Snow , Richard . (U. California, Davis.) Cytogenetic studies in Clarkia, section Primigenia. I. A cytological survey of Clarkia amoena. Amer. Jour. Bot. 50(4): 337–348. Illus. 1963.—Clarkia amoena (2n = 14) shows great cytological diversity based on reciprocal translocations. About ½ the plants sampled were heterozygotes; in 2 of the subspecies the frequency was as high as ⅔. The metaphase configurations were varied, including rings of 4, 6, 8, 4 + 4, 6 + 4, and more unusual types forming a chain of 3 + a univalent or a chain of 4 + a univalent. The latter have only 13 chromosomes but are not true monosomies. Some plants with supernumerary chromosomes were found, in addition to a plant with only 12 chromosomes which was derived from a “monosomic” type. From crosses of various homozygous lines to a standard strain, it was found that the standard end arrangement of chromosomes occurs widely and commonly throughout the species. A minimum of 7 different end arrangements, giving a ring of 4 with the standard strain, and 1 giving a ring of 6, account for the chromosome pairing found in interstrain crosses. No doubt more would be found with further testing. Some of the translocations may be components of adaptive polymorphic systems, though there is no proof of this yet. No balanced lethal systems similar to those in the closely related genus Oenothera were found.  相似文献

Clarkia gracilis (2n = 28) is an allotetraploid which combines genomes from two subsections of section Primigenia. Natural populations consist of plants homozygous for a single chromosome arrangement, which may differ from the arrangements in other populations by one or more reciprocal translocations. One arrangement, the “standard,” was widespread. Cytological observations on plants derived from crosses between populations of C. gracilis, and on triploid plants derived from crosses with C. amoena subsp. huntiana, one of the parents of the tetraploid, were used to determine the end arrangements present. Ten arrangements were identified, and it was found that the standard amoena subgenome of C. gracilis is identical in end arrangement to the previously defined standard arrangement of the diploid C. amoena. Hence a race of C. amoena with this arrangement was involved in the hybridization which gave rise to C. gracilis. Evidence was found that other arrangements of C. amoena have probably been introduced into C. gracilis by subsequent introgressive hybridization. Cytological differences, coupled with differences in morphology, ecology, and distribution indicate that C. gracilis should be subdivided into four subspecies instead of the three presently recognized.  相似文献

Snow , Richard . (U. California, Davis.) Chromosomal differentiation in Clarkia dudleyana. Amer. Jour. Bot. 47 (4) : 302—309. Illus. 1960.—Clarkia dudleyana (n=9) is a common, colonial annual of the early-summer California flora. Of 275 individuals, derived from 9 natural populations and their garden-grown representatives, 17.1% were heterozygous for reciprocal translocations. Supernumerary chromosomes were also found in about 2% of the plants examined. The translocation heterozygotes are not distributed regularly over the species range but are concentrated near the geographical center of distribution. Most of the populations contained none or only a few heterozygotes, but in one colony 69% of 42 plants sampled were heterozygous. Judging from the meiotic metaphase associations observed, at least 5 different chromosome arrangements are present at this locality. Hybrids between colonies have invariably been translocation heterozygotes, the largest association found in such hybrids being a chain of all 18 chromosomes (a potential ring of 18). No correlation is evident between geographical separation and degree of cytological differentiation. Heterozygotes with smaller rings of 4 or 6 chromosomes, whether from natural populations or resulting from interpopulation hybridization, are highly fertile owing to the regular alternate disjunction of the chromosomes of the rings. In the larger rings of 12 to 18 chromosomes, derived from interpopulation crosses, segregation is much more irregular and leads to high sterility. It is possible that at least in some localities the heterozygotes enjoy a selective advantage over their homozygous sibs. It is also postulated that homozygosity for a particular chromosome arrangement may be selectively favored in a certain habitat, as a result of a position effect attendant upon placing formerly non-linked genes in the same linkage group through reciprocal translocation. The high degree of chromosomal differentiation between some populations of this species suggests that the complex heterozygotes of Oenothera have arisen as a result of hybridization of cytologically differentiated races.  相似文献

