Characterization of ‘Sun II’ oat monosomics through C-banding and identification of eight new ‘Sun II’ monosomics

 Monosomics are a powerful tool for genetic mapping in allopolyploid plant species such as oat (Avena sativa L., 2n=6x=42). A C-banded karyotype of the oat cultivar Sun II was compared with previously described oat karyotypes and was used to identify the missing chromosome in each line of Sun II aneuploids. These included new aneuploids, isolated among derivatives of oat haploids obtained from Sun II oat×maize crosses, along with the original Sun II aneuploid set which had been obtained by cytological screening of a Sun II population for spontaneous aneuploids. Eight new Sun II monosomics were identified among the derivatives of haploids from the oat×maize crosses, to give a total of 18 unique Sun II monosomic/nullisomic lines. All seven C-genome chromosomes are represented by Sun II monosomics. Chromosomes 13, 14 and 17 are not represented by Sun II aneuploids but are found in the Kanota monosomic series. Therefore, monosomics of some form are now available for all 21 oat chromosomes. A reciprocal translocation involving chromosomes 3C and 14, found in a portion of the original set of Sun II monosomic lines, was also described. No new translocations were detected in the Sun II×maize crosses. Received: 11 December 1996 / Accepted: 15 July 1997     

Molecular genetic identification of Avena chromosomes related to the group 1 chromosomes of the Triticeae.

A collection of 19 wheat (Triticum aestivum) probes, detecting sequences in the seven homoeologous groups of chromosomes, were hybridized to DNA from the 'Kanota' series of oat monosomic lines (Avena byzantina) to investigate their use for identifying groups of homoeologous oat chromosomes. Three probes from homoeologous group 1 of wheat, psr161, psr162, and psr121, mapped among the set of oat chromosomes 1C, 14, and 17. One homoeologous group 6 probe, psr167, mapped to oat chromosomes 1C and 17. Two oat probes that had previously been shown to map to oat chromosomes 1C, 14, and 17 were then hybridized to DNA from the 'Chinese Spring' wheat ditelosomics. They localized to homoeologous group 1 wheat chromosomes, one to the short arm and one to the long arm. These results reveal that in hexaploid oat there is a group of three chromosomes that correspond at least in part to homoeologous group 1 of wheat. The remaining wheat probes identifying other wheat homoeologous sets did not detect a complete series of homoeologous chromosomes in oat. This was presumably due to the incomplete status of the 'Kanota' monosomic series, chromosomal rearrangement in Avena, weak hybridization signals owing to low probe-target sequence homology, and (or) detection of only two hybridization bands by the wheat probe.     

Assignment of RFLP linkage groups to chromosomes using monosomic F1 analysis in hexaploid oat

The availability of molecular genetic maps in oat (Avena spp.) and improved identification of chromosomes by C-banding are two recent developments that have made locating linkage groups to chromosomes possible in cultivated hexaploid oat, 2n=6x=42. Monosomic series derived from Avena byzantina C. Koch cv Kanota and from Avena sativa L. cv Sun II were used as maternal plants in crosses with the parents, Kanota-1 and Ogle-C, of the oat RFLP mapping population. Monosomic F₁ plants were identified by root-tip cell chromosome counts. For marker analysis, DNAs of eight F₂ plants from a monosomic F₁ were combined to provide a larger source of DNA that mimicked that of the monosomic F₁ plant. Absence of maternal alleles in monosomic F₁s served to associate linkage groups with individual chromosomes. Twenty two linkage groups were associated with 16 chromosomes. In seven instances, linkage groups that were independent of each other in recombination analyses were associated with the same chromosome. Five linkage groups were shown to be associated with translocation differences among oat lines. Additionally, the results better-characterized the oat monosomic series through the detection of duplicates and translocation differences among the various monosomic lines. The F₁ monosomic series represents a powerful cytogenetic tool with the potential to greatly improve understanding of the oat genome. Received: 24 April 2000 / Accepted: 10 May 2000     

A new chromosome nomenclature system for oat (Avena sativa L. and A. byzantina C. Koch) based on FISH analysis of monosomic lines

