Development of polymorphic EST markers in Penaeus monodon: applications in penaeid genetics

The objective of this study was to develop type I markers for genome mapping and other genetic studies of Penaeus monodon. Primers were designed based on expressed sequence tags (ESTs) from a P monodon cephalothorax cDNA library to amplify 100-300 bp products. 34 of the primer pairs successfully amplified PCR products from genomic DNA. Single-strand conformation polymorphism analysis showed that similar to 30% of the ESTs tested exhibit polymorphism in a test panel of P monodon individuals. Mendelian inheritance of the EST-derived markers has been established in two international reference mapping families of P monodon, and mapping of these markers is in progress. Some ESTs were successfully amplified from other Penaeus species (P. chinensis, P japonicus and P vannamei), indicating that the markers are applicable in cross-species comparison. Two populations of P. japonicus could be differentiated using one of the ESTS. In conclusion, the polymorphic EST markers developed in this study are applicable in genome mapping and population genetic studies of penaeid shrimp. (C) 2002 Elsevier Science B.V.

Amplified DNA detection sensitivity using streptavidin-biotinylated protein complex: Characterization by electrochemical impedance spectroscopy

Thiol-terminated oligonucleotide was immobilized to gold surface by self-assembly method. A novel amplification strategy was introduced for improving the sensitivity of DNA. hybridization using biotin labeled protein-streptavidin network complex. This complex can be formed in a cross-linking network of molecules so that the amplification of the response signal will be realized due to the big molecular size of the complex. It could be proved from the impedance technique that this amplification strategy caused dramatic improvement of the detection sensitivity. These results give significant advances in the generality and sensitivity as it is applied to biosensing.

Molecular identification of 16 Porphyra lines using sequence-related amplified polymorphism markers

Sequence-related amplified polymorphism (SRAP) is a novel molecular marker technique designed to amplify open reading frames (ORFs). The SRAP analytic system was set up and applied to Porphyra germplasm identification in this study for the first time. Sixteen Porphyra lines were screened by SRAP technique with 30 primer combinations. In the analysis, 14 primer combinations produced stable and reproducible amplification patterns in three repetitive experiments. Among the total 533 amplified fragments, 522 (98%) were polymorphic, with an average of 38 fragments for each primer combination, ranging in size from 50 to 500 bp. The 533 fragments were visually scored one by one and then used to develop a dendrogram with Unweighted Pair-Group Method Arithmetic Average (UPGMA), and the 16 Porphyra lines were divided into two major groups at the 0.68 similarity level. From the total 533 fragments, I I amplified by two primer combinations, ME1/EM1 and ME4/EM6, were used to develop the DNA fingerprints of the 16 Porphyra lines. The DNA fingerprints were then converted into binary codes, with I and 0 representing presence and absence of the corresponding amplified fragment, respectively. In the DNA fingerprints, each of the 16 Porphyra lines has its unique binary code and can be easily distinguished from the others. This is the first report on the development of SRAP technique and its utilization in germplasm identification of seaweeds. The results demonstrated that SRAP is a simple, stable, polymorphic and reproducible molecular marker technique for the classification and identification of Porphyra lines. (c) 2007 Elsevier B.V.

Genetic mapping of laminaria japonica and l. longissima using amplified fragment length polymorphism markers in a "two-way pseudo-testcross" strategy

With a "two-way pseudo-testcross" mapping strategy, we applied the amplified fragment length polymorphism (AFLP) markers to construct two moderate density genetic linkage maps for Laminaria. The linkage maps were generated from the 60 progenies of the F, cross family (Laminaria longissima Aresch. x L. japonica Miyabe) with twenty pairs of primer combinations. Of the 333 polymorphic loci scored in 60 progenies, 173 segregated in a 1:1 ratio, corresponding to DNA polymorphisms heterozygous in a single parent, and the other 58 loci existing in both parents followed a 3:1 Mendelian segregation ratio. Among the loci with 1:1 segregating ratios, 79 loci were ordered in 14 linkage groups (648.6 cM) of the paternal map, and 72 loci were ordered in 14 linkage groups (601.9 cM) of the maternal map. The average density of loci was approximately 1 per 8 cM. To investigate the homologies between two parental maps, we used 58 loci segregated 3:1 for further analysis, and deduced one homologous linkage group. The linkage data developed in these maps will be useful for detecting loci-controlling commercially important traits for Laminaria.

