The size of the cDNA fragment is 1 080 bp, which almost covers the whole cDNA_encoding region. Authors’ cDNA fragment in P. tomentosa shares 98.7% homology with the reported corresponding cDNA in the P. tremuloids at nucleotide level, 99.4% homology at amino acid level, respectively. The analysis of Northern dot hybridization showed that COMT is expressed specifically in the developing secondary xylem of stem during the season of xylem differentiation, which means the linkage between the gene expression for a monolignol biosynthetic enzyme and seasonal regulation of xylem development in woody plant.展开更多
To investigate the levels of polymorphisms and Mendelian segregation ratio in clone “TB01” (P. tomentosa×P. bolleana) ×clone “LM50” (P. tomentosa) BC 1 population at the entire genome level, ampl...To investigate the levels of polymorphisms and Mendelian segregation ratio in clone “TB01” (P. tomentosa×P. bolleana) ×clone “LM50” (P. tomentosa) BC 1 population at the entire genome level, amplified fragment length polymorphisms (AFLPs) analysis was conducted for both parents and 120 progenies. Forty one pairs of selective primers were used to detect 2?707 bands, of which 712 (26.4%) were polymorphic. Chi\|square tests were performed to examine if the observed genotypic frequencies of AFLP loci deviated from expected 1∶1 Mendelian segregation ratio ( P <0.01) in BC 1 population. Among the 712 loci 571 (80.2%) fit to Mendelian 1∶1 segregation ratio, corresponding to DNA polymorphisms heterozygous in one parent and a null in the other. The result shows that the AFLP markers are very suitable for fingerprinting and genetic mapping in the Chinese white poplar (Populus tomentosa Carr.).展开更多
