羊蹄甲种间杂交不亲和初探

通过花粉活力测定和荧光显微技术对南非羊蹄甲与湖北羊蹄甲种间杂交不亲和原因进行了探讨.结果发现,花粉活力不是限制杂交不亲和的主要因子;通过荧光观察发现,南非羊蹄甲的花粉可以在湖北羊蹄甲的柱头上萌发生长,但伴有大量异常现象出现,表现为授粉后柱头的乳突细胞立即出现胼胝质反应,花粉管在柱头上盘绕,生长弯曲折叠,顶端膨大,异常变细,或先端沉积胼胝塞而中途停止生长,初步推断杂交后花粉管生长的异常行为是种间杂交不亲和的主要原因;从杂交后胚囊处的胼胝质反应看,杂交不亲和原因也有可能是雌雄配子体未能结合,或能正常受精,但受精后胚和胚乳发育不协调导致雌蕊脱落而不能得到种子.     

Identification of Fungus Resistant Wild Accessions and Interspecific Hybrids of the Genus Arachis

Peanut, Arachis hypogaea L., is a protein-rich species consumed worldwide. A key improvement to peanut culture involves the development of cultivars that resist fungal diseases such as rust, leaf spot and scab. Over three years, we evaluated fungal resistance under field conditions of 43 wild accessions and three interspecific hybrids of the genus Arachis, as well as six A. hypogaea genotypes. In the first year, we evaluated resistance to early and late leaf spot, rust and scab. In the second and third years, we evaluated the 18 wild species with the best resistance scores and control cultivar IAC Caiapó for resistance to leaf spot and rust. All wild accessions displayed greater resistance than A. hypogaea but differed in their degree of resistance, even within the same species. We found accessions with as good as or better resistance than A. cardenasii, including: A. stenosperma (V15076 and Sv 3712), A. kuhlmannii (V 6413), A. kempff-mercadoi (V 13250), A. hoehnei (KG 30006), and A. helodes (V 6325). Amphidiploids and hybrids of A. hypogaea behaved similarly to wild species. An additional four accessions deserve further evaluation: A. magna (V 13751 and KG 30097) and A. gregoryi (V 14767 and V 14957). Although they did not display as strong resistance as the accessions cited above, they belong to the B genome type that is crucial to resistance gene introgression and pyramidization in A. hypogaea.     

Genetic Architecture and Fitness of Bacterial Interspecies Hybrids

Integration of a conjugative plasmid into a bacterial chromosome can promote the transfer of chromosomal DNA to other bacteria. Intraspecies chromosomal conjugation is believed responsible for creating the global pathogens Klebsiella pneumoniae ST258 and Escherichia coli ST1193. Interspecies conjugation is also possible but little is known about the genetic architecture or fitness of such hybrids. To study this, we generated by conjugation 14 hybrids of E. coli and Salmonella enterica. These species belong to different genera, diverged from a common ancestor >100 Ma, and share a conserved order of orthologous genes with ∼15% nucleotide divergence. Genomic analysis revealed that all but one hybrid had acquired a contiguous segment of donor E. coli DNA, replacing a homologous region of recipient Salmonella chromosome, and ranging in size from ∼100 to >4,000 kb. Recombination joints occurred in sequences with higher-than-average nucleotide identity. Most hybrid strains suffered a large reduction in growth rate, but the magnitude of this cost did not correlate with the length of foreign DNA. Compensatory evolution to ameliorate the cost of low-fitness hybrids pointed towards disruption of complex genetic networks as a cause. Most interestingly, 4 of the 14 hybrids, in which from 45% to 90% of the Salmonella chromosome was replaced with E. coli DNA, showed no significant reduction in growth fitness. These data suggest that the barriers to creating high-fitness interspecies hybrids may be significantly lower than generally appreciated with implications for the creation of novel species.

The Photosynthetic Efficiency of Some Elite Rice Hybrids and Restorers

At the vegetative growth stage (40 d), the mean photosynthetic rate (PN) and canopy photosynthesis (PN × LAI) in F1 hybrids and their parents were similar, whereas the maintenance respiration rate (RM) was considerably higher and PN/RM lower in the F1 hybrids than in the parents. Yet at the flowering stage, the hybrids showed higher PN and PN × LAI values, while RM and PN/RM were similar in both. A specific F1 hybrid like IR 62829A×Vajram showed high readings in PN, PN/RM, and PN × LAI at the flowering stage, while IR 62829A×Swarna followed by IR 62829A×Vajram had high values 40 d after planting. The parents Swarna and Vajram, although moderate in PN, had the highest PN × LAI at the flowering stage due to a greater LAI.     

