Seventy SSR loci, evenly distributed in 10 chromosomes, were assayed for polymorphism among 187 commonly used maize (Zea mays L.) inbreds which represent the genetic diversity in China. The identified 290 alleles served as raw data for estimating population structure using the coalescent linked loci, based on the ADMIXTURE model. Population number, K, has been inferred to be between five and seven. Specifying five subpopulations (K = 5) led to a distinct decrease and specifying K to be greater than six resulted in only minimal increases in the likelihood value. Therefore, population number, K, has been inferred into six subpopulations, which are PA, BSSS (includes Reid), PB, Lan (Lancaster Sure Crop), LRC (Luda Reb Cob, a Chinese landrace, and its derivatives), and SPT (Si-ping-tou, a Chinese landrace and its derivatives). The Kullback-Leibler distance of pairwise subpopulation was also inferred as n × p (187 ×6) Q matrices, which gave a detailed percentage of genetic composition of six subpopulations and molecular relatedness of each line. The genome-wide linkage disequilibrium (LD) indicated that the asso- ciation studies in QTLs and/or candidate genes might avoid nonfunctional and spurious associations, as most of the LD blocks were broken among diverse germplasm. The defined population structure has given us a clear genetic structure of these lines for breeding practice and established a good basis for association analysis.展开更多

Tzvel accessions from different regions in China were generated and their genomic DNA variations were assayed via amplified fragment length polymorphism (AFLP). A total of 537 DNA fragments were amplified ranging from 75-530 bp using 8 AFLP primer combinations, among which 89 (16.6%) were monomorphic and 329 (61.3%) were polymorphic. The average number of DNA band produced by each primer combination was 66.13 and the total polymorphic rate was 78.84%. PICs (polymorphic information contents) scores for AFLP ranged from 0.0-0.5 and the mean PIC was 0.216. PIC scores were maximum (0.5) for 8.5% of the AFLP markers. All the results revealed that there was rich polymorphism in genomic DNA of L. chinensis . A DNA molecular dendrogram was established for 27 L. chinensis genotypes based on genetic variation and UPGMA cluster analysis of 537 AFLP markers amplified by 8 primer combination, suggesting that the genetic variation with high frequency showed close correlation with their ecotopes and geographical distributions. Twenty_seven L. chinensis genotypes could be divided into four groups. Among them the lower genetic relationship was shown. The reason of high genetic variation frequency in L. chinensis species and formation of varieties was discussed.展开更多

A total of 236 loci were generated from 17 ISSR primers. Percentage of polymorphic bands (PPB) varied from 5.93 to 19.92. The highest and the lowest level of genetic differentiation were detected in B. ovalifolia and B. maximowicziana Regel respectively. In these eight species, genetic diversity of birch (HT) was 24.38 %, and the genetic variation (GST ) interspecies was accounting for 79.36% of total genetic variation. According to the cluster results of genetic distance, the eight species were classified into three groups as B. davurica, B. ovalifolia, B. platyphylla and B. pendula for one group; B. schmidtii, B. costata and B. ermanii Cham. var. communis for one group, and B. maximowicziana Regel for another group. The result of cluster is consistent with traditional morphological classification.展开更多

Certain new karyotypes were described for the first time, and their evolutionary and interspecific genetic relationships among 8 subgroups of D. melanogaster species group were analyzed systematically. The results were as follows. The basic karyotype of elegans subgroup was type A. The karyotypes of eugracilis subgroup, melanogaster subgroup, and ficusphila subgroup were all type C. The karyotypes of takahashii subgroup and suzukii subgroup were both type C and type D. The montium subgroup had six kinds of karyotypes types B, C, C', D, D', and E. The ananassae subgroup had three kinds of karyotypes: types F, G, and H. Thus, the melanogaster species group was classified into five pedigrees based on the diversity of these karyotypes: 1) elegans; 2) eugracilis-melanogasterficusphila; 3) takkahashii-suzukii; 4) montium; 5) ananassae. The above-mentioned results in karyotypic evolution were consistent with those of DNA sequence analysis reported by Yang except for the elegans subgroup and this subgroup was considered as the ancestral subgroup. Karyotype analysis of the same drosophila from different isofemale lines indicated that the same Drosophila from different places showed karyotypic variation which might be due to different geographical environment and evolutionary degree or interaction between the two factors.展开更多

