Оценка генетического разнообразия в популяциях Ditylenchus destructor (Thorne 1945) (Tylenchida: Anguinidae) в Китае

Нематоды Ditylenchus destructor широко распространены в Китае и вызывают значительные потери урожая картофеля. Генетическое разнообразие и изменчивость этого вида исследовали с использованием метода ISSR-маркеров (Inter-Simple Sequence Repeats). Личинки 2-й стадии из 16 популяций исследовали с использованием трех пар праймеров, что позволяло проводить анализ 32 фрагментов ДНК. Уровень генетического разнообразия был довольно высоким. Кластерный анализ и метод основных координат подразделяли изученные популяции на три основные группы. На региональном уровне метод AMOVA показал, что около 91,4% наблюдаемой изменчивости связано с различиями генотипов в пределах популяций, 5,0% вариабельности определяется региональными различиями и остальные 3,6% определяются различиями между популяциями в пределах каждого из регионов. Невысокий уровень генетической изменчивости между популяциями предполагает значительный обмен генами между ними. Амфимиктическое размножение в природных популяциях и пассивный разнос за счет деятельности человека, а также естественные причины, вероятно, определяют наблюдаемую картину. Показано, что ISSR-маркеры представляют собой эффективный метод выявления генетической структуры популяций D. destructor на уровне географически удаленных популяций.

Summary. Ditylenchus destructor is distributed widely in China and causes considerable yield losses of potatoes. Genetic diversity and variation of this species was analysed using Inter-Simple Sequence Repeats (ISSR) markers. Second-stage juveniles from 16 populations were analysed with three primer pairs and 32 fragments were considered for the analysis. Diversity levels within populations were relatively high. Cluster analysis and principle coordinate analysis grouped the majority of the nematode populations into three main clusters. At the regional level, the AMOVA indicated that about 91.4% variations in the data set were from genotypic variations within populations, 5.0% variations due to regional differences, and the remaining 3.6% due to differences among populations within regions. Low levels of genetic variation among populations suggested an extensive gene flow among them. Amphimictic mode in natural populations and passive dispersal of nematodes by anthropogenic activities and natural means would probably be responsible for the results observed. It was shown that the ISSR marker was an efficient method for detecting the genetic structure of D. destructor populations at a macro geographical level.. Key words: Ditylenchus destructor, genetic diversity, genetic variation, ISSR.

The nematode Ditylenchus destructor (Thorne, 1945) is an obligatory endoparasite species, able to grow in over 120 plant species and is the main pathogen affecting production of potato and sweet potato in most regions of China (Thorne, 1945; Yao & Cui, 2001). It belongs to the list of A2 pests regulated as quarantine pests in APPPC (Asia and Pacific Plant Protection Commission), COSAVE (Comite Regional de Sanidad Vegetal Parael Cono Sur) and China (Thorne, 1945; Hooper, 1973; OEPP/EPPO, 1978; Gubina, 1982; Esser, 1985). This species was first recorded in North America and has spread to about 52 countries of America, Europe, Asia, Africa and Oceania (Yao & Cui, 2001). Ditylenchus destructor was first detected in China infecting sweet potatoes in North China in 1937 (Ding & Lin, 1982). It was observed on other crops i.e. potato, pea, peanut (Liu et al. 2006), as well as on medicinal materials of the genera Angelica L. and Mentha L. etc. (Chen & Zhen, 1988; Zhang & Zhang, 2007). Now this nematode species is widely distributed in most sweet potato growing areas of China and causes considerable yield losses.

Despite their importance in ecosystems and for agriculture, the genetic structure of D. destructor populations is poorly known. Data on gene flow and the genetic structure of natural populations are scarce even for pests of the Ditylenchus genus. Ditylenchus destructor exhibits particular variability in many aspects. Populations from different hosts have shown different pathogenicity to the same or several other hosts (Ding & Lin, 1982; De Waele, 1989). The isolates of D. destructor from Hyacinthus orientalis could not infect sweet potato successfully. However, it cannot be classified as a different physiological race as originally was D. dipsacii. Variations in susceptibility of different populations to different types of nematicides have also been detected (Ding, 2007). Insecticide resistance level of Funing, Zuozhou and Lulong populations to aldicarb emulsifiable concentrate was twice to four times than that of the Changli population in Hebei province of China. Furthermore, genetic variability has been demonstrated using the D2D3 region of the ribosomal DNA (rDNA-D2D3); there are more than

10 bases that differ among 22 populations (Yu, 2008). High levels of variation were also detected by analysis of the internal transcribed spacer region of the ribosomal DNA (rDNA-ITS) (Wang et al, 2007; Wan et al, 2008; Zhang & Zhang, 2008). The sequence length of rDNA-ITS region was about 900 bp in A type populations but about 1100 bp in B type. Based on the variation of rDNA-ITS regions, several molecular detection methods were developed to identify two different types of this species (Liu et al, 2007, Wan et al, 2008).

