东方百合系内杂交授粉技术与胚抢救技术研究

研究了东方百合系内杂交授粉技术及胚抢救技术。结果表明:(1)在组合‘Justina’בShela’中,采用柱头直接授粉,花粉管在花柱中向下定向生长,在子房中向胚珠定向生长;采用切花柱授粉,花粉管在花柱切口及子房中发生不同程度无向性生长;残留花柱越长,进行胚珠定向的花粉管数量越多,获得的饱满种子越少,采用柱头直接授粉获得的饱满种子最多。(2)采用柱头直接授粉对东方百合系内56个组合进行杂交实验,仅1个组合未获得饱满胚珠、3个组合获得胚珠少于10个,其余52个组合获得大量饱满胚珠,初步表明此法可作为东方百合系内杂交通用授粉技术。不同胚抢救技术试验结果显示,授粉约70d后采用切胚珠接种比胚珠直接接种的杂种胚萌动快、萌发率高,而且前者的胚抢救效率也明显高于授粉40d后的"剥胚式接种"。研究认为,授粉约70d后采用"切胚珠接种"可作为东方百合系内杂交通用胚抢救技术。

华重楼离体胚培养及植株再生初探

为探明华重楼离体胚培养及植株再生的基本体系,该文以华重楼离体幼胚为试验材料,以MS培养基为基本培养基,研究不同光照、不同浓度梯度组合的植物生长调节剂对华重楼离体幼胚萌发、成苗的影响。结果表明:培养到60 d时,暗培养条件下华重楼离体幼胚的生长率和萌发率分别比光培养条件下高45.25%、19.17%,故暗培养比光培养更有利于华重楼离体幼胚生长发育。当GA₃浓度相同时,离体幼胚萌发所需时间随IAA浓度增加而延长。不同浓度的GA₃都可促进离体幼胚萌发,促进作用由强到弱依次为5 mg·L^-1 GA₃>1 mg·L^-1 GA₃> 10 mg·L^-1 GA₃。在黑暗条件下,优选得到最适华重楼离体幼胚生长发育配方为1/2 MS+30 g·L^-1 蔗糖+7 g·L^-1琼脂+0.5 g·L^-1 活性炭+5 mg·L^-1GA₃+1 mg·L^-1 IAA。此配方可诱导华重楼离体幼胚在2个月左右萌发,萌发率达50%需80 d左右。在华重楼成熟胚出苗培养时发现,高浓度的植物生长调节剂会抑制华重楼成熟胚生长发育,高浓度GA₃甚至会导致华重楼成熟胚死亡。优选得到最适华重楼成熟胚出苗配方为MS+30 g·L^-1 蔗糖+6.2 mg·L^-1 硼酸+7 g·L^-1 琼脂+0.7 g·L^-1 活性炭+0.5 mg·L^-1 2,4-D+1.5 mg·L^-1 IAA + 1.5 mg·L^-1 ZT+5mg·L^-1 GA₃,诱导成熟胚出苗需43 d左右,75 d左右可形成真叶。     

AgNO3对橡胶树花药愈伤组织形态及体胚发生的影响

橡胶树的花药愈伤组织在长期继代过程中,胚性易下降甚至丧失;而AgNO3作为乙烯活性抑制剂,被广泛应用于植物组织培养中.该研究以继代培养4 a以上的热研7-33-97花药愈伤组织为材料,在继代培养基中添加2.5 mg·L-1 AgNO3预培养35 d后,观察预培养前后愈伤组织表形及其细胞形态的变化,并设计不同浓度AgNO3及不同处理时间对其进行体胚诱导,90 d后分别统计胚状体总数和正常胚数.结果表明:浅黄色质地柔软的愈伤组织在含AgNO3的培养基上预培养后能转变成鲜黄色易碎愈伤组织,在倒置显微镜下前者大多表现为不规则多边形,细胞内含物较稀薄;而后者则呈圆形或椭圆形,细胞内含物丰富,属于典型的胚性细胞.在体胚诱导的第1个月添加5 mg·L-1 AgNO3能显著促进体胚的发生,AgNO3浓度升至10 mg·L-1时体胚发生受到抑制,且畸形胚的形成率显著增加;在含5 mg·L-1 AgNO3的培养基中培养2个月以上,体胚发育明显受阻,大部分形成畸形胚.该研究结果在一定程度上恢复了橡胶树长期继代花药愈伤组织的胚性能力,并提高了其体胚发生频率,为橡胶树花药胚性愈伤组织长期继代培养过程中胚性的保持提供了参考.

