基因组原位杂交的新进展及其在植物中的应用

基因组原位杂交 ( Genomic in situ hybridization GISH)是 2 0世纪 80年代末发展起来的一种原位杂交技术。它最初应用于动物方面的研究[1 ] ,但很快被植物方面所借用 ,并且使用频率高于动物方面的研究。它采用来自一个物种的总基因组 DNA作为标记探针 ,用另一物种的总基因组 DNA以适当的浓度进行封阻 ,在靶染色体上进行原位杂交。在封阻DNA和标记 DNA探针之间 ,封阻 DNA优先与一般序列杂交 ,剩下的特异性序列主要被标记探针所杂交。在此基础上 ,人们先后发展了荧光基因组原位杂交、多色基因组原位杂交和比较基因组原位杂交等技术 ,…     

GISH中杂交鲷亲本封阻DNA不同制备方法的效果

目的:基因组荧光原位杂交(GISH)作为一种细胞遗传学的研究方法,以其特定的优点被越来越广泛的应用于杂种染色体分析、染色体行为考察等方面。采用适当的封阻DNA制备方法得到合适的封阻DNA从而使得在基因组原位杂交中大大提高杂交效率,更能突显GISH方法的优势。方法:采用煮沸法和超声波破碎法对杂交鲷亲本真鲷(♀)、黑鲷(♂)DNA进行剪切研究了两种鲷类封阻DNA的制备。结果:煮沸15 min时DNA已被切断。煮沸70 min以后,DNA片段更加集中,主要分布在500bp左右。煮沸90 min或者煮沸120 min以后发现,DNA电泳条带主要分布于250 bp附近,已达到GISH所需封阻DNA片段大小的要求。结论:煮沸法对基因组DNA的剪切,与超声波清洗仪剪切DNA相比,具有更高的效率。研究结果为基因组荧光原位杂交的顺利进行提供了条件。

拟南芥DNA探针的比较基因组原位杂交揭示的拟南芥与远缘植物基因组间的同源性

采用生物素标记的拟南芥基因组DNA探针在75%杂交严谨度下对双子叶植物番茄、蚕豆和单子叶植物水稻、玉米、大麦的染色体进行了比较基因组荧光原位杂交（comparative genomic in situ hybridization,cGISH）分析,以揭示拟南芥与远缘植物基因组间的同源性.cGISH信号代表了拟南芥基因组DNA中的重复DNA与靶物种染色体上同源序列的杂交.探针DNA在所有靶物种的全部染色体上都产生了杂交信号.杂交信号为散在分布,并呈现随基因组增大,杂交信号增多,且分布更加分散的趋势.所有靶物种的核仁组织区（NOR）都显示了明显强于其他区域的杂交信号,表明拟南芥基因组DNA探针可用于植物NOR的物理定位.在所有的靶物种中,信号主要分布在染色体的臂中间区和末端,着丝粒或近着丝粒区有少数信号分布.大麦染色体显示了与C-和N-带不同的独特的cGISH信号带型,表明此探针可用于不同植物染色体的识别.这些结果表明,拟南芥基因组与远缘植物基因组之间,除rDNA和端粒重复序列外,还存在其它同源的重复DNA;一些重复DNA序列在被子植物分歧进化为单子叶和双子叶植物之前就已存在,虽经历了长期的进化过程,至今在远缘物种之间仍保持了较高的同源性.结果还提示,大基因组中古老而保守的重复DNA在进化过程中发生了明显的扩增.     

