水稻IR36及光温敏核雄性不育系培矮64S小孢子母细胞减数分裂期间微管骨架的变化

对水稻（Oryza sativa L.)IR36及光温敏核雄性不育系培矮64S小孢子母细胞减数分裂期间微管骨架的变化的研究显示,微管在小孢子母细胞正常发育的情况下,每一个发育阶段（即造孢细胞时期、细线期、偶线期、粗线期、双线期、终变期、中期Ⅰ、后期Ⅰ）都出现不同的组织结构形态和分布。在IR36中,还发现了一些新的和特殊的 管组织结构和分布。主要包括：（1）在细线期,从核膜向胞质射的微管呈螺旋状,显示核具旋转功能;（2）在偶线期,微管的分布呈极性分布现象;（3）在终变期,核被一组微管形成的宽带围绕着（perinuclear broad band）。而培矮64S小孢子母细胞分裂期间,各发育阶段的细胞内的;管管骨架结构呈现许多不正常现象。如：（1）在偶线期具极性分布的微管分布不存在;（2）在小孢子母细胞减数分裂期间的细胞内出现许多特别粗的微管束;（3）在终变期围绕核的微管宽带结构松散及内含微管密度低。由于微管骨架的分布变化可以使人们较早地在雄性不育细胞内看到败育现象,故此微管的分布和构型变化应可作为一个早期确立雄性不育现象的视觉标记(visual marker）或形态指标予以利用。     

Genetic Analysis and Molecular Tagging on a Novel Excessive Tillering Mutant in Rice

A rice (Oryza sativa L.) mutant with an excessive tiller number, designated ext-M1B, was found in the F₂ progenies generated from the cross between M1B and GMS-1 (a genetic male sterile), whose number of tillers was 121. The excessive tillering mutant also resulted in significant changes in plant height, flag leaf, stem, filled grains per panicle, and productive panicles per plant. The inbreeding progenies of ext-M1B exhibited the same mutant phenotype. The crosses from ext-M1B/M1B, M1B/ext-M1B, 2480B/ext-M1B, D62B/ext-M1B, G46B/ext-M1B, and G683B/ext-M1B expressed normal tillering in F₁, and segregated into two different phenotypes of normal tillering type and excessive tillering type in a ratio of 3:1 in F₂. Inheritance analysis indicated that the excessive tillering character was controlled by a single recessive nucleic gene. By BSA (bulked segregants analysis) and microsatellite makers with the F₂ population of 2480B/ext-M1B as the mapping population, RM197, RM584, and RM225, all of which were located on the short arm of rice chromosome 6, were identified to be linked with the excessive tillering gene with genetic distance of 3.8 cM, 5.1 cM, and 5.2 cM, respectively. This gene is probably a new excessive tillering gene in rice and is designated tentatively ext-M1B (t).

Analysis of Inheritability and Expression Profile of Single and Multi-copy Transgene(s) in Rice Over Generations

Transformation of Oryza sativa subsp indica variety Pusa Basmati 1 with Agrobacterium tumefaciens strain LBA4404(pTOK233) carrying genes coding for neomycin phosphotransferase (nptII), β-glucuronidase (gus) and hygromycin phosphotransferase (hph) under the control of plant-specific promoters (pnos and pCaMV35S) within its T-DNA region produced transgenics with single and multiple copies of T-DNA. Simple Mendelian as well as complex patterns of the inheritance for hygromycin resistance trait were observed in R1 and R2 generations. Non-segregating lines selected in R2 generation did not show further segregation of the resistance trait in R3 and R4 generations accompanied by stabilization of integrated transgenes. One of these lines showed the presence of truncated T-DNA in R1 generation. The single copy transgenics showed high stability of expression of gus gene, whereas multi-copy transgenics were prone to silencing up to R3 generation after which no further reduction in gene expression was observed.

Molecular Genetic Analysis of QTLs for Ferulic Acid Content in Dried Straw of Rice (Oryza sativa L.)

