Genetic diversity and population genetic structure of Aegilops tauschii in Northern Iran were studied based on nine microsatellite loci. A high level of genetic diversity was observed from the
accessions collected from six regions (provinces). These accessions include 79 samples of the two subspecies (tauschii and strangulata), the intermediate form (among morphologically distinguished subspecies) and ten accessions of Triticum aestivum. The nine microsatellites revealed a total of 141 alleles, with an average of 15.7 alleles per locus. A comparison of the
parameters showing genetic diversity, including the observed heterozygosity (Ho), gene diversity (He) and Shannon’s information index (I) of Ae. tauschii accessions from different provinces in Northern Iran, indicated that subsp. tauschii possesses the highest genetic diversity, followed by intermediate form. Genetic distance between subsp. strangulata and subsp. tauschii was low, confirming high gene flow between these two subspecies. However, intermediate form was more distinct from both of
them. It was also found that the genetic diversity of T. aestivum is obviously lower than that of Ae. tauschii accessions. Moreover, the level of genetic diversity for Gilan, Golestan and Mazanderan provinces was higher than for Ardebil,
Ghazvin and Semnan provinces, suggesting that these regions may provide a readily available source of potentially useful variation
for wheat improvement. 相似文献

The wide morphological variation of Aegilops tauschii has led to the distinction of different subspecies; a typical ssp. tauschii and a second ssp. strangulata. However some researchers pointed out the existance of the intermediate form among morphologically distinguished subspecies.
Distribution, diversity and the relationship between different subspecies and the intermediate form were evaluated in the
Iranian Ae. tauschii collection. This collection was classified to 15 different populations according to morphological similarities and the collecting
origin of accessions. The highest variation was found in tauschii population of Golestan followed by tauschii populations of Gilan and Ardebill, whereas the lowest variation was observed in tauschii populations of central Iran. Two discriminant functions suggested that the length of rachis node and spikelet glume, particularly,
the length/width ratios of these traits had the highest impact on identification of different forms. Mahalanobis distances
(D

) between the two subspecies along with intermediate form on the multidimensional scaling plot showed that the intermediate
form is more similar to ssp. tauschii than ssp. strangulata. Although, the diversity within the ssp. strangulata was not very high, it widely affected the diversity of Iranian accessions of Ae. tauschii through continues crossing with the more diversed subspecies, tauschii, during thousands of years. This fact had lead to expansion of its distribution from its origin to Northern Khorasan, Northern
Semnan and Eastern Ardebill by producing the intermediate form. 相似文献

Simple sequence repeats (SSRs), highly dispersed nucleotide sequences in genomes, were used for germplasm analysis and estimation
of the genetic relationship of the D-genome among 52 accessions of T. aestivum (AABBDD), Ae. tauschii (DtDt), Ae. cylindrica (CCDcDc) and Ae. crassa (MMDcr1Dcr1), collected from 13 different sites in Iran. A set of 21 microsatellite primers, from various locations on the seven D-genome
chromosomes, revealed a high level of polymorphism. A total of 273 alleles were detected across all four species and the number
of alleles per each microsatellite marker varied from 3 to 27. The highest genetic diversity occurred in Ae. tauschii followed by Ae. crassa, and the genetic distance was the smallest between Ae. tauschii and Ae. cylindrica. Data obtained in this study supports the view that genetic variability in the D-genome of hexaploid wheat is less than in
Ae. tauschii. The highest number of unique alleles was observed within Ae. crassa accessions, indicating this species as a great potential source of novel genes for bread wheat improvement. Knowledge of
genetic diversity in Aegilops species provides different levels of information which is important in the management of germplasm resources. 相似文献