栽培稻—药用野生稻杂种F1及回交后代的基因组原位杂交鉴定

自身基因组原位杂交揭示植物基因组重复DNA沿染色体的分布

重复DNA沿染色体的分布是认识植物基因组的组织和进化的要素之一。本研究采用一种改良的基因组原位杂交程序,对基因组大小和重复DNA数量不同的6种植物进行了自身基因组原位杂交(self-genomic in situ hybridization,self-GISH)。在所有供试物种的染色体都观察到荧光标记探针DNA的不均匀分布。杂交信号图型在物种间有明显的差异,并与基因组的大小相关。小基因组拟南芥的染色体几乎只有近着丝粒区和核仁组织区被标记。基因组相对较小的水稻、高粱、甘蓝的杂交信号分散分布在染色体的全长,但在近着丝粒区或近端区以及某些异染色质臂的分布明显占优势。大基因组的玉米和大麦的所有染色体都被密集地标记,并在染色体全长显示出强标记区与弱标记或不标记区的交替排列。此外,甘蓝染色体的所有近着丝粒区和核仁组织区、大麦染色体的所有近着丝粒区和某些臂中间区还显示了增强的信号带。大麦增强的信号带带型与其N-带带型一致。水稻自身基因组原位杂交图型与水稻Cot-1DNA在水稻染色体上的荧光原位杂交图型基本一致。研究结果表明,自身基因组原位杂交信号实际上反映了基因组重复DNA序列对染色体的杂交,因而自身基因组原位杂交技术是显示植物基因组中重复DNA聚集区在染色体上的分布以及与重复DNA相关联的染色质分化的有效方法。     

亚比棉基因组原位杂交及核型分析

亚比棉异源四倍体是山西农业大学棉花育种组于上个世纪80年代用A染色体组亚洲棉(Gossypium.arboreum)(迁西小黑籽)与G染色体组野生棉比克氏棉(G.bickii)杂交成异源二倍体后,又经过加倍而获得的.亚比棉异源四倍体不仅育性得到恢复、结铃正常,而且成功地将比克氏棉的优异性状--种子腺体延缓形成转育到亚比棉中.这为实现棉花综合利用和提高抗虫性创育了新的育种材料.在随后的多年中,山西农业大学棉花育种组对亚比棉异源四倍体进行了广泛的细胞形态学研究,对其核型做了分析.然而,仅依据形态学和普通的核型图像,还不能确定该异源四倍体棉种中比克氏棉G染色体(亚)组在核型中的表现.该文以比克氏棉gDNA为探针,亚比棉异源四倍体根尖体细胞染色体为靶细胞染色体,封阻材料为亚洲棉(迁西小黑籽),进行亚比棉基因组原位杂交(Genome in situ hybridization,GISH)及核型分析.从获得的图像中可以清晰地发现有52条染色体,其中有/无杂交信号的各一半,这直观地证实了人工复合亚比棉杂交种确为异源四倍体,而且是双二倍体.A亚组与G亚组染色体长度存在交替排列.亚比棉异源四倍体基于GISH图像的核型公式为2n=4x=52=46m(4sat)+6sm(4sat).A亚组和G亚组染色体上各有2对随体.G亚组染色体中至少有5对双重显色明显的染色体,意味着可能有A亚组染色体的交换,而A亚组染色体中只观察到或多或少的探针红色荧光信号,由于分辨率不够而难于定量分析.进一步以45SrDNA为探针,以鲑鱼精DNA作为封阻DNA,对亚比棉异源四倍体进行45SrDNA-FISH,实验表明,亚比棉异源四倍体有14个NOR(核仁组织区)信号,说明亚比棉异源四倍体有14个随体,即7对随体.比克氏棉对亚洲棉的GISH结果显示,在有亚洲棉DNA封阻的条件下,亚洲棉靶细胞染色体无任何杂交信号,说明比克氏棉与亚洲棉染色体之间不存在较大的同源或相似序列.     