Fluorescent in situ hybridization (FISH) with multiple probes was used to analyze mitotic and meiotic chromosome spreads of Avena sativa cv ‘Sun II’ monosomic lines, and of A. byzantina cv ‘Kanota’ monosomic lines from spontaneous haploids. The probes used were A. strigosa pAs120a (a repetitive sequence abundant in A-genome chromatin), A. murphyi pAm1 (a repetitive sequence abundant in C-genome chromatin), A. strigosa pITS (internal transcribed spacer of rDNA) and the wheat rDNA probes pTa71 (nucleolus organizer region or NOR) and pTa794 (5S). Simultaneous and sequential FISH employing pairs of these probes allowed the identification and genome assignation of all chromosomes. FISH mapping using mitotic and meiotic metaphases facilitated the genomic and chromosomal identification of the monosome in each line. Of the 17 ‘Sun II’ lines analyzed, 13 distinct monosomic lines were found, corresponding to four monosomes of the A-genome, five of the C-genome and four of the D-genome. In addition, 12 distinct monosomic lines were detected among the 20 ‘Kanota’ lines examined, corresponding to six monosomes of the A-genome, three of the C-genome and three of the D-genome. The results show that 19 chromosomes out of 21 of the complement are represented by monosomes between the two genetic backgrounds. The identity of the remaining chromosomes can be deduced either from one intergenomic translocation detected on both ‘Sun II’ and ‘Kanota’ lines, or from the single reciprocal, intergenomic translocation detected among the ‘Sun II’ lines. These results permit a new system to be proposed for numbering the 21 chromosome pairs of the hexaploid oat complement. Accordingly, the A-genome contains chromosomes 8A, 11A, 13A, 15A, 16A, 17A and 19A; the C-genome contains chromosomes 1C, 2C, 3C, 4C, 5C, 6C and 7C; and the D-genome consists of chromosomes 9D, 10D, 12D, 14D, 18D, 20D and 21D. Moreover, the FISH patterns of 16 chromosomes in ‘Sun II’ and 15 in ‘Kanota’ suggest that these chromosomes could be involved in intergenomic translocations. By comparing the identities of individually translocated chromosomes in the two hexaploid species with those of other hexaploids, we detected different types of intergenomic translocations.     

Cytogenetic Analysis of Cotton Monosomics

Eleven monosomics in cotton that were obtained in the progenies of three disomic desynaptic plants were cytologically characterized. The transmission of the monosomes in progeny was shown in the 26 monosomic plants. In 23 plants the frequency of monosomics was ranged between 14.29 and 41.67 %. Three monosomics usually occurred in much lower frequencies (from 3.03 to 5.00 %). Various transmission rates indirectly pointed out different monosomes as a specific chromosomes of cotton genome. Three telochromosomes and one isochromosome were isolated from the progenies of the four monosomics. Using translocation test it was recovered that seven monosomes of different monosomics are homologous to one of the chromosomes of six translocation lines of our collection.     

DNA content of wheat monosomics at interphase estimated by flow cytometry

 Two complete, independently maintained sets of 21 monosomic wheat lines derived from cv. ‘Chinese Spring’ were analyzed for their DNA content at the G1 stage with flow cytometry. The DNA content of individual chromosomes was estimated by subtracting the value of a monosomic line from that of euploid wheat. Our data show that the estimated 2C DNA of individual wheat chromosomes in 21 monosomics at the G1 stage ranges from about 0.58 pg in chromosome 1D to approximately 1.12 pg in chromosome 3A. The A genome (2C=6.15 pg) seems to contain more DNA than the B (2C=6.09 pg) and D (2C=5.05 pg) genomes. Analysis of variance showed significant differences (α=0.01) in DNA content both among homoeologous groups and among genomes. Our estimates of interphase DNA content of wheat chromosomes from monosomic lines were poorly correlated to the chromosome sizes at metaphase (r=0.622, P≤0.01). This poor correlation might be due to differential coiling among chromosomes during cell division, possible bias of fluorochrome binding to heterochromatin, or heterogeneity among monosomic lines. Finally, flow cytometry may aid but cannot replace cytological checks in aneuploid maintenance. Received: 21 January 1997 / Accepted: 23 June 1997     