[Method] The inter-simple se- quence repeat (ISSR) markers were applied to analyze the genetic diversity and relationships among 30 individual plants from 5 types of P. domestica germpiasm resources in Xinjiang. [Result] A total of 317 bands were amplified by 16 selected IS- SR primers. Among the amplified bands, there were 246 polymorphic bands, accounting for 77.60% of the total. The Nei's gene diversity index (H) of individuals was 0.266 6. The average Shannon's information index (I) of individuals was 0.399 1. And most of the genetic similarity coefficients ranged from 0.555 2 to 0.996 8. It is indicated that the P. domestica germplasm resources have a certain genetic diversity in Xinjiang. The cluster analysis showed that, at the genetic similarity coefficient of 0.719, the 30 individuals were divided into 3 major groups, including a group of introduced European plum varieties, a group of Tacheng Smoked Plum and Tacheng Binzi and a group of Jiashi Smoked Plum and Wild European Plum. While at the genetic similarity coefficient of 0.949, Jiashi Smoked Plum and Wild European Plum were divided into two small groups. [Conclusion] There are very close genetic relationships between Jiashi Smoked Plum and Wild European Plum, and among the introduced European plum varieties, Tacheng Smoked Plum and Tacheng Binzi.展开更多

[Method] A PCR-reaction system was established, by which 33 pairs of primers screened from 45 pairs were used to con- duct the PCR amplification. [Results] The 33 pairs of primers produced 2 047 ampli- fied fragments, of which 2 044 were polymorphic, with a polymorphism rate of 99.8%, and each pair of primers produced 61.9 polymorphic fragments on average. The genetic similarity coefficients between species ranged from 0.081 to 0.442, sug- gesting that the experimental materials used in this study possess a wide genetic background. According to the result of RSAP, the 33 Dendrobium species were di- vided into 6 groups by the cluster analysis (UPGMA). The result showed that the genetic relationship between D. acinaciforme and D. guangxiense was the closest, and that between D. sinense and either D. lituiflorum or D. hancockii was the fur- thest. [Conclusion] The result suggested that Dendrobium germplasms have a great genetic diversity. This study provides a molecular basis for the classification and breeding of Dendrobium plants, as well as the selection of hybridization parents in the future.展开更多

The results showed that the ratio of polymorphic loci was 61.29%, and Nei's gene diversity was 0.375 6, and Shannon's information index was 0.554 5 among purple crab individuals; and the ratio of polymorphic loci was 62.44%, and Nei's gene diversity was 0.3451, and Shannon's information index was 0.5099 among tea-green crab individuals. It was clear that the genetic diversity between purple and tea-green crabs was similar, which indicated close phylogenetic relationships between the purple and tea-green crabs. In addition, two primers (SBS A09 and SBS G16) got specific DNA bands by comparing forty individuals of color-different crab individuals through RAPD-PCR analysis and the following electrophoresis. They indicated close phylogenetic relationships between purple and tea-green crabs.展开更多

All the seven microsatellite loci were compatible with Mendelian inheritance. Neither sex-linked barriers to transmission nor major barriers to fertilization between gametes from the parents were evident. Two of the seven loci showed the presence of null alleles in two families,suggesting the need to conduct comprehensive species-specific inheritance studies for microsatellite loci used in population genetic studies. However,even if the null allele heterozygotes were considered as homozygotes in the calculation of genetic distance,offspring from four families were all unambiguously discriminated in the neighbor-joining dendrogram. This result indicates that the microsatellite markers used may be capable of discriminating between related and unrelated scallop larvae in the absence of pedigree information,and of investigating the effective number of parents contributing to the hatchery population of the Japanese scallop.展开更多

