Sex type determination in papaya (Carica papaya L.) is very important for crop improvement processes because it accelerates the identification of the fruitful plants. The use of molecular technology provides a quick and reliable identification of sex types in plantlets growing in seedbeds. Random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) markers were used to determine the sex types of Colombian cultivars of dioecious papaya genotypes. This species has three sex types (male, female and hermaphrodite) determined by a multiallelic locus. There are no morphological differences at the chromosome level; therefore the identification of sex types by chromosomal dimorphism is not possible. A RAPD marker of 900 bp was found in male plants, but not in females or hermaphrodites. From this RAPD marker a sequence characterized amplified region (SCAR) was developed and it was possible to amplify fragments from the genomes of male and hermaphrodite plants, but not the female ones. The results indicate that this new SCAR marker will be valuable to determine the sex type of papaya plants.  相似文献

We report the first successful production of PRSV-P resistant backcross (BC) papaya plants following intergeneric hybridisation between C. papaya and a Vasconcellea species after 50 years of reports on unsuccessful attempts. This follows our previous reports of PRSV-P resistant F1 hybrids developed by intergeneric hybridisation between C. papaya and V. quercifolia. One PRSV-P resistant BC 1 (BC1) plant was produced after 114,839 seeds were dissected from 940 fruits. The seeds yielded 1,011 embryos and 733 germinated in vitro from which 700 developed into plantlets that were screened in a glasshouse and in the field under high disease pressure and exposure to inoculation by viruliferous aphids. From the PRSV-P resistant backcross 1 (BC1) male plant, 1465 plants [137 BC2, 546 SbC2 (BC2 sib-crosses), 147 BC3, 379 SbC3 and 256 BC4] were grown from seed and inoculated with PRSV-P and virus resistant BC3 and BC4 plants were selected from these generations. Presence or absence of virus was confirmed by ELISA serological tests. BC plants generally developed mild symptoms of PRSV-P after periods ranging from 5 to 18 months in the field but many showed the ability to produce new growth free of symptoms. All control plants developed severe symptoms after 3 months in the field. Some BC3 and BC4 plants were free from viral infection after 18 months in the field. Subsequently they developed very mild symptoms on their leaves and a few ringspots on their fruit. They continued to grow vigorously and produce fruit for 3 years under high disease pressure provided by the infected controls and other susceptible plants. Good quality marketable fruit were produced on these plants. Application of these results should lead to restoration of the papaya industry in virus-infested regions of the Philippines and worldwide.  相似文献

Summary Application of 200 to 800 mg/l silver nitrate (AgNO3) to the female kakrol or teasle gourd (Momordica dioica Roxb.) plant was effective for inducing hermaphrodite flowers. Pollen grain viability of the hermaphrodite flowers was as high as that of normal male flowers. Crossing among female genotypes of different fruit morphotypes, taking pollen from the induced hermaphrodite flowers, produced fruits and seeds. Sex of hybrids between female and normal male segregated into male and female in equal proportion, while the hybrids from female homo-sexual crosses produced only female plants. This indicated that sex of kakrol is controlled by a single factor; male being heterozygous and the female is homozygous recessive. The possibility to evaluate both parents for fruit characteristics should facilitate breeding.  相似文献

Self‐pollination of a hermaphroditic cultivar normally gives a ratio of 2 : 1 hermaphrodite to female papayas with genotypes M2m and mm, respectively. Much effort has been dedicated to marking the sexual types of papaya at the seedling stage to distinguish hermaphroditic from female papayas. A hermaphroditic papaya mutant (SR*) has been obtained, derived from the ‘Sunrise’ papaya cultivar mutant. Self‐pollination of the mutant resulted in all progenies being hermaphroditic. The genotype of the female was lethal, as a result of a lethal gene being linked to the mm female gene complex in this case. However, a 3 : 1 segregation ratio was obtained from the progeny of the hermaphroditic cultivar ‘Thailand’ crossed with SR*, indicating that all genotypes survived. Homozygous genotypes (M2M2) would be lethal according to Storey's model. Randomly selected F1 plants of the ‘Thailand’ SR* combination were self‐pollinated to obtain an F2 generation. The F2 segregation ratio suggested that the SR* mutant had a different form of the M2 allele, now designated as M@, which allowed the dominant M@M2 to survive in cross combinations. Genetic study has proved that SR* has the M@ml genotype, a new mutant. It is capable of producing all hermaphroditic papaya progenies.  相似文献

