Broadening the genetic base of the C genome of Brassica napus canola by use of B. oleracea is important. In this study, the prospect of developing B. napus canola lines from B. napus?×?B. oleracea var. alboglabra, botrytis, italica and capitata crosses and the effect of backcrossing the F1’s to B. napus were investigated. The efficiency of the production of the F1’s varied depending on the B. oleracea variant used in the cross. Fertility of the F1 plants was low—produced, on average, about 0.7 F2 seeds per self-pollination and similar number of BC1 seeds on backcrossing to B. napus. The F3 population showed greater fertility than the BC1F2; however, this difference diminished with the advancement of generation. The advanced generation populations, whether derived from F2 or BC1, showed similar fertility and produced similar size silique with similar number of seeds per silique. Progeny of all F1’s and BC1’s stabilized into B. napus, although B. oleracea plant was expected, especially in the progeny of F1 (ACC) owing to elimination of the A chromosomes during meiosis. Segregation distortion for erucic acid alleles occurred in both F2 and BC1 resulting significantly fewer zero-erucic plants than expected; however, plants with?≤?15% erucic acid frequently yielded zero-erucic progeny. No consistent correlation between parent and progeny generation was found for seed glucosinolate content; however, selection for this trait was effective and B. napus canola lines were obtained from all crosses. Silique length showed positive correlation with seed set; the advanced generation populations, whether derived from F2 or BC1, were similar for these traits. SSR marker analysis showed that genetically diverse canola lines can be developed by using different variants of B. oleracea in B. napus?×?B. oleracea interspecific crosses.  相似文献

The reduction in atmospheric inputs of SO 4 2- as a result of stricter regulations of sulfur emission and the depletion in sulfur reserves following the intensification of agricultural production has caused a serious decrease in soil S-concentration. This would markedly affect growth and quality of numerous economically important plants. Foeniculum vulgare or fennel is one of the most cultivated aromatic and medicinal plants, mostly used for their powerful therapeutic effects. Being one of the cultivated species, Foeniculum vulgare could be affected by environmental disturbances like sulfur deficiency. In this work, the poor sulfur supply had a serious impact on the therapeutic quality of fennel seed extracts. At the application of sulfur deficiency, total phenolic compounds of fennel seeds extract decreased by 30% and their total antioxidant activity decreased by 21%. Sulfur starvation also reduced the antibacterial activity of fennel seeds against Staphylococcus aureus, Enterococcus faecalis, and Pseudomonas aeruginosa by increasing the MIC of seed extracts.  相似文献

The germplasm of valuable for breeding wild allotetraploid potato species Solanum stoloniferum is rarely used because of pre- and postzygotic reproductive barriers with cultivated potatoes. One of the factors that complicate crosses between S. stoloniferum and S. tuberosum is unilateral incompatibility (UI). Here, we present the results of application of S. verrucosum and S v S v -lines for overcoming UI in crosses with S. stoloniferum and of generating male fertile hybrids derived from this species. S v S v -lines are F2 S. tuberosum dihaploid × S. verrucosum that are male fertile and have D/γ-type cytoplasm. Since they are homozygous for S v gene from S. verrucosum, they were expected to have the same ability for elimination of prezygotic incompatibility as this species. Three accessions of S. verrucosum and seven S v S v -lines were pollinated by 26 accessions of S. stoloniferum. The crosses with S. verrucosum failed or had low efficacy (1.5–2.4 seeds per pollination). On the other hand, use of S v S v -lines was more efficient: 15.8 seeds per pollination. In spite of low percentage of germination (1.9%), 40 seedlings of interspecific hybrids were produced. The experiment on hybridization between S v S v -lines and S. stoloniferum has been reproduced with the accession PI 205522 of the wild species, which had DNA markers of PVY and LB resistance genes and W/γ cytoplasm: 950 hybrid seeds and 12 viable seedlings were produced. The genome of the seedlings was doubled by colchicine treatment, which generated hexaploids that formed highly fertile pollen and set seeds from self-pollination. We were able to cross them as females with the variety Katahdin.  相似文献

