草菇减数分裂和担孢子形成细胞核行为

本文用苏木精染色和双苯并咪唑(Hoechst 33258)染色法,从草菇子实体“纽期”菌褶分化完开始,每3小时对同一个子实体连续切取菌褶进行染色观察。结果表明草菇子实体“纽期”菌褶形成时,约10％的担子发生了核配;在子实体发育过程中,尤其是子实体成熟期后,不断有少量新的双核担子产生,并发生核配,使草菇减数分裂的同步性不高;草菇从菌褶分化完成(此时已有10％担子发生核配)到子实体完全成熟,菌褶变成深粉红至褐色(此时约70％担子完成减数分裂)需要28—30小时;担子减数分裂的持续时间为18小时,其中细线期和偶线期5.9小时、粗线期6.2小时、双线期和终变期3.4小时、中期10.5小时、后期Ⅰ到四分体2小时;经过对粗线期、双线和终变期以及中期Ⅰ染色体条数的多次反复观察,认为草菇的染色体条数为11(n=11);减数分裂后,4个子核分别进入4个担孢子中,留下无核的担子;绝大部分担孢子是单核的,有约5％的担孢子是双核的。     

糙皮侧耳染色体计数和担孢子形成过程中细胞核行为的研究

糙皮侧耳(Pleurotus ostreatus)菌褶经有丝分裂阻断剂预处理、原生质体铺片和Gie-msa 染色并结合苏木精染色后,经过多次反复实验观察,证明糙皮侧耳的染色体条数为 9(n=9);糙皮侧耳从菌褶分化完成到子实体完全成熟的过程中,不断有少量新的双核担子产生,发生核配直到释放担孢子。其减数分裂同步性不高。减数分裂后,4个子核分别进入4个担孢子中,留下中空的担子。     

食用外共生菌根真菌兰茂牛肝菌Lanmaoa asiatica纯培养条件下不同发育时期的核相

食用外共生菌根菌是一类可食用并与植物共生的大型真菌,其在纯培养条件下菌丝生长缓慢,不会扭结发育成原基,不能完成生活史。因此关于食用菌根菌纯培养条件下生活史的研究报道极少。本研究的兰茂牛肝菌Lanmaoa asiatica已能在纯培养条件下诱导出原基,这使生活史的研究得以完成。利用扫描电子显微镜、透射电子显微镜及荧光显微镜对兰茂牛肝菌子实体担子、担孢子、纯培养菌丝和原基的核相进行了观察。结果表明,子实体菌丝细胞为双核,担子经过减数分裂形成4个单核担孢子;担孢子萌发时长轴端长出芽状突起伸长为菌丝,原孢子中的细胞核不分裂,直接进入菌丝,形成单核初生菌丝;初生菌丝5d后变为双核菌丝;纯培养菌丝及原基细胞均为双核,其菌丝表面光滑,未观察到锁状联合。     

基于担孢子形成过程四分体随机分离规律揭示草菇的有性生活史

本研究观察了草菇担子上着生担孢子的类型、担孢子细胞核数量,扩增了单孢菌株交配型A因子特异序列,基于减数分裂后四分体随机分离进入担孢子的遗传规律,分析了异核担孢子和同核(或单核)担孢子的比例。研究结果表明,草菇担孢子中异核担孢子的比例平均为7.14%,同核或单核担孢子的比例平均为92.86%。单核或同核的担孢子萌发后需要质配形成异核体才能完成有性生殖,交配方式类似异宗配合;异核担孢子萌发直接形成异核菌丝,其有性生殖类似同宗配合。     

