Selection of alien addition lines was conducted by karyotype analysis and morphological observation with the reference of parents. Triploid interspecies hybrid （AAC, 2n = 3x = 29） was obtained from Brassica campestris ssp. chinensis var. parachinensis Qinglu 9601 （tetraploid, AAAA, 2n = 4x = 40） x B. oleracea var. alboglabra Baihua 9705 （diploid, CC, 2n = 2x = 18） by immature hybrid embryo culture in vitro. Five different alien monosomic addition lines （AA ＋ C2, AA ＋ C3, AA ＋ C4, AA ＋ C6, AA ＋ C7） were obtained from the backcross progenies of AAC x AA. Each alien monosomic addition line has some specific morphological characters. It is feasible to obtain alien addition lines from the progenies of AAC × AA by karyotype analysis and morphological observation based on the reference of parents展开更多

Oocyte development is a critical process under rigorous control to prevent the generation of aberrant gametes. However, the regulatory mechanism of oocyte early development is not well-understood due to the tiny size and poor distinguishability of the gonad in juvenile stages. Here, two cyprinid hybrid fishes, a sterile allotriploid fish and a gynogenetic hybrid fish with delayed oocyte development, provided research models to investigate the mechanisms involved. We used cytogenetic and molecular methods to confirm the pachytene arrest of oocytes in allotriploid fish and gynogenetic hybrid fish. On the basis of these developmental differences, we screened 21 different histone H3 modifications by ELISA and found that four modifications(H3 K4 me3, H3 K9 me3, H3 K79 me, and H3 K79 me3) differed significantly in the two cyprinid hybrid fishes. Changes in histone methylation at the three residues(H3 K4, K9, K79) were caused by specific methyltransferases and demethylases. Our results provide new insights into the epigenetic regulation of oocyte early development in fish, a process critical for understanding of reproductive biology and with practical applications in the aquacultural breeding industry.展开更多

A total of 4,080 genes were differentially expressed between the high-growth vigor allotriploids （SDR-H） and their parents, and 719 genes were non-additively expressed in SDR-H. Differences in gene expres- sion between the allotriploid and male parent were more significant than those between the allotriploid and female parent, which may be caused by maternal effects. We observed 3,559 differentially expressed genes （DEGs） between the SDR-H and male parent. Notably, the genes were mainly involved in metabolic process, cell proliferation, DNA methylation, cell division, and meristem and developmental growth. Among the 1,056 DEGs between SDR-H and female parent, many genes were associated with metabolic process and carbon utilization. In addition, 1,789 DEGs between high- and low-growth vigorallotriploid were mainly associated with metabolic process, auxin poplar transport, and regulation of meristem growth. Our results indicated that the higher poplar ploidy level can generate extensive transcriptomic diversity compared with its parents. Overall, these results increased our understanding of the driving force for phenotypic variation and adaptation in allopolyploids driven by second-division restitution.展开更多
