筛选31条谱带清晰、多态性强及重复性好的10 bp引物, 运用RAPD技术对以异源四倍体柑橘体细胞杂种(哈姆林甜橙(Citrus sinensis Osbeck)+粗柠檬(C. jambhiri Luss))为父本与二倍体单胚类型宜本杂4号(华农本地早橘(C. reticulataBlanco)×宜昌橙(C. ichangensis Swingle))杂交获得的杂种后代进行遗传分析. χ₂测验表明: 杂交父本与母本的特异标记总体上是随机传递给后代的, 父本即柑橘异源四倍体体细胞杂种融合双亲的单个特异标记也是随机传递给后代的. 通过组群平均数假设测验, 二倍体组群与三倍体组群间各类亲本标记的平均数不存在显著差异. 基于遗传距离的聚类结果显示: 杂种后代聚为3类: 第1类与融合亲本之一哈姆林甜橙聚为一类, 有15株杂种后代; 第2类与母本宜本杂4号聚为一类, 有16株杂种后代; 第3类与父本体细胞杂种(哈姆林甜橙+粗柠檬)聚为一类, 有61株杂种植株, 大多数杂种后代与父本的遗传关系更为密切.     

柑桔种间体细胞杂种的花粉特性及贮藏研究

黑芥与花椰菜体细胞杂种花粉母细胞的减数分裂不同步及染色体行为异常

本研究对黑芥与花椰菜体细胞杂种及其双亲的花粉母细胞减数分裂行为进行了观察和比较,结果表明黑芥与花椰菜的花粉母细胞减数分裂同步性很高,而其体细胞杂种表现出明显的减数分裂不同步,各杂种不同株系间减数分裂不同步的程度与跨度各异.减数分裂不同步发生是由于为部分花粉母细胞在减数分裂某一时期发生停滞或推迟,这一时期(或第一个停滞时期)主要发生在第一次减数分裂的前期.花粉母细胞发育虽不同步,但最后均完成减数分裂形成花粉粒,所形成的花粉粒的活性相差甚远.此外,研究结果还显示,体细胞杂种有着较高的减数分裂染色体行为异常频率,尤其是在中期Ⅰ后.主要表现为减数分裂中期Ⅰ的染色体的早迁、后期Ⅰ和后期Ⅱ的染色体滞后及染色体不均等分离、四分体时期的异常等现象.花粉粒的活性与减数分裂时期染色体行为异常程度有关,染色体行为异常及微核现象出现的频率越高,相对的花粉粒活力也越低.

柑橘体细胞杂种有性后代的创造及杂种鉴定

110 plantlets were obtained from the cross between citrus allotetraploid somatic hybrid [Hamlin sweet orange (Citrus sinensis Osback) + Rough Lemon (C. jambhiri Luss)] (as the pollen parent) and mono-embryonic diploid type Iben No.4 [Huanongbendizao tangerine (C. reticulata Blanco) x Ichang papeda (C. ichangensis Swingle)] by the means of young embryo culture in vitro, and there were 93 triploids and 17 diploids through chromosome counting and the ploidy analyser identification. RAPD analyses showed that all sexual progenies were hybrid.     

RAPD-based genetic analysis of offsprings from the sexual cross using allotetraploid citrus somatic hybrid as pollen parent

Thirty-one polymorphic decamer primers were selected to genotype 92 progenies from the cross between Yiben No.4, a monoembryonic diploid F₁ hybrid of Citrus reticulata Blanco cv Huanongbendizao tangerine and C. ichangensis Swingle, and [Hamlin sweet orange + Rough lemon], an allotetraploid somatic hybrid of Citrus sinensis Osbeck cv. Hamlin and C. jambhiri Lush cv. Rough Lemon. χ² (Chi-square) analysis of RAPD markers in the progenies indicated they were randomly transmitted from the four donor parents, without significant difference between the diploids and triploids. However, these progenies were clustered into three major groups using dendrogram constructed by UPGMA, skewed to three parents in certain degrees, 15 (13 triploids and 2 diploids) to Hamlin, 16 (9 and 7) to Yiben No. 4, and 61 (57 and 4) to [Hamlin sweet orange + Rough Lemon] from which genomic contribution was predominant in progenies, respectively.

粗柠檬与哈姆林甜橙二倍体体细胞杂种胞质基因组初步分析

RFLP (restriction fragment length polymorphism) was employed to analyze cytoplasmic genome of diploid somatic hybrid plant, morphologically similar to rough lemon which was leaf parent, that was produced via protoplast fusion between rough lemon (Citrus jambhiri Lush) and Hamlin sweet orange (C. sinensis Osb.), the embryogenic parent. Three enzyme-mitocondrial probe combinations and one enzyme-chloroplast probe combination demonstrated that the plant had identical band profiles to Hamlin sweet orange as far as mtDNA and cpDNA were concerned.     

Regeneration and Characterization of Plants Derived from Asymmetric Protoplast Fusion in Citrus

RFLP (restriction fragment length polymorphism) was employed to analyze cytoplasmic genome of diploid somatic hybrid plant, morphologically similar to rough lemon which was leaf parent, that was produced via protoplast fusion between rough lemon (Citrus jambhiri Lush) and Hamlin sweet orange (C. sinensis Osb.), the embryogenic parent. Three enzyme-mitocondrial probe combinations and one enzyme-chloroplast probe combination demonstrated that the plant had identical band profiles to Hamlin sweet orange as far as mtDNA and cpDNA were concerned.     

