The samples were separated on a C18 ultra-column （100 mm×2.1 ram, 1.8 μm） eluted with a mixture of acetonitrile and 0.1% formic acid using a gradient program. Based on the accurate masses, fragmental MS2 ions and fragmentation pathway, we unambiguously affirmed or tentatively identified 30 compounds, including 11 phenolic acids, 10 iridoid glycosides, 8 fiavonoids and 1 saponin, from JYH and JFYH. Among them, all compounds were detected in Lonicerajaponica, but only 21 compounds were detected in JFYH. In addition, the relative contents of the 21 common chemical constituents were also different in JYH and JFYH, suggesting an obvious chemical difference between JYH and JFYH.展开更多

[Method] 0.6%, 1.2% and 2.4% EMS solutions were used for inducing 2 400 stem segments of test-tube plantlets of tetraploid potato Longshu 7, and an asexual mutant population including leaf, plant type, stem, stolon, glandular hair traits was constructed. [Result] Twenty two mutation types, i.e. etiolated plantlet, albino plantlet, leaf-color gradient, etiolated vein, wrapped bud, lobed leaf, crinkled leaf, deformed compound leaf, cluster, branch, top enlargement, top bifurcation, succulent, stolon distortion, stolon shift, early tuberization, hair stolon, stem enlargement, vine stem, foliage stem, glandular hair and whorled leaf types were observed in total. There were 52 mutant single plants in total, with a mutation rate of 21.67‰. [Conclusion] The glandular hair, clustered short-stem, branched stem and early tuberization types of mutants have higher application value, and are anticipated to be used in potato functional genome research, gene improvement and germplasm innovation.展开更多

It was found that in the ovule development period of tetraploid R. pseudoacacia from 15 d after coronal opening, the levels of growth-promoting endogenous hormones in abortive ovules were lower than those in normal ovules, and the level of a growth-inhibiting hormone was always higher than those in normal ovules, indicating that ovule abortion of tetraploid R. pseudoacacia might be related to abnormal endogenous phytohormones in ovules. This study laid a foundation for further study on highly sterile phenomenon of tetraploid R. pseudoacacia seeds.展开更多

The phenotype ofheterosis and inbreeding depression over generations in their parents and progenies of F1, F2 and F3 were investigated.The results indicated that different duplex tetraploids have different genetic backgrounds, but they acquire maximumheterosis at same traits, such as the leaf length, leaf width, culm circumference and days to flowering. P.N. rises muchfaster from the F2 to F3 segment than the A.W. does for the plant height in duplex tetraploids. In comparing duplex andquadraplex over a generation the quadriplex is showing the greatest heterosis in plant height, leaf height, leaf width anddays to flowering. Most of the examples achieve the maximum heterosis at Qu F2, with the exception of culm circumference,which achieves greatest heterosis at PNAW F1. Meanwhile, this experiment shows that quadraplex tetraploids has distinctadditional favorable alleles that are not contained in duplex tetraploid, this is demonstrated by the heterosis found incrosses between the two duplex tetraploid. This finding helps explain quadraploids superiority and unique breedingbehavior, in which, the progressive heterosis and inbreeding depression in maize are due mainly to linkage disequilibrium.The severe inbreeding depression in duplex tetraploids is due mainly to the rapid loss of complementary chromosomes orgenes interactions in the first few generation of inbreeding. Correspondingly, the progressive heterosis in quadraplextetraploids is due mainly to a progressive increase in complementarities of homologous chromosomes or genes interactions.Greater complementarities of homologous chromosomes or genes interactions in tetraploids maize alse helps explainrecent molecular biology research indicating that some of traits in quadraplex tetraploids are more responsive to geneticdiversity than in duplex tetraploids. In addition, the dosage effect of polyploid in relation to the genetic basis of heterosisand inbreeding depression were discussed also.展开更多

In controlled growth chamber experiments, a tetraploid turnip （cv. Aijiaohuang, 4n） and its diploid progenitor （cv. Aijiaohuang, 2n） were evaluated for their tolerance to salinity stress via investigations on a group of physiological parameters. The results indicate that the tetraploid turnip exhibit better adaptation to a high concentration salt medium （200 mmol L-1）, as evidenced by a less-affected germination rate and a healthier morphological appearance at the seedling stage. Furthermore, an extension of salinity stress up to a certain period of time at the 5-7-leaf stage shows differences between the tetraploid turnip and its diploid progenitor. The former had a higher K＋/Na＋ ratio in the roots, higher glutathione concentration and antioxidant activities in the leaves, and smaller reductions in photosynthetic capacity in terms of leaf chlorophyll content. Studies on the differences between an autopolyploid and its respective relative, from which the autopolyploid originated, in terms of their tolerance to salinity and/or other abiotic stresses, have remained rather limited. The comparison is interesting due to a homogenous genetic background.展开更多

