Genetic analysis in carp (Cyprinus carpio) using gynogenesis

Abstract

SUMMARYThe present paper reports the utilisation of gynogenesis irs genetic analysis and chromosome mapping in carp. A new colour mutant was analysed with the help of gynogenetic haploid, diploid and biparental F1 and F2 populations. The mutant character was controlled by two genes, P and R, and only fish with double recessive alleles pprr showed the mutant coloration. The genekinetochore (G-K) distances of the genes were established. G-K distances were measured for two other genes-transferrin and scaliness.

Chromosome set manipulation and sex control in common carp: a review

The main data on meiotic gynogenesis in common carp are summarized below.…”

Gynogenetic diploid production in the red sea bream using UV-irradiated sperm of black sea bream and heat shock.

“…One of the genetic techniques which may assist in the improvement of fish breeding is gynogenesis (all maternal inheritance). 1,2) Gynogenesis has numerous potential applications, such as the production of inbred lines, all female populations and gene mapping. 3,4) Gynogenesis is usually induced in fish by fertilizing eggs with sperm which has been irradiated with UV-ray.3) To confirm that paternal genes are not transmitted, it is essential in induced gynogenesis to use foreign sperm in which female and male species have distinguishable alleles at one or more loci and the presence of any male contribution can be detected by electrophoresis.3)…”

Induction of heterozygous and homozygous diploid gynogenesis in Betta splendens (Regan) using hydrostatic pressure

“…Gynogenetic offspring of B. splendens were all females, confirming the female homogametic mechanism of sex determination in this species (Kaiser & Schmidt 1951). Many investigators have obtained all-female offspring by gynogenesis (Stanley 1976;Nagy et at. 1978;Chourrout 1986).…”

“…For fighting fish no information is available on induction of meiotic or mitotic gynogenesis. However, the technique has been applied successfully in food fishes such as Cyprinus carpio L. (Nagy, Rajki, Bakos & Csanyi 1978), Ctenopharyngodon idella (Valenciennes) (Stanley 1976), Oncorhynchus mykiss (Walbaum) (Purdom, Thompson & Lou 1985), Oreochromis niloticus (L.) (Mair, Scott, Beardmore & Skibinski 1986;Hussain, Penman, McAndrew & Johnstone 1992) and O. mossambicus Peters (Pandian & Varadaraj 1990a).…”
