Specific Isozyme Marker of a Virus Resistant Barley Derived from Interspecies Cross Between Hordeum vulgare and H. bulbosum

A diploid barley cultivar "Supi 1" was crossed with a tetraploid Hordeum bulbosum “GBC141” to transfer the disease resistant traits. Eleven viable triploid F1 plants were produced by means of embryo rescue technique. The resulting triploid hybrids were backcrossed to diploid barley, and seven BC1 plants were obtained. One of the BC1 plants exhibited barley yellow mosaic virus (BaYMV) resistance when grown in the diseased nursery. Isozyme analysis of H. vulgate, H. bulbosum and their backcross hybrids were made via slab polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis technique. The primary results showed that zymogram variation could be obviously found between diploid barley "Supi 1' and tetraploid H. bulbosurn "GBC141”. A peroxidase isozyme (Rf=0.47) from H. bulbosum was detected in the peroxidase isozyme zymogram of young roots of backcross hybrid BC1-2. This peroxidase isozyme was related to the BaYMV resistance but the linkage relation will be determined by the genetic analysis of the F2 population in the future. The BaYMV resistant line of the backcross with isozyme marker is the important resource of barley disease-resistant breeding.     

Triploid plant regeneration from immature endosperms of <Emphasis Type="Italic">Melia azedazach</Emphasis>

Melia azedazach, a plant for forestation, is popular in many countries. Development of triploid M. azedazach varieties will provide additional advantages, such as faster growth, higher biomass, and; therefore, increased productivity. In this study, we aimed to develop triploid M. azedarach L. by immature endosperm tissue culture. After 22 days of initiation of cultures, calli of the endosperm were visible. After 50 days cultured on Murashige and Skoog (MS) medium supplemented with 2.0 mg/l NAA and 1.0 mg/l BAP, maximum of callus induction rate from the immature endosperm with seed coat was obtained at 55.9%. The highest frequency of shoot induction from endosperm-derived callus was 98% and average of 16.7 shoots per explant on the medium supplemented with 1.5 mg/l BAP and 0.5 mg/l NAA after 42 days. A single shoot was detached from the multi-shoots and transferred to the rooting medium supplemented with 0.5 mg IBA, inducing root formation with 96.6% and with average of 5.8 roots per plantlet after 28 days. The plantlets transferred to polythene hycotrays containing soil and sand (mixture 1:1) in greenhouse showed 100% survival after transplantation. The endosperm-derived plantlets were 100% triploids as evidenced by flow cytometry analysis. Creating triploid M. azedazach plants by regenerating directly from endosperm (3n) described in this work required only 5 months whereas the traditional method of generating triploids through crossing between tetraploid (4n) and diploid (2n) plants could take up to 12 years.     

Organization and variation analysis of 5S rDNA in different ploidy-level hybrids of red crucian carp × topmouth culter

Through distant crossing, diploid, triploid and tetraploid hybrids of red crucian carp (Carassius auratus red var., RCC♀, Cyprininae, 2n = 100) × topmouth culter (Erythroculter ilishaeformis Bleeker, TC♂, Cultrinae, 2n = 48) were successfully produced. Diploid hybrids possessed 74 chromosomes with one set from RCC and one set from TC; triploid hybrids harbored 124 chromosomes with two sets from RCC and one set from TC; tetraploid hybrids had 148 chromosomes with two sets from RCC and two sets from TC. The 5S rDNA of the three different ploidy-level hybrids and their parents were sequenced and analyzed. There were three monomeric 5S rDNA classes (designated class I: 203 bp; class II: 340 bp; and class III: 477 bp) in RCC and two monomeric 5S rDNA classes (designated class IV: 188 bp, and class V: 286 bp) in TC. In the hybrid offspring, diploid hybrids inherited three 5S rDNA classes from their female parent (RCC) and only class IV from their male parent (TC). Triploid hybrids inherited class II and class III from their female parent (RCC) and class IV from their male parent (TC). Tetraploid hybrids gained class II and class III from their female parent (RCC), and generated a new 5S rDNA sequence (designated class I-N). The specific paternal 5S rDNA sequence of class V was not found in the hybrid offspring. Sequence analysis of 5S rDNA revealed the influence of hybridization and polyploidization on the organization and variation of 5S rDNA in fish. This is the first report on the coexistence in vertebrates of viable diploid, triploid and tetraploid hybrids produced by crossing parents with different chromosome numbers, and these new hybrids are novel specimens for studying the genomic variation in the first generation of interspecific hybrids, which has significance for evolution and fish genetics.     

In vitro regeneration ability of diploid and autotetraploid plants of Cichorium intybus L.

