用RAPD探讨毛白杨起源

利用RAPD分子标记对山杨、欧洲山杨、银白杨、响叶杨及毛白杨的5个不同类型,即抱头毛白杨、截叶毛白杨、易县毛白杨、陕西毛白杨和南京栽培的毛白杨进行了分析,并进行了银白杨×响叶杨正反交实验,研究杂种后代与毛白杨的关系。RAPD分析说明,毛白杨的亲缘关系与银白杨和响叶杨较近,而与山杨和欧洲山杨的亲缘关系则较远。毛白杨在聚类图上首先是与银白杨和响叶杨聚为一类,再与山杨和欧洲山杨聚在一起。通过比较毛白杨与银白杨和响叶杨的正反交子代,发现毛白杨更接近银白杨×响叶杨的子代,而与反交子代有所区别。由此可见,毛白杨为天然杂种是没有疑义的,而且很可能是银白杨×响叶杨的杂种。本研究筛选出的13个引物,产生了78条谱带,覆盖了基因组的一定区域,其可靠性是较高的。     

Preliminary interspecific genetic maps of the populus genome constructed from RAPD markers.

We have constructed RAPD-based linkage maps for an interspecific cross between two species of the genus Populus (P. adenopoda and P. alba), based on a double pseudo-test-cross strategy. Of a total of 360 polymorphic fragments scored, 290 showed a test-cross configuration, corresponding to DNA polymorphisms heterozygous in one parent and null in the other. In the female parent, P. adenopoda, 82 markers were grouped in 19 different linkage groups (553 cM), whereas in the male parent P. alba, 197 markers established a much more complete framework map with an observed genome length of 2300 cM covering 87% of the total P. alba genome. The larger number of test-cross markers detected for the P. alba parent than for the P. adenopoda parent might be due to a higher level of heterozygosity in the former than in the latter. In this study, we detected only a small percentage (2%) of the intercross dominant markers heterozygous in both parents and segregating 3:1 in the progeny. The further focus in this mapping study should be on the identification of more intercross markers, to align the two parent-specific maps into a consensus map for mapping important genes causing species differentiation during long evolutionary divergences.     

The Crossability of Triticum aestivum with Tetraploid Hordeum bulbosum

In order to study the crossability of wheat with H. bulbosum a series of wheat varieties from various sources and their F1 hybrids as well as tetraploid H. bulbosum from different countries were used as parents in this experiment. The main results of the experiment are showed as follows: 1. Twenty-one wheat varieties from Europe, West Asia, America, China, Australia etc. 11 countries and regions respectively as famele parents were crossed with four tetraploid H. bulbosum from Hungary, USSR, Canada and Germany. The seed set percentages in the intergeneric cross combinations ranged from 0.00% to 49.93%. Statistical analysis revealed that there were significant differences between the seed set percentages of wheat varieties. The crossability, with H. bulbosum might differed in different varieties of wheat from same country. 2. Various F1 hybrids resulting from 13 and 26 intervarietal cross combinations of wheat and their parents were crossed with H. bulbosum from Hungary and USSR respectively in different years. The mean seed set percentages of F1 hybrids, their male and female parents were 26.53%, 15.38%, 20.30% and 39.1%, 34.8%, 26.7% respectively. The results indicated that when some wheat varieties having poor-crossability with H. bulbosum were hybridized with other varieties especially with those varieties having high- crossability, the crossability of their F, hybrids probably had higher crossability than their parents having poor-crossability. Six F1 hybrids of wheat obtained from six com- binations of reciprocal crosses, in which the completely non-crossable varieties Hope, Xiao- Bai-Mang and high-crossable varieties Chinese Spring, Fortunate were used as male or female parent alternately, were crossed as female parents with H. bulbosum. All of 6 F1 hybrids were crossable and gave the percentage of seed set from 7.00% to 42.57%, although they ought to carry the dominant Kr genes responsible for non-crossability, which were passed on to F1 hybrids by non-crossable varieties, the parent Hope or Xiao-Bai- Mang. Clearly that is due to the gene interaction between female and male parents. Be- sides Kr loci in wheat, probably other genes can influence the crossability. 3. There were significant differences between clones of H. bulbosum in the crossa- bilities with wheat. In conclusion F1 hybrids of wheat have higher crossability with H. bulbosum than their parents having poor-crossability. This could be advantageous for exploitation of this technique. By selecting even more efficient clones of H. bulbosum and improving embryo culture techniques, the H. bulbosum technique will be used in wheat breeding program- mes probably.     