Identification of homoeologous chromosomes in hexaploid oat (A. byzantina cv Kanota) using monosomics and RFLP analysis

The use of RFLP markers, together with a partial set of monosomics available in Avena byzantina cv Kanota, has enabled us to identify putative homoeologous chromosome sets in hexaploid Avena species (2n = 6x = 42, AACCDD). We first identified probes producing distinct three-band patterns on Southern blots that possibly reflect orthologous loci of the three genomes present in the hexaploid. Using monosomic analysis, 51 different restriction fragments that hybridized to 26 probes were localized to 12 different chromosomes for which monosomic stocks were available. These DNA restriction fragments were localized to specific monosomics using image analysis to quantify band intensity relative to other bands in the same lane. From these data, we have tentatively identified two complete homoeologous sets of three chromosomes each and two partial sets of two of the three chromosomes. The results indicate that RFLP dosage analysis is useful in the characterization of homoeologous chromosomes in hexaploid oat where nullisomics for many of the chromosomes are not available.Mention of a trademark or proprietary product does not constitute a guarantee or warranty by the USDA-ARS or the University of Minnesota and does not imply approval over other products that also may be suitableJoint contribution of the Minnesota Agricultural Experiment Station and USDA-ARS.

The origin,identification, and cytogenetic behavior of tomato monosomics

The missing chromosomal elements were cytologically identified in a primary monosomic (haplo-11) and 18 tertiary monosomics (lacking interchanged chromosomes) induced by radiation in the tomato. For the tertiary monosomics all interchanges occurred in the centromeres, and, as with single arms deficiencies in the same materials, deficiencies are tolerated for only 15 of the 24 arms of the complement. Non-homologous pairing was frequently observed in the univalent pachytene chromosomes. The monosomic condition was not transmitted to any of the 11,981 progeny of ten tested monosomics. Reproductive fertility and gross morphology were also studied.This research was supported in part by a grant (GM 06209) from the National Institutes of Health, U.S. Public Health Service.     

Monosomics in common bean,Phaseolus vulgaris

Summary Two monosomics of Phaseolus vulgaris (2n = 22) were found among selfed progeny of plants treated with colchicine. The monosomic chromosomes involved were identified as chromosomes H and J according to the previously suggested Giemsa karyotype. Both monosomic plants had slower growth rate and smaller size as compared with their respective euploid sibs. However, no apparent morphological characteristics distinguished the two monosomics. The frequencies of transmission through selfing of monosomics H and J were 9% and 10 % respectively.     

Cytological and molecular characterization of oat x maize partial hybrids

In cereals, interspecific and intergeneric hybridizations (wide crosses) which yield karyotypically stable hybrid plants have been used as starting points to widen the genetic base of a crop and to construct stocks for genetic analysis. Also, uniparental genome elimination in karyotypically unstable hybrids has been utilized for cereal haploid production. We have crossed hexaploid oat (2n=6x=42, Avena sativa L.) and maize (2n=2x=20, Zea mays L.) and recovered 90 progenies through embryo rescue. Fifty-two plants (58%) produced from oatxmaize hybridization were oat haploids (2n=3x=21) following maize chromosome elimination. Twenty-eight plants (31%) were found to be stable partial hybrids with 1–4 maize chromosomes in addition to a haploid set of 21 oat chromosomes (2n=21+1 to 2n=21+4). Ten of the ninety plants produced were found to be apparent chromosomal chimeras, where some tissues in a given plant contained maize chromosomes while other tissues did not, or else different tissues contained a different number of maize chromosomes. DNA restriction fragment length polymorphisms (RFLPs) were used to identify the maize chromosome(s) present in the various oat-maize progenies. Maize chromosomes 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, and 9 were detected in partial hybrids and chromosomal chimeras. Maize chromosomes 1 and 10 were not detected in the plants analyzed to-date. Furthermore, partial self-fertility, which is common in oat haploids, was also observed in some oat-maize hybrids. Upon selfing, partial hybrids with one or two maize chromosomes showed nearly complete transmission of the maize chromosome to give self-fertile maize-chromosome-addition oat plants. Fertile lines were recovered that contained an added maize chromosome or chromosome pair representing six of the ten maize chromosomes. Four independently derived disomic maize chromosome addition lines contained chromosome 4, one line carried chromosome 7, two lines had chromosome 9, one had chromosome 2, and one had chromosome 3. One maize chromosome-8 monosomic addition line was also identified. We also identified a double disomic addition line containing both maize chromosomes 4 and 7. This constitutes the first report of the production of karyotypically stable partial hybrids involving highly unrelated species from two subfamilies of the Gramineae (Pooideae — oat, and Panicoideae — maize) and the subsequent recovery of fertile oat-maize chromosome addition lines. These represent novel material for gene/ marker mapping, maize chromosome manipulation, the study of maize gene expression in oat, and the transfer of maize DNA, genes, or active transposons to oat.Joint contribution of the Minnesota Agricultural Experiment Station and USDA-ARS.

