The mechanism of production of the various aneuploid progenies was clarified in the asynaptic amphidiploid plants (2n=34+4f+2F,
AABB) ofScilla scilloides. Its asynaptic nature and chromosomal stickiness lead to the unequal segregation at anaphase I (AI) in PMC's. The observed
values in 18 segregation patterns, 17:17 to 0: 34, were different from the expected values estimated from random segregation
of chromosomes. Nevertheless, the preferential transmission of special chromosomes among genomes A (x=8=a1−a8) and B (x=9=b1−b9) had not occurred. As the result of unequal segregation, the pollen grains with various chromosome numbers were observed.
Almost all of the 200 pollen grains contained chromosome numbers more than 17 (range 8 to 34). The observed values of each
chromosome number were roughly similar to the expected values of containing the complete set of genome A or B in the random
distribution without preferential segregation of chromosomes at AI. The difference between the index of polien mitosis and
the pollen fertility was significant in the Wilcoxon matched-pairs signed rank test and suggested the selection for some genomically
unbalanced pollen grains during maturation. Consequently, viable pollen grains with various chromosome constitutions are a
few (mean pollen fertility of 5.8%) but might produce many aneuploids by self- and cross-pollination. 相似文献

Chromosome segregation of the parental chromosomes was studied in 20 interspecific hybrid clones obtained by fusion of Mus musculus embryonic stem cells with Mus caroli splenocytes. FISH analysis with labeled species specific probes and microsatellite markers was used for identification of the parental chromosomes. Cytogenetic analysis has shown significant intra- and interclonal variability in chromosome numbers and ratios of the parental chromosomes in the hybrid cells: six clones contained all M. caroli chromosomes, nine clones showed moderate segregation of M. caroli chromosomes (from 1 to 7), and five clones showed extensive loss of M. caroli chromosomes (from 12 to complete loss of all M. caroli autosomes). Both methods demonstrated cryptic segregation of the somatic partner chromosomes. For instance, five clones with near-tetraploid chromosome sets contained only few M. caroli chromosomes (from 1 to 8). The data obtained suggest that the tetraploid chromosome set per se is not a sufficient criterion for conclusion on the absence of chromosome loss in the hybrid cells. Note that cryptic chromosome segregation occurred at a high frequency in the examined hybrid clones. Thus, cryptic segregation should be borne in mind for assessing pluripotency and genome reprogramming of embryonic stem hybrid cells.__________Translated from Ontogenez, Vol. 36, No. 2, 2005, pp. 151–158.Original Russian Text Copyright © 2005 by Pristyazhnyuk, Temirova, Menzorov, Kruglova, Matveeva, Serov. 相似文献

Fidelity in transmission of genetic characters is ensured by the faithful duplication of the genome, followed by equal segregation
of the genetic material in the progeny. Thus, alternation of DNA duplication (S-phase) and chromosome segregation during the
M-phase are hallmarks of most well studied eukaryotes. Several rounds of genome reduplication before chromosome segregation
upsets this cycle and leads to polyploidy. Polyploidy is often witnessed in cells prior to differentiation, in embryonic cells
or in diseases such as cancer. Studies on the protozoan parasite,Entamoeba histolytica suggest that in its proliferative phase, this organism may accumulate polyploid cells. It has also been shown that although
this organism contains sequence homologs of genes which are known to control the cell cycle of most eukaryotes, these genes
may be structurally altered and their equivalent function yet to be demonstrated in amoeba. The available information suggests
that surveillance mechanisms or ‘checkpoints’ which are known to regulate the eukaryotic cell cycle may be absent or altered
inE. histolytica. 相似文献

