Summary Somatic hybrid plants, produced between Nicotiana rustica and N. tabacum by heterokaryon isolation and culture and also by mutant complementation, were examined regarding their ability to set seed. From a total of seventeen independent somatic hybrids, three were found to be partially self-fertile while the others did not set seed. Differences regarding the methods of hybrid selection, parental varieties and chloroplast composition of hybrids did not appear to be significant regarding the ability of plants to set seed. Much variation in fertility was observed in subsequent generations and by recurrent selection of the most fertile, over two generations, it was possible to increase the level of self-fertility in some of the progeny. One R2 derivative possessed approximately a tenfold higher level of self-fertility than it's somatic hybrid parent. The presence of genetic markers from both parents were observed in all progeny indicating their hybrid nature. 相似文献

For the transfer of genes from B. tournefortii (TT) to the allotetraploid oilseed brassicas, B. juncea AABB, B. carinata BBCC and B. napus AACC, B. tournefortii was first crossed with the three basic diploid species, B. campestris (AA), B. nigra (BE) and B. oleracea (CC), to produce the allodiploids TA, TB and TC. These were tetraploidized by colchicine treatment to produce the allotetraploids TTAA, TTBB and TTCC, which were further crossed with B. juncea and B. napus to produce three-genome hybrids with substitution-type genomic configurations: TACC, TBAA and TCAA. These hybrids along with another hybrid TCBB produced earlier, the three allodiploids, their allotetraploids and the four diploid parent species were studied for their male meiotic behaviour. The diploid parent and the allotetraploids (TTAA, TTBB and TTCC) showed regular meiosis although the pollen viability was generally low in the allotetraploids. In the allodiploids (TA, TB and TC) only some end-to-end associations were observed without any clearly discernible chiasmata or exchange points. Chromosomes involved in end-to-end associations were randomly distributed at the metaphase/anaphase-I stages. In contrast, the three-genome hybrids (TACC, TBAA, TCAA and TCBB) showed normal bivalents whose number exceeded the expected bivalent values. Bivalents arising out of homoeologous pairing were indistinguishable from normal pairs by their disjunction pattern but could be distinguished on the basis of the heteromorphy of the homoeologous chromosomes. The three-genome hybrids could be backcrossed to allotetraploid oilseed brassicas as they had some fertility. In contrast, the allodiploids could neither be selfed nor back-crossed. On the basis of their meiotic stability, in terms of more pronounced homoeologous pairing and fertility for backcrossing, the three-genome configurations provide the best possible situation for the introgression of alien genes from the secondary gene pool to the allotetraploid oilseed crops B. juncea, B. napus and B. carinata. 相似文献

Most of the alloplasmic cytoplasmic male sterility (CMS) systems are known to be associated with a number of floral abnormalities that result from nuclear-cytoplasmic incompatibilities. One such system, tour, which is derived from Brassica tournefortii, induces additional floral abnormalities and causes chlorosis in Brassica spp. While the restorer for this CMS has been reported to be present in B. napus, in B. juncea, where the abnormalities are more pronounced, no restorer has yet been identified. Rectification of these floral abnormalities through mitochondrial recombinations and chloroplast replacement might result in the improvement of this CMS system. As organelle recombinations can possibly be achieved only by somatic cell hybridization, fusion experiments were carried out between hygromycin-resistant B. juncea AABB carrying tour cytoplasm and phosphinotricin-resistant, normal B. oleracea CC to generate AABBCC hexaploid somatic hybrids. The presence of selectable marker genes facilitated the selection of hybrids in large numbers. The resulting hybrids showed wide variation in floral morphology and organelle composition. Regenerants with normal, male-sterile flowers having recombinant tour-or oleracea-type mitochondria and oleracea-type chloroplasts were obtained. Hybrids with male-fertile flowers were also obtained that had recombined tour mitochondria. The AABBCC hexaploid hybrids synthesized in the present study were successfully utilized as a bridging material for transferring variability in the organelle genome simultaneously to all the digenomic Brassica species, and all of these hybrids are now being stabilized through repeated backcrosses to the allopolyploid crop brassicas. 相似文献

Oilseed crop Brassica carinata BBCC is a natural allotetraploid of diploid species B. nigra BB and B. oleracea CC. To transfer the nuclear and organelle genes in a concerted manner from an alien species, B. tournefortii TT, to B. carinata, we produced somatic hybrids with genomic configuration TCBB using B. nigra and B. oleracea stocks that carried selectable marker genes. B. tournefortii TT was sexually crossed with hygromycin-resistant B. oleracea CC. Protoplasts isolated from shoot cultures of hygromycin-resistant F1 hybrids of B. tournefortiixB. oleracea TC were fused with protoplasts of kanamycin-resistant B. nigra BB. In two different fusion experiments 80 colonies were obtained through selection on media containing both hygromycin and kanamycin. Of these, 39 colonies regenerated into plants. Analysis of 15 regenerants by random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) markers showed the presence of all three genomes, thereby confirming these to be true hybrids. Restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) analysis of organelle genomes with heterologous chloroplast (cp)and mitochondrial (mt) DNA probes showed that the chloroplast genome was inherited from either of the two parents while mitochondrial genomes predominantly showed novel configurations due to either rearrangements or intergenomic recombinations. We anticipate that the TCBB genomic configuration will provide a more conducive situation for recombination between the T and C genomes during meiosis than the TTCCBB or TCCBB type configurations that are usually produced for alien gene transfer. The agronomic aim of producing TCBB hybrids is to transfer mitochondrial genes conferring cytoplasmic male sterility and nuclear genes for fertility restoration from B. tournefortii to B. carinata. 相似文献

