Cytoplasmic male sterility: a window to the world of plant mitochondrial-nuclear interactions 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
Chase CD 《Trends in genetics : TIG》2007,23(2):81-90
Mitochondrial function depends on the coordinate action of nuclear and mitochondrial genomes. The genetic dissection of these interactions presents special challenges in obligate aerobes, because the viability of these organisms depends on mitochondrial respiration. The plant trait cytoplasmic male sterility (CMS) is determined by the mitochondrial genome and is associated with a pollen sterility phenotype that can be suppressed or counteracted by nuclear genes known as restorer-of-fertility genes. Here, I review the nature and the origin of the genes that determine CMS, together with recent investigations that have exploited CMS to provide new insights into plant mitochondrial-nuclear communication. These studies have implicated mitochondrial signaling pathways, including those involved in regulating cell death and nuclear gene expression, in the elaboration of CMS. The molecular cloning of nuclear genes that restore fertility (i.e. restorer-of-fertility genes) has identified genes encoding pentatricopeptide-repeat proteins as key regulators of plant mitochondrial gene expression. 相似文献

Plant mitochondrial genomes are much larger and more complex than those of other eukaryotic organisms. They contain a very
active recombination system and have a multipartite genome organization with a master circle resolving into two or more subgenomic
circles by recombination through repeated sequences. Their protein coding capacity is very low and is comparable to that of
animal and fungal systems. Several subunits of mitochondrial functional complexes, a complete set of tRNAs and 26S, 18S and
5S rRNAs are coded by the plant mitochondrial genome. The protein coding genes contain group II introns. The organelle genome
contains stretches of DNA sequences homologous to chloroplast DNA. It also contains actively transcribed DNA sequences having
open reading frames. Plasmid like DNA molecules are found in mitochondria of some plants
Cytoplasmic male sterility in plants, characterized by failure to produce functional pollen grains, is a maternally inherited
trait. This phenomenon has been found in many species of plants and is conveniently used for hybrid plant production. The
genetic determinants for cytoplasmic male sterility reside in the mitochondrial genome. Some species of plants exhibit more
than one type of cytoplasmic male sterility. Several nuclear genes are known to control expression of cytoplasmic male sterility.
Different cytoplasmic male sterility types are distinguished by their specific nuclear genes(rfs) which restore pollen fertility. Cytoplasmic male sterility types are also characterized by mitochondrial DNA restriction
fragment length polymorphism patterns, variations in mitochondrial RNAs, differences in protein synthetic profiles, differences
in sensitivity to fungal toxins and insecticides, presence of plasmid DNAs or RNAs and also presence of certain unique sequences
in the genome. Recently nuclear male sterility systems based on (i) over expression of agrobacterialrol C gene and (ii) anther specific expression of an RNase gene have been developed in tobacco andBrassica by genetic engineering methods. 相似文献

The review deals with cytoplasmic male sterility (CMS) in higher plants: impairment of the pollen formation resulting from interaction of the nuclear and mitochondrial genomes. The information on the known nuclear restorer-of-fertility genes and their effects on the expression of CMS-associated mitochondrial loci are considered. Heteroplasmy of mtDNA in plants and its potential association with CMS inheritance, as well as possible mechanisms of the observed direct and reverse association between altered expression of the CMS-inducing mitochondrial genome, metabolic defects, and pollen sterility are discussed. 相似文献

