  • 본 연구에서는 정수 환경에 정착한 3생활형 9분류군의 식물을 대상으로 1년동안 정기적으로 모니터링을 실시하였으며, 이를 통해 식물 생활형이 수위 조건에 따라 식물 정착에 어떠한 영향을 미치는지 밝히고자 하였다. 18개의 실험구를 셋으로 나누어 16주 범람 기간 동안 0, 20, 60cm로 수위를 각각 유지하였으며, 범람 기간을 제외한 기간은 0cm로 수위를 모두 동일하게 유지하였다. 1차년에 식재한 다년생 식물인 큰고랭이(Scirpus tabernaemontani), 줄(Zizania caduciflora), 부들속 2종(Typha angustifolia, T. orientalis)은 종자에 의한 추가적인 정착은 없었으며, 수문 조건이 밀도 및 초고 생장에 큰 영향을 미치지 않았다. 그러나 1년생 식물인 고마리(Persicaria thunbergii), 여뀌(Persicaria hydropiper), 사마귀풀(Aneilema japonicum)과 2년생인 벼룩나물(Stellaria uliginosa), 뚝새풀(Alopecurus aequalis), 개피(Beckmannia syzigachne)는 상대적으로 수문 조건에 의한 영향을 크게 받았다. 정수 환경에서 침수 수위 및 침수 기간은 상대적으로 지하경을 형성하지 못하는 1, 2년생 식물 종들의 정착 및 생육에 큰 영향을 미치는 것으로 보인다.

  • Genomes contain a large number of unique genes which have not been found in other species. Although the origin of such "orphan" genes remains unclear, they are thought to be involved in species-specific adaptive processes. Here, we analyzed seven orphan genes (MoSPC1 to MoSPC7) prioritized based on in planta expressed sequence tag data in the rice blast fungus, Magnaporthe oryzae. Expression analysis using qRT-PCR confirmed the expression of four genes (MoSPC1, MoSPC2, MoSPC3 and MoSPC7) during plant infection. However, individual deletion mutants of these four genes did not differ from the wild-type strain for all phenotypes examined, including pathogenicity. The length, GC contents, codon adaptation index and expression during mycelial growth of the four genes suggest that these genes formed during the evolutionary history of M. oryzae. Synteny analyses using closely related fungal species corroborated the notion that these genes evolved de novo in the M. oryzae genome. In this report, we discuss our inability to detect phenotypic changes in the four deletion mutants. Based on these results, the four orphan genes may be products of de novo gene birth processes, and their adaptive potential is in the course of being tested for retention or extinction through natural selection.

  • Genetic diversity among Thaumatococcus daniellii populations in the southwestern region of Nigeria were assessed using morphometric and molecular markers to determine the population structure and existing genetic relationship for its improvement, conservation and sustainable utilisation. Populations from five locations in each of the six states were used for the study. Morphometric data were collected on folia characters and analysed for variability. Genome DNA was isolated from the plant leaf and amplified by polymerase chain reaction with inter-simple sequence repeat markers (ISSR) to determine the allelic polymorphism, marker effectiveness and genetic relationship of the population. The results showed significant variations in petiole length and leaf dimensions of the populations within and across the states. These morphometric traits are the major parameters that delimit the populations and they correlated significantly at P≤0.05. Analysis of the electrophoregram showed that the ISSR markers are effective for the diversity study. A total of 136 loci were amplified with an average of 7.16 loci per marker, 63.2% of the loci were polymorphic. The Principal Coordinate Analysis revealed that seven factors accounted for 81.6% of the variation and the dendrogram separated the populations into two major groups at a genetic distance of 10 (about 90% similarity) with sub-groups and clusters. Most populations within the state had a high degree of similarity, nonetheless, strong genetic relationship exists among populations from different states. The close relationship between populations across the states suggests a common progenitor, which are likely separated by ecological or geographical isolation mechanisms.