Eucommia ulmoides Oliv. is strictly a dioecious perennial tree native to China. The pistillate plants are economically more useful than the staminate plants. The random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) technique was used to screen markers of sex determination in this species. A 569 bp RAPD marker, marker linked to sex determination in E. ulmoides (MSDE), was found in all the pistillate but not in the staminate plants; its exclusiveness to pistillate plants was confirmed by Southern blotting. MSDE was sequenced and specific primers were synthesized to generate a 569bp pistillate-specific SCAR marker, SCARmr. SCARmr could be useful for screening E. ulmoides plants for gender even before they reach reproductive maturity, resulting in considerable saving of time and economic resources.  相似文献

Papaya is a productive and nutritious fruit grown in tropical and sub-tropical regions worldwide. It is polygamous with three sex types: female, male and hermaphrodite. Sex determination in papaya is controlled by an XY sex chromosome system with two slightly different Y chromosomes, Y for males and Yh for hermaphrodites. Comparative analysis of the hermaphrodite-specific region of Yh chromosome (HSY) and male-specific region of Y chromosome (MSY) revealed 99.6% sequence identity, which explains why DNA markers that amplify for both males and hermaphrodites have easily been developed, but not for the male trait specifically. We examined the 0.4% sequence differences, and found 1887 indels and 21,088 SNPs between MSY and HSY. The vast majority of indels are single nucleotide or few base pairs. A large male-specific retrotransposon insertion of 8396 bp was used to develop two papaya male-specific markers, PMSM1 and PMSM2 that amplify 585 and 548 bp fragments, respectively. These two markers were tested in 11 gynodioecious and four dioecious varieties along with autosomal DNA marker 71E and male/hermaphrodite marker W11, and the results showed clear separation of male from hermaphrodite and female. PMSM1 and PMSM2 were also used to test the sex type of six sex male-to-hermaphrodite reversal mutants which are crucial materials for validating candidate genes for sex determination in papaya. Our result showed all six mutants were positive for the male-specific markers. These male-specific markers can be used to distinguish gynodioecious and dioecious cultivars in papaya seed market, and facilitate genetic and genomic research for papaya improvement.  相似文献

Caricaceae is a small family consisting of 35 species of varying sexual systems and includes economically important fruit crop, Carica papaya, and other species of “highland papayas”. Flow cytometry was used to obtain genome sizes for 11 species in three genera of Caricaceae to determine if genome size differences can be detected between sexes. Genome sizes ranged from 442.5 to 625.9 megabases (Mb) likely due to variation in the accumulation of retrotransposons in the genomes. The C. papaya genome size was estimated to be 442.5 Mb, larger than previously reported. Significant differences were detected between male and female samples in Jacaratia spinosa, Vasconcellea horovitziana, and V. stipulata, and between male and hermaphrodite samples of V. cundinamarcensis, suggesting the presence of sex chromosomes for these species. The small size differences between genomes of the papaya sexes were not detected using flow cytometry. Vasconcellea horovitziana was discovered to have a larger female genome size than male, suggesting the possibility of a ZW sex chromosome system in the family. The estimated genome sizes of these 11 species will be used in sequencing their genomes and in sex chromosome research for this family.  相似文献