小麦杂交种与亲本发育早期种子的基因表达差异及其与杂种优势关系的初步研究

为深入探讨小麦杂种优势形成的分子机理,选取3个冬小麦品种(系)为一组亲本,3个为另一组亲本,配制了正反交18个杂交组合,以授粉后6d的杂交和自交种子为材料,应用mRNA差异显示技术(DDRT—PCR)研究了小麦杂交当代种子与其亲本自交种子基因的表达差异,并与杂种优势进行相关分析。为降低DDRT—PCR技术假阳性的不利影响,对每个引物组合均作了两次PCR扩增,在处理数据时,仅统计能重复出现的条带。结果发现：杂交种和亲本之间的基因表达模式有8类共15种：(1)单亲沉默型(2种),(2)单亲一致型(2种),(3)正交或反交沉默型(2种),(4)正交或反交特异型(2种),(5)正交或反交单亲一致型(4种),(6)杂交种特异型(1种),(7)双亲共沉默型(1种),(8)表达一致型(1种)。分析发现,小麦杂交种和亲本间存在显著的表达差异。在差异表达类型中,杂交种特异型和双亲共沉默型比例最低。对上述15种表达模式与杂种优势进行相关分析,结果表明,表达一致型与各产量性状杂种优势之间的相关均不显著,说明杂种优势是由某些有表达差异的基因造成。9个产量性状均能检测到一种以上与其显著或极显著相关的基因表达模式,有些性状受正负相关效应的共同影响;沉默型(包括单亲沉默型、正交或反交沉默型和双亲共沉默型)和正交或反交单亲一致型在杂种优势形成中发挥重要作用。这些研究表明,在种子发育早期,基因的差异表达与杂种优势形成之间可能存在较为复杂的关系。     

Genetic characterization of asymmetric reciprocal hybridization between the flatfishes <Emphasis Type="Italic">Paralichthys olivaceus</Emphasis> and <Emphasis Type="Italic">Paralichthys dentatus</Emphasis>

Interspecific reciprocal crosses between the two flatfishes Paralichthys olivaceus and P. dentatus yielded hybrids with different viabilities. Specifically, the hybrids of P. olivaceus female and P. dentatus male (HI) were found to be viable, while the reciprocal hybrids from P. dentatus female and P. olivaceus male (HII) were completely inviable. All the HII individuals showed morphological deformities and died before first feeding. The chromosome analysis showed that HI individuals had the same chromosome number as parents. However, two chromosomes were missing in HII offspring indicating that the latter were aneuploids. Genomic inheritance from the parents to F₁ progeny was also examined by amplified fragment length polymorphism (AFLP) analyses, and the results showed differences between reciprocal hybrids. Almost all AFLP bands (97.71%) observed in parents were passed on to HI individuals. In contrast, only 86.64% of the AFLP bands from parents were scored in HII individuals. Frequency of lost parental bands was thus significantly higher in HII than that in HI and intraspecific crosses, which was probably associated with chromosomal elimination. In addition, higher segregation distortions were found in hybrids than in controls, although these differences were not significant. The present study indicates that chromosomal elimination and loss of AFLP loci occurred in inviable HII individuals, while such genomic changes were not found in viable HI individuals. Possible implications of such difference on genomic changes for asymmetric viability in reciprocal hybrids are discussed.     