The degree of genetic differentiation among local populations of a species largely depends on the magnitude of gene flow and other processes such as mutation, genetic drift, and locally differing selection pressure occurring independently in each subpopulation (Lax et al, 2007). The use of population genetics to estimate dispersal provides additional information concerning the inbreeding, the genetic structure and the level of gene flow at various scales (Picard et al., 2004). Thorough knowledge of the population structure of plant-parasitic nematodes is essential to develop efficient control strategies (Hyman, 1996). For pest species, measurement of dispersal ability is of crucial importance to formulating control methods to limit the economic losses in agriculture (Lenormand & Raymond, 1998; Carrière et al, 2003). The InterSimple Sequence Repeats (ISSR) PCR technique has been developed to study genetic diversity in natural populations (Zietkiewicz et al, 1994; Metge & Burgermeister, 2006; Lax et al, 2007). This technique is rapid as well as sensitive, and capable of differentiating between closely related individuals. ISSRs take advantage of simple sequence repeats (SSR) or microsatellites, which are abundant in all eukaryotic genomes. Unlike SSR markers, the ISSRs do not require any prior knowledge of the genome sequence (Zietkiewicz et al, 1994). This method is similar to RAPD-PCR and provides similar genomic information. However, ISSR markers may have certain advantages over RAPDs to assess genetic variation within and among population of the same and closely related species (Wolfe & Liston, 1998; Subbotin et al. 1999; Crawford et al, 2001; Amiri et al. 2003; Ou et al, 2008). ISSR primers are longer and have higher annealing temperatures, which results in greater band reproducibility than RAPD markers (Culley & Wolfe, 2001); they also reveal high genetic variability. ISSR markers have great potential for studies of natural populations and have been useful in the study of the population structure of many plant-parasitic nematodes, entomo-pathogenic nematodes and some crops with

resistance to nematodes (Zietkiewicz et al., 1994; Berner & Schnetter, 2002; Metge & Burgermeister, 2006; Lax et al, 2007; Dayteg et al, 2008).

The objective of this work was to analyse the levels of genetic variability in Chinese populations of D. destructor from different geographic regions and to evaluate the degree of genetic difference among them using ISSR molecular markers.

MATERIAL AND METHODS

Nematode populations. Sixteen populations of D. destructor from different geographic regions were considered for this study (Table 1, Fig. 1). In autumn 2007, 10 soil samples of ca 3 kg each were random taken from an infested sweet potato field at each site and mixed together in a plastic case separately (except for the locality of KOSE, where 10 garlic samples were taken from the infested garlic intercepted by Shenzhen Entry-Exit Inspection and Quarantine Bureau of China). Second-stage juveniles (J2) were extracted from 200 g of soil by the Baermann's method. All populations were identified as D. destructor, according to the description of Thorne (1945) and morphologi-cal/morphometrical characterisations of other populations of the species (Thorne 1945; Ding & Lin, 1982). For nematode multiplication under laboratory conditions, 200 J2 of D. destructor were sterilized in 0.05% penicillin and 0.5% chloramphenicol solution for 30 min, and then the populations were cultured for 45 d on a colony of Fusarium semitectum Brek. & Rav. at 25°C in the dark. Then nematodes were transferred to another colony of F. semitectum to maintain populations until DNA extraction was conducted.

DNA Extraction. For each population, genomic DNA was isolated from individual nematode and fifteen individuals were used in total. Each specimen was crushed with a glass pestle inside the tube after it was immersed in liquid nitrogen for 30 s. Then 32 pl Worm Lysis Buffer (WLB, 500 mM KCl, 10 mM Tris-HCl, 15 mM MgCfe, 1.0 mM DTT, 4.5% Tween20) and 8 ^l Proteinase K (20 mg ml-1) were added to each tube. The tubes were incubated at 65°C for 2 h, followed by 10 min at 94°C in a Master cycler 5332 PCR thermal sequencer (Eppendorf). DNA extracted from each nematode was kept at -20°C until use.

