The peanut genetic resources are not well characterized for their conservation and potential future use. Increased use of exotic and interspecific derivatives is required to reduce the yield gap, identify new alleles, and introduce them. We assessed the genetic diversity and organization of an 83-germplasm peanut population. Ninety polymorphic markers generated 326 alleles, and the similarity matrix formed three main clusters. Polymorphism information content (PIC) ranged from 0.09 to 0.85, indicating greater genetic diversity in these genotypes. Germplasm from exotic collections had the highest levels of diversity, followed by released cultivars, and interspecific derivatives had the lowest levels of diversity. The number of private alleles in interspecific derivatives, exotic collections, and cultivars was 1, 6, and 3, respectively. Overall, several SSRs showed a high probability of null alleles. In addition, gene diversity and allelic richness were 0.526 and 3.18, respectively. Analysis of molecular variance revealed variation both within and between individuals. Principal coordinate analysis and population structure analysis subdivided all germplasm lines into three populations. Bottleneck analysis revealed that all three populations experienced genetic bottlenecks, as a shifted mode was observed.

Following this, a comprehensive analysis was conducted on <i>SABATH</i> genes of <i>Prunus persica</i>, <i>Malus domestica</i> “Golden,” <i>Prunus avium</i>, and <i>Prunus dulcis</i>, which included phylogenetic and chromosome duplication analysis, gene structure examination, and functional domain and conserved motif analysis.

Still, maize production is hampered by the Philippine downy mildew (DM) disease caused by the pathogen <i>Peronosclerospora philippinensis</i> (Weston) Shaw, causing annual losses in maize production. The use of resistant varieties remains the most effective method of control together with integrated pest and disease management strategies. To date, there are no commercially available maize breeding lines or hybrids deployed in the country while the effectiveness of the fungicide metalaxyl versus DM has declined. Hence, it is necessary to initiate pre-breeding and breeding programs to understand the mechanism of resistance of maize against DM. To comprehend the underlying mechanisms of the presence of the disease, we performed an RNA-Seq comparative transcriptomic approach between mock-inoculated and DM-inoculated susceptible and resistant yellow maize. Among the identified differentially expressed genes (DEGs), we detected 43 DEGs shared in both genotypes which may play roles in the basal defense response of maize upon DM infection. We also identified 68 DEGs exclusive to the susceptible genotype, providing insights into the molecular responses underlying successful DM disease progression in maize. Further, we detected 651 DEGs unique to the resistant genotype. This set of genes revealed that multi-faceted defense strategies govern the molecular basis of DM resistance in maize. These include multi-process regulations such as transcription factors involved in pathogen defense mechanisms, cell wall organization, homeostasis, and many others.

Anhui Province is situated in the central region of China and is an area very suitable for the cultivation of pears. A variety of local pear accessions were cultivated in Anhui Province and were named “Anhui pear”, mainly contained “Dangshan pear” and “Huizhou snow pear”. However, little is known about the genetic relationships and population structure of Anhui pears. Here, we analysed the genetic diversity and population structure of 81 pear germplasm resources (48 from Anhui Province) using 242,447 genome-wide single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) by genotyping-by-sequencing (GBS). In our phylogenetic tree, Anhui pears were mainly clustered together with <i>P. pyrifolia</i> and <i>P. bretschneideri</i>, indicating that Anhui pears are closely relationship-related to the sand pear (<i>P. pyrifolia</i>) and the white pear (<i>P. bretschneideri</i>). The combined result of principal component analysis and population structure analysis was sufficient to support the phylogenetic tree. In addition, Dangshan pears and <i>P. bretschneideri</i> were clustered together, and they had almost no genetic differentiation; however, there was rich genetic exchange between them, indicating that Dangshan pears may belong to the same evolutionary branch as white pears. However, Huizhou snow pears did not cluster together with Dangshan pears and clustered into a separate subclass, suggesting that gene flow between the southern and northern regions of Anhui Province was restricted by geographic isolation. These findings may provide important information for broadening the genetic selection of breeding sources, and further utilizing marker-assisted selection to choose new pear varieties that are suitable for Anhui Province.</p>","PeriodicalId":20215,"journal":{"name":"Plant Molecular Biology Reporter","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2024-07-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141769563","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