Wild Cicer species are considered to be more resistant for biotic and abiotic stresses than that of the cultivated chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.). Alien genes conferring resistance for biotic and abiotic stresses can be transferred from wild Cicer species to the cultivated chickpea but success in interspecific hybridizations has already been achieved with only two wild Cicer species. The current study was undertaken to compare fruitful heterosis in F2 and F3 for yield and yield criteria and to identify transgressive segregation in F2 and F3 in reciprocal interspecific crosses between C. arietinum and C. reticulatum Ladiz. We define fruitful heterosis as a useful parameter that can be used instead of residual heterosis. Considerable fruitful heterosis in F2 and F3 was found for number of seeds, pods per plant, biological yield, and seed yield. Maximum values of most of the characteristics in F2 and F3 were higher than that of the best parent indicating that superior progeny could be selected for yield from transgressive segregation. Progeny selection should be based on number of seeds, pods per plant, and biological yield since these characteristics had the highest direct effect on seed yield. The narrow sense heritability was found to be the highest for 100-seed weight. It was suggested that the cultivated chickpea could be used as female parent in interspecific hybridization to increase yield and yield criteria since progeny in F2 and F3 had better performance when it was used as female. In conclusion, interspecific hybridization of wild and cultivated chickpea can be used to improve yield and yield components and resistance to biotic and abiotic stresses as well.  相似文献

Striga is an important parasitic weed causing substantial economic losses in cereal and legume crop production in sub-Saharan Africa. Integrated Striga management approaches such as a combined use of Striga resistant varieties and Fusarium oxysporum f.sp. strigae (FOS), a biocontrol agent of Striga, are an option to control the parasite and to boost sorghum productivity. Understanding host gene action influencing Striga resistance, with or without FOS treatment, is key to developing improved sorghum varieties with durable resistance and high yield. The objective of this study was to determine the gene action and inheritance of Striga resistance using genetically diverse populations of sorghum involving FOS treatment. Twelve sorghum parents selected for Striga resistance, FOS compatibility or superior agronomic performances were crossed using a bi-parental mating scheme. The selected male and female parents and their F1 progenies, backcross derivatives and the F2 segregants were field evaluated at three locations in Tanzania known for their severe Striga infestations using a lattice experimental design with two replications. The following data were collected and subjected to generation mean analysis (GMA): days-to-50% flowering (DFL), seed yield per plant (SYP) and number of Striga per plant (SN). GMA showed the preponderance of additive genetic action contributing to the total genetic variation in the evaluated sorghum populations. The additive genetic effect for DFL, SYP and SN, with and without FOS treatments, ranged from 72.02 to 86.65% and 41.49 to 95.44%, 75.62 to 91.42% and 71.83 to 91.89%, and 77.35 to 93.56% and 72.86 to 95.84%, in that order. The contribution of non-additive genetic effects was minimal and varied among generations. FOS application reduced DFL and SN and improved SYP in most of the tested sorghum populations. DFL of sorghum populations was reduced by a mean of 8 days under FOS treatment compared to the untreated control in families such as 675 × 654, AS435 × AS426 and 1563 × AS436. FOS treatment improved SYP with a mean of 6.44 g plant?1 in 3424 × 3993 and 3984 × 672. The numbers of Striga plants were reduced with a mean of 16 plants due to FOS treatment in the crosses of 675 × 654, 1563 × AS436, 4567 × AS424, and 3984 × 672. The study demonstrated that additive genes were predominantly responsible for the inheritance of Striga resistance in sorghum. Pure line cultivar development targeting reduced DFL, SN and high SYP in the selected populations may provide enhanced response to selection for integrated Striga management (ISM) programme.  相似文献

