    Notes: Abstract With the aim of elucidating the complex genetic system controlling flower morphogenesis in cereals, we have characterized two rice and two sorghum MADS box genes isolated from cDNA libraries made from developing inflorescences. The rice clones OsMADS24 and OsMADS45, which share high homology with the Arabidopsis AGL2 and AGL4 MADS box genes, are expressed in the floral meristem, in all the primordia, and in mature floral organs. High expression levels have also been found in developing kernels. The sorghum clone SbMADS1 is also homologous to AGL2 and AGL4: expression analysis and mapping data suggest that it is the ortholog of OsMADS24. The pattern of expression of SbMADS2, the other sorghum MADS box gene, suggests that it may play a role as a meristem identity gene, as does AP1 in Arabidopsis, to which it shows considerable homology. The four genes have been mapped on a rice RFLP genetic map: the results are discussed in terms of synteny among cereals.

    Notes: Abstract Genetic factors controlling tolerance to the herbicide Alachlor in maize were localised by means of two different strategies. In the first approach, backcross (BC) plants, derived from pollen which had been subjected to selective pressure for resistance to the herbicide, were analysed for segregation distortion at 47 RFLP loci and compared to BC plants obtained from non-selected pollen. Preferential transmission of five chromosomal regions where putative QTLs (Quantitative Trait Loci) are localised was revealed in the BC plants from selected pollen. A second approach was based on a classical linkage analysis for segregation of the same set of RFLPs and factors controlling the trait, in a BC population of 210 individuals, by means of regression analysis. This study detected seven significant loci in four genomic regions. Overall, two loci revealed both segregation distortion and association with the expression of the trait, indicating linkage to genes expressed in both gametophytic and sporophytic phase. Three chromosomal regions appeared to carry factors involved in plant tolerance to Alachlor which are not expressed in pollen. Conversely, three loci were linked to factors selectable in pollen, but did not reveal significant association with tolerance in the plant in the segregating populations.

    Notes: Summary Densely saturated genetic maps of neutral genetic markers are a prerequisite either for plant breeding programs to improve quantitative traits in crops or for evolutionary studies. cDNA and genomic clones from maize were utilized to initiate the construction of a RFLP linkage map in Sorghum bicolor. To this purpose, an F2 population was produced from starting parental lines IS 18729 (USA) and IS 24756 (Nigeria) that were differentiated with regard to many morphological and agronomical traits. A total of 159 maize clones were hybridized to the genomic DNA of the two parents in order to detect polymorphism: 154 probes hybridized to sorghum and 58 out of these were polymorphic. In almost all of the cases hybridization patterns were similar between maize and sorghum. The analysis of the segregation of 35 polymorphic clones in an F2 population of 149 individuals yielded five linkage groups. The three principal ones recall regions of maize chromosomes 1, 3 and 5: in general, colinearity was maintained. A possible inversion, involving a long region of maize chromosome 3, was detected. Simulations were also performed to empirically obtain a value for the lowest number of individuals of the F2 population needed to obtain the same linkage data.

    Notes: Abstract  A total of 13 SSR loci were characterized in Sorghum bicolor. Ten of these loci were isolated by screening sorghum genomic AG-enriched libraries with labelled poly(AG)/poly(CT), the other three were derived from database searches. In order to explore the degree of polymorphism detectable in this species by this type of molecular marker, the SSR markers were tested on nine inbred lines of S. bicolor of different geographic origin. PCR analysis on acrylamide gels revealed a high degree of polymorphism (δT=0.80). One locus, in particular, allowed the identification of all of the nine inbred lines used in our study. Seven of these SSR markers were mapped, using an existing sorghum RFLP map.

    Notes: Summary An indirect approach was adopted to select viable mutants affecting the male gametophytic generation in maize. This approach consists of a selection of endosperm defective mutants followed by a test for gametophytic gene expression, based on the distortion from mendelian segregation and on the measurement of pollen size and pollen sterility. The material used consisted of 34 endosperm defective viable mutants introgressed in B37 genetic background. Complementation tests indicated that the mutation in the collection of mutants affected different genes controlling endosperm development. The study of the segregation in F2 revealed four classes of de (defective endosperm) mutants: (1) mutants in which the mutation does not affect either gametophytic development or function; (2) mutants in which the effect on the gametophyte affects pollen development processes; (3) mutants showing effects on both pollen development and function, and (4) mutants where only pollen tube growth rate is affected. Positive and negative interactions between pollen and style were detected by means of mixed pollination (pollen produced by de/de plants and pollen from an inbred line used as a standard and carrying genes for colored aleurone), on de/de and de/ + plants. Positive interactions were interpreted as methabolic complementation between defective pollen and normal styles.

    Notes: Abstract  Several pollen-specific genes from different species have been isolated and characterized at the molecular level, but the precise role of most of them is unknown. Mutant analysis represents a direct approach to uncovering gene function, but the paucity of available mutants affecting pollen development and/or function and the poor characterization of the known mutants have so far limited the exploitation of this approach. Here we present the cytological characterization of gametophytic male sterile-1 (gaMS-1), a maize mutant that we identified in a program of transposon insertion mutagenesis for the production of mutations in gametophytically acting genes involved in microsporogenesis. gaMS-1 is expressed during or immediately after the first microspore division and leads to the production of immature, non-functional pollen grains. The mutation appears to affect the events leading to the developmental switch that follows the first microspore mitosis.

    Notes: Abstract Maize glutathione S-transferase (GST) isozymes are encoded by a gene family comprising at least five genes, three of which (Gst I, II andIII) have recently been isolated and sequenced. The enzymes are active as homo or heterodimers and exhibit intraspecific polymorphism including a “null” variant for the two major isoforms expressed in roots. Northern blot analyses performed on total root RNA from “null” and “plus” genotypes, usingGst I- andGst II-specific probes, indicated that theGst I gene controls the expression of the two major GST isoforms expressed in roots.Gst I andGst II were mapped by RFLP analysis using an F2 population of 149 individuals previously characterized.Gst I was localized on the long arm of chromosome 8, while two putativeGst II loci were mapped to chromosomes 8 (70 cM fromGst I) and 10, respectively.
