AFLP is a combination restriction fragment/PCR molecular marker technique which detects polymorphisms due to changes at or in the vicinity of restriction enzyme sites. The technique detects multiple polymorphic loci throughout the genome and may be used for fingerprinting and mapping purposes. The main advantages of the method are the consistency and reliability of the technique due to stringent PCR conditions and the ability to rapidly detect many polymorphic loci.

Restriction Fragment Length

Restriction fragment length polymorphisms from PCR amplified ribosomal DNAs of three Trichogramma species, T. minutum, T. brassicae, and T. near sibiricum, were studied. Length variation in the internal transcribed spacer (ITS) region was observed. The ITS region of T. brassicae is about 1350 base pairs (bp) in length and those of T. minutum and T. near sibiricum are 1300 bp. These three species also differ in the size of their ITS1 and ITS2 regions. Restriction enzyme digestions of these regions showed unique banding patterns for each species. The amplified 18S region of ribosomal DNA is about 1800 bp in length and showed no length variation between the three species of Trichogramma. Restriction enzyme digestion of this region by BamHI differentiated T. brassicae from the other two species. Restriction site maps of the ITS and 18S regions were constructed for each species. The amplified 28S region is about 1700 bp for these three species. Restriction of this region by RsaI and SacII differentiates these three species. The reported results indicate that these species of Trichogramma can be clearly differentiated from one another by nuclear ribosomal DNA markers.Key words: rDNA, Trichogramma, PCR.

Amplified Fragment Length Polymorphisms

An efficient technique for cloning DNA from silver-stained denaturing Polyacrylamide gels was developed to allow the isolation of specific bands obtained from selective restriction fragment amplification (SRFA). This method proved as reliable as cloning radioactively labelled SRFA bands from the same gels. Rice DNA was used as a template, both with and without [32P]dCTP, using the same PCR profiles. Amplified products were separated using denaturing polyacryamide gel electrophoresis and visualized either by silver staining of gels or by autoradiography of 32P-labelled products. We cloned specific polymorphic SRFA bands directly from the denaturing polyacrylamide gels with one round of PCR amplification and confirmed that the sequences of the bands from silver-stained gels were identical to the corresponding 32P-labelled bands. The bands that were chosen represented amplified fragment length polymorphisms (AFLPs) between japonica and indica rice varieties. We studied the ability of two cloned AFLP bands to serve as heritable genetic markers by mapping them as RFLPs in an interspecific rice population and found that they represented single-copy DNA at unique loci in the rice genome. Key words : amplified fragment length polymorphism, AFLP, selective restriction fragment amplification, SRFA, PCR cloning, silver staining.

SummaryWe present data for the initial construction of a molecular linkage map for the domesticated silkworm, Bombyx mori, based on 52 progeny from an F2 cross from a pair mating of inbred strains p50 and C108, using restriction fragment length polymorphisms (RFLPs). The map contains 15 characterized single copy sequences, 36 anonymous sequences derived from a follicular cDNA library, and 10 loci corresponding to a low copy number retrotransposon, mag. The 15 linkage groups and 8 ungrouped loci account for 23 of the 28 chromosomes and span a total recombination length of 413 cM; 10 linkage groups were correlated with established classic genetic maps. Scoring data from Southern blots were analysed using two Pascal programs written specifically to analyse linkage data in Lepidoptera, where females are the heterogametic sex and have achiasmatic meiosis (no crossing-over). These first examine evidence for linkage by calculating the maximum lod score under the hypothesis that the two loci are linked over the likelihood under the hypothesis that the two loci assort independently, and then determine multilocus linkage maps for groups of putatively syntenic loci by calculating the maximum likelihood estimate of the recombination fractions and the log likelihood using the EM algorithm for a specified order of loci along the chromosome. In addition, the possibility of spurious linkage was exhaustively tested by searching for genotypes forbidden by the absence of crossing-over in one sex.
