The result revealed that a relatively small number of genes are likely involved in adaptations of DR and HSR to stresses. A full-length cDNA encoding dTDP-D-glucose dehydratase gene (PcTGD) was subsequently cloned from DR. Northern blot analysis showed that it is highly expressed in stem as well as rhizoma of the three ecotypes. However, its expression in DR stem was much higher than that of the other two ecotypes. After the removal of water stress, the expression of PcTGD was significantly reduced, suggesting that it possibly plays a role in adaptation of DR to water stress through an osmotic regulation mechanism.展开更多
以甘肃省临泽县境内的4种生态型芦苇(Phragmites communis Trin。)的18个样品为材料,采用PCR扩增技术,以通用引物"matK-FF74",和"matK-trnK-2R"扩增matK/trnK序列,对纯化后的产物进行序列测定和分析。序列比对软件...以甘肃省临泽县境内的4种生态型芦苇(Phragmites communis Trin。)的18个样品为材料,采用PCR扩增技术,以通用引物"matK-FF74",和"matK-trnK-2R"扩增matK/trnK序列,对纯化后的产物进行序列测定和分析。序列比对软件为Clustal W,系统发育软件分析为PAUP4b10并用以构建MP和ML发育树和计算遗传距离,外群为芦竹(Arundo donax)。结果表明:matK/trnK序列长为1745～1753 bp,含有91个简约信息位点和120个可变位点,获得3个严格一致树。MP树和ML树共同说明水生芦苇是最古老的类群,它与沙丘芦苇之间的遗传距离最远,重度盐渍过渡型芦苇和轻度盐渍过渡型芦苇属于中间过渡类群。展开更多
