A microsatellite sequence from the rice blast fungus (Magnaporthe grisea) distinguishes between the centromeres of Hordeum vulgare and H. bulbosum in hybrid plants.

A TC/AG-repeat microsatellite sequence derived from the rice blast fungus (Magnaporthe grisea) hybridized to all of the centromeres of Hordeum vulgare chromosomes, but hybridized faintly or not at all to the chromosomes of Hordeum bulbosum. Using this H. vulgare centromere-specific probe, the chromosomes of four F1 hybrids between H. vulgare and H. bulbosum were analyzed. The chromosome constitution in the root tips of the hybrids was mosaic, i.e., 7 (7v, H. vulgare) and 14 (7v + 7b H. bulbosum), or 14 (7v + 7b) and 27 (14v + 13b), or 7 (7v), 14 (7v + 7b), and 27 (14v + 13b). The 27-chromosome tetraploid hybrid cells were revealed to have the NOR (nucleolus organizer region) bearing chromosome of H. bulbosum in a hemizygous state, which might indicate some role for this chromosome in the chromosome instability of the hybrid condition. The chromosomal distribution showed that the chromosomes of H. vulgare were concentric and chromosomes of H. bulbosum were peripheral in the mitotic squash. This non-random chromosome distribution and the centromere-specific repeated DNA differences in the two species were discussed in relation to H. bulbosum chromosome elimination. Meiotic chromosome analyses revealed a high frequency of homoeologous chromosome pairing in early prophase. However, this chromosome pairing did not persist until later meiotic stages and many univalents and chromosome fragments resulted. These were revealed to be H. bulbosum by fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) analysis with the H. vulgare centromere-specific probe. Because the chromosome segregation of H. vulgare and H. bulbosum chromosomes at anaphase I of meiosis was random, the possibility for obtaining chromosome substitution lines in diploid barley from the diploid hybrid was discussed.     

Intergeneric hybridizations with Eremopyrum (Poaceae)

Intergeneric crosses were made between the four species of Eremopyrum (2n = 14, 28) and 16 species (2n = 14, 28, 42) from 8 genera of the Triticeae. Seed set was obtained in 22 of 42 different combinations. Only 9 resulted in progeny and only one was diploid. The hybrids were morphologically intermediate between the parents and it has been confirmed that perenniality dominates over annuality. The very low pollen fertility of the hybrids was caused by very low chromosome pairing in meiosis and supports the uniqueness of the Eremopyrum genome. Autosyndesis between the chromosomes of E. orientale is proposed and for that reason reevaluation of the relationships within Eremopyrum is needed.     

Hybridization between Taeniatherum caput-medusae and Triticum aestívum (Poaceae)

Hybrid plants were obtained in an intergeneric cross between Taenìatherum caputmedusae (2n = 2x = 14) and Triticum aestívum (2n = 6x = 42). The chromosome number was as expected 2n = 28. Morphologically the offspring looked like Triticum aestívum . Analysis of meiotic metaphase I showed an unexpected high number of bi- and trivalents which is ascribed to homoeologous pairing of chromosomes from T. aestivum . It is concluded that the genome of Taeniatherum has effects on the pairing regulation system present in T. aestívum .     

Characterization of Hordeum vulgare - Hordeum bulbosum chromosome substitution lines by restriction fragment length polymorphism analysis.

Plants obtained from crosses between Hordeum vulgare and H. bulbosum were previously analyzed cytologically and for isozyme composition. They were identified as possessing substitutions of one or more H. vulgare chromosomes by their H. bulbosum homoeologues. To confirm their constitution and assess the merits of molecular techniques, chromosome-specific probes developed for the Triticeae were hybridized to Southern blots of DNA extracted from these plants and their parents. The hybridization patterns in the substitution plants confirmed that particular chromosomes of H. vulgare were replaced by their H. bulbosum homoeologues. For most probes, heterozygosity between pairs of H. bulbosum chromosomes was recorded. A possible duplication involving H. bulbosum homoeologues of barley chromosomes 4 and 7 was observed. Although molecular and cytological methods for analyzing chromosomally engineered plants are complementary, molecular probes may uncover differences not discernible using light microscopy or isozyme analysis.     

