Abstract
The induction of gynogenetic diploids during meiosis II in the scallop Chlamys farreri was attempted using the treatments of cytochalasin B (0.5
g ml
-1; CB)
and 6-dimethylaminopurine (60
g ml
-1; 6-DMAP). The effects of CB
and 6-DMAP treatments on meiosis and fertilization of eggs were also
examined. Haploid gynogenesis was induced by sperm which were
ultraviolet-irradiated for 30 s at an intensity of 2561
W cm
-2 s
-1.
CB and 6-DMAP treatments were highly effective in suppressing
meiosis II, yielding 19% and 28% gynogenetic diploids, respectively.
Compared with the CB treatment, the 6-DMAP treatment produced more expected
D-shaped larvae. Cytological observations revealed that 6-DMAP inhibited
pronuclear movements and the segregation of chromosomes, resulting in the
formation of one big diploid female pronucleus with strong fluorescence,
while CB inhibited cytokinesis, resulting in two female pronuclei
formations. The UV-irradiated sperm nucleus developed into a male
pronucleus, but did not participate in karyokinesis at mitotic anaphase,
suggesting that gynogenetic diploids were induced in the scallop.
Résumé
L'induction de diploïdes gynogénétiques a été
effectuée durant la seconde division méiotique (méiose II), chez
le pétoncle Chlamys farreri, par traitement à la cytochalasine B (0,5
g ml
-1; CB) et à la 6-diméthylaminopurine (60
g ml
-1;
6-DMAP). Les effets des traitements à la CB et à la 6-DMAP ont aussi
été examinés sur la méiose et la fertilisation des oeufs.
La gynogenèse haploïde est induite par du sperme irradié aux
ultra-violets pendant 30 s, à une intensité de 2561
W cm
-2 s
-1.
Les traitements à la CB et 6-DMAP ont été très
efficaces en supprimant la méiose II, rapportant 19 % et 28 % de
diploïdes gynogénétiques, respectivement. Le traitement à
la 6-DMAP, comparé à celui de CB, produit davantage de larves-D. Des
observations cytologiques révèlent que la 6-DMAP inhibe les
mouvements nucléaires et la ségrégation des chromosomes, ayant
pour résultat la formation d'un seul pronucléus femelle
diploïde avec une forte fluorescence, tandis que la CB inhibe la
cytocinétique, ayant pour résultat la formation de 2 pronucléus
femelles. Le noyau des spermatozoïdes irradiés aux UV se
développe dans un pronucléus mâle, mais n'a pas participé
à l'anaphase mitotique de la caryogenèse, ce qui laisse penser que
des diploïdes gynogénétiques sont induits chez ces
pétoncles.