A zero erucic acid (C22:1) line of Brassica juncea (VH486), adapted to the agronomic conditions of Northern India, has been modified for its fatty acid composition in the seed oil with antisense constructs using the sequence of fad2 gene of B. rapa. The full-length B. rapa fad2 cDNA sequence was determined by 5 and 3 RACE of a partial sequence available in the EST database. Construct pASfad2.1 contained 315 to 1251 bp and construct pASfad2.2 contained 1 to 1251 bp fragment of the fad2 gene, both in antisense orientation, driven by a truncated napin promoter. Analysis of the levels of linoleic acid (C18:2) in the BC1 seeds of single-copy transgenics showed that the construct pASfad2.2 gave better suppression of the fad2 gene as compared to the construct pASfad2.1. The BC1 transgenic seeds containing the pASfad2.2 construct segregated into two distinct classes of C18:2>20% (putative null homozygotes) and C18:2<20% (putative heterozygotes) in a 1:1 ratio, while the T1 seeds segregated into three classes, C18:2>20%, C18:2 between 12% and 20%) and C18:2<12% (putative homozygotes) in a 1:2:1 ratio. Putative homozygous T1 seeds (C18:2<12% analyzed by the half-seed method) of four of the transgenic lines were grown to establish T2 homozygous lines. These had ca. 73% C18:1 and 8 to 9% each of C18:2 and C18:3 (-linolenic acid) fractions in comparison to ca. 53% C18:1, 24% C18:2 and 16% C18:3 in the parental line VH486. 相似文献

Quantitative trait loci (QTL) analysis of yield influencing traits was carried out in Brassica juncea (AABB) using a doubled haploid (DH) mapping population of 123 lines derived from a cross between Varuna (a line representing
the Indian gene pool) and Heera (representing the east European gene pool) to identify potentially useful alleles from both
the parents. The existing AFLP based map of B. juncea was further saturated with RFLP and SSR markers which led to the identification of the linkage groups belonging to the A
(B. rapa) and B (B. nigra) genome components of B. juncea. For QTL dissection, the DH lines were evaluated at three different environments and phenotyped for 12 quantitative traits.
A total of 65 QTL spread over 13 linkage groups (LG) were identified from the three environments. QTL analysis showed that
the A genome has contributed more than the B genome to productivity (68% of the total QTL detected) suggesting a more prominent
role of the A genome towards domestication of this crop. The east European line, Heera, carried favorable alleles for 42%
of the detected QTL and the remaining 58% were in the Indian gene pool line, Varuna. We observed clustering of major QTL in
a few linkage groups, particularly in J7 and J10 of the A genome, with QTL of different traits having agronomically antagonistic
allelic effects co-mapping to the same genetic interval. QTL analysis also identified some well-separated QTL which could
be readily transferred between the two pools. Based on the QTL analysis, we propose that improvement in yield could be achieved
more readily by heterosis breeding rather than by pure line breeding.

We report in this study, an improved method for identifying male sterile–restorer combinations using the barnase–barstar system of pollination control for heterosis breeding in crop plants, as an alternative to the conventional line × tester
cross method. In this strategy, a transgenic male sterile barnase line was retransformed with appropriate barstar constructs. Double transformants carrying both the barnase and barstar genes were identified and screened for their male fertility status. Using this strategy, 66–90% of fertile retransformants
(restored events) were obtained in Brassica juncea using two different barstar constructs. Restored events were analysed for their pollen viability and copy number of the barstar gene. Around 90% of the restored events showed high pollen viability and ∼30% contained single copy integrations of the barstar gene. These observations were significantly different from those made in our earlier studies using line (barnase) × tester (barstar) crosses, wherein only two viable male sterile–restorer combinations were identified by screening 88 different cross-combinations.
The retransformation strategy not only generated several independent restorers for a given male sterile line from a single
transformation experiment but also identified potential restorers in the T0 generation itself leading to significant savings in time, cost and labour. Single copy restored plants with high pollen viability
were selfed to segregate male sterile (barnase) and restorer (barstar) lines in the T1 progeny which could subsequently be diversified into appropriate combiners for heterosis breeding. This strategy will be
particularly useful for crop plants where poor transformation frequencies and/or lengthy transformation protocols are a major
limitation. 相似文献

Functional analysis of cauliflower mosaic virus 35S promoter: re-evaluation of the role of subdomains B5, B4 and B2 in promoter activity 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3

The cauliflower mosaic virus 35S (35S) promoter is used extensively for transgene expression in plants. The promoter has been delineated into different subdomains based on deletion analysis and gain-of-function studies. However, cis -elements important for promoter activity have been identified only in the domains B1 ( as-2 element), A1 ( as-1 element) and minimal promoter (TATA box). No cis -elements have been described in subdomains B2–B5, although these are reported to be important for the overall activity of the 35S promoter. We have re-evaluated the contribution of three of these subdomains, namely B5, B4 and B2, to 35S promoter activity by developing several modified promoters. The analysis of β-glucuronidase gene expression driven by the modified promoters in different tissues of primary transgenic tobacco lines, as well as in seedlings of the T1 generation, revealed new facets about the functional organization of the 35S promoter. This study suggests that: (i) the 35S promoter truncated up to –301 functions in a similar manner to the –343 (full-length) 35S promoter; (ii) the Dof core and I-box core observed in the subdomain B4 are important for 35S promoter activity; and (iii) the subdomain B2 is essential for maintaining an appropriate distance between the proximal and distal regions of the 35S promoter. These observations will aid in the development of functional synthetic 35S promoters with decreased sequence homology. Such promoters can be used to drive multiple transgenes without evoking promoter homology-based gene silencing when attempting gene stacking. 相似文献
