甘蔗常用亲本及杂交组合家系评价

为评价我国甘蔗亲本的遗传特点和组合的选配效果,采用澳大利亚家系试验法,借助R软件估算亲本的遗传方差、一般配合力(GCA)和组合特殊配合力(SCA)。结果表明:锤度的遗传主要受母本加性基因效应所制约,蔗茎产量主要受母本加性基因效应和非加性基因效应所制约,株高、茎径和有效茎受父母本加性基因效应和非加性基因效应所制约。CP88-2143、ROC10、ROC26、桂糖00-122、粤糖00-318和云蔗99-113作母本,内江57-416、崖城93-26、粤糖91-976和粤糖00-319作父本杂交后代表现出高产高糖,可作为糖能兼用好亲本使用。根据组合特殊配合力效应(SCA),CP88-2143×粤糖00-319、ROC10×粤糖91-976、ROC26×崖城93-26、桂糖00-122×ROC22、粤糖91-976×ROC22、粤糖93-159×内江57-416和云蔗99-113×CP84-1198组合综合表现良好,可作为生产性杂交组合,加大力度使用。     

6个粤糖甘蔗亲本及其杂交组合的育种价值评价

为了解粤糖系列甘蔗(Saccharum officinarum)亲本的遗传特点和组合选配效果,采用家系评价方法,对以6个粤糖系列亲本(‘粤糖00-236’、‘粤糖03-373’、‘粤糖93-159’、‘粤糖94-128’、‘粤糖99-66’、‘粤糖08-1966’)为核心配置的55个组合F1群体的6个主要性状的遗传效应、经济育种值等参数进行估算。结果表明,6个性状中茎径受母本、父本加性基因效应和非加性基因效应影响,株高、锤度、含糖量和蔗茎产量受父本加性基因效应和非加性基因效应影响,而有效茎数受父本加性基因效应影响。6个亲本中,‘粤糖94-128’作为母本的蔗茎产量的一般配合力效应值和经济育种值最高,适宜做高产的母本,而‘粤糖93-159’作为父本的含糖量的一般配合力效应值最高,经济育种值也较高,适宜做高糖父本。55个组合中,‘粤糖94-128’×桂糖02-761’、‘粤糖00-236’ב桂糖94-119’和‘桂糖02-467’ב粤糖93-159’等的特殊配合力效应值和组合经济育种值均较优,可作为重点生产性家系。这为应用粤糖亲本进行杂交组合配置提供了依据。

Molecular mapping of leaf rust resistance gene LrNJ97 in Chinese wheat line Neijiang 977671

Neijiang 977671 and 19 near-isogenic lines with known leaf rust resistance genes were inoculated with 12 pathotypes of Puccinia triticina for postulation of leaf rust resistance genes effective at the seedling stage. The reaction pattern of Neijiang 977671 differed from those of the lines with known leaf rust resistance genes used in the test, indicating that Neijiang 977671 may carry a new leaf rust resistance gene(s). With the objective of identifying and mapping the new gene for resistance to leaf rust, F₁ and F₂ plants, and F_2:3 families, from Neijiang 977671 × Zhengzhou 5389 (susceptible) were inoculated with Chinese P. triticina pathotype FHNQ in the greenhouse. Results from the F₂ and F_2:3 populations indicated that a single dominant gene, temporarily designated LrNJ97, conferred resistance. In order to identify other possible genes in Neijiang 977671 other eight P. triticina pathotypes avirulent on Neijiang 977671 were used to inoculate 25 F_2:3 families. The results showed that at least three leaf rust resistance genes were deduced in Neijiang 977671. Bulked segregant analysis was performed on equal amounts of genomic DNA from 20 resistant and 20 susceptible F₂ plants. SSR markers polymorphic between the resistant and susceptible bulks were used to analyze the F_2:3 families. LrNJ97 was linked to five SSR loci on chromosome 2BL. The two closest flanking SSR loci were Xwmc317 and Xbarc159 at genetic distances of 4.2 and 2.2 cM, respectively. At present two designated genes (Lr50 and Lr58) are located on chromosome 2BL. In the seedling tests, the reaction pattern of LrNJ97 was different from that of Lr50. Lr50 and Lr58 were derived from T. armeniacum and Ae. triuncialis, respectively, whereas according to the pedigree of Neijiang 977671 LrNJ97 is from common wheat. Although seeds of lines with Lr58 were not available, it was concluded that LrNJ97 is likely to be a new leaf rust resistance gene.     