Clarkia nitens and Clarkia speciosa polyantha (Onagraceae) are distinct chromosomal taxa differing by at least six reciprocal translocations. Where the taxa have come into contact, a chromosome boundary zone exists characterized by high levels of translocation heterozygosity due to at least 12 new chromosome arrangements which have evolved there. Previous studies have shown that these boundary arrangements are distributed such that they provide for full interfertility between adjacent populations. It was hypothesized that the geographic distributions of each of these arrangements will remain generally stable due largely to the very adverse effect that major changes would have on fertility. Evidence is presented here that over a ten year period the frequencies and geographic distributions of the chromosome arrangements within this boundary region have remained stable. The frequencies of the various chromosomal configurations (nine pairs, ring of four, two rings of four, ring of six, ring of four + ring of six, and ring of eight) from surveys in 1968 and 1978 have been analyzed statistically. In general, the analysis indicates that there have been no detectable changes over the 10-yr period.  相似文献

Plants thought to be typical of 7 species were chosen to represent the various taxa of Carthamus species with 10 pairs of chromosomes. These entities were crossed in all possible combinations and 20 of the possible 21 interspecific hybrids were obtained after 3 seasons of crosses. Analyses of the hybrids included studies of microsporocytes, pollen stainability, achene fertility, rudimentary ovaries, and other morphological characteristics. Pairing of chromosomes at metaphase I indicated no translocations were present in hybrids between C. tenuis from Israel, C. alexandrinus from Egypt, C. glaucus from northern Israel, and C. syriacus from Jordan. Members of this group are assigned the standard arrangement. Hybrids of C. glaucus from Iran, C. glaucus from Syria, and C. dentatus from Turkey always showed a translocation or chromosomal interchange when crossed with any member having the “standard” arrangement. The last 3 species are considered to have the “non-standard” chromosomal arrangement. The parental species used in this study can be regarded as a set of testers which will allow identification of chromosomal differentiation in additional Carthamus materials as they are collected.  相似文献

The amount of recombination in three different intraspecific crosses of the wild tomato species Lycopersicon peruvianum was investigated for the short arm of chromosome 6 that harbors the Mi nematode resistance gene and the centromeric region of chromosome 9 that contains the Tm2a virus resistance gene. These two genes have been introgressed into the cultivated tomato and are associated with a significant reduction in recombination in the respective region when crossed to other L. esculentum lines. For both regions and all crosses within L. peruvianum significantly more recombination (up to more than ten fold) was observed in the gametes derived from the female parent than in those from the male parent. In general, the differences were more pronounced for chromosome 6 than for chromosome 9. The amount of recombination in the three intraspecific L. peruvianum crosses was compared with the amount of recombination observed in the standard interspecific cross used for the construction of a saturated genetic map of tomato (L. esculentum x L. pennellii). In two of three cases for each region, more recombination was observed in the intraspecific crosses and in one case for each region significantly less recombination was found in the intraspecific cross when compared to the interspecific cross. Specifically for the Mi-carrying region, crosses within L. peruvianum exhibited up to 15-fold more recombination than crosses between resistant and susceptible L. esculentum lines, and such crosses will allow the fine mapping of this gene for the purpose of map-based cloning.  相似文献

