RAPD analysis on the variation and mutant types induced by space special environment in maize(zea mays L.)

Zeng, M.

In our previous papers, we have observed and obtained some variation and mutant types of qualitative and quantitative traits induced by space special environment. For example, kernel types mutant, multi-ear mutant, ear length mutant, leaf-blade mutant, special high plant and dwarf plant mutants, resistance to B. maydis and E. turcicum etc. The experimental results have been reported[Chinese Space Sci. Technol. 2003,23(6):64~68;MNL:74,2~3;79,3]

The paper deals with the RAPD analysis primary results to the variation and mutant types induced by space special environment.

The different variations and mutants were used as experimental materials. They were:(1)Mut7 from U8112 and U8112CK; (2)Mut10 from Me141 and Me141CK, (3)Mut1 from Yi01-4 and Yi01-4CK, (4)XH3 from [(XH×TSPT-HZ4 Pop.)×Mut2]F2 Pop. Among them Mut2 from Yi01-4, (5)Mut4 from Zi24 and Zi24 CK. Thirty-six Operon primers were selected, among them 9 primers analysed (Figure 1, Table 1). Marker is DL2000, 2.0Kb, 1.0Kb, 0.75Kb, 0.5Kb, 0.25Kb, 0.1Kb from above to below, respectively.

It can be seen that mutants (Mut7, Mut10, Mut1, Mut4)posses the different amplification products from Operon primers with their CK comparison, respectively, the inbred line XH3 posses also the different amplificalson products. The results show clearly that the changes of DNA Molecular have taken place. The present experiment is an attempt in this aspect.