The morphological and genetic variations in somaclones of chili pepper (Capsicumannuum L.) derived from tissue culture were evaluated. Cotyledonary node explants of cultivars, Shishitou and Takanotsume, were cultured on Murashige and Skoog (MS) medium supplemented with benzyladenine (BA)5 mg/l for shoots regeneration and regenerated shoots were rooted on MS medium supplemented with naphthalene acetic acid(NAA) 0.1 mg/l and indol-3-butyric acid(IBA) 0.05 mg/l. The regenerated plants(R0) were selfed to obtain seeds for next generation (R1 lines). Qualitative characters were studied in R0generation and both qualitative and quantitative characters were studied in R1 generation. In R0 generation, variations were noticed in plant growth habit, stem color, flower color and color of unripe fruits, and expression of anthocyanin in unripe fruits. Comparison among the R1 lines and their parents were made for morphological and agronomic characters. Significant variation among R1 lines and differences between R1 lines and their parents were observed. Genetic variations among three somaclones were revealed by random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) analysis. Variation, such as early flowering and increase of yield components, is an indication of the response to selection for any specific character. Occurrence of productive variants among somaclones of established cultivars, like Shishitou and Takanotsume, indicates the possibility of their improvement through somaclonal variation.

Summary Various DNA fingerprint probes were applied to Carica papaya and other Carica species for both identification and genetic analysis.Each of the Carica papaya cultivars is characterized by a specific DNA fingerprints pattern. Various Carica species also have specific patterns which distinguish them from one another. Band sharing levels were used to estimate the relatedness between the various Carica species.Genetic analysis of 11 progeny from a cross between the Carica papaya cultivars 17/82 and 112 suggests that application of DNA fingerprinting to Carica papaya breeding, could make the process more efficient. Genetic analysis of the DNA fingerprint bands revealed no linkage or allelic relationship among the bands analyzed, indicating that these loci are not clustered in the Carica genome.  相似文献

Marker assisted selection (MAS) may improve the efficiency of breeding downy mildew resistant cucumber cultivars. A study was conducted to identify random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) markers linked to the downy mildew resistance gene (dm) which would be suitable for MAS. A total of 145 F3 families from two populations (55 from the WI 1983G × Straight 8 population and 90 from the Zudm1 × Straight 8 population) were evaluated over five locations in North America and Europe. Resistant and susceptible F3 families were identified and mean family resistance ratings were used to type individual F2 plants. No evidence for race differences in the pathogen (Psuedoperonospora cubensis (Berk. & Curt.) Rostow) between North America and Europe was found. Phenotypic correlations between locations ranged from 0.3 to 0.7. Of the 135 polymorphic RAPD markers identified from 960 primers, five were linked to dm - G14800, X151100, AS5800, BC5191100, and BC5261000. In the WI 1983G × Straight 8 population, G14800 was linked to dm at 16.5 cm, AS5800 at 32.8 cm, BC5191100 at 9.9 cm, and BC5261000 at 19.2 cm. In the Zudm1 ×Straight 8 population, G14800 was linked at 20.9 cm, X151100at 14.8 cm, AS5800 at 24.8 cm, and BC526_1000 at 32.9 cm. MarkersG14800 and BC5191100 were linked in repulsion to the dm allele, and X151100, AS5800, and BC5261000 were linked in coupling phase. These genetic markers may be exploited to develop an efficient MAS strategy for breeding resistant cucumber cultivars.

Downy mildew, incited by Peronospora parasitica (Pers.: Fr.) Fr., is a destructive disease of broccoli (Brassica oleraceaL., Italica Group). Resistant cultivars represent a desirable control method to provide a practical, environmentally benign, and long-term means of limiting damage from this disease. Doubled-haploid (DH) lines developed by us exhibit a high level of downy mildew resistance at the cotyledon stage. To determine the mode of inheritance for this resistance, a resistant DH line was crossed to a susceptible DH line to make an F1, from which F2 and backcross (BC) populations were developed. All populations were evaluated for response to artificial inoculation with P. parasitica at the cotyledon stage. All F1 plants (including reciprocals) were as resistant as the resistant parent, indicating no maternal effect for this trait. F2 populations segregated approximately 3resistant to 1 susceptible, BC populations using the resistant parent as the recurrent parent contained all resistant plants, and the BC to the susceptible parent segregated 1 resistant to 1 susceptible. These results indicate that resistance is controlled by a single dominant gene. This gene should be easily incorporated into F1 hybrids and used commercially to prevent downy mildew at the cotyledon stage. This revised version was published online in August 2006 with corrections to the Cover Date.  相似文献

