水稻脆杆突变体bcm581-1茎杆形态结构观察、理化测定和遗传分析

在根癌农杆菌介导的Ds转座因子转化的水稻株系中,发现了脆杆突变体bcm581-1。经Basta除草剂抗性检测和PCR检测,这个脆杆突变不是由Ds转座因子插入引起;通过光学显微镜观察发现突变体的小维管束数目多于对照,小维管束之间的凹陷比对照深,而皮层纤维细胞层数少于对照;扫描电镜观察发现突变体表皮细胞外侧的硅质没有对照丰富。虽然,单位面积内的细胞数与对照相近。但是,突变体的细胞壁薄,维管束内纤维细胞壁的加厚程度也低于对照。因此,细胞腔明显比对照大。茎杆的力学测定结果表明：突变体的载荷低于对照9．6倍;延伸低5．4倍;延伸率低6．9倍;应力低6倍。茎杆的相对含水量和粗纤维含量测定表明：突变体的含水量高于对照3．5％,粗纤维含量则低于对照8．12％。bcm581-1与中花11号杂交试验显示,F1植株全部正常,F2群体中,正常杆和脆杆以3：1分离,以中花11号为回交亲本的F181植株,表现正常;而以脆杆为回交亲本的F181植株,正常茎杆和脆杆则以1：1分离,结果表明：bcm581-1的茎杆变脆是受隐性单基因控制的突变。

在根癌农杆菌介导的T-DNA(携带有除草剂Basta抗性基因bar和Ds因子)转化中花11水稻群体中,获得了一个叶片发生明显内卷的突变体Rl-A。经过连续三代的分离鉴定,获得突变体的纯合株(Rl-A2),并与中花11号进行杂交,在调查的36个F1植株中,全部表现为卷叶,并对Basta除草剂都表现为抗性。在852个F2单株中,卷叶为645株,正常叶207株,卷叶和正常叶的比例为3：1,其中,卷叶株均对Basta表现抗性,正常叶株均对Basta表现敏感,表明卷叶性状和Basta抗性存在着共分离关系。用扩增DS因子的引物,对F2中45个卷叶抗性株进行PCR鉴定,都获得预期长度的Ds因子片段,进一步表明在这些卷叶的植株中都有T-DNA的插入;而30个正常叶敏感株都不能检测到DS的特征片段。在以卷叶突变(Rl-A2)为回交亲本的F1B1植株中,全部植株表现卷叶;在以中花11号为回交亲本的F1B1植株中,卷叶和正常叶植株的分离比为1：1。上述结果表明该卷叶突变是个显性突变,受一个基因所控制,且该基因的突变与T-DNA的插入有关。

插入含Ds因子的T-DNA产生的水稻脆秆突变株的遗传和分子分析

在构建由农杆菌介导的玉米Ds转座因子插入的水稻转化群体中,得到了一个茎秆等组织发生脆性突变的株系。理化指标定量测定表明,脆性株系的载荷强度和纤维素含量都比正常植株低很多,可溶性糖含量略有减少。对这个突变株的分子检测结果表明Ds因子在脆性株系中为单位点插入。检测了自前3代（T1,T2,T3)植株中T-DNA(Ds)插入与脆性表型的共分离关系。初步结果表明这个突变是T－DNA（Ds)的插入造成的,这个突变基因可能与水稻纤维素合成有关。

Anatomical and Chemical Alterations but not Photosynthetic Dynamics and Apoplastic Transport Changes are Involved in the Brittleness Culm Mutation of Rice

Brittleness culm is an important agronomic trait that has a potential usefulness in agricultural activity as animal forage although the developmental mechanism is not clear yet. In the present study, the anatomical and chemical characteristics as well as some ecophysiological features in the brittleness culm mutation of rice (Oryza sativa L.) were investigated. Compared with the wild type (WT), the brittleness culm mutant (bcm) exhibited higher culm vascular bundle distance and lower culm wall thickness, leaf interveinal distance and leaf thickness. Ratio of bundle sheath cell/whole bundle and areas of whole vascular bundles and bundle sheath of leaves were reduced while ratios of xylem and phloem to whole bundles were elevated in bcm. The Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) microspectroscopy analysis and further histochemical and physiological measurements revealed that the different contents and depositions of cell wall components such as pectins, lignin, suberin and cellulose all participated in the mutation of brittleness. However, the mutant presented no significant changes in leaf photosynthetic dynamics and apoplastic transport ability. These results strongly indicate that the alterations in anatomical and chemical characteristics, rather than changes in major ecophysiological features such as photosynthesis and apoplastic transport were involved in the brittleness mutation of rice.     

