芥菜型油菜和白菜型油菜种间杂种遗传分析

种间杂交是一种拓宽栽培作物遗传基础和转移优良性状的重要手段,已经广泛地用于作物品质的改良。本研究通过芥菜型油菜（Brassica juncea L.）和白菜型油菜（Brassica rapa L.）种间杂交,将芥菜型油菜的有利性状转移到白菜型油菜中,创造新型白菜型油菜,以改良白菜型油菜的农艺性状、提高抗逆性和拓宽其遗传基础。研究结果表明：以芥菜型油菜作母本、白菜型油菜作父本的杂交组合较易获得杂交种子,杂种F1植株营养生长具有较明显的杂种优势,但花粉完全不育;以白菜型油菜回交获得的BC1植株间表型差异明显,平均花粉可染率为34.8%,介于 0~84%之间,群体自交不亲和;BC1F1和BC2群体变异广泛,出现自交亲和植株和黄籽植株,平均花粉可染率分别为79.7%和79.1%。     

含有抗白粉病基因的黑麦染色体小片段向小麦的转移

利用感白粉病的小麦品种绵阳11的纯系和黑麦自交系R12杂交, 在其单体附加系自交后代的BC₁F₅株系中选择小麦－黑麦异源易位系。根据已报道的黑麦特异重复序列pSc20H设计了一对特异引物, 用PCR方法鉴定了300个单体附加系的自交BC₁F₅株系,发现其中70个株系含有黑麦染色体成分。一个来源于6R单体附加系的小麦株系96Ⅱ691-830-98表现了对白粉病的高度抗性, PCR方法鉴定证明其含有黑麦染色体成分。对该株系作进一步的基因组原位杂交(GISH)鉴定, 证明它的一对染色体的端部含有黑麦染色体的小片段。这一结果指出, 含有抗白粉病基因的黑麦染色体6R小片段被引入了小麦。研究表明利用单体附加诱导染色体小片段易位是一种有效的方法。利用PCR和GISH原位杂交相结合的方法可提高检测外源染色体小片段的准确性和选择效率。

家蚕羧酸酯酶基因克隆及差异表达

家蚕浓核病毒 (Bombyx mori densonucleosis virus,BmDNV)是蚕业生产上危害比较严重的一类病毒。用完全抗浓核病中国镇江株(BmDNV-Z)的家蚕品系秋丰、感性品系华八及以华八为轮回亲本回交8代和自交8代构建的近等基因系BC₈为材料,采用mRNA荧光差显技术首次分离克隆了家蚕羧酸酯酶（B. mori carboxylesterase,BmCarE）基因全长cDNA,并用实时荧光定量PCR检测了添毒后12 h、36 h、72 h BmCarE在感、抗BmDNV-Z家蚕品系中肠内的表达差异。结果表明： （1）添毒后12 h不同品系家蚕中肠BmCarE表达差异最大,抗性品系BC₈和秋丰分别是感性品系华八的17.714倍和3.602倍,三者彼此间的差异达到极显著水平;（2）同一品系添毒后12 h与添清水后12 h BmCarE表达也有较大差异, BC₈添毒是BC₈添清水的15.08倍, 秋丰添毒是秋丰添清水的3.39倍, 差异达到极显著水平,而华八添毒和添清水的BmCarE表达量均低,二者差异不显著;（3）同一品系添毒后不同时间BmCarE表达也有较大差异, BC₈和秋丰添毒后12 h BmCarE表达量最高,显著高于各自添毒后36 h和72 h表达水平,而添毒后36 h与72 h表达无显著差异;华八添毒后12 h、36 h和72 h,BmCarE表达无显著差异。上述结果提示羧酸酯酶基因可能与家蚕抗浓核病毒有一定关系。     

杂交后代中转基因小麦外源1Ax1基因的遗传

高分子量麦谷蛋白亚基1Ax1基因是决定小麦加工品质的主效基因之一,在小麦胚乳中增加1Ax1基因的表达量可以提高其加工品质,这对于小麦的品质改良具有重要意义。采用外源1Ax1基因超量表达的转基因小麦‘B102-1-2’为父本,常规小麦品种‘鄂麦12’和‘川89-107’为母本进行杂交试验。采用SDS-PAGE技术检测并分析各组合亲本、F₁代、F₂代的HMW-GS组成,从而研究转基因小麦‘B102-1-2’中外源品质基因1Ax1表达的遗传规律。研究结果表明:外源基因有效地整合进入主栽小麦的基因组中,并且正确表达,在F₂代中表现出15:1的分离比,遵循孟德尔遗传模式,这对于杂交育种策略的选择制订具有指导意义。     