Polyploidy has played a significant role in the evolutionary history of plants and is a valuable tool for obtaining useful characteristics. Because of the novelty of polyploids, comparison of their in vitro culture responses with diploids would be notable. In this study, leaf explants from diploid, autotetraploid and mixoploid plants of Cichorium intybus L. were cultured in vitro on the similar media and under same conditions. The ploidy level of the obtained calluses and regenerants were determined by flow cytometry analysis. The callogenic response of leaf explants cultured on the callus induction medium did not depend on the ploidy level of their parental plants. According to the flow cytometry analysis, the increased ploidy levels (4x) and (8x) were observed in the callus cultures with diploid and tetraploid origin, respectively. A considerable difference was observed between the ploidy level of mixoploid plants and their calluses, indicating the dominance of diploid cells in the callus tissue. The results showed that polyploidy led to the loss of organogenic potential as the tetraploid origin calluses failed to regenerate, while the diploid origin calluses successfully regenerated to whole plants.

Extensive citrus triploid hybrid production by 2x?×?4x sexual hybridizations and parent-effect on the length of the juvenile phase

The citrus fresh market demands the production of seedless citrus fruits, as seedy fruits are not accepted by consumers. The recovery of triploid plants has proven to be the most promising approach to achieve this goal, since triploids have very low fertility, are generally seedless and do not induce seeds in other cultivars by cross pollination. Triploid plants can be recovered by 2x?×?4x sexual hybridization. In this work, we present an effective methodology to recover triploid plants from 2x?×?4x hybridizations based on in vitro embryo rescue, ploidy level analysis by flow cytometry and genetic origin of triploid plants. The pollen viability of diploid and tetraploid citrus genotypes was analyzed by comparing the pollen germination rate in vitro. The pollen viability of tetraploid (doubled-diploid) genotypes is generally reduced but sufficient for successful pollination. Triploid embryos were identified in normal and undeveloped seeds that did not germinate under greenhouse conditions. The influence of parents and environmental conditions on obtaining triploid plants was analyzed and a strong interaction was noted between the parents and environmental conditions. The parental effect on the length of the juvenile phase was also demonstrated through observations of a large number of progeny over the last 15?years. The juvenile phase length of the triploid hybrids obtained with 'Fortune' mandarin as female parent and tetraploid 'Orlando' tangelo as male parent was shorter than the juvenile phase obtained with a clementine as female parent and tetraploids of 'Nova', 'W. Leaf' and 'Pineapple' male parents. Key message Effective methodology to recover citrus triploid plants from 2x?×?4x sexual hybridizations and the parental effect on the length of the juvenile phase.     

In Vitro Culture of Different Explants from Hubei Photoperiod Sensitive Genic Male-Sterile Rice

Young panicles, immature embryos, stem nodes, stem tips, leaf segments, root tips and anthers from Hubei Photoperiod Sensitive Genie Male-Sterile Rice (Oryza sativa subsp, japonica) “Nongken 58” (abbr. 58s) and fertile “Nongken 58” (abbr. 58f) were examined for callus induction, plant regeneration and direct plantlet formation on differentiation medium. 58s and 58f had equal ability in all explants cultures except anther cultures. The induction frequency of the anther callus and the regeneration frequency of the green plant in 58s were much lower than those in 58f, and such differences were not affected markedly by the change of fertility of 58s donor plants. Young panicle, immature embryo, stem node, stem tips showed direct plantlet formation when cultured on differentiation medium containing NAA and kinetin. Different explants produced various types of responses. Young panicles could produce callus and then regenerate plantlets. Evidences from histological observation showed that the plant regeneration in direct plaatlet formation of young panicles were mainly organogenetic, bowever, somatic embryogenesis was also possible.     

In vitro induction of tetraploid plants from a diploid Japanese pear cultivar (Pyrus pyrifolia N. cv. Hosui)

Tetraploid plants of a Japanese pear cultivar (Pyrus pyrifolia N.) were induced using an in vitro colchicine treatment. Proliferating shoots were transferred to a shoot proliferation medium (SPM) containing 0.1% or 0.01% colchicine, incubated for 1, 2, 4 or 8 days, then transferred to fresh SPM. The ploidy level of the colchicine-treated individuals was analysed by flow cytometry. Four months after colchicine treatment four mixoploids were selected and cultured on SPM for a further 5 months. The ploidy level of the proliferated shoots derived from selected mixoploids was analysed, and five tetraploid shoots were selected. The selected tetraploid shoots were rooted, and potted plants were grown in a greenhouse. The stomata of tetraploid plants were found to be longer than those in diploid plants.     

