RFLP analysis of mitochondrial DNA in two cytoplasmic male sterility systems (CMS-D2 and CMS-D8) of cotton

Cytoplasmic male sterility (CMS) in higher plants is a maternally inherited trait and CMS-associated genes are known to be located in the mitochondrial genome. However, CMS-inducing genes in CMS-D2 and CMS-D8 of Upland cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L., AD1) are currently unknown. The objective of this study was to identify potential candidate DNA or gene sequences for CMS-D2 and CMS-D8 through restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) analysis. Seven mtDNA gene probes and five restriction enzymes were first used to compare D2 (from G. harknessii Brandegee) and AD1 cytoplasms. With cox1, cox2, and atp1 as probes, RFLP polymorphisms were detected with one or more restriction enzyme digestions. The most notable difference was an additional fragment in the normal AD1 cytoplasm detected by cox2 in digests of three enzymes, and by cox1 and atp1 in digests with PstI. The RFLP analysis was then conducted among CMS-D2, CMS-D8 (from G. trilobum (DC.) Skovst.), and AD1 cytoplasms. Two probes from maize, atp1 and atp6, detected polymorphism among the different cytoplasmic lines. However, no difference in RFLP patterns was noted between male sterile (A) and restorer (R) lines with the D2 or D8 cytoplasm, indicating that the presence of the D2 or D8 restorer gene does not affect mtDNA organization in Upland cotton. The results demonstrate that RFLP using atp1 and atp6 as probes can distinguish the three cytoplasms. The atp1 and atp6 in CMS-D8 and these two genes together with cox1 and cox2 in CMS-D2 could be the candidates of CMS-associated genes in the mitochondrial genome, providing information for further molecular studies and developing PCR-based markers for the CMS cytoplasms in breeding. This research represents the first work using RFLP to analyze the genetic basis of CMS in cotton.     

Development of two new molecular markers specific to cytoplasmic male sterility in tuber mustard (<Emphasis Type="Italic">Brassica juncea</Emphasis> var. <Emphasis Type="Italic">tumida</Emphasis> Tsen et Lee)

A novel and stable cytoplasmic male sterility CMS line of tuber mustard has been bred by subsequent backcrosses for 10 years. Two specific markers atpA and orf220 were cloned and partially characterized in our previous study (Zhang et al. 2003). In this study, two new molecular markers, orf256 and orf305/orf324, have been isolated and identified. The orf256 gene size was found to be 825 bp in CMS line and a 1,357 bp in its maintainer line. Sequence analysis indicated that the orf256 gene was an entire coding sequence and downstream of the cox1 gene. Interestingly, the 906 bp fragment, which contains part of the sequence of orf222, nad5 and orf139 genes, was found to be inserted from the 451st bp of 5′-flank of the 1,357 bp fragment. In the same way, the orf324 gene was isolated from CMS line and orf305 gene from its maintainer line. Both of them are entire coding sequences, upstream from nad3 and rps12 gene, and co-transcribed with the nad3 and rps12 genes. In addition, two molecular markers, orf256 and orf324/orf305, have been successfully converted into the SCAR markers. Subsequently, ORF256, ORF324, ORF305 protein and ORF256-M-431 fragment are predicated to contain signal peptide sequences, and ORF220 was predicated to contain signal anchor sequence. RFLP analysis results revealed that all of the molecular markers exhibited polymorphisms. Northern blot analysis indicated that the expression level of these genes in CMS line is higher than that of the maintainer line. In the mass, all of these genes are expressed lower in the leaf than that of floral organs between the CMS line and its maintainer line. The difference in expression pattern of different mitochondrial specific marker genes suggests that the abundance of mitochondrial proteins is differentially regulated in the organ/tissue development in tuber mustard. Results of this study also provide some novel and useful clues to explore the biological function of these specific marker genes in the tuber mustard.

PCR-based markers to differentiate the mitochondrial genomes of petaloid and male fertile carrot (Daucus carota L.)