Cytoplasmic male sterility (CMS) is an important agricultural trait characterized by lack of functional pollen, and caused by ectopic and defective mitochondrial gene expression. The pollen function in CMS plants is restored by the presence of nuclear‐encoded restorer of fertility (Rf) genes. Previously, we cloned Rf2, which restores the fertility of Lead Rice (LD)‐type CMS rice. However, neither the function of Rf2 nor the identity of the mitochondrial gene causing CMS has been determined in LD–CMS rice. Here, we show that the mitochondrial gene orf79 acts as a CMS‐associated gene in LD–CMS rice, similar to its role in BT–CMS rice originating from Chinsurah Boro II, and Rf2 weakly restores fertility in BT–CMS rice. We also show that RF2 promotes degradation of atp6–orf79 RNA in a different manner from that of RF1, which is the Rf gene product in BT–CMS rice. The amount of ORF79 protein in LD–CMS rice was one‐twentieth of the amount in BT–CMS rice. The difference in ORF79 protein levels probably accounts for the mild and severe pollen defects in LD–CMS and BT–CMS rice, respectively. In the presence of Rf2, accumulation of ORF79 was reduced to almost zero and 25% in LD–CMS and BT–CMS rice, respectively, which probably accounts for the complete and weak fertility restoration abilities of Rf2 in LD–CMS and BT–CMS rice, respectively. These observations indicate that the amount of ORF79 influences the pollen fertility in two strains of rice in which CMS is induced by orf79. 相似文献

Background and Aims
Expression of the mitochondrial gene orf138 causes Ogura cytoplasmic male sterility (CMS) in Raphanus sativus, but little is known about the mechanism by which CMS takes place. A preliminary microarray experiment revealed that several nuclear genes concerned with flavonoid biosynthesis were inhibited in the male-sterile phenotype. In particular, a gene for one of the key enzymes for flavonoid biosynthesis, chalcone synthase (CHS), was strongly inhibited. A few reports have suggested that the inhibition of CHS causes nuclear-dependent male sterile expression; however, there do not appear to be any reports elucidating the effect of CHS on CMS expression. In this study, the expression patterns of the early genes in the flavonoid biosynthesis pathway, including CHS, were investigated in normal and male-sterile lines.Methods
In order to determine the aberrant stage for CMS expression, the characteristics of male-sterile anthers are observed using light and transmission electron microscopy for several stages of flower buds. The expression of CHS and the other flavonoid biosynthetic genes in the anthers were compared between normal and male-sterile types using real time RT-PCR.Key Results
Among the flavonoid biosynthetic genes analysed, the expression of CHS was strongly inhibited in the later stages of anther development in sterility cytoplasm; accumulation of putative naringenin derivatives was also inhibited.Conclusions
These results show that flavonoids play an important role in the development of functional pollen, not only in nuclear-dependent male sterility, but also in CMS.Key words: Chalcone Synthase, flavonoids, Ogura cytoplasmic male sterility, CMS, pollen, Raphanus sativus 相似文献9.

The high mutational load of mitochondrial genomes combined with their uniparental inheritance and high polyploidy favors the maintenance of deleterious mutations within populations. How cells compose and adapt to the accumulation of disadvantageous mitochondrial alleles remains unclear. Most harmful changes are likely corrected by purifying selection, however, the intimate collaboration between mitochondria- and nuclear-encoded gene products offers theoretical potential for compensatory adaptive changes. In plants, cytoplasmic male sterilities are known examples of nucleo-mitochondrial coadaptation situations in which nuclear-encoded restorer of fertility (Rf) genes evolve to counteract the effect of mitochondria-encoded cytoplasmic male sterility (CMS) genes and restore fertility. Most cloned Rfs belong to a small monophyletic group, comprising 26 pentatricopeptide repeat genes in Arabidopsis, called Rf-like (RFL). In this analysis, we explored the functional diversity of RFL genes in Arabidopsis and found that the RFL8 gene is not related to CMS suppression but essential for plant embryo development. In vitro-rescued rfl8 plantlets are deficient in the production of the mitochondrial heme–lyase complex. A complete ensemble of molecular and genetic analyses allowed us to demonstrate that the RFL8 gene has been selected to permit the translation of the mitochondrial ccmFN2 gene encoding a heme–lyase complex subunit which derives from the split of the ccmFN gene, specifically in Brassicaceae plants. This study represents thus a clear case of nuclear compensation to a lineage-specific mitochondrial genomic rearrangement in plants and demonstrates that RFL genes can be selected in response to other mitochondrial deviancies than CMS suppression. 相似文献

