植物体细胞无性系变异的遗传基础及主要影响因素

植物体细胞无性系变异在组织培养中是非常普遍的现象,对改良植物品种和选育新品种具有重要的意义,但同时也是植物组培在所有其它应用领域的一大难题。植物体细胞无性系变异的遗传基础包括染色体变异、转座子活化、DNA甲基化状态改变、基因突变和DNA重复序列的改变等,这些因素相互关联,不是孤立地作为体细胞无性系变异的起源。在影响体细胞无性系变异的主要因素中,外植体脱分化的细胞分裂方式、培养基的生长调节物质、培养物经受氧化胁迫水平与体细胞无性系变异有着较为密切的联系,其中外源生长素、细胞分裂素是最重要的外部影响因素。通过本综述,在减少组培过程中无性系变异方面,建议深入了解生长调节物质与体细胞无性系变异遗传基础的关系,并以此为基础尝试无性系变异防控办法。     

植物体细胞无性系变异研究进展

组织培养技术的日益成熟,使数以千计的植物通过器官或胚胎发生形成了再生植株。按照Haberlandt的细胞全能性学说,即植物的每个体细胞具有相同的遗传信息,因此人们起先认为本质是无性繁殖的组织培养所得到的再生植株应与原来植株的基因型是一致的。但是,随着有人首先注意到培养的细胞和再生植株有形态及染色体变异以来(Blakely等,1964),已有众多的报道发现植物离体培养物和再生植株会发生各种各样的变异。其中许多变异在品种改良上颇有价值,引起了研究者们的广泛兴趣。一些研究者从不同的角度对体细胞无性系变异现象作了很好的综述(Larkinand Scowcroft,1981;Orton,1983;Maliga,1984;商效民,1984;朱至清,1991)。本文结合近些年的新进展,对植物体细胞无性系变异研究领域进行较系统的评述,以丰富体细胞遗传学的内容,促进其在植物改良上应用研究的发展。     

春小麦体细胞无性系变异的研究

利用RAPD技术检测春小麦愈伤组织和再生植株在离体培养过程中产生的变异,对培养不同时期的愈伤组织、再生植株检测结果表明,在小麦离体培养愈伤组织和再生植株中,RAPD谱带发生变化,表明发生了体细胞无性系分子水平变异．且具有明显的规律性和变异特点：杂交B代幼穗培养获得的愈伤组织发生变异的频率高于遗传稳定品种幼穗培养获得的愈伤组织。在愈伤组织培养75d时,在RAPD电泳图谱反映出高频率的亲本谱带缺失和非亲本谱带增加。不同基因型或外植体诱导的愈伤组织和再生植株中出现了相同的变异。与愈伤组织相比．再生植株中检测到的变异频率更高。不同外植体离体培养获得的再生植株,即使表型上没有观察到变异,但从RAPD图谱上却反映出变异的发生。表明RAPD技术可以快建方便地检测组织培养每个阶段出现的DNA水平变异。

Phenotypic plasticity and character differentiation in a subdivided population ofIris pumila (Iridaceae)

Variation patterns in phenotypic plasticity and broad sense heritability of 26 characters were examined within and among closely adjacent habitats of the bearded iris,Iris pumila. It was found thatI. pumila has considerable differentiation for phenotypic plasticity and genetic variation over short distances. An analysis of relationships between character differentiation and phenotypic plasticity suggests that they could have evolved independently. Possible mechanisms for maintaining local differentiation of the observed plastic and genetic variation are also discussed.     

Iris bulbs express type 1 and type 2 ribosome-inactivating proteins with unusual properties

Two closely related lectins from bulbs of the Dutch iris (Iris hollandica var. Professor Blaauw) have been isolated and cloned. Both lectins, called Iris agglutinin b and Iris agglutinin r, possess N-glycosidase activity and share a high sequence similarity with previously described type 2 ribosome-inactivating proteins (RIP). However, these lectins show only 57% to 59% sequence identity to a previously characterized type 1 RIP from iris, called IRIP. The identification of the iris lectins as type 2 RIP provides unequivocal evidence for the simultaneous occurrence of type 1 and type 2 RIP in iris bulbs and allowed a detailed comparison of type 1 and type 2 RIP from a single plant, which provides further insight into the molecular evolution of RIP. Binding studies and docking experiments revealed that the lectins exhibit binding activity not only toward Gal/N-acetylgalactosamine, but also toward mannose, demonstrating for the first time that RIP-binding sites can accommodate mannose.

