Meiotic and Isozymic Analyses of Tall Fescue × Giant Fescue Hybrids and Amphiploids1

The meiotic behavior of three tall fescue (Festuca arundinacea, 2n = 6x = 42) genotypes, giant fescue (F. gigantea, 2n = 6x = 42), and their reciprocal F₁ hybrids and C₁, amphiploids was evaluated to determine the parental genomic relationships. Isozyme banding patterns were used to confirm the parental identity of the hybrids and amphiploids. At meta-phase I, the parents had predominantly bivalent pairing. The hybrids had an average of 9.51 I, 16.02 II, 0.12 III, 0.02 IV, and the amphiploids had 2.17 I, 38.82 II, 0.60 III, 0.58 IV, 0.01 V—VIII. The prevalence of bivalent pairing in both hybrids and amphiploids suggested a homoeologous relationship between the six genomes, with four of the six being more closely related. Bivalent pairing in the amphiploids indicated genetic regulation of chromosome pairing. Zymograms were obtained for acid phosphatase (ACPH), alcohol dehydrogenase (ADH), glutamate oxaloacetate transaminase (GOT), malate dehydrogenase (MDH), 6-phosphogluconate dehydrogenase (6-PGD) and phosphoglucoisomerase (PGI). The three tall fescue and giant fescue parents had different zymograms for ACPH, MDH, 6-PGD and PGI; thus, the tall fescue parents of the hybrids and amphiploids could be determined based on the banding patterns of these four enzymes. Phenotypes were determined for ACPH-1, PGI-2 and 6-PGD-1. ACPH-1 may be used to follow the introgression of giant fescue chromatin into a certain tall fescue genotype.

Identification of marine algicidal Flavobacterium sp. 5 N-3 using multiple probes and whole-cell hybridization

ABSTRACT: We designed five 16S rRNA-targeted oligonucleotide probes (Sp probes) specific for Flavobacterium sp. 5 N-3, which inhibits the growth of red tide phytoplankton Gymnodinium mikimotoi (Dinophyceae). These probes were evaluated by whole-cell hybridization against 5 N-3 cells incubated under laboratory conditions. The fluorescence signal from the cell detected with Sp probe mix5, a mixture of the five probes, was 8.4-fold higher than that obtained with only one Sp probe (Sp01RF). The signal obtained by this method was strong enough to recognize 5 N-3 cells and count them under the epifluorescence microscope, while the signal was often undetectable when a single probe was used. Fluorescence intensities of cells at stationary phases and of 'starved' cells in sterile seawater using Sp probe mix5 were low but still sufficient for enumeration. These Sp probes did not hybridize with 11 strains from the Cytophaga/Flavobacteria/Bacteroides phylum and did react with strain 5 N-3 following whole-cell hybridization. These results show that 5 N-3 cells cultivated under our laboratory conditions can be detected by whole-cell hybridization with the five designed probes. These data also suggest that this technique may be useful for detection of an algicidal bacterium 5 N-3 in the natural environment.     

Production of hybrids between Cajanus acutifolius and C. cajan

There are many wild species of pigeonpea which are endemic to Australia. These wild species are cross incompatible with cultivated species of Indian origin. Cajanus acutifolius is one such species which does not easily cross with cultivated pigeonpea. Interspecific pollinations lead to hybrid seeds which were semi-shrivelled. Very few seeds germinated to give rise to F1 plants. Backcrossing the hybrid plants to C. cajan, the male parent, gave rise to aborting seeds which did not germinate in vivo hence BC1 plants are obtained after saving the aborting embryos in vitro. BC₁ plants showed normal meiotic pairing, but had low pollen fertility. The reasons for embryo abortion and low pollen fertility in spite of normal meiosis could be due to the effect of wild species cytoplasm.

大豆种间杂交产量性状的遗传变异

1980年,我们用野生、半野生大豆与不同类型的栽培大豆杂交,共计10个组合.研究了杂种后代农艺性状的变异、遗传及其相互关系.结果表明:F_1;除百粒重外其它性状均有明显的杂种优势.F_2、F_3、F_4分离相当复杂,并出现许多超高亲单株和品系,其中最主要的产量性状为株高、主茎节数、每株荚数和粒数.这些性状变异幅度大,遗传力高,并与产量存在显著的正相关.有些组合百粒重与产量相关也比较明显.据我们研究,可以通过双亲百粒重预测其后代百粒重的大小,其公式为:(P_1P_2)~1/2(几何平均数)≤F_1(百粒重)<(1/2)(P_1+P_2)算术平均数.F_1与F_2,F_2与F_3百粒重之间关系密切,相关系数分别为O.9450、0.763l.这样,在F_l就可以选择百粒重.在高产×高产的组合中,后代分离高产单株和品系的机率大,实际产量也高,因此,可以早代淘汰组合.随着世代的增加,一些主要的农艺性状有明显的进化趋势,茎变粗,半直立、直立类型增多,F_2种皮分离出所有栽培大豆颜色(黄、黑、青、褐、双)及一系列的过渡色,还发现新的狸色,反映出大豆种皮色的进化历程.     

