植物细胞核雄性不育基因研究进展

植物雄性不育既是研究植物生殖生物学重要的植物学性状也是研究作物杂种优势利用重要的农艺性状,在遗传和分子生物学中具有重要地位。以模式植物拟南芥和水稻为主,对植物雄性不育的控制基因和相关分子机理已有众多进展,按照花药发育时期和雄性败育的表现形式可以归纳为减数分裂异常、胼胝质代谢异常、绒毡层发育异常、花粉壁发育异常、花药开裂异常,以及其它类型的雄性不育。在不育相关基因中,导致胼胝质代谢异常、绒毡层发育异常和花粉壁发育异常的基因往往表现一因多效,一个相关基因的突变会产生复合表型。关于植物雄性不育相关基因的研究表明,雄性器官和小孢子形成过程中的任何相关基因的改变,均可导致雄性不育的产生。本文总结了植物核基因雄性不育的研究进展,以期促进不同物种间雄性不育基因的比较分析,使植物雄性不育研究更加深入。     

大豆花药优势表达基因GmFLA22a调控雄性育性的功能研究

我国大豆对外依赖度高,加速提高大豆产量是目前亟需解决的问题。利用杂种优势是大幅提高作物产量的有效途径之一,近年来基于隐性核不育基因开发的智能雄性不育系统,为快速利用大豆杂种优势提供了可能。但是,大豆雄性不育基因研究相对滞后。本研究基于课题组大豆花器官转录组数据,筛选到在大豆早期花药中优势表达基因GmFLA22a,编码含有FAS1结构域的成束状阿拉伯半乳糖蛋白,亚细胞定位表明其可能在内质网中发挥功能。利用基因编辑技术获得Gmfla22a突变体,突变体植株在营养生长阶段与对照组相比没有明显差异,但在生殖生长阶段表现为结实率显著降低。Gmfla22a突变体花粉活力和花粉萌发率均无明显异常,组织切片并染色观察发现,突变体植株花药室壁增厚,花粉粒释放延迟、不完全,这可能是导致Gmfla22a结实率降低的原因。综上,本研究初步揭示GmFLA22a可能参与调控大豆雄性育性,为深入揭示其分子功能提供重要遗传材料,同时为大豆杂种优势利用提供基因资源和理论依据。     

植物细胞核雄性不育的分子机制

植物细胞核雄性不育是育性基因时空调控表达异常的结果。目前已克隆到一些绒毡层特异表达的基因,如EMS1/ EXS、UDT1及RTS等。鉴定了一些减数分裂相关的基因,如AtRAD51、AtMND1及PAIR1、PAIR2等。此外,MMD1、MS1及TDR等还与细胞程序性死亡有关。

一年生陆地棉细胞核雄性不育系洞A的宿生栽培效应

植物细胞核雄性不育系具有易于恢复但保持困难的特点。根据广西南部冬季无霜冻的气候特点,在广西南宁进行了一年生陆地棉细胞核雄性不育系洞A的三年露地栽培。结果表明:二、三年生洞A在5月上旬开花、6月下旬吐絮,这是一年生洞A在相同环境条件下难以达到的;与一年生洞A相比,二、三年生洞A的子指、单株铃数、产量显著增加,但单铃重、衣分显著下降,僵瓣率显著增加;纤维品质基本没有显著变化。说明利用陆地棉细胞核雄性不育系在南亚热带的宿生栽培进行良种繁育具有较好的前景。     

大豆细胞质雄性不育恢复基因GmRf1的精细定位

目前大豆杂交育种主要依赖于以细胞质雄性不育(CMS,cytoplasmic male sterility)为基础的"三系"法,这其中恢复系的选育至关重要.恢复基因的有无和恢复能力的强弱主要通过被测恢复系与不育系测交后代F1的育性确定,既耗时又费力.若能定位和克隆恢复基因(Rf,restorer-of-fertility...

