Retención larvaria en abulón azul Haliotis fulgens mediante análisis de parentesco en B.C.S., México

ADRIANA MAX AGUILAR (2014, [Tesis de maestría])

El abulón azul (Haliotis fulgens) es un molusco gasterópodo de importancia comercial en México. Es un recurso de alto valor comercial (70 M en 2011) debido a su gran demanda a nivel internacional; su pesquería constituye una de las actividades más importantes que se desarrollan en la costa occidental de la península de Baja California. Esta pesquería ha sufrido de manera histórica una disminución significativa, por lo que es necesario reforzar y continuar los programas de investigación y manejo actual para garantizar la recuperación de los bancos abuloneros. Un aspecto crucial en el manejo y administración de las pesquerías, es el claro entendimiento del concepto de unidad de stock, el cual requiere un mejor conocimiento del reclutamiento en función de la dinámica larvaria y la conectividad entre bancos (dados por los niveles de retención y dispersión), lo que ampliaría la precisión de las estrategias de manejo actuales. En el caso del abulón se han propuesto dos modelos de conectividad: (1) Las larvas son transportadas a grandes distancias de sus padres y llegan a sustentar otros bancos; y (2) el intercambio larvario entre bancos es limitado y cada banco es un pequeño stock que es autosustentable. En cualquier caso, es necesario determinar si en un banco lo que ocurre preponderantemente es el auto-reclutamiento, o si por el contrario, las larvas provienen principalmente de otros sitios. El objetivo del presente trabajo fue estimar el índice de retención larvaria del abulón azul Haliotis fulgens en dos sitios de la costa occidental de Baja California Sur, mediante el uso de marcadores genéticos tipo microsatélite en análisis de parentesco. Se estandarizaron y caracterizaron nuevos loci microsatélites específicos para H. fulgens con los cuales se determinó el índice de retención larvaria a través de la asignación genética de juveniles a progenitores que se encontraran en el mismo sitio de muestreo mediante análisis de paternidad con el programa CERVUS 3.0. Se obtuvieron 24 loci microsatélites potenciales para utilizarlos en análisis genéticos, de los cuales se caracterizaron 12 loci polimórficos. Se determinó que 11 de ellos son factibles de utilizar en análisis de parentesco por su alto polimorfismo (Número de alelos: de 5-17; HE de 0.69-0.92; PIC de 0.64-0.90) y presentar Equilibrio de Hardy-Weinberg [...]

The green abalone (Haliotis fulgens) is a marine gastropod mollusk in Mexico with a high commercial value (70 M in 2011) because of its high demand in the international market. Its fishery is an important commercial activity in the west coast of Baja California Sur, and has historically suffered a significant decline in its captures. Thus it is necessary to continue research and current management programs to ensure the recovery of abalone in reef systems. A crucial consideration in management and administration of this fishery is a clear understanding of the concept of a stock unit, which requires a better understanding of recruitment on defined spatial scales, depending on the larval dynamics and connectivity among reefs (given by the levels of retention and dispersal). This knowledge will extend the accuracy of current management strategies. Two different models on connectivity have been proposed for abalone: (1) the larvae can be transported for long distances from their parent’s reef and supply other distant reefs; and (2) larval exchange between reefs is limited, and each one is a small self-replenishing bank. In any case, it is necessary to determine whether a reef is mainly maintained by self-recruitment, or if larvae come mainly from other sites. The objective of this work was estimate the proportion of green abalone Haliotis fulgens larval retention in two sites on the western coast of Baja California Sur, using microsatellite markers in paternity analysis. New microsatellite markers in H. fulgens were standardized and characterized. The larval retention was estimated by the proportion of juveniles genetically assigned to the possible parents in the same site by paternity analysis using CERVUS 3.0. Twenty-four microsatellite loci potentially useful in genetic analysis were obtained, from which 12 polymorphic loci were characterized. From these, 11 were useful in paternity analysis due to their high polymorphism (number of alleles: 5-17; HE: 0.69-0.92; PIC: 0.64-0.90) and because they were in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium [...]

"Potato microtuber (MT) development through in vitro techniques are ideal propagules for producing high quality potato plants. MT formation is influenced by several factors, i.e., photoperiod, sucrose, hormones, and osmotic stress. We have previously developed a protocol of MT induction in medium with sucrose (8% w/v), gelrite (6g/L), and 2iP as cytokinin under darkness. To understand the molecular mechanisms involved, we performed a transcriptome-wide analysis. Here we show that 1715 up- and 1624 down-regulated genes were involved in this biological process. Through the protein–protein interaction (PPI) network analyses performed in the STRING database (v11.5), we found 299 genes tightly associated in 14 clusters. Two major clusters of up-regulated proteins fundamental for life growth and development were found: 29 ribosomal proteins (RPs) interacting with 6 PEBP family members and 117 cell cycle (CC) proteins. The PPI network of up-regulated transcription factors (TFs) revealed that at least six TFs–MYB43, TSF, bZIP27, bZIP43, HAT4 and WOX9–may be involved during MTs development. The PPI network of down-regulated genes revealed a cluster of 83 proteins involved in light and photosynthesis, 110 in response to hormone, 74 in hormone mediate signaling pathway and 22 related to aging."