Thirteen loci were found to express polymorphisms ranging from two to 17 alleles. The eight most variable loci were selected to set up and optimize two multiplex polymerase chain reaction (PCR) assays. Three populations containing altogether 436 trees were used to characterize the selected loci and ascertain their applicability for parentage analysis and genotyping studies. Through cross-checking of clonal identity against sex of the genotyped trees we estimated the maximum error rate for merging genotypes to be less than 0.045.展开更多

The number ofpolymorphic sites ranged from 79 to 102 while the genetic distances ranged from 0.058 to 0.095. The number of polymorphic sites, genetic distances and phylogenetic relationships among R. ferrugineus and the other four tested species revealed that R.ferrugineus was more closely related to R. bilineatus while it was distantly related to R. palmarum. It is possible to rank the five tested species as follows: R.ferrugineus, R. bilineatus, R. phoenicis, R. cruentatus and R. palmarum. The result of this study is the first step of the revision of the uncertain taxonomic status and phylogenetic relationships among the Rhynchophorus genus. Further analysis should be performed using other Rhynchophorus species as well as other molecular markers.展开更多

文摘Mitotic metaphase chromosomes of 34 species of Drosophila melanogaster species group were examined. Certain new karyotypes were described for the first time, and their evolutionary and interspecific genetic relationships among 8 subgroups of D. melanogaster species group were analyzed systematically. The results were as follows. The basic karyotype of elegans subgroup was type A. The karyotypes of eugracilis subgroup, melanogaster subgroup, and ficusphila subgroup were all type C. The karyotypes of takahashii subgroup and suzukii subgroup were both type C and type D. The montium subgroup had six kinds of karyotypes types B, C, C', D, D', and E. The ananassae subgroup had three kinds of karyotypes: types F, G, and H. Thus, the melanogaster species group was classified into five pedigrees based on the diversity of these karyotypes: 1) elegans; 2) eugracilis-melanogasterficusphila; 3) takkahashii-suzukii; 4) montium; 5) ananassae. The above-mentioned results in karyotypic evolution were consistent with those of DNA sequence analysis reported by Yang except for the elegans subgroup and this subgroup was considered as the ancestral subgroup. Karyotype analysis of the same drosophila from different isofemale lines indicated that the same Drosophila from different places showed karyotypic variation which might be due to different geographical environment and evolutionary degree or interaction between the two factors.
文摘[Objective] This paper aimed to explore the genetic relationships among different types of Prunus domestica L. in Xinjiang. [Method] The inter-simple se- quence repeat (ISSR) markers were applied to analyze the genetic diversity and relationships among 30 individual plants from 5 types of P. domestica germpiasm resources in Xinjiang. [Result] A total of 317 bands were amplified by 16 selected IS- SR primers. Among the amplified bands, there were 246 polymorphic bands, accounting for 77.60% of the total. The Nei's gene diversity index (H) of individuals was 0.266 6. The average Shannon's information index (I) of individuals was 0.399 1. And most of the genetic similarity coefficients ranged from 0.555 2 to 0.996 8. It is indicated that the P. domestica germplasm resources have a certain genetic diversity in Xinjiang. The cluster analysis showed that, at the genetic similarity coefficient of 0.719, the 30 individuals were divided into 3 major groups, including a group of introduced European plum varieties, a group of Tacheng Smoked Plum and Tacheng Binzi and a group of Jiashi Smoked Plum and Wild European Plum. While at the genetic similarity coefficient of 0.949, Jiashi Smoked Plum and Wild European Plum were divided into two small groups. [Conclusion] There are very close genetic relationships between Jiashi Smoked Plum and Wild European Plum, and among the introduced European plum varieties, Tacheng Smoked Plum and Tacheng Binzi.