Fluorescence in situ hybridization mapping of Avena sativa L. cv. SunII and its monosomic lines using cloned repetitive DNA sequences.

Fluorescent in situ hybridization (FISH) employing multiple probes was used with mitotic or meiotic chromosome spreads of Avena sativa L. cv. SunII and its monosomic lines to produce physical chromosome maps. The probes used were Avena strigosa pAs120a (which hybridizes exclusively to A-genome chromosomes), Avena murphyi pAm1 (which hybridizes exclusively to C-genome chromosomes), A. strigosa pAs121 (which hybridizes exclusively to A- and D-genome chromosomes), and the wheat rDNA probes pTa71 and pTa794. Simultaneous and sequential FISH employing two-by-two combinations of these probes allowed the unequivocal identification and genome assignation of all chromosomes. Ten pairs were found carrying intergenomic translocations: (i) between the A and C genomes (chromosome pair 5A); (ii) between the C and D genomes (pairs 1C, 2C, 4C, 10C, and 16C); and (iii) between the D and C genomes (pairs 9D, 11D, 13D, and 14D). The existence of a reciprocal intergenomic translocation (10C-14D) is also proposed. Comparing these results with those of other hexaploids, three intergenomic translocations (10C, 9D, and 14D) were found to be unique to A. sativa cv. SunII, supporting the view that 'SunII' is genetically distinct from other hexaploid Avena species and from cultivars of the A. sativa species. FISH mapping using meiotic and mitotic metaphases facilitated the genomic and chromosomal identification of the aneuploid chromosome in each monosomic line. Of the 18 analyzed, only 11 distinct monosomic lines were actually found, corresponding to 5 lines of the A genome, 2 lines of the C genome, and 4 lines of the D genome. The presence or absence of the 10C-14D interchange was also monitored in these lines.     

Genetic control of amylose content in wheat endosperm starch and differential effects of three Wx genes

The endosperm starch of the wheat grain is composed of amylose and amylopectin. Genetic manipulation of the ratio of amylose to amylopectin or the amylose content could bring about improved texture and quality of wheat flour. The chromosomal locations of genes affecting amylose content were investigated using a monosomic series of Chinese Spring (CS) and a set of Cheyenne (CNN) chromosome substitution lines in the CS genetic background. Trials over three seasons revealed that a decrease in amylose content occurred in monosomic 4A and an increase in monosomic 7B. Allelic variation between CS and CNN was suggested for the genes on chromosomes 4A and 7B. To examine the effects of three Waxy (Wx) genes which encode a granule-bound starch synthase (Wx protein), the Wx proteins from CS monosomics of interest were analyzed using SDS-PAGE. The amount of the Wx protein coded by the Wx-B1 gene on chromosome arm 4AL was reduced in monosomic 4A, and thus accounted for its decreased amylose content. The amounts of two other Wx proteins coded by the Wx-A1 and Wx-D1 genes on chromosome arms 7AS and 7DS, respectively, showed low levels of protein in the monosomics but no effect on amylose content. The effect of chromosome 7B on the level of amylose suggested the presence of a regulator gene which suppresses the activities of the Wx genes.     

The origin, identification, and plant morphology of five rice monosomics.