金针菇担孢子核相及遗传属性的研究

以3个不同的金针菇菌株为材料,研究了其担孢子的核相及遗传属性。荧光染色观察显示,担孢子核相以双核为主,双核孢子、单核孢子和无核孢子分别占80.2%、7.5%和12.3%。源于单孢分离物的菌丝为有隔膜、无锁状联合的多核菌丝。在交配试验中,源于不同菌株单孢分离物的菌丝原生质体的配对形成具锁状联合的菌落,而源于同一单孢分离物的菌丝原生质体的配对则形成无锁状联合的菌落,暗示担孢子中的两个核具有相同的交配型。RAPD分析显示,源于同一单孢分离物的菌丝原生质体为10个随机引物所扩增的图谱彼此完全相同,印证了担孢子中的双核是同质的。此外,观察表明,一个担子上着生有4个担孢子。因此,金针菇是一种具4个含同质双核担孢子的四极性蕈菌。     

榆耳有性结构及生活史的研究

本文通过电镜扫描、石腊切片及用苏木精染色法和DAPI荧光染色,对榆耳子实体有性结构进行观察,证实榆耳子实体菌盖结构分三层:上表层为毛层,表面着生有排列较密集顶端游离的菌丝,它们相互粘连呈菌丝束;中间层为髓部,由较疏松而相互交织在一起的薄壁菌丝组成,菌丝间充满胶质物质;下表层为子实层,表面起伏不平,呈不规则的疣状突起,上面着生担子和囊状体,担子无隔膜棍棒形,外表有不规则的网状纹饰,其顶部着生4个瓶梗状小梗,每个小梗上着生1个椭圆形或腊肠形担孢子,大小为2.5—3.0×6.0—6.5μm,担孢子表面有不规则的网状纹饰结构。在担子间的囊状体为长圆柱形或圆锥形,表面有较密的不规则的网状纹饰。 榆耳有性生殖为异宗配合。绝大多数担孢子含一个细胞核,很少数担孢子含两个细胞核。孢子萌发为一端萌发,也有少数为两端萌发。初生菌丝单核,不能形成子实体,当两种不同遗传性的交配型的初生菌丝结合后,形成具有锁状联合结构的双核菌丝,并可发育成子实体。榆耳具有典型减数分裂过程,不具有减数分裂后核分裂行为,四个子核分别进入四个担孢子内。 在初生菌丝或次生菌丝上,均可产生间生的或顶生的厚垣孢子。经过温度、光照和紫外线照射的诱发,均未发现有其它类型的无性孢子产生。因此,榆耳菌的生活史和大多数担子     

Isolation and characterization of a sporeless mutant in Pleurotus eryngii

A sporeless mutant dikaryon, completely defective in sporulation, was isolated from mycelial protoplasts of Pleurotus eryngii mutagenized by UV irradiation. Newly established dikaryons between one component monokaryon from the mutant, and 12 different wild type monokaryons from 3 other wild type dikaryons, all exhibited the sporeless phenotype, whereas those between the other monokaryon and the same wild type monokaryons all produced normal fruiting bodies. These results indicated that the sporeless mutation was induced in one of two nuclei of the mutant and was dominant. In the wild type basidia, the pattern of nuclear behavior during sporulation corresponded to the pattern C nuclear behavior as defined by Duncan and Galbraith. Cytological observation revealed that in the sporeless mutant meiosis was blocked at the meta-anaphase I in most basidia and hence basidiospores and sterigmata were not produced. Although fruiting bodies of the sporeless mutant showed a somewhat leaning growth, their gross morphology and its fruiting body productivity were comparable to that of the original wild type strain. Based on these results, it was considered that the sporeless mutant could serve as a potential material in breeding of sporeless P. eryngii commercial strains.     

Basidiospore formation in monokaryotic fruiting bodies of a mutant strain of Coprinus macrorhizus

The process of basidiospore formation in a mutant strain Fis^c of Coprinus macrorhizus, a heterothallic species of Basidiomycete, which forms monokaryotic fruiting bodies was examined. A single nucleus in a young basidium divided mitotically and two daughter nuclei were fused subsequently. The fused nucleus then divided meiotically forming four basidiospores on a basidium. The typical chromosome behaviours in the first meiotic prophase were observed. Synaptonemal complexes were observed in a basidium at the first meiotic prophase. A continuous illumination of fruiting bodies was effective to arrest meiosis in monokaryotic fruiting bodies at the particular stage of meiotic division.     