Phenolic acids are secondary metabolic organic compounds produced by plants and often are mentioned as allelochemicals. This study was conducted to determine the genetic basis controlling the ferulic acid content of rice straw in a recombinant inbred (RI) population derived from a cross between a japonica variety, Asominori, with a higher content of ferulic acid, and an indica variety, IR24, with a lower content, using 289 RFLP markers. Continuous distributions and transgressive segregations of ferulic acid content were observed in the RI population, which showed that ferulic acid content in rice straw was quantitatively inherited. Single marker analysis and composite interval mapping identified three quantitative trait loci (QTLs) for ferulic acid content with LOD values of 2.03 (chromosome 3), 3.16 (chromosome 6), and 3.06 (chromosome 7); all three had increased additive effects (13.5, 18.3, and 18.1 g g ^–1) from the Asominori parent and accounted for 5.5, 16.9, and 12.8% of total phenotypic variation, respectively. This is the first report on the identification of QTLs associated with ferulic acid and their chromosomal localization on the molecular map of rice. The tightly linked molecular markers that flank the QTLs might be useful in breeding and selection of varieties with higher phenolic acid content.     

Analysis of transgene(s) (psy+crtI) inheritance and its stability over generations in the genetic background of indica rice cultivar Swarna

Rice the major staple food crop which feeds more than half of the world’s population but, lacks pathway to synthesize and accumulate provitamin A in endosperm therefore rice eaters particularly children, and pregnant women suffer due to vitamin A deficiency. The pathway for provitamin A synthesis in rice endosperm has been engineered and transgenic rice lines have yellow endosperm, called ‘Golden Rice’. The present study aimed at studying the inheritance of transgene(s) in six transgenic events of ‘Golden Rice’ and transfer of provitamin A trait from transgenic lines to a widely grown mega rice variety Swarna. The events E1, R1 and W1 showed normal Mendelian inheritance in F₂, BC₁F₁ and BC₁F₂ generations. The event W1 was studied in BC₁F₃ as well and showed normal Mendelian inheritance of 3:1. The inheritance pattern in L1 event in BC₁F₁ and BC₁F₂ showed normal Mendelian inheritance following expected ratio 1:1 and 3:1 respectively. The two events G1 and T1 showed distorted segregation in BC₁F₂ and BC₂F₂ respectively in Swarna genetic background. In G1 event, transgene inheritance showed segregation distortion in BC₁F₂ in favour of transgene negative plants. In T1 event, inheritance followed expected Mendelian segregation in BC₁F₁, BC₂F₁ and BC₂F₂, generations. However, when tested against co-dominant inheritance 1:2:1 pattern in BC₂F₂, segregation distortion was observed with less than the expected transgene homozygotes. While against 3:1 ratio, it showed the expected segregation pattern in BC₂F₂ generation. Segregation distortion probably due to differential transmission of transgene positive/negative gametes through either/both parents which needs further study.     

Genetic and Non-Genetic Inheritance of Natural Antibodies Binding Keyhole Limpet Hemocyanin in a Purebred Layer Chicken Line

Natural antibodies (NAb) are defined as antibodies present in individuals without known antigenic challenge. Levels of NAb binding keyhole limpet hemocyanin (KLH) in chickens were earlier shown to be heritable, and to be associated with survival. Selective breeding may thus provide a strategy to improve natural disease resistance. We phenotyped 3,689 white purebred laying chickens for KLH binding NAb of different isotypes around 16 weeks of age. Heritabilities of 0.12 for the titers of total antibodies (IgT), 0.14 for IgM, 0.10 for IgA, and 0.07 for IgG were estimated. We also estimated high, positive genetic, and moderate to high, positive phenotypic correlations of IgT, IgM, IgA, and IgG, suggesting that selective breeding for NAb can be done on all antibody isotypes simultaneously. In addition, a relatively substantial non-genetic maternal environmental effect of 0.06 was detected for IgM, which may reflect a transgenerational effect. This suggests that not only the genes of the mother, but also the maternal environment affects the immune system of the offspring. Breaking strength and early eggshell whiteness of the mother’s eggs were predictive for IgM levels in the offspring, and partly explained the observed maternal environmental effects. The present results confirm that NAb are heritable, however maternal effects should be taken into account.