Microsatellite markers were used to analyse the biodiversity of 57 accessions of different subspecies and varieties of wild
Aegilops tauschii (2n = 2x = 14; D genome) collected across the major areas where it grows in Iran. Levels of diversity were high, with numbers of alleles
averaging 7.3 (ranging up to 12) and polymorphism information contents averaging 0.6591. One accession was notably more similar
to two of the D genome in hexaploid wheats (Triticum aestivum) used as outgroups. Within the Ae. tauschii accessions, no markers were characteristic for taxa or geographical origin, suggesting high gene flow between the subspecies
and varieties, although some groupings, which could be related to geographical origin, were evident. This survey demonstrates
the high diversity present in wild goatgrass in Iran, and indicates that there is value in sampling for useful genes for wheat
breeding. 相似文献

Variation of high molecular weight glutenin subunits (HMW-GS) in 28 Iranian Aegilops tauschii (2n = 2x = 14, DD) accessions studied by sodium dodecyl sulphate electrophoresis method (SDS-PAGE). The results showed high variation of HMW-GS in the accessions. The range of frequency in 14 HMW-GS combinations was 3.57–25 % in the accessions. AMOVA showed the molecular variance between the geographic areas was lower than within the geographic areas. According to Nei’s genetic diversity, the highest diversity levels were in Semnan, Golestan and Azarbayjan, on the other hand the lowest levels of diversity were found in Khorasan, Gilan and Mazandaran accessions. Hence, the Caspian Sea South East accessions also Azerbayjan in Iran have more diversity. AMOVA did not show variance between strangulata and tauschii but there was more genetic diversity in ssp. tauschii subspecies in comparison of ssp. strangulata according to Nei’s gene diversity and Shannon information index. It showed Iranian Ae. tauschii have a good potential for bread making quality improvement in bread wheat. 相似文献

The mountain rye Secale strictum is native to the Middle East and is the progenitor of the cultivated rye. Regarding lack of information about the genetic
diversity of this species in Iran, this study was aimed to evaluate its genetic variation and to examine the patterns of diversity
related to the varieties and geography. Fifteen wheat and rye derived microsatellite markers were used to achieve this aim.
High levels of diversity, with an average number of 6.1 alleles per locus (ranging up to 11) and high level polymorphism with
polymorphism rate averaging 0.624 (between populations) and 0.357 (within populations) were observed among 125 individuals
from 19 populations collected from various regions of Iran. The Northwestern populations showed the highest and the Northern
populations showed the lowest polymorphism and diversity. One population of the Northwest of the country was notably closer
in its allele range to the S. cereale accessions used as outgroup. No taxon or geographic specific marker was detected, suggesting high gene flow between the populations,
however some groupings which can be related to the geographic regions and varieties, were evident. The analysis of molecular
variance attributed same portions of genetic diversity to the within and between populations with no significant variation
among different geographic regions. The results of this study indicated that the Iranian genepool of Secale strictum is valuable to search for new useful alleles for crop improvement. 相似文献

Hexaploid bread wheat (Triticum aestivum L. ssp. aestivum) is assumed to have originated by natural hybridization between cultivated tetraploid Triticum turgidum L. and wild diploid Aegilops tauschii Coss. This scenario is broadly accepted, but very little is known about the ecological aspects of bread wheat evolution.
In this study, we examined whether T. turgidum cultivation still is associated with weedy Ae. tauschii in today’s Middle Eastern agroecosystems. We surveyed current distributions of T. turgidum and Ae. tauschii in northern Iran and searched for sites where these two species coexist. Ae. tauschii occurred widely in the study area, whereas cultivated T. turgidum had a narrow distribution range. Traditional durum wheat (T. turgidum ssp. durum (Desf.) Husn.) cultivation associated with weedy Ae. tauschii was observed in the Alamut and Deylaman-Barrehsar districts of the central Alborz Mountain region. The results of our field
survey showed that the T. turgidum–Ae. tauschii association hypothesized in the theory of bread wheat evolution still exists in the area where bread wheat probably evolved. 相似文献