Pollen formation is a complex process that is strictly controlled by genetic factors. Although many novel mitochondrial genes have been implicated in the dysfunction of mitochondrial enzymes and the cytoplasmic male sterility (CMS), there is little empirical evidence to show that CMS-related genes actually result in the dysfunction of enzyme and little is known about the regulatory mechanisms of the aberrant mitochondrial enzymes in male sterility in CMS lines. Here, we report the characterization of a novel mitochondrial gene, Ψatp6-2, which is hypothesized to play a role in male sterility in pepper. Using virus-induced gene silencing (VIGS), we observed that silencing the atp6-2 gene in the maintainer line resulted in an increase in ATP hydrolysis activity of the mitochondrial F1Fo-ATP synthase along with pollen abortion, while silencing the truncated Ψatp6-2 gene in the CMS line resulted in an inhibition of ATP hydrolysis activity and restoration of fertility. Altered ATP hydrolysis also affected the tolerance of the gene-silenced plants to abiotic stresses. Localization experiments showed that premature ATP hydrolysis occurred at the tetrad stage of pollen development in the CMS line, but no ATPase activity was observed in the microspores at the later stage. These results suggest that the Ψatp6-2 gene causes the alteration in ATP hydrolysis activity of the mitochondrial F1Fo-ATP synthase during pollen development, which eventually leads to male sterility in pepper. 相似文献

Cytoplasmic male sterility arises when mitochondrial activities are disrupted that are essential for pollen development. Rearrangements in the mitochondrial genome that create novel open reading frames are strongly correlated with CMS phenotypes in a number of systems. The morphological aberrations which indicate CMS-associated degeneration are frequently restricted to the male sporogenous tissue and a limited number of vegetative tissues. In several cases, this tissue specificity may result from interactions between the mitochondrial genome and nuclear genes that regulate mitochondrial gene expression. A molecular mechanism by which CMS might be caused has not been conclusively demonstrated for any system. Several hypotheses for general mechanisms by which mitochondrial dysfunction might disrupt pollen development are discussed, based on similarities between the novel CMS-associated genes from a number of systems. 相似文献

Background
The novel chimeric open reading frame (orf) resulting from the rearrangement of a mitochondrial genome is generally thought to be a causal factor in the occurrence of cytoplasmic male sterility (CMS). Both positive and negative correlations have been found between CMS-associated orfs and the occurrence of CMS when CMS-associated orfs were expressed and targeted at mitochondria. Some orfs cause male sterility or semi-sterility, while some do not. Little is currently known about how mitochondrial factor regulates the expression of the nuclear genes involved in male sterility. The purpose of this study was to investigate the biological function of a candidate CMS-associated orf220 gene, newly isolated from cytoplasmic male-sterile stem mustard, and show how mitochondrial retrograde regulated nuclear gene expression is related to male sterility. 相似文献15.

Although the characterization of genes associated with cytoplasmic male sterility (CMS) and fertility restoration (Rf) has been well documented, the evolutionary relationship between nuclear Rf and CMS factors in mitochondria in Oryza species is still less understood. Here, 41 accessions from 7 Oryza species with AA genome were employed for analyzing the evolutionary relationships between the CMS factors and Rf candidates on chromosome 10. The phylogenetic tree based on restriction fragment length polymorphism patterns of CMS-associated
mitochondrial genes showed that these 41 Oryza accessions fell into 3 distinct groups. Another phylogenetic tree based on PCR profiles of the nuclear Rf candidates on chromosome 10 was also established, and three groups were distinctively grouped. The accessions in each subgroup/group
of the two phylogenetic trees are well parallel to each other. Furthermore, the 41 investigated accessions were test-crossed
with Honglian (gametophytic type) and Wild-abortive (sporophytic type) CMS, and 5 groups were classified according to their
restoring ability. The accessions in the same subgroup of the two phylogenetic trees shared similar fertility restoring pattern.
Therefore, we conclude that the CMS-associated mitotypes are compatible to the Rf candidate-related nucleotypes, CMS and Rf have a parallel evolutionary relation in the Oryza species. 相似文献
