Oryza granulata, an upland wild rice species, represents an unique germplasm for possessing abilities of tolerance to shade and drought,
immune to bacterial blight and resistance to brown planthopper. Although low degree of genetic variability has been revealed
within its populations, little genetic information at the species level is available in determining rational conservation
strategies. Here we used dominant DNA marker random amplified polymorphism DNA (RAPD) to assess the genetic variability among
23 accessions of O. granulata that collected from main distribution areas worldwide. Twenty decamer primers generated a total of 243 bands, with 83.5%
of them (203 bands) being polymorphic. Calculation of Shannon index of diversity revealed an average value of 0.42 ± 0.25,
indicating that O. granulata maintains a relatively high degree of genetic diversity on the species level. Analysis of genetic dissimilarity (GD) showed
that genetic differentiation occurred among studied accessions, which supports the feasibility of current ex situ conservation strategies. We also suggested that information based on population studies, which could be achieved by international
co-operation, is needed to conserve this widespread germplasm more effectively. 相似文献

Wild annual Cicer gene pools contain valuable germplasm for chickpea improvement programs. Previous research showed that duplication might
exist in accessions collected from these gene pools, which would hinder chickpea breeding and related research. AFLP (amplified
fragment length polymorphism) markers were used to fingerprint the world collections of the primary and secondary gene pools
including C. reticulatum Lad., C. bijugum K.H. Rech., C. judaicum Boiss. and C. pinnatifidum Jaub. et Sp. Duplicates were detected in a total of 24 accessions in both the gene pools, highlighting the necessity to fingerprint
the germplasm. Genotypic difference was detected as gene pool specific, species specific and accession specific AFLP markers.
These were developed into fingerprinting keys for accession identification between and within species and gene pools. Use
of AFLP markers to detect duplicates and to identify accessions is a reliable method which will assist in the characterisation
and use of wild annual Cicer germplasm in chickpea improvement programs. We recommend the procedure presented in this paper as a standard approach for
the precise genetic identification and characterisation of future world collections of wild Cicer, to keep germplasm integrity and to benefit chickpea breeding and related research programs. 相似文献

Solanum vespertilio Aiton and Solanum lidii Sunding are endemic, endangered wild species from the Canary Islands. These species are of potential value for eggplant (S. melongena) breeding, given that they are part of the secondary genepool of this crop. We study genetic diversity with amplified fragment
length polymorphisms (AFLPs) markers from 5 populations of S. vespertilio (47 samples) and 3 of S. lidii (26 samples). Five related African species (S. dasyphyllum Schumach. et Thonn., S. delagoense Dunal, S. campylacanthum Hochst., S. panduriforme E. Mey, S. aff. violaceum Ortega) were also included in the analysis. A total of 235 AFLP markers included 178 and 156 that were polymorphic in S. vespertilio and S. lidii, respectively. Analysis of genetic distance, phenograms, and principal component plots showed that these rare Canarian species
are differentiated (G
ST = 0.412) from the continental materials and that Solanum vespertilio is more distinct to its African congeners than is S. lidii. There is a relatively high level of differentiation between the two species (G
ST = 0.373), that presumably reflects geographic restrictions (S. lidii to Gran Canaria; S. vespertilio essentially to Tenerife). However, both species have similar levels of total diversity. We speculate that the combination
of the many unusual reproductive features (andromonoecy, zygomorphy, heteranthery and weak enantiostyly in S. vespertilio) help explain genetic diversity that is high for self compatible species. The high genetic diversity may also indicate populations
were larger in the past. A decrease in population size could contribute to the relatively low genetic differentiation among
the populations. The data presented herein provide the foundation for initiation of ex situ and in situ conservation programs
for these wild relatives of eggplant.
This paper is dedicated to the memory of Dr. Richard N. Lester, who made significant contributions to the taxonomy, biosystematics
and conservation of genetic resources of African species of Solanum. 相似文献

