两例事故受照者染色体畸变分析及生物剂量估算

应用外周血淋巴细胞染色体畸变和CB微核分析方法,对2000年河南许昌“3.06”60Co辐射事故1例受照者(A)和2000年河南开封“6.26”辐射事故一例过量放射性核素内污染致γ射线照射受照者(B)的生物剂量进行估算。结果表明,“A”和“B”两例受照者依据双+环率估算的剂量分别为1.44Gy和0.15Gy,CB微核率估算的剂量分别为1.43Gy和0.22Gy,与用物理方法估算的剂量比较接近,亦与放射损伤的临床诊断一致。泊松分布检验证实,“A”偏离泊松分布,受到不均匀照射。提示染色体畸变和CB微核分析是非常可靠的生物计量估算方法。 Abstract:Biological doses were estimated by using the yields of dicentrics plus rings(dic+r) and cytokinesis-block micronuclei (CBMN) for two victims of the accident radiation occurred on Mar 6,2000 in the City of Xuchang(victim A),and Jun 26,2000 in the City of Kaifeng(victim B),Henan Province,respectively.The results indicated that the equvalent whole body doses based on the standard dose-response curves established by the analyses of dic+r and CBMN were estimated to be 1.44Gy and 1.43Gy(victim A),and 0.15Gy and 0.22Gy(victim B).These doses were very consistent with the mean doses calculated from physical measurement and conformable to the clinical dianosis.The dic+r aberrations of victim A did not accord with Poisson distribution.The analyses of chromosomal aberrations and CBMN are an extremely reliable method in biological dosimetry.The radiation which victim A was exposed to was heterogeneous.     

Effects of age on segregation of the X and Y chromosomes in cultured lymphocytes from Chinese men

Chromosome malsegregation in binucleated lymphocytes is a useful endpoint to evaluate age effect on genetic stability. However, the investigations on chromosome malsegregation in binucleated lymphocytes from Chinese are scarce. In this study, peripheral blood lym- phocytes were collected from 14 old （60-70 years） and 10 young （22-26 years） healthy Chinese men. To detect malsegregation of the sex chromosomes, multi-color fluorescence in situ hybridization （FISH） was performed on binucleated lymphocytes, cytokinesis-blocked by cytochalasin B at the first mitosis after phytohaemagglutinin stimulation. Compared with that in young men, a significant increase in frequencies of loss of chromosome X （9.2± 3.2‰ vs. 1.1 ± 0.9‰, P 〈 0.001） and Y （2.5 ± 1.9‰ vs. 0.2± 0.3‰, P 〈 0.001） was found in old men. Similarly, nondisjunction of chromosome X （16.5± 3.4‰ vs. 3.5 ± 1.1‰, P 〈 0.001） and Y （7.2 ± 2.6‰ vs. 2.4 ± 1.3‰, P 〈 0.001） occurred more frequently in old men than in young men. Regardless of donor＇s age, nondisjunction is more prevalent than loss for both chromosome X and Y. The frequencies of observed simultaneous malsegregation were relatively higher than the expected, suggest- ing an association between malsegregation. These results indicated that in Chinese men, malsegregation of the sex chromosomes increases with age in an associated fashion, and nondisjunction accounts for the majority of spontaneous chromosome malsegregation.     

河南地区新生儿染色体畸变的流行病学调查

为了解河南地区群体染色体畸变发病率情况,研究可能与染色体畸变有关的 因素及再现风险。综合运用多种现代细胞遗传学技术对3068例新生儿进行染色体核型分析,并对染色体核型异常者进行家系分析、再现风险及病例对照研究。结果表明:河南地区新生儿染色体畸变发生率为2.74%;其中13.1%由亲代遗传,86.9%为子代新生突变;病例组84例中有46例再次生育,再现染色体畸变8例,染色体畸变再发生率为17.39%;孕妇高龄、异常妊娠史、妊娠期间致畸因素接触史及胎儿宫内发育迟缓等可能是新生儿染色体畸变的高危因素。 Abstract:To investigate the incidence of chromosomal aberrations and recurrence risk in Henan and inqure into the risk factors resulting in newborn chromosomal aberrations,3 068 newbors were karyotyped with several advanced cytogenetic methods.The result showed the incidence of chromosomal aberrations was 2.74%(84cases),only 13.1% out of 84 aberrations were transmitted from the previous generation and 86.9% arose de novo.Within 46 second babies being born after their sibling with chromosomal aberrations,8 were abnormal karyotypes,the recurrence rate was 17.39%.The case-control study showed mothers with advanced age,mothers exposure to detrimental factors in pregancy and mothers with abnormal reproductive histories,intranter growth retardation may be the risk factors resulting in chromosomal aberrations.     