The Rice OsRad21-4, an Orthologue of Yeast Rec8 Protein,is Required for Efficient Meiosis 总被引:9,自引:0,他引:9
In yeast, Rad21/Scc1 and its meiotic variant Rec8 are key players in the establishment and subsequent dissolution of sister
chromatid cohesion for mitosis and meiosis, respectively, which are essential for chromosome segregation. Unlike yeast, our
identification revealed that the rice genome has 4 RAD21-like genes that share lower than 21% identity at polypeptide levels, and each is present as a single copy in this genome.
Here we describe our analysis of the function of OsRAD21-4 by RNAi. Western blot analyses indicated that the protein was most abundant in young flowers and less in leaves and buds
but absent in roots. In flowers, the expression was further defined to premeiotic pollen mother cells (PMCs) and meiotic PMCs
of anthers. Meiotic chromosome behaviors were monitored from male meiocytes of OsRAD21-4-deficient lines mediated by RNAi.
The male meiocytes showed multiple aberrant events at meiotic prophase I, including over-condensation of chromosomes, precocious
segregation of homologues and chromosome fragmentation. Fluorescence in situ hybridization experiments revealed that the deficient lines were defective in homologous pairing and cohesion at sister chromatid
arms. These defects resulted in unequal chromosome segregation and aberrant spore generation. These observations suggest that
OsRad21-4 is essential for efficient meiosis. 相似文献

Chromosome numbers of 114 individuals from twelve populations ofSedum aizoon L. var.aizoon (Crassulaceae) are reported. They include 37 different chromosome numbers ranging from 2n=71 to 124. Although the chromosome
number variation has been found in all populations examined, no correlation with geographical distribution could not be found.
Various kinds of meiotic irregularities, i.e., multivalents, univalents, chromosome lagging, and polysporous “tetrad” formation
have been found. These irregularities lead to the formation of gametes with various chromosome numbers. All aneuploid plants
set seeds and seem to reproduce sexually. The extensive aneuploidy in var.aizoon seems to be caused by the unequal chromosome segregation in meiosis and the subsequent fertilization of gametes with various
chromosome numbers. 相似文献

Cell cultures of Valeriana wallichii were treated with 0.05%, 0.2% and 0.5% of colchicine. The treatment with 0.05% and 0.2% colchicine resulted in well growing cultures. At the highest dose the cells died. The colchicine treatment could be repeated after six alkaloid free passages. The chromosome numbers shifted to polyploidy (n>96) under the treatment but had a strong tendency to the initial pattern.Part VI of a series on tissue cultures of Valerianaceae species. 相似文献

Protoplast cultures of Vicia hajastana have a high division frequency. However, 20–40% of the microcolonies fail to develop beyond the 20-30-cell stage. Aneuploids and polyploids were found in early divisions and persisted in older cultures. The resulting protoplast-derived suspension culture differed karyologically from the original culture. Karyokinesis and cytokinesis were studied using simultaneous staining of microtubules (MT) by immunofluorescence, DNA by Hoechst 33258 (2-[2-(4-hydroxyphenyl)-6-benzimidazoyl]-6-[1-methyl-4-piperazyl]benzimidazole) and cell walls by Calcofluor. Freshly prepared protoplasts showed mitoses and high frequencies of binucleate cells, which probably resulted mainly from failure of cytokinesis. In early divisions, many mitoses showed metaphase chromosomes with kinetochore MT but lacking polar MT. These aberrant mitoses probably accounted for an increase in hyperploid cells observed in protoplast cultures. Multipolar spindles, which gave rise to hypoploid cells, were also seen in the early divisions. Telophase abnormalities included dislocated phragmoplasts and incomplete formation of cross walls. Many divisions resulted in daughter nuclei of unequal size. Unequal segregation of chromosomes was detected by cytofluorimetric measurements of telophase nuclei stained with Hoechst. After 5 d of culture, 91% of the divisions with incomplete cross walls also contained different-size nuclei; conversely, 78% of the divisions with fully formed cross walls contained nuclei of equal size. The malfunctioning of spindles and phragmoplasts in the same cells indicates a functional interdependence of the different MT configurations in mitosis. During the first 24 h of culture, a high frequency of abnormalities was found in spindles, cross-wall formation and chromosome segregation; this was reduced substantially in the cells undergoing first division by 48 h. The data indicate that it may be possible to manipulate the frequency of abnormalities by controlling the onset of the first division in protoplast cultures.Abbreviations 2,4-D