RAPD Linkage Mapping in a Populus adenopoda×P. alba F1 Family

Random amplified polymorphic DNAs(RAPDs) were used to construct linkage maps of the parents of a Populus adenopoda Maxim. x P. alba L. Fl family. A set of 620 random oligonucleotide primers were screened and 128 primers were selected to generate RAPD markers within a sample of 80 Fl progenies. A total of 333 segregating loci [ (326( 1:1 ) ,7(3:1 ) ] were identified. Among the 326 1:1 segregating loci (238 loci from P. adenopoda and 88 loci from P. dba),36 loci (26 loci in P. adenopoda and 10 loci in P. dba) were found distorted from the normal 1:1 ratio. Altogether 290 loci segregating 1:1 (testcross configuration) were used to construct parent-specific linkage maps,212 for P. alba and 78 for P. adenopoda. The resulting linkage maps consisted of 189 marker loci in 20 groups (four or more loci per group), 6 triples and 16 pairs for P. dba, which cover the map distance about 2 402.4 cM, and 41 linked marker loci for P. adenopoda which cover map distance about 479.4 cM. Further study is warranted to locate some important quantitative trait loci (QTLs) based on the maps.     

Clonality and spatial genetic structure in Populus x canescens and its sympatric backcross parent P. alba in a Central European hybrid zone.

Spatial genetic structure (SGS) holds the key to understanding the role of clonality in hybrid persistence, but multilocus SGS in hybrid zones has rarely been quantified. Here, the aim was to fill this gap for natural hybrids between two diploid, ecologically divergent European tree species with mixed sexual/asexual reproduction, Populus alba and P. tremula. Nuclear microsatellites were used to quantify clonality, SGS, and historical gene dispersal distances in up to 407 trees from an extensive Central European hybrid zone including three subpopulation replicates. The focus was on P. x canescens and its backcross parent P. alba, as these two genotypic classes co-occur and interact directly. Sexual recombination in both taxa was more prominent than previously thought, but P. x canescens hybrids tended to build larger clones extending over larger areas than P. alba. The 3.4 times stronger SGS in the P. x canescens genet population was best explained by a combination of interspecific gene flow, assortative mating, and increased clonality in hybrids. Clonality potentially contributes to the maintenance of hybrid zones of P. alba and P. tremula in time and space. Both clonality and SGS need to be taken into account explicitly when designing population genomics studies of locus-specific effects in hybrid zones.     

甘蓝型油菜Ogura 雄性不育×白菜的回交杂种后代与亲本之间蕾期基因表达差异比较研究*

以甘蓝型油菜（Brassica napus L, AACC,2n＝38）Ogura细胞质雄性不育材料为母本,以不同白菜（B campestris ssp. chinensis Makino, AA, 2n＝20） 自交系‘新选一号’和‘矮脚黄’为父本进行杂交,获得了杂种F1、BC1、BC2代。利用cDNA-AFLP技术对两种材料的不同回交世代BC1、BC2代与其亲本在蕾期的基因表达进行分析。结果表明,两种白菜回交世代与其亲本的基因表达有明显差异,在质和量上都存在差异。基因表达模式有5类共7种：（1）单亲沉默型（2种）,（2）单亲一致型（2种）,（3）双亲共沉默型,（4）杂种特异型,（5）表达一致型。随着回交世代的增加,回交杂种和亲本的基因表达在单亲沉默型、双亲共沉默型呈增加趋势。而在母本一致型、父本一致型、杂交种特异型、表达一致型呈下降的趋势。两种白菜在F1、BC1、BC2 3个世代与回交亲本花蕾间的基因差异表达有15种类型,其中以在轮回亲本、F1、BC1、BC2中共同出现表达的带的比例最高。Abstract: Crosses between female parent of Ogura male sterility Brassica napus L. and male parents of B. campestris ssp. chinensis Makino were made and F1, BC1 and BC2 generations produced. Gene expression of two Chinese cabbage backcross hybrid BC1, BC2 and their parents at bud stage was analyzed by means of cDNA-AFLP technique. The results indicated that the patterns of gene expression differ significantly between BC1 and BC2 generations and their parents. There were many patterns of gene expression, including gene overexpression and gene silencing. Five patterns (seven kinds) of gene expression were observed, which include: (1) bands occurring in only one parent (two kinds); (2) bands observed in hybrids and one parent (two kinds); (3) bands occurring in only parents (one kind); (4) bands visualized in only hybrids (one kind); (5) bands observed in parents and hybrids (one kind). In accompany with the addition of backcross, the increase trend in backcross hybrids and their parents were described in the aspects of differential gene expression, bands expressed only in one parent and bands expressed only in both parents. The declined trend in backcross hybrids and their parents were observed in the aspects of bands expressed in both hybrids and one parent (two kinds), bands visualized in only hybrids and bands observed in parents and hybrid. Fifteen patterns of gene expression were observed in F1、BC1、BC2 and backcross parents. The percent of bands expressed in F1、BC1、BC2 and backcross was highest.