Photosporogenesis of Coprinus congregatus: Correlations between the physiological age of lamellae and the development of their potential for renewed fruiting

When the hymenial lamellae of Coprinus congregatus Bull ex Fr. are used as implants, their potential for renewed fruiting varies according to the photocontrolled meiosis and the consecutive sporogenesis. In the case of young lamellae, whose basidia are still at the dikaryon stage, one can observe immediate start of mycelial growth all around the lamellae and production of the first mature sporophores directly on the lamellae (direct fruiting). Simultaneously, meiosis does not occur in hymenial cells. Conversely, in the case of implantation of the oldest lamellae, whose basidia are characterized by meiotic nuclei beyond prophase 1 and rather near telophase 2 (tetranucleate stage), vegetative growth starts slowly and the first mature sporophores are not produced on the lamellae but on the surrounding vegetative mycelium (indirect fruiting). When the lamellae are isolated from photoindifferent primordia – for instance, 12 h before maturity – sporogenesis in hymenial cells proceeds normally until autolysis of the isolated lamellae. Such isolated lamellae no longer show direct fruiting where the first flush is concerned.     

Localization of the Mating Type Gene in Agaricus bisporus

The cultivated mushroom Agaricus bisporus is secondarily homothallic. Most basidia produce two basidiospores, each of which receives two of the four postmeiotic nuclei. Usually, the two packaged nuclei carry compatible mating types. Previous studies suggested that there may be only a single mating type locus in A. bisporus. In this study, we determined whether the mating type segregated as a single Mendelian determinant in a cross marked with 64 segregating molecular markers. To score mating types, each of the 52 homokaryotic offspring from this cross was paired with each of the two progenitor homokaryons. Compatible matings were identified by the formation of genetically stable heterokaryons which were verified by assay of restriction fragment length polymorphisms (RFLPs). Data for screening mycelial interactions on petri plates as well as fruit body formation were compared with the RFLP results. Mating types of 43 of the 52 homokaryotic offspring were determined on the basis of RFLP analysis. Our results indicate (i) there is a segregating mating type gene in A. bisporus, (ii) this mating type gene is on the largest linkage group (chromosome I), (iii) mycelial interactions on petri plates were associated with heterokaryon formation under selected conditions, (iv) fruit body formation was dependent upon the mating type gene, and (v) compatible mating types may not always be sufficient for fruiting.

Inheritance of Restriction Fragment Length Polymorphisms in Agaricus Brunnescens

The cultivated mushroom, Agaricus brunnescens, is secondarily homothallic; most basidia produce only two basidiospores, each of which receives two of the four post meiotic nuclei. The segregation of restriction fragment length polymorphisms (RFLPs) detected by four plasmid probes carrying single-copy nuclear DNA of Agaricus was followed in seven parental strains including commercial, wild-collected, and artificially synthesized heterokaryons. Of a total of 367 single-spore progeny examined, 351 (95.6%) were heteroallelic at all RFLP loci heteroallelic in the respective parents. Of the 16 segregant isolates, ten (2.7% of the total) were homoallelic at all segregating loci assayed, suggesting that these isolates were most probably derived from rare spores that had received only a single postmeiotic nucleus. Some of these ten isolates had recombinant genotypes. Only five isolates (1.4% of the total) showed homoallelism at one of the loci heteroallelic in the parent, while remaining heteroallelic at other loci. These five genotypes suggest that a crossover had occurred between a marker locus and its respective centromere. Taken together, the results suggest that meiosis in A. brunnescens is accompanied by low levels of recombination and that nonsister nuclei are preferentially incorporated into basidiospores after meiosis II.