Tropical fruit crops are predominantly produced in tropical and subtropical developing countries, but some are now grown in southern Japan. Pineapple (Ananas comosus), mango (Mangifera indica) and papaya (Carica papaya) are major tropical fruits cultivated in Japan. Modern, well-organized breeding systems have not yet been developed for most tropical fruit species. Most parts of Japan are in the temperate climate zone, but some southern areas such as the Ryukyu Islands, which stretch from Kyushu to Taiwan, are at the northern limits for tropical fruit production without artificial heating. In this review, we describe the current status of tropical fruit breeding, genetics, genomics, and biotechnology of three main tropical fruits (pineapple, mango, and papaya) that are cultivated and consumed in Japan. More than ten new elite cultivars of pineapple have been released with improved fruit quality and suitability for consumption as fresh fruit. New challenges and perspectives for obtaining high fruit quality are discussed in the context of breeding programs for pineapple.  相似文献

Novel male-specific molecular markers (MADC5, MADC6) in hemp   总被引：8，自引：0，他引：8  
Decamer RAPD primers were tested on dioecious and monoecious hemp cultivars to identify sex-specific molecular markers. Two primers (OPD05 and UBC354) generated specific bands in male plants. These two DNA fragments were isolated, cloned and sequenced. Both markers proved to be unique, since no sequence with significant homology to OPD05961 and UBC354151 markers were found in databases. These markers were named MADC3 (OPD05961) and MADC4 (UBC354151) (Male-Associated DNA from Cannabis sativa). The markers were converted into sequence-characterized amplified region (SCAR) markers. The SCAR markers correlated with the sex of the segregating F2 population and proved the tight linkage to the male phenotype. Results of F2 plant population analysis suggest these markers are to be linked to the Y chromosome. This revised version was published online in August 2006 with corrections to the Cover Date.  相似文献

The objectives of this study were to optimize RAPD and AFLP techniques in B. catharticus, and to determine the genetic variability of populations and commercial prairie grass cultivars with the aforementioned molecular markers. Two populations with contrasting morphological characteristics were evaluated from individual and bulked DNA samples using RAPD markers. Both analyses showed a similar information about inter population variability. Each accession was sampled by a single leaf bulk of 10 plants. Accession similarities were established with 276 RAPD and 714 AFLP bands using Jaccard similarity coefficient. The dendrogram of the accessions using RAPD markers showed that they shared high similarity values (>94%). A similar result was obtained with AFLP markers (similarity values >98%), revealing a narrow genetic basis in the analyzed accessions. Consequently, molecular characterization of germplasm should be considered in addition to morphological criteria, to choose the parental genotypes for breeding programs of this forage crop. The AFLP technique was more efficient to detect DNA polymorphism in our experiments and unique fingerprints were detected for all the accessions. RAPD is a simple and non expensive technique, suitable to estimate genetic similarity. This revised version was published online in August 2006 with corrections to the Cover Date.  相似文献

The main goal of this work was to introduce resistance genes for rust, caused by Uromyces appendiculatus, and anthracnose, caused by Colletotrichum lindemuthianum, in an adapted common bean cultivar through marker-assisted backcrossing. DNA fingerprinting was used to select plants genetically closer to the recurrent parent which were also resistant to rust and to race 89 of C. lindemuthianum. DNA samples extracted from the resistant parent (cv. Ouro Negro), the recurrent parent (cv. Rudá), and from BC1, BC2 and BC3 resistant plants were amplified by the RAPD technique. The relative genetic distances in relation to the recurrent parent varied between 9 and 59% for BC1, 7 and 33% for BC2, and 0 and 7% for BC3 resistant plants. After only three backcrosses, five lines resistant to rust and anthracnose with, approximately, 0% genetic distance in relation to the recurrent parent were obtained. These lines underwent field yield tests in two consecutive growing seasons and three of them presented a good yield performance, surpassing in that sense their parents and most of the reference cultivars tested.  相似文献