Summary Epithelial cells cultured from bovine pancreatic ducts were given a single treatment ofN-methyl-N′-nitro-N-nitrosoguanidine (MNNG). Multinucleated cells and giant cells were observed more frequently in carcinogen-treated cultures
than in controls. The MNNG-treated cultures also contained a sizeable population of small, dense cells that were not observed
in control cultures. At the concentration of 1.0 μg/ml, MNNG caused an initial depression in the growth rate of the cells
followed by growth stimulation for several weeks. The MNNG produced chromosomal damage in the cells as indicated by the observation
that a substantial proportion of carcinogen-treated cells were heteroploid and contained a high frequency of metacentric and
submetacentric chromosomes and a dicentric marker chromosome. The MNNG treated and control cultures did not acquire the ability
to grow in soft agar or to produce tumors after transplantation into athymic, nude mice.

Somatic hybrids were produced by protoplast fusion between Arabidopsis thaliana ecotype Columbia and a male-sterile radish line MS-Gensuke (Raphanus sativus) with the Ogura cytoplasm. Forty-one shoots were differentiated from the regenerated calli and established as shoot cultures in vitro. About 20 of these shoots were judged to be hybrids based on growth characteristics and morphology. Molecular analyses of 11 shoots were performed, confirming the hybrid features. Of these 11 shoots, eight were established as rooted plants in the greenhouse. Polymerase chain reaction and randomly amplified polymorphic DNA analyses of the nuclear genomes of all analyzed shoots and plants confirmed that they contained hybrid DNA patterns. Their chromosome numbers also supported the hybrid nature of the plants. Investigations of the organelles in the hybrids revealed that the chloroplast (cp) genome was exclusively represented by radish cpDNA, while the mitochondrial DNA configuration showed a combination of both parental genomes as well as fragments unique to the hybrids. Hybrid plants that flowered were male-sterile independent of the presence of the Ogura CMS-gene orf138.Abbreviations CMS Cytoplasmic male sterilityCommunicated by M.R. Davey 相似文献

Summary Electrofusion was carried out between mesophyll protoplasts from the transformed diploid S. tuberosum clone 413 (2n=2x=24) which contains various genetic markers (hormone autotrophy, opine synthesis, kanamycin resistance, -glucuronidase activity) and mesophyll protoplasts of a diploid wild-type clone of N. plumbaginifolia (2n=2x=20). Hybrid calli were obtained after continuous culture on selection medium containing kanamycin. Parental chromosome numbers, determined at 2 months after fusion, revealed hybrid-specific differences between the individual calli. On the basis of these differences three categories of hybrids were distinguished. Category I hybrids contained between 8 and 24 potato chromosomes and more than 20 N. plumbaginifolia chromosomes; category II hybrids had between 1 and 20 N. plumbaginifolia chromosomes and more than 24 potato chromosomes; category III hybrids contained diploid or subdiploid numbers of chromosomes from both parents. The hybrids were evenly distributed over the three categories. After a 1-year culture of 24 representative hybrid callus lines on selection medium the karyotype of 10 hybrids remained stable, whereas 8 hybrids showed polyploidization of the genome of one parent, together with no or minor changes of the chromosome numbers of the other parent. Six hybrids showed slight changes in the hybrid karyotype. The elimination of chromosomes of a particular parent was not correlated to their metaphase location. The processes of spontaneous biparental chromosome elimination leading to the production of asymmetric hybrids of different categories are discussed. 相似文献

Summary Numerical and structural chromosome variation was analysed in dividing protoplasts isolated from suspension cells of barley. Five cell lines exhibited distribution patterns in chromosome number with different peaks and ranges. Embryogenic/morphogenic cell lines showed a peak at 2n = 14 (ca. 50%) after 6–7 months in culture, while older non-embryogenic cell lines had peaks at aneuploid or polyploid chromosome numbers. Culture duration had a clear effect on numerical and structural chromosome variation in embryogenic cell lines. With ageing of the cultures chromosome variation accumulated and the proportion of 2n = 14 cells decreased. The effect of protoplast isolation and culture on chromosome variation was examined; more cells with normal chromosome sets (12%) were maintained in protoplast-derived colonies than in source suspension cells (4%) of the same culture age.Abbreviations

