同源四倍体水稻紫血稻（4）在受精前后的特异性研究

采用子房整体染色法和石蜡切片技术对同源四倍体水稻紫血稻（４）在受精前后的特异性进行了研究。观察结果表明，与相应的二倍体水稻紫血稻（４）相比，紫血稻（４）的花粉粒在其柱头上萌发比较慢，花粉管在花柱内伸长比较迟缓，花粉管进入胚囊、精卵结合、精子与极核融合、合子和初生胚乳核发生第一次分裂的时间都比较迟。在紫血稻（４）中存在着比较多的退化型胚囊（５５．０％），反足细胞团的形态结构异常，存在着低频率（２．０     

白萝卜自交不亲和性显微结构观察

利用荧光显微镜及电子显微镜观察经过处理的白萝卜自花授粉花期和蕾期柱头,发现花粉粒在柱头上的萌发及花粉管在柱头表面和花柱中的生长情况有很大差异。白萝卜自交不亲和系06074花期有少量的花粉粒萌发,并在柱头表面发生反应且花粉管的形态不正常,不能穿越乳突细胞壁;而蕾期柱头上,花粉粒几乎都能萌发。另外,老龄植株花的亲和性比幼龄植株花稍高。     

开花期高温胁迫对水稻花粉粒性状及结实率的影响

为探明花期高温胁迫对水稻花器官及结实率的影响。利用人工气候箱在水稻抽穗开花期对特青及其渗入系YIL106进行高温处理,研究结果表明,高温胁迫下热敏感渗入系YIL106的花粉活力、花粉萌发率、柱头上花粉粒数、花药开裂系数和结实率降低幅度均大于耐热品种特青。表明高温胁迫下,水稻的花粉活力、花粉萌发率、柱头上花粉粒数、花药开裂系数、以及结实率都比常温条件下要低,且高温胁迫对热敏感品系的花粉粒性状及结实率影响更大。     

不同倍性新麦草种子萌发特性的研究

与二倍体新麦草相比,染色体加倍后的四倍体新麦草的种苗生活力强,种子营养成分含量高,对低温、干旱等极端环境的适应能力强.对染色体加倍选育出的四倍体新麦草种子与正常的二倍体种子的萌发指标,幼苗芽长、根长、芽根比,以及种子萌发过程中淀粉酶活性和可溶性糖含量的变化进行了比较研究表明:四倍体新麦草种子在千粒重、发芽率、发芽势、活力指数和发芽指数等方面均显著高于二倍体种子(p＜0.01);染色体加倍能促进幼苗芽和根的生长,但对幼苗芽的促进作用更强;与二倍体新麦草种子相比,四倍体种子萌发过程中淀粉酶的活性更强,糖代谢速度快,更多的可溶性糖能给幼苗生长提供能量.     

同源四倍体和二倍体水稻香味的遗传分析

本研究用1.7%KOH 溶液浸泡叶片法分析了同源四倍体水稻和二倍体水稻的香味遗传。采用的香稻品种:香籽、香芒糯、京香1号和早香17。包含1个香稻品种的各种杂交组合的 F_1植株均无香味。在 F_2代,4个四倍体杂交组合无香味与有香味植株的分离比例符合35∶1,5个二倍体杂交组合的分离比例符合3∶1,而且正反交的分离比例没有差别。     

西洋梨二倍体及其人工诱导同源四倍体遗传差异的SSR分析

以西洋梨‘丰产’二倍体及其10个同源四倍体株系为材料,通过微卫星(SSR)分子标记技术对西洋梨二倍体与同源四倍体之间的遗传差异性进行了研究。应用10对SSR引物对11份材料进行扩增,共扩增出23条谱带,其中有8条呈多态性,多态性比例为34.78%;10对引物中有3对引物为多态性引物。聚类分析显示,不同同源四倍体株系与二倍体的遗传差异大小亦不同;在10个同源四倍体株系中有3个株系扩增的条带与二倍体完全相同,7个同源四倍体株系与二倍体相比产生了差异性条带。研究结果表明,西洋梨二倍体与其同源四倍体之间以及10个同源四倍体株系之间在DNA水平上表现出了一定的多态性。本研究能够为进一步进行西洋梨多倍体的育种实践提供理论指导。     