The development of rapeseed cultivars (Brassica napus L.) with high oleic acid and low linolenic acid is highly desirable for food and industrial applications. In this study, the Korean rapeseed cultivar Tamla was used for ethyl methanesulfonate (EMS)-induced mutagenesis and seed oils were screened up to generation M7 for high oleate mutants. Two mutant populations (M7) with an average of approximately 76% oleic acid content were isolated. Yield components between two mutant populations and untreated Tamla plants were not substantially different, although the mutants in the vegetative stage were slightly smaller in size than Tamla. Genomic analyses of six fatty acid desaturase (four FAD2 and two FAD6) genes revealed that the elevated oleic acid content in the mutants is the result of single gene mutations. Changes in DNA sequence were observed in two genes out of six fatty acid desaturase (four FAD2 and two FAD6). FAD2-2 exhibited a 2-bp deletion in the upstream region of the gene in the two mutants, resulting in a severely truncated polypeptide (57 aa instead of 469 aa), while six point mutations in the other gene did not result in changes in the amino acid sequence. Based on these results, FAD2-2, an endoplasmic reticulum (ER) oleic acid desaturase, is affected in the mutants, resulting in a ~ 7% increase in oleic acid content in comparison to untreated Tamla plants. The induced mutants could be utilized for the development of high oleic oil rapeseed varieties and for regulatory studies of lipid metabolism in seed oils.  相似文献

Organic dormancy, the inability to germinate under favorable conditions, is a common problem in many crop species and their wild relatives, leading to more variable emergence, plant density, and growth rates, thus increasing costs, and lowering yield. To overcome these problems, several different methods have been developed for various crop and model plants. However, in the emerging crop being bred from wild and semi-domesticated Silphium, no such method has been established thus far. The objective of this study was to identify a dormancy-breaking assay to increase the seed germination rate. Seeds of three different Silphium integrifolium Michx. genotypes were treated with five chemical and one cold treatment, and dried before or after the treatment at 27 °C or 40 °C. Untreated, dried seeds were taken as control. Seeds soaked for 24 h in a ethephon/potassium nitrate solution followed by a 72 h drying step at 40 °C showed an increase of germination to up to 90?±?2% compared to control seeds (3?±?0% and 5?±?1%). We identified the minimum time frame of cold stratification needed to enhance seed germination in Silphium, and found that cold stratification was nearly as good as the chemical treatment. Our results provide two alternate ways to treat S. integrifolium seeds for breaking organic dormancy, which will help to facilitate future research in the Silphium domestication community. The fact that our optimal treatments were similar to protocols developed for sunflower suggests that these methods may also be applicable to many related economically important Asteraceae species.  相似文献

Compact growth is an important quality criterion in horticulture. Many Campanula species and cultivars exhibit elongated growth which is suppressed by chemical retardation and cultural practice during production to accommodate to the consumer’s desire. The production of compact plants via transformation with wild type Agrobacterium rhizogenes is an approach with great potential to produce plants that are non-GMO. Efficient transformation and regeneration procedures vary widely among both plant genera and species. Here we present a transformation protocol for Campanula. Hairy roots were produced on 26–90% of the petioles that were used for transformation of C. portenschlagiana (Cp), a C. takesimana × C. punctata hybrid (Chybr) and C. glomerata (Cg). Isolated hairy roots grew autonomously and vigorously without added hormones. The Cg hairy roots produced chlorophyll and generated plantlets in response to treatments with cytokinin (42 µM 2iP) and auxin (0.67 µM NAA). In contrast, regeneration attempts of transformed Cp and Chybr roots lead neither to the production of chlorophyll nor to the regeneration of shoots. Agropine A. rhizogenes strains integrate split T-DNA in TL- and TR-DNA fragments into the plant genome. In this study, regenerated plants of Cg did not contain TR-DNA, indicating that a selective pressure against this T-DNA fragment may exist in Campanula.  相似文献