水稻基部伸长节间性状与茎秆机械强度的相关分析和QTL定位

分析水稻品种‘沈农265’和‘丽江新团黑谷’杂交的F2群体基部第二节间茎秆机械强度与该节间形态和茎秆解剖结构的相关性,并对基部第二节间机械强度和相关性状进行QTL定位的结果表明：机械强度与茎粗、茎壁面积、茎壁厚度、大小维管束数目、大小维管束面积、大小维管束韧皮部面积、大小维管束木质部面积呈显著或极显著的正相关,与节间长度呈极显著的负相关,而与茎秆扁平率的相关不显著。采用复合区间作图,从研究的14个目标性状中检测到18个QTL。控制基部第二节间的抗折力的QTL检测到4个,位于第4、7、9和10号染色体上,可解释遗传变异的12%～23%。在第4和第7染色体上的相同区间上还同时检测到了控制茎壁性状和维管束性状QTL,贡献率在12%～21%之间。说明这两个位点是控制基部第二节间机械强度的重要区域,也是茎壁性状、维管束性状与机械强度高度正相关的遗传学基础。     

Characterization and gene mapping of a brittle culm mutant of diploid wheat (Triticum monococcum L.) with irregular xylem vessels development

Diploid wheat, Triticum monococcum L. (einkorn) is an ideal plant material for wheat functional genomics. Brittle culm mutant was identified by screening of the ethyl methane sulphonate-treated M ₂ progenies of a T. monococcum accession pau14087 by banding the plant parts manually. The brittle culm mutant with drooping leaves, early flowering, reduced tiller numbers and susceptible to lodging had also exhibited brittleness in all plant parts than the wild-type parents. Comprehensive mechanical strength, histological, biochemical, scanning electron microscopy, and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy analyses of brittle culm mutant supplemented and complemented the findings that the mutant had defective cellulose biosynthesis pathway and deposition of cell wall materials on secondary cell wall of mechanical tissues. Microscopic studies demonstrated that the decrease in cellulose contents resulted in the irregular cell wall organization in xylem vessels of leaf vascular bundles. To map the brc5 mutant, mapping populations were developed by crossing the brittle culm mutant with wild Triticum boeoticum acc. pau5088, having non-brittle characters. The brittle culm mutation was mapped between SSR markers, Xcfd39 and Xgwm126 on 5A^mL chromosome of T. monococcum, with genetic distances of 2.6 and 4.8 cM, respectively. The brc5 mutant mapped on 5A^mL, being distinct from a previously mapped brittle culm mutant in wheat, has been designated as brc5. The work on fine mapping and map-based cloning of brc5 gene regulating synthesis and deposition of cellulose on the secondary cell wall is in progress.     

Lignification and lignin heterogeneity for various age classes of bamboo (Phyllostachys pubescens) stems

The lignification process and lignin heterogeneity of fibre, vessel and parenchyma cell walls for various age classes of bamboo stems of Phyllostachys pubescens Mazel were investigated. It was shown that protoxylem vessels lignified in the early stage of vascular bundle differentiation, metaxylem vessel and fibre walls initiated lignification from the middle lamella and cell corners after the completion of vascular bundle differentiation. Most of the parenchyma cell walls lignified after the stem reached its full height, while a few parenchyma cells remained non-lignified even in the mature culm. The cell walls of fibres and most parenchyma cells thickened further during the stem growth to form polylamellate structure and the lignification process of these cells may last even up to 7 years. The fibre walls were rich in guaiacyl lignin in the early stage of lignification, and lignin rich in syringyl units were deposited in the later stage. Vessel walls mainly contained guaiacyl lignin, while both guaiacyl and syringyl lignin were present in the fibre and parenchyma cell walls.

水稻脆性突变体是研究细胞壁组分结构形成机制的重要材料。通过离子束诱变籼稻9311获得1个茎秆、叶片均脆的突变体,命名为bc9311-1。bc9311-1突变体与野生型9311相比,分蘖数减少,结实率显著降低,其他农艺性状无明显差异。叶片和茎秆的细胞壁成分分析表明,与野生型相比,bc9311-1突变体茎秆中的纤维素和木质素含量明显降低,半纤维素和SiO2含量显著增加;叶片中的纤维素含量降低,半纤维素和木质素含量增加,SiO2含量无明显差异。遗传分析表明,该脆性突变体脆性性状受单隐性基因控制。以bc9311-1突变体与02428杂交的F2群体为基因定位群体,利用SSR标记将bc9311-1突变位点定位在水稻第1染色体上,位于SSR分子标记的RM1095和RM3632之间,遗传距离分别为0.6cM和3.4cM,与其中的标记RM1183表现共分离。这些结果为进一步克隆突变基因,揭示脆性性状的分子机制奠定坚实基础。
