单位点孢子体-配子体互作模型中不育基因的位置和效应的估计方法

水稻籼粳亚种间杂交F1通常表现为高度不育,这种不育性的一种遗传学解释称为单位点孢子体-配子体互作模型.为了研究这种不育性,提出了一种统计方法,可以估计单位点孢子体-配子体互作模型中不育基因位点的位置和效应.该方法利用回交群体中呈现异常分离的标记位点,用最大似然法对不育基因与标记位点之间的重组率和雌配子存活率进行估计.由于所依据的是非连续变异的遗传标记的分离,而不是连续分布的配子育性指标,因此可以避免由育性直接估计所带来的重组率结果的不稳定.     

与偏分离位点连锁的QTL作图的统计方法

提出了一种统计方法,可以估计与偏分离位点连锁的QTL的位置和效应。该方法利用回交群体中呈现偏分离的分子标记,首先用最大似然法对偏分离位点与标记位点之间的重组率和配子存活率进行估计,然后用区间作图法估计加性-显性模型下QTL的位置和效应参数。该方法可用于对常规作图研究中表现偏分离的标记进行分析,以帮助我们发现新的偏分离基因（或不育基因）和数量性状位点。

光敏核不育水稻农垦58S 41 kD蛋白质的N—端序列分析

光敏核不育性受1对或2对或3对隐性主基因控制,这反应了光敏核不育特性遗传机制的复杂性。张端品等用形态标记法将农垦58S光敏核不育基因定位于第5染色体。胡学应和万邦惠用同工酶法以农垦58S/02428 F_2群体为材料,将光敏核不育基因定位于第6和11染色体;Zhang等用RFLP法以32001S/明恢63 F_2群体为材料将不育基因定位于第3和7染色体。这三种方法所得到的定位结果完全不同,综合起来,第3、5、6、7和11染色体均有光敏核不育基因的位点,由此结果可得出两种解释:1.光敏核不育性由多对基因、至少5对基因控制;2.上述定位方法均是以不育(可育)性状在F_2群体中的分离模式为依据,育性划分界线的不同将会造成分离群体中单株表现值的差异,从而影响定位结果的精确性;再者不同实验室使用的材料不一致,已知不同遗传背景和光温条件影响光敏核不育基因的表达。因此,染色体定位结果有待确证。光敏核不育基因在染色体上定位的复杂性和不一致在某种程度上影响了基因克隆和光敏核不育分子机制的研究。无论光敏核不育性的遗传机制如何复杂,上述结果

Genetic architecture of male sterility and segregation distortion in Drosophila pseudoobscura Bogota-USA hybrids

Understanding the genetic basis of reproductive isolation between recently diverged species is a central problem in evolutionary genetics. Here, I present analyses of the genetic architecture underlying hybrid male sterility and segregation distortion between the Bogota and USA subspecies of Drosophila pseudoobscura. Previously, a single gene, Overdrive (Ovd), was shown to be necessary but not sufficient for both male sterility and segregation distortion in F(1) hybrids between these subspecies, requiring several interacting partner loci for full manifestation of hybrid phenomena. I map these partner loci separately on the Bogota X chromosome and USA autosomes using a combination of different mapping strategies. I find that hybrid sterility involves a single hybrid incompatibility of at least seven interacting partner genes that includes three large-effect loci. Segregation distortion involves three loci on the Bogota X chromosome and one locus on the autosomes. The genetic bases of hybrid sterility and segregation distortion are at least partially--but not completely--overlapping. My results lay the foundation for fine-mapping experiments to identify the complete set of genes that interact with Overdrive. While individual genes that cause hybrid sterility or inviability have been identified in a few cases, my analysis provides a comprehensive look at the genetic architecture of all components of a hybrid incompatibility underlying F(1) hybrid sterility. Such an analysis would likely be unfeasible for most species pairs due to their divergence time and emphasizes the importance of young species pairs such as the D. pseudoobscura subspecies studied here.     

DISSECTING THE GENETIC ARCHITECTURE OF F1 HYBRID STERILITY IN HOUSE MICE

Hybrid sterility as a postzygotic reproductive isolation mechanism has been studied for over 80 years, yet the first identifications of hybrid sterility genes in Drosophila and mouse are quite recent. To study the genetic architecture of F₁ hybrid sterility between young subspecies of house mouse Mus m. domesticus and M. m. musculus, we conducted QTL analysis of a backcross between inbred strains representing these two subspecies and probed the role of individual chromosomes in hybrid sterility using the intersubspecific chromosome substitution strains. We provide direct evidence that the asymmetry in male infertility between reciprocal crosses is conferred by the middle region of M. m. musculus Chr X, thus excluding other potential candidates such as Y, imprinted genes, and mitochondrial DNA. QTL analysis identified strong hybrid sterility loci on Chr 17 and Chr X and predicted a set of interchangeable autosomal loci, a subset of which is sufficient to activate the Dobzhansky–Muller incompatibility of the strong loci. Overall, our results indicate the oligogenic nature of F₁ hybrid sterility, which should be amenable to reconstruction by proper combination of chromosome substitution strains. Such a prefabricated model system should help to uncover the gene networks and molecular mechanisms underlying hybrid sterility.     

