为分离辣椒细胞质雄性不育基因,并阐明其不育机理,本研究以辣椒细胞质雄性不育系21A及保持系21B的线粒体DNA为材料进行SRAP分析。结果显示,在21A中获得3条多态性条带。对多态性条带回收、克隆和测序分析后发现,这3个片断(分别命名为CMS721、CMS394、CMS285)在GenBank中都与能量代谢途径有关。针对序列特征设计SCAR引物,对21A和21B的基因组DNA进行扩增验证,3对引物只在21A中扩增出目的条带,表明已成功地将SRAP标记转化为SCAR标记。利用荧光定量PCR技术对CMS721、CMS394和CMS285基因在21A不同组织(根、茎、叶和花)中的表达情况进行了分析。结果表明:3个基因只在不育系中表达,且在不同的组织中均有表达,但表达量差异很大,其中基因CMS721表达量在中花蕾中迅速下降,推测该基因控制辣椒花药中与能量代谢相关的蛋白质的表达,从而引起小孢子发育障碍,最终导致雄性不育。
In order to isolate cytoplasmic mal sterility related genes and clarify the mechanism in pepper, sequence-related amplified polymorphism (SRAP) was used to analyze mitochondrial DNA of cytoplasmic male sterility line 21A and its maintainer line 21B of pepper. Three polymorphism fragments detected in 21A were named CMS721、CMS394 and CMS285 in GenBank were related to energy metabolism. According to the sequences, three specific primers designed amplified tar-get DNA in the 21A line, indicative of transformation of SRAP marker to SCAR marker. Expression level of the genes ( CMS721、CMS394 and CMS285 ) in different tissues ( root, leaf, stem and flower) analyzed by quantitative real-time poly-merase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) revealed that the three genes were only expressed in tissues of 21A. The expression lev-el of CMS721 gene decreased rapidly in the middle flower bud stage, suggesting that CMS721 might regulate the expression of energy metabolism related protein in anther, ca
