空间环境诱发玉米细胞质雄性不育突变体的遗传分析

从返回式卫星"实践八号"搭载的08-641和18-599两份玉米自交系后代选育出3份雄性不育突变体,在不同地点、不同年份、不同季节进行种植观察,鉴定其育性表现,通过测交、反交及回交对不育性状的遗传特性进行分析。结果表明:3份不育突变材料均能稳定遗传,属可遗传的细胞质雄性不育类型。恢保关系测定和特异引物PCR扩增结果显示,3份不育材料均属玉米C型细胞质雄性不育类型,但3份不育材料在恢保关系上存在一定差异,推测它们可能分别属于玉米C型细胞质雄性不育的不同亚组。这些不育材料的发现,丰富了雄性不育胞质的遗传基础,在玉米不育化制种中具有一定应用价值。

Comparison of restriction endonucleases and sources of probes for their efficiency in detecting restriction fragment length polymorphisms in lettuce (Lactuca sativa L.)

Summary Five accessions of members of the C group of male sterile maize cytoplasms (BB, C, ES, PR, and RB) in two nuclear backgrounds (A619 and A632) were examined to elucidate the nature of mitochondrial genome diversity within a related group of cytoplasms. Cosmid and plasmid clones carrying single copy and recombinationally active sequences from N and S cytoplasms of maize were used as probes. Although restriction patterns are quite similar, each of the five could be discriminated by evidence of sequence duplication and recombination, deletion of recombinationally active sequences of N, normal cytoplasm, population of mini-circular DNAs, and by restriction patterns. Each member of the group carried a 1,913 bp minicircular mtDNA, while all entries but RB carried a 1,445 bp minicircular mtDNA. Members of the C group clearly are not molecularly identical; evolution of the group included principal genome reorganization involving sequence duplication/deletion events, apparently independent of the cms trait.Cooperative Investigations of Agricultural Research Service, U.S. Department of Agriculture, and Institute of Food and Agricultural Sciences, University of FloridaMention of trademark, proprietary product, or vendor does not constitute a guarantee of the product by the U.S. Department of Agriculture and does not imply its approval to the exclusion of other products or vendors that may also be suitable     

Efficiency of one- and two-stage selection indexes for improvement of net economic merit in White Leghorns

Summary Mitochondrial (mt) and chloroplast (ct) DNAs from sugar beet lines carrying normal and introduced sources of male sterile cytoplasms have been characterized and compared on the basis of restriction enzyme analysis. Normal cytoplasm was shown to contain mt and ctDNAs which differed from those of the male sterile cytoplasms examined in the present investigation. On the other hand, four groups of male sterile cytoplasms could be differentiated by their own characteristic mtDNA digest patterns, while two were separated by ctDNA comparisons. In addition, a greater degree of variability of the mitochondrial genome is suggested. Our results also imply strict maternal inheritance of mt and ctDNAs. Thus, the organelle DNA assay provides a positive and alternative means of identifying various male sterile cytoplasms.     

DNA polymorphism in Allium cepa cytoplasms and its implications concerning the origin of onions

Summary Mitochondrial and chloroplast DNA was isolated from fertile and cytoplasmic male sterile cultivars of cultivated onions. Restriction fragment length polymorphism led to the distinction between cytoplasms S and M. Mitochondrial DNA patterns from S cytoplasms appeared dentical and characterized mostly male sterile lines. An open-pollinated variety was found to bear this cytoplasm and thought to be the origin of S types. Mitochondrial DNA patterns from M cytoplasms were subdivided into four types, M₁ and M₂ corresponding to normal N cytoplasm, M₃ and M₄ probably corresponding to T cytoplasms. S and M cytoplasms were also distinguished by chloroplast DNA restriction patterns. Our results confirm previous genetic distinction between S, N and T cytoplasms.     

Classification of Normal and Male-Sterile Cytoplasms in Maize. II. Electrophoretic Analysis of DNA Species in Mitochondria

Mitochondrial DNA preparations were made from 31 maize lines carrying different sources of cytoplasm in the same nuclear genetic background. The DNAs were analyzed by agarose gel electrophoresis. A number of discrete low molecular weight bands were present in all lines. However, only four different DNA banding patterns were observed. These were correlated with the N, T, S and C cytoplasms defined by nuclear fertility restorer genes. Of the 31 cytoplasmic sources examined, six possessed DNA species characteristic of N cytoplasms, four possessed DNA species characteristic of T cytoplasm, 19 possessed DNA species characteristic of S cytoplasm and two possessed DNA species characteristic of C cytoplasm. This classification is in complete agreement with that based on mitochondrial translation products reported in the accompanying paper. No within-group heterogeneity was observed in the DNA banding patterns, indicating a lack of cytoplasmic variation within the four cytoplasmic groups. Attributes of the various methods available for classifying maize cytoplasms are compared and discussed.     

Molecular analysis of mitochondria from a fertility restorer line of maize

Summary Inbred line Ky21 carries nuclear genes which restore fertility to all three cytoplasmic male sterile (cms) types of maize: T, C and S. By substituting the Ky21 cytoplasm into a nuclear background lacking all of the nuclear restorer genes, we have demonstrated that Ky21 contains a fertile (normal) cytoplasm. Gel electrophoresis of mitochondrial DNA from Ky21 demonstrated an approximately 2.1 kb plasmid and no evidence for a 2.35 kb plasmid found in many normal cytoplasms of North American lines of maize. A 2.1 kb plasmid had been reported to be diagnostic for the T-type cms. However, the restriction endonuclease digestion pattern of Ky21 mtDNA more closely resembled that of normal lines than T-cms. Furthermore, mitochondria of Ky21 plants did not synthesize a 13 kilodalton polypeptide, which has only been found to be synthesized by T-type mitochondria. From these molecular criteria, as well as from the genetic analysis, we conclude that the mitochondria of the Ky21 universal restorer line are normal. In having a shorter form of a linear mtDNA plasmid, Ky21 resembles cytoplasms found in Mexican races of maize.     