The genus Psidium includes important fruit crops. However, there are very few studies focusing on its reproductive biology, which limits the establishment of breeding programs. The present work investigated the reproductive biology of Psidium guajava and Psidium cattleianum in terms of compatibility of crossings between these two species aiming at interspecific hybridization because the latter species is an important source of resistance against the nematode Meloidogyne enterolobii. Several types of crosses were performed to understand the reproductive biology of these species, including the compatibility of intra- and interspecific crossings, using assisted in vivo germination of pollen grains on the stigma. In addition, the in vitro germination of both Psidium species was studied at different stages of fruit development to rescue young seeds to improve the chances of obtaining the hybrids. No fruits of 270 pollinations were obtained on guava buds at the pre-anthesis stage, regardless of the source of the pollen grain and the cultivar used as female genotype. Microscopic analyzes demonstrated the germination of pollen grains and pollen tube growth at crosses between guava cv. ‘Pedro Sato’ (P. guajava) and Psidium cattleianum. High germination percentages of Psidium cattleianum seeds were obtained in MS medium without sucrose or containing 15 g/L of this carbohydrate.  相似文献

To better understand the underlying mechanisms of agronomic traits related to drought resistance and discover candidate genes or chromosome segments for drought-tolerant rice breeding, a fundamental introgression population, BC3, derived from the backcross of local upland rice cv. Haogelao (donor parent) and super yield lowland rice cv. Shennong265 (recurrent parent) had been constructed before 2006. Previous quantitative trait locus (QTL) mapping results using 180 and 94 BC3F6,7 rice introgression lines (ILs) with 187 and 130 simple sequence repeat (SSR) markers for agronomy and physiology traits under drought in the field have been reported in 2009 and 2012, respectively. In this report, we conducted further QTL mapping for grain yield component traits under water-stressed (WS) and well-watered (WW) field conditions during 3 years (2012, 2013 and 2014). We used 62 SSR markers, 41 of which were newly screened, and 492 BC4F2,4 core lines derived from the fourth backcross between D123, an elite drought-tolerant IL (BC3F7), and Shennong265. Under WS conditions, a total of 19 QTLs were detected, all of which were associated with the new SSRs. Each QTL was only identified in 1 year and one site except for qPL-12-1 and qPL-5, which additively increased panicle length under drought stress. qPL-12-1 was detected in 2013 between new marker RM1337 and old marker RM3455 (34.39 cM) and was a major QTL with high reliability and 15.36% phenotypic variance. qPL-5 was a minor QTL detected in 2013 and 2014 between new marker RM5693 and old marker RM3476. Two QTLs for plant height (qPHL-3-1 and qPHP-12) were detected under both WS and WW conditions in 1 year and one site. qPHL-3-1, a major QTL from Shennong265 for decreasing plant height of leaf located on chromosome 3 between two new markers, explained 22.57% of phenotypic variation with high reliability under WS conditions. On the contrary, qPHP-12 was a minor QTL for increasing plant height of panicle from Haogelao on chromosome 12. Except for these two QTLs, all other 17 QTLs mapped under WS conditions were not mapped under WW conditions; thus, they were all related to drought tolerance. Thirteen QTLs mapped from Haogelao under WS conditions showed improved drought tolerance. However, a major QTL for delayed heading date from Shennong265, qDHD-12, enhanced drought tolerance, was located on chromosome 12 between new marker RM1337 and old marker RM3455 (11.11 cM), explained 21.84% of phenotypic variance and showed a negative additive effect (shortening delay days under WS compared with WW). Importantly, chromosome 12 was enriched with seven QTLs, five of which, including major qDHD-12, congregated near new marker RM1337. In addition, four of the seven QTLs improved drought resistance and were located between RM1337 and RM3455, including three minor QTLs from Haogelao for thousand kernel weight, tiller number and panicle length, respectively, and the major QTL qDHD-12 from Shennong265. These results strongly suggested that the newly screened RM1337 marker may be used for marker-assisted selection (MAS) in drought-tolerant rice breeding and that there is a pleiotropic gene or cluster of genes linked to drought tolerance. Another major QTL (qTKW-1-2) for increasing thousand kernel weight from Haogelao was also identified under WW conditions. These results are helpful for MAS in rice breeding and drought-resistant gene cloning.  相似文献