Identification of Two Novel Members of the Tentative Genus Wukipolyomavirus in Wild Rodents

Two novel polyomaviruses (PyVs) were identified in kidney and chest-cavity fluid samples of wild bank voles (Myodes glareolus) and common voles (Microtus arvalis) collected in Germany. All cloned and sequenced genomes had the typical PyV genome organization, including putative open reading frames for early regulatory proteins large T antigen and small T antigen on one strand and for structural late proteins (VP1, VP2 and VP3) on the other strand. Virus-like particles (VLPs) were generated by yeast expression of the VP1 protein of both PyVs. VLP-based ELISA and large T-antigen sequence-targeted polymerase-chain reaction investigations demonstrated signs of infection of these novel PyVs in about 42% of bank voles and 18% of common voles. In most cases only viral DNA, but not VP1-specific antibodies were detected. In additional animals exclusively VP1-specific antibodies, but no viral DNA was detected, indicative for virus clearance. Phylogenetic and clustering analysis including all known PyV genomes placed novel bank vole and common vole PyVs amongst members of the tentative Wukipolymavirus genus. The other known four rodent PyVs, Murine PyV and Hamster PyV, and Murine pneumotropic virus and Mastomys PyV belong to different phylogenetic clades, tentatively named Orthopolyomavirus I and Orthopolyomavirus II, respectively. In conclusion, the finding of novel vole-borne PyVs may suggest an evolutionary origin of ancient wukipolyomaviruses in rodents and may offer the possibility to develop a vole-based animal model for human wukipolyomaviruses.     

Wild Mice As Bountiful Resources of Novel Genetic Variants for Quantitative Traits

Most traits of biological importance, including traits for human complex diseases (e.g., obesity and diabetes), are continuously distributed. These complex or quantitative traits are controlled by multiple genetic loci called QTLs (quantitative trait loci), environments and their interactions. The laboratory mouse has long been used as a pilot animal model for understanding the genetic architecture of quantitative traits. Next-generation sequencing analyses and genome-wide SNP (single nucleotide polymorphism) analyses of mouse genomes have revealed that classical inbred strains commonly used throughout the world are derived from a few fancy mice with limited and non-randomly distributed genetic diversity that occurs in nature and also indicated that their genomes are predominantly Mus musculus domesticus in origin. Many QTLs for a huge variety of traits have so far been discovered from a very limited gene pool of classical inbred strains. However, wild M. musculus mice consisting of five subspecies widely inhabit areas all over the world, and hence a number of novel QTLs may still lie undiscovered in gene pools of the wild mice. Some of the QTLs are expected to improve our understanding of human complex diseases. Using wild M. musculus subspecies in Asia as examples, this review illustrates that wild mice are untapped natural resources for valuable QTL discovery.     

Determination S-Genotypes and Identification of Five Novel S-RNase Alleles in Wild Malus Species

Apple (Malus × domestica Borkh.) is a typical Rosaceae species that exhibits gametophytic self-incompatibility (GSI) controlled by polymorphic S-alleles. In this study, the S-alleles of wild Malus species were amplified, sequenced and compared using polymerase chain reaction (PCR) technology. 21 S-alleles were identified in 27 wild Malus species. The results indicated that the overwhelming majority of S-alleles between wild Malus species and cultivars shared identical sequences. Simultaneously, five new S alleles (designated S ₄₈ –S ₅₂ ) were identified in wild Malus species. There are the S ₄₈ -RNase in M. angustifolia (Ation) Michaux, S ₄₉ -RNase in M. orientalis Uglitzk. Ex Juz. and M. sylvestris (L.) Mill., S ₅₀ -RNase in M. tschonoskii (Maxim.) C.K. Schneid. and M. sieversii (Ldb.) Roem., S ₅₁ -RNase in M. komarovii (Sarg.) Rehd. and M. kansuensis (Batal.) C. K. Schneid., S ₅₂ -RNase in M. manshurica (Maxim.) V. Komorov wild Malus species. Additionally, an S ₁ -RNase was cloned in wild Malus prunifolia var. ringo, which have the same open reading frame as Malus × domestica cv. Fuji, but lacked whole intron.