Cytoplasmic male sterility (CMS) is essential for the development of highly adapted and uniform hybrid varieties of carrot and other crops. The most widely used type of CMS in carrot is petaloidy, in which the stamens are replaced by petals or bract-like structures. We have developed a series of mitochondria-specific PCR markers to distinguish cytoplasms inducing petaloidy (Sp) and male-fertility (N). The markers target the atp1,atp6, atp9, orfB (atp8), nad6 and cob loci from the mitochondrial genomes of a diverse collection of male fertile and petaloid carrots. We report 14 primer pairs that amplify marker fragments from either Sp or N cytoplasms and three primer pairs that amplify fragments with length polymorphism. The amplification products span sites of insertions, deletions or recombinations adjacent to or within the coding regions of the targeted genes. The markers reported here are useful tools to identify the type of cytoplasm in cultivated carrot and to evaluate variation in the mitochondrial genomes within the genus Daucus.

Induction of cytoplasmic male sterility in the seed progeny derived from artificially-synthesized interspecific chimera in Brassica

We produced artificial interspecific chimeras by in vitro grafting, and obtained cytoplasmic male sterile (CMS) variants in the seed progenies derived from backcrossing the chimera with one of the mother plants, B. campestris cv. Komatsuna. The induced CMS has been stably inherited by crossing it with `Komatsuna', not with `Ruby Ball' cabbage. The nuclear component of CMS is complete `Komatsuna' type in morphology, chromosome number (2n = 20) and Southern blot using ribosomal 17S RNA gene as a probe. PCR analysis by using mitochondrial atpA primer showed the complete `Ruby Ball' type, suggesting nuclear-cytoplasmic exchange. However, Southern blot patterns were different among those of the CMS and both parents by using atpA. Recombination or some unknown change is supposed in the mitochondrial genome via the processes of synthesis and propagation of the chimeras.     

Germplasm evaluation and transfer of Verticillium wilt resistance from Pima (<Emphasis Type="Italic">Gossypium barbadense</Emphasis>) to Upland cotton (<Emphasis Type="Italic">G. hirsutum</Emphasis>)

Verticillium wilt (VW, Verticillium dahliae) is a worldwide destructive soil-borne fungal disease and employment of VW resistant cultivars is the most economic and efficient method in sustainable cotton production. However, information concerning VW resistance in current commercial cotton cultivars and transfer of VW resistance from Pima (Gossypium barbadense) to Upland (Gossypium hirsutum) cotton is lacking. The objective of the current study was to report findings in evaluating commercial cotton cultivars and germplasm lines for VW resistance in field and greenhouse (GH) experiments conducted in 2003, 2006, and 2007. In the study, 267 cultivars and germplasm lines were screened in the GH, while 357 genotypes were screened in the field. The results indicated that (1) VW significantly reduced cotton yield, lint percentage, 50% span length and micronaire, but not 2.5% span length and fiber strength, when healthy and diseased plants in 23 cultivars were compared; (2) some commercial cotton cultivars developed by major cotton seed companies in the US displayed good VW resistance; (3) many Acala cotton cultivars released in the past also had good VW resistance, but not all Acala cotton germplasm are resistant; (4) Pima cotton possessed higher levels of VW resistance than Upland cotton, but the performance was reversed when the root system was wounded after inoculation; (5) VW resistance in some conventional cultivars was transferred into their transgenic version through backcrossing; and (6) some advanced backcross inbred lines developed from a cross between Upland and Pima cotton showed good VW resistance. The successful development of VW resistant transgenic cultivars and transfer of VW resistance from Pima to Upland cotton implies that VW resistance is associated with a few genes if not a major one.

Promoter anchored amplified polymorphism based on random amplified polymorphic DNA (PAAP-RAPD) in cotton

Non-coding sequences account for a majority of the higher plant genome, some of which have important effects in gene regulation and plant development. In an effort to develop molecular marker systems to search for polymorphisms associated with high fiber yield and quality in cotton, we have developed a methodology that could specifically target the regulatory regions of the cotton genome. In this study we designed 10-nucleotide degenerate promoter primers based on conserved core promoter sequences and tested their applicability in PCR amplifications in combination with 10-mer random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) primers. The amplified markers are called promoter anchored amplified polymorphism based on RAPD (PAAP-RAPD). Forty cotton genotypes with diverse genetic and geographical backgrounds were used to test the PAAP-RAPD system using polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. Based on PAAP-RAPD markers amplified from 12 primer combinations, the 40 genotypes were classified into five distinctive groups: two Upland cotton (Gossypium hirsutum) groups from China, another two Upland cotton groups from the USA, and one group from American Pima cotton (G. barbadense). The groupings are in general consistent with their genetic and geographical origins. Thirty-six PAAP-RAPD and RAPD fragments were cloned and four of them were further subjected to sequence analysis. Signal scanning using software PLACE confirmed that they contained an array of cis-regulatory sequences in addition to the core promoter sequences. The results demonstrate the potential application of PAAP-RAPD as a new marker system specifically targeting regulatory regions of the plant genome.

