航天诱导凤仙花SP4代三种不同花色突变系比较

以航天诱变凤仙花院3株系SP4代中的三种不同花色(粉花、红花、紫花)突变系为材料,对其雄配子体染色体数目、排列方式和花粉活力进行比较分析,并观察了四分孢子时期的分裂情况.将观察结果同SP1、SP2和SP3的观察结果进行跟踪比较.结果发现SP4代粉花和红花突变系的小孢子染色体数目趋向正常.紫花突变系花粉染色体数目正常比例仅为2.88%,平均为10.46条,并且紫色花突变系出现多分孢子、畸形花粉和花粉染色体排列不规则现象.TIC染色统计分析发现,紫花突变系花粉活力较低,而粉花及红花突变系的花粉活力较高.研究结果表明红花和粉花突变系已经趋于稳定,但紫花突变系远未达到稳定.本研究为凤仙花新品种(系)的选育提供了参考.     

航天诱变凤仙花小孢子母细胞减数分裂的研究

对卫星搭载凤仙花与对照组的小孢子母细胞减数分裂以及四分孢子期内的小孢子数目、形状进行了对比研究,发现经过航天搭载的凤仙花种子在第一代(SP1)植物的小孢子母细胞减数分裂中出现了染色体桥、落后染色体和分散染色体;四分孢子时期易出现多分孢子及四分孢子不分离等现象。而对照组则很难发现染色体畸变和小孢子的异常现象。     

灯盏花雄性不育种质鉴定与花药发育的细胞学研究

对云南泸西栽培灯盏花群体进行调查,发现了灯盏花雄性不育种质个体,其出现频率约为1.06×10-4.对所发现的灯盏花不育株形态特征及其花药发育过程进行了观察,并对花粉活力进行鉴定.结果显示:(1)灯盏花不育株根、茎、叶形态与正常可育植株基本相似,管状花小,花丝短,花药瘦小,无花粉粒散出或花粉无活力.(2)灯盏花在其花药发育的小孢子母细胞时期、四分体时期、小孢子时期和单核早期,由于绒毡层细胞液泡化、提前解体,不能为小孢子或花粉发育提供所需物质,导致小孢子母细胞和四分体解体,产生无花粉的花药;或小孢子和单核花粉胞内降解,形成不同形状和外壁纹饰的败育花粉.研究认为,灯盏花花药绒毡层异常是其花粉败育的主要原因.

木立芦荟小孢子母细胞减数分裂与花粉育性关系的初步研究

文章从减数分裂过程、小孢子发育两方面,探讨了木立芦荟（Aloe arboresens Mill.）花粉败育的原因。木立芦荟花粉母细胞染色体数目为2n=14,由四对长染色体和三对短染色体组成,属二型性核型。其减数分裂异常,发现存在单价体和多价体、染色体桥、落后染色体、不均等分离、微核等。同时观察到木立芦荟染色体具有极度的粘质性,使减数分裂各阶段的染色体不易散开。统计各种异常现象出现的频率并分析了这些异常现象形成的可能机制及对正常小孢子形成的影响,推测染色体间的丝状粘连可能是木立芦荟小孢子母细胞减数分裂异常并导致败育花粉产生的主要因素。成熟花粉粒中90%以上为败育花粉,属碘败型。

高梁稻早期世代

观察高粱稻早期世代的花粉母细胞减数分裂时期,发现染色体大小差别悬殊、数目紊乱及染色体落后,次级配对、不正常分组、垂直双纺锤体、多极分裂、不均等分裂、多核细胞和四分体时期多小核,四分体排列异常等各种异常现象。据此可以认为,异源植物高粱的花粉是参与了水稻的受精过程,水稻染色体组内导入了高粱的核物质。由于高度的遗传障碍,导致染色体行为的异常。本试验也说明,超属间的远缘杂交有最丰富的基因广泛交流的可能性,从而为创造新物种、新类型提供了又一途径。     