Molecular markers of nuclear restoration gene Rf1 in sunflower using bulked segregant analysis-RAPD

Restoration of cytoplasmic male sterility (CMS) in sunflower was demonstrated to be controlled by polygenes by analysing 982 effective crosses among 109 self-crossed lines and 16 CMS lines. Two self-crossed lines and one CMS line with distinct genotypes were applied to creation of segregating populations for DNA bulks of the target gene Rfl. Bulked DNA was prepared in order to investigate single gene Rfl and its gene marker among polygenic characters at the same genetic background. Using 80 10-mer operon primers, 620 RAPD reactions were carried out between fertile and sterile DNA bulks. In about 800 loci, primary results showed that 8 were related to the restoration genes. Furthermore. 2 were confirmed as RAPD markers for gene Rfl by examining 9 maintenance and 7 restoration lines. This method is the improvement for bulked segregant analysis[1] with which markers of single gene of target can be identified rapidly among polygenic characters.     

Genetic analysis of ecological relevant morphological variability in Plantago lanceolata L.

Summary Morphological variability was analysed in an F₂-generation derived from crosses between two ecotypes of Plantago lanceolata L. Six allozyme loci, localised in five linkage groups, were used as markers. For two marker loci, Got-2 and Gpi-1, segregations did not fit monogenic ratios. In the linkage groups to which these two loci belonged, male sterility genes appeared to be present. In these crosses, male sterility (type 3, as described by Van Damme 1983) may be determined by two recessive loci located in the linkage groups of Got-2 and of Gpi-1. Many correlations of morphological and life history characters with allozyme markers were observed. The quantitative trait loci did not appear to be concentrated in major gene complexes. Often many loci were involved, sometimes with effects opposite to those expected from the population values. Main effects of the linkage groups appeared to be more important than interaction effects in determining variability. It also appeared that there is a positive correlation between the number of heterozygous allozyme loci and generative growth.Grassland Species Research Group Publication No. 115     

Genetics of Male and Female Sterility in Hybrids of Drosophila pseudoobscura and D. persimilis

The genetic basis of male and female sterility in hybrids of Drosophila pseudoobscura-Drosophila persimilis was studied using backcross analysis. Previous studies indirectly assessed male fertility by measuring testis size; these studies concluded that male sterility results from an X chromosome-autosome imbalance. By directly scoring for the production of motile sperm, male sterility is shown to be largely due to an incompatibility between genes on the X and Y chromosomes of these two species. These species have diverged at a minimum of nine loci affecting hybrid male fertility. Semisterility of hybrid females appears to result from an X chromosome-cytoplasm interaction; the X chromosome thus has the largest effect on sterility in both male and female hybrids. This is apparently the first analysis of the genetic basis of female sterility, or of sterility/inviability affecting both sexes, in an animal hybridization.     

Chromosomal regions associated with segregation distortion of molecular markers in F2 , backcross, doubled haploid, and recombinant inbred populations in rice (Oryza sativa L.)

Chromosomal regions associated with marker segregation distortion in rice were compared based on six molecular linkage maps. Mapping populations were derived from one interspecific backcross and five intersubspecific (indica?/?japonica) crosses, including two F₂ populations, two doubled haploid (DH) populations, and one recombinant inbred (RI) population. Mapping data for each population consisted of 129–629 markers. Segregation distortion was determined based on chi-square analysis (P?<?0.01) and was observed at 6.8–31.8% of the mapped marker loci. Marker loci associated with skewed allele frequencies were distributed on all 12 chromosomes. Distortion in eight chromosomal regions bracketed previously identified gametophyte (ga) or sterility genes (S). Distortion in three other chromosomal regions was found only in DH populations, where japonica alleles were over-represented, suggesting that loci in these regions may be associated with preferential regeneration of japonica genotypes during anther culture. Three additional clusters of skewed markers were observed in more than one population in regions where no gametophytic or sterility loci have previously been reported. A total of 17 segregation distortion loci may be postulated based on this study and their locations in the rice genome were estimated.     

