亚比棉基因组原位杂交及核型分析

亚比棉异源四倍体是山西农业大学棉花育种组于上个世纪80年代用A染色体组亚洲棉(Gossypium.arboreum)(迁西小黑籽)与G染色体组野生棉比克氏棉(G.bickii)杂交成异源二倍体后,又经过加倍而获得的.亚比棉异源四倍体不仅育性得到恢复、结铃正常,而且成功地将比克氏棉的优异性状--种子腺体延缓形成转育到亚比棉中.这为实现棉花综合利用和提高抗虫性创育了新的育种材料.在随后的多年中,山西农业大学棉花育种组对亚比棉异源四倍体进行了广泛的细胞形态学研究,对其核型做了分析.然而,仅依据形态学和普通的核型图像,还不能确定该异源四倍体棉种中比克氏棉G染色体(亚)组在核型中的表现.该文以比克氏棉gDNA为探针,亚比棉异源四倍体根尖体细胞染色体为靶细胞染色体,封阻材料为亚洲棉(迁西小黑籽),进行亚比棉基因组原位杂交(Genome in situ hybridization,GISH)及核型分析.从获得的图像中可以清晰地发现有52条染色体,其中有/无杂交信号的各一半,这直观地证实了人工复合亚比棉杂交种确为异源四倍体,而且是双二倍体.A亚组与G亚组染色体长度存在交替排列.亚比棉异源四倍体基于GISH图像的核型公式为2n=4x=52=46m(4sat)+6sm(4sat).A亚组和G亚组染色体上各有2对随体.G亚组染色体中至少有5对双重显色明显的染色体,意味着可能有A亚组染色体的交换,而A亚组染色体中只观察到或多或少的探针红色荧光信号,由于分辨率不够而难于定量分析.进一步以45SrDNA为探针,以鲑鱼精DNA作为封阻DNA,对亚比棉异源四倍体进行45SrDNA-FISH,实验表明,亚比棉异源四倍体有14个NOR(核仁组织区)信号,说明亚比棉异源四倍体有14个随体,即7对随体.比克氏棉对亚洲棉的GISH结果显示,在有亚洲棉DNA封阻的条件下,亚洲棉靶细胞染色体无任何杂交信号,说明比克氏棉与亚洲棉染色体之间不存在较大的同源或相似序列.     

异源多倍体杂种棉的研究

异源多倍体化是植物进化的重要因素之一.棉属植物有四个栽培种,即草棉(Gossypium. herbaceum)2n=2x=20、亚洲棉(G.arboreum)2n=2x=26、陆地棉(G.hirsutum)2n=4x=52、海岛棉(G.barbadense)2n=4x=52.其中四倍体栽培种是由两个二倍体棉种通过种间杂交、自然加倍而来的.四倍体栽培种在生长势、抗逆性以及农艺性状等方面均比二倍体栽培种优越.但是,随着倍性的增加,这种优越性具有一定的限度.因此,研究棉属植物最适染色体倍性,在棉花遗传理论研究与育种实践中,均具有重要意义.

二倍体雌核发育鱼产生二倍体卵子的证据

二倍体雌核发育第 1代 (G1)产生的二倍体卵子经紫外线灭活的散鳞镜鲤精子诱导 ,无需染色体加倍处理 ,发育成二倍体雌核发育第 2代 (G2 ) ;G1 产生的二倍体卵子与雄性异源四倍体鲫鲤 (AT)产生的二倍体精子结合 ,形成新型两性可育的异源四倍体鲫鲤 (G1 ×AT)。对G2 和新四倍体 (G1 ×AT)的体细胞染色体数目、生殖细胞染色体行为及性腺结构、外形、生长速度等生物学特征进行了研究。结果表明 :G2 体细胞染色体数目为 2n =1 0 0。在 6～ 1 2月龄G2 中 ,没有发现性成熟的个体 ,组织学切片结果表明 ,G2 性腺处于卵原细胞增殖阶段 ,与 1龄G1 的性腺发育相似 ,性腺发育迟缓。对 6～ 8个月龄G2 性腺染色体制片进行观察 ,结果表明 ,G2 生殖细胞的染色体没有二价体的形成 ,只有有丝分裂的迹象 ,其有丝分裂中期不但有 2n =1 0 0的染色体分裂相 ,还有 4n =2 0 0的染色体分裂相 ,甚至有接近 8n(380 )的分裂相 ,说明 1龄G2 的性腺中存在 2n、4n等多种类型的生殖细胞 ,其中 4n的生殖细胞经正常的减数分裂后可产生二倍体卵子。核内复制 (pre meioticendoreduplication)学说可以较好地解释这种不减半配子产生的现象。新四倍体 (G1 ×AT)体细胞染色体数目为 4n =2 0 0 ,雌雄新四倍体 (G1 ×AT)具有正常的性腺发育 ,在繁殖季

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.
