Microspore culture for the purpose of developing doubled haploid plants is routine for numerous plant species; however, the
embryo yield is still very low compared with the total available microspore population. The ability to select and isolate
highly embryogenic microspores would be desirable for high embryo yield in microspore culture. To maximize the efficiency
of canola microspore culture, a combination of bud size selection and microspore fractionation using a Percoll gradient was
followed. This approach has consistently given high embryo yields and uniform embryo development. Microspores isolated from
buds 1.5 to 4.4 mm in length of Brassica napus genotypes Topas 4079, DH12075, Westar and 0025 formed embryos at different frequencies. The most embryogenic bud size range
varied with each cultivar: Topas 4079 3.5–3.9 mm, DH12075 2.0–2.4 mm, and Westar and 0025 2.5–2.9 mm. When the microspores
from 2.0 to 2.4 mm buds of DH12075 were carefully layered on top of a discontinuous Percoll gradient of 10, 20 and 40%, and
subsequently spun through the Percoll layers by centrifugation, bands were formed containing populations of microspores of
uniform developmental stage. The middle layer of the gradient contained the late uninucleate and early binucleate microspores
that were the most embryogenic. In addition, the relationship between the bud size, developmental stage of isolated microspores,
Percoll gradient concentration and the embryogenic frequency of each cultivar were studied. Optimization of these factors
is required for each genotype evaluated. 相似文献

Scanning electron microscopy was employed to study and compare microspore embryogenesis in vitro with pollen development in planta inBrassica napus andB. oleracea. An exine with its specific pattern had already been formed, when microspores were released from tetrads. During subsequent pollen development, microspores increased in size and continued to strengthen the exine. Upon in vitro culture, all microspores, i.e., embryogenic and nonembryogenic, initially showed the same morphological features. After 24 h in culture, the microspores had increased in size. Thereafter, embryogenesis was indicated in some microspores by two different morphological changes. One featured an expansion in volume of the cell cluster around the germination aperture (type I), the other showed cell cluster volume expansion over the entire microspore surface (type II). Two-thirds of embryogenic microspores in bothB. napus andB. oleracea demonstrated type I development. When followed by fluorescence microscopy, in vitro culture of microspores revealed cultures with a high embryo frequency were those with a high frequency of symmetrical division.Abbreviations

A large, heterogeneous, highly expressed gene family encoding oleosin-like proteins is described in the Brassicaceae. íeven related cDNA sequences were isolated from Brassica napus anther mRNA using RACE-PCR and compared with other recently described anther-specific oleosin-like genes from B. napus. The expression patterns of four representative members of this diverse gene family were analyzed by Northern blotting and in situ hybridization. In all cases, the genes were expressed specifically in the tapetum of 3–5 mm B. napus buds, which contained microspores at the late-vacuolate and bicellular stages of development. The predicted protein products are ordered into subclasses, each of which has a characteristic C-terminal domain, containing different amino acid motifs or repeated residues. Tryphine (pollen coat) fractions from mature B. napus pollen were found to be particularly enriched in polypeptides of apparent molecular weights 32–38 kDa, plus numerous less abundant polypeptides of less than 15 kDa. The N-terminal 15–20 residues of three of these polypeptides (12, 32 and 38 kDa) were found by microsequencing to be identical to parts of the predicted amino acid sequences of three of the tapetal-expressed oleosin-like genes. This indicates the possibility of post-translational modification of these proteins resulting in a cleavage of the primary translation products in order to generate the mature tryphine polypeptides. These data imply that a large and diverse group of oleosin-like proteins is synthesized in the tapeturn of B. napus anthers and that following tapetal degradation, these proteins, possibly in modified form, then relocate to the developing microspores where they eventually constitute some of the major components of the extracellular tryphine of mature pollen grains. These proteins share a conserved 70 amino acid residue hydrophobic domain and are related structurally to the seed-specific intracellular oleosins, although their biological function may be different. 相似文献

Valeriana scandens presents perfect and pistillate flowers, the latter with sterile anthers. The species is composed of two varieties with different
ploidy; V. scandens var. scandens (2n = 28) and V. scandens var. candolleana (2n = 56), both of which occur in RS, Brazil. Crosses between these varieties may give rise to hybrids with pollen sterility.
In this study, we analyzed the microsporogenesis and microgametogenesis of sterile and fertile anthers, and also investigate
whether pollen sterility is caused by an irregular meiotic process. Developmental analysis using light microscopy and scanning
electron microscopy showed that sterile anthers develop similarly to fertile anthers until the end of meiosis. After this
stage, sterile tetrads do not separate as a consequence of exine fusion between adjacent microspores, which is similar to
sterile pollen of Brassica ms-cdl1 mutants. In addition, vacuolated immature pollen grains degenerate after separation. The cytogenetic analysis of the microspore
mother cell (MMC) showed that the diploid population of V. scandens var. scandens (2n = 28) has pollen sterility that is not caused by a cytogenetic disturbance. The MMCs analyzed from prophase I to tetrad
stage showed a regular meiotic process, indicating the phenotype of V. scandens sterile pollen is a postmeiotic process formed by fusion of exine between opposite microspores. 相似文献

