Mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) from 13 cytoplasmic male-sterile (cms) lines from diverse sources were characterized by Southern blot hybridization to pearl millet and maize mtDNA probes. Hybridization patterns of mtDNA digested with PstI, BamHI, SmaI or XhoI and probed with 13.6-, 10.9-, 9.7- or 4.7-kb pearl millet mtDNA clones revealed similarities among the cms lines 5141 A and ICMA 1 (classified as the S-A1 type of cytoplasm based on fertility restoration patterns), PMC 30A and ICMA 2. The remaining cms lines formed a distinct group, within which three subgroups were evident. Among the maize mitochondiral gene clones used, the coxI probe revealed two distinct groups of cytoplasms similar to the pearl millet mtDNA clones. The atp9 probe differentiated the cms line 81 A4, derived from P. glaucum subsp. monodii, while the coxII gene probe did not detect any polymorphism among the cms lines studied. MtDNA digested with BamHI, PstI or XhoI and hybridized to the atp6 probe revealed distinct differences among the cms lines. The maize atp6 gene clone identified four distinct cytoplasmic groups and four subgroups within a main group. The mtDNA fragments hybridized to the atp6 gene probe with differing intensities, suggesting the presence of more than one copy of the gene in different stoichiometries. Rearrangements involving the coxI and/or rrn18-rrn5 genes (mapped within the pearl millet clones) probably resulted in the S-A1 type of sterility. Rearrangements involving the atp6 gene (probably resulting in chimeric form) may be responsible for male sterility in other cms lines of pearl millet.  相似文献

Summary Fusion of two cytoplasmic male-sterile cultivars of Nicotiana tabacum, one with N. bigelovii cytoplasm and one with N. undulata cytoplasm, resulted in the restoration of male fertility in cybrid plants. All male-fertile cybrids exhibited fused corollas, which is characteristic for the cultivar with N. undulata cytoplasm, while their stamen structures varied from cybrid to cybrid, some producing stamens with anthers fused to petal-like appendages and one producing stamens of a normal appearance for N. tabacum. Restriction enzyme digestion and agarose gel electrophoresis of mitochondrial DNA showed that mitochondrial DNA of the fertile cybrids was more similar to the male-sterile cultivar with the cytoplasm of N. undulata than to the cultivar with N. bigelovii cytoplasm. Some restriction fragments were unique to the male-fertile cybrids. Comparisons between stamen structure and mitochondrial DNA for eight fertile progeny from one cybrid plant led to the identification of several restriction fragments that appeared at enhanced levels in connection with normal stamen development.  相似文献

Summary Intact and functional mitochondria were isolated from sugar beet plants (Beta vulgaris L.) containing normal fertile (F) or cytoplasmic male-sterile (S1–S4) cytoplasms. Incorporation of 35S-methionine by mitochondria isolated from both roots and leaves showed approximately 20 major and ten minor translation products. Comparison of the polypeptide synthesis patterns produced by leaf mitochondria from fertile plants of three different species within the genus Beta revealed several taxonomically related differences. Contrary to this, the patterns of polypeptides synthesized by mitochondria from roots and leaves of sugar beet plants containing the F and S1–S4 cytoplasms were very similar; in the S1 and S2 cytoplasms no qualitative, and only a few quantitative, differences from the F cytoplasm were observed. Thus, in these cases, cytoplasmic male sterility in sugar beet is not correlated with the constitutive expression of variant polypeptides. In the S3 cytoplasm, however, an additional 6 kDa polypeptide was synthesized and in the S4 cytoplasm an additional 10 kDa polypeptide was observed when compared with the F cytoplasm. The expression of cytoplasmic male sterility in sugar beet may be associated with these variant polypeptides. The mitochondrial polypeptides synthesized were identical in plants with different nuclear backgrounds but with identical S1 cytoplasms. Mitochondria from plants with variants of the S4 cytoplasm in the same nuclear genotype also showed identical patterns of polypeptide synthesis, including the synthesis of the 10 kDa S4-specific polypeptide. Pulse-chase experiments did not affect the synthesis of this polypeptide.  相似文献

Summary More than 100 differentBrassica nucleo-cytoplasmic combinations were analysed for the presence or absence of the 11.3 kb mitochondrial plasmid. Contrary to some previous reports, no close association exists between the presence of the plasmid and cytoplasmic male sterility. Some novel abundant RNAs which copurified withBrassica mitochondria are described.  相似文献

