We used microsatellite markers to investigate the genetic parameters of three different polyploidy populations of Misgurnus anguillicaudatus from Honghu City, Hubei Province. Polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis banding patterns of diploid(2n), triploid(3n) and tetraploid loaches(4n) were analyzed with Pop Gen software. A total of 68 alleles were obtained from seven microsatellite loci and the polymorphism information content(PIC) indices were all above 0.5. The average expected mean heterozygosity values(He) were 0.8420, 0.7186 and 0.8521; the average observed mean heterozygosity values(Ho) were 0.9674, 0.9785 and 0.8928; and the HardyWeinberg P values were 0.3078, 0.3151 and 0.3762, for diploid, triploid and tetraploid individuals, respectively. The results indicated that the three populations were highly polymorphic, with no deviations from Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium observed at all the seven microsatellite loci. This indicated a high level of genetic diversity within the populations. A cluster analysis diagram showed that the shortest genetic distance was between diploid and tetraploid loaches and they shared a close phylogenetic relationship. The triploid and tetraploid individuals had the most distant phylogenetic relationship. 相似文献
Suppression of cell division causes chromosome set doubling. Some chemical agents or physical shocks such as temperature or hydrostatic pressure are effective tools for suppression of cell division. As spindles are obviously inactivated or disorganized by these treatments, it has been supposed that inactivation or disassembly of spindles blocks the anaphase movement of chromosomes and a duplicated nucleus is formed without cell division. The present study demonstrated that hydrostatic pressure treatment (650 kg/cm2 for 6 min) around the time of metaphase of the first cell cycle of the rainbow trout embryos did not suppress the first cleavage but the second one. Spindles disassembled by the hydrostatic pressure or heat shock regenerated soon after treatment, resulting in the occurrence of the first mitosis. Interestingly, a monopolar spindle was assembled in each blastomere in the second cell cycle, and disjunction of duplicated chromosomes and the cleavage was prevented, leading to the chromosome set doubling. From the third cell cycle, normal cell division resumed. No significant difference was found between the area of the nucleus plate of the treated embryos and twice the area of the nucleus plate of control embryos in the third cell cycle, meaning that the chromosome sets had been doubled at the end of the second cell cycle. The process of chromosome set doubling caused by heat shock seemed to be fundamentally the same as that caused by hydrostatic pressure. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first time that the mechanism of chromosome set doubling in animal eggs treated with hydrostatic-pressure or heat shock has been clarified.
Haploid–diploid or diploid–tetraploid mosaics sometimes occur among individuals treated for cleavage inhibition. The mechanism of such occurrence of mosaicism is, however, not clear. In this study, we found interesting two-cell stage embryos, which had a monopolar spindle in one blastomere and a bipolar spindle in the other during the second mitosis in a batch subjected to tetraploidization treatment. These embryos have a high potential of developing diploid–tetraploid mosaics. This paper also discusses the mechanism of occurrence of these aberrant embryos and discusses their relationship to diploid–tetraploid mosaicism. 相似文献
