冬虫夏草(Cordyceps sinensis)的随机扩增多态DNA及其遗传分化

冬虫夏草地理群体间存在着遗传分化,且地理群体间的遗传差异度与地理距离呈正相关。因此,RAPD作为有效的遗传标记,可用于研究冬虫夏草的遗传多样性、起源以及系统演化等。

Genetic diversity and taxonomic implication of Cordyceps sinensis as revealed by RAPD markers

Random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) markers are used to investigate genetic variation and evolutionary relationships of 29 samples of Cordyceps sinensis from different geographical populations on the Qinghai-Tibet plateau. Out of 137 RAPD bands scored, 100 are polymorphic. A correlation is revealed between geographical distance and genetic distance. The molecular phylogenetic tree suggests that the 29 samples are divided into three notable clusters, corresponding to the geographical populations, i.e., the north population (NP), middle population (MP), and south population (SP). The NP consists of 7 northern samples from Menyuan, Maqu, and Luqu, the MP consists of 8 samples from Yushu and Chengduo, and the SP consists of 14 samples from Byma Snow Mountain, Renzhi Snow Moutain, Chongcaoxiwa, and Dacaodi. It is demonstrated that extensive genetic diversity is found among different geographical populations of C. sinensis. The genetic diversity pattern of C. sinensis may be caused by the founder effects. The taxonomic status of NP, MP, and SP populations should be that they are different subspecies rather than different species.

滇西北地区冬虫夏草和阔孢虫草的遗传分化研究

应用随机扩增多态性DNA(RAPD)技术对来自云南西北部高黎贡山和丽江玉龙雪山的6个冬虫夏草Cordyceps sinensis (Berk.) Sacc.,来自德钦地区三个地方的8个阔孢虫草C. crassispora Zang,Yang et Li以及来自云南昆明的一个蛹虫草C. militaris (Vuill) Fr.进行分析。18个随机引物获得的RAPD谱带清晰并呈现多态。遗传距离分析表明,冬虫夏草/阔孢虫草与蛹虫草之间存在显著的遗传差异。
