西方蜜蜂王浆产量与品质性状的配合力和杂种优势分析

对蜜蜂杂种F18个组合及其6个亲本的王浆产量和品质性状（台浆量、接受率、王浆产量、酸度）进行了配合力秘杂种优势分析。结果表明：⑴4个性状一般配合力达极显著水平、特殊配合力达显著水平,说明基因加性效应和非加性效应均起作用,但以加性效应为主。⑵乌克兰蜂一般配合力效应高;喀尔巴阡蜂、高加索蜂特殊配合力方差大,均是比较理想的亲本类型;浙农大1号意蜂在台浆量、接受率和王浆产量上一般配合力效应高,是个优良亲本;而卡尼鄂拉蜂只在提高王浆品质时可以利用。⑶4个性状高亲平均优势均为负值,因此利用杂种优质提高王浆产量和品质比较困难,但通过亲本的适当选配,可在维持高产的同时,提高王浆的品质。     

对生玉米产量性状的杂种优势和配合力分析

本文利用对生基因转育获得的对生与互生自交系及其杂交组合,研究了对生性状对产量性状杂种优势和配合力的遗传效应的影响。结果表明:对生玉米同互生玉米一样具有普遍的杂种优势,在产量性状上F1对生株优势互×互组合大于对×对组合和对×互(互×对)组合;对生性状的转育对产量性状的一般配合力有降低效应,而含有对生基因的互生玉米具有较高的一般配合力效应,因此,在对生玉米育种中可以利用含有不同对生基因的互生自交系作亲本来组配杂交组合(互×互),从而获得较高的制种产量和高产的对生杂交种。

陆地棉低酚棉种子品质性状的遗传及其杂种优势利用的研究

通过配制4个隐性无腺体品系（gl2gl2gl3gl3)作母本与5个显性无腺体品系（GL2^eGl2^3eGl3Gl3)杂交产生的20个组合的F2、F3,利用二倍体种子遗传模型,研究了棉花种子的含油量、蛋白质含量、油分指数、蛋白质指数等5个种子性状的遗传变异。结果表明所有研究的性状主要由加性遗传效应所控制,其中含油量主要由母体加性遗传效应所控。按群体平均数计算。这些性状F2的中亲优势仅为－1．99％－1．11％,这揭示出F2、F3近交衰退很少。有75％的F2和60％的F3天然授粉异交组合棉酚含量低于0．4g/kg,因此有可能筛选出棉酚含量低于规定标准、而种子品质不降低、可综合利用的F2高产杂交种。     

苜蓿SSR遗传距离与杂种优势的相关性分析

利用SSR标记技术对40份苜蓿材料（6个雄性不育株系和34个苜蓿品种）的遗传距离进行分析,并利用其中的6个不育株系与14个苜蓿品种测交,进一步对遗传距离(GD)、产量配合力与杂种优势效应进行相关性分析。结果表明,25对SSR引物共扩增出189条谱带,其中多态性条带136条,平均多态性位点百分率为69.23%;40份苜蓿材料的遗传距离为0.1818～0.9091,平均0.4544;各亲本一般配合力及GD均与杂种优势效应存在显著正相关,其中亲本一般配合力与杂种优势的相关性要高于GD.因此,仅以SSR遗传距离还不足以准确的组配强优势组合,需结合各性状配合力的分析,以充分发挥杂种优势效应。

利用RIL群体进行小麦品质性状及其与产量性状的相关分析

利用小麦重组自交系(RIL)群体,对小麦主要品质性状、及其与产量的关系进行了分析。结果表明,RIL群体品质、产量性状都表现了较大的变异幅度;蛋白质各性状内、淀粉各性状内相关性多数显著,但二者之间相关性多不显著,这说明在小麦品种改良中,优良的蛋白质性状和优良的淀粉性状可以兼得;稳定时间、沉降值等重要的加工品质性状和淀粉性状与产量相关不显著,说明加工品质可以与产量很好地协调起来;适当降低千粒重,增加穗数,有利于强筋的形成和粘度的提高;矮杆、半矮杆性状能够与良好的加工品质、高蛋白质含量、高GMP含量协调起来。     

Plant regeneration from shoot apex explants of foxtail millet

Green and etiolated shoot apices of foxtail millet (Setaria italica L.) cv. Nese 2A were cultured on Murashige and Skoog medium with four concentrations of 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid or 2,4,5-trichlorophenoxyacetic acid. In all treatments, embryogenic calli capable of plant regeneration were induced after ten weeks in culture. Calli induced on 2 mg l^-1 of 2,4-d from green apices gave a higher rate of plant regeneration in comparison with etiolated apices on the other treatments. Plant regeneration was obtained from one year-old cultures. Regenerated plants were successfully established in soil, reached maturity and produced seeds.Abbreviations 2,4-d 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid - EC embryogenic calli - NE nonembryogenic calli - 2,4,5-T 2,4,5-trichlorophenoxyacetic acid     

Geographical distribution and genetic analysis of phenol color reaction in foxtail millet,Setaria italica (L.) P. Beauv.