水稻与高梁属间远缘杂交花粉管行为观察

水稻和高粱是禾本科的两个异属作物,因其遗传距离较远,杂交表现不亲和,结实率极低,难以获得种子.为初步了解水稻与高粱属间远缘杂交花粉管行为,探索该远缘杂交的发生过程,本实验以籼稻珍汕97A×珍汕97B和Ⅱ-32A×Ⅱ-32B两个组合为对照,对珍汕97A×晋江多枝高粱和Ⅱ-32A×晋江多枝高粱两个属间远缘杂交组合的花粉管行为作初步的观察与研究,结果表明晋江多枝高粱花粉粒能象水稻花粉粒一样在水稻柱头上正常萌发,花粉管在花柱及子房中生长与伸长,有些能最终到达子房的基部;同时高梁花粉管生长也出现诸如不能进入花柱、胼胝质不规则堆积、花粉管末端钝化等一系列的异常表现,致使不少花粉管停滞生长.     

玉米与摩擦禾、薏苡的杂交不亲和性

采用荧光显微技术, 对摩擦禾、薏苡花粉在玉米柱头上的萌发和生长过程进行了观察。摩擦禾花粉粒在玉米柱头上均能萌发, 花粉管在柱头中伸长并到达花柱基部, 且可将雄配子送入胚囊内, 玉米果穗顶端有受精结实痕迹, 说明摩擦禾与玉米的杂交障碍不是杂交不亲和, 而是胚囊不亲和或杂种衰亡。薏苡花粉粒在玉米柱头也能萌发, 花粉管能伸入花柱, 但玉米与薏苡杂交生殖隔离较摩擦禾严格, 杂交极其困难, 杂交障碍为胚囊不亲和或花柱不亲和。玉米与薏苡杂交时, 薏米花粉管能到达玉米花柱基部, 而川谷花粉管却在花柱中停止生长, 杂交障碍与薏苡种类有关。玉米与薏苡杂交的花粉管异常率高于玉米与摩擦禾杂交花粉管异常率, 反映了玉米与摩擦禾的亲缘关系较与薏苡近。     

二倍体及四倍体枳橙DNA甲基化变异的MSAP分析

为探讨染色体加倍对四倍体枳橙(Citrus sinensis (L.) Osb.×Poncirus trifoliate (L.) Raf.)叶片基因组DNA甲基化修饰的影响,明确四倍体枳橙基因组DNA甲基化水平及模式的变化特征。本研究以枳橙二倍体为对照,利用MSAP分子标记技术对同源四倍体枳橙叶片基因组DNA甲基化水平及模式变化进行分析。结果表明,10对选择性扩增引物共扩增出775条条带,二倍体和同源四倍体枳橙扩增带数分别为391条和384条,对应的总甲基化率分别为31.97%(含全甲基化率16.37%,半甲基化率15.6%)和31.25%(含全甲基化率18.49%,半甲基化率12.76%);MSAP扩增条带统计表明,同源四倍体的总甲基化率变化较小,全甲基化率高于二倍体,半甲基化率较二倍体均有所降低,相比二倍体对照,四倍体枳橙叶片基因组DNA主要发生了甲基化模式的变化。     

同源四倍体光温敏核不育水稻育性的初步研究

在多倍性水平上研究水稻的增产潜力是值得深入探索的新领域.我们在研究同源四倍体水稻的生殖特性时发现,籼、粳稻在二倍性水平上,其杂种第一代的结实率和籽粒充实度很难达到正常水平,而在四倍体水平上很容易达到正常水平,由此提出在同源四倍体水平利用亚种间强大的杂种优势的思路[1].     

