RESUMO

Somaclonal variation was observed in plants regenerated from type I calli established from a maize inbred line Cat100-6. One of the variants, S1587. was self-polinated, giving rise to different progenies. Considering the plant and seeds morphological alterations, one of the progenies, 81587-17. was selected for further studies of seed storage proteins, zeins. IEF analysis of Cat100-6 and S1587-17 showed five polimorfic bands. Two-dimensional analysis of these bands indicated alterations in the zein classes of 19 and 22 kDa. Linkage analysis of altered zein polypeptides was performed by IEF of zein proteins extracted from F2 seeds [F1 (Cat100-6 x S1587-17)_]. Three altered polypeptides were grouped in one cluster, and two other polypeptides in a second cluster. After that, the altered genes were mapped by hibridizing the F2 population DNA with cromosome 4 and 7 RFLP probes. 8ix altered genes were mapped in the short arm of chromosome 4. Eight other somaclones, S1, S2. S3, S4, S5, S6, S7 and S8, were selected based on seeds morphological alterations. The zeins electrophoretic prOfile in 8D8-PAGE showed an enhancement of the 14, 16,22 and 27 kDa zeins in two of the progenies analized, S1 and S7. when compared with the original line, Cat1006. Soufhern b/of analysis using 14 and 22 kDa cDNA as probes differentiated two progenies, S 1 and S7, from the others somaclones. Amino acid analysis of Cat100-6, S1587-17, 81 and S7 reveald increased content of methionine, essential at human and animal nutrition, in the last two som aciones. Northern b/of experiments wer8 carried out with the same probes. Based on the levels of hybridization, it appears that the 14 kDa transcript levei in the S1 and S7 progenies is 2-fold higher than in Cat100-6 and S1587-17.These results indicate that the enhancement in methionine-rich 14 kDa zein is due to an enhancement in the mRNA levei of 14 kDa gene, in the somaclones S1 and S7. Understanding the regulation of this gene may result in novel approaches to increase nutritional value of maize seed