ISSR-PCR amplification. Several DNA and primer concentrations used in the reaction mix, number of cycles, annealing temperature and evaluation of multiple 2 ^l aliquots from a single juvenile DNA extraction were tested to optimise PCR reaction conditions and guarantee the repeatability of the amplified products obtained. A

total number of 35 ISSR primers were tested (Zietkiewicz et al., 1994; Tikunov et al., 2003; Bornet & Branchard, 2001); those that produced clear, reproducible and polymorphic bands were selected for the analysis. Each ISSR reaction was carried out in a total volume of 25 ^l containing: 2 ^l of DNA, 2.5 ^l 10xreaction buffer (500 mM KCl, 15 mM MgCl2, 100 mM Tris-Cl, pH 9.0), 2.5 mM MgCl2, 0.2 mM of each dNTP, 15 ng of primer and 1 U of Taq DNA Polymerase (TaKaRa Biosciences, China). PCR reactions were programmed for an initial denaturation at 94°C for 5 min, followed by 38 cycles of 30 s at 94°C, 45 s at 52°C, 1 min at 72°C, and a final extension of 10 min at 72°C. Negative controls were added in all assays to discount contamination. A positive control containing DNA at a concentration of 10 ng ^l"1 of an individual of the plant species Lycopersicon esculentum Miller (Solanaceae) was used in each reaction. Its amplification products were known and gave high repeatability for the ISSR primers selected (Tikunov et al., 2003). This control allowed us to verify the repeatability of the bands obtained and to check that the amplification experiment developed normally.

The PCR products were separated electrophoretically on 2% agrose gels in 1*TAE buffer. DL2000 DNA Ladder (TaKaRa) was used as the molecular weight marker. Gels were stained with ethidium bromide and photographed with Gel Doc XR image analysis system (Bio-Rad).

Data analysis. Fifteen juveniles from each population were used for the analysis. Only bands that were clear and reproducible were included in the study. Amplified bands were scored as 1/0 (presence/absence) of homologous bands for all samples. The resulting presence/ absence data matrix was analyzed using POPGENE version 1.32 (Yeh et al. 1999) to estimate the level of genetic diversity by the percentage of polymorphic bands (PPB), average heterozygosity (H) and Shannon Information Index (I). Isolation by distance was investigated to estimate the correlation between geographical and genetic distance of the populations studied using a Mantel's test and a rank correlation coefficient (Mantel, 1967). In order to investigate the partition of genetic variation within and among populations, ARLEQUIN software (version 1.1) (Schneider et al., 1997) was used to carry out analysis of molecular

variance (AMOVA) with Euclidean distance matrices (9st) from ISSR profiles. Pairwise FST estimates between different populations were also obtained with this program. Unweighted pair group arithmetic average (UPGMA) clustering was performed with the Phylip program, version 3.6, to describe the genetic relationship among the 16 D. destructor populations and dendrograms were created (Felsenstein, 2001; Rohlf, 2002).The robustness of the dendrogram was tested by bootstrapping with 1000 permutations. Results of all bands were also pooled into a principle coordinate analysis (PCO) with the Multi-Variate Statistical Package (MVSP) 3.0 (Kovach Computing Services 2005) in the 16 populations. Thus, the genetic variability of sampled populations was summarised into a few major components (e.g. PCO1, PCO2). The PCO on the data was considered as a check of the clusters formed by the cluster analysis.

RESULTS

Genetic diversity. Primers that could not amplify polymorphic bands in all populations or did not amplify polymorphic bands clearly enough were discarded. Sequences of the single non-anchored

and two anchored primers selected to amplify ISSR in all individuals are shown in Table 2. High polymorphism and genetic variability was observed using the selected primers (Fig. 2). The number of markers scored per primer ranged between 9 and 13. No population-specific bands were detected. At the species level, the average PPB was 87.5%, heterozygosity (H) was 0.2769 and Shannon information index (I) was 0.4242 (Table 1). Within populations, the PPB varied from 68.8% for population HBCL to 81.3% for population HBZZ, and the mean H was 0.2769, ranging from 0.1978 for population HBCL to 0.2735 for population AHTH. The I value showed similar trends, ranging from 0.3042 for HBCL to 0.4123 for AHTH.