High embryo sac fertility and diversity of abnormal embryo sacs detected in autotetraploid indica/japonica hybrids in rice by whole‐mount eosin B‐staining confocal laser scanning microscopy

An eosin B staining procedure for use with confocal microscopy (WE‐CLSM) was used to examine the mature embryo sacs in 24 typical autotetraploid (2n = 4x = 48) indica/japonica hybrids and to compare with their original diploid (2n = 2x = 24) indica/japonica hybrids in rice. Four of the 24 hybrids showed >80% embryo sac fertility, and 13 hybrids over 70%. The average embryo sac fertility of the 24 autotetraploid indica/japonica hybrids was 68.08%, which was 17.33% higher than that in diploid hybrids. When compared with the diploid hybrids, 79.17% of the autotetraploid hybrids had higher embryo sac fertility. A diversity of abnormal embryo sacs occurred in autotetraploid indica/japonica hybrids. Embryo sac abnormalities were similar for both autotetraploid and diploid hybrid, but their frequencies were different. Some novel abnormal types were found in autotetraploid hybrids, such as enlarged egg apparatus. The embryo sac fertilities and frequencies of various abnormalities in autotetraploid hybrids varied with parental genotype and environment. The average seed set of the autotetraploid hybrids were higher than their diploid hybrids in different growing seasons.     

Factors affecting seed set in the crosses between <Emphasis Type="Italic">Dendranthema grandiflorum</Emphasis> (Ramat.) Kitamura and its wild species

Reproductive barriers often exist in the crosses between Dendranthema grandiflorum (Ramat.) Kitamura and its wild species and seriously result in low seed set, consequently reducing breeding efficiency. For the purpose of revealing the factors leading to low seed set, we investigated pollen viability, germination behavior of pollen grains on stigmas and embryo development in the crosses between D. grandiflorum and three wild species, D. nankingense (Nakai) Tzvel., D. indicum (L.) Des Moul. and D. zawadskii (Herb.) Tzvel. using technique of paraffin section, and light, fluorescence and scanning electron microscopy. The results indicated pollen viability of three wild species ranged from 20 to 25%. In the cross between D. grandiflorum and D. nankingense, very few pollen grains germinated on stigmas after pollination and most of them germinated abnormally. In addition, normal embryos were observed in 12% ovaries at 8 days after pollination and thereafter all the embryos aborted. In other two crosses, many pollen grains germinated on stigmas and pollen tubes penetrated stigmas normally after pollination. Moreover, normal embryos were observed in over 50% ovaries from 8 to 15 days after pollination in the cross between D. grandiflorum and D. indicum, and seed set was 59%. In the cross between D. grandiflorum and D. zawadskii, normal embryos were observed in 52% ovaries at 8 days after pollination. After that, however, most embryos degenerated and seed set was only 9%. These data suggest that pollen viability has no significant effects on seed set of the three crosses. Very few germinated pollen grains on stigmas and abnormal growth of most pollen tubes before fertilization, and embryo abortion are the main factors causing failure of the cross between D. grandiflorum and D. nankingense, whereas only embryo abortion is a main factor resulting in low seed set in the cross between D. grandiflorum and D. zawadskii and no barriers occur in the cross between D. grandiflorum and D. indicum.     

水稻胚囊发育过程中特异类型的共聚焦显微镜观察

利用激光扫描共聚焦显微镜术对水稻品种IR36二倍体及其同源四倍体的胚囊形成和发育过程进行了系统的研究。在IR36二倍体胚囊的发育过程中,观察到了几种前人未曾报道的异常胚囊类型,即三核胚囊、六核胚囊、九核胚囊及一些退化胚囊,其形成机制有待进一步研究。观察结果可为正确认识水稻胚囊发育形成过程提供参考资料。     

Rapid method of determining pollen incompatibility in Chrysanthemum morifolium Ramat

Summary A classification system for predicting high, medium and low seed set from Chrysanthemum morifolium crosses was developed. Stigmas collected and preserved 8 days after pollination were examined with a binocular microscope for adhering pollen grains. Florets from compatible crosses had brown stigmas with pollen grains attached and embryo development while florets from incompatible crosses had white stigmas with no or rarely 1 or 2 pollen grains attached and no embryo development. Using this method the occurrence of seed set was predicted with 78.5% accuracy in one year and 89% in the following. This provides a method of determining the compatibility of a chrysanthemum cross without waiting the 1 to 2 months required for seed ripening.Scientific Journal Series Paper Number 7570 of the Minnesota Agricultural Experiment Station.     

