A comparative investigation of the organization and expression of the mitochondrial genome in fertile and cytoplasmic male sterile (CMS) sunflower (Helianthus annuus) has been undertaken. A region of mitochondrial genome variation between the two phenotypes has been located in the 3' flanking region of the gene encoding the alpha subunit of the F1 ATPase (atpA). Physical mapping and sequence analysis have been used to show that a rearrangement involving an inversion and an insertion has occurred immediately downstream of the atpA coding region in the mitochondrial DNA from sterile sunflower. This rearrangement has resulted in the creation of a new open reading frame (ORFc) which is co-transcribed with atpA in sterile sunflower. In organello labelling of mitochondrial translation products from the two types of sunflower shows that a 15 kDa protein is synthesized by the mitochondria from sterile sunflower but not by those from fertile plants. The ORFc sequence could encode this 15 kDa protein which may be causally related to the CMS phenotype.  相似文献

A mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) region termed the S-pcf locus has previously been correlated with cytoplasmic male sterility (CMS) in Petunia. In order to understand the relationship of the S-pcf locus to homologous sequences found elsewhere in mtDNAs of both CMS and fertile lines, the structure of the mitochondrial genome of CMS Petunia line 3688 was determined by cosmid walking. The S-pcf locus, which includes the only copies of genes for NADH dehydrogenase subunit 3 (nad3) and small ribosomal subunit protein 12 (rps12) was found to be located on a circular map of 396 kb, while a second almost identical circular map of 407 kb carries the only copies of the genes for 18S and 5S rRNA (rrn18 and rrn5), the only copy of a conserved unidentified gene (orf25), and the only known functional copy of atp9. Three different copies of a recombination repeat were found in six genomic environments, predicting sub-genomic circles of 277, 266 and 130 kb. The ratio of atp9 to S-pcf mtDNA sequences was approximately 1.5 to 1, indicating that sub-genomic molecules carrying these genes differ in abundance. Comparison of the mtDNA organization of the CMS line with that of the master circle of fertile Petunia line 3704 reveals numerous changes in order and orientation of ten different sectors.  相似文献

Comparison of the physical maps of male fertile (cam) and male sterile (pol) mitochondrial genomes of Brassica napus indicates that structural differences between the two mtDNAs are confined to a region immediately upstream of the atp6 gene. Relative to cam mtDNA, pol mtDNA possesses a 4.5 kb segment at this locus that includes a chimeric gene that is cotranscribed with atp6 and lacks an approximately 1kb region located upstream of the cam atp6 gene. The 4.5 kb pol segment is present and similarly organized in the mitochondrial genome of the common nap B.napus cytoplasm; however, the nap and pol DNA regions flanking this segment are different and the nap sequences are not expressed. The 4.5 kb CMS-associated pol segment has thus apparently undergone transposition during the evolution of the nap and pol cytoplasms and has been lost in the cam genome subsequent to the pol-cam divergence. This 4.5 kb segment comprises the single DNA region that is expressed differently in fertile, pol CMS and fertility restored pol cytoplasm plants. The finding that this locus is part of the single mtDNA region organized differently in the fertile and male sterile mitochondrial genomes provides strong support for the view that it specifies the pol CMS trait.  相似文献

Mitochondrial DNA from 1 fertile and 6 cytoplasmic male sterile (CMS) sunflower genotypes was studied. The CMS genotypes had been obtained either by specific crosses between different Helianthus species or by mutagenesis. CMS-associated restriction fragment length polymorphisms (RFLPs) were found in the vicinity of the atpA locus, generated by various restriction enzymes. The organization of the mitochondrial genes 26S rRNA, 18S + 5S rRNA and coxII was investigated by Southern blot analysis. These genes have similar structures in fertile and all studied sterile sources. Using the atpA probe, 5 from the 6 investigated CMS genotypes showed identical hybridization patterns to the Petiolaris CMS line, which is used in all commercial sunflower hybrids. Only 1 cytoplasm derived from an open pollination of Helianthus annuus ssp. texanus, known as ANT1, contained a unique mitochondrial DNA fragment, which is distinguishable from the fertile and sterile Petiolaris genotypes and from all investigated CMS genotypes. Male fertility restoration and male sterility maintenance of the ANT1 line are different from the Petiolaris CMS system, which is a confirmation that a novel CMS genotype in sunflower has been identified.  相似文献

The so-called "wild abortive" (WA) type of cytoplasmic male sterility (CMS) derived from a wild rice species Oryza rufipogon has been extensively used for hybrid rice breeding. However, extensive analysis of the structure of the related mitochondrial genome has not been reported, and the CMS-associated gene(s) remain unknown. In this study, we exploited a mitochondrial genome-wide strategy to examine the structural and expressional variations in the mitochondrial genome conferring the CMS. The entire mitochondriai genomes of a CMS-WA line and two normal fertile rice lines were amplified by Long-polymerase chain reaction into tilling fragments of up to 15.2 kb. Restriction and DNA blotting analyses of these fragments revealed that structural variations occurred in several regions in the WA mitochondrial genome, as compared to those of the fertile lines. All of the amplified fragments covering the entire mitochondrial genome were used as RNA blot probes to examine the mitochondriai expression profile among the CMS-WA and fertile lines. As a result, only two mRNAs were found to be differentially expressed between the CMS-WA and the fertile lines, which were detected by a probe containing the nad5 and orf153 genes and the other having the ribosomal protein gene rpl5, respectively. These mRNAs are proposed to be the candidates for further identification and functional studies of the CMS gene.  相似文献
