萝卜雄性不育小孢子发生的形态学研究

对萝卜雄性不育花进行形态学观察，发现两种类型的不育花，即花粉败育型和雄蕊萎缩型。比较研究了可育花及花种类型的不育花小孢子发育的细胞形态学特征，发现萝卜小孢子败育是个连续过程，在造孢细胞时期就已出现败育迹象，在小孢子发育过程中，绒毡层细胞出现液泡化、肥大、增生等异常现象。小孢子的败育与绒毡层细胞异常同步发生，小孢子一直信滞在单核期不再进一步发育，最终消失。另外，在正常可育小孢子发育过程中还偶尔观察到了不育花粉粒的存在。     

水稻F1花粉不育基因的精细定位及其遗传分化研究

水稻籼粳亚种间杂种的不育性限制了亚种间的遗传交流和杂种优势利用。本研究通过发展位置特异性的微卫星标记将F1花粉不育基因S-6座位进行了精细定位；通过分析近等基因系中代换片段的遗传效应，鉴定出了F1花粉不育基因S-d座位，利用位置特异性的微卫星标记将S-d进行了定位；根据基因组的序列资料和利用较大的作图群体对S-6和S-d两个座位进行了物理作图；通过分子标记辅助选择培育了一批复等位基因近等基因系，对育性基因的遗传分化进行了研究。取得了如下主要结果：1、根据S-6座位初步定位的结果发展位置特异性的微卫星标记，将F1花粉不育基因座S-6进行了精细定位。结果表明多态性标记均与S-6座位紧密连锁，其中R830STS、PSM7、PSM8、PSM9、．PSM59和PSM60位于S-6座位一端，与S-6座位遗传距离分别为1．5cM、1．2cM、0．9cM、0．9cM、0．9cM和0．9cM，而PSM202、PSM206、PSM208、RMl3、R2213SSTS和RM413位于S-6座位的另一端，与S-6座位的遗传距离分别为0．9cM、2．1cM、3．8cM、4．1cM、4．4cM和5．3cM。2、根据S-6座位精细定位的结果，从IRGSP下载了S-6座位所在区域克隆的序列，将克隆的序列进行了拼接，同时将与S-6座位紧密连锁的分子标记与序列拼接图进行了电子整合。根据整合的结果发展位置特异性的微卫星标记和STS标记，利用500株的作图群体，最终将S-6座位界定在PSM8与PSM215之间182．2kb的范围，其中PSM214、T17、T18和T19与S-6座位完全连锁。3、通过对近等基因系E11-5中代换片段遗传效应的分析，在第1染色体的代换片段上鉴定出一个新的F1花粉不育基因座S-d。根据基因组的序列发展位置特异性的微卫星标记将S-d座位进行了定位。结果表明多态性标记均与S-d座位紧密连锁，其中PSM27、PSM24、．PSM26、PSM23、PSM31、PSM25、PSM37、PSM41、PSM42、PSM43、．PSM44、．PSMl2和PSMl3位于S-d座位的一端，与S-d座位的遗传距离分别为10．6cM、7．2cM、7．2cM、6．8cM、6．8cM、6．4cM、6．4cM、4．8cM、4．8cM、3．2cM、1．6cM、0．4cM和0．4cM，而RM84、RM86、RM323、RMl和RM283位于S-d座位的另一端，与S-d座位的遗传距离分别为3．8cM、4．6cM、6．7cM、7．5cM和8．7cM。4、根据S—d座位定位的结果，从IRGSP下载了S-d座位所在区域克隆的序列，将克隆的序列进行了拼接，同时将与S-d紧密连锁的分子标记与序列拼接图进行了电子整合。根据整合的结果发展位置特异性的微卫星标记和STS标记，利用2160株的作图群体，最终将S-d座位界定在67．8kb的范围内，其中PSM93和PSM74位于S-d座位的两侧且各与S-d仅有一个重组，而PSM95、PSM96、T1和T2与S-d座位完全连锁。RiceGAAS注释分析表明在此区段有17个ORF。，其中3个ORF可能与杂种不育性有关。BLAST分析表明此段序列籼粳之间的同源性较低，这也可能是杂种不育的一个原因。5、通过分子标记辅助选择，在F1花粉不育基因s-n、s-6、s-c和s-d座位各培育了一批复等位基因近等基因系，测交分析表明各不育基因座位上的不育基因不仅分化为相对的S^i和S^j，而且基因型类型相同的复等位基因的遗传分化也达到了显著差异的水平。携带有多个复等位基因的近等基因系的测交分析表明，复等位基因近等基因系的遗传效应为各基因座位遗传效应的累加，各基因的遗传效应相互独立，彼此间无相互作用。     

