Segregation of genotypes through homoeologous chromosome pairing in the apogamous species Dryopteris nipponensis was tested by electrophoretic analysis. Of 284 progeny examined (250 gametophytes and 34 sporophytes), from the parental
sporophyte with the Pgi-2 genotype abc, five showed different genotypes from that of the parent (three aac, one bbc and one bcc). This is the first evidence for genetic segregation in the progeny of apogamous fern species.

At an early stage of growth gametophytes support the sporophytes of ferns. Young sporophytes become independent of gametophytes
when the first leaves develop. Although large fern gametophytes produce multiple archegonia simultaneously, only one sporophyte
is typically established on one gametophyte. The number of sporophytes is believed to be controlled in two possible directions,
from gametophyte to sporophyte or from preceding sporophyte to another sporophyte. To investigate the effects of gametophytes
on their sporophytes, we studied the relationship between organic matter production by gametophytes and the growth of young
sporophytes of Thelypteris palustris. We cut gametophytes in half (CGs) to reduce the gametophytes’ production of matter. There was no significant difference
between the growth of sporophytes on intact gametophytes (IGs) and that on CGs. According to our estimates, based on the rate
of organic matter production, the large gametophyte was able to produce two or more sporophytes. The resources required for
CGs to make similar-sized sporophytes was twice that for IGs. In polyembryony each of the multiple sporophytes was similar
in size to the single sporophytes. Resource limitation does not seem to explain why fern gametophytes establish single sporophytes. 相似文献

植物性状是植物对环境变化响应和适应的综合反映。目前对苔藓植物个体水平功能性状的研究较为匮乏。以安徽大龙山国家森林公园分布的东亚小金发藓(Pogonatum inflexum)雌株为例,在其孢子体成熟期测定地上部分孢子体和配子体的形态特征及生物量,系统分析了植株性状变异特征、异速生长关系及协变(整合)格局。结果表明,东亚小金发藓配子体形态性状变异性高于孢子体,且二者生物量变异系数最大。孢子体高度是配子体的2倍,但其生物量仅占地上部分的23%。孢子体和配子体功能性状之间有一定相关性;形态性状(Y)与生物量(X)之间多为指数<1.0异速生长关系,而孢子体和配子体生物量之间为等速生长关系(指数为1.135±0.158)。孢子体生物量分配比例随个体增大而显著减小,体现出显著的负的个体大小依赖。主成分分析表明,东亚小金发藓孢子体和配子体主要个体性状具有不同的协变方向(即两个不同的性状群),其中孢子体生物量是两类性状群的关键结点。综合来看,东亚小金发藓个体性状间具有与维管植物相似的协变关系。 相似文献

Morphological characters from the gametophyte and sporophyte generations have been used in land plants to infer relationships and construct classifications, but sporophytes provide the vast majority of data for the systematics of vascular plants. In bryophytes both generations are well developed and characters from both are commonly used to classify these organisms. However, because morphological traits of gametophytes and sporophytes can have different genetic bases and experience different selective pressures, taxonomic emphasis on one generation or the other may yield incongruent classifications. The moss order Hookeriales has a controversial taxonomic history because previous classifications have focused almost exclusively on either gametophytes or sporophytes. The Hookeriales provide a model for comparing morphological evolution in gametophytes and sporophytes, and its impact on alternative classification systems. In this study we reconstruct relationships among mosses that are or have been included in the Hookeriales based on sequences from five gene regions, and reconstruct morphological evolution of six sporophyte and gametophyte traits that have been used to differentiate families and genera. We found that the Hookeriales, as currently circumscribed, are monophyletic and that both sporophyte and gametophyte characters are labile. We documented parallel changes and reversals in traits from both generations. This study addresses the general issue of morphological reversals to ancestral states, and resolves novel relationships in the Hookeriales. 相似文献

