Abstract:

The ploidy identification of potato chromosomes is an important part in the evaluation of potato germplasm resources. Flow cytometry can quickly and accurately determine the nuclear DNA content of cells,which is widely used to identify plant’s chromosome ploidy. A high-throughput flow cytometry system that is suitable for potato ploidy identification is established for providing evidences for potato breeding. Twenty pieces of potato cooperative 88,progeny of an induced parthenogenesis,were used as materials,a liquid nitrogen grinding method was used to prepare leaf cell nuclear suspension,which was then compared with the leaf cell nuclear suspension by traditional blade shredding method,and chromosome ploidy of the known tetraploid potato cooperative 88 and diploid potato IVP101 was determined. It was found that there was no significant difference between the ploidy identification results by the two methods,but the liquid nitrogen grinding method was simple and less time-consuming. The flow cytometry based on the liquid nitrogen grinding method quickly and accurately identified potato ploidy. In addition,fluorescent staining time(from 15 min to 12 h)of the nucleus suspension prepared by the liquid nitrogen grinding method did not affect the ploidy determination results,which is convenient for researchers to flexibly choose the staining time in actual operation.