Identification and mapping of amplified fragment length polymorphism markers linked to shell color in bay scallop, Argopecten irradians irradians (Lamarck, 1819)

Amplified fragment length polymorphisms (AFLP) were used to study the inheritance of shell color in Argopecten irradians. Two scallops, one with orange and the other with white shells, were used as parents to produce four F-1 families by selfing and outcrossing. Eighty-eight progeny, 37 orange and 51 white, were randomly selected from one of the families for segregation and mapping analysis with AFLP and microsatellite markers. Twenty-five AFLP primer pairs were screened, yielding 1138 fragments, among which 148 (13.0%) were polymorphic in two parents and segregated in progeny. Six AFLP markers showed significant (P < 0.05) association with shell color. All six loci were mapped to one linkage group. One of the markers, F1f335, is completely linked to the gene for orange shell, which we designated as Orange1, without any recombination in the progeny we sampled. The marker was amplified in the orange parent and all orange progeny, but absent in the white parent and all the white progeny. The close linkage between F1f335 and Orange1 was validated using bulk segregation analysis in two natural populations, and all our data indicate that F1f335 is specific for the shell color gene, Orange1. The genomic mapping of a shell color gene in bay scallop improves our understanding of shell color inheritance and may contribute to the breeding of molluscs with desired shell colors.

向日葵（Helianthus annuus L.）种质资源的RAPD标记研究与应用

向日葵原产北美，通过人工培育，在不同生境上形成许多品种，具有丰富的遗传多态性，是一种集观赏植物、药用植物、油料作物于一体，经济价值很高的资源植物，产量高，具有较强的适应性。运用现代生物技术加强对向日葵种质资源的开发和保护，开展遗传多样性分析，加速新品种的选育，是当前向日葵研究工作的重点。随着现代生物技术的发展，从分子水平检测生物的遗传多态性已成为现实。本论文以向日葵生产中使用的基因型为实验材料，使用RAPD技术在向日葵种质资源遗传多态性分析以及向日葵杂交种种子纯度鉴定两方面进行了探讨。 采用RAPD 技术对我国21个向日葵基因型和11个国外的向葵基因型的遗传多态性进行分析。从80个10碱基随机引物中筛选出25个有效引物，在32个基因型中共扩增出188条DNA片段，其中164条带具有遗传多态性，约占总数的87.2%。使用NTSYS软件计算32个基因型间的Nei氏相似性系数，在此基础上通过非加权配对算术平均法（UPGMA）聚类，将32个向日葵基因型明显地聚成A、B两大类群。A类群包括21个国内向日葵基因型，并聚成了A1、A2二个亚类。B类群包括11个国外向日葵基因型，并划分为B1、B2两个亚类。根据聚类结果作出的遗传树谱图反映了所研究的向日葵基因型的亲缘关系。 在杂交种A15种子纯度鉴定中，从180个RAPD随机引物中扩增筛选出3个可将亲本和子代区分开的引物OPD09、OPD12和OPK12。OPD09产生亲本互补的特征带OPD09-1470bp、OPD09-870bp;OPD12产生母本特征带OPD12-1230bp，OPK12产生父本特征带OPK12-1540bp、OPK12-940bp，上述谱带均在子代中出现。以单引物（OPD09）和双引物（OPD12和OPK12）产生的这两组特征谱带作为分子标记分别对杂交油葵种子纯度进行鉴定得到了一致的结果，并与大田纯度检测结果基本符合。 实践表明，用RAPD对向日葵种质资源进行分析是可行的。

