RESUMO

The objective of this work was to investigate the existence of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in genomic fragments homologous to resistance genes in sugarcane. For this purpose, primers were designed based on the sequence of the extremities of an identified expressed sequence tag (ESTs) similar to the Xa1 gene of rice (EST SCCCCL3080E03.g) and another to the maize Rp1-D gene (EST SCCCCL3080B03.g). These primers were used to amplify genomic fragments of sugarcane varieties in duplicate. The fragments were then cloned and sequenced. In the case of first EST, sequences of 119 inserts from a resistant variety (SP804966) and 156 from a susceptible variety (SP80180) to Xanthomonas albilineans were analyzed. In the case of the second EST, sequences of 167 inserts from a third variety (R570) and 135 of a fourth one (SP811763), resistant and susceptible respectively to Puccinia melanocephala, were analyzed. Sequences were compared using the program DNA Sequencher 3.0 (Gene Codes Corporation, Ann Arbor, MI). In this analysis, only reproducible sequences were considered, that is, sequences that occurred in both replicates. Four to six different sequences were identified within varieties whereas comparisons among varieties revealed the existence of up to two sequences in common. These reproducible sequences, which were further confirmed through digestion of representative clones with appropriate restriction enzymes, could correspond to allelic sequences. Primers were designed based on the SNPs detected among these so-called alleles. However, attempts to amplify specific alleles using these primers were unsuccessful. This could be due to the polyallelic condition of sugarcane in which polymorphisms between two alleles could be compensated by monomorphisms between these and other alleles. Thus the use of SNPs as PCR-based molecular markers is not as straightforward in sugarcane as in diploid species.