甘蓝型油菜和芥菜型油菜种间杂交研究

甘蓝型油菜与芥菜型油菜杂交研究结果表明,杂交结实力与杂交组合方式以及参与杂交的亲本材料有关,以芥菜型油菜作母本的杂交结实力高于以甘蓝型作母本的组合：芥×甘杂交组合的平均结实数／花为 ２．６４ 粒,而甘×芥杂交组合的平均结实数／花为 ０．１０ 粒。芥甘杂种一代形态特征和生育期介于双亲之间,甘芥杂种一代不表现整齐的中间类型,株间差异明显;总体来看,芥甘杂种一代与双亲回交的结实力（０．４０,０．２１）低于甘芥杂种一代与双亲回交的结实力（３．３０,１．７４）,无论是芥甘杂种一代还是甘芥杂种一代,用甘蓝型油菜作父本回交的结实力高于用芥菜型油菜作父本回交的结实力,但也有个别回交组合出现例外,不表现上述规律。 Ｂ Ｃ１ 代种子当年播种出苗率低（１８．５％ ）,群体株间性状差异明显,生育期极不一致。芥甘杂种一代与甘蓝型油菜亲本第二次回交,其平均结实数／花较回交一代提高 １．０８ 粒, Ｂ Ｃ２ 代种子当年播种出苗率仍较低,但较对应的 Ｂ Ｃ１ 代稍有提高,群体中出现趋回交父本性状但雄性育性彻底退化的植株。芥甘杂种一代自由授粉所得 Ｆ２ 群体是一个变异极为丰富的遗传群体。     

陆地棉染色体片段代换系（BC5F3和BC5F3︰4）产量和纤维品质性状表现的初步评价

本研究以海岛棉海1为供体亲本,陆地棉中棉所36为轮回亲本构建了一套棉花染色体片段代换系,通过对BC5F3和BC5F3∶4这两个世代材料表型数据的分析,结果显示,同年份中与轮回亲本比较,群体各性状的极差和遗传变异系数都比较大;1942个BC5F3单株群体中衣分最高达49.57%,超轮回亲本比例为71.78%,纤维断裂比强度最高为36.5cN/tex;658个BC5F3∶4株行群体中纤维上半部平均长度最大值32.25mm,超轮回亲本比例为47.57%,断裂比强度最高达到32.2cN/tex,超轮回亲本比例为40.27%;通过相关性分析,主要产量性状和纤维品质性状在两个世代间呈极显著正相关,衣分与纤维长度及强度在群体内呈极显著负相关。这些结果表明,通过高代回交后连续自交得到的染色体片段代换系群体中存在丰富的遗传变异,含有大量具有丰产、纤维品质优异的单株,两个世代材料具有较好的一致性与稳定性;产量和品质同步改良还存在一定难度。本研究为进一步的近等基因系分析、基因克隆、基因聚合效应分析等储备了大量的研究材料。     

稻米碾磨品质性状遗传主效应及其与环境互作的遗传分析

采用包括遗传主效应和基因型与环境互作效应的种子三倍体遗传模型,分析了不同环境条件下籼稻稻米碾磨品质的遗传特性。结果表明,各碾磨品质性状除了受制于种子基因效应、细胞质效应和母体植株基因效应等遗传主效应外,还会明显受到各遗传效应与环境互作效应的影响。其中精米重和精米率两个性状的表现主要是以遗传主效应为主,而糙米重和糙米率则以基因型ｘ环境互作效应为主。在各遗传体系中,除了精米率性状的种子直接遗传效应与环境的互作效应略大于母体植株遗传效应与环境的互作效应外,其他碾磨品质性状的母体植株基因的表达受环境条件的影响程度要大于种子基因。细胞质ｘ环境互作效应对精米重和糙米率的影响也较为重要。遗传效应预测值结果表明,Ｐ７和Ｐ８两个亲本的遗传主效应表现突出,可以明显改良杂交后代多数碾磨品质性状。Ｐ１和Ｐ２两个亲本的碾磨品质性状预测值在两年中的环境互作效应较为－致,不易受到外界条件的影响。上述亲本在水稻品质育种中可加以利用。

