Objective This study was carried out in order to analyze genetic diversity in plants of Dendrobium Sw. and compare the marker index (MI) between SRAP and RAPD markers. Methods Using 40 SRAP primer combinations and 36 RAPD primers,the genetic diversity of the materials in Dendrobium Sw. was amplified. Results A total of 1 977 loci were generated by 40 SRAP primer combinations,of which 90.2% was polymorphic and the genetic similarity (GS) ranged from 0.330 2 to 0.789 2. As for RAPD,281 bands were obtained,in which 87.1% was polymorphic,and the GS was from 0.494 2 to 0.773 1. There were some differences existing in the two cluster results revealed by SRAP and RAPD markers,they were as follows:compared to that of RAPD,the result of SRAP could more comfortably reflect the kinship and geographical origin,simultaneously conform to the traditional classification. For the experiment materials,SRAP (16.46) got an MI value 4.5 folds higher than that of RAPD (3.67),which meant SRAP markers were more effective in detecting genomic polymorphisms in the plants of Dendrobium Sw. Conclusion These results show that SRAP and RAPD could be applied to detecting genetic diversity analysis of plants in Dendrobium Sw. SRAP Also shows great superiority and advantage in this study.

In recent years, the targeted protein degradation technology has developed quickly, with proteolysis-targeting chimera (PROTAC) as the best-known strategy through exploring the ubiquitin-proteasome system. A number of new targeted protein degradation strategies have been emerging to expand the scope of protein degradation technology, including lysosome-targeting chimeras (LYTACs), autophagy-targeting chimeras (AUTACs), autophagosome-tethering compounds (ATTECs) and chimeras based on chaperone-mediated autophagy (CMA). The emerging methodologies have explored another important protein degradation system in eukaryotes-lysosomal systems, such as the endosome-lysosome pathway and the autophagy-lysosome pathway. This review summaries the mechanisms and features of different strategies for targeted protein degradation, with a special emphasis on the new targeted protein degradation technologies, such as their current status, advantages and limitations.