Resilience of growing in arid and semiarid regions and a high capacity of accumulating sugar-rich biomass with low lignin percentages have placed Agave species as an emerging bioen-ergy crop. Although transcriptome sequencing of fiber-producing agave species has been explored, molecular bases that control wall cell biogenesis and metabolism in agave species are still poorly understood. Here, through RNAseq data mining, we reconstructed the cellulose biosynthesis pathway and the phenylpropanoid route producing lignin monomers in A. tequilana, and evaluated their expression patterns in silico and experimentally. Most of the orthologs retrieved showed differential expression levels when they were analyzed in different tissues with contrasting cellulose and lignin accumulation. Phylogenetic and structural motif analyses of putative CESA and CAD proteins allowed to identify those potentially involved with secondary cell wall formation. RT-qPCR assays revealed enhanced expression levels of AtqCAD5 and AtqCESA7 in parenchyma cells associated with extraxylary fibers, suggesting a mechanism of formation of sclerenchyma fibers in Agave similar to that reported for xylem cells in model eudicots. Overall, our results provide a framework for un-derstanding molecular bases underlying cell wall biogenesis in Agave species studying mechanisms involving in leaf fiber development in monocots. © 2022 by the authors.

"En México la pesquería de abulón amarillo (Haliotis corrugata) se ha visto fuertemente afectada por la sobrepesca y factores ambientales. En este contexto, la repoblación de los bancos silvestres mediante liberación de larvas o juveniles producidos en laboratorio se ha vislumbrado como una alternativa para incrementar la producción. Cualquier programa de repoblamiento debe considerar una estrategia de manejo genético que evite la pérdida de diversidad genética y que permita dar seguimiento del pedigrí de los individuos producidos en laboratorio y liberados posteriormente en los bancos naturales. Uno de los requisitos de los marcadores moleculares tipo microsatélites empleados para la asignación de parentesco en análisis de pedigrí es su conformación al modelo de herencia mendeliana. En el presente estudio se analizaron larvas veliger de H. corrugata de tres familias no emparentadas (cada una de hermanos completos) con 11 loci microsatélites para evaluar si sus clases genotípicas se ajustaban a las proporciones esperadas bajo herencia mendeliana. Las proporciones genotípicas de ocho loci (Hco15, Hco19, Hco22, Hco47-2, Hco47-3, Hco194, Hka3 y Hka56) se ajustaron a las proporciones mendelianas esperadas, dos loci (Hco47-1 y Hco97) mostraron desviaciones significativas (P<0,05) y en un locus (Hco16) no se pudo comprobar segregación mendeliana. Para análisis de parentesco futuros en esta especie se recomienda el uso de un grupo de al menos seis loci en el cual deben incluirse Hco19, Hco22, Hco47-2 y Hka3 debido a sus moderados a altos polimorfismos."

"In Mexico, the pink abalone (Haliotis corrugata) fishery has been strongly affected by overfishing and environmental factors. In this context, reseeding of natural beds through the release of hatchery produced larvae or juveniles, has been envisioned as an alternative to increase production. Any reseeding program should take in account a genetic management strategy, which avoids the loss of genetic diversity and enables to follow the pedigree of hatchery produced individuals being released in the natural beds. One of the requisites of microsatellites as molecular markers for parentage assignment is their agreement to Mendelian inheritance model. In the present study, Haliotis corrugata veliger larvae from three unrelated families (of fullsibs each), were analyzed with 11 microsatellite loci, to assess if their genotypic classes were in agreement to expected ratios under Mendelian inheritance. The genotypic ratios of eight loci (Hco15, Hco19, Hco22, Hco47-2, Hco47-3, Hco194, Hka3, and Hka56) were in agreement with Mendelian expected ratios, two loci (Hco47-1 and Hco97) showed significant deviations (P<0.05), and in one locus (Hco16) Mendelian segregation could not be demonstrated. From the results we suggest the use a group of at least 6 loci in subsequent parentage analyses in which loci Hco19, Hco22, Hco47-2 and Hka3 should be included because their moderate to high polymorphisms."

APLICACIÓN DE METAHEURÍSTICAS EN EL PROBLEMA DE ACOMODO DE PATRONES DE CORTE EN MATERIALES FINITOS

Anabel Rodríguez Rodríguez (2023, [Tesis de doctorado])

"En la presente investigación se resuelve el problema de optimización de acomodo de patrones de corte en materiales finitos mediante el uso de estrategias metaheurísticas con la finalidad de aprovechar el material de acomodo y minimizar el desperdicio. Específicamente se implementó un algoritmo genético que al inicio genera soluciones aleatorias que forman la población inicial. La misma está compuesta por individuos o soluciones que son una combinación de patrones que se acomodan dentro del material de manera que se obtenga el menor desperdicio. Durante el proceso evolutivo estas soluciones aleatorias se someten a los operadores genéticos: selección, cruce y mutación, para encontrar nuevas soluciones que hereden la información genética de sus antecesores y evolucionen o mejoren en cada generación para obtener el menor desperdicio posible."