Introgression of heat shock protein (Hsp70 and sHsp) genes into the Malaysian elite chilli variety Kulai (<Emphasis Type="Italic">Capsicum annuum</Emphasis> L.) through the application of marker-assisted backcrossing (MAB)

Backcrossing together with simple sequence repeat marker strategy was adopted to improve popular Malaysian chilli Kulai (Capsicum annuum L.) for heat tolerance. The use of molecular markers in backcross breeding and selection contributes significantly to overcoming the main drawbacks such as increase linkage drag and time consumption, in the ancient manual breeding approach (conventional), and speeds up the genome recovery of the recurrent parent. The strategy was adopted to introgress heat shock protein gene(s) from AVPP0702 (C. annuum L.), which are heat-tolerant, into the genetic profile of Kulai, a popular high-yielding chilli but which is heat sensitive. The parents were grown on seed trays, and parental screening was carried out with 252 simple sequence repeat markers. The selected parents were crossed and backcrossed to generate F₁ hybrids and backcross generations. Sixty-eight markers appeared to be polymorphic and were used to assess the backcross generation; BC₁F₁, BC₂F₁ and BC₃F₁. The average recipient allele of the selected four BC₁F₁ plants was 80.75% which were used to produce the BC₂F₁ generation. BC₁-P₇ was the best BC₁F₁ plant because it had the highest recovery at 83.40% and was positive to Hsp-linked markers (Hsp70-u2 and AGi42). After three successive generations of backcrossing, the average genome recovery of the recurrent parent in the selected plants in BC₃F₁ was 95.37%. Hsp gene expression analysis was carried out on BC₁F₁, BC₂F₁ and BC₃F₁ selected lines. The Hsp genes were found to be up-regulated when exposed to heat treatment. The pattern of Hsp expression in the backcross generations was similar to that of the donor parent. This confirms the successful introgression of a stress-responsive gene (Hsp) into a Kulai chilli pepper variety. Furthermore, the yield performance viz. plant height, number of fruits, fruit length and weight and total yield of the improved plant were similar with the recurrent parent except that the plant height was significantly lower than the Kulai (recurrent) parent.     

Variation in Anther Culture Response and Fertility of Backcrossed Hybrids between Indica and Japonica Rice (Oryza sativa)

This study was conducted to investigate the variations of fertility, callus induction and plant regeneration in backcrossed hybrids between a responsive japonica variety (Mankeumbyeo, recurrent parent) and a recalcitrant indica variety (Ranta Emas, donor parent) to anther culture. The mean spikelet fertility of inter-subspecific F₁ and BC₁F₁ hybrids was 33.5% and 67.2%, and the spikelet fertility of BC₁F₁ among backcrossed hybrids showed the most extensive variation (a low of 4.5% to a high of 90.6%). The mean fertility and distribution range in BC₅F₁ hybrids were almost the same as that of the japonica recurrent parent (94.6%). The mean callus induction of F₁ and BC₁F₁ hybrids was higher than that of donor parent, and the distribution range in BC₁F₁ hybrids varied from a low 0% to a high 18.7%. The mean callus induction and plant regeneration of BC₄F₁ hybrids was almost that of japonica recurrent parent, and there were no statistical differences between BC₄F₁ and BC₅F₁ hybrids. These results may help to accelerate the introgression of desirable traits from indica into japonica rice using anther culture of backcross hybrids as a breeding strategy.     

Mapping quantitative trait loci controlling early growth in a (longleaf pine × slash pine) × slash pine BC<Subscript>1</Subscript> family

Random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) markers were employed to map the genome and quantitative trait loci controlling the early growth of a pine hybrid F₁ tree (Pinus palustris Mill. 2 P. elliottii Engl.) and a recurrent slash pine tree (P. elliottii Engl.) in a (longleaf pine 2 slash pine) 2 slash pine BC₁ family consisting of 258 progeny. Of the 150 hybrid F₁ parent-specific RAPD markers, 133 were mapped into 17 linkage groups covering a genetic distance of 1,338.2 cM. Of the 116 slash pine parent-specific RAPD markers, 83 were mapped into 19 linkage groups covering a genetic distance of 994.6 cM. A total of 11 different marker intervals were found to be significantly associated with 13 of the 20 traits on height and diameter growth using MAPMAKER/QTL. Nine of the eleven marker intervals were unique to the hybrid parent 488 genome, and two were unique to the recurrent parent 18-27 genome. The amount of phenotypic variance explained by the putative QTLs ranged from 3.6% to 11.0%. Different QTLs were detected at different ages. Two marker intervals from the hybrid parent 488 were found to have QTL by environment interactions.     

