The chromosomes of the two closely related diploid species, Gibasis consobrina and G. karwinskyana (Commelinaceae; 2n=2x=10), are morphologically alike, yet form few chiasmate associations at metaphase I in the f1 hybrid. During meiotic prophase, however, synaptonemal complexes join the majority of the chromosomes of the complement in complex multiple pairing configurations. The F1 hybrid between different tetraploid genotypes of the same two species similarly forms multivalents during meiotic prophase, which are subsequently eliminated in favour of strictly homologous bivalents before metaphase I. One quadrivalent comprising interchange chromosomes inherited from one of the parents, usually persists to first metaphase. Evidently the resolution of multivalents to bivalents at first metaphase, which accounts for diploidisation, is not attributable to the elimination of multivalents per se, but of multivalents comprising chromosomes of limited homology. 相似文献

Jaranowski , J. K. (Coll. of Agriculture, ul. Wojska Polskiego 71c, Poznan, Poland.) Semisterility in the interspecific hybrid Melilotus polonica × M. alba. Amer. Jour. Bot. 48(1): 28–35. Illus. 1961.—Interspecific hybrids between Melilotus polonica (n = 8) and M. alba (n = 8) are readily secured. The F1 hybrids are intermediate between the parents and partially sterile with a mean percentage of 58.8 (ranging from 46.8 to 72.6) defective pollen grains. Six bivalents and a chain or ring of 4 chromosomes occur at diakinesis and metaphase-I of microsporogenesis. A crossshaped configuration characteristic of a reciprocal translocation is present at pachytene, indicating that one of the parents is homozygous for an interchange of relatively large section between two of the members of the chromosome complex. Chromosome bridges, lagging chromosomes, movement of the univalents to the same pole and precocious division of the univalents lead to aberrant chromosome distribution during the course of meiosis. Reduction in self-fertility indicates a corresponding aberrant distribution of chromosomes during megasporogenesis. Pollen sterility in the F2 generation ranged from 24.8% to 72.5% with a mean value of 54.6%. Two plants in the F2 generation which had relatively low pollen sterility proved to be aneuploids (2n + 1). Meiotic irregularities in the F2 plants were comparable to those exhibited by the F1 plants. 相似文献

Dwarfing polish wheat is a dwarfing accession of Triticum polonicum L. from Xinjiang of China. In the present study, the artificial hybridization between dwarfing polish wheat and two accessions
of Aegilops tauschii Cosson. (AS60 and AS65) was carried out, and the F1 hybrids were obtained successfully without using embryo rescue techniques for the first time. The crossabilities of hybrids
T. polonicum × Ae. tauschii (AS60) and T. polonicum × Ae. tauschii (AS65) were 1.67% and 0.60% respectively. Only the hybrids of T. polonicum × Ae. tauschii (AS60) germinated well, and 24 F1 hybrid plants were obtained. All the F1 hybrid plants grew vigorously, and the morphological traits were similar to bread wheat. The F1 plants had some obvious traits inherited from T. polonicum and Ae. tauschii and were completely sterile. Chromosome pairing in the hybrid was characterized by a large number of univalents, with an
average of 20.56 and 0.22 bivalents per PMC, and no ring bivalents and multivalents were observed. Furthermore, the potential
value of the F1 hybrids between T. polonicum and Ae. tauschii for studying wheat origin and breeding are discussed.

Lotus corniculatus L. (Fabaceae) is a natural tetraploid of probably hybrid origin, which regularly forms bivalents at metaphase I of meiosis. Whole-mount surface-spreading of synaptonemal complexes (SCs) under the electron microscope reveals that diploidisation of this spccies is achieved not by exclusive pairing of homologues during meiotic prophase, but by the elimination of multivalents in favour of bivalents before metaphase I. Observations show that 43% of multivalents are eliminated between zygotene and pachytene, presumably by dissolution and reassembly of SCs between homologous chromosomes. A further 63% are eliminated between pachytene and diakinesis, with a commensurate increase in the number of univalents. Elimination ensures few multivalents reach first metaphase and effectively diploidises this tetraploid. 相似文献

