秋水仙素诱导月季品种‘月月粉’2n花粉的研究

为获得二倍体古老月季品种‘月月粉’人工诱导2n花粉用于现代月季杂交育种,该研究在了解‘月月粉’花粉母细胞发育过程的基础上,使用秋水仙素注射结合包裹法处理幼嫩花蕾,成功获得了可正常萌发的2n花粉,并通过观察诱导获得的花粉离体及其在雌蕊上的萌发特征,初步评估2n花粉用于杂交育种的性能。结果表明:(1)秋水仙素药棉包裹造成部分花蕾在采粉前死亡,花蕾存活率随秋水仙素浓度提高和处理时间延长均极显著降低。(2)2n花粉诱导率在秋水仙素浓度为2.5、5.0、7.5和10.0 g/L间存在显著差异,但在处理时间为24、48和72 h间无显著差异;最佳诱导处理为5.0 g/L秋水仙素处理24 h,诱导率可达15.83%,该处理获得的2n花粉经亚历山大染色检验活力为27.2%。(3)‘月月粉’花粉母细胞在减数分裂时存在异常落后染色体和平行纺锤体,在四分体时期形成染色体数目加倍的二分体和三分体,最终产生2n花粉。(4)所诱导的2n花粉的体外萌发率和花粉管长度与天然花粉无显著差异,且都可以在母本柱头上萌发并长出花粉管进入子房,表明可用于进一步的杂交育种。     

二倍体矮牵牛花粉母细胞异常减数分裂的观察与核型分析

以夏季高温时期二倍体矮牵牛花蕾为材料,采用常规制片法,对花粉母细胞异常减数分裂进行观察并选取终变期进行染色体核型分析。结果发现:异常减数分裂主要表现为具有多核仁、二价体提前分离成单价体、赤道板外的染色体,姊妹染色单体提前分离、不均等分离,落后和丢失染色体,具有微核的三分体和四分体,中期Ⅱ纺锤体定位发生异常出现融合纺锤体和八字形纺锤体可导致2n花粉产生;矮牵牛终变期核型公式为K(2n)=2x=14=10m+4sm(2SAT),其中第1、4、5、6、7号为中部着丝粒染色体,第2号(具有随体)、3号为亚中部着丝粒染色体,染色体相对长度组成为2n=14=4M_1+10M_2,核型分类为2A型。研究表明,矮牵牛异常减数分裂可导致2n花粉和不育花粉的产生,利用终变期进行核型分析具有材料丰富、二价体形态清晰不需人为配对分析等优点,为矮牵牛细胞学研究提供了新方法。     

药蒲公英减数分裂异常行为探讨

对药蒲公英减数分裂各期进行了观察,研究得出药蒲公英花蕾直径大小与花粉母细胞减数分裂各期之间的关系(花蕾直径在2-7mm时为减数分裂期)。并发现药蒲公英减数分裂中出现许多异常行为。如后期桥和落后染色体;药蒲公英花粉粒空瘪,这些异常行为的原因是减数分裂过程中有倒位和重复缺失等染色体结构变异出现以至形成双着丝点染色体。减数分裂过程的异常行为也说明药蒲公英是多倍体。

采用荧光染色法研究了不结球白菜花粉母细胞减数分裂及其雄配子体发育过程.结果表明:(1)不结球白菜花粉母细胞减数分裂的胞质分裂方式为同时型,终变期二价体多为棒状和环状.后期Ⅰ出现少量染色体落后现象,中期Ⅱ纺锤体排列方式有垂直型、平行型和八字型,四分体排列方式有十字交叉型、左右对称型和四面体型.终变期、中期Ⅰ和中期Ⅱ是染色体数目鉴定的最佳时期.(2)1.5～2.49 mm长的花蕾中花粉处于单核早期至中期,2.5～3.0 mm长的花蕾中花粉处于单核靠边期至2核早期.花蕾长2.0～3.0 mm可作为花药培养或小孢子培养的取材依据.     

