Induction of meiotic gynogenesis in bagrid catfish (Pseudobagrus ussuriensis) with homologous sperm and its confirmation for female homogamety

The bagrid catfish, Pseudobagrus ussuriensis, exhibits significant sexual dimorphism in growth rate and body size with males growing faster than females. Therefore, an all‐male culture can dramatically increase the output and profitability of fishery products. According to the monosex breeding route, super‐male individuals’ acquirement by XY male sex reversal and artificial gynogenesis is the key step. An effective protocol to induce meiotic gynogenesis using homologous sperms has been developed in this study. The most effective UV irradiation for sperm genetic inactivation was found to be at a distance of 20 cm with 66 μW/cm² light intensity for 25 min. Optimal treatment for cold shock was 5 min post‐fertilization at 0‐4°C for 30 min, which gave the best survival rate of 13.65 ± 2.87%. The sex ratio in the meiotic gynogens showed a significant female‐biased deviation (p < .05); thirty meiogynogens and their parents were further analysed using a male‐specific AFLP marker, of which only the male parent produced a male‐specific DNA band of 412 bp. These results indicated the female homogametic XX/XY sex determination system in P. ussuriensis. The optimization of a protocol for the successful induction of meiogynogenesis in the bagrid catfish lays the basis for all‐male production and is useful in ascertaining the genetic sex determination system in this promising aquaculture species.     

3种染色体组加倍方法诱导黄河鲇雌核发育的比较

用经紫外线照射后遗传失活的黄河鲇精子、刺激性成熟的黄河鲇卵子, 进行雌核发育, 采用冷休克、热休克和秋水仙素浸泡等3种染色体组加倍方法诱导黄河鲇卵进行二倍体雌核发育。实验结果表明: 在人工诱导黄河鲇二倍体雌核发育过程中, 以冷休克处理组的效果最好, 胚胎孵化率达到8. 1%; 其次为秋水仙素处理组, 胚胎孵化率达到6. 3%; 热休克处理组诱导效果较差, 胚胎孵化率仅为4. 0%。     

Spontaneous mosaicism occurred in normally fertilized and gynogenetically induced progeny of the kokanee salmon Oncorhynchus nerka

ABSTRACT:   In normally fertilized progeny of the kokanee salmon Oncorhynchus nerka , DNA content flow cytometry revealed that all the externally normal embryos were diploid, whereas abnormal embryos exhibited haplo-diploid, diplo-tetraploid and haplo-diplo-tetraploid mosaicisms, together with a few haploid and diploid individuals. When gynogenetic development was artificially induced by fertilization of eggs obtained from a female of the same kokanee brood stock with UV-irradiated sperm, haplo-diploid mosaics appeared most frequently. These mosaics were likely to happen by certain cytological events, such as meiotic or mitotic errors during the process of maturation, fertilization or early cleavage.     

AgNO3对甜瓜离体胚囊发育的影响

许多作物的花药、小孢子培养技术被广泛的应用到实际育种工作中。与花药培养相比,离体培养子房或胚珠诱导单倍体植株具有独特的优势,在某些作物上诱导率和绿苗率较高。早在80年代,水稻、大麦、玉米、青稞和马铃薯等都已建立了未受精胚珠单倍体离体培养技术,而对于葫芦科植物至今尚未找到一条高效的单倍体诱导方法。1999年,FICCADENTI进行甜瓜未授粉胚珠离体培养,得到了单倍体植株。2003年,LOTFI采用FICCADENTI的培养方法,对不同甜瓜品种进行诱导,结果只得到了3棵再生植株,在未进行倍性鉴定之前死亡。至今,国内甜瓜离体雌核发育诱导单倍体研究尚未报道。     

人工诱导海水鱼类雌核发育的研究进展

近三十年来,国内外海水鱼类的增养殖业发展迅速,尤其以提高增养殖鱼类产量和质量为主要目的的染色体组工程已成为海水鱼类育种的热点.作为一种实用的染色体组操作技术,雌核发育是在雌核控制下的发育,精子只作为"激活源",入卵后不形成雄核,所以后代的遗传特质仅仅来源于母性亲本.     