To investigate the complex genetic basis of these traits in the cultivated potato, as well as the relationship between them, we developed a linkage map in a tetraploid population of 192 clones derived from the cross Longshu 8 × Zaodabai and mapped quantitative trait loci(QTL) for tuber starch content and plant maturity using data collected in three diverse environments over two years. We detected eleven QTL for tuber starch content distributed on seven chromosomes, of which four, on chromosomes I, II, and VIII, were expressed in at least three environments. For plant maturity, we identified six QTL on chromosomes II, IV,V, VII, and XI, one of which, on chromosome V, showed LOD peaks ranging from 45.2 to 62.5 cM and explained 21.6%–26.6% of phenotypic variation was expressed in five of the six environments. Because the reproducible QTL for plant maturity and tuber starch content mapped to different chromosomes and neither overlapping QTL, nor any genetic interaction between QTL were detected, we infer that tuber starch content and plant maturity are controlled by independent genetic loci. This inference supports the prospect of breeding potato for both early maturity and high starch content.展开更多

To further study the generality and characteristics of allopolyploidization-induced genomic instability in wheat, we investigated genetic and epigenetic changes from a genome-wide perspective （by using the AFLP and MSAP markers） in four sets of newly synthesized allotetraploid wheat lines with various genome constitutions, each containing three randomly chosen individual plants at the same generation. We document that although general chromosomal stability was characteristic of all four sets of allotetraploid wheat lines, genetic and epigenetic changes at the molecular level occurred in all these plants, with both kinds of changes classifiable into two distinct categories, i.e., stochastic and directed. The abundant type of genetic change is loss of parental bands while the prevalent cytosine methylation pattern alteration is hypermethylation at the CHG sites. Our results have extended previous studies regarding allopolyploidization-induced genomic dynamics in wheat by demonstrafing the generality of both genetic and epigenetic changes associated with multiple nascent allotetraploid wheat lines, and providing novel insights into the characteristics of the two kinds of induced genomic instabilities.展开更多

Considerable amounts of these triterpenoids are available in the outer bark of white birch. In this study, we used ultrasound-assisted extraction （UAE） to extract triterpenoids from birch bark rapidly and with high efficiency. Using high performance liquid chro- matography （HPLC）, three types of triterpenoids were separated and detected. We examined the differences among triterpenoids extracted from diploid versus tetra- ploid white birch. Then, we used factor analysis to screen out tetraploid white birches with comprehensively excel- lent performance. The results indicate that the optimum conditions for extraction include the use of ethanol as an extraction solvent, a solid-to-liquid ratio of 0.1 g/10 ml, ultrasonic power set at 100 W, a temperature of 60 ℃ and an extraction time of 15 min. A reversed-phase C18 col- umn （4.6 mm × 250 mm × 5 μm） with a column tem- perature of 30 ℃ and the mobile phase composed of A （acetonitrile） and B （0.1% aqueous phosphoric acid, v/v） at a flow rate of 0.5 ml/min were used, and the detection wavelength was 195 nm. No significant difference wasobserved between diploid and tetraploid white birch in terms of the content of three types of triterpenoids （at a confidence level of 0.05）. As triterpenoid content, height, and DBH （diameter at breast height） are strongly interre- lated, we used factor analysis to evaluate all individuals, and we screened out six plus trees with excellent com- prehensive characters.展开更多