Genetic variation. Low levels of genetic variations were observed among D. destructor populations of different regions. FST values comparing pairs of populations ranged between 0.004-0.087, HBCL-NMHH (Fst = 0.087), HBCL-JSTS (FST = 0.082) being the most different and HBFN-HBCL the most similar (FST = 0.004). Results of the cluster analysis among populations, based on their pairwise FST estimates, are shown in Fig. 3. Cluster analysis grouped the majority of the 16 D. destructor populations into three main clusters, which corresponded to their geographic distributions. Cluster I comprises the KORE, SDYS, JSSH and JSTS populations, which belong to the B type as classified by the rDNA-ITS region. Populations of A type classified by the rDNA-ITS region were divided to cluster II and cluster III. Cluster II comprises the JLBC, HBCL and HBFN populations, the remaining populations of the A type of rDNA-ITS region are more diverse and belongs to cluster III. However, the NMHH population

appeared clearly separated from the rest of the Chinese populations. Principal Coordinate Analysis (PCO) of the data set explained 27.9% and 16.8% of the total phenotypic variance along the first and second axes, respectively, implying a similar relationship among populations (Fig. 4). This confirmed the results obtained with the phenogram and the quantification of intra-population diversity. Mantel test showed a low positive correlation (R2 = 0.344, P = 0.009, t = 1.577) between pairwise genetic and geographical distances (Fig. 5).

The Hierarchical AMOVA revealed small genetic divergence among populations from different locations. It further showed that the majority of genetic variation (91.9%) existed within populations, whereas small genetic variation (8.1%) occurred among populations. At the regional level, the AMOVA indicated that about 91.4% of the variations were genotypic variations within populations, 3.6% of the variations were due to regional differences, while the remaining 5.0% were due to differences among populations within re

DISCUSSION

The application of the ISSR technique to detect intra-specific variation in nematodes and the usefulness of this technique in determining population genetic variation of some nematode species has been demonstrated (Berner & Schnetter, 2002; Metge & Burgermeister, 2006; Lax et al., 2007). ISSR markers have been shown to provide useful information for resolving phylogenetic relationships among closely related species and relationships at or below the species level (Mort et al., 2003). The present work is the first study of the genetic structure of D. destructor populations at a macrogeographical level using ISSR markers. At the species level, genetic variation within population of D. destructor is higher than that of Heterodera glycines and Bursaphelenchus xylophilus using

RAPD markers (Zhang et al., 1998; Vieira et al., 2007). However, higher genetic variation was detected within fields for H. schachtii (Plantard & porter, 2004; Madani et al. 2007), Nacobbus aberrans (Lax et al., 2007) and Globodera pallida using different molecular markers.

Genetic similarity index is a reliable index that allows evaluation of genetic variation level among different individuals. In the present study, the Shannon genetic information index (I) was between 0.3042 and 0.4123, meaning that genetic diversity of D. destructor was very high. One of the possible sources of the high level of polymorphism found in D. destructor populations could be related to the mode of reproduction of the nematode. In the study based on the results obtained for four physiological races of D. destructor, Smart & Darling (1963) indicated that amphimixis is the only reproduction mode for this species. Anderson & Darling (1964) hypothesised that D. destructor secrete attractants that probably serve to bring nematodes of opposite sexes together prior to mating. They observed that a single male would mate with the same female if contact was made again and occasionally several males

Fig. 5. Plot of pairwise FST values between populations of Ditylenchus destructor against geographical distance

would attempt to mate with the same female at the same time in the laboratory, which might be an indicator of multiple mating of D. destructor. In the same field, Wan et al. (2008) detected two different types of D. destructor rDNA-ITS region. This may be evidence of multiple mating in natural populations of this species. The multiple mating modes would favour genetic diversity among the offspring of D. destructor. In addition, the relatively high genetic diversity within populations may have resulted largely from multiple introductions of D. destructor from different origins, which might helped this species avoid the founder effect (Da Concei^ao et al., 2003; Plantard et al., 2008).

Ditylenchus destructor exhibits low genetic differentiation among populations and regions despite the great geographic distances (even 1500 km apart between HNLY and JLBC) that separate some of them, suggesting significant gene flow at these spatial scales. Because of their small size, active dispersal is probably limited to a few centimeters or decimeters. The nematodes can move only short distances in the soil and have no natural means of long-range movement. Juveniles from the same egg mass are, respectively, full or half-sibling following fertilisation of the female by one or

several males. Although males are slightly larger than J2, their active dispersal is also likely to be limited. This life cycle and behaviour should thus favour mating between siblings and enhances the production of homozygotes (Plantard & Porte, 2004). Even if the migration is very low, gene flow could occur and thus prevents genetic differentiation among populations. For C. elegans, which is also a soil nematode but a free-living one feeding on bacteria, Koch et al. (2000) suggest long-range dispersal to explain the weak genetic differentiation of this species at the global scale. Moreover, such gene flow could be due to passive transport of nematodes within and among fields by human activities (e.g. transport of soil by farm machinery, sewage farms around sweet tomato factories) or by water (flood, irrigation or drainage) (Plantard & Porte, 2004). In addition, infected root tubers and seedlings are important means of dissemination of this nematode. Third- (J3) and fourth-stage juveniles (J4) and immature females may be found on root tubers and seedlings of sweet potato (Anderson & Darling, 1964; Ding & Lin, 1982). They are sources of inoculum when infected seedlings are planted in sweet potato fields. These dispersal mechanisms would favour the maintenance of high effective

population sizes, which would contribute to increase the genetic diversity of natural populations of this species (Lax et al., 2007).

