烟草属花粉—叶肉原生质体的融合及杂种植株再生

用饥饿预处理分离烟草（Ｎｉｃｏｔｉａｎａ ｔａｂａｃｕｍ Ｌ．）品系Ｎ３６４ Ｋｍ ＋ 二核早中期的花粉原生质体,用ＰＥＧ－高钙高ｐＨ 法诱导其与黄花烟草（Ｎ．ｒｕｓｔｉｃａ Ｌ．）叶肉原生质体融合。通过抗性筛选再生的４ 株小植株,经过氧化物酶同工酶、根尖染色体计数鉴定均为配子－体细胞三倍体杂种。未经筛选处理再生的２１株小植株,经鉴定有６ 株为配子－体细胞杂种。     

芸苔属花粉—下胚轴原生质体融合再生杂种小植株

从青菜（Ｂｒａｓｓｉｃａ ｃｈｉｎｅｎｓｉｓＬ．）单胞中后期至二胞早期花粉分离出原生质体,用聚乙二醇法诱导其与甘蓝型油菜（Ｂ．ｎａｐｕｓＬ．）下胚轴原生质体融合。通过控制双亲原生质体的数量与比率,提高了异源融合率。融合体在离体条件下发生细胞分裂,形成愈伤组织,再生了小植株。染色体计数与酯酶同工酶酶谱分析初步证明获得了１ 株异源三倍体,２ 株异源四倍体。这是以游离花粉时期的原生质体与体细胞原生质体融合,取得“配子－体细胞杂交”成功的首次报道     

Chemical agents that inhibit pollen development: tools for research

Summary Several unrelated compounds are known to selectively inhibit the development of the male gametophyte. When applied at suitable dosages to plants at the appropriate stages of anther development, these substances block the formation of fertile pollen. The affected stage of pollen development is characteristic of the specific chemical structure of the compound, ranging from effects on microspore meiosis to the formation of pollen defective in the ability to germinate or fertilize. The range of effects mediated by these substances, and by known male-sterile mutants, indicates that microspore development has several critical phases that are particularly sensitive to fatal inhibition. We propose that chemical inhibitors of pollen development deserve attention as tools for elucidating the regulation of pollen development.