Regeneration and characterization of somatic hybrids combining sweet orange and mandarin/mandarin hybrid cultivars for citrus scion improvement

Protoplast fusion between sweet orange and mandarin/mandarin hybrids scion cultivars was performed following the model ??diploid embryogenic callus protoplast?+?diploid mesophyll-derived protoplast??. Protoplasts were isolated from embryogenic calli of ??Pera?? and ??Westin?? sweet orange cultivars (Citrus sinensis) and from young leaves of ??Fremont??, Nules??, and ??Thomas?? mandarins (C. reticulata), and ??Nova?? tangelo [C. reticulata?×?(C. paradisi?×?C. reticulata)]. The regenerated plants were characterized based on their leaf morphology (thickness), ploidy level, and simple sequence repeat (SSR) molecular markers. Plants were successfully generated only when ??Pera?? sweet orange was used as the embryogenic parent. Fifteen plants were regenerated being 7 tetraploid and 8 diploid. Based on SSR molecular markers analyses all 7 tetraploid regenerated plants revealed to be allotetraploids (somatic hybrids), including 2 from the combination of ??Pera?? sweet orange?+???Fremont?? mandarin, 3 ??Pera?? sweet orange?+???Nules?? mandarin, and 2 ??Pera?? sweet orange?+???Nova?? tangelo, and all the diploid regenerated plants showed the ??Pera?? sweet orange marker profile. Somatic hybrids were inoculated with Alternaria alternata and no disease symptoms were detected 96?h post-inoculation. This hybrid material has the potential to be used as a tetraploid parent in interploid crosses for citrus scion breeding.     

Somatic embryogenesis of a seedless sweet orange (<Emphasis Type="Italic">Citrus sinensis</Emphasis> (L.) Osbeck)

Somatic embryogenesis is an important in vitro technique used to obtain Citrus sinensis (L.) Osbeck (sweet orange) plantlets for conservation, sanitation, propagation, and breeding. The induction of somatic embryogenesis from adult tissues of sweet orange could be an alternative to in vitro organogenesis from epicotyl segments, especially in seedless cultivars, where the latter is not feasible. The aim of this study was to obtain plantlets from ovary-derived somatic embryos of sweet orange cv. ‘Washington Navel’, an important seedless cultivar for citrus fresh fruit production. The explants used were pistils from flower buds, pre-anthesis, from 20-y-old plants cultivated in the field. Forty plantlets from 47 somatic embryos were obtained, in vitro-grafted, and acclimatized in greenhouse conditions. Ploidy evaluation through flow cytometric analysis, as well as the results of target region amplification polymorphism (TRAP) molecular markers confirmed the somatic origin of embryos as genetically similar to donor plants. This technique could be used for obtaining embryogenic cell suspension cultures or regenerated plants from mature tissues other than seed-derived tissues, especially for seedless genotypes.     

Improved Transformation Efficiency in Citrus by Plasmolysis Treatment

Procedures for high efficiency production of transgenic citrus plants using an Agrobacterium tumefaciens system with plasmolysis treatment were developed. Longitudinally cut epicotyl segments of eight different citrus species [’Milam’ Rough lemon (Citrus jambhiri Lush), ‘Volkamer’ lemon (Citrus volkameriana L), Rangpur lime (Citrus limonia L), ‘Hamlin’ sweet orange (Citrus sinensis L Osbeck), ‘Duncan’ grapefruit (’Citrus paradisi’ Macf), Sour orange (Citrus aurantium L), ‘Cleopatra’ mandarin (Citrus reticulata Blanco) and Carrizo citrange (Citrus sinensis L Osbeck x Poncirus trifoliata L Raf) ] were plasmolyzed in different concentrations of sucrose and maltose [0, 3, 6, 8, 9, 10, 12 % (w/v) ] prior to Agrobacterium inoculation. Plasmolyzed epicotyl explants were cocultivated with either the hypervirulent Agrobacterium tumefaciens strain, the EHA-101 (harboring a binary vector pGA482GG) or Agl-1 (carrying pCAMBIA1303 vector). Both binary vectors contained neomycin phosphotransferase II (NPT II) and β-glucuronidase (GUS) genes. The binary vector, pCAMBIA1303 also contained a fused mGFP5 gene at the 3’ end of GUS gene as a reporter. Epicotyl explants of Rangpur lime, Rough and ‘Volkamer’ lemons plasmolyzed in 9–12 % maltose showed transient GUS gene expression comprising up to 95 % of the cut surface of explants, while Carrizo citrange showed 80 % expression when they were plasmolyzed in 6–10 % sucrose. On the other hand, epicotyl explants of ‘Hamlin’ sweet orange, Grapefruit, Sour orange and ‘Cleopatra’ mandarin showed transient GUS expession in 80–90 % of explants with 6–10 % sucrose. Basal portions of the regenerated putative transgenic shoots harvested from the cut surface of epicotyl explants within 2–3 months, were assayed for GUS, and apical portions were shoot-tip grafted in vivo for the production of whole plants. The transformation efficiencies in different species obtained are the highest so far reported for citrus.