Intertribal somatic hybrids between Brassica napus (2n = 38, AACC) and a dye and medicinal plant Isatis indigotica (2n = 14, II) were obtained by fusions of mesophyll protoplasts. From a total of 237 calli, only one symmetric hybrid (S2) and
five asymmetric hybrids (As1, As4, As6, As7 and As12) were established in the field. These hybrids showed some morphological
variations and had very low pollen fertility. Hybrids S2 and As1 possessed 2n = 52 (AACCII), the sum of the parental chromosomes, and As12 had 2n = 66 (possibly AACCIIII). Hybrids As4, As6 and As7 were mixoploids (2n = 48–62). Genomic in situ hybridization analysis revealed that pollen mother cells at diakinesis of As1 contained 26 bivalents
comprising 19 from B. napus and 7 from I. indigotica and mainly showed the segregation 26:26 at anaphase I (AI) with 7 I. indigotica chromosomes in each polar group. Four BC1 plants from As1 after pollinated by B. napus resembled mainly B. napus in morphology but also exhibited some characteristics from I. indigotica. These plants produced some seeds on selfing or pollination by B. napus. They had 2n = 45 (AACCI) and underwent pairing among the I. indigotica chromosomes and/or between the chromosomes of two parents at diakinesis. All hybrids mainly had the AFLP banding patterns
from the addition of two parents plus some alterations. B. napus contributed chloroplast genomes in majority of the hybrids but some also had from I. indigotica. Production of B. napus–I. indigotica additions would be of considerable importance for genome analysis and breeding. 相似文献

Isolation and characterization of a polygalacturonase gene highly expressed in Brassica napus pollen 总被引:6,自引:0,他引:6

A cDNA clone, Sta 44-4, corresponding to a mRNA highly expressed in Brassica napus cv. Westar stamens, was isolated by differential screening and characterized. Northern blot and in situ analyses demonstrated that Sta 44-4 is synthesized in pollen beginning at the late uninucleate stage and reaches a maximum in trinucleate microspores. Sta 44-4 displayed significant sequence similarity to known pollen polygalacturonase genes. The B. napus pollen polygalacturonase gene was shown to be part of a small gene family and to display some polymorphism among different cultivars. 相似文献

Background
To provide a broad analysis of gene expression changes in developing embryos from a solanaceous species, we produced amplicon-derived microarrays with 7741 ESTs isolated from Solanum chacoense ovules bearing embryos from all developmental stages. Our aims were to: 1) identify genes expressed in a tissue-specific and temporal-specific manner; 2) define clusters of genes showing similar patterns of spatial and temporal expression; and 3) identify stage-specific or transition-specific candidate genes for further functional genomic analyses. 相似文献11.

mRNAs encoding putative oleosins have been detected in the tapetum of developing anthers in Brassica and Arabidopsis, but the authentic proteins have not been previously documented. Antibodies against a synthetic 15-residue polypeptide that represents a portion of the putative tapetum oleosins encoded by two cloned Brassica napus genes were raised. Using these antibodies for immunoblotting after SDS-PAGE of the sporophytic extracts of B. napus developing anthers, two oleosins of ~ 48 and 45 kDa were detected. These two oleosins were judged to be the putative oleosins encoded by cloned Brassica genes because of their identical N-terminal sequences. The two oleosins were present in the anthers only during the developmental stage when the tapetum cells were packed with organelles. A fraction of low-density organelles was isolated from the developing anthers by flotation centrifugation. The fraction contained plastoglobule-filled plastids and lipid-containing particles. The structures of these two isolated organelles were similar to those in situ in the tapetum cells. Of subcellular fractions of the anther homogenate, the two oleosins were present exclusively in the low-density organelle fraction. They were absent in the surface fractions of the developing microspores and the mature pollen, although fragmented oleosin molecules were earlier reported to be present on the pollen. By immunocytochemistry, immunogold particles were found largely on the periphery of the plastoglobuli inside the plastids in the tapetum cells. The antibodies also detected oleosins on the surface of storage oil bodies inside the maturing microspores. Apparently, the gametophytic microspore oil-body oleosins share common epitopes at the generally non-conserved C-terminal domain with the sporophytic tapetum oleosins. 相似文献

