银额果蝇的B染色体研究 2.昆明群体的生活力和B染色体的关系

本文分析了钮额果蝇的生活力和B染色体的关系。结果表明,银额果蝇的B染色体在其生长和发育过程中具双重性调节作用。一方面,B染色体以单一的形式存在于单雌系核型中,即1B或2Bs,可刺激生长、发育,增强生活力。另一方面,在单雌系的细胞中存在多条B染色体,并形成核型多态性,这似乎对生长和发育又有一定的抑制作用而减弱其生活力。     

银额果蝇自然群体分化过程中的细胞遗传学

对我国大陆银额果蝇的分布及其细胞遗传学进行了广泛的调查,发现了一种值得注意的新核型。该核型结构兼有早已认可的长、短两大类基本核型的特征,即核型中的两条同源４号染色体为１长１短型。含新核型的群体分布于我国大陆东南沿海一带的上海、福州、厦门和深圳。而且,这些自然群体内还出现“１长１短型”、“长型”和“短型”重叠并存的多态现象。跟踪研究表明,新核型具有不稳定的遗传性,能世代传递,它的频率随世代增长而降低,并不是突然消失。但是,在上海、福州群体内出现的“长型”至第十五代之后却全部消失。这种新核型大概是银额果蝇自然演化过程中的中间过渡核型,是该果蝇种群分化中的细胞遗传学变异的过渡表征     

中国银额果蝇自然群体B染色体的分布

经对我国银额果蝇自然群体Ｂ染色体（Ｂｓ）的分布进行多年广泛地调查,共作过２４个群体,５７２个单雌系,６７３８只个体的观察。从细胞和群体水平研究Ｂｓ的地理分布。结果发现,中国（除台湾省外）银额果蝇自然群体中普遍存在Ｂｓ。结合前人报道得出。Ｂｓ的地理分布出现了由东向西和由南向北的规律性的依次升高趋势。这种跨越不同地理环境的区域性梯度变异与其宿主向大陆内地扩散的推论相符。Ｂｓ频率最高（８７．７％）的是海     

银额果蝇自然群体中的mtDNA多态性研究──Ⅱ．银额果蝇的起源和分化

本文以８种限制性内切酶对８个银额果蝇群体进行了ｍｔＤＮＡ的限制性片段长度多态性（ＲＦＬＰ）分析。发现现生银额果蝇种群可以分成三个相对独立的群体,即东部、中部和西部群体。结合其它有关资料,我们推测,银额果蝇可能起源于马来半岛南部和加里曼丹岛一带。起初分成东西两支向北扩散。东支发展成现在的东部群体;西支则在中南半岛北部又分成两个支系;从而形成了现生银额果蝇群体的东部、中部和西部的地理分布模式。     

银额果蝇(Drosophila albomicans)B染色体对繁殖的影响

利用遗传背景一致的３类含有不同Ｂ染色体数目的银额果蝇（Ｄｒｏｓｏｐｈｉｌａ ａｌｂｏｍｉｃａｎｓ）品系,对繁殖的２个参数,即净繁殖量和性比进行了比较研究。结果表明Ｂ染色体对净繁殖量有着显著的影响,其影响依赖于Ｂ染色体数目的不同而不同;低数目增加其携带者的净繁殖量,而在高含量时有使其携带者净繁殖量下降的趋势。Ｂ染色体对繁殖的影响还具有一定的时间分布特征,即３类品系净繁殖量的差异主要集中在雌绳繁殖的早     

中国西南地区鹿药属4种15居群核型研究

对产于中国西南部的鹿药属（Maianthemum）4种植物进行了细胞学研究,包括染色体数目,多倍化,非整倍性和随体染色体,以及核型不对称性和核型进化。结果表明：1）除了在云南丽江采集的Maianthemum tatsienensis染色体数目为2n=72之外,其余的居群全为2n=36;2）核型在居群间存在变异,特别是在具中部染色体和近中部染色体的数目以及随体染色体的数目和位置上。此外,M．nanchuanense和M．szechuanicum的核型是首次报道,B染色体也是首次在该属中发现。我们推测鹿药属的进化方式包括频繁的染色体畸变以及不同水平上的多倍化,而中国西南部是该属的分化中心。