The success of breeding for barley leaf rust (BLR) resistance relies on regular discovery, characterization and mapping of new resistance sources. Greenhouse and field studies revealed that the barley cultivars Baronesse, Patty and RAH1995 carry good levels of adult plant resistance (APR) to BLR. Doubled haploid populations [(Baronesse/Stirling (B/S), Patty/Tallon (P/T) and RAH1995/Baudin (R/B)] were investigated in this study to understand inheritance and map resistance to BLR. The seedlings of two populations (B/S and R/B) segregated for leaf rust response that conformed to a single gene ratio (\({\text{X}}_{1:1}^{2}\) = 0.12, P > 0.7 for B/S and \({\text{X}}_{1:1}^{2}\) = 0.34, P > 0.5 for R/B) whereas seedlings of third population (P/T) segregated for two-gene ratio (\({\text{X}}_{1:1}^{2}\) = 0.17, P > 0.6) when tested in greenhouse. It was concluded that the single gene in Baudin and one of the two genes in Tallon is likely Rph12, whereas gene responsible for seedling resistance in Stirling is Rph9.am (allele of Rph12). The second seedling gene in Tallon is uncharacterized. In the field, APR was noted in lines that were susceptible as seedlings. A range of disease responses (CI 5–90) was observed in all three populations. Marker trait association analysis detected three QTLs each in populations B/S (QRph.sun-2H.1, QRph.sun-5H.1 and QRph.sun-6H.1) and R/B (QRph.sun-1H, QRph.sun-2H.2, QRph.sun-3H and QRph.sun-6H.2), and four QTLs in population P/T (QRph.sun-6H.2, QRph.sun-1H.2, QRph.sun-5H.2 and QRph.sun-7H) that significantly contributed to low leaf rust disease coefficients. High frequency of QRph. sun-5H.1, QRph. sun-6H.1, QRph. sun-1H.1, QRph. sun-2H.2, QRph. sun-6H.2, QRph. sun-7H (based on presence of the marker, closely associated to the respective QTLs) was observed in international commercial barley germplasm and hence providing an opportunity for rapid integration into breeding programmes. The identified candidate markers closely linked to these QTLs will assist in selecting and assembling new APR gene combinations; expectantly this will help in achieving good levels of durable resistance for controlling BLR.  相似文献

Ogura cytoplasmic male sterility (Ogu-CMS) is widely used in the production of commercial hybrids of Brassica oleracea. However, the widespread application of the Ogu-CMS system in B. oleracea has hindered the germplasm innovation of Ogu-CMS resources due to the lack of a natural restorer line. Previously, the Ogu-CMS fertility-restored interspecific hybrids between rapeseed 15Y403 (2n = 38, AACC) and Chinese kale JL1 (2n = 18, CC) have been successfully produced. However, these progenies, which still contained a large proportion of rapeseed genomic components, showed poor fertility and a low seed setting rate under natural pollination. To improve fertility and seed setting, a successive backcross with JL1 was performed to produce BC2 progenies. Screening with the Rfo-specific marker, five individuals harboring the Rfo gene were identified among 98 BC2 progenies. These five individuals underwent background marker screening and an evaluation of agronomic traits and fertility. One individual (code: 15Q23) was identified with higher pollen viability, better seed setting under natural pollination, and a closer genetic background to the parent Chinese kale JL1. Many morphological traits showed no significant differences (P < 0.05) between 15Q23 and the backcross parent JL1. However, the average seed setting of 15Q23 under natural pollination was 0.72 seeds per pod, which was 50 times higher than that of BC1 progenies, and the average pollen viability was 87.07%, which was significantly better than that of the F1 and BC1 plants (P < 0.01). The genetic background of 15Q23 was more closer to the parent JL1 than that of BC1 plants and another BC2 fertility-restored individual, with 82% of the polymorphic alleles being the same as those of the parent Chinese kale JL1. Thus, the individual 15Q23 could be used as a donor plant for further backcrosses. This study lays the foundation for the development of Ogu-CMS restorer material in B. oleracea.  相似文献

