长白猪、枫泾猪和它们的杂种后代Ag—NOR的研究

4头枫泾猪,3头长白猪和5头长白×枫泾杂一代的NOR平均数分别为3.88、2和2.95。33头长白×枫泾杂二代猪(杂一代互交后代),其中7头黑猪的NOR众数为4,平均数为3.85;9头白猪的NOR众数为2,平均数为2.25;14头白猪的NOR众数为3,平均数为2.86;3头花猪的NOR众数分别为4.3、3,平均数为3.65、3.00和3.08。根据长白、枫泾和长白×枫泾杂一代和杂二代的NOR数目的区别和变化,NOR的遗传符合孟德尔定律。根据NOR数目与毛色的高度相关,提出了决定猪的黑白毛色的基因位于8号染色体并与NOR连锁的假设。猪的毛色除由位于8号染色体上的毛色基因所决定外,还应受其它基因位点的影响。     

黄鳝染色体体内SCE检测系统的建立

应用IdU-毛玉米油体内SCE技术,以不同剂量的典型诱变剂MMC和CP对70尾黄鳝的脾、肾、血淋巴细胞进行了体内诱发SCE敏感性测试。结果:三种细胞的染色体SCE自发频率均较低,不同剂量MMC和CP诱发黄鳝三种细胞SCE频率均较对照组显著增加。诱变剂剂量与诱发SCE频率呈线性关系。三种细胞染色体SCE对MMC和CP的敏感性次序为肾>脾>血淋巴细胞。与几种鱼和其它动物比较,黄鳝三种细胞的SCE自发频率均较低,对MMC和CP诱发SCE的敏感性均较高,因此认为黄鳝可作为较理想的体内SCE检测系统。     

Localised uptake of63nickel into dinoflagellate chromosomes: An autoradiographic study

Summary The uptake of⁶³Ni into cells of the binucleate dinoflagellateGlenodinium foliaceum was investigated using insoluble compound light and electron microscope autoradiography. Cells labelled over a period of 2 hours showed active uptake throughout the whole population, with an increase in mean cell grain count when the labelling period was extended to 4 hours and 24 hours. The mean grain count did not vary with type of fixation (glutaraldehyde, paraformaldehyde or acetic alcohol) suggesting that retention of⁶³ Ni is not a specific fixation-binding artefact. At light microscope level, silver grains were not localised to any major cell component, but with the greater resolution of electron microscope autoradiography, a high degree of localisation was demonstrated in the typical dinoflagellate (dinocaryotic) nucleus-which contained about 83% of the cell label (cytoplasm 16%, supernumerary nucleus 1%). Silver grain distribution within the dinocaryotic nucleus was consistent with some degree of localisation to the condensed chromatin.The autoradiographic results corroborate previous X-ray microanalytical data which demonstrated high levels of transition metals in dinoflagellate nuclei. The distinction between the two types of nucleus inGlenodinium is further emphasised, giving additional support to the concept of a separate phyllogenetic origin of the supernumerary nucleus.     

Studies on aneuploids of Petunia

Summary The seven possible primary trisomics of Petunia (2 n= 14) located in the progenies of triploid, hypertriploid and hypotriploid plants were distinguished from one another and from diploid on the basis of cytological and morphological criteria. They were provisionally named as Oval, Semi, Slender, Pseudonormal, Arrow, Narrow and Giant. In three of the trisomics, the extra chromosome was identified for the first time at pachytene stage. Postpachytene studies revealed no precise relationship between the length of extra chromosome and the frequency of multiple association.     

Differences between genetic and physical centromere distances in the case of two genes for male sterility in barley

Summary Linkage studies with thirty translocations (one of the two chromosomes involved being number 4) in relation to msg24 (chromosome 4) and thirteen translocations (one of the two chromosomes involved being number 6) in relation to msg6 (chromosome 6) show without exception close linkage for all combinations tested. The results indicate that both genes are located genetically in or close to the centromere regions of their chromosomes.Cytological analysis of two BTT stocks (balanced tertiary trisomics) ascertained the respective chromosome arms (both msg24 and msg6 on the short arms) and revealed marked differences between genetic and physical centromere distances. The reason is obviously the high content of centromeric heterochromatin occupying both the chromosome arms involved.     

Relationships of Agropyron intermedium chromosomes determined by chromosome pairing and alcohol dehydrogenase isozymes in common wheat background

Summary The relationships of Agropyron intermedium chromosomes in two wheat-Agropyron addition series were determined. Chromosome pairing behaviour revealed that the alien chromosome in lines TAF-2 and L7 of Vilmorin-A. intermedium set are homologous to the alien chromosomes in lines P and C of the Caribo-A. intermedium set respectively. Localization of alcohol dehydrogenase isozyme genes in Vilmorin-Agropyron addition line L4 and in Caribo-Agropyron line O indicated relationships with wheat chromosomes of homoeologous group 4.     

Chromosome numbers and differentiation of centrospermous families

The patterns of variation of chromosome numbers in theCentrospermae suggest a common ancestry of centrospermous anthocyanin and betalain families. Phylogenetic divergence in the order may have originated with progenitors similar to extantMolluginaceae, Aizoaceae orPhytolaccaceae taxa with x = 9. Evolutionary radiation and advancement in several lines then seems to have been paralleled by trends for increasing chromosome base numbers through dysploidy and polyploidy, e.g. towardsCaryophyllaceae, Portulacaceae-Basellaceae, Hectorellaceae, Cactaceae, Didieraceae, Nyctaginaceae andChenopodiaceae-Amaranthaceae. Presented in the Symposium Evolution of Centrospermous Families, during the XIIth International Botanical Congress, Leningrad, July 8, 1975.     

水稻染色体标本制备的风油精法

水稻的染色体较小,不同的染色体在形态上较难区分。常规的压片技术由于很难使染色体分散,且也不能完全排除细胞质的干扰,因而很不适用于水稻染色体核型分析及显带。Kurata 等(1978)采用酶解与火焰干燥技术制备水稻染色体标本,获得清晰的染色体图象,从而成功地进行了水稻染色体的核型分析。陈瑞阳等(1982)参照人类染色体     

Simple sequence repeat genetic linkage maps of A-genome diploid cotton (Gossypium arboreum)

This study introduces the construction of the first intraspacific genetic linkage map of the A-genome diploid cotton with newly developed simple sequence repeat (SSR) markers using 189 F2 plants derived from the cross of two Asiatic parents were detected using 6 092 pairs of SSR primers. Two-hundred and sixty-eight pairs of SSR pdmers with better polymorphisms were picked out to analyze the F2 population. In total, 320 polymorphic bands were generated and used to construct a linkage map with JoinMap3.0. Two-hundred and sixty-seven loci, Including three phenotypic traits were mapped at a logarithms of odds ratio (LOD) ≥ 3.0 on 13 linkage groups. The total length of the map was 2 508.71 cM, and the average distance between adjacent markers was 9.40 cM. Chromosome assignments were according to the association of linkages with our backbone tetraploid specific map using the 89 similar SSR loci. Comparisons among the 13 suites of orthologous linkage groups revealed that the A-genome chromosomes are largely collinear with the At and Dt sub-genome chromosomes. Chromosomes associated with inversions suggested that allopolyploidization was accompanied by homologous chromosomal rearrangement. The inter-chromosomal duplicated loci supply molecular evidence that the A-genome diploid Asiatic cotton is paleopolyploid.
