为了揭示多拷贝基因的进化方式, 对濒危植物木根麦冬(Ophiopogon xylorrhizus Wang et Dai) 3个居群、6个个体的294个5S rR NA 基因拷贝及其姐妹种林生麦冬(O. sylvicola Wang et Tang)的45个拷贝进行了DNA测序和序列分析,并以这个迄今发表的最大的单个物种的5S rRNA基因数据,以PAUP程序重建了分子系统发育树.结果表明: 1)所得序列呈高度多样性,长度变化在307~548碱基之间,仅13对(3.8%)相同,序列分化指数较高:木根麦冬是0.078,林生麦冬是0.032,两物种间是0.149; 2)100%的统计值支持两物种的5S rRNA 基因分别来自于祖先种的一个拷贝,即"建立者拷贝",这个拷贝在物种形成之后进行了一系列连续的扩增,形成一个直系的基因家族,而祖先种的其他拷贝在物种形成后被丢失; 3)不同拷贝是独立进化的,序列间的一致化过程很弱,这在串联重复的rR N A基因中是罕见的; 4)木根麦冬居群间曾存在频繁的基因交流,使5S rRNA 基因的许多拷贝扩散于不同居群,维持着种内较高的遗传多样性.可以认为是某些近期发生的变化,阻止了居群间的基因交流,导致该物种广泛的自交,发生自交衰退,并最后导致濒危. 相似文献

The influence of culture temperature and gas atmosphere on in-vitro fertilization and embryo development was examined in the domestic cat. In Exp. 1, eggs were fertilized and cultured in 5% CO2 in air at 37, 38 or 39 degrees C. Experiment 2 evaluated the effects of 5% CO2 in air; 5% CO2, 5% O2 and 90% N2; and 10% CO2 in air. Fertilization (cleavage) and development to the morula/blastocyst stage were not influenced (P greater than 0.05) by variations in temperature and gas composition. Despite changing these culture conditions, egg cleavage averaged approximately 75% and greater than 80% of the 2-cell embryos proceeded to morulae in vitro. However, the partial in-vitro morula-to-blastocyst developmental block normally observed in this species was not removed. 相似文献

Platycrater arguta Sieb. et Zucc. is a rare and endangered species endemic to East Asia. It produces two floral morphs viz. bisexual and male
flowers. For bisexual flowers, simultaneous cytokinesis in the microsporocyte meiosis leads to a tetrahedral tetrad. The mature
pollen grain is shed at 2-cell stage. The young anther wall is composed of epidermis, endothecium that develops fibrous thickenings
at maturity, 1–2 middle layers and tapetum. The tapetum with uninucleate to binucleate cells, disintegrates in situ (glandular
tapetum), yet in a small percentage of the anthers (about 37.6%), the tapetum does not disintegrate, causing complete male
sterility. The ovules are anatropous, unitegmic, tenuinucellar and the formation of the embryo sac follows the monosporic,
Polygonum type. Antipodal cells are lacking in the mature embryo sacs. Before fertilization, two polar nuclei fuse into a
secondary nucleus. The formation of microsporangial wall, microsporogenesis and male gametogenesis in male flowers are analogous
to those in the bisexual. Prezygotic embryological characters ofP. arguta were reported for the first time, revealing that its endangerment is correlated with the abortion of pollen of a part but
not to the female development that is normal. 相似文献

The development of the anther wall follows Basic-type. The cytokinesis at the time of pollen mother cell meiosis conforms to successive type. The arrangement of the microspores in the tetrad is referred to isobilateral. The primary wall between the generative cell and the vegetative cell is callose. The callose wall is easily detected under the fluorescence microscope. The mature pollen grain is 2-celled type. The ovule is bitegminous, tenui-nucellar and anatropous. The development of the female gametophyte follows Fritillaria-type. The mature embryo sac. consists of the six cells including the seven nuclei. The fertilization is referred to the premitotic syngamy type. The fusion of the female and male nucleoli is not observed at the end of the fertilization. The division of the primary endosperm nucleus is earlier than that of the zygote. The development of the endosperm is referred to nuclear type. The division of the zygote is transverse of longitudinal, the development of the embryo conforms to Onagradtype. When the seed is mature, the embryo is at the proembryo stage without differentiation and the endosperm cells are not absorbed. 相似文献

