黄褐棉45S rDNA的FISH定位及核型分析

黄褐棉是棉属5个四倍体棉种之一,利用荧光原位杂交技术将45S rDNA定位在黄褐棉2、4、9号染色体,2号染色体上的45S rDNA特别大,信号位于随体并覆盖了染色体的短臂,比二倍体和四倍体棉种的45SrDNA都要大得多;另外的2对信号很小,形状与陆地棉中的弱信号类似。黄褐棉的核型公式为：2n=4x=52=50m（2SAT）＋2sm,属于2B类型,第2对染色体为亚中着丝粒染色体,其余都为中部着丝粒染色体。黄褐棉的核型、随体数、45S rDNA与其他四倍体棉种区别很大,黄褐棉是一个非常特殊的四倍体棉种。     

Cytogenetic features of rRNA genes across land plants: analysis of the Plant rDNA database

The online resource http://www.plantrdnadatabase.com/ stores information on the number, chromosomal locations and structure of the 5S and 18S‐5.8S‐26S (35S) ribosomal DNAs (rDNA) in plants. This resource was exploited to study relationships between rDNA locus number, distribution, the occurrence of linked (L‐type) and separated (S‐type) 5S and 35S rDNA units, chromosome number, genome size and ploidy level. The analyses presented summarise current knowledge on rDNA locus numbers and distribution in plants. We analysed 2949 karyotypes, from 1791 species and 86 plant families, and performed ancestral character state reconstructions. The ancestral karyotype (2n = 16) has two terminal 35S sites and two interstitial 5S sites, while the median (2n = 24) presents four terminal 35S sites and three interstitial 5S sites. Whilst 86.57% of karyotypes show S‐type organisation (ancestral condition), the L‐type arrangement has arisen independently several times during plant evolution. A non‐terminal position of 35S rDNA was found in about 25% of single‐locus karyotypes, suggesting that terminal locations are not essential for functionality and expression. Single‐locus karyotypes are very common, even in polyploids. In this regard, polyploidy is followed by subsequent locus loss. This results in a decrease in locus number per monoploid genome, forming part of the diploidisation process returning polyploids to a diploid‐like state over time.     

植物45S rDNA的染色体位置的CPD染色和FISH分析

采用PI和DAPI组合(CPD)染色结合45SrDNA探针的荧光原位杂交(FISH)对分属6个科的16种植物的45S rDNA的染色体位置进行了分析。在所有供试植物中,共检测到53个45S rDNA位点。大多数45S rDNA位点分布在染色体的短臂;位于染色体臂内和染色体末端的位点的比例大体相当;多数位于染色体臂内的45S rDNA位点有次缢痕形成,但rDNA重复单位簇所处的位置存在差异。根据45S rDNA所处的染色体臂的不同、距着丝粒远近的差异、形成次缢痕与否以及rDNA重复单位簇相对于次缢痕的位置等特征,将植物的45S rDNA位点划分为12种染色体分布类型。基于我们的结果和其他的报道对45S rDNA位点、核仁组织区(NOR)、次缢痕和随体相互之间的关系进行了分析。     

中国17种蔷薇属植物45S和5S的rDNA分布研究

为了探寻蔷薇属植物亲缘关系及系统发育研究的分子细胞遗传学证据,该研究采用双色FISH(荧光原位杂交)技术,对原产中国7个组的17种蔷薇属植物的45S和5S rDNA进行了定位分析。结果表明:(1)多数蔷薇属植物1组染色体对应1个45S rDNA位点和1个或2个5S rDNA位点,偶尔出现1~2个rDNA位点的丢失,但复伞房蔷薇(Rosa brunonii)的1组染色体对应了2个45S rDNA位点。(2)二倍体的蔷薇属植物至少有1对5S rDNA位点与45S rDNA位点共定位,而四倍体材料的5S rDNA位点与45S rDNA位点没有共定位,但所有四倍体材料均至少有1种rDNA信号纯合,表明它们应为二倍体直接加倍产生的同源四倍体。(3)绝大多数材料45S rDNA位于染色体短臂、5S rDNA位于染色体长臂,但缫丝花(R. roxburghii f. roxburghii)有1个5S rDNA信号位于染色体的短臂上,表明它与蔷薇属其他种的亲缘关系较远。(4)阿克苏地区和伊犁地区的疏花蔷薇的核型不同,且45S和5S rDNA的数量和位置不同,分子细胞遗传学证据也支持阿克苏地区的疏花蔷薇应为疏花蔷薇的新变种。(5)该研究中共有8个二倍体和6个四倍体蔷薇属植物的双色FISH为首次报道。研究认为,无论二倍体还是四倍体蔷薇属植物中出现的异形同源染色体、rDNA信号位置在同源染色体上的差异以及rDNA信号的增加和丢失,可能都与染色体结构变异和染色体重组有关,在分子细胞遗传学水平上证明染色体结构变异和染色体重组在蔷薇属植物演化过程中具有重要的作用。