Abortion and determination of stages for embryo rescue in crosses between sweet-potato,Ipomoea batatas Lam. (2n=6x=90) and its wild relative,I. trifida (H. B. K.) G. Don. (2n=2x=30)

Summary The frequency of aborted fruits and the changes and abnormalities that occur during the embryo development in intraspecific crosses of sweet-potato Ipomoea batatas (2n=6x=90) and interspecific crosses between I. batatas and I. trifida (2n=2x=30) were investigated in order to study the causes of the low seed production. Three genotypes of I. batatas and 18 genotypes of I. trifida were intermated. The frequency of aborted fruits was below 25% in the intraspecific crosses and over 90% in the interspecific crosses. Paraffin sections were used to examine the developmental stages of fruits and seeds. Embryos in different developmental stages were observed to determine the stage of abortion. These observations permitted the identification of developmental stages of embryo rescue in interspecific crosses. There were no significant differences in the frequency of embryo abortion before the early globular stage among female sweet-potato progenitors for the intraspecific and interspecific crosses. The frequency of the late occurrence of embryo abortion (when embryo abortion occurs after the pre-globular stage) was higher in interspecific crosses (19.1%) than in intraspecific crosses (5.5%). The frequency of the late occurrence of embryo abortion in interspecific crosses was higher at the globular stage (9.6%) than at the heart stage (4.3%). Providing that embryo rescue is conducted in interspecific crosses, the estimated number of potentially viable embryos could be increased: 30 times with embryos at the globular stage; 20 times with embryos at the heart stage; and 11 times if embryos at the torpedo stage were used for the rescue with respect to the seed set. The results suggested that the appropriate time for embryo rescue in interspecific crosses is at the globular stage. If embryos could be rescued at the globular stage, it would be possible to increase the number of surviving embryos up to 30 times in interspecific crosses and 0.02 times in intraspecific crosses with respect to natural conditions without embryo rescue.This research was initiated during sabbatical of M.I. at the Asian Vegetable Research and Development Center (AVRDC) in Taiwan     

Induction of Haploid Durum Wheat Plants Through Pollination of Maize Pollen

When tetraploid wheat (Triticum durum Desf. ) variety DR147 was crossed with maize (Zea mays L. ) variety suppersweet ss 7700, pollen readily germinated on the stigma and one or more pollen tubes reached the embryo sac in 83.4% of wheat florets. The frequency of fertilization and embryo formation was 44.5% and 42. 6% respectively. The hybrids were karyotypically unstable and the maize chromosomes were eliminated early in the development. Thus haploid wheat embryos were form. Although the double fertilization frequency of durum wheat X maize was high (32.7%) to form embryos and endosperms, yet the endosperms were highly abnormal. It was very difficult to produce viable mature seeds from the mother durum wheat plants. The survival of hybrid embryos produced by durum wheat X maize could be improved or prolonged by treatment with 100 ppm 2, 4-D (either by dipping inflorescences in solution or injecting 0.3 to 0.5 mL 2, 4-D solution into the uppermost internodes of the wheat stem). 9 to 13 days after pollination, caryopsis were excised from the pollinated spikes and surface sterilized for peeling of the embryos in different developing stages. The embryos were plated on MS solid medium containing 3% sucrose, 200 mg/L casein hydrolysate for embryo rescue. The experimental results revealed that the well developed embryos (larger than 0. 5 mm with scutellum structure) were easy to produce calli by callus induction or produce haploid wheat plants by embryo rescue, whereas the poorly developed embryos (globular, pear or torpedo-shaped embryos smaller than 0.3 mm) responsed very poorly. The germination frequencies of well and poorly developed embryos were 83.3 % and 12.5 %, respectively. Chromosome counts of root tip cells of the rescued plants proved their haploid nature (2n= 2x= 14).     