Bud pollination and hybrid seed production in detergent-induced male sterile plants of Brassica juncea

The efficacy of a synthetic detergent (Surf Excel) as a potential chemical hybridizing agent in Brassica juncea was studied. Foliar sprays with various concentrations of the detergent caused reductions in plant height, number of branches and leaves per plant, size of leaves, anther size, pollen per flower, ovules per flower, pollen fertility, fruits per plant, fruit size, seeds per fruit, total yield per plant and 100 seed weight as compared with those of untreated plants. The style in the floral buds of plants sprayed with different concentrations of Surf Excel elongated and so the receptive stigma protruded from the buds which facilitated cross‐pollination by honey bees. The plants sprayed once with 2% Surf Excel exhibited an elongated style with a raised receptive stigma and 100% pollen sterility without causing a significant reduction in total yield.     

Moricandia arvensis cytoplasm based system of cytoplasmic male sterility in Brassica juncea: Reappraisal of fertility restoration and agronomic potential

Cytoplasmic male sterility (CMS) system based on the cytoplasm from Moricandia arvensis (mori) was investigated for fertility restoration and agronomic potential. Fertility restorer gene for mori CMS was introgressed from cytoplasm donor species as all the evaluated Brassica juncea genotypes (155) acted as sterility maintainers. The allosyndetic pairing between M^a and the A/B genome chromosomes in the monosomic addition plants (2n= 18II + 1M^a) facilitated the gene introgression. Partial fertility restoration (43–52% pollen grain stainability) in F₁ hybrids and absence of segregation for male sterility in F₂ progenies suggested gametophytic control of fertility restoration. The pollen fertility in the F₁ hybrids was, however, sufficient to ensure complete seed set upon bag selfing. Introgression from M. arvensis also helped in correction of chlorosis associated with mori cytoplasm in CMS and fertile alloplasmic B. juncea plants. Yield evaluation of thirty F₁ hybrids having the same nuclear genotype but varied male sterilizing cytoplasms (mori, oxy, lyr, refined ogu), in comparison to respective euplasmic hand bred control hybrids, allowed an estimate of yield penalty associated with different CMS systems. It ranged from 1.8% to 61.6%. Hybrids based on cytoplasmically refined ogu were most productive followed by those based on cytoplasmically refined mori CMS. The male sterility systems emanating from somatic hybridization were found superior than those developed from sexual hybridization.     

A simple method to control the seed purity of japonica hybrid rice varieties using PCR-based markers

Cytoplasmic male sterility (CMS) by the cms‐bo cytoplasm and its restoration by the nuclear restorer gene, Rf‐1, are used for seed production of japonica hybrid rice varieties. To produce pure hybrid seeds, a prerequisite is to properly manage the seed purity of parental lines, especially CMS lines. In this study, three dominant polymerase chain reaction (PCR)‐based markers (M1, M2 and M3) were developed to detect mutual contamination in seed batches of CMS lines, maintainer lines, restorer lines and hybrids. M1 detected the mitochondrial sequence that was present in the cytoplasm of common japonica varieties and absent in the cms‐bo cytoplasm. M2 and M3 detected the chromosomal sequence related to the Rf‐1 allele in restorer lines and the rf‐1 allele in common japonica varieties, respectively. By the strategic use of these markers, japonica hybrids and their parental lines could be efficiently distinguished from each other. Furthermore, sensitivity tests for the three markers with a series of crude DNA samples prepared from polished grains demonstrated that these markers could detect one contaminating grain among 500 or 1000 grains. Therefore, the bulk PCR analyses with the markers developed here probably make it possible to control the seed purity of japonica hybrids properly by selecting appropriate seed batches of their parental lines quickly and efficiently.     

Seed productivity test of CMS lines of Japanese bunching onion (Allium fistulosum L.) possessing the cytoplasm of a wild species, A. galanthum Kar. et Kir.