Genome Re-duplication and Irregular Segregation Occur During the Cell Cycle of Entamoeba histolytica
Heterogeneity of genome content is commonly observed in axenic cultures of Entamoeba histolytica. Cells with multiple nuclei and nuclei with heterogenous genome contents suggest that regulatory mechanisms that ensure alternation
of DNA synthesis and mitosis are absent in this organism. Therefore, several endo-reduplicative cycles may occur without mitosis.
The data also shows that unlike other endo-reduplicating organisms, E.histolytica does not undergo a precise number of endo-reduplicative cycles. We propose that irregular endo-reduplication and genome partitioning
lead to heterogeneity in the genome content of E.histolytica trophozoites in their proliferative phase. The goal of future studies should be aimed at understanding the mechanisms that
are involved in (a) accumulation of multiple genome contents in a single nucleus; (b) genome segregation in nuclei that contain
multiple genome contents and (c) maintenance of genome fidelity in E. histolytica. 相似文献

A considerable share of bacterial species maintains multipartite genomes. Precise coordination of genome replication and segregation with cell growth and division is vital for proliferation of these bacteria. The α‐proteobacterium Sinorhizobium meliloti possesses a tripartite genome composed of one chromosome and the megaplasmids pSymA and pSymB. Here, we investigated the spatiotemporal pattern of segregation of these S. meliloti replicons at single cell level. Duplication of chromosomal and megaplasmid origins of replication occurred spatially and temporally separated, and only once per cell cycle. Tracking of FROS (fluorescent repressor operator system)‐labelled origins revealed a strict temporal order of segregation events commencing with the chromosome followed by pSymA and then by pSymB. The repA2B2C2 region derived from pSymA was sufficient to confer the spatiotemporal behaviour of this megaplasmid to a small plasmid. Altering activity of the ubiquitous prokaryotic replication initiator DnaA, either positively or negatively, resulted in an increase in replication initiation events or G1 arrest of the chromosome only. This suggests that interference with DnaA activity does not affect replication initiation control of the megaplasmids. 相似文献

Effects of growth conditions on mitochondrial morphology were studied in livingSaccharomyces cerevisiae cells by vital staining with the fluorescent dye dimethyl-aminostyryl-methylpyridinium iodine (DASPMI), fluorescence microscopy, and confocal-scanning laser microscopy. Cells from respiratory, ethanol-grown batch cultures contained a large number of small mitochondria. Conversely, cells from glucose-grown batch cultures, in which metabolism was respiro-fermentative, contained small numbers of large, branched mitochondria. These changes did not significantly affect the fraction of the cellular volume occupied by the mitochondria. Similar differences in mitochondrial morphology were observed in glucose-limited chemostat cultures. In aerobic chemostat cultures, glucose metabolism was strictly respiratory and cells contained a large number of small mitochondria. Anaerobic, fermentative chemostat cultivation resulted in the large, branched mitochondrial structures also seen in glucose-grown batch cultures. Upon aeration of a previously anaerobic chemostat culture, the maximum respiratory capacity increased from 10 to 70 µmole.min–1.g weight–1 within 10 h. This transition resulted in drastic changes of mitochondrial number, morphology and, consequently, mitochondrial surface area. These changes continued for several hours after the respiratory capacity had reached its maximum. Cyanide-insensitive oxygen consumption contributed ca. 50% of the total respiratory capacity in anaerobic cultures, but was virtually absent in aerobic cultures. The response of aerobic cultures to oxygen deprivation was qualitatively the reverse of the response of anaerobic cultures to aeration. The results indicate that mitochondrial morphology inS. cerevisiae is closely linked to the metabolic activity of this yeast: conditions that result in repression of respiratory enzymes generally lead to the mitochondrial morphology observed in anaerobically grown, fermenting cells. 相似文献

The genome ofAzotobacler vinelandii has been taggedin vivo with transposons. The cells have then been allowed to divide and the pattern of segregation of the genomes has been studied.
The results suggest the presence of multiple (possibly identical) copies of the genome inA. vinelandii. Only a fraction of the total number of genomes seem to have been tagged with transposon and an equilibrium between alleles
of the same gene with and without the transposon was evident during random segregation. 相似文献

