kr基因在普通小麦—偃麦草双二倍体背景下的遗传表达分析

通过ＣＳ／Ｔｈ．ｅｌｏｎｇａｔｕｍ和ＣＳ／Ｔｈ．ｂｅｓａｒｂｉｃｕｍ两个双二倍体与黑麦和粘果山羊草的可杂交性，分析了中国春（ＣＳ）的隐性ｋｒ基因在普通小麦－偃麦草双二倍体下的遗传表达。结果表明，偃麦草种Ｔｈ．ｅｌｏｎｇａｔｕｍ和Ｔｈ．ｂｅｓａｒｂｉｃｕｍ中可能存在抑制ＣＳ隐性ｋｒ基因在普通小麦－偃麦草双二倍体中正常表达的遗传因子，其抑制效应因与普通小麦－偃麦草双二倍体杂交的父本不同而异。同时，Ｔｈ．ｅｌｏｎｇａｔｕｍ和Ｔｈ．ｂｅｓａｒｂｉｃｕｍ两个种中的抑制因子的抑制效应也存在差异。     

利用异源六倍体(A~rA~rA~nA~nC~nC~n)与甘蓝种间杂交合成甘蓝型油菜的新方法

利用亲本种的遗传变异是改良油菜的重要途径,本研究提出一种利用甘蓝拓宽甘蓝型油菜遗传多样性的新方法。以甘蓝型油菜(AnAnCnCn)品种中双11号为母本,与白菜型油菜(ArAr)品系SWU07杂交,经染色体加倍获得异源六倍体(ArArAnAnCnCn),再与甘蓝(CoCo)杂交,创建出具有亲本种遗传成分的新型甘蓝型油菜(ArAnCnCo)。该六倍体连续3个世代核型稳定,各世代中的自交和自由授粉结实率无显著差异,花粉育性在94.6%～98.8%之间,3个世代自交平均结实率为每角果5.47粒,自由授粉平均结实率为每角果7.93粒;各世代六倍体(ArArAnAnCnCn)与不同类型甘蓝杂交平均结实率分别为每角果0.05、0.04、0.05粒,世代间无显著差异,且六倍体与栽培、野生甘蓝杂交结实性无显著差异,可交配性不受六倍体世代及甘蓝类型的影响。尽管该六倍体与甘蓝可交配性较低,但仍可在田间条件下成功杂交,获得新型甘蓝型油菜(ArAnCnCo),表明以ArArAnAnCnCn六倍体为桥梁与甘蓝杂交,是一种有效导入甘蓝遗传成分、创建新型甘蓝型油菜的新方法。     

甘蓝型油菜亲本基因型对其与埃塞俄比亚芥的可交配性影响

以10个甘蓝型油菜品种与埃塞俄比亚芥进行了正反杂交。结果表明,甘蓝型油莱与埃塞俄比亚芥的种间可交配性很低,但在反映可交配性强弱的各个性状上,基因型间的差异显著。甘蓝型油菜作母本时,受精频率和结角率都较反交为低,在获得杂种种子和杂种植株上明显优于反交。约2/3的甘蓝型油菜×埃塞俄比亚芥低生活力杂种种子在组织培养条件下能萌发形成植株,反交的萌发率几乎为零。甘蓝型油菜×埃塞俄比亚芥的F_1植株能与甘蓝型油菜回交,与埃塞俄比亚芥回交不亲和。由于种间杂种F_1植株群体中常出现大量的母型植株,且获得的真杂种种子出苗率又很低,因此提出以F_1杂种植株数为基准的可交配指数来衡量种间可交配性高低。     

Crossability relationships among wild potato species with different ploidies and Endosperm Balance Numbers (EBN)

Three wild potato species with different ploidies and Endosperm Balance Numbers (EBN) were crossed in a complete diallel design and the development of the embryo and endosperm as well as the type of seeds produced were analyzed. The compatible crosses – intraspecific intra-EBN and interspecific intra-EBN – produced more than 89% plump seeds, whereas in the incompatible crosses – intraspecific inter-EBN and interspecific inter-EBN – more than 85% of the seeds were not as well developed or were shrunken. The histological analysis revealed that inviable seeds had less developed or collapsed endosperms and thicker endotheliums than viable ones. A gradation of crossabilities was observed among species. The self-compatible species Solanum acaule had good performance as a female but not as a male parent. Among the self-incompatible species, Solanum gourlayi was the best male parent but had a poor performance as a female, whereas Solanum commersonii had an intermediate behavior. Differences in crossabilities among genotypes within species were also observed. These results can not be solely explained by the EBN hypothesis. It is, therefore, suggested that the EBN may be part of a more complex system of interspecific barriers acting at the pre- and post-zygotic levels.

