A complex cascade of enzymes is responsible for the development of starch granules in grain endosperm. Granule Bound Starch Synthase I (GBSSI), encoded by the Waxy gene, is a key enzyme of starch synthesis and determines the accumulation of amylose in the starch granules. The complete genomic GBSSI sequence was ascertained for eight Australian cereal wild relatives (CWR) to determine diversity within the gene. A phylogeny derived from the coding sequence of the entire Waxy gene was compared to established phylogenetic relationships. Starch granule morphology observed in conjunction with this phylogeny suggests that small polygonal starch granules arranged as compound granules are the ancestral state, evolving subsequently to bimodal starch granules and to larger simple granules. Genomic sequence length varied within the species from 2800 to 3572 bp. Most variation occurred within the intron sequences, the largest insertion showing strong homology to a retrotransposon. One wild species was determined to have a deletion in the 3′-end of exon 1 resulting in a putatively non-functional allele. Alignment of the amino acid sequence showed strong homology throughout the central fragments of the gene but broad variation in the transit peptides. All putative functional alleles maintained the reported active sites for glycogen synthesis, though with variations in other highly conserved areas of the gene. These variations within the wild relatives of cultivated cereals may provide novel sources of genetic diversity for future cereal improvement programs. 相似文献

Five transgressive variants (advanced breeding lines from BC2F5 and BC2F6 generation) were derived from a cross between the wild relative, O. rufipogon Griff. and O. sativa L. subsp. indica cv. MR219, a popular high yielding Malaysian rice cultivar. The aim of the study was to evaluate the pericarp colour of the grains along with yield potential and to validate quantitative trait loci (QTLs) for agronomic traits. The variants were screened against blast disease. Background marker analysis was also done for the promising variants. The field trials were carried out at a single location (due to containment purposes) over two seasons using randomized complete block design (RCBD) with three replications. A trait-based marker analysis was used to identify QTLs for validation in BC2F5 generation. Analysis of variance (ANOVA) showed that the seasonal factors influenced different agronomic traits. Variant G33 produced significantly (p < 0.05) higher yield (5.20 t/ha) than the control, MR219 (4.53 t/ha). Eighteen QTLs for different agronomic traits were identified in BC2F2 population in a previous study. Among them 14 QTLs were found in BC2F5 population of the present study. The yield of variant G33 was influenced by several QTLs viz. qGPL-1, qSPL-1-2, qSPL-8 and qYLD-4, which were introgressed from the donor parent revealed by background marker analysis using BC2F7 generation. Percentage (99%) of red pericarp grain of G33 and G34 in BC2F5 and BC2F6 generations indicated the stability of pericarp colour which was transferred from the wild relative. Variant G33 showed resistance against two pathotype of blast disease (Magnaporthe oryzae). Among the evaluated variants, G33 could be considered for inclusion in the cultivar development program for red rice with high yield potential and resistance to blast disease. This study demonstrated that the alleles from wild relative could improve the yield and yield related traits through allelic interaction, even though the phenotypic traits were inferior to the recurrent parent. 相似文献

This study reports the results of the partial DNA sequence analysis of the 5-enolpyruvyl-shikimate-3-phosphate synthase (EPSPS) gene in glyphosate-resistant (R) and glyphosate-susceptible (S) biotypes of Eleusine indica (L.) Gaertn from Peninsular Malaysia. Sequencing results revealed point mutation at nucleotide position 875 in the R biotypes of Bidor, Chaah and Temerloh. In the Chaah R population, substitution of cytosine (C) to adenine (A) resulted in the change of threonine (Thr106) to proline (Pro106) and from C to thymidine (T) in the Bidor R population, leading to serine (Ser106) from Pro106. As for the Temerloh R, C was substituted by T resulting in the change of Pro106 to Ser106. A new mutation previously undetected in the Temerloh R was revealed with C being substituted with A, resulting in the change of Pro106 to Thr106 indicating multiple founding events rather than to the spread of a single resistant allele. There was no point mutation recorded at nucleotide position 875 previously demonstrated to play a pivotal role in conferring glyphosate resistance to E. indica for the Lenggeng, Kuala Selangor, Melaka R populations. Thus, there may be another resistance mechanism yet undiscovered in the resistant Lenggeng, Kuala Selangor and Melaka populations. 相似文献

In the megadiverse forests of Southeast Asia,hundreds of timber species are economically important but the population genetics of only a few taxa are known.Cross-specific amplification of microsatellite loci among closely related taxa could enhance our ability to study and manage previously unstudied species. We successfully utilized STMS markers in Shorea platyclados, originally developed for Shorea curtisii. The six primer pairs we tried successfully produced PCR products of expected sizes. The number of alleles observed ranged from 10 to 14 and an average of 12 alleles were detected per locus. A high expected and observed heterozygosity was observed and it ranges from 0.718 to 0.827 among all populations across all six loci tested. Microsatellite DNA markers are highly polymorphic, co-dominant, reproducible, and amenable to high throughput genetic analyses. Overall, the crossspecific amplification of microsatellite loci appears to be complicated by numerous factors. While the approach may be effective for local management and conservation ofpoorly known species, the results must be carefully interpreted. 相似文献

