Polyploidy and Aneuploidy in the Tamarillo, Cyphomandra betacea (Cav.) Sendt. (Solanaceae) 总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1
The occurrence of spontaneous polyploidy was quantified in the tamarillo (Cyphomandra betacea [Cav.] Sendt.), a diploid (2n = 2x = 24) solanaceous fruit crop cultivated in New Zealand. Polyploids of this species were recognized by their small, almost seedless fruit, these types occurring at a frequency of 0.24 % in seedling orchards. Parallel spindles were seen on rare occasions during meiotic anaphase II in diploid tamarillos and were the probable cause of spontaneous polyploidy in this crop. Pollen volume and viability, seed number per fruit, seed weight, fruit size, stomatal length and guard cell chloroplast number were measured in diploids and polyploids. The polyploids typically showed the manifestation of the gigas effect, with thicker leaves and larger flowers. Pollen volume, stomatal length and guard cell chloroplast number also increased with higher ploidy. Pollen viability was markedly lower in the polyploids compared to the diploids and in combination with post-zygotic abnormalities caused a reduction in seed set and hence fruit size. Improvements in fertility and thus fruit size would be needed if the polyploids were to have commercial potential. 相似文献

Many diploid rose species and cultivars possess valuable traits that can be introgressed into modern tetraploid cultivars. Interspecific, interploidy crosses are possible, but triploid hybrids typically have limited fertility, hindering further breeding and selection. Tetraploidizing diploids before mating with tetraploids can alleviate fertility barriers. The efficiency of trifluralin was investigated for polyploidization of Rosa chinensis minima (2n = 2x = 14) seedlings. Treatments were trifluralin at 0.086% and 0.0086%, colchicine (0.5%), and distilled water and contained 2% dimethyl sulfoxide and a surfactant. Approximately 5 l of the treatment solution was applied to the apical meristem of seedlings (N = 337, 82–85 per treatment) in the process of cotyledon expansion. Guard cell length, pollen diameter, and root tip squashes of rooted cuttings were used to detect polyploidy in meristematic layer (L)I, LII, and LIII, respectively. Trifluralin (0.086%) was the most effective treatment for polyploidization (LI 20.2%, LII 12.9%, LIII 12.9%), followed by trifluralin (0.0086%) (LI 10.6%, LII 7.1%, LIII 4.7%) and colchicine (LI 2.4%, LII 0%, LIII 0%). Polyploidization consistently occurred from LI inward. Polyploids as a group had reduced pollen stainability and a lower leaflet length to width ratio than diploids. In addition, two diploid seedlings were identified which produce 2n pollen. Considerations in selecting germplasm and generating somatically-induced polyploids from seedlings versus clones for use in breeding are discussed. 相似文献

Influence of flower and flowering characteristics on seed yield in diploid and tetraploid red clover 
下载免费PDF全文
下载免费PDF全文 Tetraploid red clover (Trifolium pratense L.) often produces insufficient seed to be economically interesting. Numerous studies have identified poor pollination due to long corolla tubes as its cause, but other studies disagree. Therefore, we investigated seed yield, corolla tube length and flowering traits in 244 plants from five diploid and five tetraploid cultivars during 2 years. Tetraploids produced fewer seeds, fewer flower heads and fewer seeds per head, but an equal number of flowers per head when compared to diploids. Although corolla tubes were longer in tetraploid than in diploid red clover (P < 0.001), no correlation between corolla tube length and seed yield was detected. Therefore, the corolla tube length is likely neither the main nor only cause of low seed yield in tetraploid red clover. Instead, three putative causes for low seed yield were identified: tetraploids produced less inflorescences per plant, possessed a lower degree of determinacy and had markedly less seeds per head when compared to diploids. Possible causes for such differences include lower pollen viability and higher rates of embryo abortion. 相似文献

Summary The South American wild potato species Solanum commersonii Dun. exists as two subspecies, subsp. commersonii and subsp. malmeanum (Bitter) Hawkes and Hjerting, and as both diploid and triploid cytotypes. The two subspecies were completely cross fertile but there were reciprocal differences in the number of seeds set per berry and the mean seed weight. Crosses between diploids and colchicine-induced autotetraploids yielded only a few seeds per berry, but 16 of the 18 germinated seeds were triploid or nearly so. Such a high proportion of triploids is unusual for such crosses in potatoes. Some triploids has a high percentage of stainable pollen. The origin of naturally occurring triploids is discussed in the context of 2n gametes, a triploid block, and endosperm balance numbers. 相似文献