为了获得3种大白菜细胞质雄性不育系Ogu CMS,Pol CMS,CMS96和保持系间的多态性以及定位大白菜CMS96不育系所属的不育类型,利用设计的atp6,orf222单一和混合引物PCR扩增3组11份同核异质大白菜细胞质雄性不育系和保持系mtDNA。结果表明,atp6引物在大白菜Ogu CMS不育系扩增的200 bp片段为其特异带;orf222引物仅在大白菜Pol CMS和CMS96不育系有扩增产物,但二者有3点完全不同:大白菜Pol CMS不育系扩增产物为675bp,CMS96不育系扩增产物为669 bp,二者相差6个核苷酸,后者定名为大白菜CMS96-orf222。大白菜CMS96-orf222与甘蓝型油菜Nap CMS的nad5c基因和Nap-orf222基因同源性均为99%,E值为0.0;大白菜Pol CMS的675 bp序列具有ORF224开放阅读框,没有保守结构域,而大白菜CMS96的669 bp序列具有ORF222开放阅读框和保守结构域YMF19。另外,atp6和orf222混合引物多重PCR扩增产物存在明显多态性:800 bp为大白菜保持系的差异带型;2 300 bp和1 500 bp为大白菜Pol CMS不育系特异带型;200 bp为大白菜Ogu CMS不育系特异带型;690 bp为大白菜CMS96不育系特异带型。该方法仅用一次PCR反应快速地将3种大白菜细胞质雄性不育系和保持系一次性全部区分开,为大白菜分子育种和常规育种更好地相结合提供了简单、快速、准确和重复性好的方法和手段。     

Genetic effects of nine <Emphasis Type="Italic">Gossypium barbadense</Emphasis> L. chromosome substitution lines in top crosses with five elite Upland cotton <Emphasis Type="Italic">G. hirsutum</Emphasis> L. cultivars

Crosses between Gossypium barbadense L and Gossypium hirsutum L. (Upland cotton) have produced limited success in introgressing fiber quality genes into the latter. Chromosome substitution lines (CSBL) have complete chromosomes or chromosome arms from G. barbadense, line 3-79, substituted for the corresponding chromosome or arms in G. hirsutum in a near isogenic background of TM-1. We top crossed nine CSBL and their parents (TM-1 and 3-79) with five cultivars. Parental lines and their F₂ populations were evaluated in four environments for agronomic and fiber quality traits. The CSBL and their F₂ hybrids showed wide ranges for both agronomic and fiber traits of economic importance. Genetic analysis showed that additive variances were larger than dominance variances for lint percentage, boll weight, lint yield, fiber length, strength, elongation, micronaire, and yellowness; whereas, dominance variances were larger than additive variances only for uniformity of fiber length and equal for fiber reflectance. For all traits, except boll weight and lint yield, significant additive effects of one or more chromosomes from 3-79 in TM-1 background were greater than the corresponding TM-1 chromosome. In addition, we identified specific chromosomes from G. barbadense (3-79) that carry alleles for improvements in specific fiber quality traits in Upland cotton. Favorable additive effects of individual chromosomes or chromosome segments from 3-79 relative to corresponding chromosomes or chromosomes segments from TM-1 were identified in this study as follows: Lint percentage, chromosome/arms 10, 16-15; longer fibers, chromosome/arms 01, 11sh, 26Lo; more uniform fibers, chromosomes/arms 01, 11sh, 10, 17-11; stronger fibers, chromosome/arms 01, 11sh, 12sh, 26Lo, 17-11; fiber elongation, chromosomes/arms 01, 11sh, 26Lo, 10, 17-11; reduced fiber micronaire, chromosome/arms 01, 12sh, 4-15, 16-15, 17-11; fibers with more reflectance, chromosome/arms 10, 4-15, 16-15, 17-11; fiber with less yellowness, chromosome arms 4-15, 17-11. Based on the present study, we concluded that by using CSBL, favorable fiber quality alleles can be introgressed into Upland cotton, thus greatly improving the breeder’s ability for improvement of Upland cotton for a variety of traits. These data should provide useful genetic information to the cotton breeding industry at large.     