Aegilops tauschii Coss., the D-genome progenitor of common wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) includes two subspecies, tauschii and strangulata (Eig) Tzvel. Subspecies tauschii has a wide geographic distribution spreading westwards to Turkey and eastwards to Afghanistan and China, while ssp. strangulata has a narrower distribution occurring only in two disjoined regions, southeastern Caspian Iran and Transcaucasia. A collection
of 56 Ae. tauschii accessions was screened at adult stage against a mixture of pathotypes of stripe rust prevalent in the current wheat production
in China. The results for three crop seasons indicated that among the 38 ssp. tauschii accessions, 37 were susceptible and only one was resistant, while all the 18 ssp. strangulata accessions were resistant. These results indicated that stripe rust resistance was related to taxonomic origin. Further genetic
analysis revealed the resistance of stripe rust in ssp. strangulata accession AS2388 was conferred by a single dominant gene. 相似文献

Summary A collection of 400 Ae. tauschii (syn. Ae. squarrosa) Coss. accessions were screened for powdery mildew resistance based on the response patterns of 13 wheat cultivars/lines possessing major resistance genes to nine differential mildew isolates. 106 accessions showed complete resistance to all isolates, and 174 accessions revealed isolate-specific resistance, among which were 40 accessions exhibiting an identical response pattern as wheat cultivar Ulka/*8Cc which is known to possess resistance gene Pm2. Expression of both complete and isolate-specific resistance from Ae. tauschii was observed in some synthetic hexaploid wheats derived from four mildew susceptible T. durum Desf. parents, each crossed with five to 38 resistant diploid Ae. tauschii accessions. Synthetic amphiploids involving different combinations of T. durum and Ae. tauschii generally showed a decrease in resistance compared with that expressed by the Ae. tauschii parental lines. 相似文献

Microsatellite markers were used to analyse the genetic diversity of 120 individuals of 20 weedy/wild populations of Secale cereale collected all around Iran. High levels of diversity, with an average number of seven alleles per locus (ranging up to 11)
and high level polymorphism with polymorphism rate averaging 0.645 (between populations) and 0.364 (within populations) were
observed. The Northwestern populations showed the highest and the Northern populations showed the lowest polymorphism and
diversity. One population was notably more similar to five of the S.
strictum used as outgroups. No taxon or geographic specific marker was detected, suggesting high gene flow between the populations,
however some groupings which can be related to the subspecies, were evident. This survey showed the high genetic diversity
within the Iranian rye genepool as an important source for crop breeders, and indicated that there is value in sampling for
useful genes for crops improvement. 相似文献

Genetic diversity was investigated in 73 accessions of emmer wheat (Triticum dicoccon Schrank) from 11 geographical regions using a set of 29 simple-sequence repeat (SSR or microsatellite) markers, representing
at least two markers for each chromosome. The SSR primers amplified a total of 357 different alleles with an average of 12.31
alleles per locus. The number of fragments detected by each primer ranged between 6 (Xgwm1066) and 21 (Xgwm268). Null alleles were detected in nine of the 29 primers used. A high level of gene diversity index was observed. Across the
29 primers, gene diversity ranged from 0.60 (Xgwm46) to 0.94 (Xgwm655), with a mean of 0.82. There was a highly significant correlation (r=0.882; p<0.01) between gene diversity index and the number of loci, showing the number of loci per se is a strong indicator of diversity. Analysis of genetic diversity within and among eleven geographical regions revealed most
of the genetic diversity of the total sample resided within regions. The coefficient of gene differentiation (Gst = 0.27)
showed that the genetic variation within and among the 11 geographical regions was 73 and 27%, respectively. High value of
mean number of alleles per locus was found in Iran (4.86) followed by Morocco (4.10) and Armenia (4.03). On the contrary,
lower mean number of alleles per locus was detected in Yemen (2.83). The average gene diversity index across regions ranged
from 0.52 (Slovakia) to 0.67 (Morocco) with an average of 0.60. Multivariate techniques of principal component analysis and
clustering were employed to examine genetic relationship among the 73 emmer wheat accessions vis-à-vis geographical regions
of collections. The genetic distance coefficients for all possible 55 pairs of regional comparisons ranged from 0.63 (between
Iran and Armenia, Georgia and Azerbaijan, Georgia and Slovakia) to 0.97 (between Morocco and Yemen, Spain and Georgia, and
Turkey and Iran) with a mean of 0.82. From the PCA results, a two dimensional plot of PC1 versus PC2 was constructed. The
scatter plot of the first two principal components which explained altogether 27% of the total variation depicted the presence
of a clear pattern of geographical differentiation except in few cases like accessions from Caucasian region. Similar pattern
of genetic relationships among accessions was observed in cluster analysis. The study provided genetic information of emmer
wheat in relation to geographical regions of origin. The information could be utilized in crop improvement, germplasm conservation
programs, and in further investigation. 相似文献