In a previous study, we developed male sterile lines of Japanese bunching onion (Allium fistulosum L.) possessing the cytoplasm of a wild species, A. galanthum Kar. et Kir., by backcrossing. To evaluate seed productivity of the male sterile lines in practise, they were crossed with the male fertile line, cultivar 'Kujyo', using honeybees as pollinators under field conditions. The number of florets and seeds per inflorescence, seed set and seed germination of the material were investigated. Although variation was observed among the male sterile lines, there were several lines having seed productivity equal to cultivar 'Kujyo'. Our data demonstrate that the male sterile lines of A. fistulosum possessing the cytoplasm of A. galanthum are useful as seed parents for the commercial F seed production of A. fistulosum.     

ATP合成相关基因在小麦BNS不育系育性转换中的差异表达

为了探讨ATP合酶α亚基和腺嘌呤磷酸核糖基转移酶(APRT)与温敏雄性不育系BNS育性的联系,利用荧光实时定量PCR方法,在花药发育的4个重要时期(四分体期、单核期、二核期和三核期),定量检测ATP合酶α亚基和APRT相关基因在不育及可育条件下花药中的mRNA表达水平。不育条件下,ATP合酶α亚基基因从四分体到二核期表达量持续下降,与可育株相比在单核期表达量显著下降;APRT1在4个时期的表达量低于其在相应可育条件下的表达量,而APRT2基因在BNS不育和可育条件下维持较低的表达水平。APRT相关基因表达量在三核期均有较显著提高,且可育条件下比不育条件下提高更明显。因此认为,ATP合酶α亚基基因与BNS育性转换密切正相关,APRT基因在三核期转录水平的变化与BNS育性转换有一定关系。     

水稻三明显性核不育基因的初步鉴定

2001年在福建省尤溪县西城镇凤元村进行两系核不育系育性鉴定时, 在SE21S/Basmati 370组合编号为S221的800多株F₂代分离群体中发现1株与其他不育株的花粉败育形态不同的植株。经测交、回交、姐妹交的后代育性分离调查, 不育株与可育株呈1︰1分离, 以不育株为母本与普通品种配制杂交组合, 其后代育性呈1︰1分离, 可育株后代分离不出不育株, 表明S221不育性受核内1对显性不育基因控制。     

化学杂交剂SQ-1诱导糜子雄性不育效果研究

采用裂区试验设计, 以喷药时期为主区, 喷药剂量为副区, 探讨了用SQ-1诱导产生的雄性不育率、杂交率及自然授粉结实率3项指标评价应用效果。结果表明, 喷药时期、喷药剂量及时期与剂量一级互作显著或极显著影响不育率和杂交率。在雌雄蕊原基分化期, 喷药剂量为4.0和5.0 kg hm^-2时诱导雄性不育率、杂交率都在95％以上; 花粉粒分化形成初期, 喷药剂量为5.0 kg hm^-2时诱导雄性不育率和杂交率都在95％以上。喷药时期对自然授粉结实率影响不显著, 剂量及时期与剂量一级互作影响显著, 自然授粉结实率随着剂量的增加呈降低趋势。SQ-1用于糜子的最佳时期为雌雄蕊原基分化期, 最适剂量4.0 kg hm^-2。     

缺氮对细胞质雄性不育玉米产量和光合特性的影响

在露天池栽条件下, 比较研究了玉米细胞质雄性不育系(CMS)与其同型可育系的产量构成及其光合特性对氮素亏缺的响应。结果表明, 在相同氮素供应水平下, CMS的产量显著高于其同型可育系, 平均增产达11.5%, 缺氮条件下千粒重、收获指数显著提高, 而穗粒数差异不显著。花后CMS玉米叶片具有较高的含氮量、叶面积指数、叶绿素含量和可溶性蛋白含量, 且在生育后期降低缓慢, 延长了有效光合持续期, 延缓了植株衰老进程。不育植株生育后期的净光合速率(P_n)、细胞间隙CO₂浓度(C_i)和气孔导度(G_s)均显著高于其可育系, 且气体交换参数对缺氮反应不敏感。不育系的叶绿体荧光参数实际光化学效率(FPSⅡ)、电子传递速率(ETR)和最大光化学效率(F_v/F_o)在生育后期也保持较高水平。说明不育植株生育后期在光合能力、电子传递和光能转化方面均具有明显优势, 其产量提高可能是籽粒充实期叶片生理质量和光合效率共同提高的结果。
