| Abstract: | The diversity and maternal lineage in wild and cultivated soybeans have previously been assayed using restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) and sequencing analyses of chloroplast DNA (cpDNA). Here we describe a method based on PCR-RFLP for the identification of nucleotides at four mutation sites in non-coding regions of cpDNA. Of the four sites, two were located in restriction enzyme sites and two were not. For the latter two sites, new primers were designed to artificially create restriction sites that spanned them. The PCR-RFLP method enabled us to identify nucleotides at each of the four mutation sites easily and reliably. Fifty-seven wild and sixty-seven cultivated soybeans of different origins and different cpDNA types (types I, II, and III) were assayed. All of the samples tested could be classified into four haplotypes. All of the type-I and -II accessions had the same nucleotides at each of the four mutation sites, while all of the type-III accessions, except for 3 wild ones, had nucleotides that were different from those of types I and II. A sequencing analysis revealed that the 3 wild accessions possessed other singlebase variations in the non-coding regions of trnH-psbA and trnT-trnL. The results of this study suggest that the type-I and type-II chloroplast genomes form a group that is distinct from the type-III chloroplast genome. |
