Abstract

Mariner-like element sequences were recovered from the genome of the orange wheat midge, Sitodiplosis mosellana (Géhin), with degenerate PCR primers designed to conserved regions of mariner transposases. The deduced amino acid sequences of the mariner-like transposases from S. mosellana showed 67% to 78% identity with the peptide sequences of other mariner transposases. A phylogenetic analysis revealed that the mariner-like elements from S. mosellana grouped in the mauritiana subfamily of mariner transposons. Results from Southern blot analysis suggest mariner-like elements are at a moderate copy number in the genome of S. mosellana.

Résumé

Nous avons récupéré des séquences apparentées à l'élément mariner dans le génome de la cécidomyie du blé, Sitodiplosis mosellana (Géhin), à l'aide d'amorces PCR dégénérées élaborées pour les régions conservées des transposases mariner. Les séquences d'acides aminés déduites chez les transposases de type mariner de S. mosellana sont semblables à 67 % – 78 % aux séquences peptiques des autres transposases mariner. Une analyse phylogénétique montre que les éléments de type mariner chez S. mosellana se regroupent dans la sous-famille mauritiana des éléments mariner. Une analyse de buvardage de Southern indique que les éléments de type mariner se retrouvent en un nombre moyen de copies dans le génome de S. mosellana.
