  1. Chap 2. Biology of Propagation General Terminology a. Genotype:the genetic make-up of an organism b. Phenotype: the external appearance of an organism (usually the outcome of interaction between a genotype and environment) c. Ploidy:Variation in the genomic number (x) of chromosomes x = n= 2n = “wholeness” n = “halfness”

  2. Variation in Euploidy(for Organisms with x=12) Ploidy No. Chromosomes Somatic Gametic ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Diploid 2x=24 2n=24 n=12=x Tetraploid 4x=48 2n=48 n=24=2x Hexaploid 6x=72 2n=72 n=36=3x Octoploid 8x=96 2n=96 n=48=4x ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Haploid 1x=12 2n=12 n= 6 (?) Triploid 3x=36 2n=36 n=18 (?) Pentaploid 5x=60 2n=60 n=30 (?) ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Seedless watermelons are triploids

  3. Reproductive Biology • Cell Division • Somatic cell division (Mitosis) • Reproductive cell division (Meiosis) • Flowering and Anthesis • Megagametogenesis (EMC to Egg Cells) • Microgametogenesis (PMC to Pollen Grains) • Pollination and Fertilization • Pollen germination on stigma • Pollen tube growth through style tissue • Double fertilization

  4. Mitosis • - Somatic Cell Division • Ends up with same number of chromosomes in divided cells • Divided cells are genetically identical to maternal cells 2N →2N + 2N

  5. Meiosis • Reproductive cell division • Undergoes 2 separate divisions • Forms gametes • Divided cells have a half of the chromosome numbers • Ends up with genetic re- assortment by chromosomal translocation (cross-over) 2N → →N + N + N + N

  6. An Example of Meiosis

  7. Fertility in Polyploid (Euploidy)Plants

  8. Polyploidization • Use of Cholchicine to induce polyploids • Colchicine interferes with spindle fiber function during metaphase of meiosis

  9. Production of Seedless Watermelon www.parkseed.com

  10. Example of Ploidy Variation

  11. Polyploidy Terminology (continued) • Euploidy Variation between chromosome sets • Aneuploidy Variation within a chromosome set • Autoploidy Multiplication of the complete set of genomes of a species • Alloploidy Polyploid containing genetically different sets of chromosomes derived from 2 or more species

  12. AneuploidyVariation within a chromosome set A diploid plant ( ) would contain the following chromosome numbers depending on aneuploidy conditions:

  13. Pollen Tetrad and Microgametophyte - One tube nucleus    - Two sperm nuclei

  14. Megagametophyte

  15. Pollination and Fertilization, Angiosperms

  16. Double Fertilization A process of fertilization in which one male gamete (sperm nucleus, n) unites the egg nucleus (n) to form embryo (zygote, 2n) and the other sperm nucleus (n) unites polar nuclei (2n) to form endosperm (3n)

  17. General Terminology (continued) Homozygous- b. Heterozygous- Having unlike alleles at one or more corresponding loci on homologous c. Meiosis- - Chromosome number is reduced to one half - Results in formation of gametes - Allows genetic recombination d. Mitosis- - Chromosome number same in daughter cells - Results in somatic tissues genetically identical - Allows clonal duplication

  18. Fruit Flesh Color and Skin Texture Inheritance - Peach

  19. Inheritance of Flower Color and Color PatternSalpiglossis sinuata RR or Rr Red flower color rr Yellow flower color DD or Dd Solid color pattern dd Dilute color pattern

  20. Gene Symbols RR DD or R_R_ (red, solid) RR dd or R_ dd (red, dilute) rr DD or rrD_ (yellow, solid) rr dd (yellow, dilute)

  21. P1 P2 x Dilute Red (RRdd) Solid yellow (rrDD) F1 Solid Red (RrDd) F2 Solid red (R-D-) 9 Dilute red (R-dd) 3 Solid yellow (rrD-) 3 Dilute yellow (rrdd) 1

  22. 2. Nomenclature Based onICBN (International Code of Botanical Nomenclature) a.Botanical Classification Family-Genus-Species-Variety-Form-Individual - Subspecies - Clines- - Ecotypes- b.Cultivated Plants Genus, species, cultivar Cultivar = Cultivated variety (cv.) Cultigen = Cultivated variety that has been naturalized Examples:

  23. 3. Kinds of Cultivars a.Line- Self pollinated seed-propagated cultivar (homozygous) - Inbred lines - Synthetic lines (composite lines) b.Hybrids(sexual) F-1 hybrid- first generation progeny from a cross between 2 inbred lines (single cross) c.F-2 Cultivars(sexual) Cultivars made up of self-pollination of an F-1

  24. 3. Kinds of Cultivars (continued) d.Open Pollinated Cultivar - Cultivar made up of seeds formed by open pollination - Can be mixtures of hybrids, selfs) - Inbred lines - Synthetic lines (composite lines) e.ClonalCultivars Clone- Asexual propagation- cuttings, tubers, bulbs, grafts, rhizomes, cormels, stolon f.ApomicticSeeds Seed formed from maternal (ovule) tissues

  25. 4. Requirements for New Cultivar a.Distinctive- b. Uniform- Homogeneous (but, can be heterozygous as in F1) Homozygous (no segregation) c. Stable- d. Commercial-