It plays an important role in improving forage utilization, solving the problem of forage provision and meeting the nutritional needs of livestock in winter and spring. The effects of various supplements on tetraploid black locust （Robinia pseudoacacia L.） silage were studied by analyzing its color, odor, texture, pH value, the composition and amount of organic acids, the ammonia-N/total-N ratio, crude protein, neutral detergent fibers and acid detergent fibers. Our results show that the silage quality of wilted tetraploid R. pseudoacacia preserved alone is acceptable, while adding brown sugar and Yishengkang to tetraploid R. pseudoacacia foliage improved its quality. The treatments consisting of the tet- raploid R. pseudoacacia mixed with 33% and 50% corn stalk achieved the best silage quality in terms ofpH value （p 〈 0.01）, amount of lactic acid （p 〈 0.01）, the ammonia-N/total-N ratio （p 〈 0.01） and the fermentation quality. These treatments also resulted in a high content of crude protein and lower amounts of acid detergent fibers. The treatment consisting of the tetraploid R. pseudoacacia mixed with 20% corn stalk was also good in the quality of its fermentation.展开更多

In this study, four artificially induced maize tetraploids, directly derived from standard inbred lines, were crossed in pairs to create two single-cross hybrids. These hybrids were then crossed to create double-cross hybrids containing genetic material from all four original lines. Replicated fieldbased phenotyping of the materials over four years indicated a strong progressive heterosis phenotype in tetraploids but not in their diploid counterparts. In particular, the above ground dry weight phenotype of double-cross tetraploid hybrids was on average 34% and 56% heavier than that of the single-cross tetraploid hybrids and the double-cross diploid counterparts, respectively. Additionally,whole-genome resequencing of the original inbred lines and further analysis of these data did not show the expected spectrum of alleles to explain tetraploid progressive heterosis under the complementation of complete recessive model. These results underscore the reality of the progressive heterosis phenotype,its potential utility for increasing crop biomass production, and the need for exploring alternative hypothesis to explain it at a molecular level.展开更多

Materials &. Methods hCGβ-CTP37 tetraploid cDNA was constructed by linking four hCGβ-CTP37 cDNAs together. The product was then subcloned into the E. coli expres- sion vector pQE60 to construct the expression vector pQE60/ (hCGβ-CTP37)4. Recom- binant (hCGβ-CTP37)4 was expressed in E. colt-X-blue. Results Western blot analysis showed that the tetraploid of hCGβ-CTP37 had an ap- parent molecular weight of 20 kD and had relatively stronger anti-hCG antibody-bind- ing activity compared with the diploid from. Conclusion The tetraploid of hCGβ-CTP37 may be a more potent immunogen for raising anti-hCG vaccines for fertility regulation or suppression of tumor.展开更多

Measurements show that the induction rates of tetraploid in the embryos inspected are 28%, 30%, 28. 4% and 35. 8% for heat-shock (39℃, 3 min),cold-shock (10℃, 3min),chlorpromazinum (0. 375 mg/dm3, 10 min) and traditional Chinese medicine (50 g/dm3 )extract (57 cm3, 10 min),respectively. The tetraploid induction rate in the larvae treated with traditional Chinese medicine is 32. 5%.It is evident that the induction rate of tetraploid in embryos insected at an early stage is the most remarkable when treated. with traditional Chinese medicine.展开更多

文摘Crassostrea gigas is distinguished by its robust fertility,adaptability to various environmental conditions,and rich nutritional profile,which render it a cornerstone of the global shellfish market.Tetraploid oysters,in particular,is a pivotal role within the oyster industry,however,their growth and survival characteristics need to be improved.This study aimed to assess the viability of enhancing the growth and survival characteristics of tetraploid C.gigas through genetic selection.This was achieved by investigating the heritability and genetic correlation of growth and survival at various stages of C.gigas development.Genetic parameters were assessed based on in-group correlations in 28 full-sib families during the larval stage(days 3,8,13,18,and 23 after fertilization).The heritability of larval shell height and shell length ranged from 0.50 to 0.71 and 0.44 to 0.71,respectively,and varied with age.The heritability of larval survival was 0.40–0.64,indicating that it is viable to enhancelarval survival through selection.The genetic correlation between the growth traits of larvae at different ages was highly positive(0.959–0.999),indicating that the selection of a single growth trait could cause the positive response of other growth traits.However,the genetic correlation between larval survival and growth traits was low,showing a significant negative correlation(-0.198–-0.293)at day 23 of age,suggesting thatselecting for enhanced survival in tetraploid C.gigas may result in a detrimental impact on growth traits.The results are helpful for future researches to evaluate the genetic parameters related to growth and survival traits in juvenile and adult stages of the tetraploid family of C.gigas,which can provide further guidance for the selection of tetraploid C.gigas.