Five different monosomics of rice (Oryza sativa L.) were obtained by treatment of pollen with gamma irradiation, as a by-product of attempts to determine the cytological loci of certain marker genes, i.e., mature pollen carrying normal alleles at all loci was given gamma rays and used for pollinating strains that were homozygous for recessive marker genes. The monosomics showed distinguishable morphological features and had complete seed sterility. Cytological studies revealed that one monosomic was tertiary, the others primary. The tertiary monosomic was related to chromosome 10. Two primary monosomics for chromosomes 10 and 11 were identified. At metaphase I, the tertiary monosomic showed the chromosome configurations 1 III + 10 II, 11 II + 1 I, and 10 II + 3 I, and all primary ones showed the configuration 11 II + 1 I. All five monosomics showed very poor crossing ability and were not transmitted to the few progenies observed. A few trisomic plants were found in the progenies of a cross between monosomic and normal pollen in one monosomic. This is the first time that many monosomics in rice have been characterized. This information will be useful in studies of rice aneuploidy and cytogenetics. Key words : rice, monosomics, morphology, cytology, transmission, trisomics.     

Identification of the 21 monosomic lines in Avena byzantina C. Koch cv. ‘Kanota’

Summary All of the 21 possible monosomic lines have been screened and confirmed from 33 monosomic stocks of Avena byzantina C. Koch cv. Kanota. All of them, except Mono-21 which was a progeny of monosomic Cherokee (A. sativa) repeatedly backcrossed with Kanota, were obtained in the progenies of haploid (2n = 3x), aneuploid (2n = 6X±) and autotriploid (2n = 9X) partners of twins. Identification of the monosomics was carried out by means of the double monosomic method, monosomic analysis on marker genes, leaf peroxidase isozyme analysis, karyotype analysis and nullisomic analysis. The monosomic lines were numbered from Mono-1 through to Mono-21, mainly in the order of monosome length from the longest to the shortest. Most monosomic lines were hardly distinguishable by morphological characteristics from each other or from normal disomics. In the selfed progenies of four monosomic lines, Mono-8, -9, -17 and-19, segregation of nulli-, mono- and disomics was observed, but no nullisomics were found in the other lines. In most cases the frequency of monosomics ranging from 35.5 to 97.8% was, compared to those of nulli- and disomics, highest in the selfed progeny of monosomics. The monosomic lines were easily maintained and can be used for genetic analysis because of their good seed fertility and high monosome transmission rate. They have the near isogenic background of Kanota.     

Chromosomal Banding Analysis of Monosomics in Wheat

N-banding analysis has been used to identify the univalents of all 21 monosomics at diakinesis or metaphase Ⅰ. The univalents of nine wheat monosomics which are monosomic lB to 7B, 4A and 7A have shown distinctive N-banding patterns. These banding patterns appear to be identical in meiotic and mitotic chromosomes. The method is simple and speedy. The research probably provides a new way for cytological identification of monosomics in wheat and offers a technique for genome analysis of hybrids in wheat.     

Cyto-Chromosomal Analysis of Developing Wheat Monosomics

In order to achieve the aim of advanced breeding program with the definite direction, it is necessary for us to develop the monosomic lines used for the wheat breeding programs in China. We fixed the wheat ears at appropriate stage in Carnoy’s fluid, and stained with acetocarmine in every generation from the different crosses mentioned above. According to their karyotypes of metaphase 1, the monosomics, normal bodies, monotelosomics, ditelosomics and allotypic bivalents were identified (Plate Ⅰ, 1–8). In the process of developing monosomic lines “Beijing Red No.1”, some monosomic lines such as 5A’s and 4D’s, can be directly proved by their phenotypes, other lines of monosomic 1B, 5B add 6B can also be directly proved to be true by their typical chromosomal morphology. In order to check the accuracy of chromosomal orders of monosomic lines, we tested all 21 monosomic lines of “Beijing Red No.1” by means of telosomic testing. At the same time we tested the origirnal monosomics of “Chinese Spring” as a check. In the F1’s of test crosses, those showing 20 bivalents and one monoelemic (20”+t’) were proved to be right. Whereas those showing 19 bivalents, 1 univalent and 1 allotypic bivalent (19”+1’+1’t’) were proved to be wrong. The karyotypes of F1’s from the test crosses for “Beijing Red No.1” can be verified by compairing with that of the check. During some years, we have examined 500 F1 plants of test crosses for monosomic lines of “Beijing Red No.1”, and some what less plants for monosomic lines of “Chinese Spring”. The number of observed cells usually was 100–200, the least was 40 and the most was 600. As the result, all F1's of test crosses showed accurate karyotypes. Besides detemning the F1 karyotypes of test crosses, we also analysed and compared their phenotypes with each other (photograph 9–12). According to the pbenotypes caused by the chang in chromosome number, structure and gene dosage, not only we can check the accuracy of testing result, but also locate the genes controlling some characters on the chromosomes or chromosomal arms.     