The gametophyte of Argyroschosma nivea was studied, mainly focusing in its morphological development, and in the apogamous production of sporophytes. Some observations
on the spores were also made. As far as it is known, this is the second species of the genus whose gametophytes are studied.
The germination pattern followed the Vittaria type. The subsequent developmental processes followed the Ceratopteris type. Some of the gametophytes reached an adult stage with a cordate, symmetric shape, but most of them developed as irregular,
lobed prothalli. The sporophyte emerged from the anterior part of the prothallus, without formation of gametangia. First,
a cell became active and originated a proliferating area of small cells. From this area, long glandular hairs were formed
followed by a projected conical cluster of cells. The cluster elongated into a sporophytic structure and its apex became progressively
spatulate and finally trilobulate, with marginal, glandular hairs, stomata and tracheids continuously produced. This sporophyte
secreted granules of white farina from its beginnings. The production of farina in the sporophyte but not in the gametophyte
could help to support the idea of the segregation of this species from its traditional location in Notholaena to Argyrochosma, as farinose gametophytes seem to be a synapomorphy of the notholenoids, group that includes Notholaena but not Argyroschoma. 相似文献

The production and survival of sporophyte morphologies that arose from selfings, parthenogenesis, male apogamy and reciprocal hybridizations of Costaria costata (C.A. Agardh) Saunders, Laminaria saccharina (L) Lamouroux, Alaria marginata Postels and Ruprecht, Eisenia arborea Areschoug, Lessoniopsis littoralis (Tilden) Reinke, Macrocystis integrifolia Bory, and Nereocystis leutkeana (Mertens) Postels and Ruprecht was tracked for 215 hybridization trials for 30 weeks. Each trial consisted of selfings for each species, solo cultures of males and females for each species and reciprocal crossings. At the end of 30 weeks, "sporophyte" survival in the 215 cases was 13% for selfings, 10% for parthenogenesis, 6% for apogamy, and 16% for the reciprocal hybridizations. The morphologies of sporophytes resulting from selfings were typical of the selfed species. Parthenosporophytes and reciprocal hybrids usually had the distinctive morphology of the female parent. Male, apogamously derived "sporophytes" often had reduced morphological features. For example, A. marginata male apogamous sporophytes often lacked a midrib. The sporophyte morphologies that arose in the reciprocal crossings are considered to be putative hybrids. Molecular evidence is required to establish their genetic origins. 相似文献

Parthenogenetic sporophytes were obtained from three strains of Laminaria japonica Areschoug. These sporophytes grew to maturity in the sea, producine spores that all grew into female gametophytes. These female gametophytes gave rise to another generation of parthenogenetic sporophytes during the next year, so that by the year 1990 parthenogenetic sporophytes had been cultivated for 12, 9, and 7 generations, respectively, for the three strains. When female gametophytes from parthenogenetic sporophytes were combined with normal male gametophytes, normal sporophytes that reproduced and gave rise to both female and male gametophytes were obtained. The parthenogenetic sporophytes were shorter and narrower than the normal sporophytes of the same strain. Chromosome counts on mature sporophytes showed that normal sporophytes (from fertilized eggs) were diploid (2n = approximately 40) and that the spores they produced were haploid (n = approximately 20), while nuclei from both somatic and sporangial cells in parthenogenetic sporophytes were haploid. All gametophytes were haploid. Young sporophytes derived from cultures with both female and male gametophytes were diploid, while young, sporophytes obtained from female gametophytes from parthenogenetic sporophytes had haploid, diploid, or polyploidy chromosome numbers. Polyploidy was associated with abnormal cell shapes. The presence of haploid parthenogenetic sporophytes should be use in breeding kelp strains with useful characteristics, since the sporophyte phenotype is expressed from a haploid genotype which can be more readily selected. 相似文献

