Induced polyploidization in Brassica campestris L. (Brassicaceae)

Present experimental design has been made up to obtain crop with higher ploidy level via synthetic polyploidization. Since ploidy manipulation is generally associated with the obtainment of some increased enviable traits of the crop and also provides them greater adaptability to unfavorable or harsh circumstances as compared to its diploids counterparts. Thus, herein present research autotetraploids of Brassica campestris L. have been lucratively achieved by the application of colchicine. Two methods of treatment were utilized i.e. seed treatment and seedling treatment. No polyploidy could be obtained through seed treatment while seedling treatment responded well towards polyploidy. However, the status of autotetraploidy has been confirmed by cytomorphological investigations of treated plants as against its diploids counterparts. For the purpose, morphological parameters such as increased stomata size, pollen diameter, flower size, reproductive organs whereas reduction in plant height, leaf length, leaf breadth, stomata frequency, number of flowers/inflorescence etc. were appraised. Further, cytological observations were made that had clearly revealed the doubling of genome in the autotetraploids as compared to diploids. Meanwhile, pollen fertility and size of pollen grains were evaluated as well.     

Leaf physiological aspects of nitrogen-use efficiency in Brassica campestris L.: quantitative genetic variation across nutrient treatments

Summary Quantitative genetic parameters for leaf physiological and whole-plant aspects of nitrogen-use efficiency in Brassica camprestris L. were estimated in three nutrient treatments in the greenhouse. Narrow-sense heritabilities and genetic correlations varied across treatments for some traits. Sire effects were significant for leaf nitrogen content in near-optimal and super-optimal, but not in suboptimal nutrient treatments. Additive genetic variation for two estimates of leaf physiological nitrogen-use efficiency (nitrogen-based photosynthetic capacity and leaf carbon: nitrogen ratio) was significant only in the suboptimal nutrient treatment. Area-based photosynthetic capacity, on the other hand, exhibited no heritable variation in any nutrient treatment. Heritability estimates of aboveground biomass and flower production were greatest in sub- and super-optimal treatments, respectively. Negative genetic correlations between leaf nitrogen content and both estimates of leaf nitrogen-use efficiency were evident in the super-optimal treatment. Aboveground biomass and leaf nitrogen-use efficiency were positively correlated in the suboptimal treatment, suggesting that growth differences were due in part to the efficiency with which nitrogen was utilized in physiological processes. Although implications for breeding may differ for different sources of germ plasm or different measures of performance or yield, selection for improved whole-plant performance through increased nitrogen-use efficiency should proceed best in suboptimal nutrient treatments.     

Transfer of resistance to Xanthomonas campestris pv campestris into Brassica oleracea L. by protoplast fusion

Black rot caused by the bacterium Xanthomonas campestris pv campestris is one of the most serious diseases of Brassica oleracea. Since sources of resistance to the disease within B. oleracea are insufficient and control means are limited, the development of resistant breeding lines is extremely desirable. Certain lines of B. napus contain very high resistance controlled by a dominant gene, but crossing the two species sexually is very difficult. Therefore, somatic hybrids were produced by protoplast fusion between rapid cycling B. oleracea and a B. napus line highly resistant to X. campestris pv campestris. Hybrid identity was confirmed by morphological studies, flow cytometric estimation of nuclear DNA content, and analysis of random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD). Inoculations with the pathogen identified four somatic hybrids with high resistance. The resistant hybrid plants were fertile and set seed when selfed or crossed reciprocally to the bridge line 15 (Quazi 1988). Direct crosses to B. oleracea were unsuccessful, but embryo rescue facilitated the production of a first-backcross generation. The BC₁ plants were resistant to the pathogen. Progeny from the crosses to line 15 were all susceptible. Embryo rescue techniques were not obligatory for the development of a second-backcross generation, and several resistant BC₂ plants were obtained.     

Bioassembly of acyl lipids in microspore-derived embryos of Brassica campestris L.

