银鲫种内的遗传标记及其在选种中的应用

用聚丙烯酰胺梯度凝胶电泳分析了银鲫和异育银鲫的血清蛋白和肝脏酯酶,发现这两种鱼的血清蛋白和肝脏酯酶各具有4种不同的表型。由同一母本银鲫繁殖的子代——银鲫或异育银鲫,具有与母本相同的表型,只是在异育银鲫的肝脏酯酶谱型中另有一些无规律的变化,显然这是异源精子的作用所致。此外,这4种不同表型的鱼具有不同的生长能力,其差距最大可达50％．这些结果表明,天然雌核发育的银鲫种内含有若干个不同的雌核发育系,这对于开展银鲫的选育研究具有重要的实践意义。     

雌核发育进行银鲫遗传育种新进展

近年来,人工诱导雌核发育作为一种崭新的技术在鱼类遗传育种研究中正日益引起人们的普遍关注。银鲫作为天然雌核发育的代表,以其独特的生殖方式和重要的经济价值,在理论研究和生产实践中均具有重要意义,本文概要介绍了银鲫的生殖方式,天然群体中优良品系的选育、异源精子对银鲫子代的生物学效应及其在生产实践中的应用－异育银鲫的选育,以及结合染色体倍性操作技术培育四倍体复合鲫的研究近况及发展前景。     

外源精子基因组整入雌核生殖银鲫卵子创制异源八倍体的有效方法

银鲫(Carassius auratus gibelio Bloth)具有将其他鱼类精子的染色体组、染色体片段并入到卵核中协同发育的能力, 但通过异精雌核生殖自发形成异源八倍体子代的概率极低。研究采用0.25%、0.5%、1%、2%和4%胰蛋白酶溶液处理白鲫精子10min后以及1%胰蛋白溶液处理白鲫精子5min、10min、15min、20min和25min后, 分别与异育银鲫A+系成熟卵子受精; 接着通过比较对照组和不同处理组合中精子结构和活力的变化, 兼顾受精率、孵化率、成活率等繁育指标与较高的子代八倍体率, 建立了一种将外源精子基因组整入雌核生殖银鲫卵子创制异源八倍体的有效方法。即采用1%胰蛋白溶液处理白鲫精子15min后与异育银鲫A+系成熟卵子受精, 子代的平均存活率为(2.4±0.7)%, 平均八倍体率可达(16.3±0.5)%。批量处理并结合流式细胞术筛选6月龄子代, 获得57尾融入有白鲫精子染色体组的异源八倍体成鱼。研究为创制异育银鲫优异异源八倍体种质提供了一个简单易行的方法, 创制的异源八倍体可作为后续培育生长快、抗病能力强的银鲫新品种的核心育种材料。     

Cytological Mechanism on the Integration of Heterologous Genome or Chromosomes in the Unique Gynogenetic Carassius auratus gibelio

银鲫（ＣａｒａｓｉｕｓａｕｒａｔｕｓｇｉｂｅｌｉｏＢｌｏｃｈ）是行天然雌核发育生殖的两性型三倍体鱼类,与普通两性融合生殖鱼类相比,具有独特的育种优势。八十年代以来,异育银鲫、复合四倍体异育银鲫的发现表明,雌核发育卵子不但具有保持自身全部染色体的能力,还能整合异源精子的部分遗传物质或整个基因组,影响雌核发育后代的性状。因此,搞清楚异源基因组的整合机制对于进一步弄清其发育模式以及诱导复合多倍体银鲫均具有十分重要的作用。两性融合发育鱼类的精子入卵后,精核在促精核活化因子的诱导下,可以逐渐解凝并形成雄性原核;而在天然雌核发育银鲫受精卵中,精核的解凝和原核化却被抑制。去掉卵壳的控制作用后,精核虽能在卵质中解凝却仍不能形成雄性原核（Ｆｉｇ．１）。可见,雌核发育银鲫与两性融合发育鱼类的卵质间必定存在某些差异。对哺乳类和两栖类卵质诱导精核原核化作用的研究表明,ＤＴＴ和蛋白水解酶能够分别还原精核组蛋白中ＳＳ和水解精核组蛋白,从而诱导精核在卵质中形成雄性原核。本文通过显微注射以及冷休克处理等诱导方法,探讨了人工诱导外源精核在银鲫卵中解凝和原核化,培育银鲫复合种的细胞学机制。实验结果显示,向银鲫卵质中注入胰蛋白酶、ＤＴＴ和     