文摘Tetraploid oysters frequently exhibit growth and survival rates inferior to diploid and triploid oysters.Tetraploid Pacific oysters(Crassostrea gigas)are pivotal as broodstock in the triploid C.gigas industry.However,the high mortality of tetraploid C.gigas has occurred in production practice with the increasing temperature.The transcriptional patterns of high temperature-susceptible and-tolerant tetraploid C.gigas were compared in response to prolonged thermal treatment.The H was defined as oysters that have not been thermally treated.The susceptible and tolerant oysters after thermal treatment were designed as TS and TH,respectively.The survival rate of tetraploid C.gigas was low(6.33%±2.87%)after thermal treatment.A total of 5147,5250,and 433 differentially expressed genes(DEGs)were detected in TS vs.TH,TS vs.H,and TH vs.H groups,respectively.Functional enrichment analysis indicated that DEGs were notably enriched in various pathways,including the NF-kappa B signaling pathway,apoptosis,TNF signaling pathway,and arginine and proline metabolism,across both TS vs.TH and TS vs.H groups.Among the DEGs under thermal treatment in susceptible oysters,the translation regulation genes like eIF2a kinase 1,eIF2a kinase 3,MKNK1,and ATF-4 exhibited differential expressions.Susceptible oysters displayed a higher number of differentially expressed IAP genes compared to tolerant oysters,while the expression pattern of HSP genes differed between susceptible and tolerant oysters.This study underscores the contrasting response of susceptible and tolerant tetraploid C.gigas to thermal treatment,suggesting that high temperature-susceptible tetraploid C.gigas may be more responsive to rapid alterations in immune response and apoptosis compared to high temperature-tolerant tetraploid C.gigas.It is necessary to improve the high temperature tolerance of tetraploid C.gigas by selective breeding to promote the development of the triploid industry.

文摘With their high economic value and cultural significance,modern roses are one of the most important ornamental plants.Because of their complicated genetic background and tetraploid nature,the creation of high-density genetic maps of roses has been a challenge that has slowed the pace of molecular breeding for modern roses.The current construction of tetraploid genetic maps based on existing diploid rose genomes could lead to inaccurate marker information and genotyping results.Therefore,we generated the first high-quality tetraploid genome of Rosa chinensis‘Yunzheng Xiawei.'Utilizing Illumina,PacBio,and Hi-C sequencing technologies,we assembled a genome of 858.59 Mb with 14pseudo-chromosomes.Mode of inheritance analysis using PolyOrigin indicated that modern roses show both quadrivalent and bivalent pairing.Based on this reference genome,high-density genetic maps were constructed using MSTmap with nearly saturated markers.Quantitative trait locus(QTL)analysis was conducted using WinQTLCart and R/qtl for flavonoids and carotenoids,and 11 QTL clusters were identified.By combining the genome annotation,phylogenetic analyses,and gene expression analyses,we were able to identify several key genes related to flavonoid and carotenoid biosynthesis.This study provides the basis for further genetic analyses of highly heterozygous tetraploid roses and could facilitate the progress of marker-assisted selection in modern roses.
文摘In the present study, we, for the first time, developed an UPLC-IT-TOF/MS method to compare the chemical constituents of the flower buds of Lonicera japonica Thunb. （Jinyinhua, JYH, in Chinese） and its tetraploid cultivar Jiufengyihao （JFYH）. The samples were separated on a C18 ultra-column （100 mm×2.1 ram, 1.8 μm） eluted with a mixture of acetonitrile and 0.1% formic acid using a gradient program. Based on the accurate masses, fragmental MS2 ions and fragmentation pathway, we unambiguously affirmed or tentatively identified 30 compounds, including 11 phenolic acids, 10 iridoid glycosides, 8 fiavonoids and 1 saponin, from JYH and JFYH. Among them, all compounds were detected in Lonicerajaponica, but only 21 compounds were detected in JFYH. In addition, the relative contents of the 21 common chemical constituents were also different in JYH and JFYH, suggesting an obvious chemical difference between JYH and JFYH.
文摘[Objective] This study was conducted to detect the variation induction ability of ethyl methanesulfonate （EMS）, to construct a mutant population. [Method] 0.6%, 1.2% and 2.4% EMS solutions were used for inducing 2 400 stem segments of test-tube plantlets of tetraploid potato Longshu 7, and an asexual mutant population including leaf, plant type, stem, stolon, glandular hair traits was constructed. [Result] Twenty two mutation types, i.e. etiolated plantlet, albino plantlet, leaf-color gradient, etiolated vein, wrapped bud, lobed leaf, crinkled leaf, deformed compound leaf, cluster, branch, top enlargement, top bifurcation, succulent, stolon distortion, stolon shift, early tuberization, hair stolon, stem enlargement, vine stem, foliage stem, glandular hair and whorled leaf types were observed in total. There were 52 mutant single plants in total, with a mutation rate of 21.67‰. [Conclusion] The glandular hair, clustered short-stem, branched stem and early tuberization types of mutants have higher application value, and are anticipated to be used in potato functional genome research, gene improvement and germplasm innovation.
文摘This study was conducted to investigate ovule abortion of tetraploid Robinia pseudoacacia and its reasons. It was found that in the ovule development period of tetraploid R. pseudoacacia from 15 d after coronal opening, the levels of growth-promoting endogenous hormones in abortive ovules were lower than those in normal ovules, and the level of a growth-inhibiting hormone was always higher than those in normal ovules, indicating that ovule abortion of tetraploid R. pseudoacacia might be related to abnormal endogenous phytohormones in ovules. This study laid a foundation for further study on highly sterile phenomenon of tetraploid R. pseudoacacia seeds.

