چکیده

A model is proposed to describe the genetic value of 4x-2x hybrids resulting from crosses between tetraploid genitors and diploid genitors that produce 2n gametes. The model takes into account the genetic consequences of the First Division Restitution (FDR) and Second Division Restitution (SDR) meiosis, particularly on the homozygosity level that 2n gametes contribute to 4x-2x hybrids. As genes can be identical by descent, numerous parameters are needed in the classical approach to describe the inbreeding effects on the mean and variance of 4x-2x hybrids. Using the concept of test value, the model allows a large decrease in the number of required parameters. The model gives the components of genetic variance and usual covariances between relatives using these synthetic parameters. The model is then used to study the efficiency of a recurrent breeding scheme to improve diploid genitors for their combining ability with tetraploid genitors. It appears that, in presence of dominance, ignoring the meiosis pattern will lead to an overestimation of additive variance and then of genetic advance. Some genetic considerations on the differences between FDR and SDR mechanisms lead us to suggest an experimental comparison of their respective advantages and disadvantages for the type of considered recurrent selection. An experimental crossing design is proposed to obtain estimates of the genetic parameters needed for this comparison.

Use of half - tetrad analysis to discriminate betweeIl two types of 2 n egg formation in a potato haploid

r The ratio of the first division restitution (FDR) to second division restitution (SDR) 2n eggs was estimated in 4182t, a haploid (2n = 2x = 24) of Solanum tuberosum L. that produces 2n eggs by the two modes. The segregation of three genes previously mapped relative to their centromeres, Pgm-2 (2.0 cM), Mdh-1 (33.5 cM), and 6-Pgdh-3 (30.1 cM) was analyzed in the tetraploid offspring of a 2x x ...

Genetic positioning of centromeres using half-tetrad analysis in a 4x-2x cross population of potato.

From biological and genetic standpoints, centromeres play an important role in the delivery of the chromosome complement to the daughter cells at cell division. The positions of the centromeres of potato were determined by half-tetrad analysis in a 4x-2x population where the male parent produced 2n pollen by first-division restitution (FDR). The genetic linkage groups and locations of 95 male p...

A chromosome-specific estimate of transmission of heterozygosity by 2n gametes in potato.

Polyploid plants are formed when numerically unreduced (2n) gametes participate in fertilization. Based on cytological and genetic analyses, modes of 2n gamete formation have been determined for a number of plant species. Gametes formed by a first-division restitution (FDR) mechanism contain nonsister chromatids near the centromere, whereas those formed by second-division restitution (SDR) cont...

Half tetrad analysis in alfalfa using multiple restriction fragment length polymorphism markers.

A maximum likelihood approach of half tetrad analysis (HTA) based on multiple restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) markers was developed. This procedure estimates the relative frequencies of 2n gametes produced by mechanisms genetically equivalent to first division restitution (FDR) or second division restitution and simultaneously locates the centromere within a linkage group of RFL...

Chromosome regions between centromeres and proximal crossovers are the physical sites of major effect loci for yield in potato: genetic analysis employing meiotic mutants.

Meiotic mutant (2n) gametes formed by first-division restitution without crossover (FDR-NCO) are expected to be superior to FDR with crossover (FDR-CO) because they transmit to the progeny, without disruption by recombination, almost 100% of the parental genotype. FDR-CO transfers approximately 80% of the parental heterozygosity and a large fraction of the epistatic interactions. Another geneti...