Apogamous sporophytes were produced on Platycerium coronarium gametophytes cultured in the presence of indole-3-acetic acid (IAA). The percentage of apogamy as well as the total number of apogamous sporophytes produced per gametophyte clump were highest in the presence of 40 M IAA. When ethylene was allowed to accumulate in the culture vessel in the presence of an optimum level of IAA, the percentage and total number of apogamous sporophyte production decreased significantly. Using light microscope and confocal laser scanning microscope we have shown that nuclear size can be used as a quick parameter to estimate the ploidy level of P. coronarium.Abbreviations CLSM

Protoplasts of the marine coenocytic macrophyte Bryopsis plumosa (Hudson) C. Agardh. [Caulerpales] can easily be obtained by cutting gametophytes or sporophytes with sharp scissors. When a protoplast isolated from a gametophyte was fused with a protoplast isolated from a sporophyte of this alga, it germinated and developed into either one of two completely different forms. One plant form, named Type G, appeared quite similar to a gametophyte, and the other, named Type S, looked similar to a sporophyte. While the Type G plant contained many small nuclei of gametophyte origin together with a single giant nucleus of sporophyte origin, the Type S plant contained many large nuclei of uniform size. These large nuclei in the Type S plant had metamorphosed from the gametophytic nuclei, and were not formed through division of the giant nucleus of sporophyte origin. Fragments of the Type S plant, each having such a large nucleus, developed into creeping filaments that look very similar to sporophytes. While cell walls of gametophytes and Type G plants were stained by Congo-red, those of the thalli of regenerated Type S plants and sporophytes were not stained by the dye. This indicated that the large nuclei of the Type S plant did not express genes for xylan synthesis, which are characteristic of gametophytes. Two-dimensional gel electrophoretic analysis revealed that most of the proteins synthesized in the Type S plant were identical to those of sporophytes. These results strongly suggest that in the Type S plant, the gametophytic nuclei are transformed into sporophyte-like nuclei by an unknown factor(s) produced by the giant nucleus of sporophyte origin and that the transformed nuclei express the set of genes characteristic of sporophytes. Despite morphological similarity, however, the regenerated Type S plant could not produce zoospores, because its large nuclei did not divide normally. The transformed large nuclei of gametophyte origin still seemed to be in the haploid state.Abbreviations DAPI 4,6-Diamidino-2-phenylindole - DIC Differential interference contrast - IEF Isoelectric focusing - PES Provasolis enriched seawater 相似文献

The resurgence of haploids in higher plants 总被引:5,自引:0,他引:5
The life cycle of plants proceeds via alternating generations of sporophytes and gametophytes. The dominant and most obvious life form of higher plants is the free-living sporophyte. The sporophyte is the product of fertilization of male and female gametes and contains a set of chromosomes from each parent; its genomic constitution is 2n. Chromosome reduction at meiosis means cells of the gametophytes carry half the sporophytic complement of chromosomes (n). Plant haploid research began with the discovery that sporophytes can be produced in higher plants carrying the gametic chromosome number (n instead of 2n) and that their chromosome number can subsequently be doubled up by colchicine treatment. Recent technological innovations, greater understanding of underlying control mechanisms and an expansion of end-user applications has brought about a resurgence of interest in haploids in higher plants. 相似文献

The initiation of apogamous sporophytes in Cheilanthes castanea was recorded by daily photography of individual gametophytes. Whereas an ordinary embryo arises from a zygote, apogamous embryos of C. castanea originate from one to three initial cells which occur just behind the apical region of the prothallus. The initial (or initials) produce cells with small chloroplasts behind the sinus of the gametophyte. The appearance of cells with smaller chloroplasts than those normally found in gametophytes is the first indication that apogamy is occurring. The cells with small plastids produce a group of densely-cytoplasmic meristematic cells. The size of the meristematic mass increases until shoot and root apices of the apogamous embryo are organized. 相似文献