All the 79 Aegilops tauschii Coss. accessions of Iranian origin from Prof. Kihara’s collection were analyzed electrophoretically. Of 23 enzyme-encoding
loci studied, 11 were polymorphic. In Iran Ae. tauschii is presented by ssp. tauschii and ssp. strangulata which distinctly differ genetically, morphologically and ecologically. Variation patterns of low polymorphic locus Aco2 and highly polymorphic Ep are similar in both subspecies. In contrast, variation of Acph1, Ak, Est2, Est5, Got1, Got2, Got3 and Lap is a set of diverse patterns which markedly differ between subspecies and natural regions also, implying that natural selection
is involved. 相似文献

Sesame (Sesamum indicum L.) is a traditional oil crop cultivated throughout South East Asia. To estimate the genetic diversity of this crop in parts
at the region, 22 sesame accessions collected in Vietnam and Cambodia were analyzed using 10 RAPD markers. The 10 primers
generated 107 amplification products of which 88 were polymorphic fragments (83%). Genetic diversity of all populations was
Ht = 0.34 when estimated by Nei’s genetic diversity and species diversity was H′sp = 0.513 when estimated by Shannon diversity index. Genetic distance ranged from 0.03 to 0.43, with a mean genetic distance
of 0.23. The unweighted pair group method with arithmetic averages (UPGMA) cluster analysis for the 22 accessions divided
the material in four groups. The dendrogram revealed a clear division among the sesame accessions based on their geographical
region. Interestingly, some geographically distant accessions clustered in the same group, which might indicate the human
factor involved in the spreading of sesame varieties. The high level of polymorphism shown suggests that RAPD techniques can
also be useful for the selection of parents in sesame (Sesamum indicum L.) breeding program and for cultivar differentiation. 相似文献

Total 65 lotus accessions in genus Nelumbo mainly collected from China, were subjected to random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) markers to estimate the genetic diversity
and to test the genetic basis of the relationships between morphotypes and molecular markers. Seventeen primers generated
a total of 195 highly reproducible and discernible loci, among which 173 were polymorphic. Percent polymorphism varied from
66.7 to 100 with an average of 88.72, and five primers out of them, OPC05, OPG10, OPN20, OPP09 and OPS17, showed 100% polymorphism.
A relatively high genetic diversity was detected among all the samples with the similarity coefficient values ranging from
0.45 to 0.85, and Nei’s gene diversity (h) 0.30, and Shannon index (I) 0.46. The UPGMA dendrogram clustered 65 accessions in four clusters and the clustering pattern showed two groups, N. nucifera ssp. nucifera and those accessions related to the American lotus, and some special cultivars, landraces, hybrids and the American lotus.
Principal Coordinate Analysis (PCA) further indicated that the genetic diversity of Nelumbo accessions was not evenly distributed, instead, was presented by a clustered distribution pattern. Similar to the results
revealed by the dendrogram, two main groups representing the two subspecies of N. nucifera, as well as some special landraces, cultivars of Chinese lotus, the Japanese lotus and hybrids out of the two groups were
obtained. Neither the UPGMA dendrogram nor the PCA analysis exhibited strict relationship with geographic distribution and
morphotypes among the accessions. 相似文献