应用基因组原位杂交及RFLP标记鉴定小麦中的大麦染色体

Genomic in situ hybridization identifies genome donor of finger millet (Eleusine coracana)

Eleusine coracana, commonly called finger millet, is an important cereal of semi-arid regions, cultivated in parts of Africa and India for its grain. It is reported to be an allotetraploid with a chromosome number 2n = 4x = 36, and diploid species E. indica, with chromosome number 2n = 2x = 18, is considered to be one of its genome donors. In situ hybridization of the E. coracana genome with the genomic DNA of various diploid species of the genus confirmed that E. indica is one of the genome donors to E. coracana and that E. floccifolia is another genome contributor to this allotetraploid species. In situ hybridization also showed a close genomic relationship between 4 diploid species, E. indica, E. floccifolia, E. tristachya and E. intermedia, and also between these and tetraploid species E. coracana. The common genomic in situ hybridization (GISH) signals of the genomic DNA of E. indica and E. tristachya on 15–18 chromosomes of E. coracana clearly indicated that these 2 species have a close genomic similarity. GISH on 25–27 chromosomes of E. coracana withthe genomic DNA of E. intermedia and cross in situ hybridization signals on the chromosomes of E. coracana with genomic DNA of E. intermedia and E. indica or E. intermedia and E. floccifolia has showed that E. intermedia may be an intermediate species of E. indica and E. floccifolia.

Isolation and characterization of genome-specific markers in Oryza species with the BB genome

Wild species of rice with many valuable agronomic traits are an important genetic resource for improving cultivated rice by wide hybridization. Genome- or chromosome-specific markers are useful for monitoring genome introgression and for identifying genome components. From 47 random amplified polymorphic DNAs (RAPDs) of nine Oryza species, three bands (Ogla225, Opun225, and Opun246) were found to be genome specific with distinct sizes. Their specificities were further characterized by Southern hybridization, sequence analysis, and fluorescent in situ hybridization (FISH). Ogla225 is specifically amplified from the AA genome but homologous sequences were conserved among Oryza species. Opun225 occurs at a low copy number although is specifically amplified from Oryza punctata. There are estimated 2000-3300 repeats of Opun246 in each haploid genome of Oryza species with the BB or BBCC genome. Clusters of Opun246 repeats were detected at heterochromatic regions on almost all chromosomes of the BB genomes by FISH. Opun246 may be a useful marker for monitoring the introgression of BB genome or for identifying the conserved components of BB genome in genetic resource. The results from this study and our previous study both indicate that numerous unique repeats play role in the differentiation of the BB genome from other Oryza genomes.     

Flavonoid patterns and systematics in Eleusine

A survey of leaf flavonoids was conducted on Eleusine coracana ssp. coracana and ssp. africana, E. indica, E. multiflora, E. tristachya, E. floccifolia, and E. compressa. Twenty phenolic compounds were detected. Those identified were: orientin, isoorientin, vitexin, isovitexin, saponarin, violanthin, lucenin-1, and tricin. The study revealed a general generic flavonoid pattern except for E. compressa, which occupies an isolated position in Eleusine. Flavonoids of the perennial E. floccifolia and the annuals E. multiflora and E. tristachya are markedly different from those of cultivated E. coracana, suggesting that these species are only distantly related to the crop. The morphologically well defined E. coracana—africana—indica group also forms a unit in respect of flavonoids. Subspecies africana exhibits a higher flavonoid similarity to ssp. coracana (finger millet) than does E. indica. The weedy race of ssp. africana usually combines flavonoids of both the wild and domesticated subspecies. The flavonoid pattern of the dedza race of ssp.africana is identical to that of finger millet, suggesting either a direct origin of the crop from this race, or extensive introgression from the crop into ssp. africana. A lack of qualitative differences in flavonoids between cultivated races of finger millet is indicative of the genetic stability of these compounds. The flavonoid data confirms the domestication of finger millet from ssp. africana.     