文摘[Objective] This study aimed to analyse the genetic diversity of and genet- ic relationship between 33 Dendrobium species by using RSAP (Restriction Site Amplification Polymorphism) marker technique. [Method] A PCR-reaction system was established, by which 33 pairs of primers screened from 45 pairs were used to con- duct the PCR amplification. [Results] The 33 pairs of primers produced 2 047 ampli- fied fragments, of which 2 044 were polymorphic, with a polymorphism rate of 99.8%, and each pair of primers produced 61.9 polymorphic fragments on average. The genetic similarity coefficients between species ranged from 0.081 to 0.442, sug- gesting that the experimental materials used in this study possess a wide genetic background. According to the result of RSAP, the 33 Dendrobium species were di- vided into 6 groups by the cluster analysis (UPGMA). The result showed that the genetic relationship between D. acinaciforme and D. guangxiense was the closest, and that between D. sinense and either D. lituiflorum or D. hancockii was the fur- thest. [Conclusion] The result suggested that Dendrobium germplasms have a great genetic diversity. This study provides a molecular basis for the classification and breeding of Dendrobium plants, as well as the selection of hybridization parents in the future.

文摘The blue swimming crabs Portunus trituberculatus with tea-green and/or purple carapace color have been discovered on the shore of eastern part of China these days, In this paper, 40 color-different crab individuals were evaluated using 80 RAPD primers. 30 primers were selected using bulk segregation analysis (BSA) and RAPD-PCR analysis. The results showed that the ratio of polymorphic loci was 61.29%, and Nei's gene diversity was 0.375 6, and Shannon's information index was 0.554 5 among purple crab individuals; and the ratio of polymorphic loci was 62.44%, and Nei's gene diversity was 0.3451, and Shannon's information index was 0.5099 among tea-green crab individuals. It was clear that the genetic diversity between purple and tea-green crabs was similar, which indicated close phylogenetic relationships between the purple and tea-green crabs. In addition, two primers (SBS A09 and SBS G16) got specific DNA bands by comparing forty individuals of color-different crab individuals through RAPD-PCR analysis and the following electrophoresis. They indicated close phylogenetic relationships between purple and tea-green crabs.

文摘[Objective] This study aimed to analyze the genetic relationship of the Carthamus tinctorius L(safflower) varieties in Xinjiang, and thus to provide a scientific basis for its protection and development. [Method] The genomic DNA of five safflower varieties from Xinjiang and one from Yunnan were analyzed and compared by SRAP molecular marker. [Result] Twelve pairs of SRAP primers were selected to amplify the genomic DNA of the six materials. Among the 171 clear DNA bands finally obtained, 93 were polymorphic, accounting for 54.4% of total. Genetic similarity coefficient of the six safflower varieties ranged from 0.60 to 0.92. [Conclusion]SRAP molecular marker is suitable for safflower varieties research and to guide the molecular breeding.

文摘The taxonomy of Coilia has been extensively studied in China,and yet phylogenetic relationships among component taxa remain controversial.We used a PCR-based fingerprinting technique,amplified fragment length polymorphism(AFLP) to characterize and identify all four species of Coilia in China.We examined the genetic relationships of the four species of Coilia and a subspecies of Coilia nasus with AFLP.A total of 180 AFLP loci were generated from six primer combinations,of which 76.11% were polymorphic.The mean genetic distance between pairs of taxa ranged from 0.047 to 0.596.The neighbor-joining tree and UPGMA dendrogram resolved the investigated species into three separate lineages:(1) C.mystus,(2) C.grayii and(3) C.brachygnathus,C.nasus,and C.nasus taihuensis.Phylogenetic analysis of the AFLP data is inconsistent with current morphological taxonomic systems.The AFLP data indicated a close relationship among C.brachygnathus,C.nasus taihuensis,and C.nasus.Therefore,the two species described under Coilia(C.brachygnathus and C.nasus taihuensis) are treated as synonyms of C.nasus.

