摘要
植物天然群体中存在大量遗传变异,这些变异是随机突变和自然选择的结果,也是物种赖以生存和进化的原料。此外,不同植物种间乃至属间的天然远缘杂交是经常发生的事件,也是新种形成的重要方式,而远缘杂交为高度分歧的物种之间的基因交流提供了机会,因此也是产生新的遗传变异的重要途径。近年来的大量研究表明,植物天然群体中还存在一类不基于DNA序列差异的变异,被称为表观遗传变异(epigenetic variation)。植物发生远缘杂交以及此后的多倍体化过程可以产生大量的表观遗传变异,其遗传行为不能用经典遗传规律解释。表观遗传变异的另外一个重要来源是环境中的各种生物和非生物胁迫。研究较深入的表观遗传变异主要是编码基因和转座子DNA甲基化水平和模式的改变,但可以推测与之相关的组蛋白修饰和染色质结构也可能发生变化。目前对此类表观遗传变异的分子机理尚缺乏深入研究,但不难想像可能与各类non-coding RNA有关。这些表观遗传变异的后果是基因表达的大规模改变并由此产生新表型。作物远缘杂交育种实践表明,这些不能用经典遗传学理论解释的变异中蕴含许多在育种上有重要价值的变异并可能与杂种优势密切相关,对它们的产生机理和遗传规律的深入解析将有助于其在作物改良中的有效利用。