文摘The maize quadraplex tetraploids and duplex tetraploids were developed using Kato’s protocols. The phenotype ofheterosis and inbreeding depression over generations in their parents and progenies of F1, F2 and F3 were investigated.The results indicated that different duplex tetraploids have different genetic backgrounds, but they acquire maximumheterosis at same traits, such as the leaf length, leaf width, culm circumference and days to flowering. P.N. rises muchfaster from the F2 to F3 segment than the A.W. does for the plant height in duplex tetraploids. In comparing duplex andquadraplex over a generation the quadriplex is showing the greatest heterosis in plant height, leaf height, leaf width anddays to flowering. Most of the examples achieve the maximum heterosis at Qu F2, with the exception of culm circumference,which achieves greatest heterosis at PNAW F1. Meanwhile, this experiment shows that quadraplex tetraploids has distinctadditional favorable alleles that are not contained in duplex tetraploid, this is demonstrated by the heterosis found incrosses between the two duplex tetraploid. This finding helps explain quadraploids superiority and unique breedingbehavior, in which, the progressive heterosis and inbreeding depression in maize are due mainly to linkage disequilibrium.The severe inbreeding depression in duplex tetraploids is due mainly to the rapid loss of complementary chromosomes orgenes interactions in the first few generation of inbreeding. Correspondingly, the progressive heterosis in quadraplextetraploids is due mainly to a progressive increase in complementarities of homologous chromosomes or genes interactions.Greater complementarities of homologous chromosomes or genes interactions in tetraploids maize alse helps explainrecent molecular biology research indicating that some of traits in quadraplex tetraploids are more responsive to geneticdiversity than in duplex tetraploids. In addition, the dosage effect of polyploid in relation to the genetic basis of heterosisand inbreeding depression were discussed also.

文摘Polyploidy is pursued in plant breeding programs due mainly to its ability to yield larger vegetative or reproductive organs. In controlled growth chamber experiments, a tetraploid turnip （cv. Aijiaohuang, 4n） and its diploid progenitor （cv. Aijiaohuang, 2n） were evaluated for their tolerance to salinity stress via investigations on a group of physiological parameters. The results indicate that the tetraploid turnip exhibit better adaptation to a high concentration salt medium （200 mmol L-1）, as evidenced by a less-affected germination rate and a healthier morphological appearance at the seedling stage. Furthermore, an extension of salinity stress up to a certain period of time at the 5-7-leaf stage shows differences between the tetraploid turnip and its diploid progenitor. The former had a higher K＋/Na＋ ratio in the roots, higher glutathione concentration and antioxidant activities in the leaves, and smaller reductions in photosynthetic capacity in terms of leaf chlorophyll content. Studies on the differences between an autopolyploid and its respective relative, from which the autopolyploid originated, in terms of their tolerance to salinity and/or other abiotic stresses, have remained rather limited. The comparison is interesting due to a homogenous genetic background.