普通白菜未减数雄配子形成的细胞学机制

以自然产生2n配子的二倍体普通白菜为材料,采用常规压片法研究2n雄配子发生的细胞学机制.结果表明,白菜未减数雄配子的形成途径有两条:(1)通过近平行型纺锤体形成二分体,从而产生2个未减数配子;(2)通过三极型纺锤体形成三分体,从而产生2个正常减数n配子和1个未减数2n配子,三极型纺锤体比平行型纺锤体能产生更高频率的未减数配子.2n花粉大小为n花粉的1.5倍,其频率不超过9%.     

铁皮石斛花粉块结构及发育过程的解剖学特征研究北大核心CSCD

兰科植物的有性生殖特殊,每朵花只有1个花药,且花粉有聚集成块发育的特征。为了揭示铁皮石斛花粉块的发育特征,该研究以野生铁皮石斛不同时期的花药为材料,采用半薄切片和植物组织化学方法对其发育过程进行解剖学观察分析,并对成熟花粉块进行离体培养,观察花粉管的萌发状况。结果表明:(1)铁皮石斛花药壁由1层表皮细胞,2层药室内壁细胞,1层中层细胞和1层绒毡层细胞组成。开花时,绒毡层细胞退化,中层细胞没有退化,药室内壁细胞则形成纤维状细胞壁;药室中的小孢子母细胞没有明显的胼胝质壁结构。(2)小孢子发生属同时型,减数分裂后四分体小孢子不分散,以四合花粉状态发育,并进一步连接形成花粉块。(3)在小孢子发育中,孢粉素覆盖在整个花粉块表面形成花粉外壁,但花粉块内部的花粉没有花粉外壁结构;在花粉块表面的花粉外壁上未见花粉萌发孔。(4)在花粉离体萌发实验中,具有花粉外壁的花粉块表面花粉未见萌发,仅由花粉块内部的花粉萌发出花粉管。     

三倍体葡萄‘夏黑’的花粉母细胞减数分裂行为观察及其育性研究

为探究三倍体葡萄‘夏黑’的育性及其细胞学机制,对其花粉母细胞减数分裂进程中的染色体行为及育性水平进行研究。结果表明:(1)三倍体葡萄‘夏黑’花粉母细胞减数分裂进程中存在部分染色体提前分向两极、落后染色体、染色体桥、平行纺锤体、不均等分离、微核等染色体异常行为,其中不均等分离现象出现的频率最高(65.68%)。(2)‘夏黑’葡萄的花粉离体萌发率为1.65%,花粉直径大小范围在18.0~50.0μm之间,且花粉直径分布呈双峰型。(3)‘夏黑’葡萄具有一定的育性,作为亲本与四倍体品种杂交均获得了杂交子代。研究认为,减数分裂的异常是三倍体葡萄‘夏黑’育性低的细胞学原因,但同时也形成了少量可育的未减数配子,可以作为中介材料应用于葡萄育种。     

一个白菜花粉发育相关的新基因BcMF7的鉴定

利用cDNA-AFLP技术分析了白菜(Brassica campestris L. ssp. chinensis Makino, syn. B. rapa L. ssp. chinensis)雄配子减数分裂的胞质分裂突变体(male meiotic cytokinesis, mmc)和野生型植株花蕾基因表达的差异, 克隆了其中一个在野生型花蕾中特异表达的基因BcMF7, 序列分析发现该基因的最大开放阅读框为390 bp, 编码129个氨基酸, 推测的蛋白质分子量为13.75 kD, 含有8个蛋白激酶C磷酸化位点, 2个酪蛋白激酶II磷酸化位点, 2个酪氨酸激酶磷酸化位点, 2个N-糖基化位点以及2个N-豆蔻酰化位点等, 这些位点均与细胞内信号传导、蛋白定位以及黏附等过程有关. 时空表达特点分析发现BcMF7在花粉中特异表达, 其转录本最早在花粉发育的四分体时期开始出现, 在单核小孢子时期表达丰度达到最高, 随后在成熟花粉粒形成时期表达量又有所下降. 推测BcMF7可能在花粉发育的四分体时期到成熟花粉粒形成过程的信号传导中发挥重要作用.

