棉属栽培种与野生种杂交的不亲和性

本文研究了棉属栽培种与野生种杂交的不亲和性,试验材料涉及5个染色体组,包括2个栽培种(陆地棉和中棉)和5个野生种(戴维逊氏棉、瑟伯氏棉、三裂棉、阿拉伯棉和比克氏棉)。以陆地棉作母本,异己花粉管在花柱中生长缓慢,有花粉管胚珠低于10%,陆地棉×戴维逊氏棉杂种胚在子叶期坏死。以中棉作母本,不亲和性主要表现在受精后的胚胎发育过程中。     

陆地棉-野生比克氏棉杂种红花种质系的育成

采用种间杂交新技术,得到了陆地棉×野生比克氏棉的F_1不育株,在嫁接教养及短日凉爽条件下培育,雌雄恢复了低育性,通过3次回交及对早期剧烈分离世代的选择之后,首次育成了兼具双亲特征,即既有比克氏棉的红花紫花斑及细强纤维,又有陆地棉的株型、熟期、白绒、高衣分和结铃性的稳定的杂种选系,命名为“HB红花系”,这是一种前所未有的新型种质资源,具有新品种选育及遗传研究的重要价值.     

野生棉与栽培棉种间杂交胚珠离体培养的胚胎发育研究

以陆地棉(Gossypium hirsutum L.)做母本,野生的瑟伯氏棉(Gossypium thurberi Tod)和克劳茨基棉(Gossypium klotzschianum Anderss.)做父本,并以陆地棉自交为对照,取杂交授粉后两天的胚珠进行离体培养,研究胚胎发育。在培养条件下,三种遗传型合子启动的时间不一致,而且胚乳的发育也存在差异。珠心和胚囊腔的生长变化在有胚胚珠和无胚胚珠之间,存在明显的不同。球形胚时期,是杂种胚能否正常发育的关键时期。离体培养,改变了自然杂种状态的胚和胚乳以及胚和母体组织的不协调关系,因此产生了较多的杂种胚。     

亚洲棉与比克氏棉杂交的研究

观察分析了亚洲棉×比克氏棉杂种后代的形态表现及减数分裂行为。结果表明,野生比克氏棉的形态性状遗传传递力较强,F_1在中期Ⅰ的染色体构型为15.14Ⅰ+5.29Ⅱ,二价体的平均交叉数为1.07;F_2的染色体构型为2.55Ⅰ+24.5Ⅱ+0.15 Ⅲ,二价体交叉数为1.83。F_2的开花习性表现异常,完全自花受精将有利于后代性状的快速稳定。F_2中分离出无腺体的植株,为将“油腺延缓形成”特性转育到栽培种提供了可能。     

棉属种间杂交胚珠的离体培养

棉属(Gossypium)的种间杂交是育种的重要手段之一。通过种间杂交,可将棉属中某些种,尤其是野生种和半野生种的优良特性引入生产上栽培的种,从而创造人们所需要的品质好、抗逆性强的新类型或新品型。这是长期以来育种工作者的愿望。同时,棉属的种间杂交对创造雄性不育系,探索棉属的分类与进化以及对于遗传育种理论的研究都有重要意义。然而,棉属的种间杂交也和其它一些植物一样存在着杂交亲本的不亲和性和杂种后代的不育性。根据胚胎学     

激光和高压静电场对草莓种间杂交不亲和性的影响

以明晶等４个栽培品种及森林草莓、黄毛草莓和弗州草莓等３个野生种和类型为试材进行了该项研究。结果表明,用适宜剂量的激光和高压静电场处理父本野生草莓花粉可以克服草莓种间杂交不亲和性,显著提高座果率、杂种率和交配率,从而获得较多新的草莓种质资源。     

几种猕猴桃种间杂交亲和性的探讨

以中华猕猴桃、毛花猕猴桃、美味猕猴桃及阔叶猕猴桃进行种间杂交,结果表明:各杂交组合的座果率与对照组一样,均为100％;父本花粉萌发率与对照组相近,其杂交当代果实重量、种子数量及种子千粒重也与对照组相近;相同的母本,其当代杂交果实的重量及种子数量与父本花粉萌发率的高低成正比。这不但说明了各杂交组合所采用亲本之间的亲和性,而且为生产上利用不同种生活力强的猕猴桃雄株花粉进行人工辅助授粉提供依据。     