Quantitative nuclear DNA changes inEleusine (Gramineae)

2C nuclear DNA amounts were determined in 30 collections belonging to 10 species ofEleusine. About a 2.5-fold variation in genome size is evident in the genus. The 2C DNA amount in the diploid species ranged from 2.50 pg inE. verticillata to 3.35 pg inE. intermedia. In contrast, the tetraploid species showed a range from 4.95 pg inE. africana to 6.13 pg inE. floccifolia. At intraspecific level 10 collections ofE. coracana, 6 ofE. indica, 4 ofE. africana, 2 ofE. tristachya, and 2 ofE. kigeziensis did not show any significant variation. However, 2 collections ofE. floccifolia, connected with polyploidy, displayed about 90% variation. Polyploid species showed approximately double the genome size of that of their corresponding diploids. An evolutionary increase in DNA amount is evident inE. coracana during the course of its origin and domestication fromE. africana.     

The ‘A’ genome donor of Eleusine coracana (L.) Gaertn. (Gramineae)

Summary In an attempt to discover A and B genome donor(s) to finger millet, Eleusine coracana, or its progenitor species, E. africana (both allotetraploid 2n=4x=36), five diploid species, E. Indica, E. Floccifolia, E. multiflora, E. tristachya and E. intermedia, were crossed to finger millet and its progenitor taxon. Crosses were successful only with E. coracana. Three combinations of triploid hybrids E. coracana x E. indica, E. coracana x E. floccifolia, and E. coracana x E. multiflora were obtained and analysed. Meiotic behaviour was perfectly normal in parental species. The regular number of 18 bivalents in E. coracana, 9 bivalents in E. indica, E. intermedia, E. tristachya and E. floccifolia and 8 bivalents in E. multiflora were invariably noticed. In E. coracana x E. indica hybrids a mean chromosome pairing of 8.84_I+8.80_II+0.03_III+0.10_IV per cell was found. About 86.5% of the cells showed the typical 9_I+9_II configuration, suggesting that E. indica (AA) is one of the diploid genome donors to cultivated species E. coracana. A mean chromosome pairing of 11.08_I+7.63_II+0.16_III+0.04_IV per cell was found in E. coracana x E. floccifolia hybrids. Two to ten bivalents and varying numbers of univalents were seen in 55% of the cells. About 45% of the cells showed the 9_I+9_II configuration. Various evidence suggests that perennial E. floccifolia is a primitive member of the A genome group of Eleusine species, and it may not be a genome donor to E. coracana. In E. coracana x E. multiflora hybrids (2n=26) mean chromosome pairing of 21.45_I+1.97_II+0.13_III+0.04_IV per cell was found. About 91% of the cells were observed to have 20–26 univalents. Only a small percentage of the cells contained bivalents or multivalents. This pairing behaviour indicates that E. multiflora lacks genomic homology with the A or B genome of E. coracana. Genomically E. multiflora is a distinct species and a genomic symbol of C is assigned to it. Identification of the B genome donor species to cultivated millet. E. coracana remains elusive.     

RPB2 sequences reveal a close phylogenetic relationship between tetraploid Hordelymus and diploid Hordeum species in Triticeae (Poaceae)

The origin of Hordelymus genome has been debated for years, and no consensus conclusion was reached. In this study, we sequenced and analyzed the RPB2 (RNA polymerase subunit II) gene from Hordelymus europaeus (L.) Harz, and its potential diploid ancestor species those were suggested in previous studies. The focus of this study was to examine the phylogenetic relationship of Hordelymus genomes with its potential donor Hordeum, Psathyrostachys, and Taeniatherum species. Two distinguishable copies of sequences were obtained from H. europaeus. The obvious difference between the two copies of sequences is a 24 bp indel (insertion/deletion). Phylogenetic analysis showed a strong affinity between Hordeum genome and Hordelymus with 85% bootstrap support. These results suggested that one genome in tetraploid H. europaeus closely related to the genome in Hordeum species. Another genome in H. europaeus is sister to the genomes in Triticeae species examined here, which corresponds well with the recently published EF-G data. No obvious relationship was found between Hordelymus and either Ta genome donor, Taeniatherum caput-medusae or Ns genome donor, Psathyrostachys juncea. Our data does not support the presence of Ta and Ns genome in H. europaeus, and further confirms that H. europaeus is allopolyploid.