Summary Several nuclear and cytoplasmic characters of the back-crossed progeny of a somatic hybrid between male sterile Nicotiana tabacum (N. debneyi cytoplasm) and N. glutinosa have been analysed. Progeny were obtained by repeated back-crossing of a somatic hybrid with pollen from either N. tabacum or N. glutinosa. Nuclear ribosomal RNA genes (rDNA) were found to be a reliable marker to determine the constitution of nuclear genomes in the progeny. The progeny obtained by back-crossing with N. tabacum pollen maintained uniformity in leaf morphology. On the other hand, variation in leaf morphology was observed in the second back-cross population obtained with N. glutinosa pollen. This may be due to a variable contribution of N. tabacum chromosomes. Segregation of rDNA was also found in individuals of the same back-crossed progeny, but was not related to the chromosome number. The stable inheritance of chloroplast DNA in the back-crossed generation was confirmed regardless of the type of pollen donor. Male sterility was consistently maintained throughout several generations, suggesting that the nuclear genome of either N. tabacum or N. glutinosa does not influence the expression of cytoplasmic male sterility.  相似文献

Summary Individual plants of a Japanese onion variety Sapporo-ki, which is characterized by the occasional occurrence of male-sterile plants, have been investigated for mitochondrial (mt) DNA polymorphism. Male-fertile and the Jones' cytoplasmic male-sterile (CMS) onions were also included for comparison. Southern blot hybridization with rrn26, cox-I, cox-II, cob, atpA and atp9 genes as probes revealed the two classes of mtDNA variation within a population of Sapporo-ki: Out of the 41 plants examined 19 contained mtDNA typical of malefertile plants, and 22 individuals contained mtDNA typical of the Jones' CMS genotype. Our results thus indcate that the use of the mitochondrial gene probes may greatly facilitate the classification of individual plants by cytoplasmic genotypes.  相似文献

Summary Mitochondrial (mt) DNA of a new type of rye cytoplasm (Gülzow, G) that induces cytoplasmic male sterility (CMS) was analyzed and compared with rye mtDNAs of different origins MtDNA of the G type was easily distinguishable from mtDNA of another CMS source, Pampa (P) type, and from mtDNA of fertile lines with respect to restriction fragment patterns and hybridization with mitochondrial genes. The results of the molecular analyses indicate a close, but not identical relationship between the mtDNA of the G type cytoplasm and that of cv Pluto.  相似文献

Summary A new method is described by which tapetal cells may be isolated from anthers of cytoplasmic male sterile (CMS) and fertile lines of Petunia hybrida. Using a combination of stereometry and Feulgen densitometry it has been possible to chart DNA synthesis and nuclear division with great precision within these cells. Results are presented which show CMS lines both to synthesize far less DNA than the fertiles and also to undergo less cell division. These differences in DNA kinetics and cytokinesis are obvious long before any differences between sterile and fertile lines may be detected in the meiocyte mass. In addition to these difference in nuclear behaviour, the tapetal cells of CMS lines also synthesize far lower levels of rough endoplasmic reticulum than do their fertile counterparts. Again, this difference is evident at a very early stage of anther development when all other cell components, including mitochondria and plastids, appear normal. These data are discussed in terms of the very special differentiation undergone by tapetal cells in angiosperms, and the conclusions drawn are considered in the perspective of current hypotheses proposed to explain the operation of CMS.  相似文献

Summary Soluble and membrane-bound fractions of plant leaves, cell suspension cultures and seedlings of petunia were examined for phosphohydrolase activity on p-nitrophenyl phosphate (pNPPase) and adenosine triphosphate (ATPase). One cytoplasmic male-sterile (CMS) and one fertile (F) line was examined for each tissue. Both pNPPase and ATPase exhibited a broad optimal activity between pH 5.5–7.0 for the membrane-bound fraction and between 4.5–7.0 for the soluble fractions. The activity of both were inhibited by divalent ions including Mg2+. At pH 7.2, the activities on various triphosphonucleotides were similar and they were hydrolyzed by a rate of 20–50% of that of ATP. Significant differences between CMS and F extracts were: (a) higher activities in CMS membranes; (b) lower Ea (energy of activation) values for activities in CMS membrane functions; (c) seedling and cell-culture CMS extracts exhibited a higher sensitivity to high temperature denaturation; (d) the hydrolase activity on monoand triphospho-cytosine compounds was significantly higher in CMS than in F membranes.Contribution from the Agricultural Research Organization, The Volcani Center, Bet-Dagan, Israel No. 355-E, 1992 series  相似文献

