水稻杂种一代与亲本幼苗基因表达差异的分析

杂种优势是一种普遍存在的生物学现象,其形成的原因十分复杂。本世纪初,Bruce和Shull相继提出的杂种优势形成的显性互补假设和超亲优势假设至今仍作为一种理论模型而缺乏实验证实。水稻杂种优势的利用自70年代三系配套技术建立得到了广泛的应用,但水稻杂种优势形成的遗传学基础目前还知之甚少。在水稻杂种优势形成机理研究中,分别从生理生化代谢、同工酶分析、DNA限制性片段多态性和DNA含量差异进行了分析,但杂种优势形成的分子机理仍未得到阐明。杂种优势的形成是与异质化相关的过程,它涉及到两个遗传背景不同的体系的相互作用。因此,在相互作用过程中,亲本基因的表达与调控就决定了杂种一代的基因表达类型和特性。因此,我们从分析基因表达与调控入手,运用mRNA差异展示技术分析了玉米杂种一代与亲本基因表达的差异,揭示了不少有意义的现象。本研究以水稻籼型杂交组合(汕优63:珍汕97A×明恢63)为材料,探讨水稻杂种一代与亲本基因表达的差异,揭示了杂种优势形成过程中的一些重要现象。     

Segmental allotetraploidy and allelic interactions in buffelgrass (Pennisetum ciliare (L.) Link syn. Cenchrus ciliaris L.) as revealed by genome mapping.

Linkage analyses increasingly complement cytological and traditional plant breeding techniques by providing valuable information regarding genome organization and transmission genetics of complex polyploid species. This study reports a genome map of buffelgrass (Pennisetum ciliare (L.) Link syn. Cenchrus ciliaris L.). Maternal and paternal maps were constructed with restriction fragment length polymorphisms (RFLPs) segregating in 87 F1 progeny from an intraspecific cross between two heterozygous genotypes. A survey of 862 heterologous cDNAs and gDNAs from across the Poaceae, as well as 443 buffelgrass cDNAs, yielded 100 and 360 polymorphic probes, respectively. The maternal map included 322 RFLPs, 47 linkage groups, and 3464 cM, whereas the paternal map contained 245 RFLPs, 42 linkage groups, and 2757 cM. Approximately 70 to 80% of the buffelgrass genome was covered, and the average marker spacing was 10.8 and 11.3 cM on the respective maps. Preferential pairing was indicated between many linkage groups, which supports cytological reports that buffelgrass is a segmental allotetraploid. More preferential pairing (disomy) was found in the maternal than paternal parent across linkage groups (55 vs. 38%) and loci (48 vs. 15%). Comparison of interval lengths in 15 allelic bridges indicated significantly less meiotic recombination in paternal gametes. Allelic interactions were detected in four regions of the maternal map and were absent in the paternal map.     

Exceptional paternal inheritance of plastids in Arabidopsis suggests that low-frequency leakage of plastids via pollen may be universal in plants

Plastid DNA is absent in pollen or sperm cells of Arabidopsis thaliana. Accordingly, plastids and mitochondria, in a standard genetic cross, are transmitted to the seed progeny by the maternal parent only. Our objective was to test whether paternal plastids are transmitted by pollen as an exception. The maternal parent in our cross was a nuclear male sterile (ms1-1/ms1-1), spectinomycin-sensitive Ler plant. It was fertilized with pollen of a male fertile RLD-Spc1 plant carrying a plastid-encoded spectinomycin resistance mutation. Seedlings with paternal plastids were selected by spectinomycin resistance encoded in the paternal plastid DNA. Our data, in general, support maternal inheritance of plastids in A. thaliana. However, we report that paternal plastids are transmitted to the seed progeny in Arabidopsis at a low (3.9 x 10(-5)) frequency. This observation extends previous reports in Antirrhinum majus, Epilobium hirsutum, Nicotiana tabacum, Petunia hybrida, and the cereal crop Setaria italica to a cruciferous species suggesting that low-frequency paternal leakage of plastids via pollen may be universal in plants previously thought to exhibit strict maternal plastid inheritance. The genetic tools employed here will facilitate testing the effect of Arabidopsis nuclear mutations on plastid inheritance and allow for the design of mutant screens to identify nuclear genes controlling plastid inheritance.     

<Emphasis Type="Italic">Agrobacterium tumefaciens</Emphasis>-mediated transformation of <Emphasis Type="Italic">Festuca arundinacea</Emphasis> (Schreb.) and <Emphasis Type="Italic">Lolium multiflorum</Emphasis> (Lam.)