Morphology,fertility and cytogenetics of intergeneric hybrid between Roegneria kamoji Ohwi and Dasypyrum villosum (L.) Candargy (Poaceae: Triticeae)

The intergeneric hybrids between Roegneria kamoji Ohwi and Dasypyrum villosum (L.)Candargy were successfully obtained by means of embryo culture in vitro. Studies on morphology, fertility and chromosome pairing behavior in meiosis of the parents and their hybrid F_l were carried out in the present work. The results showed that: (1) there were ob vious morphological differences between R. kamoji and D. villosum, and spikes of F_l plants were morphologically intermediate between the two parental species; (2) the seed set of the cross was 11.63%; the hybrid plant was infertile, which indicated that strong repro ductive isolation existed between the parents and R. kamoji and D. villosum were inde pendent biological species; (3) The somatic chromosome number in root-tips of F_l hybrids was 28. Chromosome pairing at MI of PMCs in F_l hybrids was quite low. The meiotic con figuration was 26.72 Ⅰ + 0.62 Ⅱ + 0.02 Ⅲ, which indicated that very low homoeology was detected between the St, H, Y genomes of R. kamoji and the V genome of D. villo- sum, and the relationship between the parental species was remote.     

Genome relationships in the genus Dasypyrum (Gramineae)

To elucidate the genome relationships in the genus Dasypyrum and the ancestry of tetraploid D. breviaristatum, two cytotypes of D. breviaristatum and D. villosum were reciprocally crossed with one another. Chromosome pairing at the first metaphase of meiosis and fertility were examined in the F1 hybrids and the parental plants. The mean pairing configuration and mean arm pairing frequency in D. villosum-D. breviaristatum (2x) hybrids were 11.12I + 1.44II per cell and 0.107, respectively, and they were almost completely sterile. In D. breviaristatum (4x)-D. breviaristatum (2x) hybrid, up to seven trivalents were formed, and the mean pairing configuration was 3.38I + 3.20II + 3.74III + 0.005IV per cell. The mean arm pairing frequency and relative affinity calculated in that F1 hybrid were 0.915 and 0.641, respectively. Seven bivalents and seven univalents were characteristically formed in D. villosum-D. breviaristatum (4x) hybrids. Based on the present results, we clearly concluded that the genome of diploid D. breviaristatum is distantly related to the genome V of D. villosum, and that these two species have different basic genomes. We, therefore, proposed the symbol Vb for the haploid genome of diploid cytotype of D. breviaristatum. Moreover, we concluded that tetraploid D. breviaristatum is an autotetraploid with doubled sets of the genomes homologous with that of diploid D. breviaristatum, and we proposed the genome constitution VbVb for the haploid genome set of tetraploid cytotype of D. breviaristatum. Furthermore, from the chromosome pairing in the F1 hybrids involving Moroccan and Greek accessions, it was suggested that complicated rearrangements of chromosome structure have occurred in tetraploid D. breviaristatum in its natural populations across the entire distribution area.     

Meiotic pairing in hybrids between tetraploid Triticale and related species: new elements concerning the chromosome constitution of tetraploid Triticale

Summary Two F5 strains of tetraploid triticale (2n= 4x=28), obtained from 6x triticaleX2 rye progenies, were crossed with diploid and tetraploid rye, some durum and bread wheats, and various 8x and 6x triticale lines. Meiosis in the different hybrid combinations was studied. The results showed that the haploid complement of these triticales consists of seven chromosomes from rye and seven chromosomes from wheat. High frequencies of PMCs showing trivalents were observed in hybrids involving the reference genotypes of wheat and triticale. These findings proved that several chromosomes from the wheat component have chromosome segments coming from two parental wheat chromosomes. The origin of these heterogeneous chromosomes probably lies in homoeologous pairing occurring at meiosis in the 6x triticaleX2x rye hybrids from which 4x triticale lines were isolated. A comparison among different hybrids combinations indicated that the involvement of D-genome chromosomes in homoeologous pairing is quite limited. In contrast, meiotic patterns in 4x triticale X 2x rye hybrids showed a quite high pairing frequency between some R chromosomes and their A and B homoeologues.

Origin,evolution and genome differentiation in Guizotia abyssinica and its wild species

Summary Genome affinities were analyzed at meiosis in C-banded metaphase-I cells of wheat x Ae. Sharonensis hybrid plants. The results showed that the most frequent type of pairing occurred between chromosomes of the A and D genomes in all plants, as well as in cells with different numbers of associations. These findings clearly indicated that Ae. Sharonensis can be excluded as the donor of the B genome of wheat.     

