[email protected] ABSTRACT PCR amplification and direct sequencing of regions of the cytochrome b mitochondrial genes was carried out on Iranian populations of the salmo trutta fario species. Samples of salmo trutta fario were also examined and used as an out group in the phylogenetic analysis. Results based on 1192 bp indicated differentiation between fario morphs from Iran and other salmonids also Iran and other country had collected. Despite the large phenotypic differences within salmonids, very low genetic variation was found. On the basis of the cytochrome b sequences studied, Salmo carpio and Salmo fibreni, which have been described as good species, there were high homology between salmo trutta fario , salmo trutta and salmo trutta caspius (99%), but regards salmo salar the rate of homology 93%. Regards salmo trutta fario, in hatchery trout has not red colour strips time of hatchery in salmo trutta fario whereas has a bluish grey body colour, However, they are larger than Atlantic salmon, salmo trutta caspius and salmo trutta, more regular in shape, and less intensively pigmented, moreover there are red spots are always observed in populations, however, the shape and size of salmo trutta fario is different with salmo trutta caspius and salmo trutta but the among of homology were high (99%). The salmo trutta fario and salmo trutta caspius are living in the Rivers of North of Iran that connected to Caspian Sea; perhaps these species with themselves has been conjugated, and regards salmo salar is living in the Atlantic Ocean and other Sea and Rivers connected to it, that so far to salmo trutta fario populations in Iran. However we cannot report exactly that how much homology between sequences, because already there are not complete sequence in GeneBank regards salmo trutta caspius and salmo trutta fario. Keywords: Salmo trutta fario, DNA sequencing, cytochrome b. INTRODUCTION methods including RFLP-PCR There are different methods for techniques, SSCP-PCR techniques also identifying and authenticating for fish sequencing of DNA fragments (Carrera and fishery product, specially, DNA et al., 2000; Abercrombie et al., 2005; methods and molecular testing for Lee et al., 2004), approaches have been increasing products. (Gill, et al., 1997; successfully implemented to identify Rasmussen et al., 2008). In related to, partially degraded and otherwise there are wide range of approached of compromised products (Dalvin et al., varying technical sophistication and cost 2010). In general, mitochondrial DNA which exploit diagnostic polymorphism transmitted maternal traits, mtDNA within mitochondrial DNA and nuclear targeted methods have predominated in DNA genomics. Different molecular such studies, because of the general 66 Abolhasan Rezaei and Sheyda Akhshabi robustness and higher cellular copy were approximately 1 kg in size. Species number of mtDNA compared with used in this study salmo trutta fario.DNA nDNA.(Mackie et al., 1999).In this paper extracted from muscles samples was used we used PCR and direct sequencing to obtain sequence from the salmo trutta techniques to compare and analyzing fario. segments of cytochrome b DNA Cytochrome b gene. cytochrome b gene sequence variation in the salmo trutta sequences were amplified from salmo fario and observed among trutta fario. DNA was extracted from morphologically distinct salmo trutta tissue muscles according to the method fario, salmo trutt, salmo trutta caspius of Sambrook et al., (1998). The and salmo salar populations. Regards to concentration of DNA samples was cytochrome b, Bernatchez et al., (1992), determined with a DNA studied on the variation of it gene, also, spectrophotometer under wave length of they studied segments of the A260/280 nanometer.The PCR and mitochondrial control region, with this sequencing primers used based on results, we can discussed the congruence consensus sequences of salmonid in phylogenetic relationships among species. PCR amplifications were carried salmo trutta fario populations inferred out in 25 µl volumes containing 1X PCR from the analysis of coding and buffer, 6 ng/pL template DNA, 0.025 noncoding regions of the segments of units/pL Taq polymerase (Bethesda cytochrome b gene. Regarding genetic Research Laboratories), 200 uM each variations salmonids, were studied brown deoxynucleotide-triphosphate (dNTPs), trout that was found substantial genetic and approximately 25 pmol/µl of each differentiation, as revealed by protein amplification primer. Amplifications variation is found between native were carried out primarily in a Perkin Mediterranean and Atlantic populations Elmer 9600 thermal cycler. PCR (Kerieg & Guyomard 1985; Guyomard amplifications were performed with 35 1989; Persa et al.1994). Also, Largiader cycles. Denaturation, annealing and et al., (1996), had reported there are extension times were varied according to common phenotype of the fluviatile the thermal cycler used and the size of ecotype of brown trout, salmo trutta f. the expected amplification product. fario. According to local fisherman, the Primers (cytochrome b Forward and striped trout represent the native form in Reverse), designed to specifically the Doubs, whereas the fario phenotype amplify the cytochrome b gene, originates from introductions of hatchery including: Forward Primer 5' trout.

However, salmo trutta fario. approximately, the complete sequence of Polymerase chain reaction (PCR; the cytochrome b gene (1191 nt) was Saiki et al., 1988) amplification was found to be identical between salmo performed on 200-500 ng of genornic trutta fario in Iran. Also observed among DNA template with either Ultratherm of variation between salmonids, (BioiCan Scientific) or Taq (Bethesda including, salmo trutta caspius , salmo Research Laboratories-BRL) DNA trutta and Salmo salar. Polymerase using the reagents and Variation in exon sequences of the instructions provided by the cytochrome b gene: The DNA sequence manufacturer. Typically, the thermal of cytochrome b gene from salmo trutta profile of a PCR consisted of 2-4 min. fario individuals was determined. To incubation at 94" C, followed by 30 avoid confusion about geographic origin, cycles of 30 s at 94°c, 30 s at 55°c, 60 s only wild strains from known sampling at 72°c, followed by a 4 min. incubation locations were analyzed. Comparison of at 72°c. PCR amplification products were variation within species revealed that the prepared for sequencing by purification higher degree of homozygosity with with DNA Clean-Up kits (Promega). salmonid group. Although no fixed Where necessary, multiple amplification differences were observed between salmo products were separated by trutta fario and salmo salar, because the electrophoresis in low-melting-point degree of variation more than other agarose using standard methods salmonids likes salmo trutta and salmo (Sambrook et al.1989). trutta caspius. However results are Amplification products were shown there were almost variation sequenced directly using either the between salmo salar, salmo trutta caspis Thenosequenase sequencing kits and salmo trutta. The sequence of the (Amersham United States Biochemicals). same region of the cytochrome b gene Sequencing, electrophoresis and was also obtained from salmo trutta autoradiography were performed fario, salmo trutta and salmo trutta according to the manufacturer's caspius similar variation was detected instructions. within this gene: the (T to C, C to A, T to Accessed in the GeneBank: G and A to G), repeat sequences in the The cytochrome b gene was full length of the sequences.