In vitro embryo rescue culture of F<Subscript>1</Subscript> progenies from crosses between diploid and tetraploid grape varieties

The purpose of this study was to understand factors affecting in vitro embryo rescue culture from hybrids between diploid and tetraploid varieties of grape in creation new triploid germplasm resources. The effects of different media, removal ages of immature seeds and reciprocal crosses of parents on the germination and seedling survival of immature seeds from crosses between diploid and tetraploid grape varieties by in vitro embryo rescue culture were investigated. The results indicated that the medium consisting of NN-1969 + IAA 1.75 mg l⁻¹ + GA₃ 0.35 mg l⁻¹ + CH 400 mg l⁻¹ + AC 2.0 g l⁻¹ was better than other media. The optimal removal age of immature seeds for the best development of embryos was 35–45 days after pollination (DAP). The percentage of germination (PG) for immature seeds and the percentage of seedling survival (PSS) for immature seeds for diploid varieties used as female parents were 10.72% and 4.35% higher than when tetraploid varieties were used as female parents respectively. A total of 41 hybrid progenies from eight combinations were obtained, made up of 17 diploid, 9 tetraploid, 14 aneuploid, and 1 triploid progeny as determined by root-tip chromosome identification. The triploid progeny was from Fujiminori (2n = 4x = 76) × Jingxiu (2n = 2x = 38). These results implied that it was feasible to extend the hybridization range of grape and to create new germplasm resources by in vitro embryo rescue based on the conventional hybridization. The NN-1969 medium supplemented with GA₃ and IAA was more propitious to the development of immature seeds sampled at about 45 DAP. It was easier to obtain plants using diploid as female parent, but triploid progeny was only obtained using tetraploid as female parent.     

Ecological factors influencing tetraploid establishment in snow buttercups (Ranunculus adoneus , Ranunculaceae): minority cytotype exclusion and barriers to triploid formation

Polyploid speciation is an ongoing, important source of angiosperm diversity. However, the barriers to polyploid speciation and mechanisms of establishment remain poorly understood for all but a few species. Several factors likely to have influenced tetraploid establishment, including barriers to triploid formation, consequences of mixed-ploidy pollen loads, and the reproductive success of the minority cytotype, were examined in snow buttercups (Ranunculus adoneus) through a series of pollination and transplant experiments. Tetraploid snow buttercups do not have stigmatic barriers to pollen from diploid plants, nor does pollen from tetraploid plants have an advantage over pollen from diploids when on tetraploid stigmas. Tetraploid plants transplanted into a diploid population produced 50% fewer seeds than tetraploid plants in a tetraploid population. Intrinsic barriers to triploid formation were relatively weak, but few triploid seeds formed when mixed-ploidy pollen was present. Fecundity of triploid plants was very low, and no tetraploid offspring resulted. These results indicate that in snow buttercups, a triploid plant will contribute 0.8% of the tetraploid seeds of a minority tetraploid plant making it a minor contributor to the demographics of tetraploid establishment. The reproductive costs facing minority cytotype plants may explain the previously observed spatial segregation in snow buttercups.     

Effect of polyvinyl alcohol on in vitro rooting capacity of shoots in pear clones (<Emphasis Type="Italic">Pyrus communis</Emphasis> L.) of different ploidy

Poor adventitious root formation is a major obstacle in micropropagation. In this study, intense efforts have been made for improvement of rooting procedures for triploid, tetraploid and mixploid clones of the pear cultivar ‘Fertility’ obtained by in vitro colchicine treatment. An efficient rooting procedure has been developed for the pear clones of different ploidy by adding polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) to the rooting medium. PVA significantly improved rooting percentage and root number per plantlet for diploid, triploid and tetraploid clones. However, PVA had little or no effect on rooting capacity of mixploid clones. The efficiency of in vitro rooting in diploid, triploid, tetraploid and mixploid is highly genotype-dependent. In general, diploid was the highest, followed by triploid and tetraploid, mixploid was the lowest.     

Chromosome doubling and mode of reproduction of induced tetraploids of eastern gamagrass (Tripsacum dactyloides L.)

Eastern gamagrass, (Tripsacum dactyloides L.) is a perennial, warm-season grass that is being developed as a forage plant. Shoots were derived from callus initiated from immature embryos and immature inflorescences of diploid (2n=2x=36) gynomonoecious eastern gamagrass. These shoots were induced to microtiller in the presence of 3 mg/l benzyladenine. Amiprophosmethyl (10, 15, or 20 μm) was applied to 27 microtillers for 3–5 days to induce chromosome doubling. All 14 surviving plants were tetraploid, (2n=4x=72), as determined by flow cytometry or chromosome counts. These plants were morphologically normal and produced seed. Test crosses were made with a known diploid. Flow cytometry and chromosome counts showed that the progeny were triploid, proving that the induced tetraploids reproduce sexually.