Previous studies have shown a dynamic karyotype evolution and the presence of complex sex chromosome systems in three cryptic Leptidea species from the Western Palearctic. To further explore the chromosomal particularities of Leptidea butterflies, we examined the karyotype of an Eastern Palearctic species, Leptidea amurensis. We found a high number of chromosomes that differed between the sexes and slightly varied in females (i.e. 2n = 118–119 in females and 2n = 122 in males). The analysis of female meiotic chromosomes revealed multiple sex chromosomes with three W and six Z chromosomes. The curious sex chromosome constitution [i.e. W1–3/Z1–6 (females) and Z1–6/Z1–6 (males)] and the observed heterozygotes for a chromosomal fusion are together responsible for the sex‐specific and intraspecific variability in chromosome numbers. However, in contrast to the Western Palearctic Leptidea species, the single chromosomal fusion and static distribution of cytogenetic markers (18S rDNA and H3 histone genes) suggest that the karyotype of L. amurensis is stable. The data obtained for four Leptidea species suggest that the multiple sex chromosome system, although different among species, is a common feature of the genus Leptidea. Furthermore, inter‐ and intraspecific variations in chromosome numbers and the complex meiotic pairing of these multiple sex chromosomes indicate the role of chromosomal fissions, fusions, and translocations in the karyotype evolution of Leptidea butterflies.  相似文献

Chromosome rearrangements may affect the rate and patterns of gene flow within species, through reduced fitness of structural heterozygotes or by reducing recombination rates in rearranged areas of the genome. While the effects of chromosome rearrangements on gene flow have been studied in a wide range of organisms with monocentric chromosomes, the effects of rearrangements in holocentric chromosomes—chromosomes in which centromeric activity is distributed along the length of the chromosome—have not. We collected chromosome number and molecular genetic data in Carex scoparia, an eastern North American plant species with holocentric chromosomes and highly variable karyotype (2n = 56–70). There are no deep genetic breaks within C. scoparia that would suggest cryptic species differentiation. However, genetic distance between individuals is positively correlated with chromosome number difference and geographic distance. A positive correlation is also found between chromosome number and genetic distance in the western North American C. pachystachya (2n = 74–81). These findings suggest that geographic distance and the number of karyotype rearrangements separating populations affect the rate of gene flow between those populations. This is the first study to quantify the effects of holocentric chromosome rearrangements on the partitioning of intraspecific genetic variance.  相似文献

Nine accessions ofVicia narbonensis, considered to be the wild progenitor of faba bean (Vicia faba), were investigated to ascertain the nature and extent of intraspecific karyotypic polymorphism. The chromosome complements resolved into four distinct types (A, B, C, D), and the meiotic data of F1 hybrids (A × B, B × C, A × C) revealed that alteration in chromosome morphology is the result of segmental interchanges. The interchange complexes indicate that the parents differ from each other by 1 to 2 interchanges. It is also evident that karyotype B, and not A as previously reported, is the normal karyotype of the species, and A and C are single homozygotes for unequal interchange. The comparative karyomorphology of the parents and the hybrids, and of two interchange heterozygotes of four chromosomes each in F1 hybrids of A × C shows that the chromosomes involved in the single interchange homozygotes (A, C) are not common and the breaks in both interchanges occurred in short and long arms of the involved chromosomes. Identification of the interchanged chromosomes in the complements and the frequency of ring and chain quadrivalents in the heterozygotes enabled location of the breakpoints. The present results provide probably the first example indicating that interchange homozygosity (A) is not only firmly established but also has enabled the species to spread further by adapting to a wide range of habitats. — The genetic relationships between A and D are very different. All seven chromosome pairs in D could be distinguished from A, and for that matter, B and C as well. From the meiotic pairing properties it is also amply clear that genome D is well differentiated from A and possibly B, and C, and deserves special status.  相似文献

WithinEpilobium sect.Epilobium, a cytological analysis of 121 experimental hybrids, involving 40 species, indicates the presence of a widespread BB chromosome arrangement in Eurasia, Africa, and Australasia, as well as in North and South America less commonly. The AA chromosome arrangement, which differs from BB by one reciprocal translocation, occurs in North America, South America, and in at least three European species. The CC arrangement, which differs from AA by two reciprocal translocations, characterizes theAlpinae, a circumboreal group. Distinctive or only partly worked out chromosome arrangements occur in the EuropeanE. duriaei andE. nutans and in the North AmericanE. luteum, E. obcordatum, E. oregonense, andE. rigidum. With earlier results, the chromosome arrangements of some 65 of the estimated 185 species of the section have been established fully or partly.  相似文献