A genome-wide analysis of wide compatibility in rice and the precise location of the S5 locus in the molecular map

 The discovery of wide-compatibility varieties (WCVs) that are able to produce normal fertility hybrids when crossed both to indica and japonica rice has enabled the fertility barrier between indica and japonica subspecies to be broken and provided the possibility of developing inter-subspecific hybrids in rice breeding programs. However, a considerable variation in the fertility level of hybrids from the same WCV crossed to different varieties has often been observed. One hypothesis for this variable fertility is that additional genes are involved in hybrid fertility besides the wide-compatibility gene (WCG). To assess such a possibility, we performed a genome-wide analysis by assaying a large population from a three-way cross ‘02428’/‘Nanjing 11’//‘Balilla’ using a total of 171 RFLP probes detecting 191 polymorphic loci distributed throughout the entire rice linkage map. Our analysis recovered 3 loci conferring significant effects on hybrid fertility. The major locus on chromosome 6 coincided in chromosomal location with the previously identified S ₅ locus, and the 2 minor loci that mapped to chromosomes 2 and 12, respectively, were apparently distinct from all previously reported hybrid sterility genes. Interaction between the indica and japonica alleles at each of the loci caused a reduction in hybrid fertility. The joint effect of the 2 minor loci could lead to partial sterility even in the presence of the WCG. The location of the S ₅ locus on the molecular marker linkage map was determined to be approximately 1.0 cM from the RFLP locus R2349. This tight linkage will be useful for marker-aided transfer of the WCG in hybrid rice breeding and for map-based cloning. Received: 5 February 1997 / Accepted: 4 April 1997     

Application of Alcohol Dehydrogenase Loci in Testing F1 Hybridity of Tomato

Expression of alcohol dehydrogenase loci was used to estimate hybridity of Lycopersicon esculentum Mill. in 1012 seeds. The banding patterns were obtained by means of vertical block electrophoresis in polyacrylamide gels. It was established that qualitative variation of locus Adh-2 can be applied to prove hybridity of F₁ tomato seeds. This genetic marker is indicative for hybrids with fertile maternal line or with position male sterility line and not only for maternal line with pollen male sterility. This revised version was published online in July 2006 with corrections to the Cover Date.     

GENETICS OF SORDARIA FIMICOLA. III. CROSS-COMPATIBILITY AMONG SELF-FERTILE AND SELF-STERILE CULTURES

Carr , A. J. H. (Univ. Coll. Wales, Aberystwyth), and Lindsay S. Olive . Genetics of Sordaria fimicola. III. Cross compatibility among self-fertile and self-sterile cultures. Amer. Jour. Bot. 46(2) : 81-91. Illis. 1959.—Cross-compatibility in Sordaria fimicola is shown to be dependent upon a number of factors controlling the sexual process, from hyphal anastomosis and nuclear migration on through to perithecial formation and nuclear compatibility. Fertile cultures which were incompatible through inability to anastomose were induced to cross by the use of a third culture which would anastomose with both. Certain spontaneous or irradiation-produced sterility mutants were found to be compatible if the sterility genes were at different loci, through complementation by the wild-type alleles. In some pairings, cross-karyogamy was preferential, and in one case, only hybrid perithecia were produced. Fully fertile recombinants segregated from these crosses in frequencies which indicated that the sterility loci were unlinked. Certain sterility genes were found to influence hyphal anastomosis, nuclear migration, and the development of fertile sector heterokaryons from the zone of anastomosis. Mutant factors at two loci in a U.V. mutant causing self-sterility were found also to be responsible for lethality in ascospore germination. Factors in one sterility mutant controlled the production of a sterility-inducing substance which diffused into the medium. In some crosses, complementation of two sterile cultures towards fertility is shown to require a balanced nuclear ratio. Factors are described which increase the inhibitory effect of one sterility gene, while another factor was found to suppress its effect and thereby make the culture self-fertile. It is concluded that, since there is recombination between the sterility loci, these results do not represent the derivation of balanced heterothallism from a normally homothallic system, although it may lead by evolutionary progression to such a life cycle. The possible physiologic action of the sterility genes is discussed.     

Comparative genetics of hybrid incompatibility: sterility in two Solanum species crosses

The genetic basis of hybrid sterility can provide insight into the genetic and evolutionary origins of species barriers. We examine the genetics of hybrid incompatibility between two diploid plant species in the plant clade Solanum sect. Lycopersicon. Using a set of near-isogenic lines (NILs) representing the wild species Solanum pennellii (formerly Lycopersicon pennellii) in the genetic background of the cultivated tomato S. lycopersicum (formerly L. esculentum), we found that hybrid pollen and seed infertility are each based on a modest number of loci, male (pollen) and other (seed) incompatibility factors are roughly comparable in number, and seed-infertility QTL act additively or recessively. These findings are remarkably consistent with our previous analysis in a different species pair, S. lycopersicum x S. habrochaites. Data from both studies contrast strongly with data from Drosophila. Finally, QTL for pollen and seed sterility from the two Solanum studies were chromosomally colocalized, indicating a shared evolutionary history for these QTL, a nonrandom genomic distribution of loci causing sterility, and/or a proclivity of certain genes to be involved in hybrid sterility. We show that comparative mapping data can delimit the probable timing of evolution of detected QTL and discern which sterility loci likely evolved earliest among species.
