摘要:

核核糖体DNA内转录间隔区(nrDNA ITS)被广泛应用于植物系统发育研究中。近年来,发现在很多植物类群中存在ITS假基因(pseudogenes),然而这些假基因在系统发育分析中的潜在价值往往被低估,甚至在部分研究中被忽略。主要介绍假基因的生成、特性以及ITS假基因在植物系统学中的应用,并对ITS假基因的研究前景进行展望。

Abstract:

The internal transcribed spacer(ITS)of nuclear ribosomal DNA has been widely used for re-constructing phylogenies. In recent years, the occurrence of ITS putative pseudogenes is well documented for many groups of plants, the potential utility of these pseudogenes in phylogenetic analyses has often been underestimated or even ignored in part. In this review, we briefly summarize the formation mechanism of pseudogenes, characteristics of ITS pseudogenes and the applications of the ITS pseudogenes on the phylogenetic study. In addition, the future prospect of scientific researches on ITS pseudogenes was viewed.