Agrobacterium tumefaciens strain LBA4404 carrying plasmid pTOK233 encoding the hygromycin resistance (hph) and beta-glucuronidase (uidA) genes has been used to transform two agronomic grass species: tall fescue (Festuca arundinacea) and Italian ryegrass (Lolium multiflorum). Embryogenic cell suspension colonies or young embryogenic calli were co-cultured with Agrobacterium in the presence of acetosyringone. Colonies were grown under hygromycin selection with cefotaxime and surviving colonies plated on embryogenesis media. Eight Lolium (six independent lines) and two Festuca plants (independent lines) were regenerated and established in soil. All plants were hygromycin-resistant, but histochemical determination of GUS activity showed that only one Festuca plant and one Lolium plant expressed GUS. Three GUS-negative transgenic L. multiflorum and the two F. arundinacea plants were vernalised and allowed to flower. All three Lolium plants were male- and female-fertile, but the Festuca plants failed to produce seed. Progeny analysis of L. multiflorum showed a 24-68% inheritance of the hph and uidA genes in the three lines with no significant difference between paternal and maternal gene transmission. However, significant differences were noted between the paternal and maternal expression of hygromycin resistance.     

Inheritance of organelle DNA sequences in a citrus-poncirus intergeneric cross

Many land plants deviate from the maternal pattern of organelle inheritance. In this study, heterologous mitochondrial and chloroplast probes were used to investigate the inheritance of organelle genomes in the progeny of an intergeneric cross. The seed parent was LB 1-18 (a hybrid of Citrus reticulata Blanco cv. Clementine x C. paradisi Macf. cv. Duncan) and the pollen parent was the cross-compatible species Poncirus trifoliata (L.) Raf. All 26 progeny examined exhibited maternal inheritance of plastid petA and petD loci. However, 17 of the 26 progeny exhibited an apparent biparental inheritance of mitochondrial atpA, cob, coxII, and coxIII restriction fragment length polymorphisms (RFLPs) and maternal inheritance of mitochondrial rrn26 and coxI RFLPs. The remaining nine progeny inherited only maternal mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) configurations. Investigations of plant mitochondrial genome inheritance are complicated by the multipartite structure of this genome, nuclear gene control over mitochondrial genome organization, and transfer of mitochondrial sequences to the nucleus. In this study, paternal mtDNA configurations were not detected in purified mtDNA of progeny plants, but were present in progeny DNA preparations enriched for nuclear genome sequences. MtDNA sequences in the nuclear genome therefore produced an inheritance pattern that mimics biparental inheritance of mtDNA.     

Anthraquinones and β-polysaccharides content and distribution in Aloe plants grown under different light intensities

The curative and therapeutic effects of Aloe plants have mostly been ascribed to anthraquinones such as aloin, and to some characteristic β-polysaccharides. Although the actual concentration of these bioactives in Aloe plants has not yet been fully clarified, it was expected that plant species, age and growth conditions would play an important role. The aim of this work was to investigate the relationship between species, light intensity and the content of bioactives in Aloe arborescens Mill. and Aloe vera (L.) Burm.f.Aloin was determined by liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry: Its concentration was higher in the leaves of younger plants and there was more in A. vera than in A. arborescens. The content of β-polysaccharides was determined colorimetrically after binding with Congo Red dye. The results were not affected by plant age, and concentrations were higher in A. vera than in A. arborescens.Finally, even though the type of tunnel (and therefore light spectrum) under which plants were grown seemed to have no effect on the content of bioactives, the plants grown under reduced light intensities had significantly lower aloin and β-polysaccharides concentrations.     

The identification of quantitative trait loci that control the paternal inheritance of a mitochondrial plasmid in rapeseed (Brassica napus L.)

Some varieties of Brassica napus (rapeseed) and B. rapa contain a liner mitochondrial plasmid that is unique in that it can be inherited from the male parent through the pollen. We found that two rapeseed cultivars, Norin 16 and Westar, showed different rates of plasmid inheritance from the paternal parent (78.8% and 27.5%, respectively). To identify nuclear genes controlling the inheritance of the plasmid, we carried out quantitative trait locus (QTL) analyses using F(2) populations derived from a cross between these two cultivars. The F1 plants transmitted the plasmid from the paternal plant at a frequency of approximately 60%; the transmission rates of the F2 lines varied greatly, from 0 to 100%, with an average of 68.2%. A genetic map was constructed based on the segregation of 175 loci in the 102 F2 plants. A total of 22 linkage groups were obtained, all of which could be assigned to the 19 rapeseed chromosomes. The total map length was 1374.7 cM, with an average distance of 7.9 cM between the markers. We found that three quantitative trait loci for plasmid paternal transfer, qPpt1, qPpt2 and qPpt3, located on chromosomes A5, C2 and C9, respectively, were significantly linked to the transmission frequency, whose the logarithm of odds (LOD) score were 4.97, 3.49 and 3.57, respectively. Their explained phenotypic variances were 25.0%, 22.2% and 37.1%, respectively. These results suggest that the paternal inheritance of the mitochondrial plasmid is controlled by a relatively small number of nuclear genes.
