However, less attention has been paid to autopolyploidy than to allopolyploidy,and its evolutionary consequences are largely unclear, especially for plants with high ploidy levels. In this study, we developed oligonucleotide(oligo)-based chromosome painting probes to identify individual chromosomes in S. spontaneum. Using fluorescence in situ hybridization(FISH), we investigated chromosome behavior during pachytene, metaphase, anaphase, and telophase of meiosis I(MI) in autotetraploid,autooctoploid, and autodecaploid S. spontaneum clones. All autopolyploid clones showed stable diploidized chromosome behavior;so that homologous chromosomes formed almost exclusively bivalents during MI. Two copies of homologous chromosome 8 with similar sizes in the autotetraploid clone showed preferential pairing with each other with respect to the other copies. However, sequence variation analysis showed no apparent differences among homologs of chromosome 8 and all other chromosomes. We suggest that either the stable diploidized pairing or the preferential pairing between homologous copies of chromosome 8 in the studied autopolyploid sugarcane are accounted for by unknown mechanisms other than DNA sequence similarity. Our results reveal evolutionary consequences of stable meiotic behavior in autopolyploid plants.展开更多

According to the results, concentrated sulfttric acid hydrolysis was the first step, with the liquid-solid ratio of 42： 1, sulfuric acid concentration of 70%, hydrolysis time of 20 rain, and hydrolysis temperature of 55 ℃ ; dilute sulphuric acid hydrolysis was the second step, with the liquidsolid ratio of 115： 1, sulfuric acid concentration of 5.5%, hydrolysis time of 155 min, and hydrolysis temperature of 100℃. In two-step acid hydrolysis process, the yield of reducing sugar was 48.78%. The results indicated that two-step acid-hydrolysis saccharification required mild conditions, simple operation and low cost, and led to high reducing sugar yield, exhibiting a broad application prospect.展开更多

Among them, the crude protein, crude fat, neutral detergent fiber, acid detergent fiber, P and Ca contents were treated as the judging indicators. The nutritional value evaluation was carried out with the analytic hierarchy process(AHP). The results showed A49(Guangxi)had the highest nutritional value. Its dry matter, crude protein, crude fat, crude ash,neutral detergent fiber, acid detergent fiber, Ca and P contents were 32.35%,7.20%, 4.06%, 8.07%, 75.81%, 50.72%, 0.23% and 0.16% respectively. While A3(Guangdong) had the lowest nutritional value. Its dry matter, crude protein, crude fat, crude ash, neutral detergent fiber, acid detergent fiber, Ca and P contents were32.24%, 4.62%, 0.51%, 6.38%, 46.40%, 40.02%, 0.15% and 0.09% respectively.The crude protein content differed significantly among different germplasms. A48 had the highest crude protein content(9.11%), and A14 had the lowest crude protein content(3.72%). Based on the evaluation results, the 43 Saccharum spontaneum L.germplasms were divided into 3 groups: high-nutritional value type, moderate-nutritional value type and low-nutritional value type. We hoped to provide a theoretical reference for the application of Saccharum spontaneum L. as a forage grass.展开更多