Lowland Switchgrass Plants in Populations Set Completely Outcrossed Seeds Under Field Conditions as Assessed with SSR Markers

Switchgrass has long been characterized as an outcrossing species. However, mating behavior of plants in populations grown in the field allowing open pollination has not been documented. Accordingly, the objectives of this study were to determine the fertilization mode (i.e., selfing vs. outcrossing) of two self-compatible plants and to assess the mating behavior variability of lowland switchgrass genotypes in populations under field conditions. In Experiment I, two self-compatible genotypes ‘NL94 LYE 16?×?13’ and ‘SL93 7?×?15’ along with two populations were planted with two replications on the OSU Agronomy Research Farm, Stillwater, OK. Sixty-four progeny derived from half-sib seeds of each genotype per replication per year were genotyped with 4 to 20 simple sequence repeat (SSR) markers. In both 2010 and 2011, all progeny plants of the two parents were completely outcrossed exhibiting 100 % self-incompatibility. In Experiment II, two genetically narrow-based (NL94 C2-3 and SL93 C2-3), each having five parents, and two broad-based (NL94 C3 and SL93 C3), each comprising 26 parents, switchgrass populations with three replications were field established at the OSU Cimarron Valley Research Station, Perkins, OK. The DNA samples were isolated from 1700 open-pollinated progeny of 62 seed parents in 2010 and 773 progeny of 42 parents in 2011. Among all the progeny genotyped with eight to 16 SSR markers, only one was identified as a selfed progeny, indicating very little variability in outcrossing behavior under the field conditions. The identification of specific genotypes like NL94 LYE 16?×?13 and SL93 7?×?15 which are self-incompatible in the open field but self-compatible under the controlled conditions potentially enables efficient production of F1 hybrid seed in switchgrass.     

甘蔗野生种割手密远缘杂交后代品质性状的遗传研究

利用甘蔗品种Co419与野生种割手密云南75-1-2远缘杂交,ROC25与远缘杂交后代云野02-356进行回交,分别获得F1和BC1群体;利用R软件,分析了2个群体全部真实性后代品质性状的遗传表现.结果表明,杂交后代品质性状广义遗传力高,正态分布特性明显,品质性状间显著正相关;F1含糖量和纤维含量高于商业亲本,但甘蔗蔗糖分、蔗汁糖分、蔗汁锤度和简纯度等性状劣于商业亲本;BC1除含糖量高于双亲外,其他性状介于双亲之间,但主要性状均优于F1,后代性状恢复快.     

QTL analysis for yield components and kernel-related traits in maize across multi-environments

Huangzaosi, Qi319, and Ye478 are foundation inbred lines widely used in maize breeding in China. To elucidate genetic base of yield components and kernel-related traits in these elite lines, two F_2:3 populations derived from crosses Qi319?×?Huangzaosi (Q/H, 230 families) and Ye478?×?Huangzaosi (Y/H, 235 families), as well as their parents were evaluated in six environments including Henan, Beijing, and Xinjiang in 2007 and 2008. Correlation and hypergeometric probability function analyses showed the dependence of yield components on kernel-related traits. Three mapping procedures were used to identify quantitative trait loci (QTL) for each population: (1) analysis for each of the six environments, (2) joint analysis for each of the three locations across 2?years, and (3) joint analysis across all environments. For the eight traits measured, 90, 89, and 58 QTL for Q/H, and 72, 76, and 51 QTL for Y/H were detected by the three QTL mapping procedures, respectively. About 70% of the QTL from Q/H and 90% of the QTL from Y/H did not show significant QTL?×?environment interactions in the joint analysis across all environments. Most of the QTL for kernel traits exhibited high stability across 2?years at the same location, even across different locations. Seven major QTL detected under at least four environments were identified on chromosomes 1, 4, 6, 7, 9, and 10 in the populations. Moreover, QTL on chr. 1, chr. 4, and chr. 9 were detected in both populations. These chromosomal regions could be targets for marker-assisted selection, fine mapping, and map-based cloning in maize.     

Construction of high-density linkage map and identification of QTLs for resistance to sorghum downy mildew in maize (<Emphasis Type="Italic">Zea mays</Emphasis> L.)