Summary Mitochondrial DNA was isolated from fertile and cytoplasmic male sterile lines of rice. Restriction analysis showed specific modifications in the male sterile cytoplasm. In addition to the major mitochondrial DNA, three small plasmid-like DNA molecules were detected by agarose gel electrophoresis in both cytoplasms. An additional molecule was specifically found in the sterile cytoplasm. These mitochondrial DNA modifications support the hypothesis of the mitochondrial inheritance of the cytoplasmic male sterility in rice.  相似文献

Summary Two pairs of isonuclear lines of cytoplasmic male-sterile (CMS) and fertile (F) petunia cells grown in suspension culture in the presence or absence of amino acid sources were examined for uptake of 11 amino acids and adenosine. Cells from CMS lines exhibited a significant lower rate of uptake than F cells. These differences, for various amino acids, are a result of lower affinity (high Km) values and of lower maximal velocities. Although the uptake of most of the amino acids examined was affected by the availability of energy in the cell, the differences in uptake seem to be less dependent on the energy status of the cell.Contribution from the Agricultural Research Organization, The Volcani Center, Bet Dagan, Israel.

Summary Mitochondrial DNA has been isolated from paired lines of pearl millet maintainer and cytoplasmic male sterile plants. Evaluation of the DNA by agarose gel electrophoresis shows that good quality DNA of high molecular weight can be obtained from mitochondria of both maintainer and male sterile pearl millet.  相似文献

In cytoplasmic male sterility (CMS), original mitochondrial genes contribute to sex determinism by provoking pollen abortion. The function of the encoded proteins remains unclear. We studied the ORF138 protein, responsible for the 'Ogura' CMS, which is both used in hybrid seed production and present in natural populations. We analyzed the biochemical and structural properties of this protein in male-sterile plants and in E. coli. We showed that this protein spontaneously forms dimers in vitro. Truncated variants of the protein, containing either the hydrophobic or the hydrophilic moiety, also spontaneously dimerize. By fractionating mitochondria, we showed that ORF138 was strongly associated with the inner mitochondrial membrane of male-sterile plants. Our results also strongly suggest that ORF138 forms oligomers in male-sterile plant mitochondria. In E. coli, ORF138 was associated with the plasma membrane, as shown by membrane fractionation, and formed oligomers. The production of this protein strongly inhibited bacterial growth, but not by inhibiting respiration. The observed toxic effects required both the hydrophilic and hydrophobic moieties of the protein.  相似文献

The inheritance of mitochondrial (mt) and chloroplast (ct) DNA in the progeny from interspecific crosses between the cultivated carrot (Daucus carota sativus) and wild forms of the genus Daucus was investigated by analysis of mt and ct RFLPs in single plants of the parental and filial generations. We observed a strict maternal inheritance of the organellar DNAs in all interspecific crosses examined. Previous studies on putative F2 plants from a cross between Daucus muricatus x D. carota sativus suggested paternal inheritance of ctDNA. Our reinvestigation of this material revealed that the mtDNA of the putative F2 plants differed from the mtDNA of both putative parents. Therefore, our data suggest that the investigated material originated from other, not yet identified, parents. Consequently, the analysis of this material cannot provide evidence for a paternal inheritance of ctDNA.  相似文献

Summary The development of sporogenous and tapetal cells in the anthers of male-fertile and cytoplasmic male-sterile sugar beet (Beta vulgaris L.) plants was studied using light and transmission electron microscopy. In general, male-sterile anthers showed a much greater variability in developmental pattern than male-fertile anthers. The earliest deviation from normal anther development was observed to occur in sterile anthers at meiotic early prophase: there was a degeneration or irregular proliferation of the tapetal cells. Other early aberrant events were the occurrence of numerous small vesicles in the microspore mother cells (MMC) and a disorganized chromatin condensation. Deviations that occurred in sterile anthers at later developmental stages included: (1) less distinct inner structures in the mitochondria of both MMC and tapetal cells from middle prophase onwards. (2) dilated ER and nuclear membranes at MMC prophase, in some cases associated with the formation of protein bodies. (3) breakdown of cell walls in MMCs and tapetal cells at late meiotic prophase. (4) no massive increase in tapetal ER at the tetrad stage. (5) a general dissolution of membranes, first in the MMC, then in the tapetum. (6) abortion of microspores and the occurrence of a plasmodial tapetum in anthers reaching the microspore stage. (7) no distinct degeneration of tapetal cells after microspore formation. Thus, it seems that the factors that lead to abortive microsporogenesis are structurally expressed at widely different times during anther development. Aberrant patterns are not restricted to the tetrad stage but occur at early prophase.  相似文献
