Inheritance of restriction fragment length polymorphisms in Agaricus brunnescens.

چکیده
The cultivated mushroom, Agaricus brunnescens, is secondarily homothallic; most basidia produce only two basidiospores, each of which receives two of the four post meiotic nuclei. The segregation of restriction fragment length polymorphisms (RFLPs) detected by four plasmid probes carrying single-copy nuclear DNA of Agaricus was followed in seven parental strains including commercial, wild-collected, and artificially synthesized heterokaryons. Of a total of 367 single-spore progeny examined, 351 (95.6%) were heteroallelic at all RFLP loci heteroallelic in the respective parents. Of the 16 segregant isolates, ten (2.7% of the total) were homoallelic at all segregating loci assayed, suggesting that these isolates were most probably derived from rare spores that had received only a single postmeiotic nucleus. Some of these ten isolates had recombinant genotypes. Only five isolates (1.4% of the total) showed homoallelism at one of the loci heteroallelic in the parent, while remaining heteroallelic at other loci. These five genotypes suggest that a crossover had occurred between a marker locus and its respective centromere. Taken together, the results suggest that meiosis in A. brunnescens is accompanied by low levels of recombination and that nonsister nuclei are preferentially incorporated into basidiospores after meiosis II.

Crosses among Homokaryons from Commercial and Wild-Collected Strains of the Mushroom Agaricus brunnescens (= A. bisporus).
A new technique for the production of hybrid strains of the cultivated mushroom Agaricus brunnescens is described. Homokaryons were recovered from regenerated protoplasts obtained from several heterokaryotic strains. A total of 16 novel hybrids were produced in 63 attempted crosses between paired homokaryons. Recovery of both homokaryons and hybrids was verified by analysis of restriction fragm...
متن کاملNuclear migration and mitochondrial inheritance in the mushroom agaricus bitorquis.
Mitochondrial (mt) DNA restriction fragment length polymorphisms (RFLPs) were used as genetic markers for following mitochondrial inheritance in the mushroom Agaricus bitorquis. In many basidiomycetes, bilateral nuclear migration between paired homokaryotic mycelia gives rise to two discrete dikaryons which have identical nuclei but different cytoplasms. Although nuclear migration is rare in A....
متن کاملThe Frequencies of three Factor IX-Linked Restriction Fragment Length Polymorphisms in Iranian Patients with Hemophilia B
Background: Hemophilia B is an X-linked recessive coagulation disorder caused by factor IX deficiency. Analysis of factor IX gene polymorphisms is considered the best approach for prenatal diagnosis and carrier detection of hemophilia B where the identification of gene mutation is not easily possible. Objective: To study the frequency of three factor IX-linked restriction fragment length polym...
متن کاملGenetic Variability in Growth Hormone Gene and Association between Restriction Fragment Length Polymorphisms (RFLP) Patterns and Quantitative Variation of Live Weight, Carcass, Behaviour, Heterophil and Lymphocyte Traits in Japanese Quails
Growth hormone gene plays a critical role in regulating growth and metabolism which leads to potential correlations between the polymorphisms of this gene and economic trait. A 776 bp fragment within the intron 1 region of the growth hormone gene from 346 individuals of an F2 population of Japanese quail was amplified. The polymerase chain reaction (PCR) product was digested using MspI restrict...