This paper presents an effective method for prioritizing areas within a country for acquisition of germplasm of a crop gene
pool for ex situ conservation. The method was applied to the rare wild pepper species, Capsicum flexuosum Sendtn., in south-east Paraguay. A model to prioritize areas for collecting germplasm was constructed by combining (1) a
prediction of the species' geographic distribution based on the climate at previous collection points, (2) the distribution
of forest margins (the species' natural habitat) and (3) areas accessible by road. The model was then tested in the field
by visiting 20 sites having both high and low predicted probability of occurrence of C. flexuosum. Six new populations were found, representing a significant improvement over two previous collecting missions for the species
in the same region, undertaken without the use of GIS targeting. Using the most optimistic analysis of model performance,
C. flexuosum was found at five out of seven points predicted to harbour the species and not found at four of five points predicted not
to harbour the species. The model was then improved by the use of higher resolution climate surfaces. It is recommended that
future explorers use more recent and higher resolution satellite images to locate suitable habitats. The method is replicable
for different species in different geographic regions and is offered as a means of optimizing efficiency in financially constrained,
national plant genetic resources programs. 相似文献

The genetic diversity in genus Prunus is mainly confined to temperate regions of Himalaya and to a lesser extent in the sub-montane and hilly regions of peninsular
India. The cultivated and wild species of Prunus have tremendous potential for improvement and utilization. This paper includes the genetic resources of cultivated and wild
useful species of Prunus in India with emphasis on their distribution, potential traits/ useful characteristics and utilization. The information on
potential genetic resources of Prunus would be helpful in collection, evaluation, conservation and utilization of species. 相似文献

Six species of the genus Prunus occur inAndalusia. Matters regarding their ecology, ethnobotanical aspectsand conservation are discussed, as well as knowledge about thegermplasm of those species with greater economic importance and theirdegree of conservation, namely: P.avium, P.mahaleb and P.insititia. Various conservation measures areproposed for wild germplasm and for the germplasm of local varieties:a) conservation efforts should target the best populations,except in the case of P.avium and P.insititia, where every individual should beaddressed, including both wild and local cultivars; b) theDehesa del Camarate (Sierra Nevada) is proposed as an areafor in situ germplasm conservation; c) theawareness of the importance of Prunus germplasmshould be increased among forest workers, environmental managers andthe public; d) some silvicultural techniques are proposed, suchas mixed Prunus patches, hedge treatment,Z-tree selection at the early stages and the protection ofroot suckers; e) improved, selected P.avium and P.mahaleb germplasm should be used at highlyproductive sites since these two species can be cultivated as highvalue timber trees; f) some Prunus speciescan also provide profitable NTFPs in the region. Details regardingdifferent collection areas are covered. Finally, some topics arerecommended for scientific research. Three tables and a distributionmap of Prunus species in Andalusia areincluded. 相似文献

Lupinus angustifolius L. is a Mediterranean species, domesticated in the 20th century, representing an important grain legume crop in Australia
and other countries. This work is focused on the collection of wild germplasm and on the characterisation of morphological
and molecular diversity of germplasm accessions. It reports the collection of 81 wild L. angustifolius accessions from the South and Centre of Portugal, available at the ‘Instituto Superior de Agronomia Gene Bank’, with subsequent
morphological and molecular characterisation of a selection of these and other accessions. A multivariate analysis of morphological
traits on 88 L. angustifolius accessions (including 59 wild Portuguese accessions, 15 cultivars and 14 breeding lines) showed a cline of variation on wild
germplasm, with plants from Southern Portugal characterised by earlier flowering, higher vegetative development and larger
seeds. AFLP and ISSR molecular markers grouped modern cultivars as sub-clusters within the wider diversity of wild germplasm,
revealing the narrow pool of genetic diversity on which domesticated accessions are based. The importance of preserving, characterising
and using wild genetic resources for L. angustifolius crop improvement is outlined by the results obtained. 相似文献

When planning optimal conservation strategies for wild and cultivated types of a plant species, a number of influencing biological
and environmental factors should be considered from the outset. In the present study Brassica rapa was used to illustrate this: to develop Scandinavian conservation strategies for wild and cultivated B. rapa, DNA-marker analysis was performed on 15 cultivated and 17 wild accessions of B. rapa plus 8 accessions of the cross compatible B. napus. The B. rapa cultivars were bred in Sweden and Finland in 1944–1997 and the wild B. rapa material was collected from Denmark, Sweden and United Kingdom. The B. napus accessions were bred within the last 20 years in the Scandinavian countries. Results were based on scoring of 131 polymorphic
ISSR markers in the total plant material. A Bayesian Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) approach implemented in NewHybrids demonstrated
a clear distinction of B. rapa and B. napus individuals except for three individuals that seemed to be backcrosses. The backcrossed hybrids descended from two Swedish
populations, one wild and one escaped. The overall pattern of genetic variation and structure in B. rapa showed that cultivated and wild B. rapa accessions formed two almost separated clusters. Geographical origin and breeding history of cultivars were reflected in
these genetic relationships. In addition, wild populations from Denmark and Sweden seemed to be closely related, except for
a Swedish population, which seemingly was an escaped cultivar. The study point to that many processes, e.g. spontaneous introgression,
naturalisation, breeding and agricultural practise affected the genetic structure of wild and cultivated B. rapa populations. 相似文献

