水稻msp1-4突变体的鉴定及其UDT1和GAMYB基因的表达分析

通过对粳稻‘9522’辐射诱变,得到一隐性雄性不育突变体msp1-4（MULTIPLE SPOROCYTE）,用遗传定位方法将该基因座位定位在分子标记WY-4和WY-8之间,相距0．8cM,物理距离247kb。测序分析证明这247kb区间中的MSP1基因的编码区在第758bp到767bp之间发生了10个碱基的缺失。形态学观察结果表明该突变体和已经报告过的msp1突变体的表型基本一致。为分析水稻其它与花药发育相关的基因在msp1-4中的表达变化,用半定量RT-PCR技术检测到影响绒毡层和花粉发育的重要基因UDT1和GAMYB的表达在突变体中比在野生型水稻中低,说明这2个基因可能位于MSP1基因的下游。

从水稻T-DNA插入突变体库中鉴定出一个矮杆小粒突变体t129,该突变体与野生型植株相比,植株明显矮化,籽粒粒长明显缩短,千粒重下降。遗传分析表明,t129的突变性状由一对隐性核基因控制,该基因(T129)经图位克隆定位于水稻第5染色体长臂上,引物InDel43和InDel57之间,物理距离为430 kb,并与标记InDel51共分离。本研究明确了该矮杆小粒突变体的表型特征及遗传规律,为进一步研究调控水稻株高和粒型基因奠定基础。     

水稻窄叶突变体zy17的遗传分析和候选基因鉴定

器官大小调控是一个基本的发育生物学过程,受细胞分裂和细胞扩展的影响。然而,植物器官大小调控的遗传和分子机理仍不清楚。为了进一步了解器官大小调控的分子机制,文章分离了一系列水稻叶子宽窄改变的突变体。其中,窄叶突变体zy17叶变窄,同时伴有植株矮化、穗子变小、枝梗数和穗粒数降低的表型。遗传分析表明该窄叶性状受1个隐性基因控制;细胞学分析表明该突变体叶子的细胞数目和维管束数目显著降低,表明ZY17影响了细胞分裂。基因组重测序进一步筛选出ZY17的3个候选基因：Os02g22390基因突变发生在内含子区,编码蛋白为逆转座蛋白;Os02g28280和Os02g29530基因突变都发生在外显子区,其中Os02g28280编码一个功能未知蛋白,该基因突变后,发生碱基置换,产生非同义突变;Os02g29530编码一个含糖基转移酶相关的PFAM结构域的蛋白,该基因突变后,出现两个碱基的缺失,从而导致其蛋白翻译提前终止。对候选基因的深入研究,将揭示水稻叶子大小调控的机制。

通过γ射线诱变,从粳稻品种9522的M2代中筛选出一株具有叶状颖壳的突变体,定名Oslh(1h=leafy hull).Oslh突变体的开花时间要比野生型晚15 d左右,内外稃和浆片发育成了叶片状器官.Oslh突变体与粳稻品种9522回交结果表明Oslh突变性状可能由单核基因隐性突变造成.以Oslh突变体与籼稻品种广陆矮4号杂交的F2代群体为基因定位群体,利用SSR和InDel分子标记将Oslh突变位点定位在3号染色体上的SSR标记RM5475和InDel标记GY305之间,遗传距离分别为2.5 cM和1.9 cM.这些结果为克隆OsLH基因和研究花器官发育的调控机理奠定了基础.     

水稻矮脆突变体dwf1的特性与基因定位

矮脆突变体dwf1(dwarf and fragile 1)来源于EMS诱变处理的籼型恢复系缙恢10号,主要表现为根、茎、叶、叶鞘、子粒等器官特别脆,同时植株变矮、叶片披垂。株高、穗长、结实率、节间长以及千粒重有不同程度降低,细胞壁中纤维素和木质素含量下降、半纤维素含量增加,机械强度下降。茎秆表面锯齿状突起尖锐,薄壁细胞较野生型小、细胞大小不一致、排列紊乱,细胞形状不规则、长度稍有变短。该突变性状受一对隐性核基因控制,位于第9染色体上标记Ind6与Ind4之间,dwf1相对于野生型在LOC_Os09g25490第7外显子上有一个碱基的错义突变,导致氨基酸由半胱氨酸突变为精氨酸,该突变发生在基因的高度保守区域内。dwf1对深入研究水稻变矮变脆机制具有重要意义。     