A Simple Method for Transportation of Mouse Embryos Using Microtubes and a Warm Box

Generally, transportation of preimplantation embryos without freezing requires incubators that can maintain an optimal culture environment with a suitable gas phase, temperature, and humidity. Such incubators are expensive to transport. We reported previously that normal offspring were obtained when the gas phase and temperature could be maintained during transportation. However, that system used plastic dishes for embryo culture and is unsuitable for long-distance transport of live embryos. Here, we developed a simple low-cost embryo transportation system. Instead of plastic dishes, several types of microtubes—usually used for molecular analysis—were tested for embryo culture. When they were washed and attached to a gas-permeable film, the rate of embryo development from the 1-cell to blastocyst stage was more than 90%. The quality of these blastocysts and the rate of full-term development after embryo transfer to recipient female mice were similar to those of a dish-cultured control group. Next, we developed a small warm box powered by a battery instead of mains power, which could maintain an optimal temperature for embryo development during transport. When 1-cell embryos derived from BDF1, C57BL/6, C3H/He and ICR mouse strains were transported by a parcel-delivery service over 3 days using microtubes and the box, they developed to blastocysts with rates similar to controls. After the embryos had been transferred into recipient female mice, healthy offspring were obtained without any losses except for the C3H/He strain. Thus, transport of mouse embryos is possible using this very simple method, which might prove useful in the field of reproductive medicine.     

Embryo rescue response and genetic analyses in interspecific crosses of oilseed Brassica species

Embryo rescue technique is widely utilized to save developing embryo from abortion in interspecific hybridization of plants. In Brassica species, success of an embryo rescue depends on the age of embryo, developmental stage of embryo, and media composition. In this study, ten crosses were conducted between diploid oilseed species B. rapa × tetraploid B. napus and B. rapa × tetraploid B. juncea along with their reciprocal crosses. The immature embryos from parents and crosses were cultured at 14 d after pollination in MS and ½ MS medium without any growth regulators for direct embryogenesis. Embryos were found at different stages of development during isolation, from globular to cotyledonary, indicating that rate of embryo development depends on genotype. Embryos isolated at the cotyledonary stage showed the highest regeneration percentage (av. 83.29%) and required the lowest time to regenerate (5.8 d) compared with another type of embryo, torpedo stage, cultured. Embryo rescued in ½ MS media accounted for 10–51%, 4.0–61%, 6.0–21%, and 5.0–43% greater shoot length, root length, number of leaves, and days to flowering, respectively, in different cross combinations compared with full-strength MS media. The results indicated that the rate of regeneration from embryo is higher in ½ MS media compared with full-strength MS media. Percent regeneration from the cultured embryos differed significantly in different cross combinations. Days required for regeneration from embryos, length of siliqua, and the number of ovules per siliqua accounted for high heterosis and broad sense heritability. The findings of this experiment would be useful in developing cost-effective embryo rescue protocol and desired interspecific hybrids through embryo rescue in Brassica species.

     

濒危植物西康玉兰种子休眠、萌发及贮藏特性

研究了西康玉兰(Magnolia wilsonii)种胚的形态大小,温度、层积、硝酸钾、浸种处理和GA_3对种子休眠及萌发的影响.通过将种子脱水至不同含水量和在两种温度(4℃和一20℃)下贮藏100 d后测其生活力,分析各处理对西康玉兰种子活力的影响.结果表明:西康玉兰种子胚尚未分化完全,需经过低温层积完成生理后熟;低温层积和GA3可打破种子休眠.种子最适萌发温度为25/20℃.由此推测,西康玉兰种子具有形态生理休眠特性.西康玉兰种子当含水量降至5.39%,存活率为53.50%.不同含水量的种子贮藏在-20℃条件下,100 d后种子全部死亡;但在4℃下含水量为10.31%的种子存活力高达76%.因此,西康玉兰种子极可能属于中间性种子,其适宜贮藏环境为4℃下的干藏或湿藏.     

