Abstract Morinda (Rubiaceae) is considerably recognized for its multiple uses viz. food, medicine, dyes, firewood, tools, oil, bio-sorbent etc. The molecular characterization of such an important plant would be very useful for its multifarious enhanced utilization. In the present study, 31 Morinda genotypes belonging to two different species Morinda citrifolia and Morinda tomentosa collected from different regions of India were investigated using Inter Simple Sequence Repeat (ISSR) markers. Fifteen ISSR primers generated 176 bands with an average of 11.7 bands per primer, of which (90.34%) were polymorphic. The percentage of polymorphic bands, mean Nei’s gene diversity, mean Shannon’s information index in Morinda tomentosa and Morinda citrifolia was [(69.89%, 30.68%); (0.21 ± 0.19, 0.12 ± 0.20); (0.32 ± 0.27 0.17 ± 0.28)] respectively, revealing higher polymorphism and genetic diversity in Morinda tomentosa compared to Morinda citrifolia. Structure, and UPGMA cluster analysis placed the genotypes into well-defined separate clusters belonging to two species Morinda tomentosa and Morinda citrifolia revealing the utility of ISSR markers in species differentiation. Distinct ecotypes within a particular species could also be inferred emphasizing the collection and conservation of Morinda genotypes from different regions, in order to capture the overall diversity of respective species. Further higher diversity of M. tomentosa must be advanced for its utilization in nutraceutical, nutritional and other nonfood purposes.

Abstract Background: Clostridioides difficile is the main cause of healthcare-associated diarrhea worldwide. It is proposed that certain C. difficile toxinotypes with distinct pathogenicity locus (PaLoc) variants are associated with disease severity and outcomes. Additionally, few studies have described the common C. difficile toxinotypes, and also little is known about the tcdC variants in Iranian isolates. We characterized the toxinotypes and the tcdC genotypes from a collection of Iranian clinical C. difficile tcdA+B+ isolates with known ribotypes (RTs).Methods: Fifty C. difficile isolates with known RTs and carrying the tcdA and tcdB toxin genes were analyzed. Toxinotyping was carried out based on a PCR-RFLP analysis of a 19.6 kb region encompassing the PaLoc. Genetic diversity of the tcdC gene was determined by the sequencing of the gene.Results: Of the 50 C. difficile isolates investigated, five distinct toxinotypes were recognized. Toxinotypes 0 (33/50, 66%) and V (11/50, 22%) were the most frequently found. C. difficile isolates of the toxinotype 0 mostly belonged to RT 001 (12/33, 36.4%), whereas toxinotype V consisted of RT 126 (9/11, 81.8%). The tcdC sequencing showed six variants (35/50, 70%); tcdC-sc3 (24%), tcdC-A (22%), tcdC-sc9 (18%), tcdC-B (2%), tcdC-sc14 (2%), and tcdC-sc15 (2%). The remaining isolates were wild-types (15/50, 30%) in the tcdC gene.Conclusions: The present study demonstrates that the majority of clinical tcdA+B+ isolates of C. difficile frequently harbor tcdC genetic variants. We also found that the RT 001/ toxinotype 0 and the RT 126/ toxinotype V are the most common types among Iranian isolates. Further studies are needed to investigate the putative association of various tcdC genotypes with CDI severity and its recurrence.

Rational Distribution

Due to the natural destructiveness and persistence of the southern corn leaf blight (SCLB) fungus Bipolaris maydis (Nisikado et Miyake) Shoem, the characterization of B. maydis field isolates is essential to guide the rational distribution of resistant materials in corn-growing regions. In the present study, 102 field isolates collected from seven locations covering the entire region of Fujian Province, China, were assessed for mating type distribution, genetic diversity, and pathogenicity toward local sweet corn cultivars. Mating type detection via polymerase chain reaction indicated that 36.3 and 63.7% of isolates were MAT1-1 and MAT1-2, respectively; more than 80% of these isolates were confirmed using cross assays with known mating type isolates. Thirteen intersimple sequence repeat (ISSR) markers within and among two mating type populations revealed a high level of DNA polymorphism for all combined isolates and between MAT1-1 and MAT1-2 populations. The MAT1-2 population was more diverse based on DNA polymorphism than the MAT1-1 population. The value of GST was 0.0070, ranging from 0.0399 to 0.3044 based on analysis of combined isolates and individual regional populations, respectively, suggesting the presence of genetic differentiation in the two mating type populations from different locations. Pathogenicity assays revealed that both MAT1-1 and MAT1-2 populations were pathogenic to all 11 local sweet corn cultivars tested in this study. The potential of sexual reproduction, existence of genetic diversity in the two mating type populations, and pathogenicity suggest that B. maydis populations have independently clonally adapted under natural field conditions during corn cultivation.
