Genetic Diversity Analysis of <i>Cotoneaster schantungensis</i>Klotz. Using SRAP Marker

In order to detect the genetic relationship of different Cotoneaster schantungensis natural populations, 16 samples were selected for genetic diversity analysis based on SRAP markers. Twelve pairs primers were selected out, 93 bands were amplified, of which 91 bands (97.85%) were polymorphic. At species level, the average value of Nei’s genetic diversity (H) was 0.2213, Shannon’s information index (I) was 0.3596, whereas at population level, they were 0.1955, 0.3121, the percentage of polymorphic loci was 75.27%. The genetic differentiation coefficient in populations (Gst) was 0.0788, gene flow Nm was 5.8467, indicating that there was 7.88% of the variation among populations and 92.12% of the variance within populations and the variation within populations was relatively high. These results indicate that C. schantungensis has high genetic diversity and low differentiation among populations. Although most Cotoneaster species are apomictic, C. schantungensis, however, may be an exception.

山东栒子全长转录组测序数据组装及功能注释

山东栒子是中国山东省的特有种,现已处于极度濒危状态。目前,山东栒子的分子生物学研究较少,基因数据库资源极度缺乏,急需探究其生物学遗传信息,以加快对山东栒子的保护遗传学工作。本研究以山东栒子叶片、花、成熟果实为实验材料,利用PacBio Sequel测序平台对其转录组进行全长转录组测序。共得到高质量去冗余的转录本53932个,作为最终转录本序列。预测到的CDS区共52490个;对其SSR位点进行分析,对测序得到Unigenes进行单核苷酸至六核苷酸重复的SSR位点搜索,共搜索到26796个SSR位点。对非冗余转录本利用BLAST软件与NR、Swissprot、GO、COG、KOG、KEGG 6个数据库进行比对,一共成功注释了53319个Unigenes,其中与NR数据库进行比对中注释为苹果的的相关基因数量最多,其次是白梨和桃;在GO数据库中有33305条山东栒子Unigenes被注释分类,由生物学过程、细胞成分和分子功能三部分组成;在与COG数据库比对中,共有23910条比对到了同源序列,且一共被分为25类;在与KEGG数据库的一系列比对中,可将Unigenes映射到126条代谢通路中。本研究在高通量全长转录组水平对山东栒子进行了系统研究,这为进一步开展山东栒子的分子标记开发和挖掘优良基因提供了科学依据,从而推动山东栒子的保护与利用。
