同一居群韭莲不同植株减数分裂行为差异的遗传分析

对韭莲(2n=48)小孢子母细胞减数分裂及小孢子发育进行研究。结果显示同一居群植株的减数分裂行为存在明显差异。多数韭莲植株小孢子母细胞减数分裂存在少量落后染色体、微核等现象,平均每株中具有异常分离行为的母细胞占14.02%,小孢子发育正常,但花粉无活力。并首次从减数分裂后期Ⅰ的特殊的细胞学形态证明韭莲是臂内倒位杂合体。而少数植株韭莲的小孢子母细胞减数分裂极其紊乱,后期Ⅰ出现多极分离、大量落后染色体,小孢子母细胞减数分裂总异常分离高达94.3%。四分孢子期多分孢子体高达73.4%。分析认为:前者减数分裂行为异常的原因主要由染色体结构变异所致,而后者的原因除染色体结构变异外,还可能与控制纺锤体形成的基因突变有关。

The DUET gene is necessary for chromosome organization and progression during male meiosis in Arabidopsis and encodes a PHD finger protein

Progression through the meiotic cell cycle is an essential part of the developmental program of sporogenesis in plants. The duet mutant of Arabidopsis was identified as a male sterile mutant that lacked pollen and underwent an aberrant male meiosis. Male meiocyte division resulted in the formation of two cells instead of a normal tetrad. In wild type, male meiosis extends across two successive bud positions in an inflorescence whereas in duet, meiotic stages covered three to five bud positions indicating defective progression. Normal microspores were absent in the mutant and the products of the aberrant meiosis were uni- to tri-nucleate cells that later degenerated, resulting in anthers containing largely empty locules. Defects in male meiotic chromosome organization were observed starting from diplotene and extending to subsequent stages of meiosis. There was an accumulation of meiotic structures at metaphase 1, suggesting an arrest in cell cycle progression. Double mutant analysis revealed interaction with dyad, a mutation causing chromosome cohesion during female meiosis. Cloning and molecular analysis of DUET indicated that it potentially encodes a PHD-finger protein and shows specific expression in male meiocytes. Taken together these data suggest that DUET is required for male meiotic chromosome organization and progression.

Semisterile meiotic mutant <Emphasis Type="Italic">sy11</Emphasis> with heterologous chromosome synapsis in rye <Emphasis Type="Italic">Secale cereale</Emphasis> L.

A study was made of the expression and inheritance of the sy11 mutation, which alters homologous chromosome synapsis in meiotic prophase I of rye. The abnormal phenotype proved to be determined by a recessive allele of a single sy11 gene. Univalents and multivalents were observed in homozygotes for the mutant allele. Analysis of the synaptonemal complex revealed a combination of homologous and nonhomologous synapsis in the mutant. The nonhomologous synapsis frequency significantly decreased in the course of meiotic prophase I in the mutant. The number of chiasmata per bivalent in metaphase I was 1.1 ± 0.01 versus 1.8 ± 0.01 in wild-type plants, and the number of univalents was 2.7 ± 0.06 versus 0.5 ± 0.05 in wild-type plants. As a result, a broad range of abnormalities was observed at subsequent stages of meiosis and led to the formation of defective microspores. Mutant plants were semisterile.     

Comparative analysis of female and male meiosis in three meiotic mutants of tomato.

Female meiosis was analysed in squash preparations of ovules from three meiotic mutants and wild-type plants of tomato. In the completely asynaptic mutant as6, chromosome pairing and chiasma formation were virtually absent in both sexes. In the partially asynaptic mutant asb, with intermediate levels of chromosome pairing at pachytene, there were a higher number of chiasmate chromosome arms in female meiosis than in male meiosis, whereas in the desynaptic mutant as5 there were normal levels of chromosome pairing at pachytene and a similar reduction in chiasma frequency in the two sexes. In wild-type tomato, we found slightly higher numbers of chiasmate chromosome arms in female meiosis than in male meiosis. We propose that the higher female chiasma frequencies in mutant asb and wild-type tomato result from a longer duration of female meiotic prophase. This would allow chromosomes more time to pair and recombine. It is possible that a longer duration of prophase I does not affect mutants as5 and as6, either because the meiotic defect acts before the pairing process begins (in as6) or because it acts at a later stage and involves chiasma maintenance (in as5).