文摘Tuber starch content and plant maturity are two important agronomic traits of potato. To investigate the complex genetic basis of these traits in the cultivated potato, as well as the relationship between them, we developed a linkage map in a tetraploid population of 192 clones derived from the cross Longshu 8 × Zaodabai and mapped quantitative trait loci(QTL) for tuber starch content and plant maturity using data collected in three diverse environments over two years. We detected eleven QTL for tuber starch content distributed on seven chromosomes, of which four, on chromosomes I, II, and VIII, were expressed in at least three environments. For plant maturity, we identified six QTL on chromosomes II, IV,V, VII, and XI, one of which, on chromosome V, showed LOD peaks ranging from 45.2 to 62.5 cM and explained 21.6%–26.6% of phenotypic variation was expressed in five of the six environments. Because the reproducible QTL for plant maturity and tuber starch content mapped to different chromosomes and neither overlapping QTL, nor any genetic interaction between QTL were detected, we infer that tuber starch content and plant maturity are controlled by independent genetic loci. This inference supports the prospect of breeding potato for both early maturity and high starch content.

文摘Previous studies have shown rapid and extensive genomic However, these studies are based on either a few pre-selected instability associated with early stages of allopolyploidization in wheat. genomic loci or genome-wide analysis of a single plant individual for a given cross combination, thus making the extent and generality of the changes uncertain. To further study the generality and characteristics of allopolyploidization-induced genomic instability in wheat, we investigated genetic and epigenetic changes from a genome-wide perspective （by using the AFLP and MSAP markers） in four sets of newly synthesized allotetraploid wheat lines with various genome constitutions, each containing three randomly chosen individual plants at the same generation. We document that although general chromosomal stability was characteristic of all four sets of allotetraploid wheat lines, genetic and epigenetic changes at the molecular level occurred in all these plants, with both kinds of changes classifiable into two distinct categories, i.e., stochastic and directed. The abundant type of genetic change is loss of parental bands while the prevalent cytosine methylation pattern alteration is hypermethylation at the CHG sites. Our results have extended previous studies regarding allopolyploidization-induced genomic dynamics in wheat by demonstrafing the generality of both genetic and epigenetic changes associated with multiple nascent allotetraploid wheat lines, and providing novel insights into the characteristics of the two kinds of induced genomic instabilities.

文摘Betulin, oleanolic acid, and betulinic acid are naturally occurring pentacyclic triterpenoids that have significant medicinal value. Considerable amounts of these triterpenoids are available in the outer bark of white birch. In this study, we used ultrasound-assisted extraction （UAE） to extract triterpenoids from birch bark rapidly and with high efficiency. Using high performance liquid chro- matography （HPLC）, three types of triterpenoids were separated and detected. We examined the differences among triterpenoids extracted from diploid versus tetra- ploid white birch. Then, we used factor analysis to screen out tetraploid white birches with comprehensively excel- lent performance. The results indicate that the optimum conditions for extraction include the use of ethanol as an extraction solvent, a solid-to-liquid ratio of 0.1 g/10 ml, ultrasonic power set at 100 W, a temperature of 60 ℃ and an extraction time of 15 min. A reversed-phase C18 col- umn （4.6 mm × 250 mm × 5 μm） with a column tem- perature of 30 ℃ and the mobile phase composed of A （acetonitrile） and B （0.1% aqueous phosphoric acid, v/v） at a flow rate of 0.5 ml/min were used, and the detection wavelength was 195 nm. No significant difference wasobserved between diploid and tetraploid white birch in terms of the content of three types of triterpenoids （at a confidence level of 0.05）. As triterpenoid content, height, and DBH （diameter at breast height） are strongly interre- lated, we used factor analysis to evaluate all individuals, and we screened out six plus trees with excellent com- prehensive characters.

文摘Preparation of silage is a common method to preserve green forage. It plays an important role in improving forage utilization, solving the problem of forage provision and meeting the nutritional needs of livestock in winter and spring. The effects of various supplements on tetraploid black locust （Robinia pseudoacacia L.） silage were studied by analyzing its color, odor, texture, pH value, the composition and amount of organic acids, the ammonia-N/total-N ratio, crude protein, neutral detergent fibers and acid detergent fibers. Our results show that the silage quality of wilted tetraploid R. pseudoacacia preserved alone is acceptable, while adding brown sugar and Yishengkang to tetraploid R. pseudoacacia foliage improved its quality. The treatments consisting of the tet- raploid R. pseudoacacia mixed with 33% and 50% corn stalk achieved the best silage quality in terms ofpH value （p 〈 0.01）, amount of lactic acid （p 〈 0.01）, the ammonia-N/total-N ratio （p 〈 0.01） and the fermentation quality. These treatments also resulted in a high content of crude protein and lower amounts of acid detergent fibers. The treatment consisting of the tetraploid R. pseudoacacia mixed with 20% corn stalk was also good in the quality of its fermentation.