THE GEOGRAPHICAL DISTRIBUTION OF B-CHROMOSOMES OF XANTHISMA TEXANUM DC. (ASTERACEAE). I. SURVEY OF THE RANGE

The distribution of B-chromosomes throughout the range of Xanthisma texanum has been determined from approximately 750 individuals from 80 wild populations in Texas, Oklahoma, and New Mexico. Counts of meiotic chromosome figures of n = 4_II + 1 B_I and n = 5_II (4_II + IB_II) are reported for the first time for subsp. texanum var. texanum and for subsp. texanum var. orientalis. The wide occurrence of B-chromosomes in natural populations of subsp. drummondii is also documented. B-chromosomes are present in 22 (27.2%) randomly distributed populations whose characteristics are in no way distinct from populations without B-chromosomes. In populations with B-chromosomes present, 19.8% of the plants contained one or two B-chromosomes, but in total only 5.8 % of all plants contained one or two B-chromosomes. All populations in one isolated population group of subsp. drummondii lack B-chromosomes.     

The B-chromosome system of myrmeleotettix maculatus (thunb.)

It is established that in populations of Myrmeleotettix maculatus with B-chromosomes these chromosomes occur at stable frequencies and are present to the same extent in both the males and the females of the same population. It is also established that the B-chromosome content of a population is positively correlated with its chiasma frequency and that, within a population, individuals with single B-chromosomes tend to have higher chiasma frequencies than individuals lacking B-chromosomes. Since this effect is not increased by the addition of further supernumeraries it is argued that selection operates in favour of individuals with single B-chromosomes. Finally it is shown that the level of B-chromosomes in a population is related to temperature and especially to rainfall so that B-chromosomes are absent from populations in climatically stringent environments.     

Supernumerary chromosomes, mosaicism, and dynamics in two populations of Eastern-Asian wood mouse (Apodemus peninsulae, Rodentia) from Primorski? Krai at various seasons of the year]

Karyotypes of 47 individuals of the wood mice Apodemus peninsulae from two reserves in Primorskii krai (Kedrovaya Pad' and Ussuriiskii) were studied during spring, summer, and autumn. In each population, variation in the number of B-chromosomes (2n = 48 + 0-5B) as well as the intratissue mosaicism determined by variation of the number, size and morphology of supernumerary chromosomes were described. Animals that have one dotlike B-chromosome were first described in both populations as rare variants. Individuals that have bone-marrow cell clones with two or three B-chromosomes were found to be predominant in the populations of Primorskii krai. The number of clones varied from one to three per animal. The frequency of mosaics showed seasonal variation. In the population of the Ussuriiskii reserve, a sharp increase in the frequency of animals with a stable karyotype was detected in autumn, at the phase of increased numbers. The variation for mosaicism was suggested to correlate with the population numbers in mice and to indicate the genetic differences between generations of the population.     

Population cytology of the genus Phaulacridium

Samples were taken from twenty three Australian mainland populations of the shorthorned grasshopper, Phaulacridium vittatum. Five of these populations were found to be polymorphic for B-chromosomes. The anaphase I segregation of the B-chromosome appeared to be random with respect to the X (contra Jackson and Cheung, 1967). The B-chromosomes did not appear to influence chiasma frequency in the population in which they were found.     

The speciation history of the Drosophila nasuta complex

The Drosophila nasuta subgroup of the immigrans species group is widely distributed throughout the South-East Asian region, consisting of morphologically similar species with varying degrees of reproductive isolation. Here, I report nucleotide variability data for five X-linked and two mtDNA loci in eight taxa from the nasuta subgroup, with deeper sampling from D. albomicans and its sister species D. nasuta. Phylogenetic relationships among these species vary among different genomic regions, and levels of genetic differentiation suggest that this species group diversified only about one million years ago. D. albomicans and D. nasuta share nucleotide polymorphisms and are distinguished by relatively few fixed differences. Patterns of genetic differentiation between this species pair are compatible with a simple isolation model with no gene flow. Nucleotide variability levels of species in the nasuta group are comparable to those in members of the melanogaster and pseudoobscura species groups, indicating effective population sizes on the order of several million. Population genetic analyses reveal that summaries of the frequency distribution of neutral polymorphisms in both D. albomicans and D. nasuta generally fit the assumptions of the standard neutral model. D. albomicans is of particular interest for evolutionary studies because of its recently formed neo-sex chromosomes, and our phylogenetic and population genetic analyses suggest that it might be an ideal model to study the very early stages of Y chromosome evolution.     