The dsy10 Mutation of Arabidopsis results in desynapsis and a general breakdown in meiosis

The proper pairing and recombination of chromosomes during prophase is essential for the formation of gametes during meiosis. As part of studies to identify genes required for homologous chromosome pairing and recombination during meiosis in plants, we characterized a number of T-DNA-tagged, male-sterile mutants of Arabidopsis. Preliminary cytological studies on one line, 7219 which is male and female sterile, suggested that the mutation may disrupt meiosis and result in the formation of aberrant microsporocytes and microspores. In this report we present the results of a detailed analysis of meiosis in microsporocytes of sterile plants to elucidate the nature of the 7219 mutation. Analysis indicates that the mutation usually results in a desynaptic phenotype, with ten sister chromatids observed prior to metaphase I in most cells. Based on this, we named the mutation dsy10. The presence of several other meiotic defects suggests that dsy10 may not be a typical desynaptic mutant. Received: 15 December 2000 / Accepted: 19 April 2001     

美味猕猴桃原生质体再生植株细胞遗传学研究 Ⅱ.性别性状变异和小孢子发生及其发育命运

对美味猕猴桃同一雌株叶原生质体再生植株进行了形态学、细胞学以及育性特性的比较研究,确认该体细胞无性系性别性状发生变异。其中60％雄性再生植株退化的雌蕊仍保留不同程度的雌性化特征,但雌性全不育;小孢子则能发育成有功能的雄配子体,但有一定的功能缺陷。再生雌株中P1组群性状特征与母株相似;P2组群花发育畸形,导致雌性不育或育性极差。细胞学研究表明,小孢子母细胞减数分裂时染色体异常行为对小孢子发生的影响不能决定其性别类型;雌株类型小孢子败育过程有受基因调控的细胞学特征。认为雌株和雄株小孢子的发育受控于不同的基因体系,具性别的特异性。再生植株性别性状发生变异可能是性别控制基因或染色体发生结构性变异所致。母株染色体上累积的结构性变异与该遗传基础具易变性密切有关。     

MS1516是拟南芥四分体形成和小孢子发育的必需基因

以前报道了雄性育性下降突变体ms1516,而且图位克隆的方法已将突变基因MS1516定位到拟南芥基因组第3条染色体上28kh的区间内。本文通过进一步的生物信息学分析,发现该定位区间内有一个与减数分裂有关的基因AtATM,而且等位实验结果表明rns1516和nfm0是等位突变体。细胞学分析结果表明,ms1516突变体在花药发育过程中产生多个不均等的小孢子,而且大多数的小孢子不能发育成成熟的花粉。DAPI染色的结果显示小孢子母细胞减数分裂过程中,染色体不能正常分离,对成熟花粉的扫描电镜观察结果发现突变体多数花粉形态异常。以上结果说明MS1516基因在小孢子形成和发育过程中具有重要作用。     

Characterization of three male-sterile mutants of Arabidopsis thaliana exhibiting alterations in meiosis

Male-sterile mutants are being studied to deepen our understanding of the complex processes of microsporogenesis and microgametogenesis. Due to difficulties associated with isolating the mutated gene, there is currently very little molecular information on the defects responsible for male sterility. As a first step in utilizing male-sterile mutants to better understand the bio-chemical and molecular processes that control pollen development, we have characterized a number of Arabidopsis thaliana lines that were generated by seed transformation and exhibit male sterility. We report here the identification and characterization of three male-sterile A. thaliana lines, all of which are tagged with T-DNA and show aberrant meiosis. A detailed cytochemical study was conducted on these lines to better understand the timing and nature of each mutation and to investigate how these mutations affect subsequent steps of pollen development. All three mutants undergo apparently normal morphogenesis until the onset of meiosis. In one line (6492) the mutation is most notable at the tetrad stage when up to eight microspores can be seen in each callose-encased tetrad. The resulting mutant microspores are of variable sizes and contain different amounts of DNA. Two other mutants (7219 and 7593) possess many common features, including variable developmental pathways, failure to produce callose, production of vacuolate, coenocytic (multi-nucleate) cells that are surrounded by persistent microsporocyte walls, and asynchronous patterns of development. Unlike the situation in wild-type plants, where developmental stages are correlated with bud length, such correlations are almost impossible with these two mutants. The sporogenous tissue within all three of these mutant lines collapses prior to anthesis.
