Another species, A. cathayana Fu et al., one of six important dry fruits (kernel-using apricot), is cultivated for its edible seeds in North China. In the present study, DNA from 70 individuals of A rmeniaca, including 38 of A. cathayana, 18 ofA. vulgaris, 12 ofA. sibirica, 1 ofA. dasycarpa and 1 of A. mume, was extracted and analyzed using microsatellites and capillary electrophoresis. For 20 polymorphic loci selected, 339 alleles and 140.7 effective alleles were detected. The number of alleles per locus ranged from 8 to 28, with an average of 16.95 alleles per locus. The observed heterozygosity (Ho) and the expected heterozygosity (He) ranged from 0.427 to 0.971 and from 0.737 to 0.912, respectively. The polymorphism information content varied from 0.708 to0.905, with an average of 0.827. Based on the genetic similarity among 70 individuals, a UPGMA was used to establish the phylogenetic relationships. The taxonomic positions among five species were clearly revealed, and A. cathayana was more closely related to A. vulgaris than to A. sibirica. The results will provide a scientific basis for research on the taxonomy, germplasm resources and breeding ofArmeniaca, especially for A. cathayana.展开更多

In this study, 838 R2 R3-MYB genes were identified from six Rosaceae species, including 105 in woodland strawberry(Fragaria vesca), 173 in European pear(Pyrus communis), 219 in apple(Malus domestica), 121 in peach(Prunus persica), 121 in Chinese rose(Rosa chinensis), and 99 in black raspberry(Rubus occidentalis). All R2 R3-MYB genes in the six Rosaceae species were clustered into 51 species-specific duplicated clades with 109 genes and 50 lineage-specific duplicated clades with 242 genes according to phylogenetic analysis. R2 R3-MYB genes were distributed on all chromosomes in each of the six species, with a small amount of tandem duplication events. The proportion of tandem repeat genes ranged from 0 to 25.1%. The R2 R3-MYB protein was conserved in a clade and likely to share similar functions. The distribution of Ks showed the duplication times of R2 R3-MYB genes in six Rosaceae species. Furthermore, most of the R2 R3-MYB genes had Ka/Ks values less than 1, which indicated they were driven by purifying selection during the evolutionary processes. The GO term enrichment analysis revealed that R2 R3-MYB genes in strawberry and black raspberry were more divergent than in other Rosaceae species. Analysis of transcriptomes of 42 different tissues and development stages of woodland strawberry showed that high expression levels of R2 R3-MYB suggested that the R2 R3-MYB genes in strawberry played a key role in growth and development of both vegetative tissues and fruits. The strawberry R2 R3-MYB genes in sub-group of S1, S2, S11, S20, and S22 had high expression levels both in young leaves(YL) and old leaves(OL) strawberry tissues under drought treatments.展开更多

The two data sets are congruent in that the genera Prunus s.l. and Maddenia form a monophyletic group, with Maddenia nested within Prunus. However, the ndhF data set is incongruent with the ITS data supporting two major groups within Prunus: one consisting of subgenera Laurocerasus (including Pygeum) and Padus as well as the genus Maddenia and another of subgenera Amygdalus, Cerasus, and Prunus. The ITS data, on the other hand, support a clade composed of subgenera Amygdalus and Prunus and Prunus sect. Microcerasus in addition to a paraphyletic grade of subgenera Laurocerasus and Padus (and the genus Maddenia) taxa. In general, the subgeneric classifications of Prunus s.l. are not supported. The ITS and ndhF phylogenies differ mainly in interspecific relationships and the relative position of the Padus/Laurocerasus group. Both ITS and ndhF data sets suggest that the formerly recog-nized genus Pygeum is polyphyletic and that the distinction of the subgenera Padus and Laurocerasus is not supported. The biogeographic interactions of the temperate and tropical members in the Padus/Laurocera- sus/Maddenia alliance including Pygeum are shown to be highly dynamic and complex.展开更多