BACKGROUND AND AIMS: Actively growing post-embryonic sporophytes of desert mosses are restricted to the cooler, wetter months. However, most desert mosses have perennial gametophytes. It is hypothesized that these life history patterns are due in part to a reduced thermotolerance for sporophytes relative to gametophytes. METHODS: Gametophytes with attached embryonic sporophytes of Microbryum starckeanum were exposed whilst desiccated to thermal episodes of 35 degrees C (1 hr), 55 degrees C (1 hr), 75 degrees C (1 hr) and 75 degrees C (3 hr), then moistened and allowed to recover for 35 d in a growth chamber. KEY RESULTS: All of the gametophytes survived the thermal exposures and produced protonemata, with the majority also producing shoot buds. Symptoms of gametophytic stress (leaf burning and discoloration of entire shoots) were present in lower frequencies in the 55 degrees C exposure. Sporophyte resumption of growth and maturation to meiosis were significantly negatively affected by thermal treatment. Not a single sporophyte exposed to the two higher thermal treatments (75 degrees C for 1 h and 75 degrees C for 3 h) survived to meiosis, and those sporophytes exposed to 75 degrees C that survived to the post-embryonic phenophase took significantly longer to reach this phase. Furthermore, among the thermal treatments where some capsules reached maturity (35 degrees C and 55 degrees C), maternal shoots that produced a meiotic capsule took longer to regenerate through protonemata than maternal shoots aborting their sporophyte, suggestive of a resource trade-off between generations. CONCLUSIONS: Either (1) the inherent sporophyte thermotolerance is quite low even in this desert moss, and/or (2) a gametophytic thermal stress response controls sporophyte viability. 相似文献

Early gametophyte ontogeny was quantitatively distinct for Olympic Peninsula, Alaskan, and disjunct Idaho populations of the homosporous fern Blechnum spicant (L.) J. Sm. Although variable, gametophyte sex expression was shown to have a genetic component. Statistically different patterns of sex expression characterize each population. The Olympic Peninsula populations were distinct from each other but consistent in having a predominantly unisexual pattern. The disjunct Idaho population was predominantly bisexual at the time when comparable field collected gametophytes bear sporophytes. Preliminary experiments suggest that an antheridogen operates in this species. Increased sowing density favors maleness, and an extract from soil cultures of gametophytes shifts cultures to an exclusively male pattern after a dramatic suppression of growth. Mating experiments revealed that all populations are interfertile, although fertility was highest when the test Idaho population underwent intergametophytic-selfing. The Idaho population evidenced a low level of genetic load consistent with predictions based on its sex expression. Although Olympic Peninsula populations evidenced apparent high genetic load in some experiments, failure to produce abundant sporophytes in other experiments suggested that additional cultural factors operated to reduce sporophyte formation. Moderate density mating experiments produced single sporophytes that were comparable to field collections. Isolated gametophytes underwent polyembryony after a time delay and gametophyte proliferation. Cultural conditions which allow sporophyte formation on isolated gametophytes without this delay or proliferation must be sought before further genetic analysis is undertaken. 相似文献

Warming ocean temperatures have been linked to kelp forest declines worldwide, and elevated temperatures can act synergistically with other local stressors to exacerbate kelp loss. The bull kelp Nereocystis luetkeana is the primary canopy-forming kelp species in the Salish Sea, where it is declining in areas with elevated summer water temperatures and low nutrient concentrations. To determine the interactive effects of these two stressors on microscopic stages of N. luetkeana, we cultured gametophytes and microscopic sporophytes from seven different Salish Sea populations across seven different temperatures (10–22°C) and two nitrogen concentrations. The thermal tolerance of microscopic gametophytes and sporophytes was similar across populations, and high temperatures were more stressful than low nitrogen levels. Additional nitrogen did not improve gametophyte or sporophyte survival at high temperatures. Gametophyte densities were highest between 10 and 16°C and declined sharply at 18°C, and temperatures of 20 and 22°C were lethal. The window for successful sporophyte production was narrower, peaking at 10–14°C. Across all populations, the warmest temperature at which sporophytes were produced was 16 or 18°C, but sporophyte densities were 78% lower at 16°C and 95% lower at 18°C compared to cooler temperatures. In the field, bottom temperatures revealed that the thermal limits of gametophyte growth (18°C) and sporophyte production (16–18°C) were reached during the summer at multiple sites. Prolonged exposure of bull kelp gametophytes to temperatures of 16°C and above could limit reproduction, and therefore recruitment, of adult kelp sporophytes. 相似文献