Hydroxyproline concentrations in ocular tissues of Arabian camel (Camelus dromedarius Linn.)

Hydroxyproline (Hyp) concentrations (total, free, peptide-bound and protein-bound) in camel eye tissues were determined. Total Hyp concentration was highest in iris, followed by ciliary body, sclera, cornea, lens and retina; the difference between total Hyp concentration of iris and sclera (P < 0.05) and cornea, lens and retina (P < 0.001) was statistically significant. Cornea had the highest concentration of free Hyp, followed by ciliary body, retina, iris, sclera and lens (P < 0.001). Peptide-bound Hyp concentration was highest in iris, followed by lens, cornea, ciliary body, retina and sclera (P < 0.001). Iris also had the highest concentration of protein-bound Hyp, followed by ciliary body, sclera, cornea, retina and lens; the difference in the protein-bound Hyp concentration between iris and sclera (P < 0.05) and cornea, retina and lens (P < 0.001) was statistically significant. Iris was also found to have the highest concentration of collagen, followed by ciliary body, sclera, cornea, lens and retina; the difference between the collagen concentration of iris and sclera (P < 0.05) and cornea, lens and retina (P < 0.001) was statistically significant. These variations may result from differences in the collagen structure and/or composition in these tissues.     

Cultivation of Iris ensata Thunb. callus tissue

A continuous callus culture was obtained from zygotic embryos of Japanese iris (Iris ensata Thunb.) on the Murashige-Skoog medium supplemented with 2 mg/l alpha-naphthylacetic acid and 0.5 mg/l 6-benzylaminopurine (BAP). It was found that a successful callusogenesis required isolated embryos at the wax stage of endosperm development. The optimal combination of phytohormones for the growth of callus tissue was 1 mg/l 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid and 0.5 mg/l BAP. The pigment composition of I. ensata callus tissue was studied. It was demonstrated that subcultivated callus tissue contained red pigments of flavonoid nature. Under stress cultivation conditions, yellow pigments were formed and the content of red pigments increased.

Telolysomes in cultured iris epithelial cells and in the TVI cell-line.

Iris epithelial cells of adult newts, which are fully differntiated melanocytes and non-dividing, become dedifferentiated and converted into lens cells when put in culture. A recent study shows that this dedifferentiation is based on an autophagic process which is associated with proliferation and mainly affects melanosomes. The present report shows that in primary culture of iris epithelial cells after the majority of melanosomes have disappeared, myelinoid bodies, which are interpreted to be telolysosomes of autophagic nature, appear in high frequencies. This suggest that in these cells autophagy persists after the loss of melanosomes. A possible connection of this type of autophagy with the differentation of lens fiber which occurs in this culture is discussed. In the TVI cell line which is believed to be derived from the same cell type, but devoid of melanosomes, similar myelinoid bodies are a characteristic cell component, suggesting that the tendency for autophagy is inherited in theis cell line.

Iris recognition as a biometric method after cataract surgery

Background

Biometric methods are security technologies, which use human characteristics for personal identification. Iris recognition systems use iris textures as unique identifiers. This paper presents an analysis of the verification of iris identities after intra-ocular procedures, when individuals were enrolled before the surgery.

Methods

Fifty-five eyes from fifty-five patients had their irises enrolled before a cataract surgery was performed. They had their irises verified three times before and three times after the procedure, and the Hamming (mathematical) distance of each identification trial was determined, in a controlled ideal biometric environment. The mathematical difference between the iris code before and after the surgery was also compared to a subjective evaluation of the iris anatomy alteration by an experienced surgeon.

Results

A correlation between visible subjective iris texture alteration and mathematical difference was verified. We found only six cases in which the eye was no more recognizable, but these eyes were later reenrolled. The main anatomical changes that were found in the new impostor eyes are described.

Conclusions

Cataract surgeries change iris textures in such a way that iris recognition systems, which perform mathematical comparisons of textural biometric features, are able to detect these changes and sometimes even discard a pre-enrolled iris considering it an impostor. In our study, re-enrollment proved to be a feasible procedure.