Summary Sexual polyploidization via the action of 2n gametes (gametes with the sporophytic chromosome number) has been identified as the most important evolutionary mode of polyploidization among plant genera. This study was conducted to determine whether 2n gametes are present in the tetraploid level of the genus Avena (2n=4×=28) Twenty tetraploid Avena lines, representing four species and one interspecific hybrid, were screened for pollen grain size in order to differentiate between n and 2n pollen. Avena vaviloviana (Malz.) Mordv. line PI 412767 was observed to contain large pollen grains at a 1.0% frequency. Cytogenetic analyses of pollen mother cells of PI 412767 revealed cells with double the normal chromosome number (i.e., 56 chromosomes at metaphase I and anaphase I). The mode of chromosome doubling was found to be failure of cell wall formation during the last mitotic division that preceded meiosis. The resulting binucleate cells underwent normal meiotic divisions and formed pollen grains with 28 chromosomes. Based on the formation and function of 2n gametes, three models involving diploid and tetraploid oat lines are proposed to describe possible evolutionary pathways for hexaploid oats. If stable synthetic hexaploid oat lines could be developed by utilizing 2n gametes from diploid and tetraploid oat species through bilateral sexual polyploidization, the resulting hexaploids could be used in breeding programs for transferring genes from diploids and tetraploids to cultivated hexaploids. 相似文献

Chemically induced polyploids were obtained by the colchicine treatment of shoot tips of Humulus lupulus L. ‘Sybilla’. Flow cytometry revealed that most of the treatments resulted in the production of tetraploids. The highest number of tetraploids was obtained when explants were immersed in 0.05% colchicine for 48 h. A field experiment was conducted to compare diploid and tetraploid plants and assess the effect of genome polyploidization on the morphological and chemical characteristics. Tetraploids showed significant differences in relation to diploids. They had thinner and shorter shoots. The influence of chromosome doubling was also reflected in the length, width and area of leaves. The length of female flowers in the tetraploids was significantly shorter than that observed in diploids. Tetraploids produced a diverse number of lupuline glands that were almost twice as large as those observed in diploids. The most distinct effect of genome polyploidization was a significant increase in the weight of cones and spindles. Contents of major chemical constituents of hop cones was little affected by ploidy level. Total essential oils were significantly lower than those in diploids. However there was a significant increase in the proportion of humulene, caryophyllene and farnesene, oils desired by the brewing industry. 相似文献

Summary The formation of triploids in 4x×2x crosses was studied in primitive potato varieties from the Andes of Peru and Bolivia. Triploid frequencies were as high as 80–100% in some crosses, although the actual number of seeds was low. The triploid block varied according to the tetraploid parent, and was never entirely absent. The likelihood of triploid formation was studied in 4x×2x crosses where pollen from both tetraploids and diploids of known genotype was used. Even though the diploids were chosen for their non-production of 2n gametes, as detected in pollen grain size, 66% of the hybrids were tetraploid. The amount and probability of gene-flow between the tetraploid and diploid gene-pools, either directly through 2n gametes or through triploid bridges was examined. Most of the 20 cultivars of S. x chaucha produced seed in crosses with tetraploids and diploids, although the fertility of the latter crosses was four times higher. The female fertility of some of the triploids thus allows them to exchange genes with the tetraploids and diploids, although gene-flow occurs more rapidly through direct transfer from diploids to tetraploids via 2n gametes. 相似文献

Phenotypic and genotypic variation in seed production traits within a full-sib family of meadow fescue 总被引：2，自引：0，他引：2
Phenotypic and genotypic variation for seed yield and associated traits (heading date, plant height, number of fertile tillers, 1000‐seed weight, panicle length, seed weight per panicle, fertility, flag‐leaf length and flag‐leaf width) were studied in a full‐sib family of meadow fescue using replicated clonal trials at two locations in Norway. Genotypic variances were highly significant for all traits and genotype × location interactions were significant for heading date, number of fertile tillers and seed yield. Seed yield and other seed component traits exhibited the largest genotypic variations. Heading date showed large genotype × location interaction, probably because of the very diverse origin of the two parents of the full‐sib family. Path coefficient analysis showed that panicle fertility, measured as seed weight per unit length of panicles, was by far the most important component trait contributing to seed yield, followed by the number of fertile tillers, plant height and flag‐leaf width. Flag‐leaf width and plant height had sizeable indirect effects on seed yield via panicle fertility. This is the first time that the importance of the size of the flag leaf for seed yield in herbage grasses has been demonstrated. 相似文献