Summary This study was conducted with the objective of determining the genomic relationship between cultivated soybean (Glycine max) and wild soybean (G. soja) of the subgenus Soja, genus Glycine. Observations on cross-ability rate, hybrid viability, meiotic chromosome pairing, and pollen fertility in F
1 hybrids of G. max × G. soja and reciprocals elucidated that both species hybridized readily and set mature putative hybrid pods, generated vigorous F1 plants, had a majority of sporocytes that showed 18II + 1IV chromosome association at diakinesis and metaphase I, and had a pollen fertility that ranged from 49.2% to 53.3%. A quadrivalent was often associated with the nucleolus, suggesting that one of the chromosomes involved in the interchange is a satellited chromosome. Thus, G. max and G. soja genetic stocks used in this study have been differentiated by a reciprocal translocation. Pachytene analysis of F1 hybrids helped construct chromosome maps based on chromosome length and euchromatin and heterochromatin distribution. Chromosomes were numbered in descending order of 1–20. Pachytene chromosomes in soybean showed heterochromatin distribution on either side of the centromeres. Pachytene analysis revealed small structural differences for chromosomes 6 and 11 which were not detected at diakinesis and metaphase I. This study suggests that G. max and G. soja carry similar genomes and validates the previously assigned genome symbol GG.Research supported in part by the Illinois Agricultural Experiment Station and U.S. Department of Agriculture Competitive Research Grant (85-CRCR-1-1616) 相似文献

Oryza australiensis, a diploid wild relative of cultivated rice, is an important source of resistance to brown planthopper (BPH) and bacterial blight (BB). Interspecific hybrids between three breeding lines of O. sativa (2n=24, AA) and four accessions of O. australiensis (2n=24, EE) were obtained through embryo rescue. The crossability ranged from 0.25% to 0.90%. The mean frequency of bivalents at diakinesis/metaphase I in F1 hybrids (AE) was 2.29 to 4.85 with a range of 0–8 bivalents. F1 hybrids were completely male sterile. We did not obtain any BC1 progenies even after pollinating 20,234 spikelets of AE hybrids with O. sativa pollen. We crossed the artificially induced autotetraploid of an elite breeding line (IR31917-45-3-2) with O. australiensis (Acc. 100882) and, following embryo rescue, produced six F1 hybrid plants (AAE). These triploid hybrids were backcrossed to O. sativa. The chromosome number of 16 BC1 plants varied from 28 to 31, and all were male sterile. BC2 plants had 24–28 chromosomes. Eight monosomic alien addition lines (MAALs) having a 2n chromosome complement of O. sativa and one chromosome of O. australiensis were selected from the BC2 F2 progenies. The MAALs resembled the primary trisomies of O. sativa in morphology, and on the basis of this morphological similarity the MAALs were designated as MAAL-1, -4, -5, -7, -9, -10, -11, and -12. The identity of the alien chromosome was verified at the pachytene stage of meiosis. The alien chromosomes paired with the homoeologous pairs to form trivalents at a frequency of 13.2% to 24.0% at diakinesis and 7.5% to 18.5% at metaphase I. The female transmission rates of alien chromosomes varied from 4.2% to 37.2%, whereas three of the eight MAALs transmitted the alien chromosome through the male gametes. BC2 progenies consisting of disomic and aneuploid plants were examined for the presence of O. australiensis traits. Alien introgression was detected for morphological traits, such as long awns, earliness, and Amp-3 and Est-2 allozymes. Of the 600 BC2 F4 progenies 4 were resistant to BPH and 1 to race 6 of BB. F3 segregation data suggest that earliness is a recessive trait and that BPH resistance is monogenic recessive in two of the four lines but controlled by a dominant gene in the other two lines. 相似文献

Two species of lemur, Lemur macaco and Lemur coronatus, which do not hybridize in the wild, have produced a first, “definite” female hybrid in captivity. Its karyotype contains one haploid set from each parent. The analogy with the parental chromosomes is such that the pairing of the corresponding chromosomal arms leads to the formation of an open chain and a ring. The difficulty in obtaining hybrids between these two species could reflect the existence of a prezygotic barrier. The presence of multivalents, with probably a negative action on the gametogenesis, would introduce a postzygotic barrier. 相似文献