In order to shed light on the role of Iran in apple evolution and domestication, we chose to investigate the relationships
of a collection of 159 accessions of wild and domesticated apples including Iranian indigenous apple cultivars and landraces,
selected wild species, and old apple scion and rootstock cultivars from different parts of the world. The majority of the
wild species belonged to M. sieversii, which is widely believed to be the main maternal wild ancestor of domestic apples, from Kazakhstan and M. orientalis, which is one of the probable minor ancestors of domestic apples, from Turkey and Russia located on the east and west of
Iran, respectively. The accessions were assigned into six arbitrary populations for the purpose of generating information
on genetic parameters. Nine simple sequence repeat (SSR) loci selected from previous studies in apple were screened over DNA
extracted from all the accessions. Results showed that all SSR loci displayed a very high degree of polymorphism with 11–25
alleles per locus. In total, there were 153 alleles across all loci with an average of 17 alleles per locus. The SSR allelic
data were then used for estimation of population genetic parameters, including genetic variation statistics, F-statistics,
gene flow, genetic identity, genetic distance and then cluster analysis using POPGENE 1.32 software. The F-statistics and
gene flow in particular, showed that there was more intra-population than between population variation. The genetic identity
and genetic distance estimates, and the dendrogram generated from the un-weighted pair group arithmetic average (UPGMA) method
of cluster analysis showed that the Iranian cultivars and landraces were more closely related to M. sieversii from Central Asia (east of Iran) and M. orientalis native to Turkey and Russia than to other accessions of Malus species. Also, the old apple cultivars from different parts of the world have a closer genetic relationship to M. sieversii, M. orientalis and the Iranian apples, than to other wild species. Based on these results, we suggest that the Iranian apples may occupy
an intermediate position between the domesticated varieties and wild species. We propose that Iran could be one of the major
players in apples’ domestication and transfer from Central Asia to the western countries. 相似文献

The high molecular weight (HMW) glutenin subunit composition of 111 common landraces of bread wheat collected from Hubei province,
China has been determined by sodium dodecyl sulphate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE). Ninety six of the accessions
were homogeneous for HMW glutenin subunit composition and 15 were heterogeneous. For the Glu-1 loci, 16 alleles were detected, 3 at the Glu-A1locus, 9 at the Glu-B1and 4 at the Glu-D1. Three novel alleles were identified, two at the Glu-B1 and one at the Glu-D1locus. Combination of these 16 alleles resulted in 14 different HMW subunit patterns. The distribution of HMW glutenin subunit
alleles in a subset of 105 of the 111 accessions representing six populations was assessed both at the individual population
and whole population levels. The results demonstrated that the distribution of allelic patterns varied among populations.
Taken together, 62.5% of the alleles detected were considered to be rare alleles while the Glu-A1c (null), Glu-B1b (1Bx7 + 1By8) and Glu-D1a (1Dx2 + 1Dy12) alleles were found most frequently in the six populations. The subset exhibited relatively high genetic diversity
(A = 5.33, P = 1.00, Ae = 1.352 and He = 0.238) with 81.5% of the diversity being within populations and 18.5% between populations. 相似文献

Summary A total of 59 diploid Aegilops tauschii Coss. (syn. Aegilops sguarrosa auct. non L.) and 39 synthetic hexaploid wheat accessions were evaluated for reaction to Pyrenophora tritici-repentis (Died.) Drechs. in a controlled environment, and classified using a disease rating system based on lesion type. 27 Ae. tauschii and 20 synthetic wheats were found to be resistant to tan spot disease. The overall mean disease ratings of Ae. tauschii and the synthetic wheat lines scored on a scale of 1 (resistant) to 5 (susceptible) were 1.80 and 2.38, respectively. Synthetic wheats generally showed a decrease in resistance, although several lines of synthetic wheat expressed a higher resistance than the diploid parents. Five synthetic wheat lines exhibited higher resistance than the standard resistant common wheat cultivar Red Chief. 相似文献