Occurrence and Inheritance of 2 n Pollen in Musa

Sexual polyploidization explains the formation of most polyploidcrop species and provides means for their genetic improvement.This paper reports the occurrence and inheritance of 2n pollenin diploid and polyploidMusa . Pollen samples of male fertileaccessions available in the field gene bank of the InternationalInstitute of Tropical Agriculture were microscopically examinedthroughout a calendar year. Based on pollen diameter 2n pollenproducers were identified. The presence of 2n pollen in diploidspecies suggests that unilateral sexual polyploidization (2nxn) could have been involved in the origin of triploidMusa species.Segregation data suggests that at least one dominant gene controls2n pollen production inMusa . Further introgression of desirablealleles from diploid species to polyploids could be achievedeither through unilateral or bilateral (2nx2n ) sexual polyploidizationinMusa .

Pollen morphology ofLactoridaceae

The pollen wall ultrastructure of the primitive AngiospermLactoris fernandeziana Phil. (Lactoridaceae) is described. The monosulcate aperture, granular wall structure and sacci (all primitive features) suggest placement of this family in theMagnoliales. Pollen ofLactoris is compared to fossil dispersed pollen from the Lower and lower-Upper Cretaceous. The fossil pollen shares characteristics which are restricted to theLactoridaceae suggesting that this family was present during the early Cretaceous.     

Pollen morphology inLinum sect.Macrantholinum

Pollen of the two distylous species which make upLinum sect.Macrantholinum differs from that of other distylous species in the genus in being multiporate and in having much more modest differences in exine sculpturing between grains from long- and short-styled plants. Pollen morphology does not help in relating the two species to others in the genus but does support their retention in a separate section.     

Pollen morphology inParis and its related genera

Pollen grains ofParis, Medeola, andScoliopus have been examined with light, scanning electron, and transmission electron microscopies.P. quadrifolia L.,P. verticillata Bieb.,P. delavayi Franch. andP. polyphylla Smith have monosulcate pollen characterized by psilate, foveolate or reticulate exine sculpture. In contrast to the former species,P. japonica (Fr. et Sav.) Franch. andP. tetraphylla A. Gray have monosulcate pollen with gemmate (rarely rugulate) exine.Medeola has monosulcate pollen with reticulate exine that is distinct from that ofParis. Scoliopus has monosulcate pollen characterized by a peculiar reticulate exine pattern. The palynological evidence suggests thatParis andTrillium are closely related to each other, andMedeola andScoliopus should be separated fromParis andTrillium.     

Pollen morphology of the cypripedioid orchids

Pollen morphology of the four traditional genera (Paphiopedilum, Selenipedium, Cypripedium, Phragmipedium) comprising the cypripedioid orchids indicates that the monads are sulcate, more or less smooth-surfaced, and covered by a non-acetolysis resistant layer called elastoviscin. Evidence from ultrathin sections of pollen grains shows that typical exine layers are present only inSelenipedium, modified inPhragmipedium and absent inPaphiopedilum and most species ofCypripedium; that a small, inconspicuous portion of the grain surface is constructed as a sulcus; and that the pollen grain wall acts as a sponge in rapidly absorbing water. Several instances of parallelisms between non-related families and among different groups of orchids are reported and new ideas on the evolution of theCypripedioideae are presented.Dedicated to Prof. DrE. Tschermak-Woess on the occasion of her 70th birthday.Reprint requests toM. Hesse.     