陆地棉与斯特提棉的种间杂种及其色素腺体性状的遗传研究

用陆地棉（G．hirsutumL,AD染色体组;2n＝52）的不同色素腺体基因型与澳洲野生二倍体斯特提棉（G．sturtianumWillis;C染色体组,2n＝26）进行种间杂交,得到4个带不同色素腺体基因的（陆地棉×斯特提棉）F1种间杂种。种间杂种植株总体性状介于两个棉种之间,全株光滑无毛,表皮上有一层较薄的蜡质层,花大,深红色。不同色素腺体基因对种间杂种种子和F1植株色素腺体性状有较大的影响,其中gl2gl2gl3gl3和Gl2Gl2gl3gl3与斯特提棉杂交产生的种间杂种具有种子无色素腺体而植株有色素腺体的特性,只是用gl2gl2gl3gl3配制的种间杂种F1植株的色素腺体较一般有色素腺体陆地棉显著稀少。用gl2gl2Gl3Gl3和Gl2Gl2Gl3Gl3配制的种间杂种种子和F1植株均有色素腺体。研究结果初步表明,控制斯特提棉的子叶色素腺体延缓形成性状的基因对陆地棉无色素腺体基因（gl2gl2gl3gl3）和有色素腺体基因之一（Gl2Gl2）为显性上位,对陆地棉另一有色素腺体基因（Gl3Gl3）为隐性上位。     

野黄瓜(Cucumis hystrix Chakr.)与3种不同基因型栽培黄瓜(C.sativus L)

野黄瓜(Cucum is hystrix,2n=24)为短日照植物,因其与栽培黄瓜(C.sativus,2n=14)花期不遇等杂交障碍的存在而使种间杂交难以顺利进行。对野黄瓜短光照处理40 d以上,使得两者花期相遇,成功地进行了野黄瓜与3种不同基因型栽培黄瓜(“二早子”、“长春密刺”和“NC4406”)的正反杂交,从中获得了3种杂交组合的幼胚。采用改良的方法对这3种基因型杂种胚进行胚胎拯救,再生频率达80%以上,其杂种的真实性通过植物学性状观察、体细胞染色体计数和天冬氨酸转氨酶(AAT)同工酶分析得到了证实。研究中还发现不同基因型杂种F1的育性存在明显差异,其中以C.hystrixדNC4406”育性最高,花粉可染率达23.3%,是在二倍体水平上进行育种利用的良好材料。     

Interspecific hybridization between Vigna radiata (L.) Wilczek and V. glabrescens

Summary Interspecific hybrids of the mungbean, Vigna radiata (L.) Wilczek (2n=22) and V. glabrescens (2n=44) were generated with the aid of embryo culture. V. glabrescens x V. radiata hybrids were recovered via germination of the immature embryos. Reciprocal hybrids were obtained via shoot formation from embryonic callus. The authenticity of the hybrids was determined by morphological characteristics, chromosome number, and isozyme patterns. The hybrids were highly sterile upon selfing, but backcrossing to the diploid parent yielded viable seeds. Some of the plants resembled the diploid parent morphologically while others resembled neither parent. The backcross plants were sufficiently fertile to give a large number of mature, selfed seeds. Plants obtained differed morphologically and in their isozyme patterns from either parent, indicating introgression. These progeny populations will be used as bridging materials to transfer pest resistance from the wild tetraploid to the cultivated mungbean.     

Genetics of allozyme variation in Gossypium arboreum L. and Gossypium herbaceum L. (Malvaceae)

Summary Seed protein extracts from 90 accessions of Gossypium arboreum and 70 accessions of Gossypium herbaceum were electrophoretically analyzed for isozyme variation. Eighteen enzyme systems were resolved, ten of which were polymorphic among accessions. No within accession isozyme variation was observed within these highly inbred lines. A minimum of 24 genes encode the isozymes resolved and data is presented for codominant inheritance at 13 loci. Tests for non-random joint segregation in 63 of the 78 possible two-locus combinations from the 13 characterized loci give evidence for four pairs of linked genes (Lap2/Me1 [r=0.160+/-0.027], Lap2/Pgi1 [r= 0.285+/-0.055], Mdh6/Tpi1 [r= 0.197+/-0.028], and 6Pgd2/6Pgd3[r 0.000]. Numerous presumptive duplicate isozyme loci were observed and these were usually expressed as patterns of nonsegregating heteromultimers within accessions. Single gene expression was also observed at several loci. The observed results are in agreement with those of previous cytological investigations which have proposed the polyploid origin of the diploid Old World Gossypiums.     

Evaluation of Cotton Leaf Curl Virus Resistance in BC1, BC2, and BC3 Progenies from an Interspecific Cross between Gossypium arboreum and Gossypium hirsutum