Summary Phenol color reaction was examined in a total of 376 strains of foxtail millet, Setaria italica (L.) P. Beauv., collected from different areas throughout Eurasia. Positive and negative phenotypes, and no intermediate type could be recognized by the phenol color reaction. Of 376 strains examined, 50 were positive, 319 were negative, five were mixtures of both phenotypes, and the coloration in two strains with blackish lemmata and paleae could not be distinguished. The strains that showed the positive phenotype of phenol color reaction were found in rather limited regions, while those with the negative phenotype occurred in almost all the regions. The positive phenotype occurred more frequently in the lower latitudinal regions of Asia. Genetic analysis of the F₁ and F₂ generations between the two phenotypes showed that the phenol color reaction is controlled by a single gene, and that the positive phenotype is dominant.Contribution No. 28 from the Plant Germ-plasm Institute, Faculty of Agriculture, Kyoto University, Kyoto (Japan)     

谷子的亲缘识别能力及其与种植密度和土壤养分水平的关系

为探明作物是否具有识别邻株身份的能力以及这种能力是否受到环境因子的调控,通过大田试验,研究邻株身份(亲缘株、非亲缘株和陌生株)、种植密度和土壤养分水平的交互效应对谷子(Setaria italica)地上部分生物量分配的影响。结果表明,谷子与亲缘株为邻时的净繁殖生物量分配和种子生物量分配,比与非亲缘株为邻时显著提高,且营养生物量分配显著降低(P<0.05)。在高种植密度条件下,亲缘组谷子的穗长、净繁殖生物量分配和种子生物量分配显著大于非亲缘组,而营养生物量分配显著小于非亲缘组(P<0.05)。随着土壤养分水平提高,亲缘组谷子的种子生物量分配显著增加,营养生物量分配显著减少(P<0.05)。由此推断,谷子具有对亲缘邻株的识别能力,且这种能力受种植密度和土壤养分水平的调控,在高种植密度和高土壤养分水平条件下,谷子的亲缘邻株识别能力较强。     

Response ofSetaria italica to inoculation withAzospirillum brasilense as compared toAzotobacter chroococcum

Summary Under controlled conditions in pots filled with sand, vermiculite and field soil, inoculation withA. brasilense-Cd ATCC 29729 or withAzotobacter chroococcum caused increases above controls in the weight and N content of panicles ofSetaria italica. In no case, however, did N increases in test plants exceed the initial total N content. High acetylene reduction activities (1,000–2,000 nmole/h/pot) could be found only in plants inoculated withAzospirillum. Inoculation withAzospirillum (strain-Cd) in the field caused a significant increase above noninoculated controls of 18.5% in shoot dry weight, ofSetaria italica. Azotobacter caused a non significant increase of 8%. No significant differences were found between yields ofSetaria italica grown in soil inoculated withA. chroococcum, and those of plants grown in the presence ofA. vinelandii. A. brasilense-Cd was more effective in the field thanA. brasilense Sp-7 ATCC 29145. The results suggest that Azospirillum may increase yields ofS. italica more efficiently than Azotobacter under local field conditions.     

