Chapter 1quite divergent with various <strong>chromosome</strong> rearrangements. These structure variation can causeabnormal segregation and/or <strong>chromosome</strong> bridges dur<strong>in</strong>g meiosis. Gametes from thosemeiotic divisions possess duplication/deletion and are generally sterile.Anaphase I bridg<strong>in</strong>g has been well documented <strong>in</strong> a few <strong>in</strong>terspecific hybrids. Togetherwith univalents and multivalents, the presence <strong>of</strong> anaphase bridges is a relatively normalphenomenon <strong>in</strong> hybrids, like Vigna umbellate × V. m<strong>in</strong>ima (Gop<strong>in</strong>athan and Babu 1986),P<strong>in</strong>us hybrids (Saylor and Smith 1966), Chorthippus hybrids (Lewis and John 1963), Alliumhybrids (McCollum 1974), Nicotiana tabacum × N. glauca (Trojak-Goluch and Berbec 2003),Phaseolus vulgaris × P. cocc<strong>in</strong>eus (Cheng et al. 1981), Elymus farctus × E. repens (Heneen1963), Guizotia hybrids (Dagne 1994) and so on. The production <strong>of</strong> bridges dur<strong>in</strong>g meiosishad once exclusively expla<strong>in</strong>ed as the presence <strong>of</strong> <strong>chromosome</strong> rearrangements like <strong>in</strong>version(McCl<strong>in</strong>tock 1931). Later on, another cause-U-type exchanges, became an alternativeexplanation for the production <strong>of</strong> bridges (Couz<strong>in</strong> and Fox 1973; Haga 1953; Jones andBrumpton 1971; Jones 1969; Karp and Jones 1983; Lewis and John 1963; Newman 1967;Rees and Thompson 1955). Accord<strong>in</strong>g to the meiotic configuration, these two causes can bedist<strong>in</strong>guished. Moreover, <strong>molecular</strong> biology has revealed that two different mechanisms arema<strong>in</strong>ly <strong>in</strong>volved <strong>in</strong> the repair <strong>of</strong> double strand breaks (DSBs) <strong>in</strong> mitosis-homologousrecomb<strong>in</strong>ation (HR) and nonhomologous end jo<strong>in</strong><strong>in</strong>g (NHEJ). Crossovers have beenexpla<strong>in</strong>ed as a process <strong>of</strong> DSBs and the repair with HR (Puchta 2005; Schwacha and Kleckner1995; Szostak et al. 1983), whereas the relationship between U-type exchanges and NHEJ isnot clear yet.Scope and aim <strong>of</strong> the thesisIn this research, an attempt will be made to <strong>in</strong>vestigate the follow<strong>in</strong>g four topics:1. to analyze the genome composition <strong>of</strong> mitotic and meiotic polyploidized neopolyploids<strong>of</strong> lily hybrids, and detect, if any, <strong>in</strong>tergenomic <strong>chromosome</strong> rearrangements as a result <strong>of</strong> theso-called genomic shock.2. to elucidate the meiosis process, especially the cross<strong>in</strong>g-over events happened atanaphase I <strong>of</strong> <strong>in</strong>terspecific hybrids <strong>of</strong> LA lilies and the gamete formation.3. to detect the abnormalities <strong>of</strong> meiosis, <strong>in</strong>clud<strong>in</strong>g the failure <strong>of</strong> <strong>chromosome</strong> pair<strong>in</strong>g,abnormal association and segregation, and any other <strong>chromosome</strong> rearrangements dur<strong>in</strong>gmeiosis <strong>of</strong> the <strong>in</strong>terspecific hybrids <strong>of</strong> LA lilies.4. to trace the orig<strong>in</strong>s and <strong>behavior</strong> <strong>of</strong> the aberrant small <strong>chromosome</strong>s occurr<strong>in</strong>g <strong>in</strong> thebackcross<strong>in</strong>g progenies,.With those above mentioned purposes, <strong>in</strong>terspecific hybrids were made and distantlyrelated hybrids between Longiflorum and Asiatic cultivars became available. Then the12
General Introductionprocess <strong>of</strong> meiosis such as chiasmata formation and cross<strong>in</strong>g over were critically analyzedus<strong>in</strong>g GISH and FISH. Some genotypes, which showed a low fertility (others highly sterile),were backcrossed with their Asiatic parent, and the triploid progeny derived from sexualpolyploidization were evaluated for their <strong>in</strong>tergenomic recomb<strong>in</strong>ation. The thesis is structuredas follow:Chapter 2 provides a comparison <strong>of</strong> <strong>in</strong>tergenomic recomb<strong>in</strong>ation <strong>in</strong> different populations(meiotic and mitotic polyploidized progenies), and traces the orig<strong>in</strong> <strong>of</strong> these recomb<strong>in</strong>ation byscor<strong>in</strong>g the frequency <strong>of</strong> reciprocal and nonreciprocal products and analyz<strong>in</strong>g the process <strong>of</strong>meiosis <strong>in</strong> the <strong>in</strong>terspecific hybrids <strong>of</strong> LA lilies.Chapter 3 presents the GISH-<strong>analysis</strong> <strong>of</strong> association and cross<strong>in</strong>g over events <strong>in</strong><strong>in</strong>terspecific LA-hybrids, and the statistics <strong>of</strong> different types <strong>of</strong> cross<strong>in</strong>g over.In chapter 4, structural variation was characterized accord<strong>in</strong>g to the bridge production and<strong>chromosome</strong> breakage dur<strong>in</strong>g meiosis, and the bridges was expla<strong>in</strong>ed as the occurrence <strong>of</strong> U-type exchanges.Chapter 5 reports the observation <strong>of</strong> two types <strong>of</strong> aberrant small <strong>chromosome</strong>s (de novoand exist<strong>in</strong>g), and characterized them us<strong>in</strong>g GISH and FISH with different probes.In chapter 6 the general discussion the occurrence <strong>of</strong> <strong>chromosome</strong> rearrangements as wellas polyploidization and their significance <strong>in</strong> genetic mapp<strong>in</strong>g <strong>of</strong> <strong>Lilium</strong> are discussed and thepotential utilization <strong>of</strong> different <strong>chromosome</strong> rearrangements were prospected.13