Karyotype Analysis of Gossypium arboreum × G. bickii by Genome in situ Hybridization

By using genome in situ hybridization (GISH) on root somatic chromosomes of allotetraploid derived from the cross Gossypium arboreum × G. bickii with genomic DNA (gDNA) of G. bickii as a probe, two sets of chromosomes, consisting of 26 chromosomes each, were easily distinguished from each other by their distinctive hybridization signals. GISH analysis directly proved that the hybrid GarboreumxG. bickii is an allotetraploid amphiploid. The karyotype formula of the species was 2n = 4x = 52 = 46m (4sat) + 6sm (4sat). We identified four pairs of satellites with two pairs in each sub-genome. FISH analysis using 45S rDNA as a probe showed that the cross G. arboreumxG. bickii contained 14 NORs. At least five pairs of chromosomes in the G sub-genome showed double hybridization (red and blue) in their long arms, which indicates that chromatin introgression from the A sub-genome had occurred.     

Cytoplasmic and genomic effects on meiotic pairing in brassica hybrids and allotetraploids from pair crosses of three cultivated diploids

Interspecific hybridization and allopolyploidization contribute to the origin of many important crops. Synthetic Brassica is a widely used model for the study of genetic recombination and "fixed heterosis" in allopolyploids. To investigate the effects of the cytoplasm and genome combinations on meiotic recombination, we produced digenomic diploid and triploid hybrids and trigenomic triploid hybrids from the reciprocal crosses of three Brassica diploids (B. rapa, AA; B. nigra, BB; B. oleracea, CC). The chromosomes in the resultant hybrids were doubled to obtain three allotetraploids (B. juncea, AA.BB; B. napus, AA.CC; B. carinata, BB.CC). Intra- and intergenomic chromosome pairings in these hybrids were quantified using genomic in situ hybridization and BAC-FISH. The level of intra- and intergenomic pairings varied significantly, depending on the genome combinations and the cytoplasmic background and/or their interaction. The extent of intragenomic pairing was less than that of intergenomic pairing within each genome. The extent of pairing variations within the B genome was less than that within the A and C genomes, each of which had a similar extent of pairing. Synthetic allotetraploids exhibited nondiploidized meiotic behavior, and their chromosomal instabilities were correlated with the relationship of the genomes and cytoplasmic background. Our results highlight the specific roles of the cytoplasm and genome to the chromosomal behaviors of hybrids and allopolyploids.     

Comparative genomic in situ hybridization (cGISH) analysis of the genomic relationships among Sinapis arvensis, Brassica rapa and Brassica nigra

To further understand the relationships between the SS genome of Sinapis arvensis and the AA, BB genomes in Brassica, genomic DNA of Sinapis arvensis was hybridized to the metaphase chromosomes of Brassica nigra (BB genome), and the metaphase chromosomes and interphase nucleus of Brassica rapa (AA genome) by comparative genomic in situ hybridization (cGISH). As a result, every chromosome of B. nigra had signals along the whole chromosomal length. However, only half of the condensed heterochromatic areas in the interphase nucleus and the chromosomes showed rich signals in Brassica rapa. Interphase nucleus and the metaphase chromosomes of S. arvensis were simultaneously hybridized with digoxigenin-labeled genomic DNA of B. nigra and biotin-labeled genomic DNA of B. rapa. Signals of genomic DNA of B. nigra hybridized throughout the length of all chromosomes and all the condensed heterochromatic areas in the interphase nucleus, except chromosome 4, of which signals were weak in centromeric regions. Signals of the genomic DNA of B. rapa patterned the most areas of ten chromosomes and ten condensed heterochromatic areas, others had less signals. The results showed that the SS genome had homology with AA and BB genomes, but the homology between SS genome and AA genome was clearly lower than that between the SS genome and BB genome.