The native lipid composition and the capacity of cell-free extracts to biosynthesize acyl lipids in vitro were determined for the first time using the recently reported microspore-derived (MD) embryo system from the Brassica campestris low erucic acid line BC-2 (Baillie et al. 1992). The total lipid fraction isolated from midcotyledonary stage MD embryos (21 days in culture) was composed primarily of triacylglycerol (76%) with an acyl composition quite similar to that of mature BC-2 seed. When incubated in the presence of glycerol-3-phosphate, ¹⁴C 181-CoA, and reducing equivalents, homogenates prepared from 21-day cultured MD embryos were able to biosynthesize glycerolipids via the Kennedy pathway. The maximum in vitro rate of triacylglycerol biosynthesis could more than account for the known rate of lipid accumulation in vivo. The homogenate catalyzed the desaturation of 181 to 182 and to a lesser extent, 183. The newly-synthesized polyunsaturated fatty acids initially accumulated in the polar lipid fraction (primarily phosphatidic acid and phosphatidylcholine) but began to appear in the triacylglycerol fraction after longer incubation periods. As expected for a low erucic acid cultivar, homogenates of MD embryos from the BC-2 line were incapable of biosynthesizing very long chain monounsaturated fatty acyl moieties (201 and 221) from 181-CoA in vitro. Nonetheless, embryo extracts were still capable of incorporating these fatty acyl moieties into triacylglycerols when supplied with ¹⁴C 201-CoA or ¹⁴C 221-CoA. Collectively, the data suggest that developing BC-2 MD embryos constitute an excellent experimental system for studying pathways for glycerolipid bioassembly and the manipulation of this process in B. campestris.Abbreviations CPT sn-1,2-diacylglycerol cholinephosphotransferase - DAG diacylglycerol - DGAT diacylglycerol acyltransferase - DGDG digalactosyldiacylglycerol - G-3-P glycerol-3-phosphate - G-3-PAT glycerol-3-phosphate acyltransferase - LPA lyso-phosphatidic acid - LPAT lyso-phosphatidic acid acyltransferase - LPC lyso-phosphatidylcholine - LPCAT acyl-CoA: lyso-phosphatidylcholine acyltransferase - LPE lyso-phosphatidylethanolamine - MGDG monogalactosyldiacylglycerol - PA phosphatidic acid - PA Phosphatase, phosphatidic acid phosphatase - PC phosphatidylcholine - PE phosphatidylethanolamine - PG phosphatidylglycerol - TAG triacylglycerol - 181-CoA oleoyl-Coenzyme A - 181 oleic acid, cis-9-octadecenoic acid - 182 linoleic acid, cis-9,12-octadecadienoic acid - 183 -linolenic acid, cis-9,12,15-octadecatrienoic acid - 201 cis-11-eicosenoic acid - 221 erucic acid, cis-13-docosenoic acid; all other fatty acids are designated by number of carbon atoms: number of double bonds National Research Council of Canada Publication No. 35896     

Lipid Composition of in vitro Developing Seeds of Brassica campestris L.

A liquid culture technique has been developed to study lipid metabolism in seeds of Brassica campestris L. grown in vitro from terminal inflorescences detached 4 to 46 days after anthesis. Seeds developed under these conditions exhibited pattern of growth, deposition of storage products and lipid composition similar to those from intact plant.     

Promotion of Flowering in Brassica campestris L. cv Ceres by Sucrose

Flower initiation of the quantitative long-day plant Brassica campestris cv Ceres was earlier and at a lower final leaf number when sucrose was added to the medium in which plants were grown in sterile culture. The optimal concentration of sucrose was 40 to 80 millimolar. This flower-promoting effect of sucrose was not osmotic, as mannitol, sodium chloride, and polyethylene glycol were not effective at equal osmotic potentials.

Seedlings grown heterotrophically after treatment with 4-chloro-5-(dimethylamino)-2-phenyl-3-(2H)-pyridazinone to prevent chlorophyll accumulation were also induced to form flower primordia earlier as the sucrose concentration in the medium was increased up to 80 millimolar. Inclusion of 4 millimolar sodium nitrate in the culture medium of green plants did not reduce the flower-promoting effects of sucrose but delayed initiation in plants grown without added sucrose.