文摘The inheritance mode of seven microsatellite markers was investigated in Patinopecten yessoensis larvae from four con-trolled crosses,and the feasibility of using these markers for kinship estimation was also examined. All the seven microsatellite loci were compatible with Mendelian inheritance. Neither sex-linked barriers to transmission nor major barriers to fertilization between gametes from the parents were evident. Two of the seven loci showed the presence of null alleles in two families,suggesting the need to conduct comprehensive species-specific inheritance studies for microsatellite loci used in population genetic studies. However,even if the null allele heterozygotes were considered as homozygotes in the calculation of genetic distance,offspring from four families were all unambiguously discriminated in the neighbor-joining dendrogram. This result indicates that the microsatellite markers used may be capable of discriminating between related and unrelated scallop larvae in the absence of pedigree information,and of investigating the effective number of parents contributing to the hatchery population of the Japanese scallop.

文摘Eighteen microsatellite primer pairs previously developed at Oak Ridge National Laboratory for Populus tremuloides Michx. and Populus trichocarpa Torr. & Gray were screened for amplification in Euphrates poplar, Populus euphratica Oliv. Thirteen loci were found to express polymorphisms ranging from two to 17 alleles. The eight most variable loci were selected to set up and optimize two multiplex polymerase chain reaction (PCR) assays. Three populations containing altogether 436 trees were used to characterize the selected loci and ascertain their applicability for parentage analysis and genotyping studies. Through cross-checking of clonal identity against sex of the genotyped trees we estimated the maximum error rate for merging genotypes to be less than 0.045.

文摘Osmanthus fragrans is well-known as an ornamental and agricultural plant noted for its unique fragrance.We investigated the genetic relationships between two new colorful O.fragrans cultivars,Ziyan Gongzhu and Qiannan Guifei,and their relationships with other O.fragrans using amplified fragment length polymorphism(AFLP)and simple sequence repeat(SSR),compared to the Changye Muxi species.55 AFLP primer pairs and 17 SSRs were screened;1103 and 45 amplification products were produced,of which 92.29%of the AFLP and 62.20%of the SSRs were polymorphic.At the population level,the number of effective alleles varied from 0.76 to 1.11,and the Shannon index(I)ranged from 0 to 0.11,indicating a narrow genetic base of O.fragrans cultivars.The genetic similarity varied from 0.61 to 0.80 between Ziyan Gongzhu and other O.fragrans cultivars,and 0.57 to 0.67 in the Qiannan Guifei and other cultivars.The unweighted pair group method with arithmetic mean(UPGMA)clustering revealed that Ziyan Gongzhu may belong to the O.fragrans Albus group.However,the Qiannan Guifei cultivar was clustered into a group,showing that it has great genetic variation.These results provide new molecular evidence for germplasm resources protection,and new cultivars for breeding.
文摘Genetic comparison between Rhynchophorus ferrugineus (Coleoptera: Curculionidae: Rhynchophorinae) and other four Rhynchophorus spp. such as R. bilineatus, R. phoenicis, R. cruentatus and R. palmarum was investigated using partial sequences of Cytochrome c oxidase subunit I (COl) mitochondrial gene. The number ofpolymorphic sites ranged from 79 to 102 while the genetic distances ranged from 0.058 to 0.095. The number of polymorphic sites, genetic distances and phylogenetic relationships among R. ferrugineus and the other four tested species revealed that R.ferrugineus was more closely related to R. bilineatus while it was distantly related to R. palmarum. It is possible to rank the five tested species as follows: R.ferrugineus, R. bilineatus, R. phoenicis, R. cruentatus and R. palmarum. The result of this study is the first step of the revision of the uncertain taxonomic status and phylogenetic relationships among the Rhynchophorus genus. Further analysis should be performed using other Rhynchophorus species as well as other molecular markers.