Osmunda regalis sporophytes form haploid spores which develop into functionally hermaphroditic gametophytes. The self-fertilization of such gametophytes results in zygotes which are completely homozygous. Spore samples collected from sporophytes in natural populations were used to establish gametophyte cultures. The majority of these gametophytes were unable to form viable embryos when only self-fertilization was possible. Controlled selfing and crossing experiments revealed that the inability of these homozygous embryos to develop normally is attributable to the presence of recessive lethals. To account for this genetic load, an hypothesis is proposed integrating the morphology and ecology of the gametophyte generation with the polyploid genetic system of the sporophyte generation. 相似文献

A MULTISPECIES LABORATORY ASSESSMENT OF RAPID SPOROPHYTE RECRUITMENT FROM DELAYED KELP GAMETOPHYTES1
Laura T. Carney 《Journal of phycology》2011,47(2):244-251
Recent work suggests that the ability to delay reproduction as resistant haploid gametophytes may be important for seaweeds that experience unpredictable disturbances or seasonal periods of poor conditions that result in adult sporophyte absence. Further, delayed gametophytes of some kelp species (order Laminariales) may produce sporophytes more rapidly than if they had never experienced a delay, conferring a competitive advantage when conditions improve or after disturbance events. Here, it was determined that the gametophytes of the canopy‐forming kelp Macrocystis pyrifera (L.) C. Agardh could delay reproduction in a one‐ to two‐cell state (<50 μm) for at least 7 months when grown under nutrient‐limiting conditions. These stages retained reproductive viability and produced sporophytes within 5 d once nutrients were increased. This finding suggests that gametophytes could potentially promote recovery of M. pyrifera populations after extended periods of sporophyte absence. In addition, the time required for sporophyte production between gametophytes of the four most conspicuous kelp species in Southern California that had delayed reproduction and gametophytes that had not was compared. For these four kelp species, a delay of at least 30 d conferred a 40%–76% reduction in the time required for sporophyte production once nutrients were received. Fecundity did not decrease with delay duration, suggesting there is no apparent cost of delayed development for kelps as has been observed in other organisms. Thus, delayed development may be a viable strategy for surviving and initially dominating in environments with variable quality. 相似文献

BACKGROUND AND AIMS: Active growth in post-embryonic sporophytes of desert mosses is restricted to the cooler, wetter months. However, most desert mosses have perennial gametophytes. It is hypothesized that these life history patterns are due, in part, to a reduced desiccation tolerance for sporophytes relative to gametophytes. METHODS: Gametophytes with attached post-embryonic sporophytes of Tortula inermis (early seta elongation phenophase) were exposed to two levels of desiccation stress, one rapid-dry cycle and two rapid-dry cycles, then moistened and allowed to recover, resume development, and/or regenerate for 35 d in a growth chamber. KEY RESULTS: Gametophytes tolerated the desiccation treatments well, with 93 % survival through regenerated shoot buds and/or protonemata. At the high stress treatment, a significantly higher frequency of burned leaves and browned shoots occurred. Sporophytes were far more sensitive to desiccation stress, with only 23 % surviving after the low desiccation stress treatment, and 3 % surviving after the high desiccation stress treatment. While the timing of protonemal production and sporophytic phenophases was relatively unaffected by desiccation stress, shoots exposed to one rapid-dry cycle produced shoots more rapidly than shoots exposed to two rapid-dry cycles. CONCLUSIONS: It is concluded that sporophytes of Tortula inermis are more sensitive to rapid drying than are maternal gametophytes, and that sporophyte abortion in response to desiccation results from either reduced desiccation tolerance of sporophytes relative to gametophytes, or from a termination of the sporophyte on the part of the gametophyte in response to stress. 相似文献

