Somatic hybridization between birdsfoot trefoil (Lotus corniculatus L.) and L. conimbricensis Willd

Summary Somatic hybrid plants were produced by fusion of birdsfoot trefoil (Lotus corniculatus) cv Leo and L. conimbricensis Willd. protoplasts. Birdsfoot trefoil etiolated hypocotyl protoplasts were inactivated with iodoacetate to inhibit cell division prior to fusion with L. conimbricensis suspension culture protoplasts. L. conimbricensis protoplasts divided to form callus which did not regenerate plants. Thus, plant regeneration from protoplast-derived callus was used to tentatively identify somatic hybrid cell lines. Plants regenerated from three cell lines exhibited additive combinations of parental isozymes of phosphoglucomutase, and L. conimbricensis-specific esterases indicating that they were somatic hybrids. The somatic chromosome number of one somatic hybrid was 36. The other somatic hybrid exhibited variable chromosome numbers ranging from 33 to 40. These observations approximate the expected combination of the birdsfoot trefoil (2n=4x=24) and L. conimbricensis (2n=2x=12) genomes. Somatic hybrid flowers were less yellow than birdsfoot trefoil flowers and had purple keel tips, a trait inherited from the white flowered L. conimbricensis. Somatic hybrids also had inflorescence structure that was intermediate to the parents. Fifteen somatic hybrid plants regenerated from the three callus lines were male sterile. Successul fertilization in backcrosses with birdsfoot trefoil pollen has not yet been obtained suggesting that the hybrids are also female sterile. This is the first example of somatic hybridization between these two sexually incompatible Lotus species.Formerly USDA-ARS, St. Paul, Minn, USA     

Foraging behaviour of honey bees (Apis mellifera L.) on transgenic oilseed rape (Brassica napus L.var. oleifera)

The impact of genetically modified oilseed rape (Brassica napus L.) on the foraging behaviour of honey bees (Apis mellifera L.) was evaluated on two different lines transformed to express constitutively heterologous chitinase in somatic tissue for enhanced disease resistance. Experiments were conducted in confinement in an indoor flight room with controlled conditions and in an outdoor flight cage with conditions more representative of the open environment. Foraging behaviour was analysed by observations of general bee behaviour (total number of visits) and of individual bee behaviour (using a video camera coupled with a special software program to process the data). The plants were analysed in terms of nectar quantity and quality (nectar volume and sugar content). The results showed no effects on bee foraging behaviour due to the modification of the genome of these plants by the introduction of a chitinase gene even though some differences between lines were found in the nectar. The methods applied in this original approach for the evaluation of the impact of genetically modified oilseed rape were shown to be sufficiently sensitive to detect changes in bee behaviour resulting from differences between plants.     

Analysis of genomic DNA methylation patterns in regenerated and control plants of rye (Secale cereale L.)

Rye (Secale cereale L.) is a species that has shown high rates of somaclonal variation when plants obtained by in vitro culture were analysed using different techniques. In this study, using methylation-sensitive amplified polymorphism (MSAP) markers, we analysed the cytosine methylation status at genomic level of regenerated plants of rye that were obtained by somatic embryogenesis. Such plants were originated from three different cell lines and the results were compared with the data obtained from the control plants grown from seeds of the same cultivar and lot. A similar total number of MSAP markers was observed in the regenerated (937) and control plants (1,022), while the mean number detected per plant was significantly higher in regenerated (554.43) than in control plants (356.00). The analysis indicated conservation of the number of partially-methylated CCGG/GGCC sites for all type of plants. However the mean number of non-methylated sites was near twofold in the regenerated plants (442.48) than in control plants (248.19). Methylation changes have been detected in all the regenerated plants when compared within cell lines, with an average frequency of 9.01 % of the detected markers. We also observed that regenerated plants from one or several cell lines shared methylation changes at the same locus pointing to a non-random behaviour of the changes in genomic methylation.

Sitona weevils (Coleoptera: Curculionidae) as agents for rapid transfer of nitrogen from white clover (Trifolium repens L.) to perennial ryegrass (Lolium perenne L.)