The genetic composition of a hybrid zone can provide insight into the evolution of diversification in plants. We carried out morphological and amplified fragment length polymorphism analyses to investigate the genetic composition of a hybrid zone between two violets, Viola bissetii Hemsl. and Viola rossii Maxim. Our aim was to clarify the formation and maintenance of hybrids between these Viola species. We found that most hybrid individuals (V. bissetii × V. rossii) were of the F1 generation, with a few of the F2 generation. We found no backcrosses. The scarcity of post‐F1 hybrids indicates that a species barrier is established between the parental species. The F1‐dominated hybrid zone occupied only a narrow, intermediate ecotone between the parental habitats, suggesting that selection by environmental factors against hybrids may help to maintain the current conditions in this hybrid zone. 相似文献

The level of transgene expression in crop × weed hybrids and the degree to which crop-specific genes are integrated into hybrid populations are important factors in assessing the potential ecological and agricultural risks of gene flow associated with genetic engineering. The average transgene zygosity and genetic structure of transgenic hybrid populations change with the progression of generations, and the green fluorescent protein (GFP) transgene is an ideal marker to quantify transgene expression in advancing populations. The homozygous T1 single-locus insert GFP/Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) transgenic canola (Brassica napus, cv Westar) with two copies of the transgene fluoresced twice as much as hemizygous individuals with only one copy of the transgene. These data indicate that the expression of the GFP gene was additive, and fluorescence could be used to determine zygosity status. Several hybrid generations (BC1F1, BC2F1) were produced by backcrossing various GFP/Bt transgenic canola (B. napus, cv Westar) and birdseed rape (Brassica rapa) hybrid generations onto B. rapa. Intercrossed generations (BC2F2 Bulk) were generated by crossing BC2F1 individuals in the presence of a pollinating insect (Musca domestica L.). The ploidy of plants in the BC2F2 Bulk hybrid generation was identical to the weedy parental species, B. rapa. AFLP analysis was used to quantify the degree of B. napus introgression into multiple backcross hybrid generations with B. rapa. The F1 hybrid generations contained 95–97% of the B. napus-specific AFLP markers, and each successive backcross generation demonstrated a reduction of markers resulting in the 15–29% presence in the BC2F2 Bulk population. Average fluorescence of each successive hybrid generation was analyzed, and homozygous canola lines and hybrid populations that contained individuals homozygous for GFP (BC2F2 Bulk) demonstrated significantly higher fluorescence than hemizygous hybrid generations (F1, BC1F1 and BC2F1). These data demonstrate that the formation of homozygous individuals within hybrid populations increases the average level of transgene expression as generations progress. This phenomenon must be considered in the development of risk-management strategies.Communicated by J. Dvorak 相似文献

Photoinhibition of photosynthesis was investigated in Vitis berlandieri and Vitis rupestris leaves under field conditions at different sampling time in a day. The degree of photoinhibition was determined by means of the ratio of variable to maximum chlorophyll fluorescence (Fv/Fm) and photosynthetic electron transport measurements. When the photochemical efficiency of PS2, Fv/Fm, markedly declined, F0 increased significantly in leaves of V. berlandieri, while F0 did not increase in V. rupestris leaves. Isolated thylakoids of leaves of V. berlandieri showed significant inhibition of whole chain and PS2 activities at midday. A smaller inhibition was observed for V. rupestris. Later, the leaves reached maximum PS2 efficiencies similar to those observed early in the morning during sampling at evening. The artificial exogenous electron donor Mn2+ failed to restore PS2 activity in both species, while DPC and NH2OH significantly restored PS2 activity in V. rupestris midday leaf samples. Quantification of the PS2 reaction centre protein D1 and 33 kDa protein of water splitting complex following midday exposure of leaves showed pronounced differences between V. berlandieri and V. rupestris leaves. The marked loss of PS2 activity noticed in midday samples was mainly due to the marked loss of D1 protein in V. berlandieri while in V. rupestris it was the 33 kDa protein. 相似文献