文摘Rosaceae represents a vast and complex group of species,with its classification being intricate and contentious.The taxonomic placement of many species within this family has been a subject of ongoing debate.The study utilized the Illumina platform to sequence 19 plant species from 10 genera in the Rosaceae.The cp genomes,vary-ing in size from 153,366 to 159,895 bp,followed the typical quadripartite organization consisting of a large single-copy(LSC)region(84,545 to 87,883 bp),a small single-copy(SSC)region(18,174 to 19,259 bp),and a pair of inverted repeat(IR)regions(25,310 to 26,396 bp).These genomes contained 132–138 annotated genes,including 87 to 93 protein-coding genes(PCGs),37 tRNA genes,and 8 rRNA genes using MISA software,52 to 121 simple sequence repeat(SSR)loci were identified.D.arbuscular contained the least of SSRs and did not have hexanotides,A.lineata contained the richest SSRs.Long terminal repeats(LTRs)were primarily composed of palindromic and forward repeat sequences,meanwhile,The richest LTRs were found in Argentina lineata.Except for Argentina lineata,Fragariastrum eriocarpum,and Prunus trichostoma,which varied in gene type and position on both sides of the boundary,the remaining species were found to be mostly conserved according to IR boundary analysis.The examination of the Ka/Ks ratio revealed that only the infA gene had a value greater than 1,indicating that this gene was primarily subjected to positive selection during evolution.Additionally,9 hotspots of variation were identified in the LSC and SSC regions.Phylogenetic analysis confirmed the scientific validity of the genus Prunus L.sensu lato(s.l.)within the Rosaceae family.The separation of the three genera Argentina Hill,Fragariastrum Heist.ex Fabr.and Dasiphora Raf.from Potentilla L.may be a more scientific classification.These results offer fresh perspectives on the taxonomy of the Rosaceae.

文摘Prunus is an economically important genus widely distributed in the temperate Northern Hemisphere.Previous studies on the genus using a variety of loci yielded conflicting phylogenetic hypotheses.Here,we generated nuclear reduced representation sequencing data and plastid genomes for 36 Prunus individuals and two outgroups.Both nuclear and plastome data recovered a well-resolved phylogeny.The species were divided into three main clades corresponding to their inflorescence types,-the racemose group,the solitary-flower group and the corymbose group-with the latter two sister to one another.Prunus was inferred to have diversified initially in the Late Cretaceous around 67.32 million years ago.The diversification of the three major clades began between the Paleocene and Miocene,suggesting that paleoclimatic events were an important driving force for Prunus diversification.Ancestral state reconstructions revealed that the most recent common ancestor of Prunus had racemose inflorescences,and the solitary-flower and corymb inflorescence types were derived by reduction of flower number and suppression of the rachis,respectively.We also tested the hybrid origin hypothesis of the racemose group proposed in previous studies.Prunus has undergone extensive hybridization events,although it is difficult to identify conclusively specific instances of hybridization when using SNP data,especially deep in the phylogeny.Our study provides well-resolved nuclear and plastid phylogenies of Prunus,reveals substantial cytonuclear discord at shallow scales,and sheds new light on inflorescence evolution in this economically important lineage.

文摘R2R3-MYB gene family play important roles in plants development, metabolism, and responses to various biotic and abiotic stresses. In this study, 838 R2 R3-MYB genes were identified from six Rosaceae species, including 105 in woodland strawberry(Fragaria vesca), 173 in European pear(Pyrus communis), 219 in apple(Malus domestica), 121 in peach(Prunus persica), 121 in Chinese rose(Rosa chinensis), and 99 in black raspberry(Rubus occidentalis). All R2 R3-MYB genes in the six Rosaceae species were clustered into 51 species-specific duplicated clades with 109 genes and 50 lineage-specific duplicated clades with 242 genes according to phylogenetic analysis. R2 R3-MYB genes were distributed on all chromosomes in each of the six species, with a small amount of tandem duplication events. The proportion of tandem repeat genes ranged from 0 to 25.1%. The R2 R3-MYB protein was conserved in a clade and likely to share similar functions. The distribution of Ks showed the duplication times of R2 R3-MYB genes in six Rosaceae species. Furthermore, most of the R2 R3-MYB genes had Ka/Ks values less than 1, which indicated they were driven by purifying selection during the evolutionary processes. The GO term enrichment analysis revealed that R2 R3-MYB genes in strawberry and black raspberry were more divergent than in other Rosaceae species. Analysis of transcriptomes of 42 different tissues and development stages of woodland strawberry showed that high expression levels of R2 R3-MYB suggested that the R2 R3-MYB genes in strawberry played a key role in growth and development of both vegetative tissues and fruits. The strawberry R2 R3-MYB genes in sub-group of S1, S2, S11, S20, and S22 had high expression levels both in young leaves(YL) and old leaves(OL) strawberry tissues under drought treatments.