中间偃麦草(Thinopyrum intermedium)18S-5.8S-26S rDNA位点在染色体上的分布及对其核ITS序列异质性的分析

中间偃麦草(Thinopyrum intermedium(Host)Barkworth et Dewey)是禾本科小麦族植物中的一个异源六倍体物种,是重要的牧草植物,在小麦的抗病育种中发挥了重要作用.利用荧光原位杂交(FISH)技术,在体细胞中期染色体上,对18S-5.8S-26S rDNA位点进行了物理定位,发现该物种有3～4对染色体携带18S-5.8S-26S rDNA主位点.结合基因组原位杂交(GISH)分析,证明中间偃麦草的St基因组中有一对同源染色体短臂末端携带一个主位点,其余2～3对主位点位于E基因组染色体上.对不同来源的材料研究表明:18S-5.8S-26S rDNA位点的数目(包括主位点和小位点)、位置、拷贝数在不同收集材料之间的差异较大,甚至在同一个体的不同细胞中也存在差异.讨论了rDNA物理作图数据在分析系统发育问题中的局限性.结合中间偃麦草的三个可能的二倍体基因组供体(Th.bessarabicum、Th.elongatum和Pseudoroegneria stipifolia)rDNA位点分析的结果,对中间偃麦草进化过程中rDNA位点的变化进行了分析,同时,对其中一份材料的核ITS序列进行了克隆、测序和系统发育分析,发现在中间偃麦草中,ITS序列具有很高的异质性.     

Conserved 5S and variable 45S rDNA chromosomal localisation revealed by FISH in <Emphasis Type="Italic">Astyanax scabripinnis</Emphasis> (Pisces,Characidae)

Fluorescence in situhybridisation (FISH) and double FISH experiments were carried out to ascertain the chromosomal distribution pattern of the 45S and 5S ribosomal (r) DNAs in four populations of the characid fish Astyanax scabripinnis – a group considered to be a species complex for its wide karyotypical and morphological diversity. The results regarding the 45S rDNA agreed with this hypothesis, since these sites showed intra- and inter-populational, numerical and positional variations. However, the data obtained with the 5S rDNA probe revealed a highly conserved chromosomal distribution pattern of these sequences among individuals of each population, as well as among the populations analysed. We consider this contrasting situation as a functional divergence between 45S and 5S ribosomal DNAs, which may reflect the localisation of these sequences in distinct nuclear compartments, leading them to undergo differentiated evolutionary processes.     

Physical mapping of the 5S ribosomal RNA genes on rice chromosome 11

One 5S ribosomal RNA gene (5S rDNA) locus was localized on chromosome 11 of japonica rice by in situ hybridization. The biotinylated DNA probe used was prepared by direct cloning and direct labeling methods, and the locus was localized to the proximal region of the short arm of chromosome 11 (llpl.l) by imaging methods. The distance between the signal site and the centromere is 4.0 arbitrary units, where the total length of the short arm is 43.3 units. The 5S rDNA locus physically identified and mapped in rice was designated as 5SRrn. The position of the 5S rDNA locus reported here differs from that in indica rice; possible reasons for this difference are discussed. DNA sequences of 5S rDNA are also reported.     

Cytogenetic analysis in Polypterus ornatipinnis (Actinopterygii, Cladistia, Polypteridae) and 5S rDNA

Polypteridae is a family of archaic freshwater African fish that constitute an interesting subject for the study of the karyological evolution in vertebrates, on account of their primitive morphological characters and peculiar relationships with lower Osteichthyans. In this paper, a cytogenetic analysis on twenty specimens of both sexes of Polypterus ornatipinnis the ornate "bichir", coming from the Congo River basin, was performed by using both classical and molecular techniques. The karyotypic formula (2n=36; FN=72) was composed of 26 M+10 SM. The Alu I banding, performed to characterize heterochromatin in this species, was mainly centromeric. Both the chromosome location of the ribosomal 5S and 18S rRNA genes were examined by using Ag-NOR, classical C-banding, CMA(3) staining and FISH. CMA(3) marked all centromerical regions and showed the presence of two GC rich regions on the p arm of the chromosome pair n°1 and on the q arm of the pair n°14. Staining with Ag-NOR marked the only telomeric region of the chromosome n°1 p arm. After PCR, the 5S rDNA in this species was cloned, sequenced and analyzed. In the 665bp 5S rDNA sequence of P.ornatipinnis, a conserved 120bp gene region for the 5S rDNA was identified, followed by a non-transcribed variable spacer (NTS) which included simple repeats, microsatellites and a fragment of a non-LTR retrotransposon R-TEX. FISH with 5S rDNA marked the subtelomeric region of the q arm of the chromosome pair n°14, previously marked by CMA(3). FISH with 18S rDNA marked the telomeric region of the p arm of the pair n°1, previously marked both by Ag-NOR and CMA(3). The (GATA)(7) repeats marked the telomeric regions of all chromosome pairs, with the exclusion of the n°1, n°3 and n°14; hybridization with telomeric probes (TTAGGG)(n) showed signals at the end of all chromosomes. Karyotype evolution in Polypterus genus was finally discussed, including the new data obtained.     