The interspecific hybrid Petunia parodii × P. inflata and its relevance to somatic hybridization in the genus Petunia

Summary Attempts at the reciprocal cross between Petunia parodii and P. inflata using standard emasculation and pollination techniques failed. Limited pollen tube growth down the style in reciprocal crosses led to reproductive isolation between the self-compatible P. parodii and self-incompatible P. inflata. The interspecific hybrid was successfully produced by bud-pollination of P. parodii with P. inflata as the male parent in 22 percent of attempts, but not in the opposite direction. In vitro pollination of P. parodii ovaries with P. inflata pollen also produced hybrids. The small size of the ovary made it technically impossible to use P. inflata as the female parent for in vitro pollination. The interspecific hybrids were intermediate, as compared to the two parents, for six of the seven plant and flower characters measured. Furthermore, the hybrids had high pollen fertility, set abundant seed upon self-pollination, and readily inter-crossed with the parental species. The results are consistent with a high degree of chromosomal homology in the parental species and with minor genetic divergency leading to reproductive isolation that is pre-zygotic in nature. Overcoming the barriers to cross-incompatibility by practical techniques resulted in fertile interspecific hybrids that segregated for parental characters. The potential value of employing the parental species in somatic hybridization experiments is discussed.Michigan Agricultural Experiment Station Journal Article No. 8404     

Inheritance of rapeseed (Brassica napus)-specific RAPD markers and a transgene in the cross B. juncea x (B. juncea x B. napus)

We have examined the inheritance of 20 rapeseed (Brassica napus)-specific RAPD (randomly amplified polymorphic DNA) markers from transgenic, herbicide-tolerant rapeseed in 54 plants of the BC₁ generation from the cross B. junceax(B. junceaxB. napus). Hybridization between B. juncea and B. napus, with B. juncea as the female parent, was successful both in controlled crosses and spontaneously in the field. The controlled backcrossing of selected hybrids to B. juncea, again with B. juncea as the female parent, also resulted in many seeds. The BC₁ plants contained from 0 to 20 of the rapeseed RAPD markers, and the frequency of inheritance of individual RAPD markers ranged from 19% to 93%. The transgene was found in 52% of the plants analyzed. Five synteny groups of RAPD markers were identified. In the hybrids pollen fertility was 0–28%. The hybrids with the highest pollen fertility were selected as male parents for backcrossing, and pollen fertility in the BC₁ plants was improved (24–90%) compared to that of the hybrids.     

