Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Although triploid (3n) silver crucian carp reproduces by gynogenesis as all-female clonal line, both female and male appear in tetraploiod (4n). 4n females generate unreduced 4n eggs which reproduce by gynogenesis, while 4n males produce reduced 2n sperm. Here, the mechanism responsible for such a different meiotic manner between the two sexes is attempted to disclose and obtained results are as follows:(1) some males produced aneuploid sperm, (2) 3n progeny, 4n progeny, or both 3n and 4n progeny occurred in cross-fertilization between 3n female and diploid goldfish male, (3) Samples analyzed here included unusually high rates of Chinese silver crucian carp. Thus, irregular meiosis and gametogenesis in 4n crucian carp may relate to the genomic consititution of each 4n individual.