Silver fern (Pityrogramma calomelanos L.) is a terrestrial or lithophytic herbaceous fern used for ornamental and medicinal purposes. In its farina it produces the cytotoxic and anticancer compound dihydrochalcone. In vitro induction of apospory and apogamy, and direct field establishment of aposporous gametophytes and subsequent sporophyte development has been accomplished. Half-strength Murashige and Skoog (MS) medium with 3.33 μM N6-benzyladenine (BA) and 2.32 μM kinetin (Kn) showed earlier development and produced higher numbers of aposporous gametophytes than half-strength MS basal medium. Crozier explants developed higher numbers (mean value 29.2) of gametophytes, but were slower than frond explants (mean value 23.2). The gametophytes originated from the epidermal hairs progressed from uniseriate filamentous to cordate through bi-, tri- and multiseriate and spatulate stage with the development of antheridia. Reduction in the nutrient and sucrose concentrations in the media favoured apogamy. Sucrose-free 1/10 strength MS medium and agar plates developed a mean of 30.4 and 29.9 sporophytes, respectively in the light. The greenhouse-established gametophytes developed sporophytes. The established sporophytes ex vitro showed 95% survival rate. Apogamous sporophytes and the source plant showed the same chromosome numbers (2n=116). The established protocol accomplishes apogamy and apospory in silver fern, and the aposporous gametophytes can be used for genetic transformation and development of transgenic silver fern. 相似文献

The diploid sporophyte of the phycomycetous fungus Allomyces arbuscula bears two types of sporangia: thin-walled, colorless, ephemeral zoosporangia (ZS) and thick-walled, dark-brown, resistant sporangia (RS). Normal wild-type cultures (strain Portugal IE) under standard conditions produce approximately 90% of their total sporangia as RS. These RS give the cultures a dark-brown color. A mutant was induced with UV irradiation in which the ratio of ZS to RS was shifted so that only 20% of the total sporangia are RS. These cultures are a pale, tan color. Hybrids between the mutants and wild-types produce ca. 65% RS and are also intermediate in the color of the culture. Meiotic segregation in the RS of the hybrid sporophytes gives gametophytes half of which when selfed produce mutant sporophytes and half of which produce wild-type sporophytes. The shift from RS to ZS formation is thus considered to be the result of a one-gene mutation at a locus ‘R.’ The haploid gametophytes of wild-type strains have in addition to male and female gametangia a small number (2-4%) of RS. In mutant gametophytes the percent RS has dropped to 0.1-0.2%. The proposed genotypes at the ‘R’ locus in Allomyces arbuscula are: wild-type sporophytes (RR), hybrid sporophytes (Rr), mutant sporophytes (rr), wild-type gametophytes (R) and mutant gametophytes (r). 相似文献

This work showed for the first time the relationship between the effect of exogenous auxins and gibberellins on apogamy in
Dryopteris affinis (Lowe) Fraser-Jenkins sp. affinis and its endogenous contents during early apogamic events. The addition of NAA (0.53 and 5.37 μM) or GA3 2.8 μM to an MS solid medium significantly increased apogamous sporophyte formation. BA induced brown callus that regenerated
sporophytes in a hormone-free medium. The endogenous contents of GA1, GA3, GA4, GA7, GA9 and IAA were determined by GC–MS in gametophytes cultured on MS solid medium, before and during early stages of apogamous
embryo development. The accumulation of both GA9 and IAA before embryo development was evident as high levels of GA4 in the earliest analysed stage of embryo development and high levels of GA3 in elongating shoots were found. The role of gibberellins on apogamy was also supported by data showing a decrease in the
percentage of gametophytes developing embryos because of the addition of flurprimidol to the culture medium. 相似文献