上海及邻近地区果蝇（Drosophila albomicans）的迁入及其线粒体DNA多态性研究

本文报道１９９１年秋果蝇（Ｄ．ａｌｂｏｍｉｃａｎｓ）突然迁入上海的事实。我们用９种限制性核酸内切酶对上海、嘉定、青浦和南汇４个群体的２９个单雌系的线粒体ＤＮＡ进行了酶切片段长度多态性研究,发现每个单雌系各有其特征的酶切图谱。在与广东、昆明、台湾珊瑚潭、日本洲本及马来西亚吉隆坡群体比较后,我们认为上海及邻近地区突然发现的Ｄ．ａｌｂｏｍｉｃａｎｓ来自中国大陆南部的多个群体。这一结论支持该种目前正处于向北迁移的分化阶段的观点。我们还对线粒体ＤＮＡ的种内多态性进行了讨论     

THE CYTOGENETICS OF XANTHISMA TEXANUM DC. (ASTERACEAE) AND ITS B-CHROMOSOMES

The karyotype of A-set and B-chromosomes of Xanthisma texanum DC. are described in detail and measurements are given. The distribution of B-chromosomes in stem tissue is described and the loss of B-chromosomes from primary roots confirmed. The number of B-chromosomes in pollen mother cells was constant within single inflorescence buds and in all buds throughout the flowering period. The behavior of one and two B-chromosomes during meiosis is described in detail. During meiosis, B₁'s divided in 71% of the cases during anaphase II and in 29% of the cases during anaphase I. First anaphase division resulted in some lagging and elimination of B-chromatids during second division. During anaphase I, B₁₁'s divided into chromosomes and in anaphase II these divided into chromatids in 95% of the cases. In the other 5 % non-disjunction of the B-chromosomes or chromatids and A-set chromosome abnormalities occurred. Post meiotic preferential distribution during pollen mitosis resulting in a doubling of the number of B-chromosomes passed to progeny via pollen occurred, but no doubling occurred in the female line. Crosses involving plants with two B-chromosomes each yielded fewer plants with three B-chromosomes than expected. Polyploidy is extremely rare in the species. The evolutionary significance of B-chromosome behavior is discussed in relation to its origin and survival.     

Phylogeny and evolution of the Drosophila nasuta subgroup based on mitochondrial ND4 and ND4L gene sequences

The sequences of the mitochondrial ND4 gene (1339 bp) and the ND4L gene (290 bp) were determined for all the 14 extant taxa of the Drosophila nasuta subgroup. The average A + T content of ND4 genes is 76.5% and that of ND4L genes is 83.5%. A total of 114 variable sites were scored. The ND4 gene sequence divergence ranged from 0 to 5.4% within the subgroup. The substitution rate of the ND4 gene is about 1.25% per million years. The base substitution of the genes is strongly transition biased. Neighbor-joining and parsimony were used to construct a phylogeny based on the resultant sequence data set. According to these trees, five distinct mtDNA clades can be identified. D. niveifrons represents the most diverged lineage. D. sulfurigaster bilimbata and D. kepulauana form two independent lineages. The other two clades are the kohkoa complex and the albomicans complex. The kohkoa complex consists of D. sulfurigaster sulfurigaster, D. pulaua, D. kohkoa, and Taxon-F. The albomicans complex can be divided into two groups: D. nasuta, D. sulfurigaster neonasuta, D. sulfurigaster albostrigata, and D. albomicans from Chiangmai form one group; and D. pallidifrons, Taxon-I, Taxon-J, and D. albomicans from China form the other group. High genetic differentiation was found among D. albomicans populations. Based on our phylogenetic results, we hypothesize that D. niveifrons diverged first from the D. nasuta subgroup in Papua New Guinea about 3.5 Mya. The ancestral population spread to the north and when it reached Borneo, it diversified sequentially into the kohkoa complex, D. s. bilimbata, and D. kepulauana. About 1 Mya, another radiation occurred when the ancestral populations reached the Indo-China Peninsula, forming the albomicans complex. Discrepancy between morphological groupings and phylogenetic results suggests that the male morphological traits may not be orthologous.