Summary Dihaploid and dihaploid derived clones of Solanum tuberosum and diploid genotypes of S. verrucosum produced 85 viable monohaploids by female parthenogenesis. All were induced using diploid S. phureja clones, homozygous for embryo spot, as pollinator. Frequency of S. tuberosum monohaploids per 100 berries was rather constant in three successive years (14, 17 and 17 respectively). No male and female fertility was found in flowering monohaploids.Colchicine-induced chromosome doubling yielded homozygous s. tuberosum diploids with low pollen quality but good seed fertility.Two diploid self-incompatible species (S. multidissectum and S. berthaultii) produced no monohaploids. The presence of genes for female parthenogenesis in some dihaploids is discussed. 相似文献

Summary Seed yield performance and effect on seed yield of morphological traits such as seeds/panicle, seed weight, seeds/branch, branches/2nd node, branches/panicle, fertile tillers/plant and panicle length were evaluated in 13 cultivars of smooth bromegrass in a spaced-plant nursery. Wide variation was observed between and within cultivars for seed yield and traits. Highly significant correlation coefficients were found among traits and seed yield. Path analysis showed that specifically seeds/panicle and seed weight had strong direct effect on seed yield. It was concluded that seeds/panicle and seed weight were primary selection criteria for seed yield in smooth bromegrass. 相似文献

Summary The extent and pattern of polyploidy in the tuber-bearing Solanums varies among the many taxanomic series that have been identified in this subsection of Solanum. While several series appear to be entirely diploid, others exhibit a range of ploidy levels from 2x to 6x, and some contain only polyploid species.In many diploid, triploid and tetraploid species 2n gametes (gametes or gametophytes with the sporophytic chromosome number) have been detected. Both 2n eggs and 2n pollen occur. 2n gametes provide the opportunity for unilateral and bilateral sexual polyploidization. The genetic determination and consequences of sexual polyploidization strongly suggest that 2n gametes have been the major instrument in the polyploid evolution of the tuber-bearing Solanums. Somatic doubling of species and interspecific hybrids appears to be of very limited importance.New evidence for the occurrence of 2n eggs and 2n pollen in many species is reported, and data from the literature are added to illustrate the widespread distribution of 2n gametes throughout the subsection. A very high correlation is found between polyploidy and 2n gametes, and its significance is discussed. Proof is presented for the occurrence of alleles governing 2n pollen production in the cultivated tetraploids, providing additional evidence for the hypothesis that 2n gametes have been involved in their origin.Multiple unilateral and bilateral sexual polyploidizations are proposed for the origin of the cultivated tetraploids: this accounts for the large variability encountered in this group, which closely resembles that of the related diploids. Similar evolutionary pathways are hypothesized for the other polyploid complexes in the subsection.A scheme is proposed in which participation of both 2n and n gametes link together all ploidy levels in the tuber-bearing Solanums, thus overcoming the ploidy barriers and providing for gene flow throughout the sympatric species of the subsection.Paper No. 2093 from the Laboratory of Genetics.

Summary Correlation and path coefficients were calculated for seed yield per plant and its components from 36 clones comprising 8 parental and their 28 single cross clones in Guinea grass (Panicum maximum Jacq.) from data pooled over two years. Seed yield per plant showed significant positive correlation coefficients with branch number per panicle, panicle number per plant, panicle length, branch length, 100 seed weight and day to flower. Path coefficients analysis revealed that panicle number per plant had highest direct effect on seed yield per plant, followed by branch number per panicle, days to flower and 100 seed weight. 相似文献