Amphidiploid Raphanofortii was synthesized by colchicinization of the F1 hybrid Brassica tournefortii (TT, 2n = 20)×Raphanus caudatus (RR, 2n = 18). The crossability between these two species, and the cytomorphology of the F1 plants and the amphidiploids were investigated. Intergeneric hybrids between the species were obtained only when B. tournefortii was involved as female parent. The hybrid plants were intermediate for most of the morphological attributes and showed very
low pollen fertility compared to the parents. Although a majority of the pollen mother cells of the dihaploid hybrid (TR,
2n = 19) harboured univalents, a maximum of six bivalents were also observed. Of the 37 colchicine-treated F1 plants analyzed cytologically, 21 were found to be true amphidiploids (2n = 38), whereas seven were mixoploids. Meiosis in
the amphidiploids was characterized by the occurrence of 19 bivalents, though multivalents and univalents were also observed
in a few cells. Most of the amphidiploid plants exhibited a fairly high pollen and seed fertility, which was further enhanced
with the advancement of generations. Out of 69 plants investigated in the A2 generation, 64 were euploids while the remaining five were aneuploids (2n = 36, 37, 39, 40 and 42). The newly synthesized
Raphanofortii has great potential as a new commercial crop, as well as a bridge species for the transfer of economically important attributes
of both the species to other Brassicas.

Summary
Gilia millefoliata andG. achilleaefolia, two annual diploid (n=9) species ofPolemoniaceae, crossed readily in certain combinations but not in others. The F1 hybrids were vigorous but sterile. They gave rise, apparently by the union of unreduced gametes, to an F2 generation of tetraploids, which were mostly fertile.Chromosome pairing in the hybrids varied markedly according to the state of nutrition of the plants. The F1 hybrids formed fewer clear diakinesis figures, fewer bivalents, fewer chiasmata per bivalent, and more attenuated or stretched bivalents when grown in 2 pots of sand than when grown in rich soil (Table 3). A pot-bound allotetraploid individual derived from this hybrid showed the same meiotic irregularities as the starved F1s until irrigated with a solution of mineral nutrients, after which its chromosomes paired regularly in bivalents (Table 2, Fig. 38).The capacity of the F1 hybrids to produce polyploids also differed strikingly in the two cultures. The rate of polyploidy of the stunted sand-grown hybrids was 2381 viable tetraploid zygotes per million flowers, while the corresponding figure for the luxuriant field hybrids was only 2.7 per million flowers.For the production of polyploid progeny by diploid parents — a process which should be clearly distinguished from normal fertility — the termpolyploidy rate is proposed. It is suggested that starvation of a structural hybrid may sometimes increase its polyploidy rate by reducing chromosome pairing to the point where restitution nuclei and hence unreduced gametes can be formed. 相似文献

RELATIONSHIP OF WOODY PARTHENIUM ARGENTATUM AND HERBACEOUS P. HISPIDUM VAR. AURICULATUM (ASTERACEAE)
Ahmad Hashemi Ali Estilai Jan E. West J. Giles Waines 《American journal of botany》1987,74(9):1350-1358
Interspecific hybrids between woody Parthenium argentatum Gray (guayule), native to Mexico and Southwest Texas, and herbaceous perennial P. hispidum var. auriculatum (Britton) Rollins, native to the United States, were obtained successfully. The F1 hybrids were intermediate for most morphological characters with the exception of the short woody stem, yellow pollen color, and the trichome morphology. Chromosome counts revealed the presence of 2n = 36 A-chromosomes in P. argentatum. The same number of A-chromosomes and four B-chromosomes were found in P. hispidum var. auriculatum. Observations of pollen mother cells showed regular meiosis in both parental species. At diakinesis, chiasmata averaged 1.12 and 1.24 per bivalent for P. argentatum and P. hispidum var. auriculatum, respectively. Meiotic behavior of the F1 hybrids was irregular. F1 hybrids averaged 4.43 univalents at metaphase I, 1.95 laggards at anaphase I, and 1.62 micronuclei at the tetrad stage. The low pollen stainability (5.1%) in the F1 hybrids and the limited number of viable BC1 seeds (4.07%) may be reflections of the irregular meiosis. Although these primary hybrids are partially fertile, they can be used to introduce desirable characteristics of P. hispidum var. auriculatum, such as herbaceous perennial habit, regrowth ability, and cold tolerance into guayule. 相似文献

