Resumen:
To investigate the molecular bases of post-zygotic hybridization barriers in tuber-bearing Solanums, two wild potato species, Solanum commersonii and S. acaule were crossed in intra- and interspecific genotypic combinations, and the transcriptome of inmature seeds were analyzed by using the cDNA-AFLP technique. From a total of 423 analyzed cDNA fragments, 107 were differentially regulated between the intra and interspecific combinations. Twenty one fragments were sequenced and five of the cDNA-AFLP differential patterns were validated using RT-PCR analysis. One of the selected fragments was used as probe for in situ interspecific genotypic combinations, and the transcriptome of inmature seeds were analyzed by using the cDNA-AFLP technique. From a total of 423 analyzed cDNA fragments, 107 were differentially regulated between the intra and interspecific combinations. Twenty one fragments were sequenced and five of the cDNA-AFLP differential patterns were validated using RT-PCR analysis. One of the selected fragments was used as probe for in situ and S. acaule were crossed in intra- and interspecific genotypic combinations, and the transcriptome of inmature seeds were analyzed by using the cDNA-AFLP technique. From a total of 423 analyzed cDNA fragments, 107 were differentially regulated between the intra and interspecific combinations. Twenty one fragments were sequenced and five of the cDNA-AFLP differential patterns were validated using RT-PCR analysis. One of the selected fragments was used as probe for in situin situ hybridization experiments. Finally, the amount of DNA in endosperm nuclei of seeds was estimated based on the intensity of the Hoechst staining in relation to the ploidy of the endosperm, using ImageJ. Sequence analysis suggested a role for the differentially expressed sequences in the vesicle transport, cytokinesis, cell cycle and others. In-situ hybridization experiments with a fragment encoding a vesicle transport protein revealed expression of this gene in embryo and endosperm. The amount of DNA was 1.5 times greater in interspecific cross compared to intraspecific cross. The results suggest and support the fact that the collapse of the embryo and endosperm in interespecific crosses may be related to the alteration in the vesicle transport machinery and cytokinesis.