辐照大麦M~1花粉母细胞染色体畸变及其与M~2 性状变异的关系

大麦种子经5种不同剂量γ射线辐照后, M1植株的花粉母细胞出现多种染色体畸变类型,例如后Ⅰ、后Ⅱ中出现桥、落后,后Ⅰ中出现不对称分裂,后Ⅱ中出现不同步分裂,中期Ⅰ出现环状四价体,末期Ⅰ中有三极分裂和微核,四分体中出现微核且有的微核独立于四分体,从而形成多分体。花粉母细胞的染色体畸变率随剂量的增高而升高,二者呈极显著直线相关关系。 M1花粉母细胞的染色体畸变率与M2的叶绿素突变率及农艺性状变异率呈显著或极显著指数函数关系。 M2花粉母细胞的染色体畸变率低于M1。 Abstract:Barley seeds were irradiated with five different doses of 60 Co-γ ray.There were many kinds of chromosome aberration in pollen mother cells,such as bridge,laggards in anaphase I and anaphase II,asymmetrical division in anaphase I and asynchronous division in anaphase II,ring quadrivalent in metaphase I,three pole division and micro-nuclei in telophase I,micro-nuclei in tetrad and some micro-nucleus separates from the tetrad to form polyad.The frequency of chromosome aberration in pollen mother cells of M1 increased with the increase of dose.There was a significant linear relationship between them.The frequencies of agronomic character mutation and chlorophyll mutation in M2 significantly correlated with the frequencies of chromosome aberration in pollen mother cells of M1 and showed an exponential function.The chromosome aberration frequency in pollen mother cells of M2 was lower than that of M1.     

Biological effects of ion beams in Nicotiana tabacum L.

The biological effects of ion beams on Nicotiana tabacum L., particularly the induction of chromosome aberrations, were investigated. Dry seeds were exposed to ¹²C⁵⁺, ⁴He²⁺ and ¹H⁺ beams with linear energy transfer (LET) ranging from 1 to 111 keV/μm and irradiated with gamma-rays. Ion beams were more effective in reducing germination and survival of the seeds than gamma-rays. The LD₅₀ for ¹²C⁵⁺ beams, ⁴He²⁺ beams and gamma-rays were 35, 60 and 500 Gy, respectively. The frequencies of mitotic cells with chromosome aberrations, such as chromosome bridges, acentric fragments and lagging chromosomes in the root tip cells of the exposed seeds, increased linearly with increasing doses. Relative biological effectiveness (RBE) values, based on the doses that induced a survival inhibition of 50% and a 10% frequency of aberrant cells, were 14.3–17.5 for the ¹²C⁵⁺ beams, 7.0–8.3 for the ⁴He²⁺ beams and 7.8 for the ¹H⁺ beams. Furthermore, the relative ratios of the chromosome aberration types were significantly different between the ion beam and the gamma-ray regimes: chromosome fragments were more frequent in the former, and chromosome bridges in the latter. Based on these results, we concluded that the repair process of initial lesions induced by ion beams may be different from that induced by low- LET radiation.

NaCl胁迫对大麦细胞分裂及染色体行为的影响

NaCl溶液培养导致大麦幼苗根尖细胞有丝分裂指数下降,细胞姐妹染色单体交换(SCE)频率增高,且诱发包括染色体断片、后期染色体桥、不均等分裂及间期细胞微核等的染色体行为异常。细胞平均SCE频率及异常分裂细胞的比率与NaCl浓度和作用时间呈正相关。结果提示：NaCl浓度高或作用时间较长时对大麦细胞具有遗传学毒性。 Abstract：The effects of NaCl solution on chromosome behavior and sister chromatid exchanges(SCE)of barley were studied.Abnormal chromosome behavior including chromosome fragmentation,micronuclei,anaphase bridges and unequal split was found in root tip cells of Hordeum vulgare seedlings.Mitotic index decreased but SCE frequency increased significantly when barley incubated with NaCl solution.The effects of NaCl solution depended on its concentration and treatment duration.The higher the treated concentration was,the higher the ratio of chromosomal aberration was.The longer the treatment duration was,the higher the degree of the effects was.The results showed that NaCl solution was genotoxic when the concentration was higher and the treated time was longer.