The AMOVA performed with three variance components revealed that 3.6% of the total variation detected in D. destructor population using ISSR loci corresponded to significant differences among regions defined on the basis of their geographic origin. At the population level, the present results revealed that genetic variability within populations with ISSR loci (91.4%) in D. destructor was higher than that among different populations (5.0%). These results support the fact that there was some degree of genetic similarity among populations from the same region and would confirm the existence of different races or biological entities within the species (Plantard & Porte, 2004; Picard et al., 2004). It has been reported that within particular nematode populations, some characteristics, such as host preference and aggressiveness, might be determined by alleles that vary in their frequencies (Triantaphyllou, 1987). Even the gene frequencies could change with time in response to host-induced selection (Kaplan et al., 1999). This may have important consequences for the evolution of virulence in D. destructor. Indeed, in a classical gene-for-gene relationship with a dominant resistance gene, only homozygous virulent individuals are able to overcome the resistance gene. If a mutation in the virulence-avirulence gene changing the avirulence allele into a virulence allele occurs at a low frequency, mating between siblings will facilitate the association of two virulence alleles in the same individual. Thus, inbreeding induced by such a behaviour should be included in models of virulence evolution in phytoparasitic nematodes (Schouten, 1997; Plantard & Porte, 2004).

In this work, it was possible to define populations of D. destructor populations according to their genetic divergence using ISSR markers. Other molecular methods, such as analysis of the rDNA-ITS and rDNA-D2D3 regions, also showed affinities between populations of the species from the same country of origin (with some exception) (Liu et al. 2007; Wan et al. 2008; Yu, 2008). Sixteen populations of D. destructor were grouped to three main clusters using the ISSR marker, which corresponded to their characteristics from analysis of rDNA-ITS regions. The divergence of D. destructor also agrees with the results previously obtained by analysing the rDNA-D2D3 regions of 22 populations of D. destructor in China (Yu, 2008). These results would confirm the existence of two or three different races or biological entities within the species (Plantard & Porte, 2004; Picard et

al., 2004). However, the NMHH population appeared clearly separated from the other Chinese populations using ISSR markers. This population is located to the north of Yinshan mountains, the altitude of which is about 1500 m. Because of these geographic characteristics, the nematodes of this population are very unlikely to have a genetic exchange with the other populations. Given the clear genetic differentiation between NMHH and the other populations studies, it would be interesting to conduct a similar study to make a genetic comparison between that population and others.

The ISSR markers revealed high genetic diversity from different localities but low level genetic variation among different regions in D. destructor populations of China. It was shown that the ISSR marker was an efficient method for detecting genetic variation among the different geographic populations of this species. Further studies of D. destructor using the molecular markers would contribute to elucidate the taxonomic statues and may assist in developing effective control measures for different biological entities of this species.

Резюме. Нематоды Ditylenchus destructor широко распространены в Китае и вызывают значительные потери урожая картофеля. Генетическое разнообразие и изменчивость этого вида исследовали с использованием метода ISSR-маркеров (Inter-Simple Sequence Repeats). Личинки 2-й стадии из 16 популяций исследовали с использованием трех пар праймеров, что позволяло проводить анализ 32 фрагментов ДНК. Уровень генетического разнообразия был довольно высоким. Кластерный анализ и метод основных координат подразделяли изученные популяции на три основные группы. На региональном уровне метод AMOVA показал, что около 91,4% наблюдаемой изменчивости связано с различиями генотипов в пределах популяций, 5,0% вариабельности определяется региональными различиями и остальные 3,6% определяются различиями между популяциями в пределах каждого из регионов. Невысокий уровень генетической изменчивости между популяциями предполагает значительный обмен генами между ними. Амфимиктическое размножение в природных популяциях и пассивный разнос за счет деятельности человека, а также естественные причины, вероятно, определяют наблюдаемую картину. Показано, что ISSR-маркеры представляют собой эффективный метод выявления генетической структуры популяций D. destructor на уровне географически удаленных популяций.