Genotypic comparisons of chromosomes 01, 04, and 18 from three tetraploid species of <Emphasis Type="Italic">Gossypium</Emphasis> in topcrosses with five elite cultivars of <Emphasis Type="Italic">G. hirsutum</Emphasis> L.

Upland cotton, Gossypium hirsutum L. is the most widely planted cultivated cotton in the United States and the world. The other cultivated tetraploid species G. barbadense L. is planted on considerable less area; however, it produces extra long, strong, and fine fibers which spins into superior yarn. The wild cotton tetraploid species G. tomentosum Nuttall ex Seemann, native to the Hawaiian Archipelago also exhibits traits, such as drought tolerance, that would also be desirable to transfer to Upland cotton. Long-term breeding efforts using whole genome crosses between Upland and these species have not been successful in transferring very many desirable alleles into Upland cotton. Our chromosome substitution lines (CSL) have one chromosome or chromosome arm from an alien species backcrossed into the Upland cotton line,TM-1, via aneuploid technology. Five Upland cultivars were crossed with CS-B01, CS-T01, CS-B04, CS-T04, CS-B18 and CS-T18 and TM-1 the recurrent parent of the CSLs. This provided an opportunity to determine the effects of chromosomes 01, 04, and 18 from the three species in crosses with the five cultivars. Predicted genotypic mean effects of the parents, F₂, and F₃ generations for eight agronomic and fiber traits of importance were compared. The predicted hybrid mean effects for the three chromosomes from each species were different for several of the traits across cultivars. There was no single chromosome or species that was superior for all traits in crosses. Parental and hybrid lines often differed in the effect of a particular chromosome among the three species. The predicted genotypic mean effects for F₂ and F₃, with a few exceptions, generally agree with our previous results for additive and dominance genetic effects of these CSL.     

An improved cytoplasmic male sterile (Diplotaxis berthautii) Brassica juncea: identification of restorer and molecular characterization

We report the development of an improved cytoplasmic male sterile (CMS) system of Brassica juncea carrying cytoplasm of the wild species Diplotaxis berthautii. Flowers of the CMS line are smaller than the euplasmic line but have improved nectaries. Anthers are slender and fail to extend to the level of stigma. Female fertility of the CMS line is comparable to the euplasmic line. Fertility restorers of Moricandia arvensis and D. catholica-based alloplasmic CMS systems of B. juncea were found capable of restoring male fertility to this new CMS line. The fertility restoration is monogenic and gametophytic. Southern analysis showed that the cytoplasm of the CMS line is different from euplasmic B. juncea and other CMS systems restored by the same restorer lines. Northern analysis of the CMS, fertility restored and euplasmic lines using eight mitochondrial gene probes revealed altered atpA expression associated with male sterility. Cleaved amplified polymorphic sequence (CAPS) markers were identified for the plastid gene psbB, which could be useful for a quick identification of this CMS line. S.R. Bhat and P. Kumar contributed equally to this work.     

Multiple changes in tobacco mitochondrial DNA populations during tissue culture

Changes in the composition of mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) in tobacco during the processes of long-term tissue culture and regeneration were detected by DNA gel blot analyses using several mtDNA fragments as probes. The changes in mtDNA were identified by differential accumulations of mtDNA fragments in cultured cells that were hybridized with probes atp6, cob, and nad3-rpsl2. The changes detected by each probe did not appear to be linked, since they were different with each probe and in different subcultures of calli. Based on the current results and previous detailed analyses of the changes detected by atp6, a possible model that explains the alterations in mtDNA during tissue culture is presented. In this model, the changes are attributed to multiple shifts in the equilibrium that was maintained between different subgenomic mtDNA molecules.     