氮磷饥饿诱导的水稻糖转运体基因的cDNA克隆和鉴定

运用快速扣除杂交 (RaSH)方法构建了水稻氮饥饿诱导的cDNA文库。从该文库获得了一个cDNA克隆OsNSI1 (Oryzasativanitrogenstarva tion inducible 1 )。该全长cDNA编码 5 77个氨基酸 ,蛋白分子量为 6 1 .2kD。推测得出的氨基酸序列与其他物种的糖转运体有很高的同源性。水合性分析表明OsNSI1包含有 1 2个跨膜区域和一个中心亲水环。这些数据提示OsNSI1是一个糖转运体蛋白。Southern印迹分析表明OsNSI1是一个单拷贝基因。Northern印迹分析表明OsNSI1主要在叶及根中表达 ,氮、磷饥饿能强烈诱导其表达增强     

水稻OsRab5a基因功能的初步分析

水稻OsRab5a基因在根、茎、叶、根茎结合部和颖片及愈伤组织中均有表达;OsRab5a蛋白主要参与细胞内吞过程的早期膜泡运输,GFP—OsRab5a主要存在于细胞膜上和早期内吞小体中,而GFP—OsRab5aCA则大多存在于细胞膜上。OsRab5a RNA干涉载体转化水稻愈伤组织后,导致愈伤组织在分化过程中死亡,OsRab5a基因的表达略受细胞分裂素的诱导,在分化过程中表达增强,从而推测OsRab5a可能参与激素的信号转导而在愈伤分化过程中发挥重要作用。     

一个水稻畸形颖壳突变体ah的鉴定及其突变性状的遗传分析

水稻畸形颖壳突变体ah是双胚苗品系W2555中自然突变产生的。该突变体的内外稃畸形,退化;雄蕊雌蕊化,雌蕊败育;浆片同源转化为类内外稃的结构,推测该突变体可能影响B功能基因的正常发育。与野生型相比,突变体的小穗分支稀疏,每级枝梗上颖花数目减少,一般为4～6朵;小穗顶端的颖花经常不能成熟,表现为颖花始终泛白,不能转绿,因此该突变也影响花序分生组织的发育。进一步的研究证明,该突变体的发育受外界环境的影响。突变性状的遗传分析表明,该突变体由单隐性基因控制。     

利用Inverse PCR快速筛选单个T-DNA拷贝转基因水稻植株的方法

为了获得单个T-DNA插入拷贝的植株, 我们建立了一套利用Inverse PCR(IPCR)快速检测转基因水稻中T-DNA拷贝数的方法。用IPCR的方法可以扩增出与已知T-DNA序列相邻的水稻基因组DNA未知序列,由此推测转基因水稻植株中T-DNA的拷贝数。我们共对15个转化株系20棵不同植株的DNA进行了IPCR检测。其中12株表现为T-DNA单拷贝插入,3株为双拷贝插入,1株为三拷贝插入。另外4株未检测到T-DNA插入拷贝。IPCR分析结果经过Southern杂交和测序的验证。     

水稻单C2H2型锌指基因ZOS2-01的表达与功能分析

拟南芥超雄基因(SUPERMAN,SUP)是一个单C2H2锌指基因.该基因突变后会造成雌蕊同源转化为雄蕊,正常的心皮发育受阻,因此SUP在控制花第3/4轮边界的建立和胚珠的发育中起重要作用.为了探知水稻中的SUP同源基因是否也存在类似的功能,我们根据拟南芥SUP的功能结构域,从水稻中克隆了一个与SUP类似基因,命名为ZOS2-01,并对其表达和功能进行了分析.结果表明,ZOS2-01与拟南芥的SUP和矮牵牛的PhSUP1在系统进化树上处于同一分支且与SUP的功能结构域完全相同.定量PCR和GUS表达分析表明,除胚乳外,ZOS2-01几乎在所有组织和器官中表达,但在幼穗中的表达量最高,暗示它可能参与了水稻的营养生长和花器官发育的调节.然而,采用RNA干扰和过量表达的方法减少和增加ZOS2-01的表达并没有明显影响水稻的生长发育,转基因水稻的营养生长正常,花器官发育也没有明显异常且结实正常.这些结果表明,尽管水稻ZOS2-01与拟南芥SUP具有相同的功能结构域,但它们的表达和功能可能已出现了分化,或者水稻中存在多个功能冗余的SUP类似基因.     