Species separation of Taxus baccata, T. canadensis, and T. cuspidata (Taxaceae) and origins of their reputed hybrids inferred from RAPD and cpDNA data

Species delimitation in Taxus (Taxaceae) has been controversial due to high levels of phenotypic plasticity. Reputed hybrids between species have been questioned due to the original crosses' accidental nature and the uncertainty regarding the parent species' distinctness. In this study 19 samples from three species (T. baccata, T. canadensis, T. cuspidata) and 31 from putative hybrids (T. × hunnewelliana, T. × media) have been DNA-fingerprinted using RAPDs and characterized for their respective chloroplast genotype using restriction digestions of polymerase chain reaction- (PCR) amplified trnL-F fragments. All samples showed unique RAPD banding profiles. Twenty-one RAPD bands were species-specific; the presence of these bands in the putative hybrids confirmed the hybrid origin and parentage suspected from morphological studies (T. cuspidata × T. canadensis = T. × hunnewelliana, T. baccata × T. cuspidata = T. × media). Principal coordinates analysis (PCO) and unweighted pair-group method algorithm (UPGMA) analyses of RAPD bands clearly separated the species, indicating that they belong to discrete genetic stocks and supporting their individual species status. The two hybrid groups also clustered discretely. Chloroplast typing confirmed the direction of crosses. The data further suggested that repeated reciprocal crossings occurred in the production of the hybrid cultivars.     

三倍体罗汉果及其亲本的同工酶比较研究

为了加快三倍体罗汉果育种的进程和效率,进一步提高其亲本选择性,该文对F1代3x罗汉果与其4x和2x亲本的过氧化物酶(POD)同工酶和酯酶(EST)同工酶进行了比较。结果表明:F1代3x罗汉果与其4x和2x亲本的POD和EST同工酶均有一定差异,3x和4x的POD和EST同工酶不同迁移率的平均酶带数目较2x多,酶带活性也较强;4x的POD同工酶数目较3x的多,但EST同工酶两者差异较小;F1代3x罗汉果的同工酶均出现了与其4x和2x亲本不同的新酶带,预示着其可能具有的杂种优势;聚类分析结果显示,F1代3x罗汉果与其4x母本的遗传距离更近,并且当4x母本间亲缘遗传关系较近时,其F1代3x在亲缘遗传上也相聚较近,说明F1代3x在亲缘遗传上更倾向于其4x母本。由于三倍体罗汉果育种亲本间存在杂种优势,且更倾向于其母本遗传,因此通过该研究可以初步总结出三倍体罗汉果及其父本、母本的遗传规律,并提出罗汉果三倍体良种选育的建议,即在3x罗汉果育种时需要更加关注4x母本的优良性状表现,并以亲本的遗传背景为基础,选择遗传差异较为显著的父本和母本。     

Characterization of somatic hybrids of potato by use of RAPD markers and isozyme analysis

Electrofusion of mesophyll protoplasts from two male sterile dihaploid Solanum tuberosum genotypes. DHAK-11 and DHAK-33, was performed. Selection of putative fusion products was based on vigorous callus growth. Regeneration of rooted putative hybrid plants was scored 14 weeks after fusion. Characterization of hybrids was performed by use of morphological assessment, random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD), and cytological and isozyme analysis. The rate of regenerated hybrids from callus was ca 6%. Of the putative hybrids, 45% were confirmed as true hybrids. Morphological assessment of the putative hybrids revealed that tetraploid and neartetraploid hybrids were vigorous plants with intermediate characteristics between the two parental phenotypes in respect to internode length, leaf size and shape, and purple pigmentation on the abaxial side of the leaves. Near-hexaploid hybrids were slender plants with small leaves and short petioles. Selected RAPD primers showed unique marker bands for the two parental genotypes. Hybrid plants revealed the unique marker bands from both parents. A total of 53 randomly chosen decamer primers were tested and 26 primers (49%) detected polymorphism between the two dihaploid parentals. Two primers revealed that one parental marker band was missing in two aneuploid hybrids. However, of 51 putative hybrids, a double test with two independently chosen primers showed unequivocally the hybrid character of 23 plants. The ploidy level of the hybrids was analysed by chromosome numbers in root tip cells and by number of guard cell chloroplasts. A strong correlation between the chromosome number and the number of chloroplasts was obtained. The hybrid nature of all RAPD-verified hybrids was confirmed by isozyme analysis with malate dehydrogenase.     