文摘Rose is one of the most important ornamental and economic plants in the world.Modern rose cultivars are primarily tetraploid,and during meiosis,they may exhibit double reduction or preferential chromosome pairing.Therefore,the construction of a high density genetic map of tetraploid rose is both challenging and instructive.In this study,a tetraploid rose population was used to conduct a genetic analysis using genome sequencing.A total of 17382 single nucleotide polymorphism(SNP)markers were selected from 2308042 detected SNPs.Combined with 440 previously developed simple sequence repeats(SSR)and amplified fragment length polymorphism(AFLP)markers,a marker dosage of 6885 high quality markers was successfully assigned by GATK software in the tetraploid model.These markers were used in the construction of a high density genetic map,containing the expected seven linkage groups with 6842 markers,a total map length of 1158.9 c M,and an average inter-marker distance of 0.18 c M.Quantitative trait locus(QTL)analysis was subsequently performed to characterize the genetic architecture of petal number and flower diameter.One major QTL(qpnum-3-1)was detected for petal number in three consecutive years,which explained 20.18–22.11%of the variation in petal number.Four QTLs were detected for flower diameter;the main locus,qfdia-2-2,was identified in two consecutive years.Our results will benefit the molecular marker-assisted breeding of modern rose cultivars.In addition,this study provides a guide for the genetic and QTL analysis of autotetraploid plants using sequencing-based genotyping methods.

文摘The supernumerary spikelets（SS）characters of tetraploid wheat（Triticum turgidum L.）resulting in more spikelets and kernels per spike,thus enhancing sink capacity may contribute to potential wheat yield improvement.In order to investigate the effect of different SS types on agronomic characters and understand the genetic base of SS phenotype in tetraploid wheat,near isogenic lines（NILs）,bh-50 with normal spikelets（NS）,bh-51 with four-rowed spikelets（FRS）,bh-52 with short-ramified spikelets（SRS）,and bh-53 with long-ramified spikelets（LRS）in a Triticum durum cv.ZY1286 genetic background were developed by continuous backcrossing.Agronomic characters showed that the SS phenotype lines,bh-51,bh-52and bh-53 have significant increase in the number of spikelets and grains per spike compared with the NS phenotype line bh-50（P〈0.05）,and bh-53 line showed much more increase than those of bh-51 and bh-52.However,bh-53 had the lowest grain weight and the longest spike development stage than those of other spike phenotypes.These results indicated that the different SS types have different effects on the agronomic and spike characters.Genetic analysis through bh-50/bh-51and bh-51/bh-53 F2 populations showed that a recessive major gene controlled the spike architecture to transform from NS to FRS,and a dominant major gene determined the change of spike phenotype from FRS to RS.DNA sequences of Tt BH/WFZP ortholog on chromosome 2AS revealed that a single nucleotide polymorphism（SNP）substitution happened in the open reading frame（ORF）region of all the SS tetraploid wheat accessions,which may lead to the generation of lateral meristems between glume and lemma during the immature spike development.While the fates of the lateral meristems,developing into lateral spikelets or branched spikelets,may be determined by another major gene.Our results presented here may advance our understanding and knowledge of the genes and genetic pathways determining the spike architecture development in wheat.

