A cytogenetic study of R. constantinopolitanus and R. sericeus (Ranunculaceae) in Iran

With 600 species Ranunculus is the largest genus in Ranunculaceae, and has a broad global distribution. We studied the karyotypes of R. constantinopolitanus and R. sericeus species of Ranunculaceae and identified their symmetry level. New chromosome numbers of 2n = 21 (Nodeh woods population) and 2n ca. 63 (Javaherdeh population) are reported for R. constantinopolitanus. Two different populations of R. sericeus had two different chromosome results. We investigated morphological and karyological studies along with pollens micromorphology. Different populations of R. constantinopolitanus and R. sericeus, with different chromosome numbers showed morphological and micromorphological differences. Therefore, we considered the two populations of R. sericeus as cytotypes. There was a correlation between the studied morphological characters and pollen size with ploidy levels in the two R. constantinopolitanus populations.     

拟青霉属虫生真菌核型的脉冲电泳分析

利用钳位均匀电场脉冲电泳系统,从电泳的时间、角度、电压、转换时间间隔等方面优化电泳参数,确定了适宜拟青霉属内4种虫生真菌染色体DNA电泳的最佳条件。根据电泳及软件分析结果,估算出斜链拟青霉和环链拟青霉的染色体数目和染色体组型大小,即核型(karyotype)特征。通过进行拟青霉属内4种7株虫生真菌染色体DNA核型相关的比较和分析,表明拟青霉菌种间染色体数目差异较小,核型差异较大;相同菌种不同菌株间的染色体数、核型大小并不完全相同,存在不同程度的差异;且菌株间核型大小差异程度明显小于菌种间的差异程度。     

中国水仙的核型分析和小孢子发生中的细胞学研究

中国水仙(Narcissustazettavar.chinensis)只开花不结实,以鳞茎营养繁殖。对中国水仙的染色体倍性有不同的报道。对中国水仙的核型分析,支持它是三倍体的观点,但其核型也显示出了异源三倍体的倾向。在小孢子母细胞减数分裂过程中,染色体的异常行为多表现为:中期出现单个染色体游离在纺锤体外面、在后期出现的染色体桥和落后染色体、在末期出现的单个染色体游离在细胞核外形成微核的现象。这些异常现象引起小孢子的败育,也支持中国水仙为三倍体植物的观点。     

唇形科独一味属和五种糙苏属植物的核形态研究

首次报道了唇形科Lamiaceae独一味属Lamiophlomis和五种糙苏属Phlomis植物的染色体数目和核型。它们的间期核均属球状前染色体型,有丝分裂前期染色体均为中间型。中期染色体核型公式如下:独一味L.rotata,2n=2x=22=18m 4sm;糙苏P.umbrosa,2n=2x=22=22m;裂萼糙苏P.ruptilis,2n=2x=22=22m;假秦艽P.betonicoides,2n=2x=22=22m;黑花糙苏P.melanantha,2n=2x=22=22m(2sat);糙毛糙苏P.strigosa,2n=6x=66=60m 6sm;染色体基数均为x=11。这表明独一味与糙苏属的糙苏组sect.Phlomoides植物具有相同的染色体基数,反映出两者较为密切的系统演化关系,推断独一味很可能是糙苏属的一个种。     

菝葜属和肖菝葜属的核型变异和系统演化研究

基于体细胞染色体核型及花序特征对菝葜科Smilacaceae菝葜属Smilax和肖菝葜属Heterosmilax进行了系统演化研究,报道了国产菝葜科17个分类群的核型。根据已研究的部分形态学特征和已有的核型和分子序列资料,对它们的系统进化进行了分析。结果显示：（1）整个类群的核型变异表现在二型化、多倍化、染色体的微变异以及染色体基数递减（从16-15-13）,16为菝葜类群的基本染色体基数。（2）草本菝葜的核型对称性在东亚到北美种类中,表现出从对称到不对称的变化,而木本菝葜的各组间并未表现出这种趋势。（3）先出叶（prophy11）是宿存的芽鳞,因此在菝葜组sect．China和土茯苓组sect．Coilanthus中具花序的分枝（该分枝基部具先出叶）与圆锥菝葜组sect．Macranthae和穗菝葜组sect．Smilax中着生叶腋的花序分枝或者具关节的单伞形花序是同源的;结合ITS资料,推测花序原始类型是具伞形花序无总花梗呈穗状排列的种类。从祖先类型,花序的分化朝两个方向：一为菝葜属的菝葜组和土茯苓组以及肖菝葜属的全部种类为代表的生于叶腋的单伞形花序,另一为菝葜属的圆锥菝葜组sect．Macranthae的全部种类构成的圆锥．伞形花序。（4）肖菝葜属的核型和ITS数据都表明其为非单系类群,与草本菝葜和土茯苓组成员为姐妹群,首次发现花被2／3联合的过渡类型——筐条菝葜S.corbularia,建议将肖菝葜属降为亚属,置于菝葜属。（5）核型特点支持草本菝葜是东亚起源,扩展到北美,与土茯苓组种类有共同祖先．来自于x=16的木本菝葜,赞同恢复草本组sect．Nemexia。（6）在广布种菝葜S.china中首次发现二倍体居群,已知其存在3种倍性（2x、4x和6x）,发现不同倍性居群的分布规律,推测在第三纪至更新世中期日本、台湾岛与大陆分离之前,菝葜的叙居群已广泛分布,而目前广泛分布的缸居群是岛屿与大陆分离后形靠的。（7）我国西南是菝葜科现代分布和分化中心。     

