Genetic analysis of the gametophytes of Undaria pinnatifida (Phaeophyceae) with ISSR method

Inter-simple sequence repeat (ISSR) analysis was used to assess eleven pairs of Undaria pinnatifida (Harv.) Suringar male and female gametophytes. After screening fifty primers, 18 ISSR primers were selected for final analysis. A total of 104 loci were obtained, of which 77 were polymorphic, among the gametophytes studied. Genetic relationships were analyzed with simple matching (S), Jaccard's (J) and Dice's (D) distance coefficients. Little genetic variations were found among the selected Undaria gametophytes, for instance, the genetic distances ranging from 0.010 to 0.125 with Dice coefficients. UPGMA dendrograms showed that 11 pairs of Undaria gametophytes were distributed into five groups. Most Undaria strains cultivated in China exhibited closely genetic relationships with the strains from Japan. However, gametophytes from Qingdao appeared as distinct clades from other Undaria strains with all three distance coefficients used. Mantel test showed that the three distance measurements generated congruent clustering patterns on the same data. Our results demonstrated the feasibility of applying ISSR markers for genetic analysis of Undaria gametophytes. (c) 2006 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

羊栖菜养殖品系DNA指纹分析及遗传变异的研究

羊栖菜是重要的大型经济海藻之一，在食品、医药、化工领域都有广泛应用。本研究对羊栖菜养殖生产中常见的品系“鹿丰1号”及另外2种品系进行了DNA指纹分析及遗传变异的研究，构建了遗传指纹图谱，分析了不同种群的遗传关系，为羊栖菜的种质鉴定及遗传选育提供了理论依据。 运用RAPD分子标记技术，对5个羊栖菜的种群中共125个个体进行了分析，从300个引物中筛选出12条随机扩增引物共扩增135个位点，多态位点比率为84.4%。从中选择了4个多态性位点，构建了5种羊栖菜DNA指纹图谱，并获得了“鹿丰1号”SCAR标记。另外，进行了5种羊栖菜种群的遗传背景的分析，结果表明“鹿丰1号”与品系2可以明显的与野生种群分开。根据Dice常数计算所得的5个种群的遗传距离在0.1116-0.2563之间。 运用ISSR分子标记技术，对5个种群的125个羊栖菜个体进行分析，通过90条引物的筛选，获得10条ISSR引物，扩增出92个位点，多态位点比率为67.4%。5个种群的遗传距离在0.0863-0.1454之间。 本研究以铜藻作为外群，通过2种遗传标记分析，证明铜藻与5种羊栖菜种群的遗传距离均远远大于其种群之间的遗传距离；另外，“鹿丰1号”不同年份的种群之间的遗传距离均为其中的最小值，相关结果对羊栖菜遗传选育和种质鉴定等有参考价值。