文摘Progressive heterosis, i.e., the additional hybrid vigor in double-cross tetraploid hybrids not found in their single-cross tetraploid parents, has been documented in a number of species including alfalfa,potato, and maize. In this study, four artificially induced maize tetraploids, directly derived from standard inbred lines, were crossed in pairs to create two single-cross hybrids. These hybrids were then crossed to create double-cross hybrids containing genetic material from all four original lines. Replicated fieldbased phenotyping of the materials over four years indicated a strong progressive heterosis phenotype in tetraploids but not in their diploid counterparts. In particular, the above ground dry weight phenotype of double-cross tetraploid hybrids was on average 34% and 56% heavier than that of the single-cross tetraploid hybrids and the double-cross diploid counterparts, respectively. Additionally,whole-genome resequencing of the original inbred lines and further analysis of these data did not show the expected spectrum of alleles to explain tetraploid progressive heterosis under the complementation of complete recessive model. These results underscore the reality of the progressive heterosis phenotype,its potential utility for increasing crop biomass production, and the need for exploring alternative hypothesis to explain it at a molecular level.
文摘This study was carried out to investigate the possible enhancement of im- munogenicity of the carboxyl-terminal peptide of β-hCG which is made up of 37 amino acid residues (109-145) and contains the specific epitope (antigenic determinant) of hCG. Materials &. Methods hCGβ-CTP37 tetraploid cDNA was constructed by linking four hCGβ-CTP37 cDNAs together. The product was then subcloned into the E. coli expres- sion vector pQE60 to construct the expression vector pQE60/ (hCGβ-CTP37)4. Recom- binant (hCGβ-CTP37)4 was expressed in E. colt-X-blue. Results Western blot analysis showed that the tetraploid of hCGβ-CTP37 had an ap- parent molecular weight of 20 kD and had relatively stronger anti-hCG antibody-bind- ing activity compared with the diploid from. Conclusion The tetraploid of hCGβ-CTP37 may be a more potent immunogen for raising anti-hCG vaccines for fertility regulation or suppression of tumor.

文摘Chinese cherry （Prunus pseudocerasus L.） is an allotetraploid species and exhibits natural self-compatibility.However,the full-length cDNA sequences,functional analysis and the transcripts of S-RNase alleles in Chinese cherry cultivars are not known.In the two cultivars Taixiaohongying and Laiyang Short Cherry with S1S2S3S4 genotypes,two S-RNases were transcribed in Northern blotting,and the two full-length cDNAs of S-RNase were cloned and analyzed.As the result,the transcribed S-RNases were S1-RNase and S2-RNase.The two complete cDNA sequences of S1-RNase and S2-RNase were registered as EU073938 and EU073939,respectively,and had characteristic structure of rosaceous S-RNases based on their sequences indicating that they had normal function for S-RNase in the style.The S3-RNase and S4-RNase were not transcribed in the style and were nonfunctional for S-RNase,so S3m and S4m could be used to represent the nonfunctional S3-RNase and S4-RNase.The phylogenetic analysis implied that the S-RNases of Prunus,including Chinese cherry,had lower intra-specific similarity and diverged earlier than the divergence of species in Prunus.

文摘Polyploid plants grow well,are stress tolerant,and are rich in nutrients and bioactive compounds.Thus,they are useful for improving crop quality and yield.In this study,we compared the seed characteristics and metabolite profiles of diploid and tetraploid tartary buckwheat,which was developed via an artificially induced chromosome doubling event.The length,width,area,and thousand-grain weight were greater for the tetraploid seeds than for the diploid seeds.However,the germination rate decreased for the tetraploid seeds.Additionally,there was a gap between the shell and kernel of the tetraploid seeds.Moreover,the water absorption rate was higher for the tetraploid than for the diploid seeds.Chromosome doubling increased the seed total flavonoid content and deepened the seed color.A principal component analysis of the ultrahigh-pressure liquid chromatography-high resolution mass spectrometry data revealed the clear separation between the diploid and tetraploid samples.An orthogonal partial least squares-discriminant analysis and other multivariate statistical analyses identified 83 differentially abundant compounds,with most of the flavonoid metabolites more abundant in the tetraploid than in the diploid seeds.Research on tartary buckwheat polyploidy may result in enhanced germplasm resources and may clarify the mechanism underlying the biosynthesis of bioactive compounds.
文摘In order to induce tetraploid into Jinjiang oyster (Crassostrea rivularis), embryos were treated with physical (cold or heat shock) and chemical (chlorpromazinum or traditional Chinese medicine)methods in the first 3 min before the cleavage of zygotes or at the onset of the first cleavage of one or two eggs. Measurements show that the induction rates of tetraploid in the embryos inspected are 28%, 30%, 28. 4% and 35. 8% for heat-shock (39℃, 3 min),cold-shock (10℃, 3min),chlorpromazinum (0. 375 mg/dm3, 10 min) and traditional Chinese medicine (50 g/dm3 )extract (57 cm3, 10 min),respectively. The tetraploid induction rate in the larvae treated with traditional Chinese medicine is 32. 5%.It is evident that the induction rate of tetraploid in embryos insected at an early stage is the most remarkable when treated. with traditional Chinese medicine.