Regeneration and characterization of somatic hybrids combining sweet orange and mandarin/mandarin hybrid cultivars for citrus scion improvement

Protoplast fusion between sweet orange and mandarin/mandarin hybrids scion cultivars was performed following the model ??diploid embryogenic callus protoplast?+?diploid mesophyll-derived protoplast??. Protoplasts were isolated from embryogenic calli of ??Pera?? and ??Westin?? sweet orange cultivars (Citrus sinensis) and from young leaves of ??Fremont??, Nules??, and ??Thomas?? mandarins (C. reticulata), and ??Nova?? tangelo [C. reticulata?×?(C. paradisi?×?C. reticulata)]. The regenerated plants were characterized based on their leaf morphology (thickness), ploidy level, and simple sequence repeat (SSR) molecular markers. Plants were successfully generated only when ??Pera?? sweet orange was used as the embryogenic parent. Fifteen plants were regenerated being 7 tetraploid and 8 diploid. Based on SSR molecular markers analyses all 7 tetraploid regenerated plants revealed to be allotetraploids (somatic hybrids), including 2 from the combination of ??Pera?? sweet orange?+???Fremont?? mandarin, 3 ??Pera?? sweet orange?+???Nules?? mandarin, and 2 ??Pera?? sweet orange?+???Nova?? tangelo, and all the diploid regenerated plants showed the ??Pera?? sweet orange marker profile. Somatic hybrids were inoculated with Alternaria alternata and no disease symptoms were detected 96?h post-inoculation. This hybrid material has the potential to be used as a tetraploid parent in interploid crosses for citrus scion breeding.     

A CYTOGEOGRAPHIC STUDY OF ERIOPHYLLUM LANATUM (COMPOSITAE,HELENIEAE)

Analysis of 368 plants derived from 239 natural populations showed that this taxonomically perplexing and wide-ranging species-complex consists of diploids (n = 8), tetraploids, hexaploids and octoploids. Microsporocytes were the source of most of the chromosome counts. Meiosis was basically regular. Multivalent formation was uncommon, but 11 % of all the plants examined had one or more full-sized extra chromosomes. The frequency of plants with extra chromosomes varied significantly among the taxa, from 0 (five varieties) to over 20 % (two varieties). Except in one instance, where one population yielded a diploid and a triploid, different ploidy levels were not found in the same population. The frequency of diploid, tetraploid, hexaploid and octoploid populations was, respectively, 71, 22, 4 and 2%. Variety obovatum appears to be exclusively diploid, and var. aphanactis exclusively tetraploid. Diploids and one or more polyploid levels occurred in the other taxa. No correlation was found between polyploidy and geological history, soils, topography or climate, nor were the polyploids more widely distributed than the diploids. Some of the polyploid populations seem to have been derived from inter-varietal hybridizations, but others do not. The complex has a “pillar” structure in which 10 diploid taxa support a three-level polyploid superstructure. The available evidence suggests that the major role of polyploidy here has been to stabilize the products of intra- and inter-varietal hybridizations.     

Cytological identification of some trisomics of Russian wildrye (Psathyrostachys juncea).

Russian wildrye, Psathyrostachys juncea (Fisch.) Nevski (2n = 2x = 14; NsNs), is an important forage grass and a potential source of germplasm for cereal crop improvement. Because of genetic heterogeneity as a result of its self-incompatibility, it is difficult to identify trisomics of this diploid species based on morphological characters alone. Putative trisomies (2n = 2x + 1 = 15), derived from open pollination of a triploid plant by pollen grains of diploid plants, were characterized by Giemsa C-banding. Based on both karyotypic criteria and C-banding patterns, four of the seven possible primary trisomics, a double-deletion trisomic, and two tertiary trisomics were identified.     

Segregation for sexual seed production in Paspalum as directed by male gametes of apomictic triploid plants