Genetic erosion in cultivated wheat provides a good reason for studying genetic diversity in crop wild relatives. In the present study, genetic diversity of 32 accessions belonging to T. boeoticum species collected from different parts of Iran were evaluated using 13 morphological traits as well as ten inter-simple sequence repeat primers. Statistical analysis for morphological traits showed significant differences among accessions (except number of fertile tillers and total tillers per plant). In principal component analysis, the first three PCA showed 82.65 % of the total morphological variation. Based on the morphological traits, accessions were separated into two main groups by cluster analysis. In molecular analysis, polymerase chain reactions amplified 105 DNA fragments, out of which, 95 (90.47 %) were polymorphic. From geographic perspective, the accessions sampled from western and southwestern of Iran showed the highest and lowest polymorphism, respectively. However, the maximum values of effective number of alleles (Ne), Nei’s gene diversity (He) and Shannon’s information index (I) was related to accessions collected from NW regions. Also, according to cluster analysis and PCoA plot genetic diversity was not related to geographical distribution. Overall, our results revealed a remarkable level of genetic diversity among studied Iranian T. boeoticum accessions; especially accessions collected from Kermanshah and Lorestan provinces, which can be of interest for future breeding programs. So, conservation of germplasm of these areas is recommended. 相似文献

Investigation of spatial patterns of adenylate kinase, catalase, endopeptidase and fructose-1,6-diphosphatase encoding genes
(Ak, Cat1, Cat2, Ep, Fdp) allelic variation in Aegilops tauschii was carried out. About 300 accessions, representing all the species range were taken for the study. Cat2 and Fdp loci are completely monomorphic in ssp. strangulata and in the western part of ssp. tauschii range, as well. Both Cat2 and Fdp are highly polymorphic in the eastern part of ssp. tauschii range, with the patterns of this polymorphism being discordant in these two loci. Ak
108, a rare allele with sporadical spatial occurrence, was found in ssp. tauschii only. On the contrary, Ak
92 is absent in ssp. tauschii: it is the most common Ak allele in ssp. strangulata in Precaspian Iran, the most moist part of the area, and is very rare in other parts of ssp. strangulata area. Ep is a highly polymorphic locus with the highest level of variation in the west of Ae. tauschii area, where this species had originated. Ep allele variation patterns are rather similar in ssp. tauschii and ssp. strangulata. The data reveal the adaptive nature of Ak, Cat2, and Fdp allele variation, while Ep polymorphism seems to be mostly neutral. 相似文献

Amplified fragment length polymorphism (AFLP) analysis was used to evaluate the genetic relationships and diversities of Chinese
vegetable mustards. Fourteen pairs of primers generated a total of 366 scorable fragments among 16 accessions of Brassica juncea studied, of which 296 bands were polymorphic with an average of 21.1% polymorphic bands per primer combination. Genetic similarities
were obtained using Nei and Li similarity coefficients, and a dendrogram of the 16 accessions was made by UPGMA clustering
method. The Nei and Li Similarity coefficient value ranged from 0.63 to 0.88. This result indicated that the 16 accessions
of B. juncea possessed high level genetic variations. The cluster analysis showed that the vegetable mustards could be grouped into two
main groups and some minor rami, which was partially in accordance with the traditional classification that based on different
edible organs of vegetable mustards. The incongruity between morphological and molecular classification might be attributed
to the high selection pressure during domestication of Chinese vegetable mustards, producing some accessions with similar
genetic backgrounds evolving into abundant morphological variations. The great diversification among Chinese vegetable mustards
not only provides an excellent object for molecular evolution research of B. juncea but also is of great value for widening the genetic basis of breeding programs and breeding materials selection. Besides,
our study also indicates that AFLP are informative and can provide significant insights for genetic diversity research in
B. juncea. 相似文献
