Construction of EMS-Induced Peanut Mutant Libraries and Identification of Pod-Related Traits Mutant Lines

Peanut (Arachis hypogaea L.) is an oil and economic crop of vital importance, and peanut pod is the key organ influencing the yield and processing quality. Hence, the Pod-related traits (PRTs) are considered as important agronomic traits in peanut breeding. To broaden the variability of PRTs in current peanut germplasms, three elite peanut cultivars were used to construct Ethyl methane sulfonate (EMS)-induced mutant libraries in this study. The optimal EMS treatment conditions for the three peanut varieties were determined. It was found that the median lethal dose (LD50) of EMS treatment varied greatly among different genotypes. Finally, the EMS-induced peanut mutant libraries were constructed and a total of 124 mutant lines for PRTs were identified and evaluated. Furthermore, “M-8070”, one of the mutant lines for pod constriction, was re-sequenced via high-throughput sequencing technology. The genome-wide variations between “M-8070” and its wild parent “Fuhua 8” (FH 8) were detected. 2994 EMS-induced single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) and 1188 insertion-deletions (InDels) between “M-8070” and its wild parent were identified. The predominant SNP mutation type was C/G to T/A transitions, while the predominant InDel mutation type was “1-bp”. We analyzed the distribution of identified mutations and annotated their functions. Most of the mutations (91.68% of the SNPs and 77.69% of the InDels) were located in the intergenic region. 72 SNPs were identified in the exonic region, leading to 27 synonymous, 43 non-synonymous and 2 stop-gain variation for gene structure. 13 Indels were identified in the exonic region, leading to 4 frame-shift, 8 non-frame-shift and 1 stop-gain variations of genes. These mutations may lead to the phenotypic variation of “M-8070”. Our study provided valuable resources for peanut improvement and functional genomic research.     

一个水稻显性高秆突变体的遗传分析和基因定位

从水稻(Oryza sativa L.)的两个半矮秆籼稻品种6442S-7和蜀恢881杂交F2代群体中发现一个高秆突变体D111,其株高和秆长分别比亲本蜀恢881增加63.0%和87.0%.用205个微卫星标记分析D¨1及其原始亲本6442S-7和蜀恢881之间的基因组DNA多态性,结果未发现D111具有2个原始亲本都没有的新带型,证明D1¨的确是6442S-7和蜀恢881的杂交后代发生基因突变产生的.将D111分别与蜀恢881、蜀恢527、明恢63、9311、IR68、G46B等6个半矮秆品种和高秆对照品种南京6号杂交,分析F1和F2代株高的遗传行为,结果表明D1¨的高秆性状由一对显性基因控制,且该基因与南京6号的高秆基因紧密连锁或等位.以蜀恢527/D111 F2群体为定位群体,运用微卫星标记将D111显性高秆突变基因定位于水稻第一染色体长臂,与RM212、RM302和RM472的遗传距离分别是27.7 cM、25.5 cM和6.0 cM,该基因暂命名为LC(t).认为D111是首例从半矮秆品种自然突变产生的水稻显性高秆突变体,LC(t)为首次定位的水稻显性高秆突变基因.此外,将上述基因定位结果与Causse等(1994)和Temnykh等(2000,2001)发表的水稻分子连锁图谱进行比较,发现LC(t)基因恰巧位于与水稻"绿色革命基因"sd1相同或十分相近的染色体区域,因此,还就LC(t)基因与sd1基因之间的可能关系进行了讨论.     

Patterns of Cell Division,Cell Differentiation and Cell Elongation in Epidermis and Cortex of Arabidopsis pedicels in the Wild Type and in erecta

Plant organ shape and size are established during growth by a predictable, controlled sequence of cell proliferation, differentiation, and elongation. To understand the regulation and coordination of these processes, we studied the temporal behavior of epidermal and cortex cells in Arabidopsis pedicels and used computational modeling to analyze cell behavior in tissues. Pedicels offer multiple advantages for such a study, as their growth is determinate, mostly one dimensional, and epidermis differentiation is uniform along the proximodistal axis. Three developmental stages were distinguished during pedicel growth: a proliferative stage, a stomata differentiation stage, and a cell elongation stage. Throughout the first two stages pedicel growth is exponential, while during the final stage growth becomes linear and depends on flower fertilization. During the first stage, the average cell cycle duration in the cortex and during symmetric divisions of epidermal cells was constant and cells divided at a fairly specific size. We also examined the mutant of ERECTA, a gene with strong influence on pedicel growth. We demonstrate that during the first two stages of pedicel development ERECTA is important for the rate of cell growth along the proximodistal axis and for cell cycle duration in epidermis and cortex. The second function of ERECTA is to prolong the proliferative phase and inhibit premature cell differentiation in the epidermis. Comparison of epidermis development in the wild type and erecta suggests that differentiation is a synchronized event in which the stomata differentiation and the transition of pavement cells from proliferation to expansion are intimately connected.     

