title: [Genome constitution of Agropyron elongatum 4x by biochemical and SSR markers].
abstract: We analyzed the electrophoritic patterns of 16 kinds of isozyme and three kinds of storage protein in Agropyron elongatum 2x and Ag. elongatum 4x by isoelectric focusing (IEF) and SDS-PAGE, respectively. The results showed three types of electrophoritic patterns. In the first type, the zymogram phenotypes are identical between Ag. elongatum 2x and Ag. elongatum 4x. Two kinds of isozyme belong to this type, which accounts for 10.5% of all the biochemical markers analyzed. In the second type, Ag. elongatum 4x showed a phenotype which is made up of combinations of the all of Ag. elongatum 2x bands and the specific bands. Ten kinds of isozyme and three kinds of storage protein fall into this class, which is the most part and accounts for 63.2% of all the markers analyzed. In the third type, Ag. elongatum 2x and Ag. elongatum 4x showed some identical bands and their own specific bands. Five kinds of isozyme were classified to this group,which accounts for 26.3% of all the markers analyzed. The results above suggested that Ag. elongatum 4x is a allotetraploid composed of one genome originated from Ag. elongatum 2x and another unknown genome which is apparently distinct from the St, J and N genomes of relative species. Otherwise, SSR primers were used to analyze the relation of Ag. elongatum 2x and Ag. elongatum 4x. The amplification results of most primers showed that Ag. elongatum 2x and Ag. elongatum 4x have some identical bands and Ag. elongatum 4x have some specific bands. This result validated the conclusion from biochemical marker analyses that Ag. elongatum 4x is a allotetraploid.