Wheat grain yield and protein content are significantly influenced by the onset of senescence and the duration of the grain filling phase. The onset of senescence also affects Nitrogen use efficiency (NUE) through interacting pathways involving N accumulation and translocation of N into the grains. The objective of this study was to relate variation in NUE and its components with two groups of the NAM-A1 gene alleles; (i) early onset of senescence in cultivars carrying the NAM-A1a allele, (ii) delayed onset of senescence in cultivars carrying the Non-NAM-A1a allele (b, c, d) in wheat cultivars grown under Western Australia conditions. A field trial was carried out over two seasons examining 19 cultivars under different N rates and time of N application. The Normalized Difference Vegetation Index was utilized to determine the onset of senescence after anthesis. The early onset of senescence results in high grain yield, harvest index, and NUE due to improvements in the N utilization ability. Accelerating the onset of senescence results in a short grain filling period leading to grain maturity before the onset of unfavourable summer conditions. The function of alleles of NAM-A1 gene in controlling senescence hence the NUE is highly regulated by environmental conditions. This study concluded that the function of NAM-A1a allele induces the onset of senescence with a positive effect on the NUE and its components under Western Australian conditions.  相似文献

Overwhelming evidence points to an American origin for the sweet potato Ipomoea batatas (L.) Lam. Attempts have been made to identify related diploid species from Mexico, and to use these in hybridisation experiments with I. batatas. The sweet potato is a poor seed setter but abundant bloom occurs in Jamaica very late in the year. Attempts at hybridisation between I. batatas (2n=90) and I. trichocarpa (Elliott) (2n=30) or I. gracilis (2n=30) has been tolerably successful. A very high degree of self-incompatibility was demonstrated in all three species investigated but successful crosses were made using different plants of I. trichocarpa. An investigation of pollen viability showed that in all cases pollen could germinate but pollen tube growth was abnormal in incompatible pollinations. I. trichocarpa hybridised readily with I. batatas when the former was used as female parent. Embryo development in such a cross proceeded slowly, and stopped before cotyledon formation. No viable seeds were obtained. A comparison of embryo development in hybrid and normal seeds brought to light anomalies in development and structure of endosperm and maternal tissue in the hybrid.  相似文献

Rice seed storability is an important characteristic of seed quality so that the cultivars with strong seed storability are expected in the production of hybrid seeds. Presently, little is known about the genetic and physiological mechanisms controlling rice seed storability. In this study, a double haploid population derived from the cross between a japonica cultivar CJ06 and an indica cultivar TN1 was used to identify the quantitative trait loci (QTLs) for seed germination percentage (GP) and fatty acid content (FA) during natural storage or artificial aging. A total of 19 QTLs, including ten QTLs for GP and nine QTLs for FA, were identified on nine chromosomes with the phenotypic variations ranged from 2.1 to 22.7%. Besides, six and three pairs of epistatic interactions were identified for GP and FA, respectively. Moreover, qGP-9, a QTL for germination percentage, was delimited in an interval of 92.8 kb between two STS markers P6 and P8, which contains 15 putative open reading frames. These results provide important information for understanding the genetic mechanisms on rice seed storability, and will be useful for breeding new rice varieties with high seed storability.  相似文献

The individual segregations of 14 seed protein loci named, SpA to SpM and Pha (phaseolin), were analyzed in a RIL population developed from the cross Xana × Cornell 49242. These seed protein loci were included in a genetic map previously developed in the same population. Protein loci, SpA, SpB, SpE, SpI, SpJ, and Pha, are organized in two different clusters, both located in linkage group (LG) 7; SpF, SpG, SpK, SpL, and SpM, form a single cluster in LG 4; SpC, is located in LG 3; and SpD, in LG 1. A close linkage was identified between the SpD seed protein locus, and the fin gene, controlling determinate growth habit. The usefulness of the SpD locus as a marker for the indirect selection of determinate growth habit and photoperiod insensitivity was checked in a F2 population derived from the cross G12587 (an indeterminate and photoperiod sensitive nuña bean) × Sanilac (determinate and photoperiod insensitive) and in a set of Mesoamerican and Andean genotypes. Results indicate that SpD protein locus was useful to detect individuals having determinate growth habit and photoperiod insensitivity in the cross G12587 × Salinac although some recombinants were found. However, the linkage between the SpD locus and the genes controlling growth habit and photoperiod sensitivity should be checked before using the SpD locus for the indirect selection of these traits in different backgrounds.  相似文献