Reliable characterization of the variation among wild and cultivated yams in Nigeria is essential for improved management
and efficient utilization of yam genetic resources. RAPD and double stringency PCR (DS-PCR) analyses were used to investigate
genetic relationships and the extent of redundancy among 30 accessions of two cultivated, and 35 accessions of four wild yam
species collected from Nigeria. Twenty-five selected random decamer and two microsatellite primers were used individually
and in combination to generate DNA profiles for each accession of the six Dioscorea species. The number of amplified fragments varied from 7 to 18 fragments per primer/primer combination. Different levels
of intraspecific genetic diversity were found, with Dioscorea rotundata Poir. being the most variable. Based on identical profiles for the RAPD and DS-PCR primers, 12 duplication groups consisting
of a total number of 37 accessions were observed in the present study. An UPGMA analysis grouped the majority of plants according
to the species. Cultivated yams belonging to the D. cayenensis–rotundata species complex, which were classified into seven morphotypes/varietal groups, could be clearly separated into two major
groups corresponding to D. rotundata Poir. and D. cayenensis Lam. D. cayenensis cultivars exhibited a low level of intraspecific variation and were genetically close to the wild species Dioscorea burkilliana J. Miège. D. rotundata cultivars classified into six varietal groups showed a high degree of DNA polymorphism and were separated into two major
groups that appeared most closely related to Dioscorea praehensilis Benth. and Dioscorea liebrechtsiana de Wild. We propose, based on these results, that cultivars classified into D. cayenensis should be considered as a taxon separate from D. rotundata. The implications of intraspecific variability for the ex situ conservation of wild and cultivated yam germplasm in Nigeria are discussed. 相似文献

Summary The accurate identification and classification of wild species enhance the utilization of potential plant genetic resources. The wild rye species Secale vavilovii Grossh. may serve to broaden the genetic variation in cultivated rye, S. cereale. The combined analyses of cytological, isozymic and other genetic characteristics in the present study revealed that of the fourteen rye accessions designated as S. vavilovii, only three accessions were correctly classified. Thus it is essential to increase multidisciplinary, international research and collaboration to aid in the classification and utilization of the yet untapped plant germplasm. 相似文献

The wild soybean, an annual self-pollinating plant, is the progenitor of soybeans and is extensively distributed in the Far
East of Russia, the Korea peninsula, China and Japan. Geographically, Japan is surrounded by sea and insulated from China.
We preliminarily evaluate whether the Japanese and Chinese wild soybean germplasm pools are genetically differentiated from
each other using SSR markers. The results showed that the two pools have great genetic differentiation. Some loci presented
obvious differences in mean genetic divergence (GST) value between the two pools. The GST among the geographic regions in China was higher than that in Japan. The average within-geographic region gene diversity
values (HS) in the two pools were completely identical and thus the genetic difference between the two pools was mostly attributed to
the relatively high level of between-geographic region gene diversity (DST) in China. We suggest that Japanese and Chinese wild soybeans should be comparatively independently evolving in phylogeny. 相似文献

Here, we investigated the transferability of 60 microsatellite markers characterized for cultivated rice Oryza sativa L. in three wild Oryza species representing different genome types: O. rufipogon Griff. (AA), O. officinalis Wall. et Watt. (CC), and O. granulate Nees et Arn. ex Watt. (G). The results indicate the 60 rice SSR loci tested produced homologous amplification products to
different extents in O. rufipogon (100%), O. officinalis (90%) and O. granulata (73.3%). Proportions of polymorphism for successfully amplified loci ranged from 0.983 via 0.667 to 0.364 in O. rufipogon, O. officinalis and O. granulata, respectively. The utility of these microsatellite markers was tested for the characterization of genetic diversity in 117
genotypes of these four Oryza species. The values of genetic diversity in cultivated rice are higher than the other two wild species O. officinalis and O. granulata, suggesting microsatellites tend to have more variability in the focal species than in non-focal species to which they are
applied. However, much lower levels of genetic variation were observed in rice than in its wild progenitor O. rufipogon, which indicates severe loss of genetic variation may reflect the ‘domestication bottleneck’ through which rice passed. The
observation that most of the rice microsatellites are able to detect allelic polymorphisms at different extent in Oryza species suggest that rice microsatellite loci should be useful for the analysis of genetic diversity and inter- and intra-specific
relationships in the genus. Therefore, high rates of successful cross-amplification of rice microsatellites among Oryza species with different genome types will offer excellent opportunities to investigate the population genetic structure of
wild rice species and explore their conservation genetics. 相似文献