水稻雄性半不育突变体的细胞学观察

TP-2是由水稻品种台北309自然突变的雄性半不育突变体。解剖小花后观察发现,突变体花药细长,干瘪,白色透明状,雌蕊正常。花粉活力检测结果表明:突变体水稻平均花粉粒活力率为57.599%,1个花粉囊里的花粉粒平均有436粒;正常材料台北309水稻平均花粉活力率为94.177%,1个花粉囊里的花粉粒有798粒。组织切片观察发现:突变体水稻从小孢子母细胞发育到减数分裂结束,和正常株相比较在形态上无显著差异,小孢子形成初期出现异常,绒毡层快速消融,小孢子在其发育过程中因得不到营养不能正常发育,产生的小孢子干瘪,呈不规则状,同时部分小孢子产生破裂消融现象,绒毡层不能正常降解可能是导致TP-2水稻小孢子异常发育的主要原因。通过以上观察,对进一步揭示TP-2突变体的不育机制提供了基本资料,对该材料的组配奠定了基础。

Pollen vigour and composition in relation to andromonoecy in cashew (Anacardium occidentale L.: Anacardiaceae)

Summary Cashew trees produce four types of pollen from the large and small stamens of the hermaphrodite and male flower (HL, HS, ML, MS). Comparative studies were made of the grain number, structure, viability, vigour, and sugar and amino acid composition of the four pollen types. Anther and pollen grain numbers and dimensions of the four pollen types were similar, as were pollen structure and staining characteristics. The fluorescein diacetate test showed that the HL pollen had the highest percent fluorescence, and viability of all pollen types had declined by 48 h after anthesis. Following controlled hand pollination, the ML pollen had the highest capacity to germinate on the stigma and penetrate the ovule, followed by the MS, HL, and HS pollens. Glucose and fructose and 19 free amino acids were present in all pollen types, with higher levels in the hermaphrodite than in the male flower pollen. The results indicate that the pollen of the male flower is specialised for pollination and fruit set, whereas that of the hermaphrodite flower may be specialised for insect attraction.     

Characterisation of flower colouration in 30 Rhododendron species via anthocyanin and flavonol identification and quantitative traits

• Floral colour is a key reproductive character, often associated with environmental adaptation, and subject to human intervention. A large number of Rhododendron species differ widely in flower colour, providing a good model for flower colouration. The chromatic features and anthocyanin compositions of 30 species from seven subgenera were systematically analysed.
• The Royal Horticultural Society Colour Chart and CIE L*a*b* system were employed to describe and investigate flower colours. The UPLC‐PDA/ESI‐MSⁿ system was used to identify and quantify anthocyanins in petal extracts.
• The flower colours of 30 Rhododendron species were categorised into four groups – red, purplish pink, purple and white. Seven anthocyanins were identified and quantified in petals: delphinidin, cyanidin and malvidin 3‐O‐arabinoside‐5‐O‐glucosides, cyanidin 3,5‐di‐O‐glucoside, 3‐O‐galactoside and 3‐O‐arabinoside, and delphinidin 3‐O‐glucoside. The red‐flowered species mainly contained cyanidin monoglycosides and had much higher total anthocyanin content than purplish pink‐ and purple‐flowered species. Purplish pink‐ and purple‐flowered species had similar anthocyanin types and content. The chromatic differences were significant among groups, except the purplish pink and purple groups. Statistical analysis showed that Cy3Gal and Cy3Arb are characteristic for red‐flowered species, and Mv3Arb5G and Dp3Arb5G play important roles in purple colouration; their contents were major components that greatly affected the chromatic parameters. In total, 21 flavonol derivates were identified. However, total flavonol content and co‐pigmentation index showed no significant difference or correlation among/with colour groups, suggesting that flavonols might not play a major role in colouration.
• These results enhance our knowledge of the biochemical basis of flower colouration in Rhododendron species, and provide a foundation for genetic variation studies and aid in breeding cultivars with novel flower colours.