栽培稻×大颖野生稻F~2 多倍现象的细胞遗传学研究

A栽培稻(Oryza sativa)×大颖野生稻(Oryza grandiglumis)F2经细胞学鉴定为2n=4x=48, 即已由杂种F1的ACD异源三倍体变成了异源四倍体。研究了从粗线期到末期Ⅱ的染色体行为,结果表明,F2的染色体构型为异源节段异段类型,且异常染色体频率极高,合计为87.13%。各类异常染色体频率变化按比例大小依次为: 单价体,染色体拖曳,落后染色体,多价体,邻接型易位,不均等分离,桥,不分离和松散配对等。邻接型易位是本研究的中心论题。因邻接型易位的存在是F2花粉不育的一个重要原因, 也是产生节段异段染色体构型的重要原因;因邻接型易位带来相互易位,可供育种利用。 Abstract:The chromosome number in F2 of O.sativa×O.grandiglumis were 2n=4x=48.This showed that the allotriploid of hybrid F1 had been changed into allotetraploid in F2.The chromosome constitution of this allotetraploid remained to be determined.The chromosome behavior was studied during meiosis from pachytene to telophase II.Results showed that the chromosome configuration of F2 belonged to the type of the nodal section-allosection,and possessed very high rate of anomalous chromosome,the total rate of anomalous chromosome accounting for 87.13%.The frequency of anomalous chromosome were ranked as follows:univalent,chromosome straggling,lagging chromosome,polyvalent,adjoin translocation,unequal division,chromosome bridge,non-disjunction and loose pairing in descent order.The adjoin translocation was the topic in this study.With this translocation,no vitality gamentes were produced in F2.However,this is a mutual translocation,hence that is very useful for breeding.     

The Role of Viral Infection in Inducing Variability in Virus-Free Progeny in Tomato

The effect of virus-host interactions on subsequent generations is poorly understood. The evaluation of the effects of viral infection on inheritance of quantitative traits in the progeny of infected plants and elucidation of a possible relationship between chiasma frequency in the infected plants and variability of traits in the progeny were investigated. The current study involved genotypes of four intraspecific hybrids of tomato （Solanum lycopersicum L.）, their parental forms and two additional cultivars. Used as infection were the tobacco mosaic virus （TMV） and potato virus X （PVX）. The consequences of the effect of viral infection were evaluated based on chromosome pairing in diakinesis and/or by examining quantitative and qualitative traits in the progeny of the infected tomato plants. Tomato plants infected with TMV ＋ PVX were found to differ in chiasma frequency per pollen mother cell or per bivalent. Deviations have been observed for genotypes of both F1 hybrids and cultivars. At the same time, differences in mean values of the traits under study have only been found for progeny populations （F2-F4） derived from virus-infected F1 hybrids, but not in the case of progeny of the infected cultivars. The rate of recombinants combining traits of both parents increased significantly （2.22-8.24 times） in progeny populations of hybrids infected with TMV＋PVX. The above suggests that the observed effects could be the result of modification of recombination frequencies that can be manifested in heterozygous hybrids and make small contributions to variability in cases of ＇homozygous＇ tomato genotypes （i.e. cultivars）.     

西方蜜蜂四个亚种酯酶同工酶型和苹果酸脱氢酶Ⅱ同工酶基因型的遗传差异

The esterase (EST) and the malate dehydrogenase Ⅱ (MDHⅡ) isozymes in A. mellifera carpatica (C), A. mellifera ssp.(D), “Zhejiang Agricultural University No.1” A. mellifera ligustica (Ea) and A. mellifera carnica (K), and the genotypes of MDHⅡ isozymes in four subspecies of A. mellifera were analysed by IEF PAGE. The results indicate that the four subspecies of A. mellifera showed the same EST zymogram, while A. cerana showed a different EST zymogram, which suggests that the genotypes of EST isozymes in A. mellifera are different from those in A. cerana. The genotypes of the MDHⅡ isozymes in four subspecies of A. mellifera were aa, ab, ac, bb, bc and cc. The C and Ea subspecies exhibited high homozyosity, while D and K displayed high heterozyosity. The allele b appeared to be the highest frequency in C, while the allele c had the highest frequency in Ea. The frequencies of the alleles a, b and c in sub species D were very similar. The alleles a and c were common, while allele b was rare in sub species K. There were highly significant differences in genotype frequencies, allele frequencies, homozyosity and heterozyosity among these four subspecies.     

Selection with two alleles and complete dominance

For a plant selection model with frequency-independent viabilities, fertilities and selfing rates, it is shown that apart from global fixation, for certain parameter combinations a protected polymorphism and facultative fixation (either allele may become fixed according to initial frequencies) may both occur. Facultative fixation requires different selling rates for the dominant and recessive type. Protection of the polymorphism requires resource allocation for male and female function. In this connection the problem of purely genetically caused population extinction is discussed.
For general frequency dependence and regular segregation, the chances for establishment of a completely recessive gene are compared to those of a completely dominant gene. It is proven that the process of establishment of the recessive gene, despite a fitness advantage, may be considerably endangered by drift effects if random mating prevails. The recessive gene may reach the same effectivity in establishment as a dominant gene, only if the recessive homozygote mates exclusively with its own type during the period of establishment.