Sorghum downy mildew (SDM), caused by obligate biotrophic fungi Peronosclerospora sorghi, is an economically important disease of maize. The genetics of resistance was reported to be polygenic thereby necessitating identification of QTLs for resistance to SDM to initiate effective marker-assisted selection programs. During post-rainy and winter season of 2012, 645 F_2:3 progeny families from the cross CML153 (susceptible) × CML226 (resistant) were screened for their reaction to SDM. Characterization of QTLs affecting resistance to SDM was undertaken using the genetic linkage map with 319 polymorphic SSR and SNP marker loci and the phenotypic data of F_2:3 families. Three QTLs conferring resistance to SDM were consistently identified on chromosomes 2, 3 and 6 in both seasons. The resistant parent CML226 contributed all the QTL alleles conferring resistance to SDM. The major QTL located on chromosome 2 explained 38.68% of total phenotypic variation in the combined analysis with a LOD score of 9.12. All the three QTL showed partially dominant gene effects in combined analysis. The detection of more than one QTL supports the hypothesis that quantitative genes control resistance to P. sorghi. The generation was advanced to F₆ using markers linked to major QTLs on chromosomes 2 and 3 to derive 33 SDM resistant maize inbred lines.     

INHIBITION OF ACETYLCHOLINESTERASE IN VITRO BY PENTYLENETETRAZOL1

Abstract—The effect of pentylenetetrazol (PTZ) on acetylcholinesterase (E.C.3.1.1.7) was studied in vitro. The kinetics of the reaction were studied on AChE in crude homogenates of rat brain and in purified preparations from Electrophorus electricus. The K_m for rat brain AChE was 1·22 × 10^-4m, with a V_max of 1·37 μmol/g/min whereas the K₄ for competitive inhibition of the enzyme by PTZ was 4·7 × 10^-3m. The commercially purified enzyme exhibited a K_m of 1·73 × 10^-4m and a K_i of 1·00 × 10^-3m.     

Genomic alterations in the interspecific hybrid Helianthus annuus×Helianthus tuberosus

 The genome of a Helianthus annuus (2n=34) ×Helianthus tuberosus (2n=102) hybrid was studied at cytological, biochemical and molecular levels and compared to those of the parental species. Cytophotometric analyses showed that the hybrid has a 4C DNA content higher than expected and with a larger variability than in the parents. This high variability is probably not related to chromosome-number variations since the hybrid always had 2n=68 chromosomes. Moreover, hybrid interphase nuclei showed lower heterochromatin condensation than the parental ones. Thermal denaturation of genomic DNAs indicated that quantitative variation of some DNA families occurred in the hybrids compared to parents. Finally, molecular analyses of DNAs restricted with different enzymes, after Southern blotting and hybridization with HR probes, showed restriction patterns in the hybrid different from those observed in parents. These results indicate that interspecific hybridization between H. annuus and H. tuberosus may determine quantitative variation of some DNA families and differential DNA methylations that probably modify the nuclear structure. These phenomena are probable responses to a “genomic shock” following the interspecific cross. Received: 22 May 1998 / Accepted: 4 June 1998     

Perception of the electromagnetic field emitted by a mobile phone

Electromagnetic sensibility refers to the ability to perceive the electromagnetic field (EMF) without necessarily developing health symptoms attributed to EMF exposure. A large sample of young healthy adults (n = 84) performed two forced‐choice tasks on the perception of the GSM mobile phone EMF (902 MHz pulsed at 217 Hz), “Was the field on?” and “Did the field change?” (3 conditions × 100 trials for each task, n = 600 trials in total). A monetary prize was announced for good performance (correct response rate ≥75%, n = 600 trials). The performance was no better than expected by chance, and thus none of the participants won the prize. Two participants showed extraordinary performance in one of the task conditions (“Was the field on?”, n = 100 trials), with correct response rates of 97% (P = 1.28 × 10^?25) and 94% (P = 9.40 × 10^?22), but they failed to replicate the result in the retest of six blocks of the same condition 1 month later. Six participants had reported being able to perceive the mobile phone EMF in the preliminary inquiry, but they performed no better than the others. This study provides empirical evidence against the existence of electromagnetic sensibility to the mobile phone EMF, demonstrating the necessity for replication in EMF studies.
