The optimal SRAP-PCR system for Lonicera caerulea L. was 20 ktL SRAP-PCR amplification reaction solution containing 2.0 μL 10×PCR buffer, 1.0 U Taq DNA polymerase, 30 ng template DNA, 0.2 mmol·L-1 dNTPs, 2.0 mmol·L-1 Mg2＋ and 0.2μmol·L-1 primer. The suitable amplification procedure consisted of an initial denaturation at 94℃ for 5 min; denaturation at 94℃ for 1 min, annealing at 35℃ for 1 rain, extension at 72℃ for 90 s and in total five cycles; denaturation at 94℃ for 1 min, annealing at 50℃ for 1 min, extension at 72℃ for 90 s and in total 35 cycles; extension at 72℃ for 8 rain; preservation at 4℃. The procedures and systems could meet the demand for SRAP amplification of Lonicera caerulea L. and would play an important role in Lonicera caerulea L. germplasm identification and genetic diversity analysis.展开更多

However,its genetics and genomic information is limited. Transcriptome and digital gene expression( DGE) profiles of fruit at four different development stages were compared. Related genes with anthocyanin biosynthesis were compared using real-time quantitative PCR( qRT-PCR). RNA-Seq generated 6. 26-Gb clean reads,which was then de novo assembled into 45,656 UniG enes with a mean length 837 bp. A total of 7 928 unigenes were annotated into 32 known metabolic or signaling pathways in which a few primary,intermediate,and secondary metabolic pathways are directly related to fruit quality. The result of DGE and qRT-PCR indicates that UFGT( comp20132_c0) may play a key role in honeysuckle coloration. This provides a reference for the study of complicated metabolism in non-model perennial species.展开更多

Self-compatibility and open pollination compatibility among different fine plants provide theoretical basis for its further application and further selection of new varieties. The results showed the optimal medium for germination of L. caerulea pollen was 27.5% sucrose ＋ 100 PPM boric acid with a pH value of 6.0. On this medium, the superior individuals L1, L2 and L3 had the pollen germination rates of 53.4%, 50.9% and 51.6%, respectively. The three superior individuals had no significant differences in the quantity of germinated pollen tubes, which ranged from 1 to 4. The three excellent single plants were the most likely to germinate a single pollen tube, accounting for 83.3% of the pollen germinated and 89.6% of the pollen germinated. Therefore, in production, it is necessary to plant L1 with a certain amount of pollination trees or plant it together with multiple species, to improve its yield. On the contrary, L2 and L3 have no need for pollination trees theoretically, but whether the fruits obtained by self-pollination and outcrossing differ in quality still needs further study.展开更多