Summary An aneupolyhaploid (2n = 36) of the decaploid Thinopyrum ponticum and an amphidiploid (2n = 28) of Hordeum violaceum x Hordeum bogdanii were produced through anther and inflorescence culture, respectively. Meiotic associations in pollen mother cells at metaphase I of these plants were analyzed. The aneupolyhaploid arose by direct embryogenesis from a microspore without passing through a callus phase. The mean pairing frequencies of 2.67 univalents + 0.54 rod bivalents + 8.85 ring bivalents + 2.75 trivalents + 0.17 chain quadrivalents + 0.56 ring quadrivalents + 0.65 pentavalents in the aneupolyhaploid (2n = 36) best fit the 221 model. However, the frequent multivalents (up to five trivalents, or three quadrivalents, or four pentavalents in a cell) indicated that decaploid T. ponticum has five sets of closely related genomes representable by the genome formula J1 J1 J1 J2 J2. Colchicine treatment of inflorescence-derived H. violaceum x H. bogdanii regenerants greatly enhanced the rate of chromosome doubling, and completely doubled regenerants could be isolated. The H. violaceum x H. bogdanii amphidiploid had a mean pairing pattern of 12.53 univalents + 5.57 rod bivalents + 1.97 ring bivalents + 0.07 trivalents + 0.03 hexavalents, indicating the presence of desynaptic gene(s) in the original diploiid hybrid. Therefore, the pairing frequency in that diploid hybrid was an under-estimate of chromosome homology between the parental genomes, and additional diploid hybrids are needed to assess the genome homology between H. violaceum and H. bogdanii. These two contrasting experiments demonstrated that tissue culture techniques are useful in altering the ploidy level to produce plant materials suitable for genome analysis and phylogenetic studies.Cooperative investigation of the USDA-ARS, Forage and Range Research Laboratory, Logan, UT 84322-6300, and the Utah Agricultural Experiment Station, Utah State University, Logan, UT 84322-4810.

We examined six allozyme markers and shell morphology to study gene flow between the naturally sympatric freshwater snail species Viviparus ater and V. contectus in Lake Garda, Italy, using offspring from experimental crosses and snails collected from natural populations. Hybrid offspring obtained from experimental crosses and hybrids collected from natural populations were heterozygous at four or five out of five diagnostic loci. Shell morphology was a poor predictor of the hybrid status of individual snails. Backcrossed offspring from experimentally bred hybrids and either of the parental species morphologically resembled the parental species. There was no evidence of segregation distortion at the six loci. Linkage analysis revealed one pair of linked loci (GPI and PNP). These cross experiments indicated a Mendelian type hybrid system in which gene introgression may occur. F1 hybrids were found at four out of six sampling sites of Lake Garda, Italy. Local frequencies of F1 hybrids ranged from 0% to 1.6% (estimated average = 0.74%) of the total population including both species. Alleles typical of V. ater were found at low frequencies in V. contectus at all six sampling sites. Alleles typical of V. contectus were found at low frequencies in V. ater at three out of six sampling sites. This is consistent with the hypothesis of introgression in both directions. 相似文献

Trifolium ambiguum M. Bieb and T. repens L. are taxonomically related but very difficult to cross. The rare hybrids so far reported between these two species were
obtained only by embryo culture. This difficulty has been overcome in the present research by the creation of a “fertile bridge”
between T. ambiguum and T. repens. Characters of interest can now be transferred from T. ambiguum to T. repens by using this “fertile bridge” without the use of sophisticated techniques. An array of backcross progenies was generated
from crosses between a T. ambiguum×T. repens F1 hybrid (8x H-435) and its parental species. The 8x hybrid was cross-fertile only with T. repens and resulted in 145 seeds from 1578 reciprocal crosses. Eleven of nineteen initially grown BC1F1 plants were all hexaploid with an average pollen stainability of 41.6%. A high frequency of multivalents at metaphase-I indicated
that both autosyndetic and allosyndetic pairing occurred. Backcrosses of 6x BC1F1 plants to T. repens resulted in 5x BC2F1 plants with an average pollen stainability of 59.3%. On the other hand, 6x BC1F1×6x T. ambiguum crosses did not produce any seed and only two pentaploid plants were obtained from 6x BC1F1×4x T. ambiguum crosses. The difficulty encountered in generating 6x backcross progeny with 6x T. ambiguum was overcome by intercrossing the 6x BC1F1 plants and producing 6x BC1F2 plants with an average pollen stainability of 65.8%. One of these 6x BC1F2 plants was cross-compatible as a female with 6x T. ambiguum and resulted in CBC2 plants that were all cross-compatible with 6x T. ambiguum. The 6x BC1F2 plants are likely to be superior to 6x BC1F1 progeny, as they have exhibited better expression of the combined rhizomatous and stoloniferous growth habit, improved fertility,
more frequent nodal rooting and heavier nodulation. Consequently, the 6x BC1F2 plants can either be used directly in the selection programme or as a “fertile bridge” between the two parental species.
The present work has resulted in the development of a series of fertile hybrids by the manipulation of chromosome numbers,
combining the agronomic characteristics of the parent species in varying genome balances and at a range of ploidy levels.
It is concluded that the initial sterility of the primary interspecific hybrids need not be a barrier to successful inter-breeding.