Combining bacterial blight resistance and Basmati quality characteristics by phenotypic and molecular marker-assisted selection in rice

Bacterial Blight (BB) caused by Xanthomonas oryzae pv. oryzae is a major disease of rice in tropical Asia. Since all the Basmati varieties are highly susceptible and the disease is prevalent in the entire Basmati growing region of India, BB is a severe constraint in Basmati rice production. The present study was undertaken with the objective of combining the important Basmati quality traits with resistance to BB by a combination of phenotypic and molecular marker-assisted selection (MAS). Screening of 13 near-isogenic lines of rice against four isolates of the pathogen from Basmati growing regions identified the Xa4, xa8, xa13 and Xa21 effective against all the isolates tested. Two or more of these genes in combination imparted enhanced resistance as expressed by reduced average lesion length in comparison to individual genes. The two-gene pyramid line IRBB55 carrying xa13 and Xa21 was found equally effective as three/four gene pyramid lines. The two BB resistance genes present in IRBB55 were combined with the Basmati quality traits of Pusa Basmati-1 (PB-1), the most popular high yielding Basmati rice variety used as recurrent parent. Phenotypic selection for disease resistance, agronomic and Basmati quality characteristics and marker-assisted selection for the two resistance genes were carried out in BC₁F₁, BC₁F₂ and BC₁F₃ generations. Background analysis using 252 polymorphic amplified fragment length polymorphism (AFLP) markers detected 80.4 to 86.7% recurrent parent alleles in BC₁F₃ selections. Recombinants having enhanced resistance to BB, Basmati quality and desirable agronomic traits were identified, which can either be directly developed into commercial varieties or used as immediate donors of BB resistance in Basmati breeding programs.     

The Genetic Control of Time to Germination in Tomato

The time to germination of seeds derived from crosses betweenLycopersicon pimpinellifolium and five varieties of L. esculentumwas analysed in the F₁ and F₂2 generations and in seeds derivedfrom inter-crossing the F₁ hybrids. Inheritance of time to germinationwas largely additive and closely related to seed size. Therewere marked maternal and paternal effects particularly whereL. pimpinellifolium was involved. Variation in time to germinationcould easily be modified by selection but probably at the expenseof seed size and embryo size at emergence. Seed characteristicsare a compromise between the contending advantages of size atemergence, rapidity of germination, and the number of seedsproduced.     

Production of Polyploids and Unreduced Gametes in Lilium auratum × L. henryi Hybrid

Intergenomic F₁ hybrids between L. auratum x L. henryi and their BC₁ progeny were investigated through genomic in situ hybridization technique (GISH) to determine their potential value in lily breeding. We confirmed that F₁ intergenomic hybrids possessed a set of chromosomes (x=12) from both parents and that flowers of the F₁ auratum × henryi hybrid showed an intermediate morphological phenotype. Pollen size, viability and germination ability were measured through microscopic observations. F₁ intergenomic hybrids produced a relevant frequency of 2n-gametes, which were successfully used to perform crosses with Oriental hybrids, resulting in the triploid Oriental Auratum Henryi (OAuH) hybrid. Twenty BC₁ plants were generated by crossing between four different Oriental hybrid cultivars and F₁ AuH hybrids using an in vitro embryo rescue technique, after which the genome constitution and chromosome composition were analyzed by GISH. All plants were triploid, showing 12 from female parents (diploid Oriental hybrid) and 24 from male parents (diploid F₁ AuH hybrid). Overall, 16 out of 20 BC₁ progeny possessed recombinant chromosomes with 1-5 crossover sites per plant. Cytological analysis of 20 BC₁ plants by GISH verified that the occurrence of 2n pollen formation in all F₁ AuH hybrids was derived from the FDR (first division restitution) mechanism, in which the genome composition of all BC₁ plants possess 12 Oriental + 12 L. auratum + 12 L. henryi chromosomes. Allotriploids derived from the AuH hybrid were used as female for crossing with the diploid Oriental hybrid cultivar ''Sorbonne'' and considerable numbers of plants (0-6.5 plants per ovary) were only obtained when female OAuH (BC₁) triploids were used. Taken together, the results of this study indicate that production and analysis of F₁ AuH hybrids and their progeny through sexual polyploidization can be useful for efficient creation of important horticultural traits.