Studies were undertaken with one olive (Olea europaea L.) cultivar to identify buds with microspores competent to embryogenesis in vitro. Isolated microspore cultures were performed for the induction of gametic embryogenesis. Different pollen development stages
and stress conditions (heat or cold shock) were evaluated. The correlation of inflorescence, anther morphology and the suitable
stage of microspore development were analysed. The morphology of responsive buds was identified which corresponded with microspores
from the late uni-nucleate to early bi-nucleate pollen stages. Symmetrical divisions of microspores as well as resulting multinucleate
structures and pro-embryos were observed. In this paper, a new method of isolated microspore culture that leads to cell division
and pro-embryos in olive, is reported. 相似文献

Microspore development inBrassica napus and the effect of high temperature on division in vivo and in vitro 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Summary
Brassica napus cv. Topas microspores isolated and cultured near the first pollen mitosis and subjected to a heat treatment develop into haploid embryos at a frequency of about 20%. In order to obtain a greater understanding of the induction process and embryogenesis, transmission electron microscopy was used to study the development of pollen from the mid-uninucleate to the bicellular microspore stage. The effect of 24 h of high temperature (32.5 °C) on microspore development was examined by heat treating microspore cultures or entire plants. Mid-uninucleate microspores contained small vacuoles. Late-uninucleate vacuolate microspores contained a large vacuole. The large vacuole of the vacuolate stage was fragmented into numerous small vacuoles in the late-uninucleate stage. The late-uninucleate stage contained an increased number of ribosomes, a pollen coat covering the exine and a laterally positioned nucleus. Prior to the first pollen mitosis the nucleus of the lateuninucleate microspore appeared to be appressed to the plasma membrane; numerous perinuclear microtubules were observed. Microspores developing into pollen divided asymmetrically to form a large vegetative cell with amyloplasts and a small generative cell without plastids. The cells were separated by a lens-shaped cell wall which later diminished. At the late-bicellular stage the generative cell was observed within the vegetative cell. Starch and lipid reserves were present in the vegetative cell and the rough endoplasmic reticulum and Golgi were abundant. The microspore isolation procedure removed the pollen coat, but did not redistribute or alter the morphology of the organelles. Microspores cultured at 25 °C for 24 h resembled late-bicellular microspores except more starch and a thicker intine were present. A more equal division of microspores occurred during the 24 h heat treatment (32.5 °C) of the entire plant or of cultures. A planar wall separated the cells of the bicellular microspores. Both daughter cells contained plastids and the nuclei were of similar size. Cultured embryogenie microspores contained electron-dense deposits at the plasma membrane/cell wall interface, vesicle-like structures in the cell walls and organelle-free regions in the cytoplasm. The results are related to embryogenesis and a possible mechanism of induction is discussed.Abbreviations B

Microspores of Brassica napus L. cv. Topas, undergo embryogenesis when cultured at 32.5 °C for the first 18–24 h and then at 25 °C. The first division
in heat-treated microspores is a symmetric division in contrast to the asymmetric division found after the first pollen mitosis
in-planta or in microspores cultured continuously at 25 °C. This asymmetric division is unique in higher plants as it results
in daughter cells separated by a non-consolidated wall. The cytoskeleton has an important role in such morphological changes.
We examined microtubule (MT) organization during the first 24 h of heat induction in the embryogenic B. napus cv. Topas and the non-embryogenic B. napus breeding line 0025. Preprophase bands (PPBs) of MTs appeared in cv. Topas microspores in late uninucleate microspores and
in prophase figures after 4–8 h of heat treatment. However, more than 60% of the PPBs were not continuous bands. In contrast,
PPBs were never observed in pollen mitosis; MT strands radiated from the surface of the nuclear envelope throughout microspore
maturation to the end of prophase of pollen mitosis I, during in-planta development and in microspores cultured at 25 °C.
Following 24 h of heat treatment, over 95% of the microspores appeared to have divided symmetrically as indicated by the similar
size of the daughter nuclei, but only 7–16% of the microspores eventually formed embryos. Discontinuous walls were observed
in more than 50% of the divisions and it is probable that the discontinuous PPBs gave rise to such wall abnormalities which
may then obstruct embryo development. Preprophase bands were not formed in heat-treated microspores of the non-embryogenic
line 0025 and the ensuing divisions showed discontinuous walls. It is concluded that the appearance of PPBs in heat-induced
microspores marks sporophytic development and that continuous PPBs are required for cell wall consolidation and embryogenesis.
It follows that induced structures with two equally condensed nuclei, do not necessarily denote symmetric divisions.