雌核发育银鲫卵抑制异源精子原核化的作用模式初探

雌核发育银鲫卵能抑制异源精子原核化,其个体发育完全由雌核控制。本实验通过去核、卵质转移和去除卵膜等手段,初步揭示了银鲫卵抑制异源精子原核化的作用,提出了双重控制的假说,即银鲫卵对异源精子具有初级控制和次级控制功能。初级控制可能是由于在精子进入卵子深部的通道上存在着某种特殊的抑制物的缘故,而次级控制的产生则可能是因为银鲫卵质中缺少某种两性融合生殖鱼类卵质所具有的促精子核化物质。

复合四倍体异育银鲫产生的细胞学机制

银鲫是行天然雌核发育生殖的鱼类。以往对其繁殖生物学的研究一般都认为:异源父本的性状不能或仅能少量地在子代群体中得到表达。但桂建芳等(1991)在人工繁育的异育银鲫群体中发现了具有一整套父本染色体组的复合四倍体鱼,其出现率为0.2％左右。此外,Kobayasi     

人工转性异育银鲫精子在两性融合型和雌核发育型卵质中的发育特征及其应用意义

通过甲基睾丸素诱导产生的雄性雌核发育银鲫产生的精子,能与两性融合生殖的鲤鱼卵受精结合,并能正常地转化为雄性原核。但在卵裂开始后,可观察到诸如核物质丢失、多极分裂等异常现象。从而进一步证实了作者过去提出的染色体不相容假设。转性异育银鲫精核在雌核发育银鲫卵中能初步地转化为雄性原核,但其发育程度低于雌核。根据双重控制假设,作者初步认为,转性异育银鲫精子在进入雌核发育型卵的过程中没有受到初级控制的作用。这或许是因为转性雄鱼的雌性遗传基础导致精子的某种特异性因子缺失的缘故。由于雌核发育银鲫卵质中次级控制的存在,使得解凝的精核不能完全转化为雄性原核。     

复合四倍体异育银鲫个体间遗传异质性的研究

用聚丙烯酰胺梯度凝胶电泳,分析比较了４个不同的银鲫雌核发育系,红鲤和复合四倍体异育银鲫鳍的５种不同的同工酶及蛋白表型的差异,表明复合四倍体异育银鲫表型上的差异主要是来自银鲫种内的遗传差异（不同的雌核发育系）。来源于同一个银鲫雌核发育系的复合四倍体异育银鲫,个体间的ＥＳＴ同工酶出现差异,并与父体红鲤的ＥＳＴ同工酶的多态性相关,因此,复合四倍体异育银鲫个体间的异质性也包含了来自父本的遗传影响。在所检测     

雌核发育银鲫的受精生物学研究——天然雌核发育银鲫繁殖方式的讨论

本文研究了同源雌核发育银鲫精子在4种类型的雌核发育银鲫卵中的发育特征。初步揭示了天然雌核发育银鲫根据精子的来源不同而分别具有二种不同的繁殖方式,对其在维持雌核发育银鲫种群生存,促使克隆分化等方面的独特的生物学意义进行了讨论。     

鲫鱼的人工和天然雌核发育

用照射处理的草鱼或华南鲤的精液授精的鲫鱼卵为单倍体雌核发育;所有单倍体胚胎都是畸形,并在孵化前死亡。如果用照射精液授精的鲫鱼卵在18—19℃的水中放置2分钟,然后在0—3℃的冰水中放置20分钟,再放回室温水中孵化,可以从每百颗受精卵中得到4.5—11.9(平均8.34)尾成活的二倍体仔鱼。根据38尾银鲫(其中33尾捕自黑龙江省方正县双凤水库)的细胞学和胚胎学检查,证实它们是雌核发育繁殖的。       