谷子对干旱胁迫的生理生态响应

干旱少雨严重限制了我国西北地区谷子的产量,为明确谷子响应干旱的生理特征,以干旱敏感谷子品种安04和不敏感品种豫谷1号以及xiaomi为材料,通过盆栽试验,研究了谷子不同生育期叶片光合参数、叶绿素含量、非结构性碳、β-淀粉酶基因表达对水分亏缺的响应。结果表明,正常水分条件下安04产量高于豫谷1号,干旱胁迫严重限制了两个谷子品种的产量形成,安04和豫谷1号分别减产71.2%和56.0%,豫谷1号产量显著高于安04。正常水分条件下,安04具有比豫谷1号更高的净光合速率（P<0.05）,干旱胁迫下,豫谷1号叶片净光合速率显著高于安04;叶片蒸腾速率结果同光合结果一致。干旱条件下,豫谷1号具有更高的叶片相对含水量。干旱胁迫显著降低了两个谷子品种花期的叶绿素a、叶绿素b及总叶绿素含量,且安04降低幅度均大于豫谷1号。干旱胁迫均显著增加了豫谷1号拔节期和开花期的叶片可溶性糖含量,而安04叶片可溶性糖含量并没有发生显著性变化,同时干旱胁迫显著增加了豫谷1号β-淀粉酶基因SiBAM1的表达水平。施用β-淀粉酶活性抑制剂α-环糊精,xiaomi叶片可溶性糖及脯氨酸含量显著降低,进一步加重了干旱对xiaomi的生长抑制。综上所述,干旱胁迫诱导谷子β-淀粉酶基因表达和β-淀粉酶活性升高从而水解淀粉形成可溶性糖,高可溶性糖含量对谷子提高抗旱性起重要作用。     

Fixed effect genetic analysis of a diallel cross in dry beans (Phaseolus vulgaris L.)

Summary A full diallel cross among four diverse homozygous strains of dry edible beans (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) was evaluated for yield, protein content, and culinary quality traits in the F₂ and F₃ generations in two locations. Interpretation of diallel effects [Method 1 Model I] using a fixed-effect genetic model made it possible to combine data from two generations into a single analysis and quantify the relative contributions of additive and dominance genetic effects to general (GCA) and specific (SCA) combining abilities. GCA was found to arise from three potential sources: additive effects, dominance interactions at homozygous loci, and average dominance interactions in hybrids involving the parent in question. SCA was found to be a function solely of dominance. Additive effects were the primary determinant of GCA and were highly significant. Specific dominance interactions were significant for seed yield, cooked bean moisture content, and texture but not for protein content. Texture was the only trait for which the additive-dominance model failed to provide an adequate fit to the data, suggesting that texture is significantly affected by epistatic interaction. One cross (Brazil-2 × Sanilac) was identified that exhibited a large heterotic effect for seed yield although the parents' additive effects were nonsignificant. Such a nicking effect was attributed to complementation between the two parents.Cooperative investigations of the Agricultural Research Service, U.S. Department of Agriculture and Michigan State University, East Lansing, MI 48824.

Diamine oxidase from millet catalyzes the oxidation of 1, 3-diaminopropane

Diamine oxidase was purified sixty-fold from millet shoots. The partially purified enzyme of 150 kDa oxidized 1, 3-diaminopropane (1, 3-DAP) to 3-aminopropionaldehyde. The K_m values were 9.1×10⁻⁵M for 1, 3-DAP and 6.3×10⁻⁴M for putrescine. Extracts of shoots of prosomillet, maize and barley also contained an activity that oxidized 1, 3-DAP.     

Combining-ability for cacao (Theobroma cacao L.) yield components under southern Bahia conditions

The objective of this study was to assess five cacao cultivars (selfs) and 20 hybrids with regard to their general-and specific-combining ability for yield components using method 1, model I, of the diallel analysis system. The selfings and the hybrids were obtained through controlled crossings, tested in the field in a random block design with four replications and plots containing 16 plants. The experiment was set up in the Centro de Pesquisas do Cacau, in Itabuna, Bahia, Brasil, in 1975. The characteristics studied were: the number of healthy and collected fruits per plant (NHFP and NCFP), the weight of humid seeds per plant and per fruit (WHSP and WHSF), and the percentage of diseased fruits per plant (PDFP), for 5 years (1986–1990). The F-test values, highly significant for general combining ability (GCA) and specific combining ability (SCA), demonstrated the existence of variability for both effects. However, the effects of SCA were greater than those of GCA, when compared in terms of the average squared effects. This condition held for the characteristics NHFP, NCFP and WHSP, which shows the relative importance of the non-additive genetic effects over the additive effects. The reciprocal effects did not show significance. Breeding methods which explore the additive portion of genetic variance should be employed for obtaining higher-yielding cacao and high seed weight. For this, the segregant populations should involve cultivars CEPEC 1, SIAL 169 and ICS 1. Combinations involving the cultivar ICS 1 presented the most favorable results for the characteristics WHSP and WHSF, where the hybrid SIAL 169 x ICS 1 and its reciprocal were outstanding.