水稻“三明”显性核不育基因的定位

"三明显性核不育水稻"突变体是由福建省三明市农业科学研究所于2001年在杂交组合"SE21S/Basmati370"的F2代群体中发现的。其不育性受1个显性基因控制(将该基因命名为SMS)。经过多代回交,该显性不育基因已导入籼稻品种佳福占的遗传背景中(将该不育材料称为佳不育)。为了定位SMS,文章将佳不育与粳稻品种日本晴杂交,并将F1与佳福占测交,构建了一个作图群体。利用SSR和INDEL标记,通过混合分离分析和连锁分析,将SMS定位于第8号染色体上两个INDEL标记ZM30和ZM9之间,约99 kb的区间内。该结果为克隆SMS奠定了基础。     

Characterization and mapping of a new male sterility mutant of anther advanced dehiscence （t） in rice

Anther dehiscence is very important for pollen maturation and release.The mutants of anther dehiscence in rice (Oryza sativa L.) arefew,and related research remains poor.A male sterility mutant of anther dehiscence in advance,add(t),has been found in Minghui 63 and its sterility is not sensitive to thermo-photo.To learn the character of sterilization and the function of the add(t) gene,the morphological and cytological studies on the anther and pollen,the ability of the pistil being fertilized,inheritance of the mutant,and mapping of add(t)gene have been conducted.The anther size is normal but the color is white in the mutant against the natural yellow in the wild-type.The pollen is malformed,unstained,and small in the KI-I2 solution.The anther dehiscence is in advance at the bicellular pollen stage.A crossing test indicated that the grain setting ratio of the add(t) is significantly lower than that of the CMS line 2085A.The ability of the pistil being fertilized is most probably decreased by the add(t) gene.The male sterility is controlled by a single recessive gene of add(t).This gene is mapped between the markers of R02004 (InDel) and RM300 (SSR) on chromosome 2,and the genetic distance from the add(t) gene to these markers is 0.78 cM and 4.66 cM,respectively.     

Molecular basis of cytoplasmic male sterility and fertility restoration in rice

Cytoplasmic male sterility (CMS) is a maternally inherited trait that causes dysfunctions in pollen and anther development. CMS is caused by the interaction between nuclear and mitochondrial genomes. A product of a CMS-causing gene encoded by the mitochondrial genome affects mitochondrial function and the regulation of nuclear genes, leading to male sterility. In contrast, the RESTORER OF FERTILITY gene (Rf gene) in the nuclear genome suppresses the expression of the CMS-causing gene and restores male fertility. An alloplasmic CMS line is often bred as a result of nuclear substitution, which causes the removal of functional Rf genes and allows the expression of a CMS-causing gene in mitochondria. The CMS/Rf system is an excellent model for understanding the genetic interactions and cooperative functions of mitochondrial and nuclear genomes in plants, and is also an agronomically important trait for hybrid seed production. In this review article, pollen and anther phenotypes of CMS, CMS-associated mitochondrial genes, Rf genes, and the mechanism that causes pollen abortion and its agronomical application for rice are described.     

水稻两种细胞质雄性不育“三系”及其F1杂交种线粒体DNA的RFLP分析

Characterization and mapping of a novel mutant sms1 (senescence and male sterility 1) in rice

Plant senescence plays diverse important roles in development and environmental responses.However,the molecular basis of plant senescence is remained largely unknown.A rice spontaneous mutant with the character of early senescence and male sterility (sms) was found in the breeding line NT10-748.In order to identify the gene SMS1 and the underlying mechanism,we preliminarily analyzed physiological and biochemical phenotypes of the mutant.The mutant contained lower chlorophyll content compared with the wild t...     

Transfer of wild abortive cytoplasmic male sterility through protoplast fusion in rice