同源四倍体水稻花粉母细胞减数分裂期间微管骨架组织和结构变化

应用间接免疫荧光标记-激光扫描共聚焦显微术,观察了同源四倍体水稻花粉母细胞减数分裂过程的微管骨架和染色体行为变化。结果表明:同源四倍体水稻花粉母细胞微管组织形态变化与二倍体水稻的基本一致,但出现一些不同,如核周微管较长,纺锤体微管数量较多;并呈现许多异常现象。前期I细线期,微管数量少,分布不均匀;偶线期,呈现不规则网络状结构,未见明显的极性分布;粗线期,核仁解体,呈现混乱的网络状结构;双线期,微管提早解聚,不形成环绕状微管;终变期,微管数量稀少,核周未见明显的微管聚集;中期I纺锤体形态出现多种异常现象;末期I成膜体形状异常,出现点状微管;末期II-四分体时期,二分体细胞两端不分开;出现三分体细胞,其内微管混乱。以上各时期的染色体行为也出现不同程度的异常。综合认为,微管组织的异常可能与染色体的行为异常存在一定的关联,两者共同作用影响花粉发育,导致育性偏低。     

小麦×羊草远缘杂交的受精和胚胎发育

对小麦（ＴｒｉｔｉｃｕｍａｅｓｔｉｖｕｎＬ）和羊草（ＬｅｙｍｕｓｃｈｉｎｅｎｓｉｓＴ．）杂交的受精和胚胎发育进行了研究。羊草花粉在小麦柱头上萌发较好，花粉管能顺利穿过柱头，进入胚囊。在检查过的３１０个子房中，１７个（５．５％）发生了双受精，产生了胚和胚乳；２个（０．６５％）发生了单卵受精，只产生胚而无胚乳；７个（２．２６％）发生了单极核受精，只产生胚乳而无胚。小麦×羊草虽然受精率为８．４１％，但最后结实率很低，若利用胚培养技术对杂种胚进行早期离体培养，可望提高杂种植株的获得率     

A statistical mixture model for estimating the proportion of unreduced pollen grains in perennial ryegrass (Lolium perenne L.) via the size of pollen grains

Summary The size of pollen grains is commonly used to indicate the ploidy level of pollen grains. In this paper observations of the diameter of pollen grains are evaluated from one diploid accession of perennial ryegrass (Lolium perenne L.), which was expected to produce diploid (unreduced) pollen grains in addition to haploid pollen grains. The considerable overlap of the diameter distributions of haploid and diploid pollen grains severely hampers the accurate estimation of the proportion of diploid pollen grains. To overcome this problem we develop in this paper a statistical normal mixture model and we describe a method to test for the production of diploid pollen grains from a diploid parent, and to estimate the proportion of diploid pollen grains.     

Morphological changes and self-incompatibility breakdown associated with autopolyploidization in <Emphasis Type="Italic">Hylocereus</Emphasis> species (Cactaceae)

Chromosome duplication—autopolyploidization—may affect plant morphology and breeding systems, ultimately enabling the production of improved genotypes. In this study, the autotetraploid lines obtained from the self-incompatible diploid Hylocereus monacanthus and the autooctapolyploid lines obtained from the self-compatible tetraploid H. megalanthus were studied and compared with the donor accessions. The resulting H. monacanthus autotetraploids exhibit lower fruit weight, seed number, and pollen viability than the donor plant, but it has larger pollen grains. Although the resulting H. megalanthus autooctaploids had larger pollen grains and lower pollen viability compared with the donor plant, only aborted fruits were obtained from these lines. The most valuable change observed was the breakdown of the self-incompatibility system in the H. monacanthus autotetraploid lines. This research provides important information on the horticultural value of vine cacti autopolyploid lines.     

Autotetraploidy in caraway (Carum carvi L.) for the increase of the aetheric oil content of the seed

Summary An autotetraploid population of caraway (Carum carvi L.) was produced by treating the growing points of young plants with a 0.2% colchicine solution. Selection on morphology, pollen size and pollen shape, followed by a selection on seed size proved to be an effective way to identify the mixoploid C₀ plants. Three percent of the treated plants produced a tetraploid progeny. Moderate selection in the C₁ and the C₂ population resulted in an improvement of the average seed-set to the amount of 50% of the diploid control, with a range of 21–78%. The 1000-kernel weight of the tetraploid material was 7 g, compared to 3 g in the diploid control. The oil content of the autotetraploid seed was increased with 35.6%; the increase in carvone amounted to 6.9%. The results of the experiment indicate that breeding work in autotetraploid caraway may result in a new cultivar.
