The intergeneric crosses between Brassica juncea (L.) Czern. & Coss., B. carinata A. Braun and Orychophragmus violaceus (L.) O. E. Schulz were made and the plants produced were subjected to genomic in situ hybridization analysis. The mixoploids from the cross with B. juncea were divided into three groups. The partially fertile mixoploids in the first group (2n = 36—42) mainly contained the somatic cells and pollen mother cells (PMCs) with the 36 chromosomes of B. juncea and additional chromosomes of O. violaceus. The mixoploids (2n = 30—36) in the second and third groups were morphologically quite similar to the mother plants B. juncea and showed nearly normal fertility. The plants in the second group produced the majority of PMCs (2n = 36) with their chromosomes paired and segregated normally, but 1—4 pairs of the O. violaceus chromosomes were included in some PMCs. The plants in the third group produced only PMCs with the 36 B. juncea chromosomes, which were paired and segregated normally. The mixoploids (2n = 29—34) from the cross with B. carinata produced the majority of PMCs (2n = 34) with normal chromosome pairing and segregation, but some plants had some PMCs with 1—3 pairs of chromosomes from O. violaceus and other plants had only PMCs with the B. carinata chromosomes. The Brassica homozygous plants and aneuploids with complete or partial chromo-some complements of Brassica parents and various numbers of O. violaceus chromosomes were derived from these progeny plants. The results in this study provided the molecular cytogenetic evidence for the separation of parental genomes which was previously proposed to occur in the hybridizations of these two genera.展开更多

It took nearly 15 months for the fusion_derived calli to develop into embryoids that were only originated in the medium of MT supplemented with 2% glycerol. The shoots were recalcitrant to rooting in the root_induction medium. In vitro grafting was employed to produce whole plants though one self_rooting plant was obtained. Cytological determination of root and shoot tips showed mainly diploid and aneuploid cells, together with few tetraploid cells in some plants. RAPD (random amplified polymorphism DNA) analysis with 10_mer primers demonstrated that bands specific to the fusion parents were detected in the regenerated plants, indicating that interspecific somatic hybrids have been obtained via protoplast asymmetric fusion in Citrus .展开更多
