regions and part of the 5', 3' non-coding regions of rbcL from various plants were compared.展开更多