A unique introgression from Moricandia arvensis confers male fertility upon two different cytoplasmic male-sterile lines of Brassica juncea

A Brassica juncea line carrying an introgression from Moricandia arvensis restored male fertility to two cytoplasmic male‐sterile (CMS) B. juncea lines carrying either M. arvensis or Diplotaxis catholica cytoplasm. Genetics of fertility restoration was studied in the F₁, F₂, F₃ and backcross generations of the cross between CMS and fertility‐restorer lines. No male‐sterile plants were found in F1‐F₃ generations of the cross between CMS [M. arvensis] B. juncea and the restorer. However, a 1: 1 segregation for male sterility and fertility was observed when the F1 was pollinated with non‐restorer pollen from a euplasmic line. These results clearly show that restoration is mono‐genic and gametophytic. In CMS lines carrying D. catholica cytoplasm, the restorer conferred male fertility to the F1 and showed 3: 1 and 1: 1 segregations for male fertility and sterility in F₂ and BC1 generations, respectively, indicating a monogenic, sporophytic mode of fertility restoration. The results were also supported by pollen stainability in the F1 which was about 65% in M. arvensis‐based CMS and >90% in D. catholica‐based CMS. The above results are discussed in the light of previous molecular studies which showed association between CMS and atpA in both systems.     

Obtaining an Ogura-type CMS line from asymmetrical protoplast fusion between cabbage (fertile) and radish (fertile)

Cytoplasmic male sterile (CMS) plants were obtained by asymmetrical protoplast fusion between red cabbage (fertile) and normal radish (fertile). The CMS plants showed restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) patterns of mitochondrial (mt) DNA that were different from those of both parental lines. PCR analysis of mtDNA of the CMS plants and though Southern blot analysis showed that the mtDNA of the CMS line had the characteristics of the ogura CMS type. The results suggested that the orf138 gene and the ogura type atp6 gene are present in normal fertile cabbage and radish at a low copy level.

Haplotype analysis of CMS-associated DNA markers in sweet peppers

Cytoplasmic male sterility (CMS)/restorer-of-fertility (Rf) is an economical and efficient system to produce F₁ hybrid seeds. Although the CMS/Rf system has been used to produce hybrid seeds of hot peppers, this system has never been used for sweet pepper seed production, presumably due to the inability to select stable restorer lines during the breeding process. To test the feasibility of the CMS/Rf system in sweet pepper breeding, we investigated the distribution of haplotypes of previously developed, CMS-associated markers (orf456, ψ atp6-2, CRF-SCAR, OPP13-CAPS, PR-CAPS, and PR-SNP) in 27 commercial sweet pepper F₁ hybrids and 12 breeding lines. When CMS-associated cytoplasmic markers orf456 and ψ atp6-2 were applied, male sterile cytoplasm was not detected in commercial sweet pepper cultivars. When nuclear haplotype markers linked to Rf were applied, all sweet pepper cultivars showed haplotype 3, haplotype 1, and the rf genotype for OPP13-CAPS, PR-CAPS, and CRF-SCAR, respectively. In contrast, we were able to detect male sterile cytoplasm in some breeding lines, and we were also able to detect polymorphisms for PR-CAPS between stable and unstable maintainer lines. The 17T7-SNP also showed polymorphisms between unstable and stable maintainer (or restorer) lines. In conclusion, we expect that it will be possible to develop stable A, B, and C sweet pepper lines using CMS-associated markers and that this will eventually lead to successful implementation of the CMS/Rf system to produce F₁ hybrid sweet pepper seeds.     

Effects of the dominant glandless gene Gl2e on agronomic and fibre characters of Upland cotton

Seven pairs of near‐isogenic lines (glandless vs. glanded) and the recurrent parents were used to determine the effects of the dominant glandless gene from ‘Hai 1’(Gossypium barbadense) on agronomic, fibre, and seed characters in Upland cotton, Gossypium hirsutum, backgrounds. The results showed that there were no apparent linkage associations of the glandless gene on most agronomic, fibre and seed characters of Upland cotton, except for seed quality. The glandless line derived from ‘Liaomian 7’had significantly more protein (489.6 g/kg), and that from H237 had significantly more oil (362.4 g/kg) and had the largest oil index (2.70 g) and protein index (3.03 g). The gossypol content of seed in dominant glandless lines in Upland cotton was very low (<0.04 g/kg). Therefore, it is suggested that the glandless gene can play an important role in breeding glandless or low seed‐gossypol Upland cotton cultivars.