Interspecific hybridization inBrassica juncea × Brassica hirta using embryo rescue

Summary Interspecific hybrids have been obtained in an otherwise incompatible cross betweenBrassica juncea × Brassica hirta through the in vitro culture of hybrid ovules and ovaries. The best response was observed from ovules and ovaries cultured 10–15 and 5–7 days after pollination respectively on a basal medium supplemented with indoleacetic acid, kinetin and casein hydrolysate. In some cases the basal cut end of the ovaries proliferated to form callus and shoots. The in vitro-derived hybrid seeds varied in their colour, size and shape, and the F₁ plants in the field showed a large diversity in their morphological traits. The hybrids were sterile, and had an intermediate number of chromosomes (2n=30).     

Interspecific hybridization of a multiploid mutant of durum wheat with rye and Triticum monococcum L. results in pentaploid hybrids

The multiploid mutant of durum wheat is a genotype that produces unreduced gametes. Our objective was to test the recovery of pentaploid hybrids in crosses of the mutant with rye and Triticum monococcum L. Compared with check crosses, the mutant had a two‐third reduction in percent seed set for rye crosses, but had only a slight decrease in crossability with T. monococcum. Pentaploid hybrids were associated with plump seeds of the mutant/rye cross, and with shrivelled seeds of the mutant/T. monococcum cross. We suggest that the endosperm balance number hypothesis explains the association of pentaploid hybrids with endosperm type. This association made for easy recovery of pentaploid hybrids from crosses to both species. Mature, plump seeds from the mutant/rye cross were germinated and pentaploid hybrids were recovered. One pentaploid hybrid was recovered for every 50.5 and 15.1 florets pollinated with rye and T. monococcum, respectively. Unreduced gametes in the multiploid mutant will facilitate interspecific hybridization by reducing the time to produce pentaploid plants.     

Critical Discussion on Abortive Interspecific Crosses in Brassica

In most interspecific hybridization among diploid Brassica species (n = 8, 9, 10), few or no hybrids are obtained, and the three crosses of tetraploid (n = 17, 18, 19) by diploid species are usually only partially successful, especially in one of the reciprocal crosses. Such a cross-incompatibility complex is explained in this paper by a polar-nuclei activation (PNA) hypothesis which proposes two reversible functions, a normal reproduction and a sexual barrier, of double fertilization in higher plants. The first, i.e. the relative activating value (AV) of diploid species, was estimated as 1.0–3.5, whereas that of tetraploid species was 2.7–5.2. In addition, crosses with a polar nuclei activation index (AI) of about 15–87 % were compatible but those beyond the two limits were incompatible, 50 % of those showing normal seed development after self-pollination.     

Morphological and molecular analysis of androgenetic, selfed and backcrossed plants produced from a Hordeum vulgare x H, bulbosum hybrid

Anther culture (AC) was carried out on a fertile triploid hybrid between Hordeum vulgare L. (cultivated barley) and H. bulbosum L, (bulbous barley grass) to determine whether AC-derived regenerants differed from progeny obtained through selfing and backcrossing. Chromosome counts were carried out on all plants and DNA was extracted from them to prepare Southern blots for molecular analysis. To identify true recombinants, the blots were probed with rye repetitive sequence probes (pSc119.1 and pScl19.2). which hybridize strongly and specifically to H. bulbosum DNA. Twenty probes that detect single- or low-copy sequences were hybridized with Southern blots containing restricted DNA extracted from 25 AC-derived plants, 11 selfed and six backcrossed progeny that showed hybridizations with pScll9. Although restriction fragment length polymorphisms (RFLPs) were only observed using probes that map to four of the possible 14 chromosome arms, an introgression associated with chromosome 6HS was frequently observed among plants derived from AC. selfing and backcrossing. Plants from AC differed from selfed and backcrossed progeny in their chromosome number; unique RFLP bands that were occasionally observed may indicate chromosomal rearrangements.