瘤背石磺(Onchidium struma)是雌雄同体、异体交配的腹足纲贝类,其生殖系统较为复杂,通过解剖学和组织切片技术对成体瘤背石磺的生殖系统及产卵前后的组织学变化进行了系统的研究.结果表明:(1)雄性生殖系统主要南阴茎囊、阴茎、雄性附性腺、两性腺(早期主要产生精于)和储精囊等部分组成,而雌性生殖系统则由两性腺(后期主要产生卵子)、生殖细胞输送管、蛋白腺、黏液腺、受精囊和阴道等组成;(2)雄性生殖系统的组织学结构在产卵前后变化较小,但两性腺、卵蛋白腺和黏液腺的组织学在产卵前后变化显著;(3)产卵后的两性腺由于成熟卵子的排放,整体结构松散,部分腺泡中有少量未排出的成熟卵细胞和卵黄合成早期的卵母细胞;(4)产卵前的卵蛋白腺中含有许多强嗜碱性的小颗粒(组织学结构类似于卵鞘中的胚胎外周蛋白),产卵后腺体中的颗粒相对较大,且呈嗜酸性;(5)产卵前的黏液腺中存在嗜碱性区、嗜酸性区和混杂区三种区域,但是产卵前黏液腺以嗜酸性细胞为主,而产卵后的黏液腺中以嗜碱性细胞区域为主,且分泌管道中有一些嗜碱性物质.由此可见,卵蛋白腺的主要功能是分泌卵蛋白包裹受精卵形成卵外周蛋白层,而黏液腺则在产卵过程中分泌黏液物质形成卵鞘结构及链状的卵带. 相似文献

In sexually reproducing species, fertilization brings together in the zygote the genomes of the female and male gametes. In several animal species, female gametes are able to initiate embryogenesis in the absence of fertilization, a process referred to as parthenogenesis. Parthenogenesis has been engineered in mice by tampering with expression of loci under epigenetic controls [1]. In plants, embryo development in the absence of fertilization has been reported in cases in which meiosis is bypassed leading to apomictic development, and parthenogenetic development from a reduced egg cell has been only reported in rare accidental cases [2]. We report that single mutations in the gene MULTICOPY SUPPRESSOR OF IRA 1 (MSI1) are able to initiate parthenogenetic development of the embryo in Arabidopsis thaliana from eggs cells produced by meiosis. The WD40 repeat protein MSI1 is part of the evolutionarily conserved Polycomb group (PcG) chromatin-remodeling complexes [3] and is homologous to the Retinoblastoma binding proteins P55 in Drosophila and RbAp48 in mammals [4]. Nonviable haploid parthenogenetic msi1 embryos express molecular markers and polarity similar to diploid wild-type (wt) embryos produced by fertilization, indicating a maternal contribution to early patterning of the Arabidopsis embryo. 相似文献

Domestic cat oocytes were cultured either in Waymouth MB 753/1 Medium (WAY) or in Eagle's Minimum Essential Medium (MEM) containing FSH, LH and estradiol-17beta and supplememted with one of the following: 5% fetal calf serum (FCS); 4 mg/ml bovine serum albumin (BSA); or 3 mg/ml polyvinylalcohol (PVA, a non-protein control). The oocytes were evaluated for: nuclear maturation after 48 hours of culture (in vitro maturation, IVM); fertilization and cleavage 24 to 30 hours postinsemination (in vitro fertilization, IVF); and early embryo development 48 hours postinsemination. Maturation rates were similar (P>0.05) for WAY + BSA (29.4%), MEM + BSA (46.7%) and MEM + PVA (43.3%), but were different (P<0.05) from the other treatments (range, WAY + FCS, 9.6% to WAY + PVA, 14.9%). Fertilization and cleavage rates were also similar (P>0.05) for WAY + BSA (51.4%, 30.5%), MEM + BSA (45.8%, 40.1%) and MEM + PVA (56.1%, 37.4%) and were greater (P<0.05) than all other treatments. These IVM/IVF oocytes were capable of culturing beyond 2-cells, with the highest proportion of 4- and 8- cell embryos forming in WAY and MEM media in the presence of BSA or in MEM medium containing PVA. In the domestic cat IVM/IVF system: both the type of culture medium and protein supplement influence the proportion of oocytes reaching Metaphase II; the type of protein supplement has a more significant (P<0.05) impact than medium on fertilization, cleavage and early embryo development; and nuclear maturation and fertilization in vitro can proceed in this species in the absence of supplementary protein. 相似文献

通过GMA半薄切片技术对APⅣ不同类型水稻(Oryza sativa L.)胚囊的受精及其胚胎发育的研究表明,APⅣ中5-2-l型胚囊的3个卵细胞在少数情况下都可受精并发育形成3个胚;但多数情况只有 1个或2个卵细胞受精发育成1个胚或2个胚。6-2-0型和5-3-0型胚囊多个卵受精频率都很低。由此证明APIV多胚是来自如5-2-1型胚囊的多卵卵器胚囊多个卵细胞都受精的结果,其中3胚来自3个卵细胞受精发育,2胚来自2个卵细胞受精发育。双套结构胚囊受精最为复杂,多数情况是受精不正常,只有少数子房大、小胚囊中的卵细胞都能正常受精。大胚囊中的卵细胞受精发育可能是形成所谓中位胚(远离珠孔端胚)的主要原因。 相似文献