Removal of CO₂ during a single main or supplementary light period, or both, greatly reduced flower initiation. It is concluded that sucrose may be an important controlling factor determining floral initiation in Brassica.

     

Variations in and Inheritance of NS-Glycoprotein in Self-Incompatible Brassica campestris L.

The stigma of Brassica species contain NS-glycoproteins thatexhibit a high degree of structural homology to the S-glycoproteinsof self-incompatibility. Inheritance of and variations in theNS-glycoprotein were studied with reference to self-incompatibility.The detection of NS-glycoproteins was performed by cross-reactionwith an antiserum raised against a purified NS-glycoprotein.In B. campestris, four isoforms of the NS-glycoprotein weredifferentiated by their pI values, but their molecular weightswere identical to one another. The genes for these isoformsof NS-glycoprotein were controlled by alleles at a single locus,tentatively named the NS allele, which was independent of Salleles at both the protein and the DNA level. Segregation ofF₂ plants with respect to the self-incompatibility behaviorof pollen tubes can be explained by the S allele model, butit appears not to be affected by the NS alleles. NS-glycoproteinswere found in all 21 species of Brassica and its allies examinedto date. The pI values of these glycoproteins varied among differentspecies. In addition to the isoforms of the NS alleles, maturestigmas contained other groups of proteins that reacted weaklywith the antiserum against the NS-glycoprotein.

Ontogenic variation in response of Brassica campestris L. to cadmium toxicity

Abstract

Rapeseed (Brassica campestris L.) cv Pusa Gold plants, exposed to different cadmium (Cd) levels (0, 25, 50 and 100 mg kg^?1 soil) in greenhouse, pot culture experiment, were analyzed with reference to distribution of metal, accumulation of biomass and the degree of growth stage Cd-sensitivity. A significant maximum decrease in plant biomass was observed at Cd-exposed flowering stage followed by pre-flowering and post-flowering stages. Activities of enzymatic antioxidants such as superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase (CAT), ascorbate peroxidase (APX) and glutathione reductase (GR) differentially increased; while, the concentrations of non-enzymatic antioxidants such as ascorbic acid (AsA) and glutathione (GSH) drastically decreased in plants exposed to Cd at various growth stages. However, the concentrations of GSH and AsA decreased maximally in plant groups exposed to Cd at their flowering stage. The maximum Cd-accumulation occurred in roots followed by leaves and stem. Various Cd levels inhibited also the contents of plant nutrients such as nitrogen (N), phosphorous (P), potassium (K) and sulfur (S) in leaves. The present endeavor hence concludes the existence of close relationships among growth parameters, Cd-sensitivity of phenological stages of the crop and the components of antioxidant system in rapeseed plants exposed at various growth stages.

Visualization of a self-incompatibility gene in Brassica campestris L. by multicolor FISH

 The physical localization of the S-glycoprotein (SLG) locus in the chromosome of Brassica campestris L. ‘pekinensis’ cv ‘Kukai’ was visualized by multi-color fluorescent in situ hybridization (McFISH). ‘Kukai’, which is an F₁ hybrid between two parental lines, T-17 and T-18, has two SLG genes from both T-17 and T-18. In this study, a 1.3-kb DNA fragment was amplified from the genomic DNA of T-17 by PCR using a set of primers specific to the class-I SLG. From the genomic DNA of T-18, no DNA fragment was amplified using these primers. In the genomic Southern hybridization, a cloned PCR product hybridized with the genomic DNA of T-17 or F₁ but not with that of T-18. The PCR product had a sequence homology of approximately, 85% to another class-I SLG gene, SLG-9. Therefore, the PCR product from T-17 was named SLG-17, as it is thought to be a member of the class-I SLG. Using SLG-17 as the probe, FISH was carried out to visualize the position of the SLG locus. McFISH was also carried out simultaneously using the SLG-17 and SLG-9 genes as probes. The SLG-17 gene was detected as a doublet signal at the interstitial region close to the end of a small chromosome, with the signal site being identical to that of SLG-9. Therefore, it is concluded that the SLG-17 gene is localized at the interstitial region close to the end of the chromosome derived from T-17 in Brassica campestris L. ‘pekinensis’ cv ‘Kukai’.

