Trigeneric Hybrids

Using C-banding, homologous and homoeologous meiotic pairing between wheat (AB), rye (R), and Aegilops caudata (C) genomes were estimated at meiotic metaphase I in trigeneric hybrids (AABBRC; 2n = 6x = 42). In all hybrids, the C-genome chromosomes pair homoeologously only with chromosomes of the A genome, but not with chromosomes of the B genome or R genome. The A – C pairing was restricted to trivalents (0.15 per cell), each composed of two A-genome and one C-genome chromosomes. These preliminary data suggest that the C genome of Ae. caudata is probably more closely related to the A genome than to the B genome of wheat.Key words: trigeneric hybrid, wheat, rye, Aegilops, genome analysis, meiosis.

The objective of this study was to discover the diploid progenitors of 80-chromosome Glycine tabacina with adventitious roots (WAR) and no adventitious roots (NAR). Three synthetic amphiploids were obtained by somatic chromosome doubling. These were (i) (G. latifolia, 2n = 40, genome B1B1,) × (G. microphylla, 2n = 40, genome BB) = F1(2n = 40, genome BB1) – 0.1% colchicine treatment (CT) – 2n = 80, genome BBB1B1; (ii) (G. canescens, 2n = 40, genome AA) × G. microphylla, 2n = 40, genome BB) = F1 (2n = 40, genome AB) – (CT) – 2n = 80, genome AABB; (iii) (G. latifolia, 2n = 40, B1B1) × G. canescens, 2n = 40, AA) = F1 (2n = 40, genome AB1) – (CT) – 2n = 80, genome AAB1B1. The segmental allotetraploid BBB1B1 was morphologically similar to the 80-chromosome G. tabacina (WAR), but meiotic pairing data in F1 hybrids did not support the complete genomic affinity. Despite normal diploid-like meiosis in allotetraploids AABB and AAB1B1, AABB was completely fertile, while pod set in AAB1B1 was very sparse. Morphologically, allotetraploid AABB was indistinguishable from the 80-chromosome G. tabacina (NAR) but in their F1 hybrids, the range of univalents at metaphase I was wide (4–44). The allotetraploid AAB1B1 did not morphologically resemble the 80-chromosome G. tabacina (NAR). However, the F1 hybrid of AABB × AAB1B1 showed normal meiosis with an average chromosome association (range) of 1.7 I (0–4) + 39.2 II (38–40). Based on this information, we cannot correctly deduce the diploid progenitor species of the 80-chromosome G. tabacina (NAR). The lack of exact genome homology may be attributed to the geographical isolation, natural mutation, and growing environmental conditions since the inception of 80-chromosome G. tabacina. Thus, it is logical to suggest that the 80-chromosome G. tabacina (NAR) is a complex, probably synthesized from A genome (G. canescens, G. clandestina, G. argyrea, G. tomentella D4 isozyme group) and B genome (G. latifolia, G. microphylla, G. tabacina) species, and the 80-chromosome G. tabacina (WAR) complex was evolved through segmental allopolyploidy from the B genome species.Key words: Glycine spp., allopolyploidy, colchicine, genome, intra- and inter-specific hybridization, polyploid complex.

Hybrid Weakness

The present study furnishes information about the current status of knowledge concerning the genomic relationships among 9 of the 12 wild perennial species (2n = 40) of the subgenus Glycine. Crossability rate, hybrid inviability, and meiotic pairing in intra- and inter-specific F1 hybrids revealed that genomically similar species, though morphologically distinct, crossed readily to produce hybrid progeny that were vigorous, fertile, and normal in meiotic pairing (20 bivalents at metaphase I). However, a chromatin bridge and acentric fragment were recorded in certain hybrid combinations, suggesting that the evolutionary divergence in genomically similar species occurred because of paracentric inversions. In contrast, crosses between genomically dissimilar species set pods that often aborted, showed hybrid weakness, seedling and vegetative lethality, seed inviability, and complete sterility. The sterility was attributed to disturbed meiotic pairing. It is obvious from this study that A-genome species such as G. canescens (AA) G. clandestina (intermediate pod, A1A1, and long pod, A2A2), and G. argyrea (A3A3), and B-genome species such as G. microphylla (BB), G. latifolia (B1B1), and G. tabacina (B2B2) predominate in the subgenus Glycine. Glycine cyrtoloba (CC) showed stronger genome homology to B-genome species than to A-genome species. Likewise, G. tomentella (DD) appeared to be more closely associated with A-genome species than to B-genome species. Although tomentellas with 38 and 40 chromosomes were indistinguishable morphologically, they differed genomically. Therefore, genome symbol EE was assigned to the 38-chromosome G. tomentella. Glycine falcata (FF) was found to be the most unusual species because it showed negligible chromosome homology with A- and B-genome species and did not set pods when cross-pollinated by C-, D-, and E-genome species.Key words: Glycine spp., genome, hybridization.

