文摘目的 分析药用植物富民枳Poncirus polyandra叶绿体基因组蛋白编码基因密码子使用模式及影响因素。方法 以富民枳叶绿体基因组53个蛋白编码基因为材料,利用CodonW软件、CUSP在线程序和R语言等整理并分析基因密码子使用偏性参数和核苷酸组成。结果 富民枳叶绿体基因组密码子各位置GC含量不同,偏好以A/U结尾;有效密码子数(effective number of codon,ENC)介于39.79~59.37,密码子偏好性较弱;密码子第3位碱基GC_(3)和ENC之间呈显著正相关;影响因素绘图分析结果表明自然选择对密码子使用模式有重要影响,共确定了12个最优密码子,且均偏向于A/U结尾。结论 富民枳叶绿体基因组密码子第3位碱基偏向使用A或U结尾,密码子偏性受自然选择影响最大,同时还受到突变等因素的共同影响。