Interest in bean genetic resources of Central America has resumed because of disease pressures (e.g., web blight, BGMV) and limitations of current bean varieties. As most of the diversity in landraces has been explored, focus is now on the exploration of wild forms of the primary gene pool and wild species of the secondary gene pool. A germplasm collection was carried out in the field and resulted in the collection of 29 wild populations for six Phaseolus species; it complemented field work done in 1987. Nine more populations were found for P. costaricensis, 10 for wild P. lunatus, one for P. oligospermus, one for P. tuerckheimii, four for wild P. vulgaris and four for P. xanthotrichus. Ninety-three herbarium voucher specimens were collected for 19 populations of the six species (deposited at CR). These results confirm the presence of wild P. vulgaris on both slopes of the central valley of Costa Rica, namely in the life zones bh-MB and bmh-P, and of P. costaricensis in the life zone bmh-MB. These life zones of limited range in Costa Rica have been heavily modified, thus fully justifying the germplasm collection for ex situ conservation. For both species the range of distribution in Costa Rica has been almost completely sampled. The life characteristics of each species that are relevant for their conservation in situ are briefly reviewed. Distribution ranges of each wild bean species are compared with the present extension of national parks, protected areas and fauna/flora sanctuaries, and suggestions for expanding such protected areas are made. 相似文献

The genus Nicotiana is a member of the nightshade (Solanaceae) family, and is comprised of 70 currently recognized, naturally occurring species.
Genetic variability within N. tabacum L., the species of primary economic importance, was likely affected by several genetic bottlenecks. Nicotiana tabacum is a classic amphidiploid that arose after chance interspecific hybridization between N. sylvestris Spegazinni et Comes and a member of section Tomentosae, likely N. tomentosiformis Goodspeed, N. otophora Grisebach, or an introgressive hybrid between the two. Only a fraction of the genetic variability that existed in the diploid
progenitor gene pools probably entered into N. tabacum. Genetic drift, coupled with natural and human selection, subsequently resulted in the formation of narrow genetic pools
corresponding to modern commercial market classes. Genetic variability in Nicotiana has gained increased attention in recent years because of investment in Nicotiana genomics research, interest in development of tobacco products with reduced harm characteristics, and concentration on using
Nicotiana species for plant-based production of commercially useful proteins. A storehouse of genetic diversity for N. tabacum is available in approximately 1,900 accessions maintained by the United States Nicotiana Germplasm Collection. Seeds of 224 accessions representing 59 wild Nicotiana species are also maintained. The collection is currently maintained by North Carolina State University and is part of the
United States National Plant Germplasm System (NPGS). The collection’s curator satisfies hundreds of seed requests made annually
by scientists using Nicotiana germplasm for basic biological investigations and by researchers in the area of applied tobacco science. 相似文献

Summary The potentials of the species of Centrosema as pasture and fodder crops in Tropical and Subtropical areas have promoted their germplasm collection and evaluation in Brazil and other countries of Central and South America. The species C. acutifolium, C. pubescens and C. brasilianum are of particular interest. Samples of the same accessions form wild materials collected in Brazil have been agronomically evaluated in Brazil and Colombia, and handled as self-pollinating species. Pairs of samples (one from Brazil and the other from Colombia) of four accessions have been genetically analyzed using isozyme markers at 16 loci. A noticeable genetic differentiation has occurred between members of each pair in few generations. Experimental evidences indicate that frequency of outcrossing are relatively high in these species. It is proposed that outcrossing between non-isolated neighboring accessions and genetic drift in small size plantings are the causes of the genetic differentiation between Brazilian and Colombian samples. Guides to evaluate and multiply Centrosema germplasm are suggested. 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