Seed Dormancy,Germination and Storage Behavior of Magnolia wilsonii (Magnoliaceae), an Endangered Plant in China

In this paper, we measured the embryo morphology and size of Magnolia wilsonii seeds. And the effects of temperature, stratification, KNO3 and soaking on seed dormancy and germination were studied. Seeds were desiccated to different moisture content, and then stored at 4℃ and -20℃ for 100 d. The effects of desiccation and storage temperature on seed viability of M. wilsonii were analyzed. The results showed that the underdeveloped embryos of Mwilsonii seeds needed cold stratification to achieve physiological afterripening. The favorable temperature for germination of Mwilsonii seeds was 25/20℃. Cold stratification and GA3 could effectively overcome dormancy of Mwilsonii seeds. Therefore, Mwilsonii seeds have morphophysiological dormancy. About 5350% of seeds could survive in the moisture content of 539%. After 100 d storage at -20℃, all seeds in different moisture contents died. However, after 100 d storage at 4℃, 76% of seeds survived. Thus, Mwilsonii seeds exhibited intermediate seed storage behavior. The optimum storage environments was dry or moist storage at 4℃.     

低温预处理对水曲柳体细胞胚胎发生的影响

用4℃低温预处理未成熟的水曲柳种子0-30d,取出种子内的合子胚为外植体诱导体胚发生,研究低温预处理影响体胚发生的结果表明：低温预处理过的外植体其体胚发生总数和子叶胚发生数均低于未作低温预处理的;随着预处理时间的延长,畸形胚发生数和发生比率与总的体胚发生数和发生率的变化趋势基本相同;处理20d的正常胚发生数和发生比率的绝对数虽然很低,但远高于不作低温预处理的。说明4℃低温预处理对水曲柳体胚发生没有促进作用,对畸形胚的发生也不能控制,总的来讲,适当的低温处理有一定的改善正常体胚发生的潜力。     

Assessment of polyembryony in lemon: rescue and in vitro culture of immature embryos

The 27 lemon cultivars analysed could be considered slightly or moderately polyembryonic, with 25 to 43% of seeds being polyembryonic and from 1.3 to 1.6 embryos per seed. On this basis, it is necessary to rescue zygotic embryos at an immature stage. Rescue and in vitro embryo development have been studied in two Citrus limon polyembryonic cultivars. Sucrose (50 and 70 g/l) was combined with Murashige and Skoog and Gamborg’s B5 media and tested for optimal growth response. An important effect of genotype was observed: embryos from cultivar ‘Eureka’ had greater survival, germination percentage, and radical development. While the sucrose concentration in the medium did not have an effect on germination, the medium affected the embryo survival and root development of the seedlings, Gamborg’s B5 medium giving the best results. The ability to form plants in vitro was affected by an increase of embryo developmental stage. The germination and seedling height were greater with embryos of seeds collected 135–150 days after anthesis.     

Energy substrate requirements for in vitro development of early cleavage-stage bovine embryos

Energy substrate preferences of bovine cleavage-stage embryos produced by in vitro maturation and in vitro fertilization were examined in a chemically-defined (protein-free) culture medium modified hamster embryo culture medium-3, (mHECM3). Few inseminated ova cleaved without energy substrates. Glucose and/or glutamine could not support embryo development, but lactate alone was effective (37% 5–8-cells), equivalent to complex medium TCM-199 (44%). Addition of 11 selected amino acids to lactate increased embryo cleavages, although this treatment was not significantly different from pyruvate alone. Addition of glucose to lactate or to pyruvate depressed development. Lactate + amino acids was significantly better than TCM-199 (54% and 26% ≤8-cells, respectively). Blastocyst development was evaluated after transferring ≤8-cell embryos into a complex medium (TCM-199) containing serum. Cleavage-stage embryos produced with pyruvate alone or with lactate + amino acids yielded the highest proportions of blastocysts (36% and 41%, respectively, of inseminated ova). Between 33–63% of blastocysts derived from embryos that were initially developed in mHECM-3 supplemented with various substrates escaped from their zonae (hatched) depending on the treatment, but none of the embryos from the pyruvate + glucose combination hatched. This study shows that optimal energy substrates for bovine cleavage-stage embryo development can be determined using a chemically-defined culture medium, that a simple medium with selected substrates can support early development as well as or better than a complex medium, that a two-step culture system can be used to evaluate blastocyst development from these cleavage-stage embryos, and that timing and hatching of embryos may provide additional information about discriminating between the suitabilities of different substrates for early embryo development. © 1996 Wiley-Liss, Inc.