To assess the chromosomal relationships in the cultivated diploid Brassica species, four digenomic triploid combinations were synthesized and meiotically analyzed. Two of the four digenomic combinations contained the B genome of B. nigra, one with two (BC.B) and the other with only one B genome (C.BC). In these combinations preferential pairing between the two homologous genomes with the third single genome was predominant. Since gene actions suppressing pairing between chromosomes of related genomes had not been proven to exist in Brassica, this phenomenon is assumed to be conditioned by structural chromosomal differences reflecting the distant phylogenetic relationship of B. nigra to each of B. oleracea (CC) and B. campestris (AA). On the other hand, two other digenomic triploids having two A genomes and one C genome showed a low preferential pairing of the two homologous A genomes (to form 10 II + 9 I). Moreover, a high tendency for an allosyndetic pairing between the A and C genomes was expressed by the formation of one or more trivalents in over 50% of PMCs in the two combinations A.AC and AC.A. This demonstrated a high meiotic pairing potential and a small evolutionary difference between the chromosomes of B. campestris (AA) and B. oleracea (CC).

Abstract Hexaploid bread wheat (Triticum aestivum L. em. Thell) is one of the world's most important crop plants and displays a very low level of intraspecific polymorphism. We report the development of highly polymorphic microsatellite markers using procedures optimized for the large wheat genome. The isolation of microsatellite-containing clones from hypomethylated regions of the wheat genome increased the proportion of useful markers almost twofold. The majority (80%) of primer sets developed are genome-specific and detect only a single locus in one of the three genomes of bread wheat (A, B, or D). Only 20% of the markers detect more than one locus. A total of 279 loci amplified by 230 primer sets were placed onto a genetic framework map composed of RFLPs previously mapped in the reference population of the International Triticeae Mapping Initiative (ITMI) Opata 85 × W7984. Sixty-five microsatellites were mapped at a LOD >2.5, and 214 microsatellites were assigned to the most likely intervals. Ninety-three loci were mapped to the A genome, 115 to the B genome, and 71 to the D genome. The markers are randomly distributed along the linkage map, with clustering in several centromeric regions.

Abstract Background and Aims Modern sugarcane cultivars (Saccharum spp.) are high polyploids, aneuploids (2n = ~12x = ~120) derived from interspecific hybridizations between the domesticated sweet species Saccharum officinarum and the wild species S. spontaneum. Methods To analyse the architecture and origin of such a complex genome, we analysed the sequences of all 12 hom(oe)ologous haplotypes (BAC clones) from two distinct genomic regions of a typical modern cultivar, as well as the corresponding sequence in Miscanthus sinense and Sorghum bicolor, and monitored their distribution among representatives of the Saccharum genus. Key Results The diversity observed among haplotypes suggested the existence of three founding genomes (A, B, C) in modern cultivars, which diverged between 0.8 and 1.3 Mya. Two genomes (A, B) were contributed by S. officinarum; these were also found in its wild presumed ancestor S. robustum, and one genome (C) was contributed by S. spontaneum. These results suggest that S. officinarum and S. robustum are derived from interspecific hybridization between two unknown ancestors (A and B genomes). The A genome contributed most haplotypes (nine or ten) while the B and C genomes contributed one or two haplotypes in the regions analysed of this typical modern cultivar. Interspecific hybridizations likely involved accessions or gametes with distinct ploidy levels and/or were followed by a series of backcrosses with the A genome. The three founding genomes were found in all S. barberi, S. sinense and modern cultivars analysed. None of the analysed accessions contained only the A genome or the B genome, suggesting that representatives of these founding genomes remain to be discovered. Conclusions This evolutionary model, which combines interspecificity and high polyploidy, can explain the variable chromosome pairing affinity observed in Saccharum. It represents a major revision of the understanding of Saccharum diversity.