甘蓝型油菜分子标记连锁图谱的构建及显性细胞核雄性不育基因的图谱定位

在显性细胞核雄性不育系Rs1046A和双低油菜品种Samourai构建的回交分离群体中,运用AFLP和SSR两种标记技术构建了一个甘蓝型油菜(Brassica napus L.)的分子标记遗传连锁图谱。该图谱共包含138个AFL．P标记、83个SSR标记和1个形态标记,分布于18个主要连锁群、2个三联体和1个连锁对上,图谱总长度为2646cM,偏分离标记的比例为11．7％。显性细胞核雄性不育基因Ms被定位到第10连锁群(LG10)上。同时,偏分离标记聚集于第8连锁群(LG8)和第16连锁群(LGl6)的末端,形成了十分明显的偏分离标记密集区域。研究结果对于油菜核不育两型系的分子标记辅助选择育种具有重要意义,同时也为克隆和分离核不育基因以及研究核不育的分子机理打下了良好的基础。     

水稻“三明”显性核不育基因的定位

"三明显性核不育水稻"突变体是由福建省三明市农业科学研究所于2001年在杂交组合"SE21S/Basmati370"的F2代群体中发现的。其不育性受1个显性基因控制(将该基因命名为SMS)。经过多代回交,该显性不育基因已导入籼稻品种佳福占的遗传背景中(将该不育材料称为佳不育)。为了定位SMS,文章将佳不育与粳稻品种日本晴杂交,并将F1与佳福占测交,构建了一个作图群体。利用SSR和INDEL标记,通过混合分离分析和连锁分析,将SMS定位于第8号染色体上两个INDEL标记ZM30和ZM9之间,约99 kb的区间内。该结果为克隆SMS奠定了基础。

The relationship between a nuclear restorer gene and the nuclear gene for male sterility in Petunia

Summary This paper describes the relationship between the restorer gene and the gene for male sterility in the background of normal cytoplasm. We combined these two traits by crosses in one plant, thus making genetic analysis possible. Two main conclusions can be drawn: 1. The restorer gene and the gene for male sterility are located at different loci which segregate independently one from the other. 2. The Rf allele does not affect the expression of the e allele.Contribution from the Department of Plant Genetics and Breeding, Agricultural Research Organization, The Volcani Center, Bet Dagan, Israel. 1983 series, No. 779 E     

太空诱变玉米核不育突变体矮化的遗传及外施赤霉素分析

为了解太空诱变玉米核不育突变体矮化的遗传规律和原因,该研究以不育突变体为母本,自交系178、478为父本,对测交 F1、F2群体进行育性鉴定和株高分析,对 F2可育株进行基因型和株高分析,对姊妹交后代分离群体进行育性鉴定和株高、雄穗长度、节间数、节间长度分析,同时,还对姊妹交后代分离群体进行施赤霉素处理,调查育性和株高的变化。结果表明：178和478背景下的 F1表现出与测交母本一样的极显著差异;在178和478核背景下的 F2中,不育株株高极显著矮于可育株,两核背景下的不育株间株高差异不显著,而可育株间株高差异极显著;F2中纯合和杂合可育株的株高差异不显著;姊妹交后代分离群体中不育株株高、雄穗长度、节间数和节间长度极显著小于可育株;外施赤霉素的不育株在苗期表现出对赤霉素一定的敏感性,但株高最终未恢复正常高度。因此,得出该突变体矮化表现稳定,与不育性状并存,且不受细胞核背景的影响;核不育基因对植株株高的矮化无剂量效应;突变体的矮化与雄穗长度、节间数和节间长度有关;突变体不完全属于赤霉素不敏感型,其矮化并不是单一缺乏赤霉素而引起。该研究结果为认识太空诱变玉米核不育突变体矮化的遗传和生理机制提供了参考。     