盐渍条件下野大豆群体的DNA变异

当前分子生物学的方法以惊人的速度渗透到生命科学研究的各个领域。植物对不断变化的环境逐步适应的过程中，积累了丰富的遗传多样性。与此同时，人类活动空间的不断扩大已经严重威胁到其他生命的生存和繁衍，越来越多的物种以越来越快的速度在我们还没有来得及认识它们时就已经永远地消失了。加快物种鉴定和保护的步伐就必须发展更多能充分揭示物种遗传多样性的实验技术，从具有丰富遗传多样性的野生资源中寻找到更多能够服务于人类可持续发展的基因资源。本文以杨树杂交后代过氧化物同工酶和RAPD分析为基础，论证了我们改进的RAPD方法用于遗传分析的可行性。在前期工作的基础上，进一步测定了野大豆自然群体的耐盐性变异，并且用微卫星和RAPD分析的方法研究分子标记与DXA变异、植株耐盐性之间的关系。对四个可能与抗盐性有关的RAPD片段进行克隆、测序，并进行序列比较。由此得出以下结论： 1、在本文的实验条件下，杨树同工酶和RAPD分析均表明，RAPD标记在亲本及其杂交后代中性状比例符合孟德尔遗传规律，尽管有时也会出现遗传负载等机制引起的基因分布扭曲现象。 2、初步研究了个体发育阶段和环境条件对植株耐盐性的影响。结果表明，植物耐盐性不仅仅与外界的盐度有关，而且受发育阶段和其它环境条件（如，温度）的影响。但也发现了某些个体在各种条件下都具有较高的耐盐性，而且，不易受到其它环境条件的影响。 3、微卫星标记的结果表明，10对引物中的8对引物共检测到时17个等位基因，平均每对引物2.125个等位基因。本文的实验条件下，双核苷酸和三核苷酸的引物对扩增产物都没有出现“ghosts"条带或“打滑”现象。 4、有4个RAPD标记可能与野大豆群体的耐盐性有关，分别是OPCO8460bp、OPCO8213bp、OPCO2690bp、以及OPCO5270bp。测序结果与GenBank中的序列作同源性比较，结果显示，OPCO2_(690bp)与小麦、松树等植物的吉普赛性的逆转录转座子的部分区域（24－－53）有很高的同源性（86－89％）。此外，OPCO2690bp与栽培大豆胞质谷氨酰胺合成酶（gs15）基因的启动子有高达95％的同源性。 5、本文实验条件下，RAPD扩增产物在限制性内切酶消化后，消化产物的多态性未见增大，也没有发现与耐盐性相关的多态位点。 6、野大豆自然群体DNA变异的研究中也可以应用SWAPP方法。

低能N+诱导拟南芥突变体DNA变异的研究

低能离子束的诱变效应首先由我国科学家发现并将其广泛应用于育种实践，但是离子注入诱导DNA变异的研究结果主要是以微生物离体质粒DNA为材料获得的，以活体高等生物为材料的研究尚未见报道。 我们以30 keV N+（注入剂量80×1015 ions/cm2）注入拟南芥后获得的稳定突变体T80II为实验材料，对突变体植株进行了RAPD标记，并将T80II和对照部分RAPD特异条带进行克隆测序和DNA序列分析。结果显示，在可分辨的总计397个RAPD条带中，T80II株系中有52个条带表现出差异，包括条带的缺失和增加，条带变异率为13.1%;克隆的T80II序列中，平均每16.8个碱基出现一个碱基变异位点，表现出较高频率的碱基突变。碱基突变的类型包括碱基的颠换、转换、缺失、插入等。在检测到的275个碱基突变中，主要是单碱基置换（97.09%），碱基缺失或者插入的比例较小（2.91%）。在碱基置换中，转换的频率（66.55%）高于颠换的频率（(30.55%)。此外，构成DNA的四种碱基均可以被离子束辐照诱发变异，而且每一种碱基都可以被其它三种碱基所替换，但是胸腺嘧啶（T）的辐射敏感性要高于其它三种碱基。通过分析突变碱基周边序列，对低能N+离子注入拟南芥突变体引发的碱基突变热点进行了讨论。 另外，低能离子注入诱变获得的突变体特异表达基因的克隆方面也没有报道。我们以突变体T80II作为实验材料，用PCR增效的减法杂交技术构建了T80II特异表达的cDNA减法文库，克隆特异表达的cDNA片段，并对其中1个与14-3-3 protein GF14 nu (GRF7) gene有部分同源性、长712 bp的cDNA片段进行了讨论。我们的研究证明通过减法杂交技术克隆低能离子诱发的突变体特异表达的cDNA是可能的，这为低能离子注入技术在分子生物学上的应用开辟了一个新思路。
