The purpose of the study was to determine the genetic structure and diversity in these eco-geographical populations with eight pair SSR primers of apple. The results indicated that： an average of 16 bands was detected in the four populations. The percentage of polymorphic bands in Gongliu population （89.06%） was the highest in the four populations. The average Nei＇s gene diversity index was 0.257 for all the loci. Totally, 128 polymorphic loci were detected and the percentage of polymorphic loci （P） was 100%, 88.28%, 84.83%, 87.50%, and 87.12%, respectively, at the species level and Gongliu, Xinyuan, Huocheng, and Yumin population levels. The Nei＇s gene diversity index （H = 0.2619） and Shannon＇s information index （1 = 0.4082） in the species level were higher than in the population level. The Nei＇s gene diversity index and Shannon＇s information index in the four populations were Gongliu 〉 Huocheng 〉 Xinyuan 〉 Yumin. Gongliu population and Xinyuan population were the highest in genetic identity and the closest in genetic distance. Gene flow between the populations was 7.265 based on genetic differentiation coefficient （GST = 0.064）. The UPGMA cluster analysis indicated that the genetic relationships between the Gongliu and Xinyuan population were the closest, and the Yumin population were the farthest with the other three populations. The UPGMA cluster analysis indicated that the four geographical populations located in Gongliu, Xinyuan, Huocheng, and Yumin were relatively independent populations. Concurrently, there was also mild gene exchange between the populations. On the basis of the study of population genetic structure and the highest genetic diversity, Gongliu population should be given a high priority consideration in Malus sieversii population＇s in situ germplasm conservation.展开更多

Out of the 22 STS_PCR markers, only three markers gave products which did not generate polymorphic bands upon digestion with Hin fⅠ, Hha Ⅰ, Hae Ⅲ and Rsa Ⅰ, while 19 out of 22 markers (86.4%) and 46 out of 88 marker/enzyme combinations (52.3%) revealed polymorphisms. Among the 32 H. bogdanii accessions, a total of 315 bands were observed in 88 STS_PCR marker/enzyme combinations, with 3.6 bands each. One hundred and twenty_three out of 315 bands (39.0%) were polymorphic, among which 1 to 6 polymorphic bands were generated by each polymorphic marker/enzyme combination. The STS_PCR_based genetic diversity index ( GD ) among 32 H. bogdanii accessions ranged between 0.078 to 0.352, with a mean of 0.198. Based on the GD matrix, a dendrogram showing the genetic relationships between accessions was constructed using the unweighted pair_group method with arithmetic average (UPGMA). Results showed that all 32 accessions could be distinguished by STS_PCR markers. The accessions originated from the same region were distributed within different groups or subgroups. This study indicates that the genetic diversity of H. bogdanii is not closely correlated with the geographical distribution.展开更多

[Method] With the DNA of Xinshikui 6 and its parents as template, about 100 pairs of SSR molecular markers were screened after DNA extraction, PCR amplification and electrophoresis production. [Results] SSR polymorphic primer marker 532 produced a specific band of 469 bp in the female parent, and a specific band of 451 bp in the male parent; primer marker 574 produced a specific band of 364 bp in the female parent, and a specific band of 384 bp in the male parent. The indoor molecular purity identification and field purity identification were consistent with each other. The primer marker 532 and 574 could be obtained from the SSR molecular marker method to distinguish the male parent, female parent and hybrid of Xinshikui 6, and both of the 2 primer markers can effectively identify the purities of the hybrid seeds of Xinshikui 6, as well as the authenticity of the seeds. [Conclusion] The proposed method was simple, fast, accurate to operate with the advantages of high reproducibility, and it had become the major method in the identification of sunflower varieties.展开更多