Mitochondrial gene expression and cytoplasmic male sterility in sorghum

Variation in sorghum mitochondrial translation products has enabled fertile (Kafir) cytoplasm to be distinguished from Milo cytoplasmic male sterile cytoplasm and from three alternative sources of cytoplasmic male sterile cytoplasm. Mitochondria from Milo cytoplasm synthesised a 65 000 mol. wt. polypeptide which was not synthesised by those from Kafir cytoplasm. In the cytoplasmic male sterile combination of Kafir nucleus in Milo cytoplasm synthesis of this polypeptide was dramatically increased. Mitochondria from two cytoplasmic male sterile lines (Kafir nucleus in IS1112 cytoplasm and Yellow Feterita nucleus in M35-1 cytoplasm) did not synthesise the 65 000 mol. wt. polypeptide but synthesised additional high molecular weight polypeptides (from 54 000 to 82 000 mol. wt.), the major one being 82 000. Mitochondria from cytoplasm IS1112 were also distinguished by synthesis of an additional 12 000 mol. wt. polypeptide. Mitochondria from the cytoplasmic male sterile line Martin nucleus in 9E cytoplasm synthesised an additional 42 000 mol. wt. polypeptide but did not synthesise a 38 000 mol. wt. polypeptide detected in all other cytoplasms. Immunoprecipitation of mitochondrial translation products with antiserum raised against subunit I of yeast cytochrome oxidase tentatively identified the 38 000 mol. wt. polypeptide as subunit I of sorghum cytochrome oxidase. The 42 000 mol. wt. polypeptide was also immuno-precipitated by this antiserum and thus is probably an altered form of cytochrome oxidase subunit I.Analysis of native mitochondrial DNA by agarose gel electrophoresis revealed the presence of two plasmid-like DNA species of molecular weight 5.3 and 5.7 kb in the cytoplasmic male sterile lines Kafir nucleus in cytoplasm IS1112 and Yellow Feterita nucleus in M35-1 cytoplasm. Thus there is a positive correlation between the synthesis of the 82 000 mol. wt. polypeptide and the presence of the additional DNA species.     

Natural variation of MS2 confers male fertility and drives hybrid breeding in soybean

A complete and genetically stable male sterile line with high outcrossing rate is a prerequisite for the development of commercial hybrid soybean. It was reported in the last century that the soybean male sterile ms2 mutant has the highest record with seed set. Here we report the cloning and characterization of the MS2 gene in soybean, which encodes a protein that is specifically expressed in the anther. MS2 functions in the tapetum and microspore by directly regulating genes involved in the biosynthesis of secondary metabolites and the lipid metabolism, which is essential for the formation of microspore cell wall. Through comparison of the field performance with the widely used male sterile mutants in the same genetic background, we demonstrated that the ms2 mutant conducts the best in outcrossing rate and makes it an ideal tool in building a cost-effective hybrid system for soybean.     

Towards male sterility in Pinus radiata--a stilbene synthase approach to genetically engineer nuclear male sterility

A male cone-specific promoter from Pinus radiata D. Don (radiata pine) was used to express a stilbene synthase gene (STS) in anthers of transgenic Nicotiana tabacum plants, resulting in complete male sterility in 70% of transformed plants. Three plants were 98%-99.9% male sterile, as evidenced by pollen germination. To identify the stage at which transgenic pollen first developed abnormally, tobacco anthers from six different developmental stages were assayed microscopically. Following the release of pollen grains from tetrads, transgenic pollen displayed an increasingly flake-like structure, which gradually rounded up during the maturation process. We further investigated whether STS expression may have resulted in an impaired flavonol or sporopollenin formation. A specific flavonol aglycone stain was used to demonstrate that significant amounts of these substances were produced only in late stages of normal pollen development, therefore excluding a diminished flavonol aglycone production as a reason for pollen ablation. A detailed analysis of the exine layer by transmission electron microscopy revealed minor structural changes in the exine layer of ablated pollen, and pyrolysis-gas chromatography-mass spectroscopy indicated that the biochemistry of sporopollenin production was unaffected. The promoter-STS construct may be useful for the ablation of pollen formation in coniferous gymnosperms and male sterility may potentially be viewed as a prerequisite for the commercial use of transgenic conifers.