The three main groups of cultivated potatoes were studied (diploids (2n=24), Andigena (2n=48) and Tuberosum (2n=48)). Seed weights were measured as mg per 100 seeds. In the tetraploids, but not in the diploids, there is a regression of seed weight on seed number per berry with b=–7 mg per 100 per 100 seed, implying nutritional competition between seeds. This effect accounts for very little variation between samples however. Tetraploid seeds are about 30% larger than diploid seeds but there is much overlap between the two groups; genetic control of seed number appears to be predominantly bi-parental, of seed size predominantly maternal, but there are exceptions. Tuberosum seed is slightly larger than Andigena seed and the difference is attributable to the decline in fertility that occurred during the evolution of the former Group. There is no evidence of increase of seed size correlated with selection for plant vigour; experiments with sieved seed of different size grades showed that genetic differences independent of seed size overwhelmingly controlled plant vigour but that there was a transient maternal effect of seed size apparent in the young seedlings and disappearing later in life. General conclusions are: that seed size in the cultivated potatoes is determined by ploidy, by genetic factors (mostly maternal) and by maternal nutritional effects; and that it offers no correlations with plant characters that might be useful to the plant breeder. 相似文献

An effective method of incorporating germplasm of wild 2x Solanum species into the cultivated potato is through hybridization with haploids of 4x S. tuberosum Group Tuberosum. This procedure provides for the introduction of desirable traits and genetic diversity from wild species into potato. Haploid and wild species genotypes can be evaluated for parental value based on the presence of good tuberization, desirable traits, fertility, and 2n gametes in their hybrid progeny. Haploid-wild species hybrids may be intercrossed and evaluated at the 2x level to take advantage of diploid genetic ratios. Selected 2x genotypes may then be brought to the 4x level through sexual polyploidization with 2n gametes. 相似文献

The widespread occurrence of 2ngametes (i.e. gametes with the somatic chromosome number) in the Medicago sativa-coerulea-falcata complex supports the concept that gene flow from diploid to tetraploid species occurs continuously in nature and plays a
key role in alfalfa evolution. Breeders realized early that gene transfer between ploidy levels via 2n pollen and 2n eggs would have had potential use in cultivated alfalfa improvement. Cytological investigations provided insights into the
types of meiotic abnormalities responsible for the production of 2n gametes. Alterations were defined as genetically equivalent to first (FDR) or second division restitution(SDR) mechanisms.
For breeding purposes,data have proven that 2n gametes of the FDR type are more advantageous than those obtained by SDR for transferring parental heterozygosity and retaining
epistatic interactions. The use of diploid meiotic mutants that produce 2ngametes is now recognized as one of the most effective methods available for exploiting heterosis and introgressing wild germplasm
traits into cultivated tetraploid alfalfa via unilateral (USP) and bilateral sexual polyploidization (BSP) schemes. Both2n egg and 2n pollen producers could be used for direct gene transfer from wild diploid relatives into cultivated alfalfa by means of 2x-4x and4x-2x crosses. Although data have shown that forage yield improvement can be achieved when plants are sexually tetraploidized,
problems related to reduced plant fertility and seed production remain largely unexplained. Apomixis has the potential of
cloning plants through seed and thus provides a unique opportunity for developing superior tetraploid cultivars with permanently
fixed heterosis and epistatic effects. A main goal in alfalfa breeding could be the introduction of functional apomixis (i.e.
Apomeiosis and parthenogenesis) in cultivated alfalfa stocks. In the future, the efficiency of alfalfa breeding programs based
on the use of reproductive mutants could be improved by direct selection at the genotype level using RFLPs and PCR-based markers.
Suitable DNA markers and detailed linkage maps of alfalfa mutants should help to discover apomictic mutants and address basic
genetic issues such as the extent of genomicre combination in polyploid hybrids and the effect of sexual polyploidization
on heterosis. Molecular markers have recently been used in alfalfa for studying the inheritance of 2n gamete formation and identifying polymorphisms associated to genes involved in meiotic abnormalities. Molecular tagging of
2n egg and 2n pollen formation not only should explain the genetic control and regulation of these traits, but may also be an essential
step towards marker-assisted selection of 2n gamete producers and implementation of USP and BSP breeding schemes. Future perspectives include strategies for the map-based
cloning of genomic DNA markers,and screening of EST mini-libraries related to flowers at different developmental stages from
meiotic mutants and wild-type scan lead to the identification of mRNAs and thus of candidate genes that control 2n gamete formation in alfalfa.