A chromosome survey ofPoa macrocalyx growing on the coast of Hokkaido was carried out. Counts were made for 619 samples collected from 37 populations. A large
variation in the chromosome numbers (2n=42-2n=87) was disclosed, and on the basis of this and some other observations, this
species was presumed to represent an apomictic polyploid complex. Three main cytotypes with 2n=42, 2n=49 and 2n=68 were discovered.
They differed in their geographical distribution. Plants with 2n=70 and 2n=77 appeared to a considerable extent, but it could
not be ascertained whether they were good “races”. Other plants with diverse chromosome numbers, and in some cases only ephemeral,
were also sporadically detected. Infrapopulational variation was scarce in some populations while fairly common in some others.
Uneven segregation of chromosomes at meiosis and the fusion of reduced and unreduced gametes seemed to be the main factors
contributing to chromosome fluctuations within a population. 相似文献

Intertribal Brassica napus (+) Lesquerella fendleri hybrids have been produced by polyethylene glycol-induced fusions of B. napus hypocotyl and L. fendleri mesophyll protoplasts. Two series of experiments were performed. In the first, symmetric fusion experiments, protoplasts from the two materials were fused without any pretreatments. In the second, asymmetric fusion experiments, X-ray irradiation at doses of 180 and 200 Gy were used to limit the transfer of the L. fendleri genome to the hybrids. X-ray irradiation of L. fendleri mesophyll protoplasts did not suppress the proliferation rate and callus formation of the fusion products but did significantly decrease growth and differentiation of non-fused L. fendleri protoplasts. In total, 128 regenerated plants were identified as intertribal somatic hybrids on the basis of morphological criteria. Nuclear DNA analysis performed on 80 plants, using species specific sequences, demonstrated that 33 plants from the symmetric fusions and 43 plants from the asymmetric fusions were hybrids. Chloroplast and mitochondrial DNA analysis revealed a biased segregation that favoured B. napus organelles in the hybrids from the symmetric fusion experiments. The bias was even stronger in the hybrids from the asymmetric fusion experiments where no hybrids with L. fendleri organelles were found. X-ray irradiation of L. fendleri protoplasts increased the possibility of obtaining mature somatic hybrid plants with improved fertility. Five plants from the symmetric and 24 plants from the asymmetric fusion experiments were established in the greenhouse. From the symmetric fusions 2 plants could be fertilised and set seeds after cross-pollination with B. napus. From the asymmetric fusions 9 plants could be selfed as well as fertilised when backcrossed with B. napus. Chromosome analysis was performed on all of the plants but 1 that were transferred to the greenhouse. Three plants from the symmetric fusions contained 50 chromosomes, which corresponded to the sum of the parental genomes. From the asymmetric fusions, 11 hybrids contained 38 chromosomes. Among the other asymmetric hybrids, plants with 50 chromosomes and with chromosome numbers higher than the sum of the parental chromosomes were found. When different root squashes of the same plant were analysed, a total of 6 plants were found that had different chromosome numbers. 相似文献

This paper reports the occurrence of chromosome elimination during microsporogenesis in an interspecific hybrid between a sexual diploid accession (SEX) of Brachiaria ruziziensis (2n=2x=18) and an apomictic tetraploid accession (APO) of B. brizantha (2n=4x=36). Meiosis was very abnormal in the triploid hybrid (2n=3x=27); we observed a distinct asynchrony from metaphase I to the end of meiosis. The APO and the SEX genomes did not show the same meiotic rhythm. When the former, with nine bivalents, was in metaphase I, the nine SEX univalents were not yet aligned; when the latter reached the plate, the APO genome was already in anaphase. In subsequent stages, the APO genome had reached the poles while the SEX was undergoing sister-chromatid segregation. As the SEX genome always remained temporally behind, it gave rise to one extra-nucleus in each pole. In the second division, the behavior was the same but anaphase II did not occur for the SEX genome, and only one extra-nucleus was observed in each cell in telophase II. Chromosome elimination for the SEX genome ranged from partial to total. The importance of these findings with respect to Brachiaria breeding programmes is discussed. 相似文献