Comparison of somatic and sexual Brassica napus - Sinapis alba hybrids and their progeny by cytogenetic studies and molecular characterization.

Reciprocal crosses were performed between Brassica napus (AACC, 2n = 38) cv. Brutor and Sinapis alba (SalSal, 2n = 24) cv. Carine. Using fertilized ovary culture, 2.2 and 1.9% of interspecific hybrids were produced when white mustard was the female and the male parent, respectively. On S. alba cytoplasm, three plants with a BC1-like structure (SalSalAC, 2n = 43) were obtained and ACSal (2n = 31) and AACCSal (2n = 50) hybrids on reciprocal crosses. At the same ploidy level, no differences in meiotic behavior were observed. The amphidiploids (AACCSalSal, 2n = 62), produced after colchicine treatment of ACSal hybrids, were compared with the somatic hybrids previously obtained from the same parental varieties. Only two somatic hybrids differed and one of them lost Idh-2 rapeseed isozymes, whereas all the plants presented an hybrid pattern for all the other molecular markers. The plants with 50 chromosomes (AACCSal) from sexual hybrids were similar whatever their origins. Their comparison with back-cross progeny of somatic hybrids revealed that the latter one differed either by chromosome number, ranging from 42 to 54, or by the percentage of cells with less than 12 univalents and with multivalents. From our results, the efficiency of protoplast fusion compared with sexual crosses as a tool to introduce new traits in a crop is discussed.     

SSR分子标记鉴定山葡萄和河岸葡萄种间杂种

Occurrence of partial hybrids in wide crosses between sunflower ( Helianthus annuus) and perennial species H. mollisand H. orgyalis

Hybridisation between the annual diploid sunflower (Helianthus annuus) and the perennial diploid species Helianthus mollis and Helianthus orgyalis was obtained by means of a normal crossing procedure or embryo rescue. Hybridisation success was low. All plants examined cytologically appeared to be diploid. However, the phenotypes of these diploids were not intermediate between the parents and, despite great variation, they resembled the female parent-type predominantly. Thirty five percent of plants issued from sunflower pollinated with perennial Helianthus had a phenotype resembling the female sunflower parent. On average, only 5% of the minimum number of expected RAPD and RFLP bands from male parents were recovered in plants produced from mature seeds after pollination of sunflower by H. mollis. More hybrids were found among plants obtained from embryo rescue, with an average of 25% of the male parent bands recovered per plant. Analysis of individual plants indicated the occurrence of various levels of hybridisation. There was a significant positive correlation between the number of phenotype traits related to hybrid status and the number of bands derived from the male parent. A single hybrid plant might possibly represent the product of a ’normal’ hybridisation event. The mechanisms behind these unusual events and the consequences for the breeder are discussed.

Preliminary research of the RAPD molecular marker-assisted breeding of the edible basidiomycete Stropharia rugoso-annulata

Summary The average RAPD molecular genetic distance was proposed as a criterion in selecting monokaryotic parents for cross breeding and predicting the performance of hybrids of the mushroom Stropharia rugoso-annulata. Three groups of cross pairs or hybrids were recognized based on the average RAPD genetic distance of the monokaryotic parental population. The RAPD-based molecular genetic distance significantly correlated with hybrid mycelial growth rate and mycelial growth heterosis, and their determination coefficients were 0.9237 and 0.8464 respectively. One of the hybrids in group I showed more vigorous mycelial growth in different pH conditions, incubation temperatures, carbon and nitrogen sources, and higher mushroom yield compared with its dikaryotic parent. These results suggested that RAPD-based molecular genetic distance of the monokaryotic parents might be a suitable criterion for selecting monokaryotic parents and predicting the performance of hybrids in mushroom cross breeding.