水稻基因APRT的克隆及其与温敏核雄性不育的关系

在拟南芥中腺嘌呤磷酸核糖转移酶基因(APRT)突变导致植株雄性不育.本文首次报道从水稻(Oryza sativa subsp.indica)中克隆了基因APRT(GenBank登录号AY238894),并将其定位于水稻第4染色体的一个BAC克隆(AL606604)的58 000 bp至63 000 bp区域.该基因长4 220 bp(起始密码子至终止密码子),含7个外显子、6个内含子,编码的APRT蛋白长212个氨基酸残基,与其他物种来源的APRT序列存在很高的同源性.与大麦、小麦、拟南芥1型及其2型的该蛋白同源性分别为54.9%、54.9%、49.6%和59.5%.经保守结构域搜索发现该蛋白中存在APRT催化结构域.从DNA、mRNA两个水平分析了该基因与水稻温敏核雄性不育(TGMS)的关系,结果表明:受温度诱导,水稻"安农S-1"APRT基因的表达变化可能与温敏核雄性不育表现型具相关性.

Pedicel development in Arabidopsis thaliana: contribution of vascular positioning and the role of the BREVIPEDICELLUS and ERECTA genes

Although the regulation of Arabidopsis floral meristem patterning and determinacy has been studied in detail, very little is known about the genetic mechanisms directing development of the pedicel, the short stem linking the flower to the inflorescence axis. Here, we provide evidence that the pedicel consists of a proximal portion derived from the young flower primordium, and a bulged distal region that emerges from tissue at the bases of sepals in the floral bud. Distal pedicel growth is controlled by the KNOTTED1-like homeobox gene BREVIPEDICELLUS (BP), as 35S::BP plants show excessive proliferation of pedicel tissue, while loss of BP conditions a radial constriction around the distal pedicel circumference. Mutant radial constrictions project proximally along abaxial and lateral sides of pedicels, leading to occasional downward bending at the distal pedicel. This effect is severely enhanced in a loss-of-function erecta (er) background, resulting in radially constricted tissue along the entire abaxial side of pedicels and downward-oriented flowers and fruit. Analysis of pedicel vascular patterns revealed biasing of vasculature towards the abaxial side, consistent with a role for BP and ER in regulating a vascular-borne growth inhibitory signal. BP expression in a reporter line marked boundaries between the inflorescence stem and lateral organs and the receptacle and floral organs. This boundary expression appears to be important to prevent homeotic displacement of node and lateral organ fates into underlying stem tissue. To investigate interactions between pedicel and flower development, we crossed bp er into various floral mutant backgrounds. Formation of laterally-oriented bends in bp lfy er pedicels paralleled phyllotaxy changes, consistent with a model where the architecture of mutant stems is controlled by both organ positioning and vasculature patterns. Collectively, our results indicate that the BP gene acts in Arabidopsis stems to confer a growth-competent state that counteracts lateral-organ associated asymmetries and effectively radializes internode and pedicel growth and differentiation patterns.     

Genetic and Phenotypic Analysis of <Emphasis Type="Italic">lax1-6</Emphasis>, a Mutant Allele of <Emphasis Type="Italic">LAX PANICLE1</Emphasis> in Rice

Proper function of the LAX1 gene is required for the development of axillary meristem in rice. Here, we report genetic and phenotypic characters of a novel recessive mutant allele of rice LAX1 gene, lax1-6, which showed abnormal panicle phenotypes with few numbers of elongated primary rachis branches. Beside typical lax mutant phenotype, abnormalities of lax1-6 mutant allele were observed with defect lemma and palea primordial in floral organs. The lax1-6 mutant locus was linked between SSR markers RM7594 and RM5389 on chromosome 1 with 1.02% and 1.0% recombination frequencies, respectively. Molecular analysis revealed that the lax1-6 mutant allele was caused by a transversion mutation of nucleotide T to G substitution that resulted in an amino acid substitution from serine (S) to alanine (A) at the 117^th position from amino terminus of a basic helix-loop-helix protein coded by LAX1 gene. Furthermore, we found that the Oryza sativa indica type cv. IRRI347 contained 24 nucleotide deletion in the upstream sequence in the LAX1 gene, but this deletion did not influence panicle morphology, which demonstrated that the deletion is a polymorphism in rice. All together, the lax1-6 mutant is a newly identified allele of LAX1 gene displaying the abnormal axillary meristems and inflorescences in rice.     

Morphological characteristics and gene mapping of a dense panicle (dp2) mutant in rice (Oryza sativa L.)

A dense panicle mutant (dp2) derived from the Oryza sativa ssp. japonica cultivar Nipponbare through ethyl methane sulfonate mutagenesis was used in present study. Compared to the wild type, the panicle of dp2 mutant exhibited more branches and denser grains. Further more, the number of spikelets per panicle, number of primary branches and secondary branches of dp2 mutant were significantly increased while the panicle length, and 1,000-grain weight were significantly decreased. The results from the genetic analysis indicated that the dense panicle phenotype was controlled by a single dominance nuclear gene. Polymorphic analysis of SSR and InDel markers demonstrated that the DP2 gene was located at the long arm of chromosome 2, which was further mapped between SSR markers RM341 and RM13356 in a physical region of 398 kb. Within this region, the RCN2 (LOC_Os02g32950) gene which was annotated relating to the development of rice panicle was found. Compared to the wild type, the sequence of RCN2 gene in the dp2 mutant showed that two SNPs replacement had taken place in the promoter region (G–A) and the intron region (A–T), respectively. The dp2 mutant could be a novel mutant of RCN2 gene and this novel mutant might be useful for further studies on this gene.