文摘Mutants lacking wild-type MLO(Mildew resistance Locus O)proteins show broad-spectrum resistance to the powdery mildew fungus,and dysregulated cell death control,with spontaneous cell death in response to developmental or abiotic stimuli.In order to understand the evolution and divergence patterns of the MLO gene family in Rosaceae plants,we analysed systematically genome-wide data from Fragaria vesca,Prunus persica,Prunus mume,Malus domestica,Pyrus bretschneideri and Rubus occidentalis based on bioinformatics methods.Using three phylogenetic methods(the neighbour-joining,maximum likelihood,and Bayesian methods),we identified 117 MLO genes from 6 Rosaceae species.The results of all three phylogenetic analysis methods supported that these genes were divided into six clades.Conserved motif analysis found that only motif 2 was present in all MLO proteins and had 3 nearly invariant amino acid residues.The findings indicated that motif 2 might be shared by the MLO gene family.The structural features of these genes showed large variations in sequence length among different species,although the lengths and the numbers of exons exhibited high degrees of similarity.Selective pressure analysis showed extremely significant differences in all 6 clades,with 2,1,and 1 site(s)under significant positive selection detected in clades III,IV,and VI,respectively.These positive selection sites were important driving forces for the promotion of the functional differentiation of the MLO genes.Functional divergence analysis showed that the significantly divergent sites were located within the domains of the MLO genes.Functional distance analysis showed that the clade V had more conservative functions and might have retained more original functions during the evolutionary process.However,clade I may have undergone extensive altered functional constraints as a specialised functional role.Moreover,the most original function of the MLO genes in Rosaceae could be related to the evolution of their resistance to powdery mildew,which then gradually evolved into functions such as the regulation of flower development,the control of root morphology,and seed evolution due to the different evolutionary rates after gene duplication.These results provide a theoretical basis for further studies of the molecular evolutionary patterns of the plant MLO gene family.

文摘The Rosaceae family has striking phenotypic diversity and high syntenic conservation.Gillenia trifoliata is sister species to the Maleae tribe of apple and~1000 other species.Gillenia has many putative ancestral features,such as herb/sub-shrub habit,dry fruit-bearing and nine base chromosomes.This coalescence of ancestral characters in a phylogenetically important species,positions Gillenia as a‘rosetta stone'for translational science within Rosaceae.We present genomic and phenological resources to facilitate the use of Gillenia for this purpose.The Gillenia genome is the fi rst fully annotated chromosome-level assembly with an ancestral genome complement(x=9),and with it we developed an improved model of the Rosaceae ancestral genome.MADS and NAC gene family analyses revealed genome dynamics correlated with growth and reproduction and we demonstrate how Gillenia can be a negative control for studying fl eshy fruit development in Rosaceae.
文摘目的:探讨硫酸羟氯喹联合甲硝唑凝胶治疗玫瑰痤疮的美学效果及疗效和安全性。方法:选取2020年12月-2022年12月湖南省中医药研究院附属医院收治的84例玫瑰痤疮患者,按随机数表法分为观察组(硫酸羟氯喹联合甲硝唑凝胶治疗,n=42)和对照组(甲硝唑凝胶治疗,n=42)。比较两组患者的治疗效果、不良反应,比较两组患者治疗前后的临床症状评分、痤疮特异性生活质量量表(Acne-specific quality of life scale,Acne-QOL)评分及白细胞介素-6(Interleukin-6,IL-6)、C反应蛋白(C-reactive protein,CRP)、肿瘤坏死因子-α(Tumo rnecrosis factor-α,TNF-α)水平。结果:观察组总有效率为95.24%,显著高于对照组的80.95%(P<0.05);治疗后两组各项临床症状评分显著低于治疗前,观察组低于对照组(P<0.05);治疗后两组Acne-QOL各项评分显著高于治疗前,观察组高于对照组(P<0.05);治疗后两组IL-6、CRP、TNF-α显著低于治疗前,观察组低于对照组(P<0.05);观察组和对照组的不良反应总发生率分别为9.52%、7.14%,差异无统计学意义(P>0.05)。结论:硫酸羟氯喹联合甲硝唑凝胶治疗玫瑰痤疮安全有效,可有效改善患者的临床症状,提高患者的面部美学效果及生活质量。
