Development and characterization of microsatellite markers for Alpinia oxyphylla (Zingiberaceae).

ABSTRACT: UNLABELLED: PREMISE OF THE STUDY:Microsatellite loci were isolated and characterized for population genetic studies of Alpinia oxyphylla (Zingiberaceae), a perennial rhizomatous herbaceous plant often used medicinally in China. • METHODS AND RESULTS:A total of 85 loci were identified using a magnetic bead enrichment method, of which 23 were polymorphic. The level of polymorphism was characterized in 32 individuals from two populations; the number of alleles per locus ranged from 1 to 13; and observed heterozygosity and expected heterozygosity varied from 0 to 1 (mean: 0.6441) and 0 to 0.887 (mean: 0.6241), respectively. • CONCLUSIONS:The polymorphic microsatellite markers generated from this study will be useful for genetic diversity and structure analysis of A. oxyphylla.

The complete chloroplast genome sequence of Alpinia oxyphylla Miq. and comparison analysis within the Zingiberaceae family.

Project description:Alpinia oxyphylla Miq. (A. oxyphylla) is an important edible and traditional herbal medicine. In this study, the complete chloroplast genome of A. oxyphylla was sequenced, analysed, and compared to five species in the Zingiberaceae family. The size of the A. oxyphylla chloroplast genome was 161351 bp, which consisted of a large single-copy (LSC, 87248 bp) and small single-copy (SSC, 16175 bp) region separated by a pair of inverted repeats (IRa and IRb, 28964 bp each). The genome encoded 132 unique genes, including 87 protein-coding genes, 37 tRNAs and four rRNAs. The GC content of the genome was 36.17%. A total of 53 simple sequence repeats (SSRs) and 80 long repeats were identified in the A. oxyphylla chloroplast genome. The chloroplast genome of A. oxyphylla shared the highest sequence similarity of >90% with the chloroplast genome of A. zerumbet, and six chloroplast genomes in the Zingiberaceae family were compared by using CGView Comparison Tool (CCT). According to the phylogenetic tree, the Zingiberaceae family is divided into two categories, which coincide with the classification of the characteristics of sun-like and shade-like in plants. Our results reveal the phototrophic component of NADH-dehydrogenase (ndhB and ndhC), photosystem II (psbZ) and ATP synthase (atpE, atpF) exhibit adaptive evolution under different environments, and the strength of light is an important trigger for the adaptations at the chloroplast level.

Development of 23 novel microsatellite markers of Amomum tsao-ko (Zingiberaceae) based on restriction-site-associated DNA sequencing.

Project description:Amomum tsao-ko (Zingiberaceae) is a traditional Chinese medicine and condiment, and an important economic crop in the tropical forest of southwest China. However, few simple sequence repeat (SSR) markers are available in A. tsao-ko, which is hindering genetic research in this species. The aim of this study was to develop and characterize microsatellite markers for A. tsao-ko using restriction-site-associated DNA sequencing. A total of 115,482 microsatellites were identified using MISA software, and 13,411 SSR primer pairs were designed. 100 pairs of SSR primers were selected at random and used to evaluate polymorphisms among 4 A. tsao-ko samples. Finally, 23 pairs of SSR primers with clear bands and obvious polymorphism were selected for genetic diversity analysis of 72 A. tsao-ko accessions. The number of alleles and effective number of alleles per locus ranged from 2 to 6 and from 1.315 to 3.776, respectively. The observed heterozygosity ranged from 0.208 to 0.779, and the expected heterozygosity was from 0.239 to 0.735. The average values of the polymorphic information content were 0.454. Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium (HWE) analysis showed that 10 loci significantly deviated from HWE (P < 0.05). The pairwise FST and genetic distance values revealed low levels of genetic differentiation and high genetic similarity among six A. tsao-ko populations. These microsatellite markers developed will provide a valuable tool for further germplasm characterization, genetic diversity, and breeding studies in A. tsao-ko.

Synergistic Impacts of Alpinia oxyphylla Seed Extract and Allopurinol against Experimental Hyperuricemia

Project description:In traditional medicine, Alpinia oxyphylla Miquel seed has been used to treat gout and hyperuricemia-related symptoms by enhancing kidney functions. Allopurinol is the most commonly used drug to treat hyperuricemia; however, the drug has many adverse effects. Combining allopurinol with another compound could reduce the need for high doses and result in improved safety. We investigated the possible synergistic effects of Alpinia oxyphylla seed extract (AE) and allopurinol in decreasing urate concentrations in rats with potassium oxonate-induced hyperuricemia. This study evaluated the effects of allopurinol combined with AE on levels of serum urate, blood urea nitrogen (BUN), and creatinine in a hyperuricemic rat model. The effects of allopurinol plus AE on xanthine oxidase (XOD) activity and urate uptake were measured. The concomitant administration of allopurinol and AE normalized serum urate and reduced BUN and creatinine. The attenuation of hyperuricemia-induced impaired kidney function was related to downregulation of renal urate transporter 1 and upregulation of renal organic anion transporter 1, with inhibition of serum and hepatic XOD activities. The antihyperuricemic effects of allopurinol were enhanced when combined with AE. These results suggested that the combined use of allopurinol and AE may have clinical efficacy in treating hyperuricemia.

Pharmacological Mechanisms Underlying the Neuroprotective Effects of Alpinia oxyphylla Miq. on Alzheimer's Disease.

Project description:Alpinia oxyphylla Miq. (i.e., A. oxyphylla), a traditional Chinese medicine, can exert neuroprotective effects in ameliorating mild cognitive impairment and improving the pathological hallmarks of Alzheimer's disease (AD). Here, 50 active compounds and 164 putative targets were collected and identified with 251 clinically tested AD-associated target proteins using network pharmacology approaches. Based on the Gene Ontology/Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes pathway enrichments, the compound-target-pathway-disease/protein-protein interaction network constructions, and the network topological analysis, we concluded that A. oxyphylla may have neuroprotective effects by regulating neurotransmitter function, as well as brain plasticity in neuronal networks. Moreover, closely-related AD proteins, including the amyloid-beta precursor protein, the estrogen receptor 1, acetylcholinesterase, and nitric oxide synthase 2, were selected as the bottleneck nodes of network for further verification by molecular docking. Our analytical results demonstrated that terpene, as the main compound of A. oxyphylla extract, exerts neuroprotective effects, providing new insights into the development of a natural therapy for the prevention and treatment of AD.

Development and characterization of 17 microsatellite markers for Sonchus oleraceus.

Project description:Premise:The common sowthistle, Sonchus oleraceus (Asteraceae), is a globally invasive weedy species. In order to investigate its genetic diversity, population genetic structure, and evolutionary history, we developed and characterized nuclear simple sequence repeat markers (SSRs or microsatellites). Methods and Results:Seventeen microsatellite primer pairs were developed based on the Illumina sequence data. Ten developed SSR loci were polymorphic in four populations sampled from broad geographical regions. The number of alleles per locus ranged from one to 11, and the levels of observed and expected heterozygosity ranged from 0.000 to 1.000 and from 0.000 to 0.801, respectively. Up to 82% of the newly developed primer pairs were successfully amplified in the congeneric taxa S. asper, S. asper subsp. glaucescens, S. canariensis, and S. palmensis. Conclusions:The SSR markers developed in this study will be useful for future population genetic studies on S. oleraceus and other congeneric species.