六个石蒜居群的核型及四倍体石蒜的发现

染色体与核型的变化是植物系统发育和进化的一个重要方面。石蒜属Lycoris植物特别是石蒜L.radiata在染色体数目和核型上存在较大的变异。通过对不同居群的石蒜核型研究,可以为石蒜和石蒜属植物的核型演化及演化机制提供一些重要的基础资料。本文对分布于中国安徽省和浙江省的6个石蒜居群进行了细胞学研究。结果表明,6个石蒜居群的染色体数目和核型分别为：霍山居群2n=44=28st＋8t＋8T,2n=22=6st＋12t＋4T;黄山居群2n=22=22t,2n=22=18st＋4t,2n=21=12st＋7t＋2T;滁州居群2n=33=33t;马鞍山居群2n=33=18st＋15T,2n=25=1m＋20st＋2t＋2T;宣城居群2n=22=20st＋2T,2n=21=1m＋20st;杭州居群2n=22=12st＋4t＋6T,2n=21=18st＋3t。其中,部分居群的核型类型为首次报道;并首次发现了四倍体的石蒜居群。此外,对石蒜的核型进化和多倍体起源进行了初步探讨。     

岱衢洋大黄鱼染色体核型分析

为补充岱衢洋海域产大黄鱼(Pseudosciaena crocea)的细胞遗传学数据,采用植物血球凝集素(8~10μg/g)及秋水仙素(1~2μg/g)活体腹腔注射培养,头肾细胞制片、空气干燥法制作染色体标本,显微观察象山港网箱养殖的岱衢洋产大黄鱼的染色体核型,用Micromeasure3.3软件测量染色体相对长度与臂比。结果显示,岱衢洋大黄鱼二倍体染色体数目为48,核型公式为2n=24st+24t,NF=48,染色体相对长度最长为5.53,最短为2.60,未发现异型染色体和随体。本研究的岱衢洋产大黄鱼染色体核型与以往报道的大黄鱼核型存在差异。     

Karyotype evolution in apomictic Boechera and the origin of the aberrant chromosomes

Chromosome rearrangements may result in both decrease and increase of chromosome numbers. Here we have used comparative chromosome painting (CCP) to reconstruct the pathways of descending and ascending dysploidy in the genus Boechera (tribe Boechereae, Brassicaceae). We describe the origin and structure of three Boechera genomes and establish the origin of the previously described aberrant Het and Del chromosomes found in Boechera apomicts with euploid (2n = 14) and aneuploid (2n = 15) chromosome number. CCP analysis allowed us to reconstruct the origin of seven chromosomes in sexual B. stricta and apomictic B. divaricarpa from the ancestral karyotype (n = 8) of Brassicaceae lineage I. Whereas three chromosomes (BS4, BS6, and BS7) retained their ancestral structure, five chromosomes were reshuffled by reciprocal translocations to form chromosomes BS1‐BS3 and BS5. The reduction of the chromosome number (from x = 8 to x = 7) was accomplished through the inactivation of a paleocentromere on chromosome BS5. In apomictic 2n = 14 plants, CCP identifies the largely heterochromatic chromosome (Het) being one of the BS1 homologues with the expansion of pericentromeric heterochromatin. In apomictic B. polyantha (2n = 15), the Het has undergone a centric fission resulting in two smaller chromosomes – the submetacentric Het′ and telocentric Del. Here we show that new chromosomes can be formed by a centric fission and can be fixed in populations due to the apomictic mode of reproduction.