The effects of root feeding by larvae of Sitona hispidulus (F.) (a common weevil pest of white clover) on the rate of transfer of nitrogen between plants of white clover (Trifolium repens L.) and perennial ryegrass (Lolium perenne L.) were investigated using a nutrient slant board technique. Clover plants, labelled with ¹⁵N were grown adjacent to ryegrass plants and were either infested with Sitona larvae or not infested. Ryegrass plants associated with the infested clover plants had a significantly higher dry matter yield and nitrogen content (75% and 74% respectively) than the uninvested plants, after 33 days exposure to insect herbivory. It was concluded that root feeding insects could play an important role in the cycling of nitrogen in grass/clover swards.     

A comparison of ovule abortion in self-incompatible and self-fertile lines of white clover (Trifolium repens L.)

Plants of white clover (Trifolium repens L.) cv. Olwen and three genotypes of each of three self-fertile inbred lines of white clover were grown from seed in a bee-proof glasshouse. When in flower, a series of crosses within and between the self-incompatible (SI) and self-fertile (SF) lines was made and ovule growth and seed production measured 7 and 28 days after pollination (DAP) respectively. At harvest, the SF plants had a lower proportion of ovules aborting and more seeds per floret than the SI plants, though the mean seed weight of the SI plants was greater. Ovule abortion was observed in both the SF and SI plants though the number of aborted ovules was greater in the SI plants. The stage when abortion occurred also differed. All of the ovule abortion in the SI plants occurred within a 7-day period after pollination. In the SF plants, some abortion was observed in this period but also between 7 and 28 DAP, when the seed was harvested. This suggested that abortion, up to 7 DAP, is due primarily to genetic factors whilst subsequent abortion, between 7 and 28 DAP, is due to non-genetic factors.     

Production and analysis of plants that are somatic hybrids of barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) and carrot (Daucus carota L.)

In order to obtain plants that were somatic hybrids of barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) and carrot (Daucus carota L.), we fused protoplasts that had been isolated from 6-month-old suspension cultures of carrot cells with protoplasts isolated from barley mesophyll by electrofusion. After culture for 1 month at 25°C , the cells were cultured for 5 weeks at 4°C , and were then returned to 25°C for culture on a shoot-inducing medium. Three plants (nos. 1, 2 and 3) were regenerated from the cells. The morphology of the regenerated plants closely resembled that of the parental carrot plants. A cytological analysis of callus cultures induced from these plants indicated that most of the cells had about 24 chromosomes, fewer than the sum of the numbers of parent chromosomes which was 32. Southern hybridization analysis with fragments of the rgp1 gene used as probe showed that the regenerated plants contained both barley and carrot genomic DNA. Chloroplast (ct) and mitochondrial (mt) DNAs were also analyzed with several probes. The ctDNA of the regenerated plants yielded hybridization bands specific for both barley and carrot when one fragment of rice ctDNA was used as probe. Furthermore, the regenerated plants yielded a barley specific band and a novel band with another fragment of rice ct DNA as a probe. One of the regenerated plants (no. 1) yielded a novel pattern of hybridized bands of mt DNA (with an atp6 probe) that was not detected with either of the parents. These results indicated that the regenerated plants were somatic hybrids of barley and carrot and that recombination of both the chloroplast genomes and the mitochondrial genomes might have occurred.

Plant regeneration via somatic embryogenesis in pea (Pisum sativum L.)

Whole plant regeneration via somatic embryogenesis was obtained in pea (Pisum sativum L.) using explants from immature embryos or shoot apex segments. The induction of somatic embryos required picloram or 2,4-D. Germination of fully-developed embryos was accomplished by subculture on medium with only cytokinin and then on medium supplemented with cytokinins in combination with a reduced auxin concentration. Plantlets obtained from both zygotic embryos and shoot apices were transferred to soil and were grown to maturity. Nine plants were examined cytologically, revealing three tetraploids (2n=4x=28) and six diploids (2n=2x=14).Abbreviations Picloram 4-amino-3,5,6-trichloropicolinic acid - 2,4-D 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid - NAA 1-naphthaleneacetic acid - BA 6-benzylaminopurine - IBA indole-3-butyric acid KAES Journal Article No. 87-3-4
