Assessment of genetic diversity and genetic structure of wild rice populations in Myanmar.

ABSTRACT: To evaluate genetic diversity and genetic structure of wild rice (Oryza rufipogon) populations in Myanmar, seven research sites were selected based on various ecological conditions. A large number of samples under natural growth conditions were collected and studied using six simple sequence repeats (SSRs) and two chloroplast DNA markers. A total of 77 alleles were detected from 1559 samples over six SSR loci. The mean number of alleles per population ranged from 3.167 to 8.667, and the mean expected heterozygosity ranged from 0.140 to 0.701. Wild rice populations survived under various environmental conditions and retained different levels of genetic diversity. The large number of samples was effective to confirm the spatial genetic structure of wild rice populations in a relatively small area. Regarding chloroplast DNA polymorphisms, four populations possessed only one pattern, while the other three showed two or five combinations of haplotypes, even within the same population. Additionally, the existence of a new genotype was revealed. Considerable variations in chloroplast DNA exist in the wild rice populations of Myanmar. A high proportion of genetic variation was detected within, rather than among, populations. To ensure maintenance of allelic diversity, it is advisable to preserve many individuals from a large population.

Project description:BackgroundThe genetic diversity of malaria parasites reflects the complexity and size of the parasite populations. This study was designed to explore the genetic diversity of Plasmodium falciparum populations collected from two southeastern areas (Shwekyin and Myawaddy bordering Thailand) and one western area (Kyauktaw bordering Bangladesh) of Myanmar.MethodsA total of 267 blood samples collected from patients with acute P. falciparum infections during 2009 and 2010 were used for genotyping at the merozoite surface protein 1 (Msp1), Msp2 and glutamate-rich protein (Glurp) loci.ResultsOne hundred and eighty four samples were successfully genotyped at three genes. The allelic distributions of the three genes were all significantly different among three areas. MAD20 and 3D7 were the most prevalent alleles in three areas for Msp1 and Msp2, respectively. The Glurp allele with a bin size of 700-750 bp was the most prevalent both in Shwekyin and Myawaddy, whereas two alleles with bin sizes of 800-850 bp and 900-1000 bp were the most prevalent in the western site Kyauktaw. Overall, 73.91% of samples contained multiclonal infections, resulting in a mean multiplicity of infection (MOI) of 1.94. Interestingly, the MOI level presented a rising trend with the order of Myawaddy, Kyauktaw and Shwekyin, which also paralleled with the increasing frequencies of Msp1 RO33 and Msp2 FC27 200-250 bp alleles. Msp1 and Msp2 genes displayed higher levels of diversity and higher MOI rates than Glurp. PCR revealed four samples (two from Shwekyin and two from Myawaddy) with mixed infections of P. falciparum and P. vivax.ConclusionsThis study genotyped parasite clinical samples from two southeast regions and one western state of Myanmar at the Msp1, Msp2 and Glurp loci, which revealed high levels of genetic diversity and mixed-strain infections of P. falciparum populations at these sites. The results indicated that malaria transmission intensity in these regions remained high and more strengthened control efforts are needed. The genotypic data provided baseline information for monitoring the impacts of malaria elimination efforts in the region.

Project description:The main aim of this study is to assess the potentiality of SSR markers for the identification of the cross-species transferability frequency in a large set of the diverse genome types of wild relative rice along with cultivated rice. Here, we used 18 different rice genotypes representing nine different genome types with 70 SSR markers to investigate the potentiality of cross-species transferability rate. The overall cross-species transferability of SSR markers across the 18 rice genotypes ranged from 38.9% (RM280 and RM447) to 100% (RM490, RM318, RM279, RM18877 and RM20033, RM19303) with an average of 76.58%. Also, cross-species transferability across chromosome ranged from 54.4% (chromosome 4) to 86.5% (chromosome 2) with an average of 74.35%. The polymorphism information content of the markers varied from 0.198 (RM263) to 0.868 (RM510) with a mean of 0.549?±?0.153, showing high discriminatory power. The highest rate of cross-transferability was observed in O. rufipogon (97%), The highest rate of cross-species transferability was in O. rufipogon (97.00%), followed by O. glaberrima (94.20%), O. nivara (92.80%), Swarna (92.80%), O. longistaminata (91.40%), O. eichingeri (90%), O. barthii (88.50%), O. alta (82.80%), O. australiensis (77.10%), O. grandiglumis (74.20%), O. officinalis (74.20%), Zizania latifolia (70.00%), O. latifolia (68.50%), O. brachyantha (62.80%), Leersia perrieri (57.10%) and O. ridleyi (41.40%) with least in O. coarctata (28.50%). A total of 341 alleles from 70 loci were detected with the number of alleles per locus ranged from 2 to 12. Based on dendrogram analysis, the AA genome groups was separated as distinct group from the rest of the genome types. Similarly, principal coordinate analysis and structure analysis clearly separated the AA genome type from the rest of the genome types. Through the analysis of molecular variance, more variance (51%) was observed among the individual, whereas less (14%) was observed among the population. Thus, our findings may offer a valuable resource for studying the genetic diversity and relationship to facilitate the understanding of the complex mechanism of the origin and evolutionary processes of different Oryza species and wild relative rice.