METHODS: Mothers with positive HBsAg were selected in the third trimester of pregnancy. Their babies received immunoprophylaxis with hepatitis B immunoglobulin and hepatitis B vaccine after birth, and were consecutively followed up for hepatitis B seroiogic markers and HBV DNA at birth, mo 1, 4, 7, 12, and 24. RESULTS: Forty-two babies entered the study, including 16 born to hepatitis B e antigen (HBeAg)-positive HBsAg carrier mothers and 26 to HBeAg-negative HBsAg carrier mothers. Apart from four babies born to HBeAg-positive carrier mothers and demonstrated persistent positive HBeAg eventually became HBV carriers, all other babies developed anti-HBs before 12 mo of age. Among the other 12 babies born to HBeAg-positive carrier mothers, HBeAg was detected in 7 at birth, in 4 at mo 1, and in none of them thereafter. No antibody response to the transplacental HBeAg was detected. Among the babies born to HBeAg-negative carrier mothers, anti-HBe was detected 100% at birth and mo 1, in 88.5% at mo 4, in 46.2% at mo 7, in 4.2% at mo 12 and none in mo 24. Among all the immunoprophylaxis-protected babies born to either HBeAg-positive or HBeAg-negative carrier mothers, anti-HBc was detected in 100% at birth, mo 1 and mo 4, in 78.9% at mo 7, in 36.1% at mo 12 and in none at mo 24. CONCLUSION: HBeAg can pass through human placenta from mother to fetus and become undetectable before 4 mo of age, but no antibodies response to the transplacental HBeAg can be detected till mo 24 in the immunoprophylaxis-protected babies. The sole existence of anti-HBe before 1 year of age or anti-HBc before 2 years of age in babies born to HBsAg carrier mothers may simply represent the transplacental maternal antibodies, instead of indicators of HBV infection status.展开更多

METHODS: Marker genes were initially identified using DNA microarray data from a rat liver fibrosis model. The expression level of each fibrosis associated marker gene was analyzed using reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) in clinical biopsy specimens from HCV-positive patients (n = 61). Analysis of changes in expression patterns and interactions of marker genes in functional categories was used to assess the biological mechanism of fibrosis. RESULTS: The profile data showed several biological changes associated with progression of hepatic fibrosis. Clustered genes in functional categories showed sequential changes in expression. Several sets of clustered genes, including those related to the extracellular matrix (ECM), inflammation, lipid metabolism, steroid metabolism, and some transcription factors important for hepatic biology showed expression changes in the immediate early phase (F1/F2) of fibrosis. Genes associated with aromatic amino acid (AA) metabolism, sulfur-containing AA metabolism and insulin/ Wnt signaling showed expression changes in the middle phase (F2/F3), and some genes related to glucose metabolism showed altered expression in the late phase of fibrosis (F3/F4). Therefore, molecular networks showing serial changes in gene expression are present in liver fibrosis progression in hepatitis C patients. CONCLUSION: Analysis of gene expression profiles from a perspective of functional categories or molecular networks provides an understanding of disease and suggests new diagnostic methods. Selected marker genes have potential utility for biological identification of advanced fibrosis.展开更多

In th...Major histocompatibility complex （MHC） genes are critical members in both innate and adaptive immunity, and the association between their polymorphism and disease resistance has been reported in many teleosts. In the present study, we first investigated the genetic variation at the MHC II β gene in orange-spotted grouper （Epinephelus coioides） after a challenge with Singapore grouper iridovirus （SGIV）. The results reveal that a high polymorphism level of the MHC II β gene （H = 1.000; K = 20.206; π=0.081） and at least three loci exist in grouper. The rate of dN/dS in the peptide-binding region （PBR） and non-PBR were both 〉1, suggesting the loci were evolving under positive selection. A high ratio of heterozygous individuals （37.26 %） and high rate of dN/dS were discovered, suggesting that both heterozygote advantage and frequency-dependent selection might result in the high polymorphism levels in MHC II β genes in grouper. A total of 33 MHC II β alleles were identified from 40 high-susceptibility （HS） and 40 high-re- sistance group （HR） individuals, and 15 alleles were used in the association analysis. Three alleles, EPCO-DBB＊0302, EPCO-DBB＊0307, EPCO-DBB＊0603, and EPCO- DBB＊1001 were significantly associated with resistance ability to SG1V, and the EPCO-DBB＊0607 and EPCO-DBB＊1303 alleles were associated with susceptibility （P 〈 0.05）. To further confirm the association, another independent challenge experiment was performed. The result of association analysis in the verification test found that only EPCO-DBB＊1001 alleles were significantly asso- ciated with resistance to SGIV （P 〈 0.05）, while the other alleles showed no significance （P 〉 0.05） in the frequency distribution between HR and HS groups. Therefore, the EPCO-DBB＊ 1001 alleles could be used as a disease resis- tance-related MHC marker in the molecular marker-assisted selective breeding program of grouper.展开更多