节节麦-簇毛麦属间杂种的形态学和细胞遗传学研究

通过远缘杂交,结合杂种幼胚离体培养,获得了节节麦（Aegilops tauschii,2n=14,DD）和簇毛麦（Dasypyrum villosum,2n=14,VV）的属间杂种F1。对杂种F1花粉母细胞减数(PMC)分裂中期Ⅰ (MⅠ)染色体配对行为进行观察发现,“节节麦×簇毛麦”杂种F1平均每PMC有1.25个棒状二价体, 染色体的平均构型为2n=14=11.49Ⅰ+1.25Ⅱ (Xta=1.25), 大部分被观察的细胞出现1～5个二价体, 表明节节麦D染色体与簇毛麦V染色体间具有相对较高的部分同源配对, D和V染色体之间存在一定的部分同源性。F1植株高度自交不育,经染色体加倍处理后能够自交结实。Abstract: ‘Aegilops tauschii×Dasypyrum villosum’ F1 hybrids were obtained by the combination of hybridization and embryo culture in vitro. Chromosome pairing behavior in meiosis of the hybrid F1 was carried out. Results showed that in an average , 1.25 rod bivalents were observed in one PMC, meiotic configuration was 2n=14=11.49Ⅰ+1.25Ⅱ(Xta=1.25) and most of PMCs possessed 1～5(rod) bivalens, indicating that the relatively high homeology was detected between the D genome of Ae.tauschii and the V genome of D.villosum. The morphological differences between F1 hybrids and their parents were significant. F1 plants were highly self-sterile, but partially self-fertile after treated by chromosome doubling technique.

Revision of Taeniatherum (Poaceae)

Three species are often accepted in Taeniatherum Nevski. Analysis of morphological characters show that indistinct limits occur between them. All taxa are found to be diploid (2n=14), with the same karyotype, but artificial hybridization shows genetical barrier to exist. For these reasons subspecific level is chosen for the taxa, viz. T. caput-medusae (L.) Nevski ssp. caput-medusae, T. caput-medusae ssp. crinitum (Schreb.) Melderis and T. caput-medusae ssp. asperum (Simk.) Melderis. Map showing known distribution of the subspecies is presented.     

Elymus与普通小麦属间杂种的细胞遗传学研究

本研究以Elymus pendulinus(Nevski)Tzvelev(2n=4x=28,SSYY)、E.shandongenisis B.Salomon(2n=4x=28,SSYY)与普通小麦(Triticum aestivum L.:2n=6x=42,AABBDD)进行了属间远缘杂交。通过对杂种胚的离体培养,两个组合均产生了杂种F_1植株。杂种F_1为多年生,植株生长旺盛;形态上介于亲本种之间而兼具双亲的某些特征;穗状花序发育正常,但均完全不育。两个组合的根尖和花粉母细胞染色体数目为2n-5x=35。通过对杂种减数分裂染色体配对行为的分析,发现其MI染色体的配对水平很低,二价体均为棒状,每细胞的平均染色体交叉数在0.25-0.31之间。这表明E.pendulinus t E.shandongensis 所含的SY染色体组与普通小麦的ABD染色体之间的同源程度很低。由于在E.shandongeasis 及其它具有SY染色体组的Elymus 单倍体中,SY染色体组之间的部份同源染色体配对数均明显高于该杂种中的配对数,这表明存在于普通小麦中的ph基因及其它具类似作用的基因系统能抑制SY染色体组之间的部份同源染色体配对。     

Meiosis and fertility of reciprocal triploid hybrids of Lolium multiflorum with Festuca pratensis

Diploid and tetraploid forms of Lolium multiflorum and Festuca pratensis were crossed under controlled conditions and after embryo rescue all four combinations of autoallotriploid hybrids were obtained. Male and female fertility and chromosome pairing at metaphase I of meiosis were studied in several plants from each hybrid combination. The hybrids with two genomes of L. multiflorum and one of F. pratensis (genomic formulae LmLmFp and FpLmLm) were male and female fertile while the hybrids with two genomes of F. pratensis and one of L. multiflorum had a reduced fertility (FpFpLm) or were completely sterile (LmFpFp). Chromosome pairing at metaphase I varied among hybrid combinations depending on their genomic composition. LmLmFp and FpLmLm hybrids had similar patterns of pairing (1.83I + 5.29II + 2.85III and 2.22I + 5.22II + 2.75III, respectively) but they differed from those of FpFpLm (3.65I + 4.65II + 2.68III) and especially from LmFpFp (4.78I + 5.87II + 1.49III). Conventional analysis of meiosis failed to explain the differences in chromosome behaviour and fertility/sterility levels between the autoallotriploid hybrids with two Lolium or two Festuca genomes.     

Specific Isozyme Marker of a Virus Resistant Barley Derived from Interspecies Cross Between Hordeum vulgare and H. bulbosum

A diploid barley cultivar "Supi 1" was crossed with a tetraploid Hordeum bulbosum “GBC141” to transfer the disease resistant traits. Eleven viable triploid F1 plants were produced by means of embryo rescue technique. The resulting triploid hybrids were backcrossed to diploid barley, and seven BC1 plants were obtained. One of the BC1 plants exhibited barley yellow mosaic virus (BaYMV) resistance when grown in the diseased nursery. Isozyme analysis of H. vulgate, H. bulbosum and their backcross hybrids were made via slab polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis technique. The primary results showed that zymogram variation could be obviously found between diploid barley "Supi 1' and tetraploid H. bulbosurn "GBC141”. A peroxidase isozyme (Rf=0.47) from H. bulbosum was detected in the peroxidase isozyme zymogram of young roots of backcross hybrid BC1-2. This peroxidase isozyme was related to the BaYMV resistance but the linkage relation will be determined by the genetic analysis of the F2 population in the future. The BaYMV resistant line of the backcross with isozyme marker is the important resource of barley disease-resistant breeding.     