复合四倍体异育银鲫两种不同生殖方式的细胞学观察

在复合四倍体异育银鲫（）×银鲫（）的受精过程中,精子入卵后经过解凝、核化,最终形成雄性原核,并可与卵子的雌性原核融合,证明了复合四倍体异育银鲫卵子具有与两性融合生殖极为相似的拟两性融合生殖的能力;而在复合四倍体异育银鲫（）×兴国红鲤（）的组合中,精子入卵后以固缩状态存在,又表现出典型的雌核发育型生殖行为。因此我们认为复合四倍体异育银鲫具有两种不同的生殖发育机制。此外,我们还观察到在第一次有丝分裂中期有核物质被排斥到纺锤体之外的现象。本文就复合四倍体异育银鲫生殖发育的机制进行了初步的探讨。     

两种发育型鱼类卵母细胞成熟过程中促精核发育现象的研究

采用实验细胞学技术,比较研究了红鲤精核在雌核发育鱼类(银鲫)和两性融合发育鱼类(红鲤、彩鲫)卵母细胞成熟各阶段中的发育状况,结果表明:在两性融合发育鱼类中,当卵母细胞发育到胚泡破裂期吋,精核开始解凝发育,及至第一次成熟分裂中期后阶段,高度解凝的精核才开始原核化,相应地,在雌核发育银鲫中,精核也只有在与胚泡物质接触后,才能开始解凝,并且在三极纺锤体形成后期初步原核化,但与两性融合发育鱼类相比,精核的原核化程度明显降低。这些实验结果初步揭示,在两性融合和雌核发育鱼类卵中均可产生促精核解凝和原核化的两类因子(SNDFs和SPDFs),其中SNDFs的活性表达起始于卵母细胞胚泡破裂时期,而SPDFs活性则产生于第一次成熟分裂中期后或三极纺锤体形成后阶段,并且两性融合发育鱼类卵中的SPDFs活性远远高于雌核发育鱼类卵母细胞。     

异育淇鲫及其双亲同工酶的比较研究

用4.5％聚丙烯酰胺凝胶平板电泳研究了异育淇鲫及其母本淇鲫和父本兴国红鲤的肌可溶性蛋白以及肾、肝、眼、背白肌和心等五种组织的乳酸脱氢酶(LDH)、苹果酸脱氢酶(MDH)和酯酶(EST)。结果发现:异育淇鲫的肌可溶性蛋白以及同工酶的电泳图谱与母本淇鲫相同而与父本兴国红鲤显著不同,因而认为异育淇鲫是淇鲫雌核发育的产物,父本基因对子代基本无影响。在此基础上,本文对异源精子在雌核发育中所起的生物学作用进行了初步探讨。     

彭泽鲫雌核发育的细胞学研究

通过对彭泽鲫♀×彭泽鲫♂、彭泽鲫♀×尖鳍鲤♂“杂交”后代的细胞学观察发现 ,同源与异源精子在彭泽鲫卵中的发育情况基本一致。精子入卵后一般呈固缩状态 ,不解凝 ,不形成雄性原核 ,但都能看到未解凝精核与雌性原核接触 (未融合 )的现象。刚产出的成熟卵子没有看到极体 ,但受精 1 0分钟有极体排出 ,是卵子发育排出的惟一极体。根据观察结果 ,彭泽鲫在细胞学上表现出典型的雌核发育行为特征 ,是以雌核发育方式繁殖的种群     

