摘要:Somatic hybridization was performed via electrofusion between embryogenic suspension-derived protoplasts of transgenic green fluorescent protein (GFP) Satsuma mandarin (Citrus unshiu Marc. cv. Guoqing No. 1) (G1) callus and mesophyll protoplasts of calamondin (Citrus microcarpa Bunge), and three embryoids expressing GFP under UV light were obtained after 60 days of culture. The three embryoids were considered not as diploid cybrids but true allotetraploid somatic hybrids, as it was based on: (1) citrus heterokaryons are generally more vigorous and have higher capacity for embryogenesis as compared with unfused and homo-fused embryogenic callus protoplasts; (2) the callus line of G1 Satsuma mandarin has lost the embryogenesis capacity; and (3) citrus diploid cybrids produced by symmetric fusion always possess nuclear genome of mesophyll parent, and calamondin without GFP gene was used as leaf parent in this study. Subsequent flow cytometry, simple sequence repeat and cleaved amplified polymorphic sequence analysis of one regenerated callus mass and three resulting plants validated this supposition, i.e., the callus was derived from transgenic G1 callus protoplasts, and the three plants were true allotetraploid somatic hybrids possessing nuclear genomic DNA of both parents and cytoplasmic DNA from callus parent. The potential of transgenic GFP citrus callus as suspension parent in citrus somatic fusion to study the mechanism of cybrid formation, create new citrus cybrids, and transfer organelle-encoded agronomic traits was also discussed.