Drosophila pseudoobscura has three acrocentric autosomes. In the experiments reported, homologous arms of the third chromosome were attached to the same centromere. This is a reversed metacentric compound third chromosome, denoted by C(3)RM. This compound chromosome is relatively fertile in within-strain crosses (ca. 50% egg hatch) but sterile when outcrossed to a normal karyotype. When constructing translocations for this experiment, the behavior of the Y-autosome translocations suggested that this species can tolerate more Y chromosome deficiency while retaining fertility than canDrosophila melanogaster. Finally, there were no Robertsonian exchanges observed among the 96 autosome-autosome translocations analyzed cytologically.  相似文献

Summary Anther culture of secondary octoploid triticale (AABBDDRR) and F1 hybrids (AABBDDR) of octoploid triticale x common wheat crosses was carried out, and 96 pollen-derived plants were developed and studied cytologically. In addition to the 8 types of pollen-derived plants with the theoretically predicted chromosome number, plants with the chromosome constitutions of 2n = 38, 43, 45, 47, 74, and mixoploids were obtained. The haploids and the diploids had different distributions. The frequencies of plants with one and two (pairs of) rye chromosomes were extremely high, and anther culture may be an expeditious route for creating alien addition lines of distant hybrid F1s. Chromosome aberrations, including deletions, inversions, translocations, as well as isochromosomes and ring chromosomes, were observed in some plants. Abnormal meioses, such as chromosome non-disjunction, were also found. The reasons for the chromosome aberrations are discussed.  相似文献

The genus Glycine is composed of two subgenera, Glycine and Soja. Soja includes the cultivated soybean, G. max, and its wild annual counterpart G. soja, while Glycine includes seven wild perennial species. Hybridization was carried out within and between wild perennial species of the subgenus Glycine. The success rate (pods set/flowers crossed) was 11% for intraspecific and 8% for interspecific crosses. A total of 220 F1 hybrids was examined morphologically and cytologically where possible. Hybrids within G. canescens (2n = 40) and G. latifolia (2n = 40) were fertile as expected. Glycine clandestina (2n = 40) was morphologically separable into at least three groups, which produced fertile hybrids within each group. One cross between two groups gave vegetatively vigorous but sterile hybrids. The majority of crosses within G. tabacina (2n = 80) were fertile, except that extremely narrow-leaved forms gave sterile hybrids in combination with more usual forms. Sterility was also encountered in G. tomentella when aneuploids (2n = 78) from New South Wales, Australia, were crossed with tetraploids (2n = 80) from either Queensland, Australia, or Taiwan; crosses between the latter two populations resulted in seedling lethality. Cytological behavior of sterile hybrids followed a similar pattern, whether at the diploid or tetraploid level. The frequency of chromosome pairing was approximately half that expected if genomes showed full pairing homology. Bivalent disjunction at anaphase I was usually followed by precocious division of the majority of univalents. Telophase I and II were characterized by lagging chromosomes and micronuclei, so that resulting pollen was misshapen and sterile. Chromosome pairing data from sterile intraspecific hybrids at the tetraploid level may indicate a polyphyletic origin of tetraploids, whereby different diploid populations were involved in their formation. Similarly, chromosome pairing in sterile intraspecific diploid hybrids may indicate that the various diploid groups arose independently of one another. Both 40- and 80-chromosome forms are fully diploidized, however, and if they are of ancient origin, divergence since that time could have resulted in the chromosomal differentiation which becomes apparent when intraspecific hybridization is effected. Diploid (2n = 40) interspecific hybrids G. falcata × G. canescens, and G. falcata × G. tomentella grew poorly and did not reach flowering stage. Diploid (2n = 40) crosses between G. latifolia and G. tomentella produced inviable seedlings. Tetraploid (2n = 80) hybrids between G. tomentella and G. tabacina were vegetatively vigorous but sterile owing to low chromosome pairing at meiosis, indicating little pairing homology between the two species. Diploid hybrids between G. canescens and G. clandestina, however, showed almost complete chromosome pairing at diakinesis and partial fertility. Although morphologically distinct, these two species have not diverged sufficiently to prevent hybridization and possible gene exchange through recombination. Self compatibility, perennial growth habit, and geographic isolation have favored divergence among Glycine populations to the point that gene exchange appears no longer possible in many cases. Internal isolating mechanisms have been shown to operate at various levels of plant development from hybrid lethality at seedling stage, to failure of seed-set in sterile but vegetatively vigorous hybrids.  相似文献