Anemarrhena asphodeloides Bunge is the only species of Anemarrhena in Liliaceae, which possesses three stamens. The flowers in this species have following features:
(1) Crystalliferous cells are present in the perianth and the filament. (2) Epidermal cells of
filaments and the inner perianth appears verruciform. (3) In longitudinal section, a number
of the multicellular hairs were found in the apex of the inner perianth. The above characteristics of Anemarrhena are possibly important and differ from those of the other genera in
Liliaceae.
The main aim of the present paper is to deal with the female gametophyte and embryogenesis in Anemarrhena. The development of embryo sac is similar to that of Ornithogalum
(Tilton et al., 1981), belonging to the Polygonum type, but there is a short embryo sac haustorium at the antipodal end. Before fertilization the two polar muclei fuse into a secondary nucleus. The filiform apparatus was found in the synergid.
The early development of proembryo in Anemarrhena is similar to that of Najas (Hu,
1982). After fertilization the zygote has a short stage of dormancy. When the endosperm
has 12-16 free nuclei, the first division of the zygote takes place, forming an apical cell and
a basal cell. Then the apical cell undergoes transversal divisions 2 or 3 times, forming a line
of three to four cells. The basal cell usually does not further divide.
The endosperm formation in Anemarrhena is the Helobial type. The small chalazal chamber is usually ephemeral and 2-4-nucleate, while the large micropylar one may be a multi-nucleate before wall formation. 相似文献

After in vitro maturation and fertilization of porcine oocytes, the fertilized embryos were cultured under 5 or 20% oxygen (O2) for 7 days. In embryos cultured under 5% O2 versus 20% O2, development to the blastocyst stage was higher (36.3% versus 22.5%, P < 0.05); the hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) content as a reactive oxygen species was lower (92 pixels versus 111 pixels, P < 0.05); and fragmentation of DNA in 8- to 16-cell stage embryos (estimated by the comet assay) resulted in a shorter (P < 0.05) DNA tail (36 microm versus 141 microm). Antioxidants such as beta-mercaptoethanol (beta-ME) and Vitamin-E (Vit-E) suppressed oxidative damage in the embryos and improved their developmental ability. For embryos cultured under 20% O2, there were the following differences (P < 0.05) between embryos exposed to 0 microM versus 50 microM beta-ME: 28% versus 57% developed to the blastocyst stage; 125 pixels versus 98 pixels per embryo in H2O2 content; and a DNA tail of 209 microm versus 105 microm. In addition, for embryos cultured under 20% O2, there were also differences (P < 0.05) between those exposed to 0 microM versus 50 microM of Vit-E: 28% versus 40% rate of development to the blastocyst stage; 28.9 cells versus 35.9 cells in the expanded blastocyst; 122 pixels versus 95 pixels per embryo (H2O2 content); and 215 microm versus 97 microm length of the DNA tail. Therefore, a low O2 concentration during in vitro culture of porcine embryos decreased the H2O2 content and, as a consequence, reduced DNA fragmentation, and, thereby, improved developmental ability. 相似文献

In vitro maturation and fertilization of bovine oocytes and in vitro culture of presumptive zygotes in the presence of bovine pestivirus 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
A pathogen which has been shown to commonly contaminate in vitro bovine embryo production system is bovine pestivirus (bovine viral diarrhea virus). Three experiments were designed to evaluate the in vitro maturation (experiment I), fertilization (experiment II) and embryo development (experiment III) of immature oocytes, inseminated oocytes and presumptive zygotes in the presence of a bovine pestivirus (non-cytopathic, nCP type 1). The virus inoculum used was derived from a persistently infected cow. In experiment I, follicular oocytes (n=1257) recovered from slaughterhouse derived ovaries were randomly assigned to either a control group (n=578) which did not become exposed to bovine pestivirus and a treatment group (n=679) which was inoculated with bovine pestivirus (2.20-3.69 log(10) TCID(50)/50 microl) at the time of commencement of in vitro maturation. Overall, there was no significant difference between the control and pestivirus inoculated oocytes in either the cumulus cell expansion rate (79+/-7.5% versus 74+/-10.7%) or the nuclear maturation rate (89+/-4.8% versus 85+/-7.4%), respectively. In experiment II, in vitro matured oocytes (n=607) were inseminated either in the absence (control; n=301) or the presence of bovine pestivirus (4-4.6 log(10) TCID(50)/50 microl; n=306). A significant (P<0.01) reduction in the overall number of fertilized oocytes with two well formed male and female pronuclei was observed in the treatment group compared to the control group (58.5+/-5.8% versus 73.3+/-3.6%, respectively). In experiment III, after in vitro maturation and fertilization, presumptive zygotes were randomly assigned to either a control group (n=139) which was not exposed to bovine pestivirus or a treatment group which was inoculated with bovine pestivirus (2.97-4.47 log(10) TCID(50)/30 microl; n=139). The zygotes were then cultured under mineral oil in an atmosphere of 88% N(2), 7% O(2) and 5% CO(2) at 39 degrees C. The morphologic appearance of the embryos was assessed 48 h after the commencement of culture, and then every 48 h up to days 7-8 after insemination. The 22% (31/139) and 3.6% (5/139) of the presumptive zygotes developed to the morula or blastocyst stage in the control and the bovine pestivirus inoculated groups, respectively (P<0.001). This study demonstrates that bovine pestivirus has a significant detrimental effect on in vitro fertilization and early in vitro embryo development. 相似文献

