The FISH results showed that both 38J9 and RZ69 were located in the middle of 4S in O. officinalis and the centromere area of 4S in O. sativa. In O. officinalis the percentage distances from the centromere to the hybridization sites were 20.00 +/- 5.40 and 22.12 +/- 3.44, the detection rates were 50.00% and 6.14%, but in O. sativa they were 0 and 0, 56.10% and 6.29% correspondingly. The results obtained from the BAC and RFLP clone were almost the same in the cultivated rice and O. officinalis. It was suggested that die marker RZ69 of the cultivated rice and its homologous sequence in O. officinalis were in the same BAC clone, the homologous sequence of Bph3 in O. officinalis should be located at the sites hybridized by both RZ69 and 38J9. Many signals on different chromosomes of O. officinalis were observed under no blocking with Cot-1 DNA, showing that the repetitive sequences were also homologous between O. sativa and O. officinalis. The identification of chromosome 4 of O. officinalis is based on comparative map with RG214 and BAC clone screened by RG214. The feasibility of comparative physical mapping performed between O. sativa and O. officinalis with rice BAC clones was discussed.展开更多

Rice ( Oryza sativa L.) is a model plant, and analysis of its genome allows us to reveal the common features and the evolutionary rules of the gramineous genomes and accumulate the data for establishment of a common genetic system in the Poaceae. In this study, a rice gene Pib ( 10.3 kb), a map-based cloned gene, and RFLP markers linked with it are used as the tested probes to investigate their homology and physical location among the tested species. Southern blotting analysis showed that there were sequences homologous to Pib in maize genome. Further, Pib was localized onto the chromosomes of O. sativa ssp. indica cv. Guangluai 4, O. officinalis Wall ex Watt and the inbred line of Zea mays cv. Huangzao 4. The results of fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) and double-color FISH indicated that a synteny of Pib and RFLP markers linked with Pib existed among the genomes of the three tested species.展开更多

An F1 population comprising 94 Jian carp individuals was mapped using 254 microsatellite markers. The genetic map spanned 1 381.592 c M and comprised 44 linkage groups,with an average marker distance of 6.58 c M. We identified eight quantitative trait loci(QTLs) for body weight(BW) in seven linkage groups,explaining 12.6% to 17.3% of the phenotypic variance. Comparative mapping was performed between Jian carp and mirror carp( Cyprinus carpio L.),which both have 50 chromosomes. One hundred and ninety-eight Jian carp marker loci were found in common with the mirror carp map,with 186(93.94%) showing synteny. All 44 Jian carp linkage groups could be one-to-one aligned to the 44 mirror carp linkage groups,mostly sharing two or more common loci. Three QTLs for BW in Jian carp were conserved in mirror carp. QTL comparison suggested that the QTL confidence interval in mirror carp was more precise than the homologous interval in Jian carp,which was contained within the QTL interval in Jian carp. The syntenic relationship and consensus QTLs between the two varieties provide a foundation for genomic research and genetic breeding in common carp.展开更多
