It covered a total of 2 665. 7 cM with an average interval of 7. 6 cM. AFLP marker is efficient for map construction while it easily forms clusters to cause big gaps in map. A total of 13.92 % abnormal segregation markers distributed in the map. The molecular genetic map is fundamental for gene localization, comparative genomics, and QTL mapping of important agronomic traits.展开更多

In the present study, we constructed antisense-silenced plants of BcMF19 using B. campestris ssp. chinensis to validate this prediction. The morphology of the pistils, long anthers, and short anthers was significantly affected in 35sbcmf19 compared with the control samples. 4＇-6-Diamidino-2-phenylindole staining revealed that two generative nuclei and one large vegetative nucleus were not affected in the mutant compared with control. Statistical analysis of Alexander＇s staining results showed that 96% of the control pollen grains had vitality, whereas only 86% of the mutant pollen grains did. Under scanning electron microscopy, the mutant demonstrated numerous abnormal pollen grains and resembled dried persimmon. The frequency of normal pollen grains was approximately 18%. Under transmission electron microscopy, the pollen intine during the binucleate and mature pollen stages in 35sbcmf19 exhibited abnormal thickening, especially at the germinal furrows, compared with control. In vitro pollen germination test showed that the tips of the mutant pollen tubes transformed into globular alveoli and stopped growing compared with control. On the other hand, in vivo pollen germination test suggested that BcMF19 affected the pollen tube extension in the pistil. These findings indicate that BcMF19 is essential to the pollen development and pollen tube extension orB. campestris ssp. chinensis.展开更多

However, there is little information available about the expression patterns of mi RNAs and their targets in Chinese cabbage(Brassica rapa ssp. pekinensis) under Plasmodiophora brassicae stress. In the present study, using deep sequencing and degradome analysis, a genome-wide identification of mi RNAs and their targets during P. brassicae stress was performed. A total of 221 known and 93 potentially novel mi RNAs were successfully identified from two root libraries of one control(635-10CK) and P. brassicae-treated Chinese cabbage samples(635-10T). Of these, 14 known and 10 potentially novel mi RNAs were found to be differentially expressed after P. brassicae treatment. Degradome analysis revealed that the 223 target genes of the 75 mi RNAs could be potentially cleaved. KEGG(Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes)pathway analysis suggested that the putative target genes of the mi RNAs were predominately involved in selenocompound metabolism and plant hormone signal transduction. Then the expression of 12 mi RNAs was validated by quantitative real-time PCR(q RT-PCR). These results provide insights into the mi RNA-mediated regulatory networks underlying the stress response to the plant pathogen P. brassicae.展开更多