First Time

Intergeneric hybrids were synthesized for the first time from the diploid crosses Thinopyrum elongatum (JeJe) × Psathyrostachys juncea (NjNj), T. elongatum × P. fragilis (NfNf), T. bessarabicum (JbJb) × P. huashanica (NhNh), and T. bessarabicum × P. juncea, as well as from a cross between the amphidiploid of T. bessarabicum × T. elongatum (JbJbJeJe) and P. juncea. Spikes of these hybrids are morphologically intermediate between those of the parental species. Double spikelets occurred occasionally at central nodes of the spikes. Glaucous blue leaves appeared in the F1 only in the cross T. bessarabicum × P. huashanica, suggesting that the gene(s) for glaucous blue leaves in T. bessarabicum is (are) recessive to a gene(s) for green leaves in P. juncea but is (are) dominant to that for yellowish green leaves in P. huashanica. Meiotic pairing at metaphase I in these diploid (JN) and triploid (JJN) hybrids revealed a very low level of homology between the basic J and N genome. Therefore, the J and N genomes are nonhomologous and justifiably represented by different genome symbols. The triploid hybrids exhibited a pattern of chromosome associations that substantiated the earlier conclusion that the genomes in T. bessarabicum and T. elongatum are two versions of a basic genome (J). These hybrids will be useful in genome analysis, forming new Leymus species with the J and N genomes and broadening the diversity in the genus Pascopyrum with the SHJN genomes.Key words: hybrid, Thinopyrum, Psathyrostachys, genome.

Duplicate Loci

The progenitor diploid genomes (A and C) of the amphidiploid Brassica napus are extensively duplicated with 73% of genomic clones detecting two or more duplicate sequences within each of the diploid genomes. This comprehensive duplication of loci is to be expected in a species that has evolved through a polyploid ancestor. The majority of the duplicate loci within each of the diploid genomes were found in distinct linkage groups as collinear blocks of linked loci, some of which had undergone a variety of rearrangements subsequent to duplication, including inversions and translocations. A number of identical rearrangements were observed in the two diploid genomes, suggesting they had occurred before the divergence of the two species. A number of linkage groups displayed an organization consistent with centric fusion and (or) fission, suggesting this mechanism may have played a role in the evolution of Brassica genomes. For almost every genetically mapped locus detected in the A genome a homologous locus was found in the C genome; the collinear arrangement of these homologous markers allowed the primary regions of homoeology between the two genomes to be identified. At least 16 gross chromosomal rearrangements differentiated the two diploid genomes during their divergence from a common ancestor.Key words: genome evolution, Brassicaeae, polyploidy, homoeologous linkage groups.

A physical map of the locations of the 5S rDNA genes and their relative positions with respect to 18S–5.8S–26S rDNA genes and a C genome specific repetitive DNA sequence was produced for the chromosomes of diploid, tetraploid, and hexaploid oat species using in situ hybridization. The A genome diploid species showed two pairs of rDNA loci and two pairs of 5S loci located on both arms of one pair of satellited chromosomes. The C genome diploid species showed two major pairs and one minor pair of rDNA loci. One pair of subtelocentric chromosomes carried rDNA and 5S loci physically separated on the long arm. The tetraploid species (AACC genomes) arising from these diploid ancestors showed two pairs of rDNA loci and three pairs of 5S loci. Two pairs of rDNA loci and 2 pairs of 5S loci were arranged as in the A genome diploid species. The third pair of 5S loci was located on one pair of A–C translocated chromosomes using simultaneous in situ hybridization with 5S rDNA genes and a C genome specific repetitive DNA sequence. The hexaploid species (AACCDD genomes) showed three pairs of rDNA loci and six pairs of 5S loci. One pair of 5S loci was located on each of two pairs of C–A/D translocated chromosomes. Comparative studies of the physical arrangement of rDNA and 5S loci in polyploid oats and the putative A and C genome progenitor species suggests that A genome diploid species could be the donor of both A and D genomes of polyploid oats. Key words : oats, 5S rDNA genes, 18S–5.8S–26S rDNA genes, C genome specific repetitive DNA sequence, in situ hybridization, genome evolution.