Male sterility in a near-isogenic line S45AB after 25 generations of subcrossing is controlled by two pairs of duplicate genes.
The genotype of S45A is Bnms1Bnms1Bnms2Bnms2, and that of S45B is BnMs1Bnms1Bnms2Bnms2, respectively. Histological observations revealed that abnormal anther development appeared in the tapetum and pollen exine
during the tetrad stage. This male sterility was characterized by hypertrophy of the tapetal cells at the tetrad stage and
a complete lack of microspore exine after the release of microspores from the tetrads. To elucidate the mechanism of this
recessive genic male sterility, the flower bud expression profiles of the S45A and S45B lines were analyzed using an Arabidopsis thaliana ATH1 oligonucleotide array. When compared with the S45B line, 69 genes were significantly downregulated, and 46 genes were
significantly upregulated in the S45A line. Real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR) was then used to verify the results
of the microarray analysis, and the majority of the downregulated genes in the S45A line were abundantly and specifically
expressed in the anther. The results of the real-time PCR suggest that Bnms1 might be involved in the metabolism of lipid/fatty acids, and the homologous mutation of Bnms1 may either block the biosynthesis of sporopollenin or block sporopollenin from being deposited on the microspore surface,
thus, preventing pollen exine formation. The role of Bnms1 in the regulatory network of exine formation is also discussed as well.

Small heat shock proteins are differentially regulated during pollen development and following heat stress in tobacco 总被引:2,自引:2,他引:0
In plants small heat shock proteins (sHsp) are abundantly expressed upon heat stress in vegetative tissue, however, sHsp expression is also developmentally induced in pollen. The developmental induction of sHsp has been related to the potential for stress-induced microspore embryogenesis. We investigated the polymorphism among sHsp and their expression during pollen development and after heat stress in tobacco. Real-time RT-PCR was used for quantification of mRNA of two known and nine newly isolated cDNAs representing cytosolic sHsp. At normal temperature most of these genes are not transcribed in vegetative tissues, however, all genes were expressed during pollen development. Low levels of mRNAs were found for sHsp-1A and -1B in early-unicellular stage, increasing four to sevenfold in mature pollen. Nine other genes are up-regulated in unicellular and down-regulated in bicellular pollen; three these genes show stage-specific expression. Western analysis revealed that cytosolic class I and II sHsp are developmentally expressed during all stages of pollen development. Different subsets of cytosolic sHsp genes are expressed in a stage-specific fashion suggesting that certain sHsp genes may play specific roles in early, others during later stages of pollen development. Heat stress results in a relatively weak and incomplete response in pollen: (i) the heat-induced levels of mRNA (excepting sHsp-2B, −3Cand -6) are much lower than in leaves, (ii) several sHsp are not detected after heat stress in pollen, although, they are heat-inducibly expressed in leaves. Application of heat stress, cold, and starvation, which induce microspore embryogenesis, modify mRNA levels and the patterns of 2-D-separated sHsp, but only heat stress enhances the expression of sHsp in microspores. There is no correlation of the expression of specific sHsp with the potential for microspore embryogenesis.Electronic supplementary material Electronic supplementary material is available for this article at

Summary The study of the formation of pollen in plants has been the focus of extensive morphologic and cytologic observations. This
complex developmental process requires the coordinated activity of both gametophytic and sporophytic tissues. The events that
occur during microspore development represent a carefully orchestrated program of physiologic, biochemical, and genetic activities.
Genes expressed specifically in pollen or in sporophytic tissues that support pollen development have only recently been identified
and desribed. In the present paper we describe several genes expressed during pollen development in the important oil seed
speciesBrassica napus (oil seed rape/canola). The characterization of three gene families expressed during microspore development is reviewed which
provides a basis for comparison with other genes expressed during pollen maturation. The, potential value of these genes for
the development of novel plant breeding strategies and hybrid seed production is discussed.

Brassica napus L. microspores at the late uninucleate to early binucleate stage of development can be induced in vitro to alter their development from pollen to embryo formation. High temperatures or other stress treatments are required to initiate this redirection process. The critical period for induction of microspore embryogenesis is within the first 8 h of temperature-stress imposition. During this period, which precedes the first embryogenic nuclear division, the process regulating the induction and sustainment of microspore embryogenesis is activated. A number of mRNAs and proteins, some of them possibly heat-shock proteins, appear in microspores during the commitment phase of the induction process.Abbreviations SDS