应用原位杂交技术对小麦—黑麦代换系间杂交的细胞遗传研究

应用原位杂交技术结合染色体组型分析方法,对两个小麦-黑麦异源双代换系5R/5A和6R/6A杂交后代的遗传进行了研究,探讨同祖染色体配对的可能性并获得小麦-黑麦易位系。实验中对杂种F1代植株减数分裂各时期的花粉母细胞染色体行为进行分析,结果发现有22.91%的花粉母细胞中黑麦染色体与小麦染色体发生同祖配对。F2代通过C-分带、原位杂交鉴定,在45株中检测到9株易位,易位频率为20%,是目前报道易位频率最高的。染色体易位有的来源于同祖配对交换,有的来源于单价体错分裂或断裂的重建。     

Production,morphology, and cytogenetics of Triticum aestivum (L.) Thell × Elymus scabrus (R. Br.) Love intergeneric hybrids obtained by in ovulo embryo culture

Summary Intergeneric hybrids were produced between common wheat, Triticum aestivum (2n=6x=42, AABBDD), and an apomictic Triticeae species, Elymus scabrus (syn. Agropyron scabrum) (2n=6x=42, HHSSSS), the first successful report of this cross. Nine tiny, underdeveloped, and structureless embryos were obtained in vitro only by in ovulo embryo culture at 4 days after pollination, which gave rise to five mature hybrid plants. All the hybrid plants were vigorous and possessed a phenotype intermediate to the two parents. There were 2n=6x=42 (ABDHSS) somatic chromosomes in the hybrids. There was little or no homology between the parental genomes, as shown by an overall meiotic chromosome association of 32.83 I + 4.08 rod II + 0.21 ring II + 0.18 III + 0.02 IV. The hybrids were completely sterile and so far backcrosses to wheat parent have not been successful. Alternate approaches to induce gene transfer(s) from E. scabrus to wheat are being attempted.Agriculture Canada Contribution No. 398.

Genomic in situ hybridization analysis of a trigenomic hybrid involving Solanum and Lycopersicon species.

A 4x potato (+) tomato fusion hybrid (2n = 4x = 48) was successfully backcrossed with a diploid Lycopersicon pennellii (2n = 2x = 24). Genomic in situ hybridization (GISH) on somatic and meiotic chromosomes confirmed that the progenies were triploids (2n = 3x = 36) and possessed three different genomes: potato, tomato, and L. pennellii. Therefore, they have been called trigenomic hybrids. Total genomic probes of both Lycopersicon species were found to hybridize mutually, whereas the potato genome was clearly differentiated. During metaphase I, bivalents were formed predominantly between tomato and L. pennellii chromosomes and the univalents of potato chromosomes were most common. Trivalents in all cases included homoeologous chromosomes of potato, tomato, and L. pennellii. However, the triploids were totally sterile as determined from extensive crossing. On chromosome doubling of triploids by shoot regeneration from callus, hexaploids (2n = 6x = 72) were obtained. Despite exhibiting clear allohexaploid behaviour by forming 36 bivalents at meiosis, these were also completely sterile like their triploid counterparts. In spite of this drawback, the prospects of chromosome pairing between potato L. pennellii and Solanum genomes does open the possibilities for bringing the two genera close.     

小麦-黑麦代换系5A/5R与6A/6R杂交诱导同祖染色体配对与易位的研究

利用两个小麦-黑麦异源双代换系DS 5A/5R与DS 6A/6R杂交,探讨同祖染色体配对的可能性与创制小麦黑麦异源易位系.在方法上对杂种F1的减数分裂行为进行研究,观察5R与5A、6R与6A配对频率,探讨同祖染色体配对规律.实验结果看到杂交F1减数分裂中有22.91%的花粉母细胞有小麦染色体(ABD组)与黑麦染色体(R组)发生同祖配对.在F2及以后世代,通过染色体C分带、原位杂交检测,选择小麦-黑麦易位系.在F2代的45株中检测到9株有易位,易位频率为20%,是目前小麦-黑麦染色体易位频率最高的.染色体易位有的来源于同祖配对的交换,有的来源于单价体错分裂或断裂的重建.