人工诱导雌核发育日本白鲫

分别用遗传失活的散鳞镜鲤(Cyprinus carpio L.)、团头鲂(Megalobrama amblycephala)精子诱导日本白鲫(Carassius cuvieri)进行雌核发育.未经冷休克处理,用UV照射过的镜鲤的精子(其最佳UV照射剂量为4 200 mJ/cm2)与日本白鲫卵子受精获得(32.4±3.3)%雌核发育单倍体和(0.7±0.3)%杂交二倍体,而照射过的团头鲂精子(其最佳UV照射剂量为3 600mJ/cm2)与日本白鲫卵子受精得到了(33.8±1.4)%雌核发育单倍体和(0.5-±0.3)%杂交二倍体.日本白鲫卵子分别经灭活的镜鲤、团头鲂的精子激活(精子经各自最佳UV剂量处理),施以冷休克处理(受精后2min,0-4℃,40min),其孵化率分别为(27.8±2.1)%和(29.4±3.3)%,发育到摄食期,其正常的雌核发育二倍体鱼苗分别为(15.7±3.4)%和(23.6±4.1)%,在镜鲤实验组中,其正常的雌核发育二倍体鱼苗占孵化鱼苗总数的56%,这比团头鲂实验组中正常雌核发育二倍体鱼苗的比率(达到80%)低,结果表明诱导日本白鲫雌核发育,与母本遗传关系远的团头鲂精子较镜鲤的更有效.从染色体数目、外形特征和性腺结构等方面证实雌核发育后代的生物学特性.雌核发育日本白鲫全为雌性,这表明其雌性是同配XX型.雌核发育日本白鲫在生产上将有着潜在的价值,如比普通日本白鲫长得更快,抗病能力强等.所有的雌核发育日本白鲫的染色体数目都是100,而所有的团头鲂与日本白鲫的杂交后代都是三倍体(3n=124),新三倍体鱼在鱼类养殖和理论研究中将存在潜在的价值.     

Massive production of all-female diploids and triploids in the crucian carp

In many species of aquaculture importance, all-female and sterile populations possess superior productivity due to faster growth and a relatively homogenous size of individuals. However, the production of all-female and sterile fish in a large scale for aquaculture is a challenge in practice, because treatments necessary for gynogenesis induction usually cause massive embryonic and larval mortality, and the number of induced gynogens is too small for their direct use in aquaculture. Here we report the massive production of all-female triploid crucian carp by combining artificial gynogenesis, sex reversal and diploid-tetraploid hybridization. Previously, we have obtained an allotetraploid carp population (4n = 200) by hybridization between red crucian carp (Carassius auratus red var; ♀) and common carp (Cyprinus carpio; ♂). We induced all-female diploid gynogens of the Japanese crucian carp (Carassius cuvieri; 2n = 100). We also generated male diploid gynogens of the same species treated gynogenetic fry with 17-α-methyltestosterone, leading to the production of sex-revered gynogenetic males. Finally, these males were used to cross with the female diploid Japanese crucian carp gynogens and the allotetraploid females, resulting in the production of fertile all-female diploid Japanese crucian carp (2n=100) and sterile all-female triploid hybrids (3n = 150), respectively. Therefore, diploid crucian carp gynogenetic females and sex-reversed male together with an allotetraploid line provide an opportunity to produce all-female triploid populations in a large scale to meet demands in aquaculture industry.     

Genetic Evidence for Gonochoristic Reproduction in Gynogenetic Silver Crucian Carp (Carassius auratus gibelio Bloch) as Revealed by RAPD Assays

Sex evolution has been a debating focus in evolutionary genetics. In lower vertebrates of reptiles, amphibians, and fish, a species or a bioform reproduces either sexually or asexually but never both. A few species were found to consist of all females in fish. These all-female species can propagate by asexual reproduction modes, such as gynogenesis and hybridogenesis. However, the coexistence of sexuality and asexuality in a single species was recently noted only in a cyprinid fish silver crucian carp, Carassius auratus gibelio. This fish had been demonstrated to be capable of gynogenesis stimulated by sperm from other related species. Surprisingly, natural populations of this fish consist of a minor but significant portion (approx. 20%) of males. As different clones with specific phenotypic and genetic characteristics have been found, and RAPD markers specific to each clone have recently been identified, this fish offers many advantages for analyzing whether or not genetic recombination occurs between different clones. In this study, artificial propagation was performed in clone F and clone D. Ovulated eggs from clone F were divided into two parts and respectively inseminated with sperm from a clone D male and from a red common carp (Cyprinus carpio) male. The control clone D individuals were selected from gynogenetic offspring of clone D activated by sperm of red common carp. The phenotype and sex ratio in the experimental groups were also observed. Using RAPD molecular markers, which allow for reliable discrimination and genetic analysis of different clones, we have revealed direct molecular evidence for gonochoristic reproduction in the gynogenetic silver crucian carp and confirmed a previous hypothesis that the silver crucian carp might reproduce both gynogenetically and gonochoristically. Therefore, we conclude that the silver crucian carp possesses two reproductive modes, i.e., gynogenetic and gonochoristic reproduction. The response mechanism of two reproductive development modes may be the first discovery in vertebrates. Additionally, we discuss the evolutionary implication between gynogenetic and gonochoristic reproduction modes and the contribution of the minor proportion of males to genetic flexibility in the gynogenetic silver crucian carp.