Karyomorphological analyses and heterochromatin characteristics disclose phyletic relationships among 2n = 32 and 2n = 36 species ofOrchis (Orchidaceae)

The karyotypes of eight taxa ofOrchis L. with 2n = 32 and 2n = 36 have been investigated using morphometrical measurements following staining with Feulgen, Giemsa (C-banding) and the DNA specific fluorochrome Hoechst 33258. The karyotypes ofO. coriophora subsp.fragrans, andO. papilionacea proved to be the most asymmetrical, whileO. morio andO. longicornu exhibited the most symmetrical karyotypes. Using C-banding and the fluorochrome H33258 only the taxa with high asymmetry indices showed the presence of differentially stained chromatin bands. In most chromosomes heterochromatin bands were present at the telomeric position. The present results seem to indicate that the analysed species do not form a homogeneous group and further subdivisions are possible, which, in turn, do not always correlate with divisions based on morphological characters. Both karyomorphology and heterochromatin distribution coincide in indicating a possible evolutionary pathway.     

Pollen morphology in Asiatic species ofTrillium

Pollen grains of five species and two interspecific hybrids ofTrillium from eastern Asia have been examined with scanning electron and transmission electron microscopy. All species from eastern Asia, excludingT. govanianum, are characterized by inaperturate pollen and an unstratified and granulated exine structure. Pollen of the Himalayan species,T. govanianum, is, however, monocolpate and intectate. The palynological evidence suggests that the Asiatic species, excludingT. govanianum, are closely related to each other and toT. erectum in North America, andT. govanianum is independent of the other species in the genus.     

Pollen flow inPrimula veris (Primulaceae)

Observations on two natural and one artificial distylous populations ofPrimula veris in Britain revealed very high proportions of intramorph pollen on pin stigmas and moderate proportions of intermorph pollen on thrum stigmas. The average ratio of pin: thrum pollen production per flower was 2.4:1. Large amounts of pollen remained in dehisced anthers, perhaps reflecting low levels of pollinator activity. Population size and density had no clear effect on pollen flow patterns, which are asymmetrical for the two morphs.     

Evidence for the existence of 2n gametes in Lotus tenuis Wald. et Kit. (2n=2x=12): their relevance in evolution and breeding of Lotus corniculatus L. (2n=4x=24)

Summary Crosses between male sterile L. corniculatus (2n=4x=24) and L. tenuis (2n=2x=12) plants were performed in order to verify the presence of 2n gametes in L. tenuis. All but one of the plants from these crosses had 2n=4x=24 and the L. corniculatus phenotype; this plant had 2n=2x=12 and the L. tenuis phenotype. The plants also showed good quantity of pollen at tripping, good pollen fertility and good percentage of seed setting in the backcross to L. corniculatus. On the whole, both cytological and morphological observations, showing that all but one of the plants from L. corniculatus x L. tenuis were normal tetraploids, suggest the existence of diploandrous gametes in L. tenuis. On the other hand, haploid parthenogenesis probably gave origin to the dihaploid plant 2n=2x=12.     

鱼腥草花粉母细胞减数分裂特征及其育性研究

为深入了解鱼腥草花粉母细胞的减数分裂特征与花粉育性的关系,该研究采用卡宝品红染色法对2个鱼腥草居群花粉母细胞的减数分裂过程进行观察,并采用氯化三苯基四氮唑(TTC)染色法、I2-KI染色法、B-K培养基培养法及荧光显微镜观察法来检测鱼腥草花粉的活力及萌发率。结果发现:(1)鱼腥草减数分裂的进程与花序大小、花药颜色、花药长度均有密切的关系。(2)2个居群的鱼腥草中花粉母细胞减数分裂过程正常占88.2%,有11.8%的花粉母细胞减数分裂异常。(3)减数分裂异常表现在减数分裂过程中出现微核、落后染色体、染色体桥、不均等分离、多分体等现象,并发现在二分体阶段及单核花粉发育过程中存在细胞融合。(4)2个居群的鱼腥草花粉活力均不超过1.5%,花粉几乎不萌发。研究认为,鱼腥草花粉育性低的主要原因是单核花粉的发育过程异常,而非鱼腥草花粉母细胞减数分裂异常所致。