Chromosomal location and reorganization of the 45S and 5S rDNA in theBrachyscome lineariloba complex (Asteraceae)

The chromosomal locations of the 45S (18S-5.8S-26S) and 5S ribosomal DNA in theBrachyscome lineariloba complex and two related species have been determined by the use of multicolor fluorescencein situ hybridization (McFISH). TheBrachyscome lineariloba complex includes five cytodemes with 2n=4, 8, 10, 12 and 16. Each of the 5S and 45S rDNA loci occurs at two sites on chromosomes in cytodemes with 2n=4. While in cytodemes with 2n=8, 10, 12 and 16, the number of 5S rDNA sites increases from four to eight paralleled to the genomic addition of diploid (4 chromosomes) or haploid (2 chromosomes) dosage. Of the 5S rDNA sites, only one pair is major, except for the cytodeme with 2n=10. The remaining 5S rDNA sites are minor and seem to have reduced the unit number of the 5S rDNA during the successive genomic additions. The 45S rDNA site is detected only at two nucleolar organizing regions in all cytodemes regardless of successive genomic addition. The loss or diminution of 45S rDNA sequences seem to have proceeded more rapidly than 5S rDNA sequences in theB. lineariloba complex.     

Physical mapping of rDNA sequences in four karyotypes of Ranunculus silerifolius (Ranunculaceae)

The chromosomal locations of the 18S-5.8S-26S rDNA and 5S rDNA sequences were examined in four cytotypes of Ranunculus silerifolius (the Matsuyama, Mugi, Otaru, and Karatsu types) using fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH). Using the 18S-5.8S-26S rDNA probe, one pair of probe hybridization sites was detected by FISH in the interstitial region corresponding to the secondary constriction on the short arm of a satellite chromosome (chromosome pair 6) in all four karyotypes. FISH using 5S rDNA identified one pair of sites. The 5S rDNA locus was on different chromosomes in the four karyotypes: in the interstitial region of the short arm of the largest metacentric chromosome (chromosome pair 1) in the Matsuyama type, in the interstitial region of the short arm of the subtelocentric chromosome (pair 2) in the Mugi and Otaru types, and in the interstitial region of the short arm of the metacentric chromosome (pair 2) in the Karatsu type. This physical mapping of the 5S rDNA provides valuable information about karyotype evolution in R. silerifolius. Possible mechanisms of chromosome evolution are discussed.     

Tandem 5S ribosomal RNA genes and the spacer region sequences of three Japanese Laminaria species

The organization of 5S ribosomal RNA genes (rDNA) was examined for threeJapanese Laminaria species, L. japonica, L.religiosa and L. ochotensis. The linkage of 5SrDNA with the 18S-5.8S-25S rDNAs unit known in the brown algaScytosiphon lomentaria could not be detected inLaminaria. Instead, the tandem repeats of 5S rDNA were notassociated with the 18S-5.8S-25S rDNAs unit. The nucleotide sequence of 5S rDNAwas completely identical among these three species and its length was 118bp. However, a difference of nucleotide arrangement was detectedinthe spacer region of the tandemly repeated 5S rDNAs. Several nucleotideinsertion / deletions and substitutions were confirmed between differentindividuals of L. japonica, which were collected from notonly disjunct localities, but also the same locality. The lengths of the spacerregion of L. japonica, L. religiosaand L. ochotensis were 247–252 bp, 232bp and 252 bp, respectively.     

Karyotype analysis and physical mapping of 45S rDNA in eight species of Sophora, Robinia , and Amorpha

The karyotype analysis and physical locations of 45S rDNA were carried out by means of fluorescence in situ hybridization in three species, and two forms of Sophora, two species of Robina, and one species of Amorpha. S. japonica L., S. japonica L. f. oligophylla Franch., S. japonica L. f. pendula Loud., and S. xanthantha C. Y. Ma. are all tetraploids with 2n = 28. There were four 45S rDNA sites in pericentromeric regions of two pairs of chromosomes in each of them. S. rubriflora Tsoong. is a triploid with 2n = 21, and three sites were located in each satellite of group 5 chromosomes. In R. pseudoacacia L. (2n = 2x = 22), we examined four intensive signals in telomeric regions of two pairs of satellite chromosomes. In R. hispida L. (2n = 2x = 30), there were four other signals in centromeric regions besides those like in R. pseudoacacia. Amorpha fruticosa L. has most chromosomes (2n = 40) among the eight materials, however, there were only six 45S rDNA loci and they laid in centromeric regions, and satellites of three pairs of chromosomes. 45S rDNA is a valuable chromosomal landmark in karyotype analysis. The distribution and genomic organization of rDNA in the three genera were also discussed. __________ Translated from Acta Botanica Yunnanica, 2005, 27(3): 261–268 [译自: 云南植物研究, 2005, 27(3): 261–268]