The yellow-green leaf color mutant (Ygm) is a spontaneous mutant derived from the common wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) cultivar Xinong1718. Genetic analysis has shown that a novel single incompletely dominant gene (Y1718) is responsible for the yellow leaf color phenotype. The progeny of Ygm exhibit three distinct leaf color phenotypes, i.e., yellow (Y), yellow-green (Yg), and normal green (G). Y plants have yellow-green leaves in the seedling stage, which become yellow or a strong gold-yellow in the booting stage, with dwarfism and thin tillers until the flowering stage, and underdeveloped thylakoid membranes without well-structured grana in the chloroplasts. Yg plants always have a yellow-green phenotype with a number of well-structured grana that are loosely connected with stroma lamellae in the chloroplasts, where their main agronomic traits are the same as Xinong1718 and G plants, but the seed yield is low. Compared with Xinong1718 and G plants, Y and Yg plants had much lower chlorophyll (Chl) a, Chl b, and carotenoid contents in the booting stage. Molecular analysis using an F2 population and F2:3 lines derived from a cross of Yg and Shannong1 indicated that the Y1718 gene is located on chromosome 2BS, where it is flanked by the simple sequence repeat marker Xwmc25 and expressed sequence tag-sequence tagged sites marker BE498358 at genetic distances of 1.7 and 4.0 cM, respectively. Our results facilitate the fine mapping and gene cloning of Y1718 to explore chlorophyll synthesis, metabolism, and development in wheat.  相似文献

Sexual polyploidization via the formation of 2n gametes has been acknowledged as the most significant evolutionary mode of polyploidization among plant species. The present study was conducted in order to determine whether 2n gametes are present in the C-genome diploid Avena ventricosa Bal. ex Coss., a species that contributed to the evolution of the cultivated hexaploid species (Avena sativa L). Individual plants belonging to four different Cypriot populations, were screened for pollen grain size variation with the aim to distinguish 2n gametes. Avena ventricosa ARI00-845 was identified to produce large pollen grains at a low percentage (1.21%). Subsequent analysis using flow cytometry confirmed the presence of 2n gametes in the pollen. Cytogenetic analyses of pollen mother cells revealed cells with twice the typical chromosome number at metaphase I (i.e., 28 chromosomes). We postulate that irregularities in cell wall formation preceding meiosis could have contributed to the mode of chromosome doubling.  相似文献

Gossypium turneri, a wild cotton species (2n = 2X = 26, D10D10) originating from Mexico, possesses invaluable characteristics unavailable in the cultivated tetraploid cotton gene pool, such as caducous involucels at anthesis, resistance to insects and tolerance to abiotic stresses. However, transferring desired characteristics from wild species into cultivated cotton is often fraught with diverse obstacles. Here, Gossypium hirsutum (as the maternal parent) and G. turneri were crossed in the Hainan Province of China, and the obtained hybrid seeds (2n = 3X = 39, ADD10) were treated with 0.075% colchicine solution for 48 h to double the chromosome complement in order to overcome triploid F1 sterility and to generate a fertile hexaploid. Chromosome doubling was successful in four individuals. However, the new synthetic hexaploids derived from these individuals were still highly sterile, and no seeds were generated by selfing or crossing. Therefore, an embryo rescue technique was employed in an attempt to produce progenies from the new synthetic hexaploids. Consequently, a total of six large embryos were obtained on MSB2K medium supplemented with 0.5 mg l?1 KIN and 250 mg l?1 CH using ovules from backcrossing that were 3 days post-anthesis. Four grafted surviving seedlings were confirmed to be the progenies (pentaploids) of the new synthetic hexaploids using cytological observations and molecular markers. Eight putative fertile individuals derived from backcrossing the above pentaploids were confirmed using SSR markers and generated an abundance of normal seeds. This research lays a foundation for transferring desirable characteristics from G. turneri into upland cotton.  相似文献