两个人工雌核发育系鲢近交F1遗传多样性的RAPD分析

采用RAPD技术对两个人工雌核发育系鲢近交F1遗传距离、遗传相似度及群体遗传多样性进行分析，用普通鲢和鲤作对照。结果表明：GSCⅠ、Ⅱ系近交F1系内个体间平均遗传相似度分别为0．9722、0．9807，高于对照鲢和鲤的0．9546、0．8727；两系近交F1的遗传多样性指数分别为0．0629、0．0529，低于对照鲢和鲤的0．1018和0．2132，表明GSCⅠ、Ⅱ系系内近交的F1保持了较高的纯度。LIPGMA和NJ系统树清晰反映了两个系近交F1与对照组个体问的相互关系。26个随机引物的RAPD扩增结果显示，5个引物OPG04、OPG17、OPP01、OPM11、OPM16可以扩增出区分两个系近交F1的特异标志带。     

诱导栉孔扇贝雌核发育时精子入卵的扫描电镜观察

取栉孔扇贝 (Chlamysfarreri)精子在 80 0 μW/(cm2 ·s)的紫外线下辐射 ,然后与正常卵子受精 ,每隔 0 .5min取“受精卵”固定。在扫描电镜下连续观察精子的入卵过程 ,然后与正常精子的入卵过程进行比较。结果表明 ,紫外辐射后的精子可以划分为 3种类型 :I类精子 ,基本无明显变化 ,可以激发卵黄膜举起形成受精膜 ,同时诱发卵子发生皮层反应 ,在受精锥的作用下正常入卵 ,但入卵的时间较正常精子晚 ;II类精子 ,顶体膜破裂 ,顶体丝伸出 ;III类精子 ,顶体丝伸出 ,鞭毛脱落。由于II、III类精子在紫外辐射条件下诱发了顶体反应 ,融解卵膜的酶提前释放 ,因而不能入卵。精子鞭毛的脱落 ,使精子丧失了运动能力 ,是导致卵表面附着的精子数量较少的原因之一。无论是正常精子还是辐射后的精子 ,入卵后在卵表面都留下一个类似受精孔的通道。实验组中未发现有多精入卵现象     

栉孔扇贝人工雌核发育的细胞学观察

运用荧光显微镜观察了栉孔扇贝正常卵子与雌核发育卵子在受精和成熟分裂过程中的核相变化。结果表明,尽管紫外线照射没有影响受精卵的成熟分裂以及雌性、雄性原核的形成,但使雌核卵的发育速度出现明显的滞缓。在第1次卵裂中期,雌核发育卵子中的雄性原核没有像雌性原核那样形成染色体,而是浓缩为一染色质小体(DCB),游离在细胞质中,不参与核分裂。胞质分裂结束时,DCB位于2个卵裂球之一的细胞质内或在赤道板处被分割成两部分。实验结果首次提供了栉孔扇贝雌核发育的细胞学证据。     

Genetic identification of a newly synthetic allopolyploid strain with 206 chromosomes in polyploid gibel carp

A newly synthetic allopolyploid strain (SAS) was selected and established from gynogenetic offspring of gibel carp clone A⁺ with 156 chromosomes induced by common carp sperm with 50 chromosomes. In this study, the allopolyploid strain was detected to contain 206 chromosomes, and the growth trait was evaluated to have 25.15% growth faster than that of clone A⁺. Genetic marker analyses of transferrin (Tf) alleles, ITS1 sequences and mtDNA D‐loop sequences indicated that the allopolyploid strain was synthetized from maternal gibel carp clone A⁺ and paternal common carp, and the synthetic chromosome sets were further confirmed by genomic in situ hybridization (GISH) and chromosome localization of 45S rDNA. Significantly, the synthetic allopolyploid strain has tended to be stable by five successive generations of gynogenesis, because it still keeps unisexual reproduction mode of gynogenesis. Therefore, it will become a novel variety for gibel carp aquaculture in future.