We examined the effect of selective logging on the genetic diversity of Scaphium macropodum using RAPD markers via two approaches: (1) to investigate the immediate effect by studying a same population before and after logging, and (2) to determine the long term effect by comparing two regenerated stands with an adjacent unlogged stand, assuming that they were genetically identical before logging. Results showed no negative immediate impact for the first approach, probably due to the high abundance and heterogeneity of S. macropodum in the compartment investigated. However, for the latter approach, substantial genetic erosion (i.e. 31.5% reduction for Shannon diversity, H) was detected in one of the regenerated stands corresponding to its extremely low tree density for S. macropodum. This implies the possible occurrence of genetic drift and increased inbreeding due to population decline as a result of logging. However, the observed genetic differences among the three sub-populations having prevailed before logging cannot be totally discounted in the second approach. This study also demonstrates the use of tree density as a good surrogate measure of genetic diversity. The present harvesting system in Malaysia based on a general cutting limit need to be refined; the basis for determining cutting limit in a forest management unit should consider abundance of commercial species. 相似文献

The objective of this study was to compare the wood properties related to wood pulp quality of two widely planted Acacia species viz.Acacia mangium Willd.and Acacia auriculiformis A.Cunn.Ex Benth.and their hybrid.Acid insoluble lignin content(Klason),mean stem density and fibre length differed considerably among the species and hybrids.A.mangium possessed a high percent of lignin content compared to A.auriculiformis and the Acacia hybrid.However,mean stem density of A.auriculiformis was higher than A.mangium and the hybrid.Fibre length of heartwood tissues was generally shorter than that of sapwood tissues.The hybrid had longer fibres than the parent species.Lignin was negatively correlated with mean stem density.Generally,the wood properties of the hybrid were superior to its parent species.The significant intraspecific variation observed for wood properties of Acacia species could be used in breeding superior hybrids combining desirable traits of the two species.Considering thedifficulty involved in accurately measuring the lignin content compared to mean stem density,selection for plants with low lignin content can be achieved by indirect selection of high mean stem density. 相似文献

Near isogenic lines carrying large-effect QTL (qtl12.1), which has a consistent influence on grain yield under upland drought stress conditions in a wide range of environments, were evaluated under water stress in the fields. The line which gave higher yield under drought was crossed with a local elite line, PMK3, and forwarded to F2:3 generation. Significant variation was found among the F2:3 lines for agronomic traits under water stress in the fields. Low to high broad sense heritability (H) for investigated traits was also found. Water stress indicators such as leaf rolling and leaf drying were negatively correlated with plant height, biomass and grain yield under stress. Bulked segregant analysis (BSA) was performed with the markers in the vicinity of qtl12.1, and RM27933 was found to be segregated perfectly well in individual components of drought resistant and drought susceptible bulks which were bulked based on yield under water stress among F2:3 lines. Hence, this simple and breeder friendly marker, RM27933, may be useful as a potentially valuable candidate marker for the transfer of the QTL qtl12.1 in the regional breeding program. Bioinformatic analysis of the DNA sequence of the qtl12.1 region was also done to identify and analyze positional candidate genes associated with this QTL and to ascertain the putative molecular basis of qtl12.1. 相似文献

Full-sib families are produced from artificially controlled pollination in tree breeding. This mating design is, however, very costly and logistically difficult as most tree species are large in size. With the development of molecular markers, known relationships among the offspring could be established from the maximum likelihood in paternity analysis. In this study, we successfully established full-sib families on the basis of paternity analysis of offspring derived from two Shorea platyclados seed parents from the natural forest. A total of 2,049 and 970 offspring were collected from two mother trees M01 and M06, respectively. Potential pollen donors surrounding the mother trees were sampled, specifically a total of 77 adult trees within the 10-ha plot for M01 and 28 adult trees within the 4-ha plot for M06. For mother tree M01, parentage was assigned to 45.4% of the offspring at the 95% confidence level with 59 full-sib families established. For mother tree M06, parentage was assigned to 19.9% of the offspring at the 95% confidence level with 19 full-sib families established. The establishment of full-sib families in S. platyclados enables breeding in dipterocarp tree species, once a decade-long proposition, to become more efficient in a cost-saving manner. 相似文献

Gene polymorphisms in glyphosate-resistant and -susceptible biotypes of Eleusine indica from Malaysia 总被引：3，自引：0，他引：3
Summary Resistant (R) and susceptible (S) biotypes of Eleusine indica were collected from four areas, namely Chaah, Lenggeng, Bidor and Temerloh, in Malaysia. Restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) and polymerase chain reaction (PCR)-RFLP analyses using Sph I restriction enzyme were able to differentiate the R biotype from the S biotype by showing R-specific and S-specific polymorphisms in E. indica from three of the areas, with the exception of Temerloh where no polymorphisms were detected. The different DNA profiles for the R biotypes obtained indicate that Sph I is not a useful diagnostic marker. The DNA polymorphisms detected in the 5-enolpyruvylshikimate 3-phosphate (EPSP) synthase gene suggest that there are different mutation events leading to development of resistance to glyphosate. Partial sequencing of the EPSP synthase gene confirmed different mutations occurring with substitution of proline with serine or threonine at amino acid 106 for the R biotype in Chaah, Bidor and Temerloh. 相似文献