BACKGROUND AND AIMS: Gametophytic apomixis is regularly associated with polyploidy. It has been hypothesized that apomixis is not present in diploid plants because of a pleiotropic lethal effect associated with monoploid gametes. Rare apomictic triploid plants for Paspalum notatum and P. simplex, which usually have sexual diploid and apomictic tetraploid races, were acquired. These triploids normally produce male gametes through meiosis with a range of chromosome numbers from monoploid (n = 10) to diploid (n = 20). The patterns of apomixis transmission in Paspalum were investigated in relation to the ploidy levels of gametes. METHODS: Intraspecific crosses were made between sexual diploid, triploid and tetraploid plants as female parents and apomictic triploid plants as male parents. Apomictic progeny were identified by using molecular markers completely linked to apomixis and the analysis of mature embryo sacs. The chromosome number of the male gamete was inferred from chromosome counts of each progeny. KEY RESULTS: The chromosome numbers of the progeny indicated that the chromosome input of male gametes depended on the chromosome number of the female gamete. The apomictic trait was not transmitted through monoploid gametes, at least when the progeny was diploid. Diploid or near-diploid gametes transmitted apomixis at very low rates. CONCLUSIONS: Since male monoploid gametes usually failed to form polyploid progenies, for example triploids after 4x x 3x crosses, it was not possible to determine whether apomixis could segregate in polyploid progenies by means of monoploid gametes.     

Polyploidization in leaf callus tissue and in regenerated plants of dihaploid potato

Cytological studies on leaf callus cells and regenerated potato plants suggest that it may be possible to utilize somatic chromosome doubling to obtain tetraploids from outstanding dihaploid breeding clones. The ploidy levels found in callus-derived plants were diploid, tetraploid, and octaploid, but the proportion of these was dependent on the donor genotype. L₁ and L₃ germ layers were studied in more than 300 plants; periclinal ploidy chimerism, an undesirable feature of colchicine doubling, was not found. Leaf callus was more efficiently induced using NAA than 2, 4-D as an auxin source in the Murashige and Skoog medium. A high proportion of dividing cells in young calli were polyploid. The frequency of doubled and octaploid plants regenerated was significantly dependent on donor genotype. The extent of polyploidization was marginally higher after callus growth on a medium containing 2, 4-D than in a medium containing NAA. In some genotypes the chromosome numbers of regenerated plants were variable, being less than tetraploid (mixohypotetraploid). After tuber propagation, the original ploidy level was maintained although mixohypotetraploidy persisted. In a few somatically doubled clones, male fertility was tested and found to be satisfactory with respect to seed-setting.     

Production of triploid plants from endosperm cultures of Phlox drummondii

Triploid plants of ornamental Phlox drummondii Hook. were raised from cultures of endosperm excised from immature fruits having zygotic embryo at early dicotyledonous stage. Endosperm tissue was firstly cultured with the embryo on the Murashige and Skoog’s (MS) medium supplemented with 5 μM 6-benzylaminopurine (BAP) + 10 μM α-napthaleneacetic acid (NAA) for 7 d and recultured after the embryo was removed. A friable callus appeared two weeks after removal of the embryo and it became compact callus mass in another three weeks. Upon transfer of this 5-week-old callus to the MS medium with 10 μM BAP + 2.5 μM indole-3-acetic acid (IAA), maximum percentage of green nodular shoot buds appeared from which regenerated dwarf shoots. Elongation of the dwarf shoots, however, required transfer of the individual dwarf shoots excised from the callus on the fresh medium and best results achieved on medium with low concentration of IAA (0.5 μM) in presence of 10 μM BAP. The shoots were then rooted in vitro and plants subsequently established in pots containing soil. Over 70 % of plants were triploid with a chromosome number of 2n=3x=21. Size of stem, leaves, flowers, pollen, and stomata of these triploid plants were higher and the plants were more vigorous as compared to naturally occurring diploid plants. In particular, flowers showed bright colour with enlarged central eye adding to their ornamental value.     

Post-zygotic gametic selection due to endosperm balance number explains unusual chromosome numbers of 3×× 2× progeny in Solanum

 Crosses between triploid and diploid genotypes are usually the best sources of trisomics in potato as well as in several other crop species. However, 3×× 2× crosses between triploid (2n=3×=36; 2EBN) Solanum commersonii-S. tuberosum hybrids and diploid (2n= 2×=24; 2EBN) genotypes gave progenies with a high number of extra chromosomes, 29–36, suggesting that only eggs with 17–24 chromosomes produced embryos that reached full development. Our hypothesis is that although triploids produce eggs with a range of chromosome numbers, 3×× 2× crosses involving a 2×(2EBN) parent favor eggs with a high chromosome number. These eggs have higher probabilities of possessing the same endosperm balance number (EBN) value (i.e. 1) of gametes produced by the 2EBN diploid parent to give the required 2:1 maternal to paternal EBN ratio in the hybrid endosperm. Under this model, trisomics are produced only if the diploid parent has an EBN of 1. Based on our results and those reported in the literature, it is proposed that in 3×(2EBN) × 2×(2EBN) crosses the endosperm balance number exercises negative selection for gametes with a low chromosome number, and a corresponding low EBN, and positive selection for gametes with a high chromosome number and EBN.