Apomixis in <Emphasis Type="Italic">Eulaliopsis binata</Emphasis>: characterization of reproductive mode and endosperm development 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Apomixis represents an alteration of classical sexual plant reproduction to produce seeds with essentially clonal embryos,
stimulating wide interest from biologists and plant breeders for its ability to fix heterosis. Eulaliopsis binata (Poaceae), is identified here as a new apomictic species. Embryological investigation indicates that the developmental pattern
of embryo sac formation in E. binata represents gametophytic apospory, the embryo originating from an unreduced cell, without fertilization and the mode of endosperm
development was autonomous. Sexual embryo sacs were found with a frequency of 1–4% depending on the biotype. The DNA content
of nuclei (C-value) in mature seeds was screened by flow cytometry (FCSS) and demonstrated that the endosperm was derived
autonomously without fertilization and the three biotypes of E. binata showed varying degrees of apomixis. The Wide-leaf type showed obligate apomixis whereas the Slender-leaf and the Red-haulm
type displayed facultative apomixis. In addition, adventitious embryos were observed on the wall of ovary, integument and
nucellus cells, indicating that E. binata produces embryos via a mixture of apospory and adventitious embryony. 相似文献

Although successful embryo development is dependent upon genetic and epigenetic contributions from both the male and female, the male potential to adversely affect embryo development has been scarcely studied. It is unclear whether the sperm variation among different males would affect the outcome of oocyte evaluation by embryo development following fertilization. In the present study, variation in the developmental potential of mouse embryos was first compared between in vitro fertilization with epididymal spermatozoa from different males and Sr(2+) parthenogenetic activation using oocytes of different qualities, and then the effect of male on fertilization and embryo development was examined using randomly chosen oocytes and spermatozoa from cauda epididymidis, vas deferens or electro-ejaculates. Rates of fertilization and blastocyst formation were significantly higher with spermatozoa from cauda epididymidis or vas deferens than with ejaculated spermatozoa. Rates of embryonic development differed significantly between different males, but not between different ejaculates of the same male. Analysis of standard errors of means and coefficients of variance indicated that as long as multiple males were involved, the variation in oocyte fertilization/activation and blastocyst formation was always higher after fertilization than after Sr(2+) parthenogenetic activation whether spermatozoa were collected from epididymidis, vas deferens or ejaculates and regardless of oocyte qualities. It is concluded that (1) epididymal mouse spermatozoa fertilize more oocytes than ejaculated spermatozoa under identical experimental conditions; (2) like farm animals, the mice also show a remarkable male effect on the developmental potential of in vitro produced embryos although they are supposed to be less genetically diverse; (3) parthenogenetic activation is recommended for assessment of oocyte quality to exclude the effect of male. 相似文献

The structure of embryo sac, fertilization and development of embryo and endosperm in Vigina sesquipedalis (L.) Fruwirth were investigated. Pollization occures 7–10h before anthesis, and fertilization is completed 10 h after anthesis. After fertilization, wall ingrowths are formed at the micropylar and chalazal ends of the embryo sac. Embryo development conforms to the Onagrad type, and passes through 2 or more celled proembryo, long stick-shaped, globular, heart shaped, torpedo, young embryo, growing and enlarging embryo and mature embryo. Wall ingrowths are formed on the walls of basal cells and outer walls of the cells at basal region of suspenser. The suspensor remains as the seed reaches maturity. The starch grains accumulate in the cells of cotyledons by 9–16 days after anthesis, and proteins accumulate by 12–18 days after. The endosperm development follows the nuclear type. The endosperm ceils form at the micropylar end, and remain free nuclear phase at chalazal end. The outer cells are transfer cells. Those cells at the micropylar end form folded cells with wall ingrowths. At heartembryo stage, the endosperm begins to degenerate and disintegrates before the embryo matures. 相似文献