Assignment of Endosperm Balance Numbers to the tuber-bearing Solanums and their close non-tuber-bearing relatives

The Endosperm Balance Number (EBN) of over 80 species and subspecies of the tuber-bearing Solanums and their close non-tuber-bearing relatives representing 13 taxonomic series has been determined, with no species assigned to more than one EBN level. Among North American species, most diploids are 1EBN, most tetraploids are 2EBN and all hexaploids are 4EBN; however, among South American species most diploids are 2EBN, most tetraploids are 4EBN and again all hexaploids are 4EBN. Thus species may be isolated from others of the same ploidy level by EBN differences, e.g., 4×(2EBN) from 4×(4EBN), while other species differing in ploidy but having the same EBN may be intercrossed, e.g., 4×(2EBN) and 2×(2EBN). Chromosome doubling or 2n gametes can be used to make a lower EBN species compatible with a higher EBN species. These findings also explain the major crossing difficulties previously inherent in the use of North American species in potato improvement. They also have direct implications for potato improvement, barring the occurrence of other incompatibility barriers. Any 4×(4EBN) cultivar is endosperm compatible and thus will cross with 4×(4EBN) and 6×(4EBN) species. The 2×(2EBN) haploids of 4×(4EBN) cultivars likewise will hybridize with 2×(2EBN) and 4×(4EBN) species. All 2×(1EBN) species are crossable with 2×(2EBN) haploids through 2n gametes or chromosome doubling.Cooperative investigation of the U.S. Department of Agriculture, Agriculture Research Service, and the Wisconsin Experiment Station.     

Crossability percentages of bread wheat landraces from Sichuan Province,China with rye

Summary The crossabilities of 177 landraces of wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) from Sichuan Basin and its adjacent mountain ranges with rye (Secale cereale L.) have been tested. 16 landraces possess a higher crossability than Chinese Spring, 34 landraces have a similar and 127 landraces have a lower crossability than Chinese Spring or are non-crossable with rye. Most landraces with high crossability occur in Qinling Mountain and Dabashan Mountain Ranges in north of Sichuan and the valleys of Minjiang River, Fujiang River and Jialinjiang River in Sichuan Basin.     

Studies on Low Crossabilities Encountered with the Hordeum bulbosum Method for Haploid Production of Barley, Hordeum vulgare L.

Crosses were made between four spring barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) cultivars and five F₁, hybrids with one genotype of Hordeum bulbosum L. in two locations to investigate further previous low crossabilities which had been found in the barley cultivar ‘Apex’ with H. bulbosum. Data at all the main steps of the H. bulbosum technique were recorded and statistically analyzed. Significant differences between barley genotypes were demonstrated for all characters. It was confirmed that ‘Apex’ has poor crossability with H. bulbosum. Out of the three F₁ hybrids having ‘Apex’ as one parent, two exhibited low crossability similarly to ‘Apex’ but one showed significantly higher seed setting than ‘Apex’. The effect of the location was only significant on seed setting, while genotype X location interactions were significant on seed setting, seed quality and rate of haploid plants in relation 10 florets pollinated. Another problem which has influenced the success rate of the H. bulbosum method was found in the cultivar ‘Havilla’. Although seed setting and seed quality were high for this cultivar, embryo differentiation was low. However, this latter problem was found to influence less the overall success rate than poor crossability. Mahalanobis's distances were calculated and the dendrite of the shortest distances between barley genotypes was plotted.     

Crossability relationships of andean potato varieties of three ploidy levels

Summary The formation of triploids in 4x×2x crosses was studied in primitive potato varieties from the Andes of Peru and Bolivia. Triploid frequencies were as high as 80–100% in some crosses, although the actual number of seeds was low. The triploid block varied according to the tetraploid parent, and was never entirely absent. The likelihood of triploid formation was studied in 4x×2x crosses where pollen from both tetraploids and diploids of known genotype was used. Even though the diploids were chosen for their non-production of 2n gametes, as detected in pollen grain size, 66% of the hybrids were tetraploid. The amount and probability of gene-flow between the tetraploid and diploid gene-pools, either directly through 2n gametes or through triploid bridges was examined. Most of the 20 cultivars of S. x chaucha produced seed in crosses with tetraploids and diploids, although the fertility of the latter crosses was four times higher. The female fertility of some of the triploids thus allows them to exchange genes with the tetraploids and diploids, although gene-flow occurs more rapidly through direct transfer from diploids to tetraploids via 2n gametes.     

Effects of Wheat Chromosome 1D Telosomes on Hybrid Seed Development in Wheat × Rye Crosses

Pollination of ‘Chinese Spring,’ monosome 1D plants with rye results in failure of hybrid seed development in a proportion of the F₁ seeds corresponding to the transmission rate of the nullisomic 1D egg cells. Development and viability of these hybrid seeds closely resemble that normally observed in T. aurum× rye crosses. Using ‘Chinese Spring’ chromosome ID telosomic plants in crosses with rye, it was possible to illustrate that the observed effect was associated with the long arm of this chromosome.
