In IR36, from pre-meiotic interphase to metaphase I, the pattern of microtubule distribution in the meiocytes underwent a series of changes. Some new organizational patterns of microtubules (that have not been described before) were observed during microsporogenesis, including the existence of a broad band of perinuclear microtubules at the diakinesis stage of development. The pattern of microtubule distribution in the meiocytes of the male sterile line, Peiai 64S, was quite different front that seen in IR36. In Peiai 64S, the microtubules showed abnormal patterns of distribution from pre-meiotic interphase to metaphase I. For example the broad band of perinuclear microtubules seen at diakinesis in IR36 was much disorganized and loosened in Peiai 64S. The spindles formed were also very abnormal and different from the normal spindle. The appearance of abnormal microtubule distribution in the early stages of microsporogenesis may contribute to the malformation and ultimate abortion of pollen in Peiai 64S.展开更多

Before flowering, the treated spikes were emasculated and bagged. After 2-3 d, the emasculated flowerets were pollinated using pollens from T. aestivum cv. Chinese Spring. One plant with two translocation chromosomes involved in both the long and short arm of 5Lr was detected in the M1 by GISH. The plant was crossed with line DA5Lr, and its progenies with one 5Lr and two translocation chromosomes were analyzed for chromosome pairing behavior in their pollen mother cells (PMCs). A cross-shaped configuration at diplonema and Z-shaped or ring-shaped quadrivalent configuration at metaphase I were observed, indicating that the two translocation chromosomes were reciprocal translocation. Chromosome C-banding indicated that the wheat chromosomes involved in the reciprocal translocation belonged to A- or D-genome. Fluorescence in situ hybridization using pSc119.2 and pAs1 as the probe found that only pAs1 signals were present in the wheat chromosome segments of the two translocation chromosomes. Combining these results, the reciprocal chromosomal translocation was designated as T7DS·5LrL/5LrS·7DL. The two transloca- tion chromosomes were found to be transmitted together in the gametes of heterozygous reciprocal translocation plants with the transmission ratios of 59.4% in the female gametes and 83.9% in the male gametes, revealing preferential pollen transmission. In the self-fertilized progenies of the heterozygous reciprocal translocation, a line with the homozygous translocation line with a pair of translocation chromosome T7DS·5LrL was identified. The T7DS·5Lr translocation line was highly resistant to wheat scab and can be used as a potential and new source in wheat improvement for scab resistance.展开更多

In the restorer line, Ce64, the developing microsporocytes have dense cytoplasm and a distinct set of circumferential microtubules around the nucleus. Successive cytokinesis results in the formation of tetrads. The microtubules within the cells of tetrads and microspores radiate from the surface of the nucleus towards the outer edge of the cytoplasm. Subsequent pollen development is normal. During the course of microspore formation tubulin speckles can be found in the cytoplasm. The general pattern of development and microtubule organization in the maintainer lined Zhen Shan 97B, is similar to Ce64, except that a few more tubulin speckles appear during microspore formation. In the case of the mate sterile line, Zhen Shan 97A, a number of abnormalities can be discerned during early microsporogenesis. These include vacuoles forming within the developing microsporocyte and faintly stained microtubules with no defined distribution pattern. Prominent tubulin speckles are common within the cytoplasm. For those microsporocytes that undergo meiosis, no defined organizational patterns of microtubules can be found within the tetrad. All microspores abort soon after. Abnormalities and defects in microtubule organization observed in Zhen Shan 97A showed that complex interactions between the cytoplasm and the nucleus began at very early stage of microsporocyte development.展开更多
