水稻亚种间杂种F1半不育小孢子发生的细胞学观察

利用石蜡切片和染色体压片法对水稻亚种间半不育杂种F1及其亲本的小孢子母细胞减数分裂过程进行细胞学观察.结果显示:亲本及杂种F1的花药壁发育正常,但部分F1的小孢子母细胞减数分裂异常,形成不均等的二分体和异常的四分体;其染色体在中期Ⅰ分散在赤道板两旁或远离赤道板,形成单价体;在后期Ⅰ和后期Ⅱ产生大量落后染色体或染色体桥.研究表明,部分花粉母细胞减数分裂中期和后期染色体行为异常可能是造成杂种F1花粉半不育的主要原因.     

OT杂种系百合品种‘Cocossa’小孢子败育细胞学研究

以OT百合‘Cocossa’为材料,采用醋酸洋红染色烤片法和石蜡切片法,对该品种花粉母细胞减数分裂过程以及绒毡层在花粉母细胞发育过程中的变化进行系统的细胞学观察。研究发现:(1)当百合花蕾长度在2.5~4.5 cm时,花粉母细胞处在减数分裂时期。(2)在花粉母细胞减数分裂的过程中,出现了较多染色体异常现象:中期Ⅰ出现染色体环;后期Ⅰ出现了滞后染色体和染色体桥;在末期Ⅰ和末期Ⅱ细胞出现不均等分裂和微核;处于同一花蕾和同一花药的花粉母细胞减数分裂具有不同步性,能同时观察到2个不同时期的分裂相;形成畸形、无核、多核的异常小孢子。(3)在末期Ⅱ和单核花粉粒时期,绒毡层延迟降解,引起多核花粉粒、畸形花粉粒以及花粉粒自溶现象。结果表明:OT百合‘Cocossa’小孢子败育是花粉母细胞异常减数分裂与绒毡层异常降解共同导致的。

Recent advances in the study of Kaposi's sarcoma-associated herpesvirus replication and pathogenesis

It has now been over twenty years since a novel herpesviral genome was identified in Kaposi's sarcoma biopsies. Since then, the cumulative research effort by molecular biologists, virologists, clinicians, and epidemiologists alike has led to the extensive characterization of this tumor virus, Kaposi's sarcoma-associated herpesvirus(KSHV; also known as human herpesvirus 8(HHV-8)), and its associated diseases. Here we review the current knowledge of KSHV biology and pathogenesis, with a particular emphasis on new and exciting advances in the field of epigenetics. We also discuss the development and practicality of various cell culture and animal model systems to study KSHV replication and pathogenesis.     

The structure, reproduction and taxonomy of Vidalia and Osmundaria (Rhodophyta, Rhodomelaceae)

Comprises species occurring mostly in subtidal habitats in tropical, subtropical and warm-temperate areas of the world. An analysis of the type species, V. spiralis (Sonder) Lamouroux ex J. Agardh, a species from Australia, establishes basic characters for distinguishing species in the genus. These characters are (1) branching patterns of thalli, (2) flat blades that may be spiralled on their axis, (3) width of the blade, (4) primary or secondary derivation of sterile and fertile branchlets and (5) position of sterile and fertile branchlets on the thalli. Application of the latter two characters provides an important basic method for separation of species into three major groups. Osmundaria , a genus known only in southern Australia, was studied in relation to Vidalia , and its separation from the Vidalia assemblage is not accepted. Species of Vidalia therefore are transferred to the older genus name, Osmundaria. Two new species, Osmundaria papenfussii and Osmundaria oliveae are described from Natal. Confusion in the usage of the epithet, Vidalia fimbriala Brown ex Turner has been clarified, and Vidalia gregaria Falkenberg, described as an epiphyte on Osmundaria pro/ifera Lamouroux, is revealed to be young branches of the host, Osmundaria prolifera.     

New or rare chromosome counts in Artemisia L. (Asteraceae, Anthemideae) and related genera from Kazakhstan

Fifteen chromosome counts of six Artemisia taxa and one species of each of the genera Brachanthemum, Hippolytia, Kaschgaria, Lepidolopsis and Turaniphytum are reported from Kazakhstan. Three of them are new reports, two are not consistent with previous counts and the remainder are confirmations of very scarce (one to four) earlier records. All the populations studied have the same basic chromosome number, x = 9, with ploidy levels ranging from 2x to 6x. Some correlations between ploidy level, morphological characters and distribution are noted.

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.