Wild abortive cytoplasmic male sterility has been extensively used in hybrid seed production in the tropics. Using protoplast fusion between cytoplasmic male sterile and fertile maintainer lines; we report here, transfer of wild abortive cytoplasmic male sterility to the nuclear background of RCPL1-2C, an advance breeding line which also served as maintainer of this cytoplasm. In total, 27 putative cybrids between V20A and RCPL1-2C and 23 lines between V20A and V20B were recovered and all of them were sterile. DNA blots prepared from the mitochondrial DNA of the cybrid lines from both the sets were probed with orf155 that is known to exhibit polymorphism between the mitochondrial DNA of the male-sterile and fertile maintainer lines. Hybridization of orf155 to 1.3 kb HindIII-digested mitochondrial DNA fragment of the cybrids showed transfer of mitochondrial DNA from wild abortive cytoplasmic male-sterile line to the maintainers, viz. RCPL 1-2C and V20B. Expression of male sterility was confirmed by the presence of sterile pollen grains and the lack of seed setting due to selfing in all the cybrid lines. These cybrids, on crossing with respective fertile maintainers set seeds that in turn, produced sterile BC1 plants. DNA blots from HindIII-digested mitochondrial DNA of these BC1 plants when probed with orf155 again exhibited localization of orf155 in wild abortive cytoplasm-specific 1.3 kb HindIII-digested mitochondrial DNA fragments. This demonstrated that the cytoplasmic male sterility transferred through protoplast fusion retained intact female fertility and was inherited and expressed in BC1 plants. Fusion-derived CMS lines, on pollination with pollen grains from restorer, showed restoration of fertility in all the lines. The results demonstrate that protoplasts fusion can be used for transferring maternally inherited traits like cytoplasmic male sterility to the desired nuclear background which can, in turn, be used in hybrid seed production programme of rice in the tropical world.     

大豆细胞核雄性不育基因研究进展

雄性不育是指植物雄蕊不能正常生长和产生有活力花粉粒的现象。利用雄性不育突变体开展杂交育种工作,是快速提高作物单产的有效途径。目前,通过杂种制种已大幅度提高了水稻(Oryza sativa L.)、玉米(Zea mays L.)和小麦(Triticum aestivum L.)等作物的产量。大豆(Glycinemax(L.)Merr.)作为自花授粉作物,通过人工去雄生产杂交种子不仅困难而且经济上不可行。由于适用于杂交种生产的不育系资源短缺,目前大豆还没有实现大规模杂种优势利用。因此,快速实现大豆杂种优势利用迫切需要鉴定稳定的大豆雄性不育系统。本文总结了大豆细胞核雄性不育(genic male sterility, GMS)突变体及不育基因研究进展,同时结合拟南芥(Arabidopsis thaliana)、水稻和玉米中已报道的细胞核雄性不育基因,从反向遗传学的角度,为大豆核雄性不育基因的鉴定提供依据。     

The relationship between a nuclear restorer gene and the nuclear gene for male sterility in Petunia

Summary This paper describes the relationship between the restorer gene and the gene for male sterility in the background of normal cytoplasm. We combined these two traits by crosses in one plant, thus making genetic analysis possible. Two main conclusions can be drawn: 1. The restorer gene and the gene for male sterility are located at different loci which segregate independently one from the other. 2. The Rf allele does not affect the expression of the e allele.Contribution from the Department of Plant Genetics and Breeding, Agricultural Research Organization, The Volcani Center, Bet Dagan, Israel. 1983 series, No. 779 E     

Mitochondrial DNA modifications associated with cytoplasmic male sterility in rice

Summary Mitochondrial DNA was isolated from fertile and cytoplasmic male sterile lines of rice. Restriction analysis showed specific modifications in the male sterile cytoplasm. In addition to the major mitochondrial DNA, three small plasmid-like DNA molecules were detected by agarose gel electrophoresis in both cytoplasms. An additional molecule was specifically found in the sterile cytoplasm. These mitochondrial DNA modifications support the hypothesis of the mitochondrial inheritance of the cytoplasmic male sterility in rice.     

A rapid PCR-aided selection of a rice line containing the Rf-1 gene which is involved in restoration of the cytoplasmic male sterility

Cytoplasmic male sterility (CMS) is widely known in higher plants, the mechanism of which is believed to involve incompatibility between nuclei and cytoplasms. In rice lines with the CMS trait, fertility is restored by the aid of a nuclear-encoded gene, Rf-1, whose locus has been determined in chromosome 10. We found a particular PCR-amplified fragment, designated fL601, that specifically amplified using the DNAs from Rf-1 lines tested as templates. RFLP mapping of the fL601 locus revealed that there are two loci for the fL601, and that both are tightly linked to the Rf-1 locus. Progeny analysis also showed high frequency of their co-segregation. Southern analysis of the genomic DNA demonstrated that the Rf-1 lines shared a unique sequence in the fL601 region. These results enabled us to construct a system for specific detection of the corresponding regions. Utilizing this detection system, we established a simple PCR-mediated selection method for the Rf-1 lines, which may facilitate the breeding for hybrid rice.