Summary Aneuploid plants of perennial ryegrass (Lolium perenne L.) with 2n=15 to 30 chromosomes were obtained by crossing a near-triploid (2n=3x+1=22) with a diploid or on open-pollination with diploids and tetraploids. Aneuploids occurred with a frequency of 83% in near triploid × diploid progeny and 92% on open-pollination with diploid and tetraploid plants. Aneuploid plants with 15 to 18 chromosomes resembled diploids in morphology and those with 19 to 30 chromosomes were akin to tetraploids. Meiotic studies suggested that most aneuploid plants resulted from transmission of aneuploid egg cells (n=8 to 23). Aneuploid plants with 2n=27 to 30 chromosomes in the progeny of 22×14 cross originated from unreduced egg cells. Plants with 19 to 21 chromosomes were recovered only by immature seed culture. Aneuploid plants with 26 to 30 chromosomes and triploids (2n=21) had higher pollen fertility and bigger seeds than plants with 15 to 22 chromosomes. 相似文献

Summary Successful widespread use of a forage or biomass plant depends largely on its ease of establishment. Elephantgrass (Pennisetum purpureum Schum.) is used for both forage and biomass production, due to its high dry matter production, aggressiveness, perenniality, and forage quality. However, lack of high quality seed has limited the use of elephantgrass and its hybrids to pearl millet (P. glaucum L. R.Br.). Development of a seed-propagated pearl millet x elephantgrass hexaploid cultivar, which would combine desirable characteristics from both of these species, would be highly desirable. The objectives of this study were to characterize morphological and seed-related traits from the selfed progeny of seven hexaploid hybrids, and to determine whether seed size had any influence on these traits. Traits studied included number of tillers, height, leaf length and width, panicles per plant, days to flowering, panicle length, seed set, seed production, and weight of 100 seeds. Genetic differences were found among the progeny of the seven hybrids. Differences were also found between plants derived from large- and small-seed lots within families. Plants descended from larger seed had better growth and seed-related characteristics, which resulted in more desirable plants. These hexaploid hybrids showed potential for direct seeding into the field for biomass or forage production. 相似文献

A synthetic hexaploid oat was produced by chromosome doubling of a sterile triploid hybrid between cultivated Avena strigosa (2n = 14) cv. Saia and a domesticated form of A. magna (2n = 28). The synthetic hexaploid was intermediate between its parents in panicle shape and lemma color, similar to the
tetraploid parent in spikelet structure, and to the diploid parent in having a single, albeit partially shriveled seed per
spikelet, and low protein content. By the third generation, plants with yellowish lemmas, mostly two seeds per spikelet and
better filled grains had been selected. Rust resistance of the diploid parent was retained in the synthetic hexaploid, but
not tolerance to barley yellow dwarf virus disease (BYDV). Chromosome associations at meiosis in the triploid hybrid was low,
with over 60% of them being univalents. Bivalent association was the rule in the synthetic hexaploid with an occasional one
or two quadrivalents. Regular meiosis with 21 bivalents was observed in further generations. The preferential pairing of homologous
chromosomes in the synthetic hexaploid was probably contributed by the A. strigosa genome which exhibits this tendency in artificial allopolyploid situations. Selection of yellow lemma color and two seeds
per spikelet suggests that the genes controlling these traits are located on the chromosomes involved in quadrivalents in
the synthetic hexaploid. The potential and limitations of utilizing the synthetic hexaploid in oat research and breeding are
briefly discussed.

Summary Results of testcrosses and seed set data of the dihaploid breeding program at the Potato Research Institute in Gross Lüsewitz, Germany, indicate that the low level of female fertility could hinder success in crossing work. With the objective to reveal major components of female fertility, the behavior of 47 outstanding potato dihaploids (S. tuberosum ssp. tuberosum, 2n=2x=24) was assessed in testcrosses over a period of 3 years. Analysis of variance was carried out for the traits: number of seed per berry (S/B), number of intact seed per berry (IS/B), and number of non-germinable seed per berry (NGS/B). Significant sources of variation included cross combinations, years, and cross combination-year interactions. More than 20 S/B were obtained in 25.4% of all cross combinations performed over 3 years using up to three pollinators. Berry set was not correlated to seed set, but was in general determined by the pollinator used. The number of seedless berries (SLB/F) was related to neither total berry set nor seed production. The trait S/B remained stable over different years, and thus it deemed to be most useful as a measure of the level of female fertility in practical breeding work. Selection for female fertility in early generations of a breeding program is recommended to avoid limitations in the production of variability via sexual recombination. 相似文献