Interspecific hybrids between Brassica napus L. and B. oleracea L. developed by embryo culture

Summary Interspecific hybrids between Brassica napus and B. oleracea are difficult to produce, and previous attempts to transfer economic characters from one species to the other have largely been unsuccessful. In these studies, oilseed rape cv. Tower (2n38) (B. napus) was crossed with broccoli and kale (2n18) (B. oleracea), and hybrid plants were developed from embryos in culture by either organogenesis or somatic embryogenesis. In rape × broccoli, F₁ plants were regenerated from hybrid embryos and the plants produced viable selfed seeds. F₅ plants (2n38) homozygous for white flower colour were selected for high oil content (47%) and Line 15; a selection from these plants produced fertile hybrids with rape, broccoli and kale without embryo culture. In reciprocal crosses between oilseed rape cv. Tower and an aphid resistant diploid kale, 28 and 56 chromosome F₁ hybrid plants were regenerated from somatic embryos. The 56 chromosome plants were self-fertile and it was concluded from F₂ segregation ratios that a single dominant gene controls resistance to cabbage aphid in kale. The 28 chromosome F₁'s were self-sterile, but these and the 56 chromosome F₁'s could be backcrossed to rape and kale. A cross between the F₁ (2n56) and a forage rape resulted in the selection of a cabbage aphid (Brevicoryne brassicae L.) resistant line (Line 3). Both Line 15 and Line 3 can serve as bridges for gene interchange between B. campestris, B. napus and B. oleracea, which has not been possible hitherto. Hybridisations between rape and tetraploid kale produced F₁ plants with 37 chromosomes. One F₂ plant possessed coronal scales and the inheritance was shown to be controlled by a single recessive gene unlinked to petal colour.This paper is dedicated to Mr. T. P. Palmer, a colleague and close friend who retired from the DSIR as Assistant Director of the Crop Research Division in September 1984     

Photosynthetic Carbon Fixation Characteristics of Fruiting Structures of Brassica campestris L

Activities of key enzymes of the Calvin cycle and C₄ metabolism, rates of CO₂ fixation, and the initial products of photosynthetic ¹⁴CO₂ fixation were determined in the podwall, seed coat (fruiting structures), and the subtending leaf (leaf below a receme) of Brassica campestris L. cv `Toria.' Compared to activities of ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate carboxylase and other Calvin cycle enzymes, e.g. NADP-glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate-dehydrogenase and ribulose-5-phosphate kinase, the activities of phosphoenol pyruvate carboxylase and other enzymes of C₄ metabolism, viz. NADP-malate dehydrogenase, NADP-malic enzyme, glutamate pyruvate transaminase, and glutamate oxaloacetate transaminase, were generally much higher in seed than in podwall and leaf. Podwall and leaf were comparable to each other. Pulse-chase experiments showed that in seed the major product of ¹⁴CO₂ assimilation was malate (in short time), whereas in podwall and leaf, the label initially appeared in 3-PGA. With time, the label moved to sucrose. In contrast to legumes, Brassica pods were able to fix net CO₂ during light. However, respiratory losses were very high during the dark period.

Asymmetric somatic hybrids of Brassica: partial transfer of B. campestris genome into B. oleracea by cell fusion

Summary To examine the possibility of producing asymmetric somatic hybrids of Brassica having a complete genome of one species and a part of the other, we fused inactivated B. oleracea protoplasts with X-irradiated B. campestris protoplasts. The plants obtained were studied with regard to their morphology, isozymes and chromosomes. The morphology of the hybrids was similar to B. oleracea in 9 out of 22 hybrids studied and the rest showed the intermediate phenotype of the parents. Analysis of three isozymes, leucine aminopeptidase, acid phosphatase and esterase indicated that ten hybrids lost B. campestris-specific bands in one or more of the three isozymes examined. The chromosome analysis showed that 90% of the hybrids were aneuploids. In addition, abnormal chromosomes were often found in root tip cells. These results suggested that the hybrids obtained were asymmetric in nature and resulted from elimination of B. campestris chromosomes by X-ray irradiation.