From crossings between Mesocricetus brandti and Mesocricetus newtoni 23 hybrids were obtained which presented characters intermediate between the parents and which were completely sterile. The number of chromosomes in the hybrid animals (2n=40) is also intermediate between the parents and the karyotype presents two distinct chromosome sets corresponding to those in the two parent species. The regular presence of multivalents at diakinesis and metaphase I probably causes the non balanced disjunction of the genetic material, and thus, probably, the total sterility of the hybrids. The study of sex chromatin showed the existence of a sex dimorphism, the female presenting more nuclei with 1–2 sex chromatin bodies. The presence of 2 sex chromatin bodies of different sixes may be explained by the heteroehromatinization of a whole X chromosome and half of its homologue.Histological study showed that the male and female genital apparatus are intensively affected in hybrids and the spermatogenetic and oogenetic activity is generally stopped. This determines the total sterility of the hybrids. 相似文献

Spermatogenesis in the F1 hybrid (2n=24=12 +12 ) between the closely related newt species T. cristatus carnifex and T. marmoratus was apparently normal up to pachytene. Many unpaired chromosomes were present at diplotene and a typical diakinesis was lacking. Primary spermatocytes at meta-and meta-anaphase contained up to 12 regular intergenomal bivalents and a corresponding number of univalents when less then 12 II. Most chiasmata were terminal or subterminal, some intercalary. Chiasmata between corresponding heterospecific chromosomes can be reported as true: real crossing over has taken place, proving the presence of primary chromosomal homologies between the 2 sets of the parental species. Evidence for recombination is based on the segregation of particular markers (i.e., subterminal C-bands and NORs) observed in certain chromosomes at metaphase II. One chromatid of single chromosomes can show the T. cristatus phenotype and the other the T. marmoratus phenotype. A few primary spermatocytes contain a certain number of irregular associations (intragenomal or intrahaploid bivalents, irregular intergenomal bivalents, chromosome multivalents) joined by chiasmata which can be defined as anomalous. Other abnormalities concern the occurrence of interlocked bivalents which occasionally show an anomalous exchange between heterologous chromatids. — Cytogenetic criteria useful to evaluate the taxonomic relationships between different species have been discussed as well as some possible trends in chromosome evolution and speciation within the genus Triturus. 相似文献

Both 6x Verbena aubletia (n=15) and 2x V. tenuisecta (n=5) form bivalents during meiosis, however, their 4x F1 hybrid (V. aubletia × V. tenuisecta) shows almost complete homoeologous pairing involving on average 19.74 out of its 20 chromosomes. In 10% cells there are 4IV+2II indicating that essentially there may be 4 homoeologous sets of 5 chromosomes each in the F1 hybrid. Evidently, V. aubletia is segmental allo-hexaploid involving 3 homoeologous genomes (A1A1 A2A2 A3A3). Whether its cytologically diploid behaviour is the result of a multivalent suppressor system or due to an acute property of preferential pairing, cannot be answered with certainty. In either case intergenomal homoeologies are totally suppressed resulting in bivalent pairing, meiotic isolation of the 3 genomes and institution of normal fertility. 相似文献