The role of HIRA and maternal histones in sperm nucleus decondensation in the gibel carp and color crucian carp

The histone H3.3 chaperone HIRA is essential for chromatin assembly during male pronucleus formation in Drosophila. However, the role of HIRA during fertilization in vertebrates remains unclear. The gibel carp (Carassius auratus gibelio) is a unique gynogenetic crucian carp (gyno-carp). Heterologous sperm nuclei cannot decondense when incorporated in the egg, thus the eggs produce a clonal lineage of all females by typical gynogenesis. In contrast, after entering the egg, homologous sperm can undergo decondensation and sexual reproduction is activated, which may produce both female and male offspring. Therefore, this fish is a useful model for studying the mechanisms of fertilization. Herein, we first compared HIRA expression during embryogenesis between gyno-carp and the gonochoristic color crucian carp (Carassius auratus; gono-carp). In gono-carp, a dramatic reduction of HIRA protein occurs shortly after fertilization, whereas HIRA protein is consistently expressed during embryogenesis of gyno-carp. Next, we used immunodepletion and an in vitro sperm decondensation system, and found that complete removal of HIRA inhibited sperm decondensation in both of the fish. Immunofluorescence localization showed that in the condensed sperm nuclei of gono-carp incubated in gyno-carp egg extracts, HIRA was detected, but neither the histone H2A variant H2af1o nor acetylated histone H4 was observed. These results suggest that HIRA may be a critical factor required for sperm nucleus decondensation, while the defect in deposition of some maternal histones in the sperm nucleus could be one reason why heterologous sperm cannot decondense in the gibel carp egg.     

Induction of Gynogenesis in Japanese Crucian Carp (Carassius cuvieri)

Diploid gynogenesis was induced in Japanese crucian carp (Carassius cuvieri) eggs using UV-irradiated genetically inactive spermatozoa from mirror carp (Cyprinus carpio L.) or blunt snout bream (Megalobrama amblycephala), with or without cold shock. The optimal radiation dosage was 4200 mJ/cm² and 3600 mJ/cm² for mirror carp and blunt snout bream sperm, respectively. At this dosage and without cold shock, the yields were (32.4±3.3)% vs. (33.8±1.4)% gynogenetic haploids and (0.7±0.3)% vs. (0.5±0.3)% hybrid diploids, respectively. At the optimal UV dosage but with cold shock (2 min after fertilization, 0-4°C for 40 min), the hatching rates were (27.8±2.1)% and (29.4±3.3)%, respectively. From hatching to feeding, (15.7±3.4)% and (23.6±4.1)% normal gynogenetic diploids were recorded, respectively. Survival of normal gynogenetic diploids was 56% out of the hatched fry when using irradiated spermatozoa of mirror carp, which was lower than that (up to 80%) when using irradiated spermatozoa of blunt snout bream. This indicated that the sperm of blunt snout bream, with distant genetic relation to the maternal Japanese crucian carp, was more effective than that of mirror carp to induce diploid gynogenesis. The nature of the gynogenetic progeny was identified with external appearance, chromosome number and gonad structure. The presence of only females in gynogenetic progeny probably suggested XX genotype in the female Japanese crucian carp. The gynogenetic diploids have potential values such as faster growth and stronger disease resistance than the normal Japanese crucian carp. All gynogenetic progeny possessed 100 chromosomes whereas all J x B crosses were triploid with 124 chromosomes. The formation of the new triploid hybrids in J x B crosses may be useful in aquaculture.
