Partial preferential chromosome pairing is genotype dependent in tetraploid rose

It has long been recognised that polyploid species do not always neatly fall into the categories of auto‐ or allopolyploid, leading to the term ‘segmental allopolyploid’ to describe everything in between. The meiotic behaviour of such intermediate species is not fully understood, nor is there consensus as to how to model their inheritance patterns. In this study we used a tetraploid cut rose (Rosa hybrida) population, genotyped using the 68K WagRhSNP array, to construct an ultra‐high‐density linkage map of all homologous chromosomes using methods previously developed for autotetraploids. Using the predicted bivalent configurations in this population we quantified differences in pairing behaviour among and along homologous chromosomes, leading us to correct our estimates of recombination frequency to account for this behaviour. This resulted in the re‐mapping of 25 695 SNP markers across all homologues of the seven rose chromosomes, tailored to the pairing behaviour of each chromosome in each parent. We confirmed the inferred differences in pairing behaviour among chromosomes by examining repulsion‐phase linkage estimates, which also carry information about preferential pairing and recombination. Currently, the closest sequenced relative to rose is Fragaria vesca. Aligning the integrated ultra‐dense rose map with the strawberry genome sequence provided a detailed picture of the synteny, confirming overall co‐linearity but also revealing new genomic rearrangements. Our results suggest that pairing affinities may vary along chromosome arms, which broadens our current understanding of segmental allopolyploidy.

Lumbo-sacral neural crest derivatives fate mapped with the aid of Wnt-1 promoter integrate but are not essential to kidney development

Neural crest (NC) cells may be involved in kidney organogenesis by providing inductive signals and contributing to cells of the renal stroma. We show here that the lumbo-sacral NC cells fate mapped with the aid of Wnt-1 promoter in the mouse migrate close to the metanephros at the initiation of organogenesis but these cells remain superficial to the condensed Pax2-expressing mesenchymal cells. NC-derived cells enter later into the kidney proper from the midline region. The NC cells contribute also to development of the extra-adrenal para-aortic bodies, Zuckerkandl's bodies and the nerve cord of the sympathetic nervous system. Splotch (Sp^2H/Sp^2H) embryos, having a NC defect in the lumbo-sacral region, develop a normal metanephros even though the kidney does not express the NC markers Sox10, Phox2b and tyrosine hydroxylase. Consistent with the histological findings, the kidneys of Sp^2H/Sp^2H embryos also express the stromal genes Foxd1, Hoxa10 and RARβ normally. Wnt-1 promoter-marked wild-type LacZ NC cells migrate intensely from the heterologous inducer tissue of the embryonic dorsal spinal cord (SPC) to the kidney mesenchyme, but tubule induction does not depend on NC migration, since the Sp^2H/Sp^2H SPC also induces tubulogenesis. The Sp^2H/Sp^2H mesenchyme also remains competent for tubulogenesis. We conclude that the NC cells fate mapped with the aid of Wnt-1 promoter migrate to the close to the metanephros and form later derivatives integrating with the kidney, but they may not be essential to the development of the stromal cells nor they may provide critical morphogenetic signals to regulate early kidney development in vivo.     

Boron bridging of rhamnogalacturonan‐II,monitored by gel electrophoresis,occurs during polysaccharide synthesis and secretion but not post‐secretion

The cell‐wall pectic domain rhamnogalacturonan‐II (RG‐II) is cross‐linked via borate diester bridges, which influence the expansion, thickness and porosity of the wall. Previously, little was known about the mechanism or subcellular site of this cross‐linking. Using polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (PAGE) to separate monomeric from dimeric (boron‐bridged) RG‐II, we confirmed that Pb²⁺ promotes H₃BO₃‐dependent dimerisation in vitro. H₃BO₃ concentrations as high as 50 mm did not prevent cross‐linking. For in‐vivo experiments, we successfully cultured ‘Paul's Scarlet’ rose (Rosa sp.) cells in boron‐free medium: their wall‐bound pectin contained monomeric RG‐II domains but no detectable dimers. Thus pectins containing RG‐II domains can be held in the wall other than via boron bridges. Re‐addition of H₃BO₃ to 3.3 μm triggered a gradual appearance of RG‐II dimer over 24 h but without detectable loss of existing monomers, suggesting that only newly synthesised RG‐II was amenable to boron bridging. In agreement with this, Rosa cultures whose polysaccharide biosynthetic machinery had been compromised (by carbon starvation, respiratory inhibitors, anaerobiosis, freezing or boiling) lost the ability to generate RG‐II dimers. We conclude that RG‐II normally becomes boron‐bridged during synthesis or secretion but not post‐secretion. Supporting this conclusion, exogenous [³H]RG‐II was neither dimerised in the medium nor cross‐linked to existing wall‐associated RG‐II domains when added to Rosa cultures. In conclusion, in cultured Rosa cells RG‐II domains have a brief window of opportunity for boron‐bridging intraprotoplasmically or during secretion, but secretion into the apoplast is a point of no return beyond which additional boron‐bridging does not readily occur.     

Glycosylinositol phosphorylceramides from Rosa cell cultures are boron‐bridged in the plasma membrane and form complexes with rhamnogalacturonan II

Boron (B) is essential for plant cell‐wall structure and membrane functions. Compared with its role in cross‐linking the pectic domain rhamnogalacturonan II (RG‐II), little information is known about the biological role of B in membranes. Here, we investigated the involvement of glycosylinositol phosphorylceramides (GIPCs), major components of lipid rafts, in the membrane requirement for B. Using thin‐layer chromatography and mass spectrometry, we first characterized GIPCs from Rosa cell culture. The major GIPC has one hexose residue, one hexuronic acid residue, inositol phosphate, and a ceramide moiety with a C₁₈ trihydroxylated mono‐unsaturated long‐chain base and a C₂₄ monohydroxylated saturated fatty acid. Disrupting B bridging (by B starvation in vivo or by treatment with cold dilute HCl or with excess borate in vitro) enhanced the GIPCs' extractability. As RG‐II is the main B‐binding site in plants, we investigated whether it could form a B‐centred complex with GIPCs. Using high‐voltage paper electrophoresis, we showed that addition of GIPCs decreased the electrophoretic mobility of radiolabelled RG‐II, suggesting formation of a GIPC–B–RG‐II complex. Last, using polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis, we showed that added GIPCs facilitate RG‐II dimerization in vitro. We conclude that B plays a structural role in the plasma membrane. The disruption of membrane components by high borate may account for the phytotoxicity of excess B. Moreover, the in‐vitro formation of a GIPC–B–RG‐II complex gives the first molecular explanation of the wall–membrane attachment sites observed in vivo. Finally, our results suggest a role for GIPCs in the RG‐II dimerization process.