Genomic in situ hybridization differentiates between A/D- and C-genome chromatin and detects intergenomic translocations in polyploid oat species (genus Avena).

The genomic in situ hybridization (GISH) technique was used to discriminate between chromosomes of the C genome and those of the A and A/D genomes in allopolyploid oat species (genus Avena). Total biotinylated DNA from A. strigosa (2n = 2x = 14, AsAs genome) was mixed with sheared, unlabelled total DNA from A. eriantha (2n = 2x = 14, CpCp) at a ratio of 1:200 (labelled to unlabelled). The resulting hybridization pattern consisted of 28 mostly labelled and 14 mostly unlabelled chromosomes in the hexaploids. Attempts to discriminate between chromosomes of the A and D genomes in A. sativa (2n = 6x = 42, AACCDD) were unsuccessful using GISH. At least eight intergenomic translocation segments were detected in A. sativa 'Ogle', several of which were not observed in A. byzantina 'Kanota' (2n = 6x = 42, AACCDD) or in A. sterilis CW 439-2 (2n = 6x = 42, AACCDD). At least five intergenomic translocation segments were observed in A. maroccana CI 8330 'Magna' (2n = 4x = 28, AACC). In both 'Ogle' and 'Magna', positions of most of these translocations matched with C-banding patterns.     

Production of near-isogenic lines and marked monosomic lines in common wheat (Triticum aestivum) cv. Chinese Spring.

Sixteen near-isogenic lines (NILs) carrying a marker gene were produced by the recurrent backcrossing method in the genetic background of common wheat (Triticum aestivum) cv. Chinese Spring (CS). Three genes from alien species showed segregation distortion. In NILs carrying a marker gene of rye (Secale cereale) or Aegilops caudata, the alien chromosome segments were detected by fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH). The NILs were grown with replications and the effect of marker genes on plant morphology in the genetic background of CS was investigated. These NILs were further crossed with the corresponding monosomics of CS and 13 monosomic lines whose monosome carries a respective marker gene were established and named "marked monosomics." Many of the marked monosomics were distinguishable from the disomic NILs because of the different dosage effect of the genes. The NILs are utilized for studies on gene isolation or gene regulation. Marked monosomics are useful not only for monosomic analysis but also for production of homologous chromosome substitution lines because chromosome observation is not required.     

Induction of small-segment-translocation between wheat and rye chromosomes

A new approach to produce wheat-rye translocation, based on the genetic instability caused by monosomic addition of rye chromosome in wheat, is described. 1 283 plants from the selfed progenies of monosomic addition lines with single chromosome of inbred rye line R12 and complete chromosome complement of wheat cultivar Mianyang 11 were cytologically analyzed on a plant-by-plant basis by the improved C-banding technique. 63 of the plants, with 2n = 42, were found containing wheat-rye translocation or substitution, with a frequency of 4. 91% . Compared with the wheat parent, other 32 plants with 2n = 42 exhibited obvious phenotypic variation, but their com-ponent of rye chromosome could not be detected using the C-banding technique. In situ hybridization with a biotin-la-beled DNA probe was used to detect rye chromatin and to determine the insertion sites of rye segments in the wheat chromosomes. In 20 out of the 32 variant wheat plants, small segments of rye chromosomes were found being inserted into dif