     

Cytological investigation of male sterility in sorghum caused by a dominant mutation (<Emphasis Type="Italic">Ms</Emphasis><Subscript><Emphasis Type="Italic">tc</Emphasis></Subscript>) derived from tissue culture

Male sterility mutations are an important tool in the investigation of anther and pollen development and for obtaining hybrid seeds in plant breeding. Cytological analysis of microsporo- and microgameto-genesis in sorghum plants with dominant mutation of male sterility (Ms_tc) derived from tissue culture has been carried out. Using substitution backcrosses, this mutation was introduced first into the nuclear background of the fertile sorghum line SK-723 and from this line into Volzhskoe-4w (V-4w). The mechanism of Ms_tc action on anther and pollen development differed in different nuclear backgrounds. In SK-723, phenotypic expression of Ms_tc began before the beginning of meiosis, which resulted in degeneration of sporogenous tissue in some anthers and in significant disturbances of anther morphology. In microsporocytes that did not degenerate, the frequency of non-specific meiotic abnormalities characteristic of the fertile line SK-723 significantly increased. In addition, in the mutant plants, a number of specific meiotic abnormalities--almost complete desynapsis, and formation of syncytial structures--were observed, apparently the consequence of Ms_tc action. In mono- or bi-nucleate microspores, degenerative processes resulting in formation of empty or anomalously coloured pollen grains led to almost complete male sterility. In the V-4w nuclear background, changes in anther structure and meiotic disturbances were infrequent. The degenerative processes began at the uni- or binucleate microspore stage and resulted in formation of empty or abnormally coloured pollen grains, and in partial pollen sterility. Thus, the same nuclear male sterility-inducing mutation in different nuclear backgrounds affects different stages of pollen development.

Additional betalain accumulation by genetic engineering leads to a novel flower color in lisianthus (Eustoma grandiflorum)

Betalains, comprising violet betacyanins and yellow betaxanthins, are pigments found in plants belonging to the order Caryophyllales. In this study, we induced the accumulation of betalains in ornamental lisianthus (Eustoma grandiflorum) by genetic engineering. Three betalain biosynthetic genes encoding CYP76AD1, dihydroxyphenylalanine (DOPA) 4,5-dioxygenase (DOD), and cyclo-DOPA 5-O-glucosyltransferase (5GT) were expressed under the control of the cauliflower mosaic virus (CaMV) 35S promoter in lisianthus, in which anthocyanin pigments are responsible for the pink flower color. During the selection process on hygromycin-containing media, some shoots with red leaves were obtained. However, most red-colored shoots were suppressed root induction and incapable of further growth. Only clone #1 successfully acclimatized and bloomed, producing pinkish-red flowers, with a slightly greater intensity of red color than that in wild-type flowers. T₁ plants derived from clone #1 segregated into five typical flower color phenotypes: wine red, bright pink, pale pink, pale yellow, and salmon pink. Among these, line #1-1 showed high expression levels of all three transgenes and exhibited a novel wine-red flower color. In the flower petals of line #1-1, abundant betacyanins and low-level betaxanthins were coexistent with anthocyanins. In other lines, differences in the relative accumulation of betalain and anthocyanin pigments resulted in flower color variations, as described above. Thus, this study is the first to successfully produce novel flower color varieties in ornamental plants by controlling betalain accumulation through genetic engineering.     

籼稻体细胞克隆雄性不育系54257/162-5及其保持系

本文报道了籼稻雄性不育系54257/162-5的基本特性,其母本54257及父本162-5均为离体培养起源的体细胞无性系,分别来自 IR_(54)及IR_(52)。 不育系54257/162-5已回交8代,不育株率100％,自交不结实。花粉败育方面,部分个体表现为典败,部分个体表现为染败,或典败与染败兼而有之。试验表明,不育系54257/162-5个体间这种花粉败育的“分离”并非父本不纯所致,乃该不育系固有的特点。 以114恢、测64、IR_(24)、3550、测222及丰桂6号等6个野败型不育系之恢复系与野败不育系及 54257/162-5测交,恢复程度有较大差异。只有3个(114恢、测64及测222)能使54257/162-5的育性恢复;2个(IR_(24)及3550)只能达到半恢复;有1个(丰桂6号)不仅不能恢复,而且保持了其雄性不育。这表明,不育系54257/162-5与野败不育系在细胞质上可能既有相似的一面,也有相异的一面。 讨论了保持系体细胞克隆162-5的基因型,认为它是由恢复系IR_(52)经离体培养直接变为保持系。这在体细胞无性系变异中尚属首例。