Cotton leaf curl virus disease (CLCuD) is an important constraint to cotton production. The resistance of G. arboreum to this devastating disease is well documented. In the present investigation, we explored the possibility of transferring genes for resistance to CLCuD from G. arboreum (2n = 26) cv 15-Mollisoni into G. hirsutum (2n = 52) cv CRSM-38 through conventional breeding. We investigated the cytology of the BC₁ to BC₃ progenies of direct and reciprocal crosses of G. arboreum and G. hirsutum and evaluated their resistance to CLCuD. The F₁ progenies were completely resistant to this disease, while a decrease in resistance was observed in all backcross generations. As backcrossing progressed, the disease incidence increased in BC₁ (1.7–2.0%), BC₂ (1.8–4.0%), and BC₃ (4.2–7.0%). However, the disease incidence was much lower than that of the check variety CIM-496, with a CLCuD incidence of 96%. Additionally, the disease incidence percentage was lower in the direct cross 2(G. arboreum)×G. hirsutum than in that of G. hirsutum×G. arboreum. Phenotypic resemblance of BC₁ ∼BC₃ progenies to G. arboreum confirmed the success of cross between the two species. Cytological studies of CLCuD-resistant plants revealed that the frequency of univalents and multivalents was high in BC₁, with sterile or partially fertile plants, but low in BC₂ (in both combinations), with shy bearing plants. In BC₃, most of the plants exhibited normal bearing ability due to the high frequency of chromosome associations (bivalents). The assessment of CLCuD through grafting showed that the BC₁ to BC₃ progenies were highly resistant to this disease. Thus, this study successfully demonstrates the possibility of introgressing CLCuD resistance genes from G. arboreum to G. hirsutum.     

In vitro attempts to overcome the cross-incompatibility between Vaccinium corymbosum L. and V. elliottii Chapm.

Summary Seed was readily obtained from V. corymbosum zygotes using embryo rescue techniques, even when embryos were cultured at proembryonic stages. Best in vitro seed development was obtained when ovules were cultured attached to placental tissues. Successful fruit and seed development in culture occurred only when the fruit was cut longitudinally or when the basal portion of the fruit was removed previous to plating. Addition of various vitamins, amino acids, and growth regulators to the nutrient medium did not increase seed production. Attempts to rescue hybrid embryos from V. croymbosum (tetraploid) x V. elliottii (diploid) crosses by in ovulo and in ovary culture gave a few presumably hybrid seed, but at a rate no greater than when normal crossing procedures are used.Florida Agricultural Experiment Station Journal Series No. 5748

Interspecific hybridization of phaseolus vulgaris with P. lunatus and P. acutifolius

Summary The influence of genotypic combinations on the growth of hybrid embryos between Phaseolus vulgaris and P. lunatus, and between P. vulgaris and P. acutifolius was examined. All embryos obtained from P. vulgaris × P. lunatus crosses developed only to a stage which appears to be comparable to the pre-heart-shape stage of selfed embryos. Reciprocal crosses were attempted, but pods abscised at a very early stage. Embryos derived from P. vulgaris × P. acutifolius and reciprocal crosses attained the cotyledon stage although no mature seeds were formed. A distinct characteristic of these embryos was the uneven development of the two cotyledons. The rate of growth and final size of these hybrid embryos seemed to be influenced by the genotypes of both parents.Immature embryos were cultured on defined medium and the effects of glutamine and gibberellin (GA₃) were examined. Glutamine was effective in increasing the survival rate; gibberellin had no apparent effect. Plants derived from cultured embryos of P. vulgaris × P. lunatus, P. vulgaris × P. acutifolius and P. acutifolius × P. vulgaris were obtained.Technical paper No. 00 of the Oregon Agricultural Experiment Station.

Interspecific hybrids between Brassica napus L. and B. oleracea L. developed by embryo culture

Summary Interspecific hybrids between Brassica napus and B. oleracea are difficult to produce, and previous attempts to transfer economic characters from one species to the other have largely been unsuccessful. In these studies, oilseed rape cv. Tower (2n38) (B. napus) was crossed with broccoli and kale (2n18) (B. oleracea), and hybrid plants were developed from embryos in culture by either organogenesis or somatic embryogenesis. In rape × broccoli, F₁ plants were regenerated from hybrid embryos and the plants produced viable selfed seeds. F₅ plants (2n38) homozygous for white flower colour were selected for high oil content (47%) and Line 15; a selection from these plants produced fertile hybrids with rape, broccoli and kale without embryo culture. In reciprocal crosses between oilseed rape cv. Tower and an aphid resistant diploid kale, 28 and 56 chromosome F₁ hybrid plants were regenerated from somatic embryos. The 56 chromosome plants were self-fertile and it was concluded from F₂ segregation ratios that a single dominant gene controls resistance to cabbage aphid in kale. The 28 chromosome F₁'s were self-sterile, but these and the 56 chromosome F₁'s could be backcrossed to rape and kale. A cross between the F₁ (2n56) and a forage rape resulted in the selection of a cabbage aphid (Brevicoryne brassicae L.) resistant line (Line 3). Both Line 15 and Line 3 can serve as bridges for gene interchange between B. campestris, B. napus and B. oleracea, which has not been possible hitherto. Hybridisations between rape and tetraploid kale produced F₁ plants with 37 chromosomes. One F₂ plant possessed coronal scales and the inheritance was shown to be controlled by a single recessive gene unlinked to petal colour.This paper is dedicated to Mr. T. P. Palmer, a colleague and close friend who retired from the DSIR as Assistant Director of the Crop Research Division in September 1984
