The genetic variability analysis of 19 alfalfa populations collected from three sites in South Tunisia (Gabes, Kebili, Tozeur) and 1 from North West China were carried out using Random Amplified Polymorphic DNA (RAPD) and Inter Simple Sequence Repeat (ISSR) markers. Five RAPD primers amplified 44 bands of which 22 were polymorphic;and five ISSR primers amplified 51 bands of which 33 were polymorphic. The percentage of polymorphic bands detected by RAPD and ISSR was 50% and 64.7%, respectively. The resolving power (Rp) varied between 0.6 and 4.1 with an average of 2.02 for RAPD marker and between 0.7 and 6.5 with an average of 2.28 for ISSR marker. However the Average Informativeness band (AvIb) was ranged from 0.2 to 0.9 with an average of 0.5 in RAPD marker and from 0.29 to 0.7 with an average of 0.624 in ISSR marker. The RAPD marker revealed less within population genetic diversity than ISSR marker. Although Cluster (UPGMA) and Correspondence Factorial Analyses (CFA) indicate that populations’ clustering made independently both from the geographical origin.展开更多

文摘As the second most abundant natural polymer,accounting for approximately 30%of the organic carbon in the biosphere,lignin plays an essential role in plant development.However,a high lignin content affects the nutritional quality of alfalfa(Medicago sativa L.),the most widely cultivated perennial legume forage crop.Histological analysis indicated that G-lignin and S-lignin were present in the stem,leaf,and petiole of alfalfa,and the deposition of lignin increased gradually in descending internodes.Neutral detergent fiber(NDF),acid detergent fiber(ADF),and acid detergent lignin(ADL)contents continually increased from the top to the bottom of the stem,and ADL content showed a similar trend in leaves.Alfalfa leaves and stems from five different nodes(1,2,4,6,and 8)were used as materials to investigate molecular regulatory mechanisms in lignin synthesis by RNA sequencing.Respectively 8074 and 7752 differentially expressed genes(DEGs)were identified in leaves and stems,and 1694 DEGs were common to the two tissues.‘‘Phenylpropanoid biosynthesis”was the most enriched pathway in both leaves and stems,and 134 key regulatory genes in lignin synthesis were identified by a weighted gene co-expression network analysis.The NAC family transcription factor MsNST1 gene was highly expressed in old leaf and stem tissues.The deposition pattern of G-and S-lignin differed among M.truncatula wild-type,nst1 mutants,and overexpression lines,and the transcription levels of lignin synthesis genes such as HCT,F5H,and COMT in these three materials also differed.These results suggest that MsNST1 affects lignin synthesis in alfalfa.These findings provide a genetic basis and abundant gene resources for further study of the molecular mechanisms of lignin synthesis,laying a foundation for low-lignin alfalfa breeding research.

文摘Alfalfa is the most widely cultivated perennial legume forage crop worldwide.Drought is one of the major environmental factors influencing alfalfa productivity.However,the molecular mechanisms underlying alfalfa responses to drought stress are still largely unknown.This study identified a drought-inducible gene of unknown function,designated as Medicago sativa DROUGHT-INDUCED UNKNOWN PROTEIN 1(MsDIUP1).MsDIUP1 was localized to the nucleus,chloroplast,and plasma membranes.Overexpression of MsDIUP1 in Arabidopsis resulted in increased tolerance to drought,with higher seed germination,root length,fresh weight,and survival rate than in wild-type(WT)plants.Consistently,analysis of MsDIUP1 over-expression(OE)alfalfa plants revealed that MsDIUP1 also increased tolerance to drought stress,accompanied by physiological changes including reduced malondialdehyde(MDA)content and increased osmoprotectants accumulation(free proline and soluble sugar),relative to the WT.In contrast,disruption of MsDIUP1 expression by RNA interference(RNAi)in alfalfa resulted in a droughthypersensitive phenotype,with a lower chlorophyll content,higher MDA content,and less osmoprotectants accumulation than that of the WT.Transcript profiling of alfalfa WT,OE,and RNAi plants during drought stress showed differential responses for genes involved in stress signaling,antioxidant defense,and osmotic adjustment.Taken together,these results reveal a positive role for MsDIUP1 in regulating drought tolerance.

文摘[Objective] The study aimed to understand the mutagenic effects of space flight on alfalfa seeds.[Method] Seeds of three lines of alfalfa were carried into orbit by the satellite 'Shijian-8' for space fight,the indices including seed germination rate,plant height and growth rate,were measured after the seeds been retrieved.[Result] Remarkable mutagenic effects occurred on the flight seeds,which were mainly presented by abnormal cotyledon,extended variation range of plant height and growth rate.Nineteen plants with increased plant height were preliminarily screened from the T0 progenies,but whether the mutated trait could inherit should be confirmed in further study.Three flight lines of alfalfa are different in the percentages of abnormal cotyledon(10%-18%),variation range of plant height(increased 30%-150% compared to control),selected plant number with increased plant height(5-7 plants),suggesting that differences exits between the three lines in mutation efficiency.[Conclusion] Valuable mutated materials could be obtained by space flight and applied in modern agriculture.
文摘【目的】对一个水稻矮化剑叶卷曲突变体进行鉴定与基因定位,为水稻等禾谷类作物剑叶形态发育及分子改良奠定基础。【方法】在籼型水稻恢复系缙恢10号的甲基磺酸乙酯(EMS)突变库中筛选到一个隐性矮化剑叶卷曲突变体,命名为dcfl1(dwarf and curled flag leaf 1)。田间小区种植,全生育期内观察dcfl1和野生型的株型变化。苗期利用扫描电镜观察叶鞘内表皮细胞大小;孕穗期和抽穗期利用石蜡切片观察剑叶基部形态;开花期测定剑叶、倒2叶和倒3叶的叶绿素含量;成熟期考查株高、有效穗数、穗实粒数、结实率和千粒重等主要农艺性状。配制西农1A/dcfl1杂交组合,利用F1和F2群体进行遗传分析,并利用F2隐性群体进行基因定位。【结果】生育期内,突变体dcfl1都表现出矮化性状。dcfl1叶鞘内表皮细胞长度明显比野生型要短,达到了极显著水平。与野生型相比,穗长、倒1节间和倒2节间均显著变短,倒3节间和倒4节间无显著变化。抽穗期dcfl1剑叶的叶片和叶鞘连接处硬化,剑叶基部展开受阻,半边叶片向内卷曲,剑叶上部和中部正常,其他叶片也正常。农艺性状调查发现,dcfl1的有效穗数为14.24,极显著高于野生型的11.62,穗粒数、实粒数、结实率和千粒重等则无显著变化。此外,dcfl1的叶色略深,剑叶、倒2叶和倒3叶的叶绿素a含量均极显著高于野生型,类胡萝卜素含量也略有升高,但仅剑叶达到极显著差异水平,叶绿素b的含量则无显著变化。西农1A/dcfl1的F1群体中,株高和剑叶表型与野生型一致。F2群体中分离出正常和突变两种表型,突变表型与dcfl1类似,植株株高变矮,剑叶基部特异卷曲,说明矮化和剑叶基部特异卷曲是一对共分离性状。且两种表型分离比符合3﹕1,表明dcfl1突变型受1对隐性核基因控制。利用620株F2隐性单株,最终将DCFL1精细定位在第3染色体短臂In Del标记Ind03-11和Ind03-6之间78 kb的物理范围内,包含15个注释基因,为DCFL1的克隆和水稻剑叶形态发育机理研究奠定了基础。【结论】dcfl1是一个水稻矮化剑叶基部特异卷曲突变体,基因精细定位在第3染色体78 kb的物理范围内。