Danko Brncic 《Chromosoma》1956,8(1):699-708
Summary D. pavani Brncic 1957, is a neotropical species found in Chile and in a part of Argentina along the eastern slope of the Andes. The present paper describes the mitotic and salivary gland chromosomes of this species and gives a composite map of the Standard gene arrangement.Natural populations ofD. pavani are polymorphic with respect to the gene orders in their chromosomes. The observed variations in the gene arrangements are due to complex included and overlapping paracentric inversions. In none of the populations or in the crosses studied were found the hypothetical intermediate steps needed for the establishment of the phylogeny of the gene orders present in nature.The qualitative and quantitative data on the distribution and frequency of inversions show no pronounced geographic variations. The high incidence of inversion heterozygotes and the absence of the intermediate steps between the gene arrangements found in nature, seem to indicate an adaptive nature of the polymorphism observed inD. pavani This work has been supported in part by a grant from the Rockefeller Foundation.  相似文献

The pattern of localization of the ribosomal genes was studied by means of fluorescence in situ hybridization in 39 species of the tribe Harpalini. Most of them show one pair of autosomes carrying the ribosomal genes in a distal position of a single chromosome arm. This pattern is hypothesized to be ancestral for the whole tribe. Both, chromosome number and the number and localization of rDNA loci, show little variation and are therefore of little phylogenetic value. Only in the subtribe Ditomina is there enough variation to characterize phyletic relationships. The stability of rDNA loci is even higher than the constancy of chromosome number, as most species of Ditomina (genera Dixus, Eocarterus, Carterus, Odontocarus and Ditomus) have the usual pair of autosomes with rDNA loci, in spite of remarkable differences in the diploid number. Only Dixus sphaerocephalus and Dixus clypeatus have two autosomal pairs with a fluorescent signal. These results do not support the hypothesis that the high chromosome numbers found within Ditomina are the result of polyploid change from the ancestral 2n = 37 karyotype of the tribe Harpalini. Chromosomal translocations or the presence of mobile genetic elements are plausible sources of the few cases of intraspecific polymorphism in the rDNA loci found in species of Harpalus.  相似文献

Intraspecific divergence of hexaploid wheat Triticum spelta was studied by C-banding method in 41 accessions of different geographic origins. The spelt accessions did not differ in karyotype structure or heterochromatin distribution from common wheat, but showed greater intraspecific polymorphism by chromosome rearrangements (translocations, inversions) and banding patterns. On evidence of C-banding patterns, spelt was assumed to occupy an intermediate position between tetraploid and hexaploid wheat species. Accessions of the Asian spelt subspecies had more diverse banding patterns than European accessions. A relatively high frequency of chromosome rearrangements was observed in Iranian accessions. Visual analysis revealed high uniformity of chromosome banding patterns in T. spelta populations of Afghanistan, Spain, and Germany (Bavarian group), suggesting a significant role of the founder effect in their evolution.  相似文献