Terminal protein association and sequence homology in linear mitochondrial plasmid-like DNAs of sorghum and maize

The linear extrachromosomal mitochondrial plasmid-like DNAs from the Ru cytoplasm of maize, and M35-1 and IS1112C cytoplasms of sorghum, possess 5 terminally-attached proteins. These molecules required proteinase K treatment for mobility in agarose gels and were susceptible to exonuclease III but not lambda exonuclease cleavage. Hybridizations, under stringent conditions, indicated that the sorghum plasmid-like DNAs, N1 and N2, did not possess DNA sequence homology to cloned central regions of S1 and S2, the linear mitochondrial plasmid-like DNAs present in S cytoplasm of maize. In addition, a novel 4.2kb, DNAase sensitive, RNAase insensitive band, exhibiting homology to internal sequences from maize S2, was observed in the sorghum IS1112C cytoplasm only.     

Molecular characterization of a new type of cytoplasmic male sterile sugar beet

A line (named Cl) of cytoplasmic sterility of sugar beet whose cytoplasm derived from Betacicla Turkey was obtained by interspecific hybrid. Its cytoplasm and a spontaneous male sterile cytoplasm from wild beet Beta maritima (named M) were compared with that of Owen's sterile line (S-cms) and a common maintainer of them named N was used as control. RFLP and RAPD methods were mainly used in our experiments. The restriction fragment patterns of mtDNAs were found to be likely but for a few of specific low-lighted electrophoresis bands in Cl. The results of Southern hybridization of six heterogeneous mitochondrial genes as probes to digests of mtDNAs by six restriction enzymes showed to be analogous between S and M lines. But the Cl mtDNA was sorted out by hybridization of atpA probe. Difference of low-molecular-weight mitochondrial DNAs was found among the three sterile lines. Three RNA molecules weighing about 4.2kb stably existed in Cl mitochondria. Our results of RAPD also supported that the Cl cytoplas     

Organization of mitochondrial DNA in normal and texas male sterile cytoplasms of maize

Recombinant DNA and hybridization techniques have been used to compare the organization of mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) from normal (N) and Texas male sterile (T) cytoplasms of maize. Bam H1 restriction fragments of normal mtDNA were cloned and used in molecular hybridizations against Southern blots of Bam H1 digested N and T mtDNA. Fifteen of the 35 fragments were conserved in both N and T as indicated by hybridization to comigrating bands in their restriction patterns. Only three fragments produced autoradiographs whose differences could reasonably be attributed to single changes in the cleavage site of the enzyme while approximately half (17/35) of the clones resulted in more complicated differences between N and T. The autoradiographs produced by these 17 clones indicated multiple cleavage site changes and/or sequence rearrangements of the mtDNA. Patterns of six of these 17 clones indicated partial duplication of the sequence and two showed variation in the intensity of hybridization between N and T, which may be related to the molecular heterogeneity phenomenon found in maize mitochondrial genomes. The large proportion of changes observed between N and T mtDNA indicates that rearrangements may have played an important role in the evolution of the maize mitochondrial genome.     

Heterogeneity of Maize Cytoplasmic Genomes among Male-Sterile Cytoplasms

Maize mitochondrial and chloroplast DNA's were prepared from normal (fertile) lines or single crosses and from members of the T, C, and S groups of male-sterile cytoplasms. Restriction endonucleases HindIII, BamI, EcoRI, and SalI were used to restrict the DNA, and the resultant fragments were electrophoresed in agarose gels. The results show that the N (fertile), T, C, and S cytoplasms each contained distinct mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA). These distinctive patterns were unaffected by nuclear genotype. No evidence of paternal inheritance of mtDNA was observed. Chloroplast DNA (ctDNA) from the N, C, and T cytoplasms was indistinguishable by HindIII, SalI, or EcoRI endonuclease digestion. The S cytoplasm ctDNA, however, was slightly different from that of other cytoplasms, as indicated by a slight displacement of one band in HindIII digests. The molecular weight of maize ctDNA was estimated to be as high as 88 x 10⁶. Estimates of the minimum molecular weight of maize mtDNA ranged from 116–131 x 10⁶, but the patterns were to complex for an unambiguous determination. Based on HindIII data, a comparison of the molecular weight of mtDNA bands common to the N, T. C, and S cytoplasms suggests that C cytoplasm most closely resembles N cytoplasm. The T and S sources are more divergent from the C and N cytoplasms. These results indicate a possible gradation of relatedness among male-sterile cytoplasms. The marked variation in mtDNA, with apparently less variation in ctDNA, represents circumstantial, but compelling, evidence that mtDNA may be involved in the male sterility and disease susceptibility traits in maize.     

Cloning of mtDNA fragments homologous to mitochondrial S2 plasmid-like DNA in maize

Summary Mitochondria from S-type cytoplasmic male-sterile maize contain two small DNA species, S1 and S2, which are absent from other fertile and male-sterile cytoplasms. These species have been cloned in plasmid pBR322 by the homopolymer extension method. Probes made with these recombinant plasmids have been used to establish the homology between high molecular weight mitochondrial DNAs of fertile and male-sterile cytoplasms, and small mitochondrial plasmid-like molecules. Hybridization and mapping data show that S2 DNA copies are homologuous with sequences of the normal mitochondrial genome. A comparison of physical maps of different isolated mtDNA fragments indicates a heterogeneous arrangement of S2 sequences in the mtDNA population of normal fertile maize cytoplasm. The origin of this heterogeneity is discussed.