This study was performed to introduce the distinct aromatic fragrance of Lycopersicon peruvianum LA 1554 into the cultivated tomato, Lycopersicon esculentum. The strong breeding barriers existing between these two distantly related species were circumvented by the ovule selection and culture method. A large BC1F1 population was developed and among 127 plants, 36 were self‐compatible and yielded fruits. Fruits of some of these selected plants were found to be enriched with a sweet aromatic flavour. Sensory evaluation of the fruit aroma of these selected plants was performed by a panel of 12 members against one of the best consumer‐rated Japanese commercial tomato cultivars, ‘Momotaro’. Although extensive variation was observed in fruit‐aroma in the BC1F1 population, panel opinion on ‘flavour‐desirability’ significantly favoured the BC1F1 fruits of some selected plants over the cv. ‘Momotaro’. Therefore, it can be concluded that the aromatic fragrance of a ‘L. peruvianum’ accession has successfully been introduced into the cultivated tomato gene pool.  相似文献

Genetic variation among five elite winter barley cultivars (H. vulgare L.) currently grown in Bulgaria was assessed at the molecular level using restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) and randomly amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) markers. The present study sampled RFLPs in four well characterized multigene families in barley: the seed storage protein loci; the 18S, 5.8S and 26S ribosomal DNA loci; the loci coding for 5S ribosomal RNA and the loci coding subunit α of ATP-A complex in the mitochondrial genome. RFLPs were detected in three out of five investigated chromosomal loci in the barley cultivars studied. RAPD assay using arbitrary 10-base primers was applied to generate amplified length polymorphic markers in barley. Overall a total of 15 polymorphic phenotypes were found among the studied barley cultivars by using 11 out of 25 tested primers. All RAPDs were considered as dominant genetic markers except for two, where PCR and Southern blot analysis indicated the presence of codominant amplification products. Five RAPD polymorphisms in F1 and F2 progenies of the cross between Alpha and Obzor were inherited in Mendelian fashion. The determined values for the genetic variation proved a high genetic similarity among the tested cultivars. Genetic similarity (GS) calculated from RFLP and RAPD data ranged from 0.888 to 0.997 with a mean GS – 0.933. This revised version was published online in July 2006 with corrections to the Cover Date.  相似文献

Evidence of gene introgression in apple using RAPD markers   总被引：4，自引：0，他引：4  
Summary A genomic remnant of Malus floribunda clone 821 introgressed into the cultivated apple M. x domestica Borkh. was identified using randomly amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) markers obtained by the polymerase chain reaction (PCR). Using a set of 59 oligonucleotide decamer primers, polymorphic DNA markers were identified among three pooled DNA samples. Based on the presence or absence of bands among bulked apple scab-resistant selections and cultivars, bulked scab-susceptible cultivars, and a M. floribunda clone 821 sample, one primer, A 15, identified amplified fragments in the scab-resistant bulked sample that was also unique to the M. floribunda clone 821. The unique band from M. floribunda clone 821 was amplified in four out of 17 scab-resistant selections/cultivars. This RAPD, designated OA15900, identifies an introgressed fragment that has as yet no known function.  相似文献

Summary Symmetric somatic hybrids were produced by electrofusion of protoplasts of two dihaploid tuber-bearing potato (Solanum tuberosum L.) lines and Solanum brevidens Phil., a diploid non-tuber-bearing wild potato species. A total of 985 plants was obtained. Verification of nuclear hybridity of putative hybrids was based on additive RAPD patterns, general morphological characteristics and chromosome counts. 53 (90%) calli regenerated into plants which were identified as somatic hybrids. Most of the hybrids were aneuploids at the tetraploid (4×) or hexaploid (6×) level. The 20 hybrids tested expressed a high level of resistance to potato virus Y (PVY N ) characteristic of the S. brevidens parent. Resistance to late blight (Phytophthora infestans (Mont.) de Bary) varied between hybrids, but was on average better than that of the fusion parents. Resistance of hybrids to bacterial stem rot (Erwinia carotovora subsp. atroseptica (van Hall) Dye) was not superior to that of commercial potato cultivars.  相似文献