Summary To investigate the mechanisms of seed failure in intraspecific and interspecific crosses of Solanum two diploid, S. commersonii and Group Phureja, and one tetraploid species, S. acaule, species were crossed and the seeds were analyzed for embryo and endosperm development. Many seeds of certain crosses observed seven days after pollinations were found to contain abnormal embryos and degenerating endosperms. In some cases seeds contained an embryo with no endosperm, or an endosperm with no embryo. Other interspecific crosses which were predicted to fail actually produced seeds with normally developed embryos and endosperms. To further characterize the intra- and interspecific embryos and endosperms the nuclear DNA was measured. There are several ways to explain the ploidy levels of embryos and endosperms among the crosses, the occurrence of unreduced gametes in some cases and genomic instability in other cases. The latter resulted in chromosome loss at meiotic and mitotic divisions. Genomic balance in interspecific seeds is critical to both embryo and endosperm development.Scientific Journal Series Article No. 14636 of the Minnesota Experiment Station  相似文献

The genetic causes of heterosis in tree growth were investigated by a comparative genetic analysis of intra- and inter-specific crosses derived from Populus tremuloides and P. tremula. A new analytical method was developed to estimate the effective number of loci affecting a quantitative trait and the magnitudes of their additive and dominant effects across loci. The method combines the assumption of multiple alleles, as frequently found in outcrossing species, and the family structure analysis at different hierarchical levels. During the first 3 years of growth, interspecific hybrids displayed strong heterosis in stem growth, especially volume index, over intraspecific hybrids. By a series of joint analyses on the combining ability and the genetic component, we found that F1 heterosis might be due to overdominant interaction between two alleles, one from the P. tremuloides parent and the other from the P. tremula parent, at the same loci. This inference was derived from the finding that heterozygotes, newly formed through species combination, showed much greater growth than the heterozygotes from intraspecifc crosses at a reference locus. Heterosis in aspen growth appeared to be under multi-genic control, with a slightly larger number of loci for stem diameter and volume (9–10) than for height (6–8). For traits with non-significant heterosis, such as stem allometry and internode number and length, the number of underlying loci seemed to be much fewer (3–4). While additive effects appeared to influence seedling traits collectively across loci, a few major dominant loci had much larger effects on stem growth.  相似文献

Summary Translocations with euchromatic breakpoints were generated in lethal-free autosomes of Drosophila melanogaster. Pairs of initially homozygous-lethal translocations, matched for one breakpoint, were allowed to recombine for ten generations. At the end of the experiment, 10/47=21% of crosses (representing 8/26=31% of the intial translocations) had at least one line with at least one homokaryotypic third-instar larva, detected among a small sample of salivary gland preparations from each cross. Among these ten crosses, chromosome extractions were performed; 5/10 of the crosses (probably representing 4/8 of the translocations) had at least one chromosome set with relative viability greater than 15%–25%. To a first (and conservative) approximation, 5/47=11% of crosses showed improvement of viability of 1 of the translocations in the cross during the controlled recombination regime; overall, 4 of the 26 translocations (15%) showed improvement of viability. Partly because of the conservative criterion of viability used, this figure is less than the 20% of translocations that theoretically should be improvable. Pseudohomokaryotypes (pairs of translocations with both breakpoints nearly matching) did not behave as very fit homokaryotypes. However, some of them generated viable hyperploid assortment products that might be of practical interest to mask deleterious effects at breakpoints of translocations. The improvement of fitness of at least a proportion of low fitness translocation stocks by the use of a controlled recombination procedure should be feasible for many pest species.  相似文献

Interracial hybridization in Drosophila ananassae   总被引:3,自引:3,他引:0  
B. N. Singh 《Genetica》1981,57(2):139-142
Crosses were made between strains of Drosophila ananassae, homozygous for the ST or AL gene sequences in the second chromosome, and originating from geographically distant localities in India. All interracial crosses were maintained separately in culture bottles for ten generations. After ten generations it was observed that the inversion heterozygotes were heterotic. Thus it was found that interracial hybridization does not lead to breakdown of heterosis. Therefore, it has been suggested that localised coadaptation is absent in the natural populations of Indian D. ananassae. Thus D. ananassae does not show the pattern of some other species.  相似文献