Worldwide genetic diversity in 200 individuals comprising 41 castor bean accessions was assessed using amplified fragment
polymorphisms (AFLPs) and simple sequence repeats (SSRs). We found that, despite surveying five continents and 35 countries,
genetic diversity in castor bean germplasm is relatively low (overall H
e = 0.126 for AFLPs and 0.188 for SSRs) compared to estimates of genetic diversity in other plant species. Our data also show
no geographic structuring of genotypes across continents or countries within continents. An assessment of the congruence between
AFLP and SSRs indicates a low correlation (R
2 = 0.19) between the two data sets, but each marker class nonetheless shows similar patterns of low-genetic diversity and
a lack of geographic structure. Our data do suggest that SSRs yield a higher percentage of polymorphic loci, higher heterozyosity
and a greater range of genetic distances, and are therefore more informative than are AFLPs on a locus-by-locus basis. Based
on comparisons with numerous other plant species, we suggest that the lower genetic variation in this worldwide collection
may be due to one or more factors including: sampling strategies that have not captured the full extent of genetic variation
in the species; artifactual variation due to long-term germplasm storage and seed regeneration; or intense selection followed
by domestic cultivation of a limited number of castor bean genotypes, which are widely propagated for their horticultural
and agro-economic value. 相似文献

Thailand is a center of diversity for section Angulares of the Asian Vigna (genus Vigna subgenus Ceratotropis) and 4 Vigna species are cultivated in Thailand. Using newly collected wild and cultivated germplasm of Vigna from Thailand and outgroup accessions AFLP analysis was conducted to clarify genetic diversity and relationships. The results
suggest that cultivated V. umbellata and V. mungo evolved from wild relatives in a single domestication event. Vigna umbellata is poorly differentiated from its wild and weedy relatives compared to V. mungo. Results suggest northern Thailand and the neighboring Shan state, Myanmar, is the probable center of domestication for V. umbellata as wild accessions from this area and cultivated rice bean from a wide area in Asia are not greatly diverged. Vigna minima, V. tenuicaulis and V. exilis accessions in Thailand are well differentiated with considerable intra-specific variation. Vigna hirtella consists of two well differentiated subgroups, suggesting taxonomic revision may be necessary. Close genetic relationships
between V. radiata and V. grandiflora, and between V. mungo and V. trinervia are confirmed. Naturally growing V. mungo populations in northern Thailand appear to be true wild species as they are well differentiated from Indian wild and Thai
cultivated populations. The origin of naturally growing cowpea in Thailand needs to be further studied using a more comprehensive
set of materials. This study clarifies inter and intra-specific genetic diversity and inter species relationships of Thai
Vigna species. 相似文献

To improve understanding of diversity of Lablab purpureus and establish relationships among 103 germplasm accessions collected from diverse geographic origins, amplified fragment
length polymorphism markers were used. Four primer sets selected out of 16 produced 289 clear, repeatable polymorphisms. UPGMA
analysis of similarity data clustered the accessions according to their subspecific taxonomic organization, i.e., subsp. purpureus and subsp. uncinatus, as well as to cultivated and wild forms. The well-represented landraces from Africa and Asia, belonging predominantly to
subsp. purpureus, displayed moderate genetic diversity. Wild forms from Africa showed far greater levels of diversity that would justify taxonomic
re-assessment of the wild subsp. uncinatus. The molecular analysis identified forms that were collected in the wild in India but were genetically placed intermediate
between wild and cultivated forms. As these plant types did not exist among the African accessions, it is suggested that they
might represent escapes from early attempts of domestication. These results support the suggested pathway of domestication
and distribution of L. purpureus from Africa to Asia. Additional members to a previously published core collection of the species are proposed. 相似文献

Genetic structure of three wild populations (Xinyuan, Gongliu and Daxigou) of apricot in the Ily Valley, Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous
Region of China, was investigated with microsatellite (simple sequence repeat, SSR) markers. The higher polymorphism and greater
transportability of these markers between Prunus species proved SSR markers were much efficient for conducting genetic diversity studies in wild apricot. Nei's gene diversity
(He) and Shannon's index of diversity (I) were 0.287 and 0.458, respectively. This indicated that the wild apricot in the Ily Valley still maintained a relatively
high level of diversity. The Gst of 0.137 and Fst of 0.164 revealed that genetic variation mainly resided among individuals
within populations (83.6–86.3%). Population differentiation could also be found according to the distribution of SSR alleles
between the populations. Mantel test showed the genetic distance between populations was significantly correlated to the geographical
distance. The modest amount of gene flow (2.684) would reduce the disjunction between wild apricots. The long-distance dispersal
of pollen by insects was probably the main way of gene flow between populations. Based on the study of population genetic
structure, an effective conservation strategy of the species was discussed. 相似文献
